Matilda Heron nnd Her BJOu

New York World
Her natural eecentricities in
creased notably during the latter
part of her life. She frequently
spoke Of herself as "Poor Tilly.n
Sitting in her room oonyersing with
friends, she would start up suddenly
and electrify her hearers with a
powerful recitation from some old
play which would have evoked
thunders of applause from any au-
dience. When oomplimented upon
her performance, she would say,
alluding to Biiou: "Ah, she is the
future greatest actress in the world.
Wait till you see her, and that will
be when | bring her out" Indeed,
her affection for her child amounted
to a passion; she lived in her and
for her. A few months ago, in a
fit of eccentricity, she conceived
the idea that some one was trying
to separate them. Instantly she
moved from her lodgings and sought
apartments in an obscure part Of
the city, remaining concealed there
for several weeks, while her friendl

were seeking in vain to discover her
whereabouts. For some time past
she had been engaged in law suits
against several actresses for al
legged infringement of her right
to " Camille" some of which are
understood to be still pending.
Bijou Heron is now fifteen years
old, she is slight, graceful and good
looking, but with a prematurely old
and careworn air and manner. This
is due, no doubt, largely to the life
of constant excitement and anxiety
that she has led with her mother.
She is really more womanly than
most women twice her age. Her
friends and those of her mother
are anxious that she shall now re-
tire from the stage for a time and
seek the training and recreation of
other girls of her age, which she
has hitherto lacked, either in a
school or with a family. 1t is not
improbable that this will be done,
and, if it is, Miss Bijou is, in the
opinion Of those who are compe-
tent to judge, destined to great sue
cess az an actress. The means to
enable her to pursue the course
suggested are likely to be raised
either by a benefit performance or
by subscription from professional
friends of Miss Heron, many Of
whom are indebted to her for past
kindnesses.

Ph@nix Cor. Arizona Enterprise.
An amusing story come this week
from the Globe district, which would
seem to indicate that the miners do
not appreciate some of the "culled,
qualified and sent" theologians of
Arizona. GA follower Of the meek
and lowly," whom we will call
Parson Jones, came to this place
some weeks since, and, after preach
ing once to a good audience and
several times to empty benches,
concluded that Phoenix was not a
good place for his labors, and upon
the thought dit" for the Globe.
Soon after his arrival at Globe City
he commenced "panning out" the
gospel to the "boys" In one of the
saloons. After the conclusion of
sermon No. l a good deacon volun-
teered to pass around the hat, to
which the boys contributed the
price of a "Kentucky drink" and
the accommodating deacon, true to
his Christian instincts, chucked in
"a splinter" and then emptied the
contents of the preachers "holy"
"sombrero" on the counter, and
prefaced the benediction with
Come, boys, let's drink to the sue
cess of our pious guest" Of course
an "extra" was raised and the
preacher invited to join, which
(of course) he declined. Some
what disappointed, but not dis
mayed, he returned next night and
preached again, at which time some
inventive "cuss" interrupted the
doxology by declaring that the
preacher had on his coat, and that
he had stolen it from his shanty that
day. The preacher protested his in
nocence, and his accuser as strongly
avowed his guilt. Atlength it was
decided to call jury and try him
on the spot. He was taken into
custody by one of the "boys," and
another gotta jury together and at
length preceded to try the accused.
Testimony was introduced which
tended strongly toward conviction,

wendish women.

