Barnsby's "MaZeppa.O

Barnsby was leading man in the theatre
at the city Of Blank, Pennsylvania, and
when the manager determined to bring out
..Mazeppa'' as show piece, Barnsby was
selected as the person to represent the hero.
None of the livery stable people would hire
a horse for the performance, and the man
ager said he didn't care-he would rent a
mule, even if the presence of such long
cared animal upon the stage did do violence
to the proprieties. After few rehearsals
the mule did we'll enough. 1t would bound
up the white pine precipice with an enthu-
eiastic ardor which was most cOmmendable.
When the play was produced they trotted
out the mule, strapped Ma=eppa on its back
and turned it's head toward the precipice.
But it manifested reluctance to move up
the frowning cliff. 1t began to back. 1t re
ceded until it reached the fOOtlights, and
then it drove out its hind feet suddenly, and
kicked the leader of the orchestra clean
through the bass drum, nearly killing him.
Then it stood still and mused over things,
and summed up recollectiOns Of it's youth,
and meditated over the titful past. and
dreamed of by-gOne days, while it occasion
ally lifted its of hind leg and scratched it.
self ON the side, stopping in the midst OF the
exercise sometimes, with its leg halfway
up in the air as some new thought seemed
to strike it. Then the scene shifter jabbed
it with sword to bring it out of its reverie,
and all at once it began to pitch and
rear and wheel round and round, and to
reach its nose over and chew Ma-eppa' s
elbow. Then it dashed through canvas
temple at the side. kicked over four muslin
trees, tore sixty dollar vermilion sunset
to rags, and nearly switched the eyes ont
of Tartar chieftain with it's tail. Finally
it was seized with the blind staggers, and
it lay down, rolled on Ma=eppG three or
four times, and finally slid over into the
orchestra, upsetting the lamps and setting
fire to the stage, and bringing up at last
with one hoof in the mouth of the trombone
and it's tail tangled up with the triangle.
Barnsby was in the hospital for a month,
and now whenever anybody asks him if he
ever played Ma.epya he feels as If he
wanted to commit murder.

Refused Burial.

!From the Montreal Witness, June 26I
Yesterday morning a. eight o'clock the
friends and relations of poor ChabOt, the
urinter who was last week drowned IN the
karbor. followed his remains to the grave
in the Roman Catholic cemetery, but,
etrange to say, the authorities at the last
moment refused to allow the body to be
inferred. Upon inquiries being made 1t was
etated that a note had been handed to
Bishop Bourget, informing him that the
deceased was a member of a secret society
inimical to the Catholic faith, and that, con-
seruently, he had felt himself constrained
10 nreyent the burial of the deceased in
consecrated ground. This was a dreadful
blow TO the friends of Chabor. whose
only connection was with the Montreal
Typographical Union No. 81, which of
course IS very far from being secret So
ciety. Several persons attempted to have
TIE order Withholding burial rescinded,
but up TO 9 A. NJ, to-day with no
success. The remains were, however, al
lowed to be deposited in the cemetery
vault, where they will remain until some
thing definite is decided on. deputatlon
from the union will, this morning, formally
visit the Bishop and lay before him the
true state of affairs; explaining IN what
manner deceased was member, etc. Ano-
.her rumor is that Bishop Bourget, having
been told of the late meeting OF the Inter.
national Typographical Union in the hall
of the Institute Canadian, made up his
mind that the two bodies were associated
. together, and both were, therefore, well
HNOrthy of accommodation. Much IN
IAignation it expressed by the printers
generally at the Bishops conduct.

Rather Mixed.

Our neighbor Church was married four
times, and his wives were all buried IN
certain graveyard. 1t became necessary
ultimately to remove the remains OF the dear
departed to another cemetery. church nm
dertook the work himself, but in carrying
the sainted dead out in furniture cart. the
bones unfortunately got mixed, and when
reinterment began even Church himself
was unable to tell which was Emily and
which was Hannah. After doing the
best he could, he had the four graves
closed, but being strictly accurate man,
he felt that it would be wrong
to use the old headstOnes when he was
to be precise, he had a new set made with
not at all certain that Hannahs dust might
not all be under her tombstone. So. IN
order, such inscriptions as these: Here lies
Hannah Church land probably part OF
Emily, was born" ETC.; Sacred to the
memory OF Mary Church (who seems to be
mixed with Matilds), who was born.' etc.
Stranger, pause and drop tear,
For Emily Church lies buried here,
Mingled, in some perplexing manner,
With Mary, Matilda, and probably Hannah"
AL the wives seemed satisfied with this
arrangement; but some of Church's mothers
in-law considered that his sense of respon-
sibility, as . man of verscity, is altogether
too tne.-4ax Adeler.

London dispatches. published in the RE-
PUBLICAN of the twelfth Of June, an
nounced that the Mississippi Valley Society,
for the promotion of trade and the invest
ment of capital in Western and Southern
States, has just been organized in that city.
A subsequent dispatch to the New York
J,u.na! Of Commerce states:
Among the promoters of the enterprise
are John Crossley, of Yorkshire: George
Wostenholm, of Sheffield: Alfred Field, Of
Birmin CHAM, Donald Nicholl. of London.
and Sir Edward Pierson. Of Wimbledon.
The three latter gentlemen are on the exc
cutive committee.
Commenting upon this. the St. Louis
REPUBLICAN says:
1t need hardly be stated that the above
named gentlemen are of the highest re-
spectability. For the satisfaction of our
readers in general We will state that Mr..
John Crossley is of the firm of John Cross
lev & Sons Qimited), the great carpet man
ufacturers of Halifax. He is one of the
heavy capitalists of England, being various
ly estimated as worth from ten to twenty
five millions of dollars. Mr.. George Wos-

Gates his quality. The remainder OF the
names of the executive committee, thirteen
in all, will be received within week and
published. They are no doubt the peers
and worthy associates of the gentlemen
named above.
The organization Of this society in Lon
don, in spite of the adverse circumstances
surrounding the enterprise and under the
fostering influence of such eminent persons,
is one Of the most significant and important
facts Of the day. 1t is remarkable that at
the moment when the people of the Missis.

former differences, are uniting to clear their
track to the markets Of the world, the
people Of Great Britain are uniting to meet
