Rotten-Egging an Actr ess.

The rare spectacle of an actress being
-egged was witnessed last night at
Walnut-Street Theatre, where the @. L.
Graves Combination occupy the boards
with the -Four Seasons" During the
third act, while George Parker, as Susan
Sweetapple, Yankee dairy maid, was
singing song, an egg in an advanced
state of decomposition whizzed over the
pit from the west side of the top gallery
and came to grief against canvas PAL
metto tree, few feet from Miss Parker.
The audience were startled for the mo-
ment, and the actress changed color, but
did not falter in her song. Half minute
later another egg, similarly disabled, was
thrown upon the stage from the east side
of the top gallery. The actress was in
tensely mortified, and finished her song
with great difficulty, and in high state
of excitement. The audience showed
much displeasure at the deliberate insult
to the lady, and applauded her to the
echo-so much so that she was compelled
to respond 20 an encore. In the mean.
time ushers from all parts Of the house
had gathered to the quarter from whence
the eggs had been flung, and q man was
seen endeayoring to secrete an egg in hii
coat pocket. The fellow was pouncet

he was given into the custody of police

The Russian steppes.


Along the Volga Don Railway one sees
in all its fu1lness what the Russians ex-
pressively call the "bad steppe"-a
boundless waste of desolate gray moor
land, without warmth, without color,
life. Under the cheerless dimness OF
stormy evening there are few sights more
gloomy and terrible than the silent, eter-
nal desolation OF this immeasurable soii-
tude, amid which the clank and whistle
Of the passing train sounds strange and

catch sight of the Jagged black line that
marks the position OF the rocky heights
which overlook the still hidden waters OF
the Don; but the famous river itself Is .
little more cheerful than its ghostly yes

Brushing Away Gossip.

Rev. Rowland Hill was o jealous
though eccentric clergyman. He had a
large fund of humor, and frequently
drew upon it, in order to ''point moral
or adorn tale" On one occasion,
while visiting friend in the country,
the conversation degenerated into idle
gossip, and the characters of several
friends and acquaintances were severely
reviewed.
Mr. Hill was much annoyed, but he
remained silent until there was JUL in
the tattling. Then he rose and rang the
bell. The servant appeared.
"Have you hearth-brush and dust
pan handy?" said MIR. Hill.
"Yes, sir, replied the servant, won
dering, rs did the family and guests,
what the eccentric clergyman could be
thinking Of,
81 wish you would let me have them
for few moments"
Wheu they were brought to him he
began brushing the carpet.
"a prodigious quantity of dust and
dirt has been scattered this evening"" he
remarked, as he brushed away" and ]
think it had better be removed
The hint thus picturesquely conveyed
was taken. During the remainder of the
evening the conversation was more
becoming to Christian ladies and gentle
men.

Recently two OF Mr.. Duffy : aeieh bsrs
determined to abdnct pet calf beionriur
TO that gentleman, and Mr.. DUFFY became
aware of their scheme; thefeforo he
quietly removed the calf from The box
stall in which it was confined. and il Tie
place OF it introduced goat Of William
gender, and Of vicious disposition. He
also liked spring on the deer of tba
stall that would cause IL to close unless
held open, and he also attached to tbe
door spring lock that would fasten. and
could only be unfastened from tho ont
side.
Then he went to bed, but not to sleep.
1t was at that vitching hour OF mid
night that two marsuders entered Mr.
Duffy's barn.
They had examined the premises the
day before, and knew exactly where
to go.
Each of them carried dark lantern.
They entered the stall and the door
closed behind them. Everything pss
still. -
One of them opened the slide TO ii.
lantern. and tllsn there wss aIaktsf ~
boots, and the man with . lantern found
himself piled up in corner, very much
surprised
He thought it was the queerezt calf be
ever met.
The other man opened the aide to his
lantern to see what the matter WAS.
The next instant the breath went out
of him with 6 yah that made the
listening Duffy laugh all oyer.
Then all was still again, except the
faint profanity Of the men.
Finally the man who was hit first re-
covered enough to paw around and dnd
his lantern.
1t was extinguished, bat he got out 3
match and Lit It again.
Then be turned the bulls ere toward
the goat, and then he went into the cor
ner again.
The goats blood being aroused. he
didn't wait for further lights but began
to butt around promiscnously, snd The
robbers concluded to get ont.
But that didn't prove SO easily done.
Then they began to yell for help. and
Mr.. Duffy couldn't tell where the goat
hit them, because instead CT yelling
"Helpi'' they cried '.OhF' and after be
had laughed till his sides aehed he
went and let them out on condition they
wouldn't try to carry away the goat.
