The Art OF Acting.

Mrs. John Drew Of the Philadelphia
Arch Street Theater, speaking of the
simulated emotion Of actors, lately said /:
:" Undoubtedly an actor could grasp a
situation more readily and represent it
more effectively if he had once been in
the same position in real life But how
seldom is this the case Some of the
most inhuman villains | ever knew-on
the stage-are pleasant, mild-mannered
men in private" A listener reminded
Mrs. Drew of Manager Bernard Macau-
ley's criticism of Mary Anderson, that
she "owed her success to her remarka-
BILE beauty and power of portraying
characters and passions which she really
had no idea Of" and might become a
great actress after she had been once in
love. Mrs. Drew responded: "Miss
Anderson's greatest fault is thought by
some members of her profession to be
want Of concentration. They say that
she is capable of turning round in the
middle of an imprisoned scene TO make
some frivolous remark to brother act
or. Mr.. Macauley's argument is good,
but good many examples might be
cited TO prove the contrary Every one
has heard of Miss O'Neil. Forty years
ago, when she was ut the pinnacle of
fame and success, she was not only I'M
married, but her habits and tempera-
ment We're antagonistic TO those natural
10 mother. Yet one of her stron
points was in portraying mother ten
der love and devotion. Mrs. Bateman
has achieved great success in roles re-
quiring nice appreciation of senti-
ments foreign to her nature. Many peo-
pie who have suffered all the pangs of
poverty would be mere sticks if put on
the stage TO act the part of hero or
heroine who was supposed to be suffer-
ing from just such straits. An actor, TO
carry his audience with him, must be
capable of imagining wildly any char
acter he impersonates; actual expert
enee is of no use to him, but imagina-
ton and self-forgetfulness are indis-
pensable."

TennysOn.

The English poet laureate has paid 4
substantial penalty to fame. He has
formally rejected an estate of two thou
sand a year, possession of which is con-
ditional on his change Of name from
Tennyson to Turner His brother some
Years ago came into ownership by in
heritance of the property. and willingly
changed his name for the sake
of the income; and many readers who
have admired the sonnets of the Rev.
Charles Turner are unaware that the
author was brother 10 the bard who sang
the Idyls Of the King. He died in March
last, his wife followed him to the grave
in April, and the property fell to the
laureate, saddled with the stipulation
that he should forswear Tennyson for
Turner He has refused to surrender q
name good for a 50-year Immortality for
obscurity and two thousand year But
Alfred can afford to be magnanimous.
His works bring him in one year with
another, three thousand pounds per an
mum, and he has thousand besides out
of landed property purchased with the
savings of his muse. Then he is very
thrifty, his habits of living being As SIM
pie as those of Carlyle. Both the poet
and the proser consume enormous guam
titles of tobacco, the vehicle being a
plain clay pipe. Tennyson is said TO be
Of 4 penurious bent, and those who de-
clare this Of him affirm that the sacrifice
he has just made for his literary reputa-
ton must have cost him very dear.

Long Telephone Lines.

We learn that it is the intention of the
Bell Telephone Company of this city to
secure telephone connections in a short
time with both Buffalo and Syracuse.
The wires of the new American Union
Telegraph Company which are now be-
ing put up along the line of the Erie
Canal are 10 be used for this purpose.
II will then be possible to talk from
Buffalo TO Syracuse, or vice versa, dis
lance Of about $50 miles. The longest
telephone line in the State to-day is the
line between Hemlock Lake and this
city, but when such line as that pro-
posed between Buffalo, Rochester and
Syracuse is established, that will be the
longest probably in the country. Some
seem TO express doubts of the successful
working Of such ii long line, but we are
informed that a test is to be made in
few days between here and New York
City, the wires Of the new telegraph
company TO be used. We see no reason
why long line like this should not
work As well as short line The line
between this city and Hemlock Lake
works admirably since it was fitted up
with the improved telephones and trans
mitters. and if a line works well dis
lance of 30 miles, why should it not
work just As well 4 distance of several
hundred miles? Ii may be. perhaps,
that the induction of electricity AT the
latter distance will not be so great rs 70
interfere, but the proposed test will soon
settle the matter. At any rate, there is
little question but that Buffalo, Roches-
ter, and Syracuse will soon be united by
telephone. -Rochester Union.

A Caution About Shot i'm Game.

