Miss Anne Dickinson.

I his young lady finds that her life as an act
ress is not all sunshine. She had prepared q
play called 1.-The Crown of Thorns" 10 which
Anne Boeyn was the heroine. This she acted
in Boston with what she regarded us encOurug-
ing success. Then she acted twelve nights IN
New ! FORK. the average receipts being S243.70
night. This is declared by the manager COM
plete financial failure On the six evening
she made speech. in which she made known
her sorrows. She began by saying. Anne
Dickinson scarcely knows herself tonight before
you. Canddly and honestly. | really know of
no more utterly wronged and oppressed person,
10 some respects, than the woman who stands
before you. When made my first appearance
on the stage at Boston, 5000 persons were there
10 meet me-"
Every little while Miss Dickinson read ex-
tracts from newspaper criticisms. which she call
ed - deliberate falstcatIons Going to Boston
she had four rehearsals and went through un-
numbered fluctuations She goes on to say, +" |
have the name Of being very strong woman of
curing very little what is said OF thought of me
was then in Boston. in an entirely new piece,
an entirely uniried role; so worn with study so
utterly miserable. that in the two weeks | had
been there | lost seventeen pounds in weight
was without food because | could not swallow it,
without sleep because | could not gain it for
more than seventy hours"
Thus she goes upon the stage. As the play
Proceeded she was doubtful about success. But
when the curtain fell on the third act with 1000
people appluuding. standing. with trimming
voices. 10 call me before the curtain FIVE success.
sive times with shouts and outcries, sad, This
is success T.
Poor Miss Dickinson While great ma
lority OF the critics pronounced her play aud her
ecting success. few were so unjust aud unfeel-
ing as to pronounce it failure and the minority
seem to have the greater influence What is TO
be done ? Don't read what the New York
papers say, and then sit in Judgment on her
work but give Anna Dickinson u chance with
her own work, go and hear aud see it, aud then
it you condemn Anna Dickinson, she has not
one word to say" Thus closes Miss Dicken-
sons speech.
Before going on the stage, Miss Dickinson
had obtained considerable celebrity IN lecturing.
Her first speech was altogether unprecedented
She was present at a meeting when an old man
gave utterance to such sentiments US filed the
soul of Miss Dickinson with Indignation Sac
could not remain silent. She arose and poured
out such g torrent of invective as well nigh ami
hlated the old man. He crInged and evidently
wished to sink into the earth, but made no re-
ply. She is well informed, and her power Of
language is remarkable. She has lectured on
various subjects in many places and to large au-
diences. Lectnring is her forte but like many
Others, she did not let well enough" alone
Aspiring to rival Shakespeare aud Garrick she
has brought upon herself much suffering and
sorrow

In a OuandarY.

The other night about ten O'Clock a
policeman, passing along Larned street
east, came upon boy who was walking
up and down in front of house, and,
when the lad was asked if he lived there
and why he did not go in, he replied:
:" Dads waiting for me with a whip
3" Going to dust your jacket, is he?"
g That's the programme" sighed the
boy, unless can think up something
to unfasten his mind from the subject.
If could rush in and tell him a big fire
was raging down town, or that the
mayor was dead, or some such thing,
he'd be taken by surprise and forget all
about dressing me down" And you
can't think of anything elseH'' Not a
thing I wish the old gent was in the
habit of stealing his wood, getting into
the House of Correction, or doing some
thing that would give me hold on him,
but he's straighter than an aldernaan's
elbow - ''sF +-t- On &. "a. -aa . -.a

The Mound Builders.

This seems to be the day of exhuma-
tions in the new world Cor what used to
be called that, as we'll as the old world.
We have already noted some important
discoveries in the western mounds One
of the latest reported in Iowa is that of
two stone tablets, containing pictorial
representations and diagrams, appar-
emily of an astronomical character
They are yet to undergo the examination
by experts, who alone can pronounce
upon their value. Still later, as we
learn from a Nevada paper, mounds in
Payson, Utah Territory, have been OPEN
ed, from which have been taken human
skeleton six feet six inches high. In
the right hand was huge iron or steel
weapon, which had been buried with
the body, but which cnumbled to pieces
on handling. Another skeleton, that of
a woman, had at its head neatly carved
tombstone. Houses were found in the
mounds, the rooms being nicely plaster
ed, some in white, others in red color.
Crockery, cooking utensils, vases and
millstones were taken out, with many
other curiosities, including, last spring,
several grains Of wheat, which grew last
summer and proved to be unlike any
other now growing in this country. slai

The Goddess of the DishclOth.

