Eccentricities of Genius.

A Cork manager tells how he engag-
ed Geo. Francis Train to spout in his
theatre. After the engagement had
been duly heralded, the opening night
came. Says the manager:
The night came! The streets were
blocked with people. The house was
full to overlooking, and was inform.
ed by the call. boy that, although it
was ten minutes to eight, and the mu-
sic had been 'rung in" Mr.. Train had
not put in an appearance.
Here was a dilemma! knew the
old man too we'll to hope. FASTENED
to a hotel, and found him seated, slip
pers and gown on, reading apaper.
s'Mr.. Train,'' cried, edo you know
what time it is! The theatre is JAM
med with people, and the music is al
ready
''Never get excited" interrupted he;
stake things quietly. l have decided
not to speak tonight
The GOODNESS of the reply ansered
me, and I said:
"You shall go to the theatre if car
ry you there" then rushed around
the corner to the theatre, and ordered
the brass band from the balcony to the
hotel at once.
'There's one condition. said Train,
meeting me at the door OF his room
on which will accompany you.'
"There no condition, SIR" angrily
replied. 81 have ordered the band
here, and you must follow them, or
prove your superiority in strength over
NINE"
Apparently in delightful mood at
the joke, he followed me to the theatre
entrance, followed by tho band playing

O'Clock precisely, he walked upon the

His discourse was one Of his noted
melanges, jumping, as the Cork Herald
termed it, ':from Halifax to Jer

Hongkong." His voice was in perfect
tune, and his wonderful gestures were
carrying his hearers by storm, when
voice from the gallery sung out :

THE LITTLE BOY I DREAMED ABOUT.

BY. MRS. g. n. B. P1ATT.
This is the only world know;
1t is in this same world, no doubt:
All me! but could love him 50,
II could only find him out,
The Little Boy dreamed about!
This Little Boy who never takes
The prettiest orange he can see,
The reddest apple, all the cakes
Where there are twice enough for thee)-
Where can the darling ever be?
He does not taste and storm and pout
To climb the roof III rain and sun,
And pull the pigeons feathers out
10 see how it will look with none,
Or fight the hornets one by one.
He does not hide, and cut his hair,
And wind the watches wrong, and try
TO throw the kitten down the stair
To see how often it can die.
ITS strange that you can wonder why.)
He never wakes too late to know
A bird is singing near his bed;
lie tells the tired moon, "You may so
TO sleep yourself" tie never said,
When told to do thing, "Tell Fred"
Ii l said &c.," he would not stay
10 lose his hat or break toy,
Theu hurry like the wind away,
Ana whsle IKE the wilma lOr Joy,
To please himselt-this Little boy.
Let any stranger come who can,
He vii not say-it it is true
"Old Lady" (or"Old Gentleman'),
IL wish you would 50 home, do;
think my mamma wants You to =
NO, Fairy land is far and dim;
He does not play in silver sand.
But If could believe in him.
lcould believe in Fairy-land,
Because-do You not understand!
Dead? Deall Somehow do not know
The sweetest children die. We may
Miss some poor Footprint from the snow
That was his very own today
"God's wil' is what the Christians say.
Like You, or you, or you can be-,
When you are good, he looks, no doubt
I'd giye-the goldenest star see
In all the dark, to find him out,
The Little Roy dreamed about.

TO LONE.

All day within me, sweet and clear
All night. IN my my hal1-drea@ins ear
hear you singing, singing.
Ere thought takes up its hcmespun thread,
When early morn is breaking,
Sweet snatches hover round my bed,
And cheer me when awaking.
The sunrise brings the melody
I only half remember,
And summer seems to smile for me,
Although it is November.

mel, which is now being bored through
the mountains from towards Goesch-
enen towards Italy, and from Ariolo
towards Germany. The approach to
the tunnel on the Groeschenen side is
in the midst of the widest and most
picturesque scenery. A number of
workshops, sheds, cantine3, and va.
riOus small buildings cluster about the
mouth, and gave to an otherwise wild
spot the busy hum and noise of enter.

whistling of the engine, and hammer.
ing from the blacksmithing is incess.
ant, as the work is continued day and
night by gangs of 1000 men, who,
under NJ. Favre's direction, prosecute
the work. These men have been at
work. in varying numbers, however,
just four years the present month,
and it will take all their energies,
united to the work of those on the
Italian side, to finish the undertaking
by 1880. This, of course, ii the money
does not give out-and there is a good
deal of trouble in securing all that is
needed. At present the entire route is
surveyed from Luzerne and Zurich to
Milan, and parts of it cut. In the
tunnel three and half kilometers
have complicated on the German side,
and about four and half on the Italian.
The tunnel will be ten miles long.
The workmen employed are most all
Italians, and work eight hours out of
twenty-four. Dynamite is used for
blasting, and all the drills are the
ordinary chilled steel. the diamond
drill being unemployed. The usual
machine for driving the drills is EN-.
ployed, and works entirely by means
of compressed air, which is brought
from the reservoir by means of large
iron pipe.

first manufactured in 1888, and it is
safe to assert that no preparation in
the market has so fully stood the test
of time, and been received with such
universal favor as the Gargling Oil.
1t is found in nearly every household
in this country, and is also sold ex-
tensively in Europe. From a very
small beginning the Gargling Oil Com.
pany has been obliged to steadily in.
crease its facilities for manufacturing.
and now employs an army of men, and
occupies magnificent buildings of it's
own. Much of the success of the COM
pany is due to the careful and efficient
management of Mr.. John Hodge, who
for some time has held the response

also proprietor of the Hodge Opera

1t was in the early summer that
Nesta left her old home, and when the
first burst of sorrow was over, she be-.
came interested in the little events of
travel, a new experience in her young
life. -
By the time the train stopped at
Craige Hill her face was once more
composed, and it's noble beauty was
only enhanced by the deep mourning
dress and the expression of sadness in
her large soft eyes. n
Mrs. Green, an elderly lady who re-
ceived her new companion in the sit.
ting.room. was pleased at once with
the lovely face and the gentle dignity
of manner Nesta had possessed from a
child.
She gave her a cordial welcome, and
while dessert was in progress, told her
what her duties would be.

OF course Cousin Mark answered
"No," promptly, and as innocent as a
dove of the trap being laid for him.
''This is my cousin-Mr. Lansing,
Miss Kent" and Mr.. Lansing bowed
politely, and Miss Kent arose, dropped
her scissors, blushed and sat down
again. Cousin Mark picked up the
refractory implements, and then Mrs.
Jennie proceeded, with rare caution
and tact, to her labor Of love. Cousin
Mark, at her request, read aloud an
article from The Popular Science
Monthly, drawing Miss Kent into the
discussion as deftly as was ever fly
drawn into the v eb of the spider.

only queried, ''Do you think s0?' and
that ended it.
Two or three invitations to the sew
ing-room were quite sufficient to make
Cousin Mark perfectly at home there
and after a week he became as famil
lar as this -
''If you are not too busy. should
like to read you this article ;" and this
is what Miss Kent would say -
"Oh, am never too busy to be read
to. Sit down by the window in this
comfortable chair, and let's hear it. >
After couple of weeks, when the
gentleman came in. hoarse with sud
den cold, Miss Kent hustled about, hel
