THE IRON CHEST.
Junius Brutus Booths Thrilling
Performance Of sSir Ed
ward Mortimer"

From Lndlow's Dramatic Life.l
On Mr.. Booths return to Peters
burg he commenced his engagement
with Colman's play of the Iron
Chest" in which he performed the
character of "Sir Edward Mortimer
and l had the pleasure of playing with
him his secretary, "Wilford " and
here let me state an effect produced on
me at that time which half a century
has not been able to obliterate, and
that will keep its place while
memory holds a seat in this dis
tracted globe" In the play there is
a scene where Sir Edward attempts
to disclose to MILFORD a secret which
he had kept securely from the world
fer years-a murder for which he had
been tried and acquitted, and at the
trial the course Of justice had been
disturbed by cries of innocent p ere
the verdict had been declared. In
this scene the struggle between his
pride and shame, from the necessity
Of making this youth Wilford-his
secretary, the creature of his bounty
the depository of this astound-
ing secret, was so terrifcally
wrought up and so magniicently pOr-
trayed that | was brought to a stand
still'' upon the stage, in wonderment
of the mans great tragic powers, and
only recovered my se~lf-possessiOu
when MI. Booth said, in an under
tone: go on, go onl" 1 never had
such an effect produced on me by any
other PERSONS acting in the whole
course of my dramatic career. Mr..
Booth had at hat time the finest
stage face l ever met with; its splen-
did contour had not been married by
the breaking of what is commonly
called the bridge of the nose" and
his eyes, of which he made g eat uce
in acting, were brillinnt and expre;siv

Saved His Life.
harrisburg Telegraph, 4th.l

Harrisburg Telegraph, 4th.
The necessity of prompt action in
an emergency, when one is confronted
by sudden danger, was never so forci-
bly, illustrated as in this city yester-
day. From a gentleman who witnessed
the affair we learned the following
facts DR.. Eckart, Of Rockville, ana
a lady we're driving up Third street
about one o'clock, on the way home.
When near Pine street, DR.. Eckart
was suddenly seized with an epileptic
fit of an exceedingly violent nature.
His struggles greatly alarmed his lady
companion, and she called loudly for
help. Seeing DR.. H. i. Stickel on
the pavement, she called him, and
the doctor promptly responded, assist
ing to lift the now unconscious man
out Of the carriage to the pave
ment. DR.. Stickel turned the suf-
ferer on his face that the substance
which was choking him might flow
from his throat, but it did no good.
He then tried to expel it with
his finger and was equally unsuc-
cessful. By this time DR.. Eckart had
grown black in the face and his pulse
was almost stopped. 1t was a case of
life or death, and unless prompt and
heroic measures were taken the mar
could live but a few minutes at the
farthest. Whipping out his pen-knife
DR.. Stickel plunged it into the epilep-
tics throat, cutting a small incision,
through which the air rushed. The
man began to recover immediately
and in a short time was able to be re-
moved to DR.. Sellers office, where he
recovered sufficiently to be taken
home. DR.. Eckart stated that this
was the first attack of epilepsy he has
had in two years. 1t was certainly a
narrow escape for him, and no mar
could tread much closer to the con-
fines of the outer world and come
back to life. DR.. Stickel's presence
Of mind and promptness saved his fell
low-practioner.

As to laughing, says Mr.. Labau-
chere, how seldom, except on the
stage, do we hear a really musical
laugh. Some girls make dreadful
ggimaces when they laugh. A little
education ip the art would not make
their laughter artificial, and they
would surely enjoy it all the more ii
tney could realize that they might in
dulge in mirth without making them
selves look so very csgly as Is occasion
ally the case. 1t runs n families
sometimes to distort the countenSnce
in laughter. l know a family who
laugh a great deal. Their eyes are
always shut up when they do so, and
il is the funniest thing when one dimes
with them and something amusing is
said, to look round the table and see
exactly the same distortion on every

and hugs the sun too closely TO be
seen In the early part of the month,
setting then abOut20 minutes after the
sun. But toward the close of the
month, bright-eyed observers may de-
tect her beaming presence for nearly
a half hour after sunset, and next
month she will be glorious to behold.
She may be looked for about four d.
grees south Of sunset, rising now a few
minutes later han 7:30 at the end of
the month a few minutes after seven.
Mars is evening star, and may be seen
during the early portion of the month,
though so far away and so neal the
sun That he will be lost in view. On
the 10Th there is a close conjunction
between Uranus and Venus, the plan
cts being forty-fve minutes of a de-
gree apart. This phenomenon will
afford a five opportunity to the tele-
scoplc student for study of the CON
trast in planetary %colors, the delicate
tint OF Uranus and the inimitable soft
golden hue Of Venus being beautifully
illustrated. Uranus sets now about
$50, at the end of the month about
sunset. Among the noteworthy
events during the month, the first in
Importance will be the continued
study of elemental disturbance in ter
restrial territories in connection with
sun spots and the grand pull which
mighty Jupiter is exerting upon the
great center of life and light. 1t will
be well also to remember, that his
mass greatly exceeds hal Of all other
planets combined, and that the differ
ence between his equatorial and polar
diameter is 5000 miles or more than
half the whole diameter of the earth.

face. There is not an eye left in the
family. Three sisters whom | know
show quite half an inch of pale pink
gum when they laugh. In their pres.
ence, like Wendell Holiness one never
dares to be as funny as one can" for
fear of seeing this appalling triple
vision of gums. A little training in
childhood would make their laughter
a pleasant thing to look at, for they
have all pretty little square teeth,
very white and even. Ward Beeeher
says, "a good laugh is worth a hun
dred groans in any market" and l am
sure a pretty n is worth a thousand.
