Won BULow'S ECCENTRICrrIEs AT Re-
HEARSAL.-Dr. Hans Won Bu!ow is O great
artist. and Justly entitled to artistic eccen-
trlcitles. he splashed down into our quiet
art center, and In the course OF n very few
hours had every thing in a buzz. His style of
play is so eminently disciplined smooth q Nd
renned, and his cast of face so military and
selfrestralned that one hardly looks for the
oddlties OF temper that have marked his
visit here. IL was the fortune of the writer
hereof TO see him at the rehearsal on the
morning OF the first concert day. He came
IN QUICK, nervous way, stood q moment &c
the back OF the theater, took of his overcoat
Win jerk and slammed IL down. He lis
tened for while TO the orchestra, which was
rehearsing one of the overtures OF Gluck. n nd
nodded his head at the rhy thin with a smile
OF approval. Suddenly, as If shot out of a gun,
he disappeared, and In moment afterward
advanced through the forest of trOmbones
and big nddles TO the conductors stand, and
seized Mr.. Hamerik-his old pupil-caught
him 10 his bosom and kissed him. This
chaste yet tender dalliance lasted but q mo-
ment, and the darker side of his temper
flashed out. He walked to the piano. on
which hung sign whereon was inscribed the
word "Chlckering." 81 am mott he said
with look of scOrn, ga travelling advertise

large gilt letters face downward on the stage,
were a loathsome reptile. Calling out to an
acquaintance In the auditorium, he said in
good fdiomatic English: "Mr. -, that
Jackass has sent sign board down with the
piano" He then lapsed into German, In
which the words slump" and "schweinhund''
were audible. After he began the rehearsal,
In one of the orchestral interiudes, he got up
ana tipped softly around, picked up the
nateo sign and carried and stuck II under the
tai emu OF the grand piano; and then in an

LITTLE MISS NEw.-I was waiting in the
ladies' parlor at Willard's to see friend. A
sweet little human blossom IN shining white
me with one tiny finger in her mouth or

Individual looked at me very closely, re-
asked, "DOes 90 know my papa?r as if all the
world ought to guess her paternity at once

looked up a minute, then, playing with the
Mr.. News little durl, an I've dot baby
sister, too; she's in the next parloi with
mamma, and papa's done to work. He works

tally saw Mr.. Treasurer New busy in that

and hands. But wasn't 1t odd that the little
midget should have used such q term to ex-

Good Manners.

It's rule of manners TO avoid eyaggera-
too easily and too much. In man or woman
the face and the person lose power when they
are on the strain to express admiration. a
man makes his Interiors his superiors by
neat. Why need you, who are not gossip,
talk as gossip, and tell eagerly what the
neighbors or the journals say? State your
opinion without apology. The attitude is
tne main point, assuring your companion
that, come good news or come bad, You re-
main in good heart and good mind, which is
The best news you can possibly cOmmuni-
cate. Self-contrOl is the rule. You have In
are to keep down, and turn all his strength
10 beauty. For example, what a seneschal
and detective is laughter! 1t seems to re-
qulre several generations of education to
train asqueaking or shouting habit out OF
man. Sometimes, when in almost all ex-
pressions the Choctaw and the slave have
still betrays itself in his contemptib BILE
squeals of joy. The great gain is not to
conquer your ompaniOn-then you learn
nothing but cOnceit-but to find compan-
him and be OveIthrOwn, horse and foot, wi IN
utter destruction of all your logic and learn
ing There Is defeat that is useful. Then
you can see the real and the counterfeit, and
Will never accept the counterfeit again.
You will adopt the art of war that has de-
feated you. You will ride to battle horsed on
You Will accept the fertile truth, instead
OF the solemn customary lie. When people
come TO see us, we foOlishly prattle, lest we
be inhospitable. But things said for CONVEX
sation are halk eggs. Don't say things.
What you are stands over you the while,
and thunders so that cannot hear what
you say to the contrary. A lady of my
acquaintance said, al don't ca re SO much for
what they say as 1 do for what makes them
say it." The law of the table is beauty-a
respect TO the common soul of all guests.

this law; never intrudes the orders OF the

say, we never "talk shop" before company
Lovers abstain from caresses, and haters

Lehigh and Susquehanna road yesterday

she was walking along the road, and by
some mishap had her foot caught between

alarming. She grew white with terror,
pulled at her foot with all her might, and
struggled to free herself from what seemed 10
her fearful fate. At length, as the train

The Mexican border Raids.

WASHINGTON, April Goth. - The
prinefpal subjectof discussion nc the
Cabinet meeting tD-daywas the situa-
tion On the Mekican border. The off,
clad reports as to the rading parties
we're formally presented and consid-
cred. They consisted of the report
received by the Postmaster General
from the Postmasters who have been
molested, and of the reports of army
officers. These documents substanti-
ated most of the dispatches from the
Mexican border. The Postmaster
General showed that several of his
officers have been killed. The Secre-
tary of State manifested some restive-
ness at these raids. 1t is understood
that the Mexican Government had
disclalmed all responsibility for these
incursions. 1t is evident that if these
raids are to continue, the border mail
services will of necessity be discontin-
ued. No formal conclusion was reached
but it was generally understood that a
note of protest would soon be prepared
to be presented to the Mexican Gov
ernment as preliminary to the pre-
sentation of a formal note. Mr.. Jewell
is arranging for the presentation of all
the correspondence Of the Postofice
Department on this subject.

all, Nelson & Perkins have received q
letter from Mark Robinson, their
agent, urgently requesting assistance
to save wreckage from the Ventura at
Point Sur. He says country people,
for fifty miles around, have gathered
at the scene Of the wreck, and are TAX
ing possession of everything they can
lay their hands on, forbidding him to
touch anything unless he pays them
salvage. He is powerless to prevent
them, and without prompt and strong
anything. The steamer has gone to

Dry Times and shert Crops up North.

YREKA, April 2Sth.-The Journal Of
this morning contains the following:
"In consequence of the past Winter
being so dry, with no Spring rains
sufficient to moisten the ground well,
the crops where no irrigation can be
obtained in Shasta valley are suffer-
ing and many of them will prove a
total loss. We learn that ThOs. Orr
and N. d. Julien, finding that their
crops would amount to nothing, have
turned their stock into the grain fields
to feed, and others will probably do so
sooner or later. The grass on the
Sonth side of the hills looks as yellow
as in the middle Of Summer, and al
though the stock looks fat at present,
they are liable to fare poorly during
the coming Summer and Fall months.
Those who have good water privileges
will raise tolerable good crops, though
the water supply will be very limited
this season, owing to there being very
little, if any, snow on the high noun
tains, which are usually covered until
June
