for the first time probably, wrestling with the
English version of the play and hampered by
the want OF q perfect acquaintance with our
nevertheless one OF the finest impersonations
that we have seen on our stage this season.
Evidently trained at a severe school of elo-
cution, she possesses In an eminent degree
the art OF nursing her voice and gradually in
tensifying its tones in a manner to produce
grand and striking effects; tones which pene-
trate the soul, and such as we have seldom (of
late) been able to detect in reputed emotional
actresses. She speaks not only to the ntelli-
Bence, DuU CnT1llS the nedrt as well. Her
acting was accurate and grand, the curse

Miss Stamwitz is young and has plenty of
time before her to master the English Ian

A Joke That Missed Fire.

Cooley's Oldest boy is d little too fond
of playing practicle Jokes. The other
evening, he Went up into the third story
back room. in which the hired man sleeps,
and fixing piece of stout Irvine to the
bed clothes, he ran it down stairs into his
own room, with the intent to remove the
cover from the hired man as soon as that
individual got into bed
The Cooley's had just taken down their
winter stove, and they had the parlor stove
standing temporarily at the head of the
third story stairs.
The man discovered the string just as
ne was retiring, and comprehending the
motive OF the intended trick. he quietly
united it, and fastened it to the stove.
The boy, meantime, had gone to bed,
and forgotten about the string. But
ABOUT 10 o'clock, Mr. Cooley, who was ND
stairs getting apples in the garnet, caught
his foot IN the string as he was coming
down the steps.
He fell, and pulled the stove after
him, and the next moment, Cooley, a pan
OF apples, and about forty pieces of
stove pipe, aud brick Inning were rafting
down stairs with noise like a volley Of
musketry.
AS Cooley lay on the landing, with
pile of apples and cast iron heaped upon
him, Mrs. Cooley, and the boy and the
servants came running out to ascertain.
what on earth was the matter.
AS they approached, Cooley said:
Terrible wasn't it? Awfullest earth
quake we ever had in this countryn'

Didn't feel it, exclaimed Cooley.
! taking a stove leg out of his shirt collar
and brushing the SCOT from his clothes
| "didn't feel it? Why my gracious the
house rocked like cradle I thought
| she'd go clear over every minute. It's
the worst shock | ever felt. Sent me
skipping down stairs, with things a-rat-
ting after nue., till l thought the roof had
bursted in. There's something queer
about these natural commissions The
scientific men say that the shake always
moves in waves from east to west, so that
fit comes from the -"aello.'' what's
this?' exclaimed Cooley, discovering the
Irvine wrapped around his leg. Who tied
that string to that there stove2r
AS ne looked around lnqulrlngly, he
observed his Oldest boy suddenly mount
! upon the banister and glide swiftly down
to the first floor, where he stood waiting
for an offensive moment on the part Of his
father.
Then Cooley leaned over the railing,
and, shaking his fist at him, said:
''You wicked little scoundrel! If you
amt candidate for the gallows, I'm no
Judge. You come here and 60 to bed,
tomorrow morning I'll tan your hide for
you with bed Stat You mind me!
III give you enough earthquake to make
you dance from here to the equator, you
tow headed outcast!''
Then the family went to bed, and the
boy crept softly up the kitchen stairs,
thinking there was not much fun in such
jokes anyhow.