But let us come down to modern times,
and speak of the hired girl of the nine
teenth century. The queen of Sheba
would have died of envy if she had at
tempted to show off around the modern
goddess of the dishcloth. Years of ex-
perience has given us thorough under
standing of her. Our family has had the
honor of entertaining 1886 of her. AS
we close our eyes we can see them come
and go in a mighty caravan, laden with
bandboxes, and what ,silyerware they
could carry away. ,rf. e.... 49,,
There was Betsy. She was the one
that forgot to pick the chicken before
she fricaseed il. Betsy was the one with
blue eyes and red hair. Betsy's hair was
rather coarse, but when it was we'll but
tered it did not taste bad. We have
eaten a great deal of Betsy's hair, and it
never hurt us any yet.
Then there was Marier. The way that
Marier used to bang the dishes around
when any of the household were impu-
dent enough to ask her if dinner was
most ready, was a caution. Marier had
q beau, and over there in the corner is
the bears oil grease spot frescoed on the
wall, where they used to lean their heads
when they used tospark, before the beau
knot of holy wedlock was tied between
them.
Julia was one that always skinned the
cream off the pans and ate it, but her

Spring Safety Valves.

The advantages of springs for loading
safety valves upon marine boilers, in
stead of dead weights, are strongly urged
by Mr.. Robson upon English engineers.
From the results of experiments, it APP
peared that the accumulation Of pressure
was nearly the same in both forms Of
loading. In one experiment., where the
adjusted pressure was in both Instances
thirty-fye pounds, the accumulated
pressure with the dead weight was forty
six pounds, and, with the spring balance,
just one pound more. Having applied
the spring-loaded valve to large num-
Der of sea-going vessels, fitted with sew
enty-six valves, and found them in
every case to give satisfaction, Mr.. R. de-
clares himself altogether in favor Of that
kind Of arrangement, as, among other
good points that may be mentioned, it
does away with the escape Of steam
which takes place with the weighted
valve, IN a sea-way, due to the roll Of the
vessel

conscience didn't seem to smite her. In
deed Julia was very poor and couldn't
afford conscience
Helen was one of the seven sleepers.
We seldom called her by her surname,
but the old man who used to stand at
the foot Of the stairs and spend half an
hour each morning in calling her was al
ways particular about addressing her by
her full name, and he used to call her
Dambnashun. Even now we can mag
inc we hear him saying to her imploring-
ly, Helen Dambnashun why don't you
get up"'
Then there was Sary Ann. She had
but one favorable popularity. She
could fry potatoes to perfection. Matri-
mony carried Sary Ann off very sudden
ly, and she now has little family of
seven girls and they are all children off
the old block, slices off the old potato as
it were. They are all talented, cultured
potato fryers.
These are some Of them. The names
the rest are legion. A row of their old
shoes in the garnet stand as monuments
to them, and we shall never forget them.
They were a race of tyrants but still we
revere their memory, and occasionally,
when the wife is not around, we kiss the
present hired girl for their sakes.

4 Wedding Ring Lost at the Altar.

; An amusing incident occurred at Stoke
Church, Davenport, in England, the
other morning. The Rev. ]. De Cour-
aelles, the curate, was officiating at a
wedding, and when he asked for the ring
it was missing. The bridegroom declared
that the bride had it; the bride said the
contrary. The service was stopped; both
turned out their pockets, and meanwhile,
the bridegroom rated the bride somewhat
soundly for her alleged carelessness,
while the bride persisted that she had
given the ring previously to the bride
groom, and that he must have lost it..
Mr.. De Courcelles had no ring on, nor
had any one in the church, and bride and
bridegroom departed to the church porch
the one grumbling and the other scold-
ing-to look for the missing link At
length, it struck the clerk that a small
ring attached to his watch-guard, on
which hung a locket, might be detached
and lent for the occasion. 1t was very
small, but it just went on the orthodox
finger, and the clergyman, there, returned
to the altar, and the two were made man
and wife. Directly they were married,
however, the railing commenced again,
and continued until the ring was found
in the bowl of a pipe that was in the
mans pocket. 5a#.0 5s- aG 4.

No Luck.

