In one of the boxes was Mary Anderson. I.

in another, Alice Dunning and her hus-

ira were filled with lesser theatrical lights.
In one Of the upstairs boxes. close up to
the railing, aud sitting SO as to face the
audience, was melancholy little chap,
trying hard to look happy, but falling to
do so. He was about as large as one of
the Cbipanzees at the Aquarium, and had
an expression like cake of laundry soap.
The obtrusive attentions of half dozen
elderly ladies made him conspicuous and
also uncomfortable.

1t has been computed by very high
authority on the subject-Prof. Craik Of
Be!fast-that the words cata!ogued in our
dictionaries, exclusive Of the names Of
places, few Danish and Indian words
and the continually |y-increasing scientific
terms from the Greek. amount altogether
to about $4,000; $4,000 being Of Teutonic
extraction, and $4,000 from the Latin OF
French; that Of these $4,000 words only
10000 are employed in ordinary writing,
and 5000 in colloqLia discourse. and that
Of the written words half may be Anglo.
Saxon; of the spoken. three fourths.

DRAMA IN CAL1FoRN1A-At recent
Territorial Pioneers dinner, Mr.. McCasky,
pioneer actor of 40, said:
Our theatres at that time were generally
the dining rooms of hotels. The company
had often to wait at the door until two or
three lingering guests had flushed their
supper before opportunity would be given
US to enter, put up our scenery" and
dress for the performance. However, we

lars was the usual price Of admission. The
pioneer actress of California. to the best of
my knowledge, was Mrs. Bingham. She
was, in some respects, most extraordinary
woman. She could not read, but learned
her lines as her husband read them to her.
Her facility for memorizipg in this man
ner, no matter how long The part, was
wonderful. She was the first white woman
who entered Downieville. The miners had
heard Of her coming and sent deputation
to meet her, while our company was still
couple of miles from the camp. Besides
the regular members Of the troupe, there
was Mrs. Bingham's infant twins, each
swung in basket on either side Of mule.

approached one Of the baskets, and lifting
the cover lid, he gazed moment at the
child, and then remarked:

"Will you allow me to carry it little
whiles"
'Certainly."
And SO he did, and. striding on with the
infant in his arms at the head of the caval-
cade, he constituted himself our avant cou-
rier, and in this way we entered Downie-
Vile.

An interesting paper on earthquakes in
Japan was lately read before the Asia:ic

An interesting paper on earthquakes in
Japan was lately read before the Asia:ic
society Of that country by native savant.
The record Of all earthquakes occurring in
the larger cities Of the empire has been
kept with considerable regularity since the
fifth century Of the Christian era. The
number Of slight shocks is very large, and
that Of disastrous earthquakes is uncom-
fortably great. In fifteen centuries one
hundred and forty nine destructive earth
quakes had been recorded. The recorded
average is one great earthquake in every
ten years, but the nineteenth century gives
one in every five years. Unusually high
temperature and strange atmospheric
changes have been noticed as precursors
Of great terrestrial convulsions, especially
Of the earthquake which desolated Yeddb
in 1855. There have been several earth
quake shocks in the early part of the
present year; one of them, on the morning
Of the 23d of February, lasted fully one
minute, during which period houses rock
ed like ships on an angry sea.

Truth will never die; the stars will grow
dim, the sun will pale his glory, but truth
will be ever young. Integrity, uprightness
honesty, love. goodness, these are all i'm
perishable. No grave can ever entomb
these immortal principles. They have
been in prison, but they have been freer
than before; those who enshrined them in
their hearts have been burned at the stake,
but out of their ashes other witnesses have
arisen. No sea can drown, no storm can
wreck, no abyss can swallow up the ever
lasting trnth. You cannot kill goodness
and integrity, and righteousness; the way
that's consistent with these must be way
everlasting.

nishes some facts and deductions from
analysis, showing the relative nutritive
value Of fruit as compared with other
foods. Taking the average Of the NOR g
common large and small fruits, they con.
tain from four fifhs to nine-tenths water.
They do not rank high for repairing and
building up the human body. An egg,
weighing little over an ounce and half,
and containing ~ grains Of a!buminous
matter, is equivalent in nutritive value to
II ounces of heart cherries, 20 ounces of
grapes, 80 ounces of strawberries, 40
ounces of apples, and 4. pounds of pears.
Heart cherries contain only three fourths
water, and have nearly double the nutri.
tive value Of strawberries, which have
more than nine tenths water. These, we
may remark, are the result Of analysis !;
but in actual use the case may be different,
rs some foods are more readily assimilated
than others, and those which contain lit.
tie nutriment in themselves may strongly
promote the digestion of other substances.
In one respect fruit possesses power Of
preventing disease, when regularly eaten,
which gives it great value. Residents of
newly settled portions Of the country,
when they can have regular supply Of
weIl-ripened fruit, are rarely attacked
with the malarial diseases which so often
prevail in those regions.

A KIND HEARTED OLD MANA young
pianist was giving concerts through the
provinces Of Germany for her'support, and
to enhance her reputation she advertised
herself as pupil of List. In little town

Her fraud would be discovered; she would

TrembIing'y she sought the presence Of
the great maestro, determined to make a
clean breast of it and cast herself on his
mercy. Coming into his room with down
cast eyes, she knelt at the old mans feet,
and with many tears told her story-how
she had been left an orphan, and poor,
with only her one gift Of music with which
to support herself; the difficulties she had
encountered until the fraudulent use of bis
great name had filled her rooms and her
purse. "Wel, WE'LL" said the great man,
gently raising her up, "let US see, my child,
what we can do. Perhaps it is not SO bad
as you thought. There is a piano; let me
hear one Of the pieces you expect to play
to morrow evening"
Trembliugly she obeyed, the maestro
making comments and suggestions as she
played, and when she had finished be ad-
ded, SNOW, my child, l have given you a

she could find words to express her graft