II gMllUCt III hdl pCl n1dSaIluO
describes the singular costume of
the women of the Prussian Wends.
The head-dress is made of q single
square piece of linen as white as
snow, and starched with exquisite
art, which is bound about the head,
as one sees it in the picture, by a
second person. 1t stands out on
each side like great fan, but it is
cool, and it hides the hair. This is
another oriental prejudice which
the Wends have preserved-a re-
luctance to expose the hair to the
general gaze. This prejudice does
not extend, however, to the lower
limbs. While the Wendish women,
like ladies of fashion, scrupulously
hide their hair and breast, they ex-
pose their legs with the greatest
composure, up to a point which
would shock the delicacy of a FIVE
year-old girl in Paris or New York.
The venerable grandmother does
not differ in that respect from little
Anna, who for a silver groshen will
give one glass of water and look
into her clear black eyes.
A jacket of black velveteen with
full white sleeves is not enough for
the body; over this, small shawls
of oriental brilliancy are tightly
and neatly pinned. The shawls
are sometimes worn instead of the
white linen on the head, and with
long fringe falling down look very
fantastic and picturesque. In this
dress the prettier girls are fayorite
rodels for artists. The snowy
colors and graceful draperY are, Of
course, more artistic than the stiff
white linen, which rather suggests
the nun. The skirts always make
up in width what they want in
length. They are usually in plain
wooden goods, red, blue, green or
orange, trimmed at the bottom by
a band of black velvet ribbon OF
some plaid stripe. The lining is
of the stiffest crinoline, and the
skirt is reduced to the size of the
waist by ten or twelve rows of reg
ular and iaultless gathering. This,
of course an excellent lady in
forms me - sends the fullness to
the bottom of the skirt, and so
when the Wendish belle walks
rapidly, her skirts are inflated by
the wind like the drapery of a bal
let girl. These dresses lined with
crinoline are worn only on festival
days and on Sundays; for work,
the skirt is quite as short, but
hangs more modestly about the
limbs. There is still another cos
tune, worn by widows and by
communicates at the sacrament.
1t IS made In the same style, only
the colors and material differ. The
skirt is black, and instead of the
heavy linen head-dress a piece Of
thin white null is laid across the
head, with black ribbon to keer
it in place, The face sinks down
into an immense Elizabethan ruff
of the same white material. With
bowed head and clasped prayer.

stage Nonsense.

The object of the drama, accord
ing to Shakspeare's idea, is to "hold
the mirror up to nature"-in other
words, to give correct representa-
tions of human life. But this object
is often lost sight of-so much SO,
that the stage, in many of the plays
presented seems to offer a burlesque
of humanity rather than a true
description of it.
We were speaking to a friend the
other day respecting the. merits of
a celebrated tragedian," !" when we
had occasion to comment on the
rant Of the stage, the loud-mouth-
ing, the outrageous gesture, the
furious rolling of eyes, the stride,
swords that rattle in the hilt, and
all the "pomp and circumstance
of the modern drama. Fancy this
style carried into real life. On
being introduced to a lady, you
would say, throwing yourself into
a splendid attitude:
"Most gracious madam, on my
knees | greet YOU" impressively
placing your right hand upon your
heart.
To a creditor who would not pay:
" Fraudulent knavel payest thou
me not? By yonder sun that blazes
in the zenith, thee will l sue, and
thou shalt see thy impious name
flaming the streets on posters
huge!"
At dinner:
"Now by soul and all my high
est hopes, those beans are royal"
d" Were l Jupiter, beans should
grace each royal banquet. What,
ho F! Waiter, bring hither more
beans !"
To your wife
Madam, beware thou dost ex-
cite me not; else, being too hot
with wrath, l do myself some
harm. A needle here "a button
on my shirt-see it instantly per-
formed. Do it! Nor leave the
task to me-"
To your butcher:
"Thou ensanguined destoyer of
bovines, send me some mutton and
some beef; and, mark youl let it be
tenderer than love, and sweeter
than the bees rare burden. l would
dine to-day"
To friend:
"Excuse rash intrusion on your
grace; but hast thou in thy box a
portion of that plant, ranked by
the botanists among the genius
nicotiana?" Or, +" Most noble
friend, wilt thou partake with me
some strong libation? Thou lookest
dull to-day; twill cheer thy sinking
heart"
Reply: 80 noble soul! alas! not
all the wine Of bacchanalial reyels
would ease the sorrow here!-here
| Left brast struck several times). 0,
what a fool and arrant knave am l,
the very sport of fortune"
This is scarcely more ridiculous
than three-quarters of the stage
nonsense.
