have just heard first rate story of Eben
Plympton, who played at the Broadway, last
week, in ''The Exiles.'' Eben will be re-
membered as the young chap who Travelled
with Miss Nelson, as her ''suppor1.'' during
her last starring tour through this country.
He IS little fellow, physically, and, when he
first went on the stage, a few years ago. he
was one Of the greenest specimens ever SEEN
An actor who was in the company with him
that season tells me that Plympton was the
butt of all the jokes played in the theatre
One day he was cast for an sold mana
minor character IN the piece about to be pro-
duced. During the evening one of the male
members of the company, seeing an oppor-
tun1ty to play harmless joke, began to
| question the novice about his new part.
Plympton was delighted at the notice taken
of him, and commenced at once to expatiate
upon the merits of the character.
san old man, should iudge,n observed
| the waggish actor.
.'Precisely; and hope to score hit in it.
If can only make up SO as to look old
enough
"Ah, yes. By the way,-er-what are you
going to do for wrinkes?''
'W rlnkles? Wrinkles? Why THAT is
thought of marking them on my face with
brush

will serve very we'll for amateur theatricals.
but they aren't worth a d-n for a real
theatre. You want the regular thing-im-
ported
SIS that SO? Do they make wrinkles for
the stage? Where can buy some?''
''Well. don't know about that They are
very difficult to get, and you may have some
dii1l-but stay. Charley, the leading
man, has whole gross of them. saw him
examining them this morning. Now Charley
Is very accommodating fellow, SO suppose
you go up to his room and ask him for few.
I'm sure he will lend them to YOU
Plympton jumped at the bait like drown
ing man at a straw. He rushed up to the
actors dressing room and burst in upon him
with enthusiasm.
Mr.. - sent me up here to ask if you
wouldn't be SO kind as to loan me some of
your new wrinkles to wear in that part, to-
morrow night"
wrinkles? What wrinkles? asked the
leading man in some doubt as to Eben's
sanity. But his mind was quickly set at rest
by what followed.
"Why, those imported wrinkles you had
this morning"
.'Oh!'' said the leading man. as a light
broke in upon hia. ~ loaned them to Mr..
~ the COMEDIAN But he will let you
have some, if you ask him.
And SO poor Eben was sent from one to
another. all over the theatre. in quest of
those wrinkles, until finally one of the ladies
took pity upon him and "gave it away But
he failed to absorb wisdom from this sort of
treatment. and, during his first season on the
stage, he was subjected to all kinds of prac-
tical jokes. However, the experience with
the wrinkles was valuable to him afterward,
for he was about the only man in the coun-
try who was not sold by the tom Collins''
lnfamy. He had "been there',' and wasn't
to be nipped. IrHUR1E1.

Poor Bret Harte! But few short years
ago he was bright light among the younger
generation of literary men in America. His
future seemed to be full of promise. APP
plause greeted him on all sides. Men who
had toiled long in the vineyard looked with
envy on this brilliant reputation, that had
been made as it were in night. Now all is
over. Poor Bret has been grinding out
spot boilers'' for time, and has thus kept
his name from total oblivion. But even this
has come to an end. He is about to bury
himself in a grave prepared for him by the
de facto Secretary of State, Evarts, who has
put at his disposition a consular agency at
Crefeldt, Prussia, with salary of $4,000 q
year. Let us unite in shedding tear over
all that remains of Bret Harte. Requiescat
in pace. Amen.

:'G1NGER'' writes to the Chicago Tribune

good deal upon what paper it is. If it is a

derives very much pleasure and profitable
instruction from reading it. He picks it up
with sense of expectation and enjoyment.
First he glances over the heads of the vari-
GUS articles, and takes in the general :situa-
ton, SO to speak. Experience has taught
him to tell very readily what article will
prove to be Of greatest interest to hirself.
From that he goes to subjects of lesser at

has been thoroughly perused- Then he says
"Good paper. the GLOBE" after which he

ally declaring the township aid act

bonds issued under that act we're con

why did tie legislature in the revenue
act Of April 28, 1877, require town
ship bonds to be returned in the lists
OF taxable property. The act which
tae LEDGER refers to certainly does
require township bonds to be return
ed the enumeration Of taxable arti-
cles Ia section 8 specifies san aggre-
gate statement Of ali solvent bonds,
whether state, county, town, city,
township, incorporated or ~unincorpo-

bonds were included, we cannot con-
lecture unless for the purpose Of @in-
bracing other than railroad bonds
MS for example, bonds issued bytown-

WHAT THE MICROSCOPE RE-
VEAES.

Mould is a forest of beautiful trees,
with the branches, leaves and fruit.
Butterflies are fully feathered.
Hairs are hollow tubes.
The surface of our bodies is cover
ed with scales like a fish; a single
grain of sand would cover one hun
dred and fifty of these scales, and yet
a single scale covers five hundred
pores. Through these narrow OPEN
ings perspiration forces itself like
water through a sieve.
Each drop of stagnant water contains
a world of living creatures, swimming
as much at liberty as whales in the
sea.
Each leaf has a colony of insects
grazing on it like \ cow in a meadow
