IHE SOCIAL STAGE. Original Dramas, &C.,
Ior Home Recreation, Schools, &c. By
George NJ. Baker, Boston: Lee & Shepard,
1871.
This volume contains ten dramas and bur-
lesques arranged for the purposes indicated in
the title. Without soaring into a too ambi-
tious region, they present variety Of subjects
grave and gay and afford for amateur perform
ers numerous dialogues which may be easily
committed to memory and yet if delivered
with spirit would prove entertaining to q par
lor audience. They appear to be quite free
from those tours de force in which amateur ac-
tors are too apt to fail, but which they are also
too apt to fancy. 1t is most excellent thing
for the memory, this studying part in private
which is to oe repeated in public; it furnishes
a test for the readiness of ones recollecti,ns.
and by exercising both the memory and the
readiness is of as much service to the mental
action as good course of gymnastics for the
muscular development. Amateur theatrical.
have been so much in vogue of late that a
manual of th, sort will be valuable to many
and the care and precision with which the
stage directions are given, and the moderate
demands on the purse and the patience of the
eluefs winch most Of the plays involve, make
this collection iast what it should be for its
purpose. The Introduction of music is a still,
greater attraction to many of them and allows
an opportunity for the display of domestic tai
ent often of a high degree. Several OF them have
been performed; most of them have been pub
lished, while two OF them are entirely new
They may be had separately also for use
among learners. Among the shorter pieces
"Lightheart's Pilgrimage" seems to US the
prettest and likely TO produce the best effect;
while "Thlrty minutes Tor refreshments" if
played with the proper rush might "bring
down the house." Those plays which read
best are of course not always those which are
best on the stage, and vivacty of action and
easy elocution are apt to ba of quite "a mncb
importance as fine sentiment and eleoant d;c-
ton. The approaching season will no doubt
open up many opportunities for "The Social
Stage" 10 make itself popular. MINIS.

But this story is evidently intended as a

Hale suggests that though decimals will null

OF which they are composed aggregate with

must originate in each individual. The four

was born in Baltimor3, of German
parents, somewhere between 1910 and
1912. When the Seventh Maine
came through to Washington she
became acquainted with member of
that regiment, and was married TO him,

A Good Game.

There is simple but inteiesting
play to which our young folks have
given the name of ''Verbarium," and
which has had a remarkable effect,
within our observation In stimulating
the faculty of language in many some
what sluggish brains. A number of
persons-the more the merrier-are
provided with pencils, and a word
ehosen as the verbarium which each
Write at the head of his sheet. The
object of the game is to draw out the
vast number of words which lie folded
up, as 1t were, In the verbarium, and
this is accomplished, amid much ex-
citement, and amusement, IN the
following manner; Let US suppose,
for instance, that the word chosen Is
treason" One of the company is
appointed time-keeper; and the sig
nal being given, each writes as rapidly
as possible all the words hagining
with a "T'' which can be spelled With
the letters of the verbarium.
Atthe end oftwo minutes the time
keeper calls time !" and the eager PEN
ellis are obliged to stop. The company
then read, in order, the words they
have written. As each word IS read,
those who have not written 1t call out
no, and those who have 1t cross 1t
out from their lists, and place oppo-
site to it a number of credits, equal to
the number of defaulters- If three
persons for instance, fail to have the
word "tea, " the rest take three credits
Two minutes are then devoted to
WORDS beginning with Il, and so on
until the whole verbarIum is exhaust
ed, when each player counts the aggre-
gate number Of credits, and whoever
has the largest number is declared win
ner. The possibilities OF fun in this
game do not all appear from a dry
description like the foregoing. The
lamentations of those who, in their

+ grams, have overlooked the simplest

Mysterious Disappearance.

ST. LOUIS, February 25.-A mys-
terry still eDshrouds the whereabouts
of Joseph Tuttle. The only evidence
Of his being alive is derived from a
young woman with whom he had been
on intimate terms for year past, and
who states he came TO her house on
Wednesday morning, partly dressed,
and wounded in the hip. He stated
that he had been shot and robbed by
a mob at Venice. Yesterday morn
ing ne left this woman's house for the
purpose of seeking surgical attend
ance, since. when she has not heard
from him, nor is it known that any of
his friends have any knowledge of his
whereabouts. The woman's state
ment was not fully relied on.
Tuttle was formerly employed In a liq
uor house here and acted as steward on
steamboats,. There is no evidence
that he is related to Gen. Tuttle of

turned from the South, and will go

there, her husband was struck by a
piece of a shell, at Harrison's Land

Before he died she made him aware
OF her presence. much to his surprise,
she having preserved her disguise up
to that time even from him. although
meeting aud speaking familiiarly with
him hourly all that time.
After seeing her husband properly
buried, she remained with the regi-
ment until after the battle of An
tietam, after which it was ordered to
Portland, to recruit. Lhey arrived

and the following February, made
herself known to the Colonel, and
was discharged.

stole the uniform, is now clerk In

says she meets him nearly every day
but he does not recognize her. She is
prosecuting a suit against her hns-

time supports herself writing visiting
cards. She was never wounded or