This being the season when game
killed by shooting, and probably con-
tanning the pellets, is eaten, it may be
worth while to caution those who con-
sumo the flesh of birds with avidity that
the proportion of instances in which shot
is found is probably small in COMPARE
son with the number of cases in which
the pellets are unwittingly swallowed.
1t is a matter of speculation how much
mischief a shot may do when passed in
to the intestines, but the fact that anom-
alous diseases have been set up by the
presence of very small bodies which
have become entangled in the folds of
the mucuous membrane renders it de-
sirable to put the public on their guard.
Occasionally the most disastrous results
have followed such small causes. We
have in recollection the case OF a physi-
clan who died after prolonged and I'M
explained sufferings, from the impaction
of very small nail which had found its
way into q pudding, and was inadvert-
entity swallowed. A little care will
avoid this contingency, but, remember
ing that the bird had been shot, some
pains ought certainly to be taken to
avoid swallowing the missile.-LondOn

The very small boy is usually a
staggerer for any philosopher. The
Newark Cal says little Willie Warren
Is a boy of this sort. He is a very small
boy, just beyond the limits of babyhood.
His precociousness is well recognized by
those that know him, and sometimes
people try to corner him in a logical
way. The other day some one took him
up and asked him if he was papa's boy.

thrilling stories OF the farsi dead occa-
sionally turning IN their own bodies
and flesh among the living after their
last remains had been consigned to the
Towers OF Silence. An instance Is re-
lated IN which a male member OF an
Old Parsi family, known IN Bombay as
the Dhunna fateii famly, reappeared
before a female member OF II several
years after his death and claimed her as
his own sister. Not many months ago
complaints We're made IN the local Gu-
larati Journals OF corpse-bearer who
was suspected OF having. with large
IRON shovel, IKE those kept IN the low
ers Of Silence, Drained man, who,
having come to lie some hours after
beng iaid IN the lower, was seen sitting
up on the stone slab wherein his dead
body had been placed. III was stated
that had not the man been
killed merciiessly he might have
sealed the lower WALL ana, es-
Gaping with his life, might have
been restored to his family and friends.
Disguise Is said to be necessary pre-
caution for persons "eome from the
dead, Tor deep-rooted superstition as
socrates their presence among the living
with a sure sign OF an impending public
calamity or an epidemic. Such stories
OF visits from the dead do not, however,
find general credence among the Parsis
OF Bombay. In the Mofussii towns,
where the walls OF the Towers OF Silence
are low, and therefore easily scaled,
where he towers Themselves are Situatp1
at considerable distances from the hab-
ltations OF men and favor the escape OF
any one who might come to life after be-
ing land among the dead, Old gosslps
find free scope for their tongues IN the
narration OF stories similar TO those men,
toned above. We now hear OF case
the particulars of which might be srlffi-
cent Tor a writer OF the sensational
school TO weave chapter OF blood
curdling romance. Eleven years ago
Shapurjee Cahanjeebho was well-to-
do resident of Dehegaum, village
situated at 4 short distance
from Gandevi. A faithful, obedi-
ent wife managed his household
affairs, and the "even tonor OF their
ways = was enlivened by the presence
OF two promising sons. In the course
OF time the sons We're betrothed and
and their circle Of relations
widened- While on visit to Gandevi
ShapurJee was attacked with fever and
died suddenly after an illness Of two
days. HIS wife and relations were pres
ent at the death-bed, the proper relig-
lous ceremonies were hurriedly gone
and his last remains were in the
manner OF Zor0astrians consigned TO
lower OF Silence. His relations
mourned their loss and went to their
own village. Some hours after being
laid in the Tower, Shapurjee is said to
have recovered from a comatose state.

Nor have the eightmilons that have been expended
on the Mississippi, exclusive of the cost OF the jet
ties, been productive of such results as to warrant
the belief that ell the engineering talent OF the
country is to be found In the Engineer Corps OF the
Army. All know that if the views of that corps
had been accepted, the mouth of the river would
never have witnessed the magnificent success that
has attended the plan of improvement proposed

Mr.. Hill calls attention to an Associated Press
dispatch from Chicago, published in The TRIBUNE
of May 20, IN which he feels that injustice was done
him. After referring to the case of Mr.. Potter the
dispatch says "As to the other two lone of whom
was Mr.. Hid, it is claimed that the prosecution
did not produce on this tral the evidence which
was placed before the Grand jury" Mr.. Hill calls
attention to what was said by the counsel for the
prosecution on the motion that the jury be in-
structed 10 declare Messrs. Potter and Hill not

joint operation of the roads. The companies
virtually lease their property to the Manhat-

of the interest on the bonded debt,
and guarantees an annual dividend of 10 per
cent on the combined stock of the two COM
panies. All the stock of the Manhattan Com

present companies. The plan provides for
the equalization of the capital stock. which
will be fixed at $4,000, 900 for each company.