LIE Figaro tells a neat story of the
last days Of the Homburg gaming-tables
A German officer paid visit to the
trente-et-quarante table one day, and be
ginning with very small stake, happen
ed to light upon a series by which he
won $4,000 in half an hour The
veteran gamblers predicted that he would
be tempted back to try his fortune, but
day after day passed without his entering
the casino. At the end of three months
his regiment having received orders to
march, on the following morning
he sauntered into the room, and
taking a double form from his
pocket, staked it on the black and
lost. All the gamblers expected that he
would double the stake and in the course
Of an hour lose all that he had won when
he was there before But he turned on
his heel and walked ont of the room,
muttering, Il never have any luck at
this game 20.

Hidden Beauty.

Burleigh's n. Y. Letter to the Boston Journal.
Mr.. Winans secured whole square in
Baltimore, Maryland, on which he built
an elegant house. He laid his grounds
out in fine taste, and filled them with
statuary and ornaments, which he threw
open to the public. A lot in the neigh
borhood was considered very desirable,
and many fine residences were put up.
Some of the fools in the neighborhood,
not being accustomed to unrobed statu-
airy, made complaint against Mr.. Win
ans for indecent exposure. Mr.. Winans
said nothing, but went to work and built
a strong, close wall of brick, high enough
and strong enough for a penitentiary,
which turned the whole Of the delightful
neighborhood into deformity. The
wall remains standing to this day. s

A Printers Woes.

A writer fully accounts for the reason
why printers die young, and why they
are continually tramping from place to
place in search of piece and quietude.
He says that working for forty editors
and scores of authors, every one of whom
is as sensitive as a sore thumb, and as
lively and interesting as a hornet, no
wonder the printers die when young, and
only pachdermatoes, grizzly, mulish
specimens get their share of life. The
writer wishes he could offer himself as an
awful example Of the perils which en-
viron the man who NEEDLES with cold
type. A thoroughly trained printer
should have stepmother, and then a
stepfather, and then have been bound
out to tanner, and then have married
a scolding wife and lived in smoky
house. and have had family of chill
dren who were afflicted with the collie
He should have added to all the disci-
pIine thorough knowledge of science
and law, languages, theology, history
and biography. If in addition he has
vicious looking countenance and an
amiable disposition he may stand some
chance with these authors and editors;
but, the probabilities are, after all,
that they Will worry him to death. This
picture will have very depressing effect
upon ambitious boys who are anxious to
learn the cart preventative OF arts"
The picture, however, is tolerably cor

Bent 0 er the leaf-strewn fragrant WAYS;

Their brilliant bloom confused the mind:

For something of a purer kind.
A bush OF roses, full and grand,
Held me to view its burden sweet
While an unseen but blessed hand
Laid fair offering at my feet!
Soft trailing buds half hid in green,
With glistening jewels overwrought-
The beauty that my mind had seen,
The pureness that my heart had sought
Fresh water lilies dainty white,
All cleaning through veil of dew;
They seemed vision to my sight,
Yet breathed a language that knew
Through many day these lilies bright
Have waited fragrance Ger my way;
And in the darkness Of the night
Their whiteness makes it yet seem day
Oh, may the hand that gave them me
Be ever laid on what is fair, ..,.
And seeking naught but purity,
Yet be alert to do, and dare!
And may the lilies OF this life
Within its reach forever bloom,

Revival of the Suffice.

When the Prince of Wales was in India
one of his most elaborate entertainers
was Sir Jung Bahodoor, the Prince of
Nepaul. This gentleman has just died,
and three of his widows have revived the
ancient practice of suffice, by burning
themselves with his remains ON a funeral
pyre. In those parts of India governed
directly by Englishmen, suffice has been
completely suppressed, but Nepaul is one
of the semi-independent States where the
ancient code, in many respects, holds
sway. Sir jung died while at his devo-
tions, and his wives resolved to seek the
highest consolation. They piled the pyre
with sandal-wood, the first lady took the
head of the corpse between her knees,
and the others sat around it, while the
chief mourner lighted the pile. This
custom is said to take its rise from mis-
translation of the sacred Vedas, but it
must be pretty old one, for the first
historic instance of it precedes the Chris
tian era by three centuries. 1t was sup
ported by the Brahmins, as an easy way
of settling questions of dover. The
present recurrence of it is 50 shocking to
the British people that it is likely to
prove the occasion of more supervision of
states like Nepaul. ........ .........saT
