UNPROFITABLE GEESE.

One ofour old whaling captains, who had
spent the whole prime of his life box-haul-
ing from Cape Horn to Kamtstatka, with
but indifferent success, having scraped
together some five or six thousand dollars,
retired from the sea, moved '.up country
with his family, and bought small farm.
Like many Others of his class, few
years suflced to swamp his capital, and he
died mserably poor. But that is anticipat-
| ing matters and has nothing to do with the
anecdote.
One of his country neighbors said to
him, soon after he settled on the farm:
Captain X, you've got nice pond on
your place, and you ought to have good
large flock of geese. It's grand place,
to keep 'em, and they'll be profitable to
you"
"Well, reckon they will, said the cap
tain
1--WE got some nice ones to sell ye,"
continued the kind neighbor. '.You come
over and pick 'em out yourself"
SO the captain selected suitable num-
ber, making his choice rs he would among
ashoal of whales when drought to- or
as boy would from basket of apples.
In the spring following, he happened to
be visiting the farm of another neighbor,
dud dliiohS oticl eiibSo hiSPte.S" Wy
geese, making comparisons in his mind
highly favorable to his own Judgment.
"Don't think your birds are so handsome
as mine," he remarked. ''Do You have
any eggs yet??n
''Oh, yes they've been laying freely
for this month or more"
'Well don't know how It's" said Cap
tain X. 1--WE got the handsomest flock
that I've seen anywhere this season-pick-
ed em ont, one by one, from our neighbor
Jones's stock, and | feed EN- high, too.
But not an egg have they laid yet. | only
wish you'd come over and see 'em. Per-
haps you can give me an idea how to man.
age EN-"
His friend did '.come over and see 'em'
the next day, and, as soon as he could
speak for laughter he enlightened the an
cient mariner as to the cause Of their non-
productiveness, by informing him that they
were all -ganders!
Jones had sold Captain X. and the birds
and it was by a series of little speeula-
tions and blunders that his hard earnings
were fooled away in a few farming cam
paigns.

THE BxRGERs AT THE OPERA Hc Use
There was en- immense audience at the
Opera House, last night, to welcome the
Berger Family. The crowd was a high
compliment TO the well-meFited reputa-
ton OF the Company, ard it Is an sddi-
tons compliment that q large number Of
seats are already engaged for tonight.
The performance last night was In the
main excellent, though one or two pieces
were rather fat n comm on-place. The
bell music was verysfair throughout, soms-
times very good, bat not at all equal to the
AlIeghanians. The bell d 1ett was really
fine, and was loudly eneored. Sol Smith
RasselFs songs,SfT Tell me what's a married
man to do' and the " Widow JONES' were
received with married appreciation and
much applau c. Miss Anna Berger's
violin solo was really excellent. Her
singing was also well executed, Il her
voice is too delicate, and Ola not niit hall.
Her character songs were wei acted, but
Ter voice rarely reached the sack seats
Miss Louisa BergeT's' " harp solo" was a
very artistic performance, and deserved
the hearty applause it received. Miss
Maud SANKEY'S songs Wore magnificent.
She has a beautiful, an exquisite voice,
that has been well and carefully Guilt
waited, being as clear as a silver trumpet.
Miss Elite Berger's management or the
baritone or E fat was greatly admired,
and was a performance Of great merit.
The music by the Cornet Band was adj
mirable, and eilelted much admiration.
The entire entertainment was well re.
eeived, though a few of the pieces were
faulty and uninteresting, There viii be a
change of programme TO night, and new
beauties will be brought forth from their
inexhaustibIe repertoire. Seats should be
secured early 10 day. Russell viii, OF
course, repeat his inimitsble p~ersonation
of Widow Jones +" and the" Little School
Girl
