before any one could stop him he pulled
back the curtain, climbed over the foot

Boleno, the clown, never evoked
neartler merriment than that caused by

piece paul JONES'" It was at Sadler,s
Wells Theatre, soon after the ''real water.n
Tor which that house was long famous.
had given place to the conventional can
vas sea with its wave-rolling boys under
meath. The last scene represented the
ocean, bearing on Its expanse of waters
two ships preparing for action. The
waves rolled as the boys bobbed up and
down, and all would have gone well had
not Master Harry discovered small hole
In the canvas above him.
Into this hole he put two fingers, in
tending to take peep at the front of the
house. The rotten stuff gave way; the
waters of the Atlantic divided, and dis
closed small head besmeared with blue
paint-the result of friction against the
painted cloth. Catching sight of this,
young Joe Grimaldi, who was the cap
tain in command of one of the vessels,
called out, Man overboardn' when the
stage-carpenter shook his fist at the ap-
palled offender, causing the luckless
yourg rascal to disappear from view, and
bob with such ylgor at a remote distance
that sudden storm seemed to have
broken over the ocean far away.
An American critic, disguised with
the mob in "Julius Caesar" when the
play was acted lately at Booths Theatre,
because they showed no discrimination,
cheering the meanest soldier walking in
procession, while they let Caesar and An
thony go by unrecognized, insists upon
the supernumeraries being better taught.
1t is certainly the duty of the stage man
ager to see that they are properly in
structed, but it is no use to ask too much
of them; like the actor-manager who
called upon his supers to assume an oily
smile of truculent defiance; and the au-
thor of "Jeanne d Arc" who, in his
stage directions, requires the representa-
tiVes Of the English spectators at the pro-
session to the pyre to give vent to buzz
and murlnur Of hatred and exultation;
and the representatives of the Amazon's
countrymen to express their feelings in a
buzz and mur.nur of love, pity and SYM
pathy. Such exacting gentlemen remind
one of the French manager who fined
one OF the supernumeranes engaged in
:" Paul ct Virginie " for not making him
self black enough, and afterward discov-
cred that the man he had fined was a
negro born.

Instinct in Birds.

Prof. W. X. Brooks writes it st. Mich
ozas for July: No subject connected
with the history of the birds furnishes
more interesting material for study than
that Of instinct. Young birds Of differ.
ent species show that they have very diff
ferent degrees of instructive knowledge
Some are able to take entire care OF
themselves, and do not need a mother tc
watch over them; others, on the contrary
are perfectly helpless, and need teaching
before they can do anything for them
selves, except breathe, and swallow what
is put into their mouths. The young
chicken. a short time after 1T leaves the
egg, knows how to take care of itself near
ly as we'll as does the year old bird. Il
can run after It's mother, use its eyes, pick
up food, and answer the call of the old
hen; and it does ali this without instruc
ton. How different it is in all respects
from the young barn-swallow! This is
blind and unable to run, or even stand
knowing only enough to open its mouh
when it hears the old bird return to its
nest, and to swallow the food placed in
to it's open bill. Far from knowing by
instinct how to use its wings, as the
young chick does its legs, it does not
learn this until well grown, and has had
several lessons in flying: and even then
it flies badly, and improves only after
long practice. After it has learned to
fly, it is still very helpless and baby
like, and very different from the
brig ht-eyed, independent like chick OF
the barn-Yard and, indeed the young o
all the Rasores, or scratching birds, such
as the hen, the quail, the partridge, the
pheasant and the turkey.
The scratching birds are not the only
ones which take care Of themselves at an
early age. This is true Of the running
birds, such as the ostrich; and the same
is the case with many of the wading
birds, such as the wookcock; and among

Nature.

As a fond mother, when the day is DER,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leaves his broken playthings ON the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Not wholly reas sured and comforted
BY prom ses Of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not please
him more,
SO Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the
hand
Leads US to restso gently, that we go,
Scarce knowing if we wish to 90 or STAY,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends che what We
know

A Love Story.

She sat upon the parlor lounge,
And William he sat by her,
And neither spake a single word,
But both gazed in the fire
At last he clasped her dimpled hand,
And told her of his love,
And swore that he'd be true to her,
BY moon and stars above.
He said he could not live without
Before he could say more
The father came, and with club
Enticed him out the door.

The opinion seems to prevail in
some quarters that the resumption OF
specie payments means the substitu
ton Of gold for greenbacks and the
retirement and cancellation OF the
latter. This Is entirely erroneous.
Resumption simply means placing
greenbacks on an absolute equality
with gold by making them converti-
BILE into gold on demand. 1t will not
diminish the volume OF greenbacks a
single dollar, but, on the contrary,
will largely increase the volume OF
the currency by calling into circula-
ton about two hundred million dol

But we are told that this policy
of returning to specie payments is
wrong, and ought TO be abandoned.
That the government has the power
to create money Of paper. which shall
be perpetual and absolute money
without any payment or redemption,
that it ought to cut loose from the
specie basis entirely, make its own
paper full legal tender for all debts
public and private, and issue 1t in
sufficient quantities to supply the
wants of trade. That, with this fiat
money it ought to pay off the bonded
debt, and never issue any more bonds
for any purpose. And those who ad-
vocate this theory call themselves the
National Greenback party, and ask
to have the control of the govern
ment put into their hands.
In examining this theory the first
thing which attracts our attention is:
That it is party sailing under false
colors. 1t is not a greenback party
at all. The greenback bears on its
face a promise OF payment, its re-
demption is promised in the law
authorizing its issue, and all depart
ments OF the government concur in
declaring it representative OF the
coin it promises. In the Supreme
Court cases Chief Justice Chase ex-
pressly says. ut is not an attempt
to coin money out of paper. The
dollar note is an engagement to pay a
dollar. and the dollar intended is the
coined dollar of the United States, a
certain quantity in weight and fine
nees of gold or silver, autheRticated as
such by the stamp Of the govern
ment. Said Justice Strong; I'VE do
notrest their validity upon the asser-
ton that their emission is coinage,
or any regulation Of the value OF
money; nor do We assert that con-
gress may make anything which has
no value money" Says Justice Brad
ley: "II is a promise by the govern
ment to pay dollars; it is not an at
tempt to make dollars. The standard
of value is not changed" The green
back, therefore, is not "fiat money
but government note promising to
pay money. It's value is in its prom
Use, and this promise is honestly
borne on its face. Now, it is propo-
sed to destroy this greenback, which

thing wholly different in form and in

test against this attempt to steal {

There is but one greenback party il
the country, the party which issued
the greenback, and stood by it wher
il was denounced; the party which

as TO tho amount OF seven thirty

s.odiously concesling from their
readers the fact that only one Of the

was ever made legal tender. By con-
cealing this fact they make their
readers believe that the volume of

$500. OOO. 900 greater than it really
was. Neither Of the papers referred
