engagement us evening in their interest
lng specially, 1.-The Bellies Of the Kitchen"
IL will be rev. mbered that during their for
mer visit to Washington they became gre 1T
fayorites with the public, and doubtless their
old admirers and many new faces will greet
them. The play this evening will be pre-
ceded by q laughable farce entitled Delicate

"a Bunch Of Berries"
Fords Opera House.-Kelly and Icons Min
sfrelS begin al engagement here this evening.
The baltimore american says of their per.
formances in that city The Kelly and Leon
| organization has no superior. The ind vid-
nal members of the company are all deci
dedly clever, and the programmes are full of
fresh and racy things. Leon" the only
Leon"-does female characters with that re-
marsahle assumption of the feminine voice,
| figure and manner that none of his imitators
can approach. Kelly and Dave Wilson do
the comic business with overwhelming eff
feet. and elicit encore after encore. Taken
as q whole. the performance was sparkling
and lively from beginning to finish and there
was much of 1T that was entirely original.
YoM KIPPUR. the Hebrew "Day of Atone

of worship of the two Hebrew congregations
held during Satnrday The Adas Israel
ORTHODOXY congregation, on Pennsylvania
avenue, near 9th street, we've engaged in
prayer during the day, and the officials OF
the congregation were arrayed in shrolsis,
as they were on the Hebrew New Years day,
as symbol OF the uncertainty of human
life The "Sbofar" was also blown. The
Washington (Reformed) congregation, on sth
street. near III northwest, celebrated the day
appropriately. In the morning the reader,
words engraved I'm Hebrew characters on The
Ark of the Peutateuch. "KnOw We before
whom thou art standing" The "ShOfar''
was blown I'm accordance with custom, and

DEPTH OF THE GREAT LAKEs.-There is
mystery about the American lakes. Lake
Erie Is only sixty or seventy feet deep; but
Lake Ontario, which is 500 feet deep, is go
| feet deep below the tide level of the ocean, or
as low as most parts of the Gulf OF st. Law
| renee; and the bottom OF Lake Huron, Mich
| igan and Superior, although the surface is
much higher, are all from their vast depth
on a level with the bottom of Ontario; now
| as the Detroit river, after allowing all the
| probable portion carried off by evapOrat ton,
does not appear by any means equal to the
lakes receive, IL has been conjectured that
subterranean river may run from Lake So
csr,o., by the Huron, to Lake Ontario. This
4 for tie sim ular fact that her, ing and salmon
are caught in all the lakes communicating
| with the st. Lawrence, cut no others As the
Falls OF Niagara must have always existed
\ IL would puzzle the naturalist to say how
| these nsh got into the upper lake without
ees 0 eHee amy peri
nish a not improbable solution of the mystic
rious fiux and refux Of the lakes.
Too MUCH INsrINCr-The instinct of
newfoundland dogs TO save q drowning per-
son has been somewhat painfully tested by

IT IS THE OPINION Of the Baltimore Ga
| zette that "it is the greatest of absurdities
| TO call the graduates OF colleges thoroughly
| educated" and that "the mass OF matter
| that 10 crammed AZ school into young Amer
| lea only to lie undigested and useless In after
4 life 10 wonderful" 1t goes on TO say that the
1 society for the encouragement Of home study
4 for young women is suggestive of what might
be done by can association Of young men am
| bilious Of Improvement, and whose stddies
| should take practical direction under some
| professor capable Of laying out q proper
| course Of reading, and ready to explain any
points that require calculation.
