GOING TO THUNDER.


Reesalectiens - IN 0lA staeer-A
Scene In Macbeth.
A few years ago a new opera house
was built in city in the interior of
Pennsylvania, and soon after its CON-
pletion it vas engaged by 4 theatrical
company, which began its season with
a representation of Macbeth" They
were little short handed, and the
manager engaged \ man named Steb-
bins to help behind the scenes. Among
other things, Stebbins was instructed
to rattle the thunder out of the sheet
iron concern made for that purpose,
and he was told to produce the deton-
ations only when the manager gave
him the signal with his hand. That
night, when the performance came
of, Stebbins thundered along all right
as the curtain went up, and during
9hc witches scene. But when Mac
beth began his soliloquy, fly lit on
the managers nose, and as he lifted
his hand to brush it of, Stebbins mis-
took the movement for the preconcer
ted signal, and just as the warrior on
the stage uttered the words, Whose
horrid image doth unfix my hair" the
new man rolled out a most terrific
clap, which made the audience jump
in their seats. Macbeth took a pri-
vate swear, and repeated the line,
"Whose horrid image doth unfx my
hair?' but Stehbins seeing the mana
ger gesticulating wildly at him, imagin-
ed that more thunder was wanted
after the word hair, and so he shook
out fresh lot of awful reverberations
and as the manager still stood there
shaking his fist at him, Stebbins
thought perhaps the man was worried
because there was not enough thunder
so he pounded and shook and ratified
and jumped around with that artillery
of heaven, until the perspiration rolled
off him in streams. When he stopped
for a second to take a better hold,
Macbeth" would begin again,
Whose horrid image"
Stebbins. "R-r-r-rip-bang-cr r

And while the audience roared

The editor of the Oconomowoc
Times has triumphed. The village ho-
tel.keeper sued him for $97 worth Of
dinners, which the aforesaid editor
had eaten ut his table. The voracious
journalist proved that the dinners
were always preceded by conversa-
tions like the following: "Harger,
I've got nice dinner to-day-come
in" mo. l thank you, I'm going
home" Fay would prevail on him to
stay, and after dinner the following
colloquy: Everything in there all
right, Harger?' Everything excell-
ent." Dessert all right?" "Excell-
ent." lice cream all right "Deli-
cious, Mr.. Fay" Very we'll, remem-
Der this in your paper next week. ;"
The jury decided that the editor was
not only entitled to his dinners as a
dead head but awarded him $63 to
boot, and gloriously vindicated the
freedom of the press.

Hon. G.. F. Hoar's educational bill
now before Congress, is intended to
offer a premium to all States to estab-
lish schools for the free education of
all its children between the ages of
six and sixteen years. The measure
is not of any great importance to the
older States, where schools have al
ready been established. 1t is claimed
however, that the establishment Of
such an educational fund would stimu-
late the newer States to the building
up of public school system as efici-
ent in reaching all classes of the COM
munity as the schools of the Middle
States and New England. Mr.. Hoar' =
bill provides that all moneys realized
from the sale of public lands shall be
set apart for educational purposes,
and shall he distributed to the sever
al States of the Union, according to
their population, provided that the
States claiming their proportion shall
establish free schools, make annual
reports, and show that moneys pre-
viously granted to them have been
used FIR the purposes required by the
act. Other sections prescribe the
manner of the distribution, the dispo-
sition to be made of moneys not clai-
med or not allowed. and penalties for
misapplication of the funds. To fur
ther aid those States having an in
complete system, it is provided that
for the first FIVE years the distribution
Of the fund shall be according to the
ratio of the population of ten years
old and upwards who cannot write.

BRAHMAS.-
A correspondent of the Baptist

A correspondent of the Baptist
Union says:
In the autumn after moving into
the country, I bought ten light Brah-
mashens and one cock. I also bought
four settlers tive large common hens.
They began to lay early, and we
kept an accurate account of eggs
from the Brahmas till they had laid
oae hundred dozen. We raised one
hundredand sixty-seyen chickens-very
fine and large. Som of these l sold
for S. trio. We killed and dressed
for home use large number. In
deed to raise to sell was no part of
cur plan. It was merely a domestic
arrangement. Inever saw chickens
grow SO finely from the time they
were Matched. Their feed was corn
meal mixed with small portion of
wheat bran, and sprinkled with cay
enne pepper in moderate quantity,
they had also access to a trough
filled with milk, and sometimes they
had scraps from the soap-boilers 1
have raised chickens of various breeds
and / have come to the conclusion
that take them all in all, the. Brah-
mas are superior to any other race of
hens. They are good especially to
cross with our common hens, giving
weight of carcass and strength of
constitution; good for layers and un-
surpassed for the table.

A HAPPY THOUGHT.

A story is told of Governor Chit
endon, who was one ofthe early Gov
errors of Vermont. He was quite
an extensive farmer, and in those
days to be Governor did not great
ly interfere with the incumebnt's
ordinary, vocation. He had two
sons. One Of them was a boy of
bright intellect and the other decided
ly dull. The old gentleman thou ht
that nature had done enough for
the youngest and that he would
marke bis war in the world
without more than a ccmmon-school
education, but that the elder one
would need all the aid ola liberal
education to make up the natural
deficiency, and he was accordingly
sent TO college, while his brother was
kept on the farm. 1t, happened one
spring that among the fruit Of the
Governors herd was a very stupid
calf. II would lot suck or drink,
ald no amount Of effort on the part
Of the father, son, or hired man.

THE CREMATION OF SHELLEY.

Mrs. Shelley, in her pathetic story
OF that sad voyage on the Tuscan sea.
bitterly laments the tyranny Of the
Tuscan red-tape, by which alone she
was deprived of the satisfaction OF
looking once more on the face OF her
dead. "The remains of those we
lost" says she, swere cast on shore,
but by the quarantine laws Of the
coast we were not permitted to have
possession Of them, the law with re-
speed to everything cast on land by
the sea being that such should be
burned to prevent the possibility Of
any remnant bringing the plague in
to Italy, and no representations
could alter the law. At length
through the kind and unwearied ex
ertions of Mr.. Mswkins, our charge
d'afairs at Florence, we gained per
mission to receive the ashes after the
bodies were consumed" The Gre
nation of Shelly cannot be usefully
cited, therefore, in the pending con
troversy at all. It was neither a
hygienic necessity" nor "senti
mental piece of paganlsm." It was
simply triumph of routine and red
tape over humanity and courtesy,
and that in peculiarly fragrant
case, for the unfortunate boat in
which Shelley persisted with histriend
was bringing them simply from the
Tuscan port Of Leghorn to the Tus-
can port of Spezza, so that it was
quite impossible it should bring into
Tuscany any plague not already ex-
listing there. fH

SWEDEN BY CANDLE-LIEHT.

autumn. But the summer days ere very
long, and the sun, after setting, sinks on
ly few degrees undcr the horizon, till-
ing The whole space during the night
with a mystical lumin BUSINESS which
makes the pig-s-y romantic. At mid
night you can walk in the garden and
read letter from your mother. And
how singular the letter is Every word
in it has new meaning, and SO has
every objcct around you. The street,
the houses, the old church, the river, the
hills all look so strange, and yet they all
look as if you had never before seen their
true shape, and never before understood
their true meaning. The houses do not
press the ground with their weight
they float in the air like pictures. The
river does not push its waves forth

rapidly but gently, TO catch the images
