Actors are proverbial for their COOL
ness, yet the snecdote which has just
cropped up would seem to prove that
Emile Devrient might carry of the palm
and deserve monument in Wenham
lake ice. On one occasion when the
Grand Theater at Vienna was crowded,
the Emperor Francis, with several men,
bers OF his family, being in the Imperial
box, the play, Schillers "Robbers," had
reached its third act, when cry
arose that the stage was on fire.
Devrient signed at once to the
prompter, who lowered the curtain, the
actor stepping out in front of it ere
it wholly fell. In his clear, clarion
voice, he Said: "There is no fire. The
Emperor has been despoiled of an
aigrette of diamonds on entering the
theater. No honest man will object to
being searched. You will pass out one
by one at each several entrance, and be
searched by the police stationed at the
several doors. Any man attempting to
to go out of order will be arrested"
The'crowd, deceived By the coolness and
the charge, poured out. As each reach
ed the door he was simply told to hurry
on, and, just as the last rows Of the
upper gallery were filing out, the flames
burst through the curtain and enveloped
the auditorium; but not life was lost,
though In less than half an hour after.
wRrds the building was In RUNE.

The advance guard of Western buyers
has reached New York and operations
thus far give good promise of a strong
and healthy fall trade in all our Eastern
cities. The wants OF the great West
have been brought down to absolute ne
cessities, and it is only when matters
reach such point that signs Of busi-
ness activity begin to manifest them
selves. The forced economy OF the last
three years has been productive of great
good in many ways. 1t has shown that a
reckless extravaganza induced by an eX-
ceptional period OF prosperity is not con-
ducive to happiness nor necessary to ex-
istence. This same economy has taught
our manufacturers and importers use-
full lesson. 1t has checked and in many
cases brought to full stop that curse OF
American business operations-overdo
ing. The plant and product Of our man
ufacturerers are both well reduced and
the heavy losses that have accrued from
carrying such heavy loads will soon
give way to that legitimate business
which for twenty-five years before the
war made our New England manufao-
turers the wealthiest associations In the
country.-BOston Traveller.

From 1865 to 1872 Hon. w. H. .Drunmond
spent most Of his time in hunting the
wild animals of South and Southeastern
Africa, and he tells the story Of his ex-
periences in a book just published in
Edinburg. His adventures were often
very perilous. He has been knocked
down and pounded by buffaloes, chased
by elephants and clawed by lions. Mr..
Drummond discovered one curious fact
about elephants which had not been pres
viously known. They get drunk. There
is a fruit of which they are passiOnately
fond which makes them tipsy, and after
eating it they stagger about, screaming
SO as to be heard III les OF, and not sell
dom having tremendous fights.
ssNative hunters" writes Mr., Drum
mond, ''fear to approach them when in
this state; but, on the principle that it
10 safer to quarrel with drunken man
than a sober one, consider that, so long
as you possess sufficient nerve not to be-
come frustrated by their trumpeting, or
by the exhibition Of strength displayed
upon the trees and upon one another,
you have far more chance at such time
OF killing several, as they are not so
likely to take to fight at the first shot,
and perhaps make their next halt thirty
miles of. Although l do not think that
the lion deserves the title Of king OF
beasts, as the elephant is more sagacious,
and the black rhinocerous is certainly
more dangerous, and either OF the two
could kill him In o few moments with
but little danger to themselves, l con-
slider him the most nobleAlooking OF all /"

noon on the Star grounds, being wit

SUN and a reliable gentleman. His statement
will doubtless reacn many sufferers who will,
with our vouching for its truthfulness. have
cause to feel as grateful toward him as he now
feels toward DR.. Sherman.
The foregoing remarks from the New York
Sun must be cheering to those who are rup-
tured. =.
The cure is effected by DR.. sHERMAN's
method without anv operation, simply by ex-
ternal local applications, both mechanical and
medicinal, made daily by the patient, who,
while under treatment, can perform any kind
Of labor, or take the most active exercise with
perfect security from dangers or infiamed and

injury caused by the use OF trusses, and with

The above cut represents the Hon. Daniel 8.
Dickinson, former Attorney General Of the
STRANGULATED RUPTURE.
MIR. Dickinson suffered intensely, notwith-
standing he had the best surgical aid. Every
thing was done that science could suggest, and
as the last remedy the knife used, and yet he
died in great anguish on the third day. This
is fearful warning to those who are ruptured.

Prisoner and ATTORNEY.

&. THE Melbourne Argus tells the follow
ing very good story: A gentleman of the
legal profession at one of the great min
ing centers, having spent gaudy season
at a leading hotel, found the fresh air too
much for him. Instead of reaching the
bosom of his family he gravitated to the
lookup, with the much-needed assistance
Of a servant of the Queen in full uniform.
The lOck-up-keeper didn't know him, and
consequently couldn't send for his friends
to bail him out, as is frequently done by
those tender-hearted officers of Justice. So
he was allowed to sleep until seven in the
morning, when he was aroused and asked
his name, which he promptly said was
" Johnson" He obtained soap, water,
and clothes brush and was refreshed by a
cup of tea. He then proposed to the
lookup keeper that the official should
walk beside him to the Police court.
When the time came this was done, and,
by keeping the officer in earnest converse,
it appeared as though the lawyer was en-
gagged in some business before the court,
and when the name of Johnson was called
he calmly rose and said: 81 appear for
the prisoner, your Worship" " Whatr'
said the Police Magistrate, "do you deny
that he was drunk" ooh, no." he re-
piled, he was very drunk, but is very
sorry for it." Five shillings, or six
hours imprisonment" said the Police
Magistrate. " will pay his fine myself"
said this ready-witted gentleman, who in
this instance showed that the man who is
his own lawyer hasn't always a fool for
his client
