TWO PRACTICAL JOKES.

The Troy Times tells the following good
story about two prominent actors Florence
and Sothern were playing in st. Louis not
long ago at different theaters, and as both
are practical jokers, the boys who knew
them were on the qui vive for right down
good laugh and they had it, and SO had
great many others beside. 1t was last
Saturday night, as the Globe Democrat tells
the story, while Sothern was CONFUSING
mis- audience by telling how he escaped
being married to girl by getting up later
than the other fellow, when Billy Florence
rushed wildly upon the stage in his
" Mighty Dollar" rig, and grasping
" Excuse me, old boy, but Pm in
a hurry" and in an instant darted
out. Sothern was unable to collect
himself the audience, who knew Billy
Florence was playing at Pope's, nearly
dozen blocks away, wondered first, and
burst into the most rapturous and enthu-
siastic applause afterward. Lord Dun
dreary and the other actors were so de-
moralized, and the house was in such an
uproar, that the play was forgotten. Cries
OF Florence =" rang from all parts of the
house. Dundreary regained sufficient
consciousness to hurry after the flying men,
Der from Cohosh Georgiana left the
stage; everybody before and behind the
stage was looking for the practical joker,
but Florence had jumped into hack at
the stage entrance and vanished like a
dream. The play was proceeded with
without ringing down the curtain, after an
intermission of about ten minutes. Flor
ence reached Pope's in time to resume
his part in the play, and was laughing to
himself at the manner he had played it on
Sothern. lie was never 50 happy, and his
audience thought he was never so funny
but just as he was making love to Mrs.
Gilhory, there walked, or rather skipped,
upon the stage the eccentric Dundreary.
In minute Billy was an incarnate ghost,
and during the rest of the interval he
was the 'purtiest corpse" an admiring CO.
tere of friends ever gloated over. Mrs. Gil
hory threw her hands and eyes up toward
the particular portion of ceiling from which
the shades of General G.. are supposed to
look down upon her, and was lost in a
whirl of amazement. The audience greeted
Dundreary With a hurricane of applause,
and shouted and shrieked and whistled
until it seemed as if the top story
of pandemonium had been torn off and
every noise of the neither region had
rushed out through the opening. Lord
Dundreary advanced amid all this uI.
roar, and told the exquisitely funny story
about the dog and the rabbit. The audi
ence laughed at it with even greater vehe-
mence than usual, but Bardwell Slote
did not laugh. 1t was not his place to
laugh, you know. Stage Manager Henry
Hale walked up to the former, and, taking
him by the shoulder, marched him out
through the wings. The audience re>
newed its laughter and applause.
Billy Florence sat down and cried, and
before his tears could be dried
the thread of the play was taken up, and
the 60 Mighty Dollar" was spoiled for the
night, just as Florence had spoiled ''Our
American Cousin at the Olympic.

A RUSSIAN EXPLANATION.

1t is gravely stated that the Cars Gov
eminent, in order to assist the cause of
Bulgarian reform, has permitted the
Prince of that territory to enlist 5000
Russian subjects in the Bulgarian army.
The true explanation of this no doubt is
that 5000 Russian troops have been in
corporated with the Bulgarian forces, in
order to leaven them, and to the end that
the transformation of the whole army into
a Russian tool may be effected as speedily
and easily as possible. Russia reckons
upon Bulgaria as upon territory of her
own, in carrying out her future designs
against Turkey, and she wishes to take
Time by the forelock in making her mill
tary preparations. Should the Bulgarians
desire to maintain neutrality by and by,
they will probably find such course no
longer practicable.

legislation is as thoroughly demonstrated
as anything can possibly be, there
can be no doubt as to the
duty of members who desire to
serve the people well aud faith
fully, and to provide means of relief from
the intolerable evil of the debris. They
should sustain the vote by which they
passed the bill, and let it so to the Senate
without further delay. The end OF the
session is now close at hand. There re-
main only ten clear working days, in fact,
and it will not be easy to get the bill before
the Governor in any case. No useful end
can be reached by further discussion of the
subject, for the policy of the obstruction
lists is patent to all, and it would therefore
be mere waste of time to try to hit upon
any arrangement Which would satisfy them.
The duty of the Legislature is to the peo-
pie, first last, and all the time, and the
people demand the enactment of this bill,
as the best solution that can be reached
under the circumstances.

IMMoRTALIzsD By LAzINfss.

Who first employed the expansive force
of steam to do something is not certainly
known. The Marquis of Worcester seems
to have come very near to a practical idea
as he did in one or two of his hundred
notions and after him Slavery, Papin and
Newcomer successfully invented new mod
iEcations which brought the steam engine
almost to its present form, and paved the
way for the grand final improvements of
Watt. In Papin's engine the germ of the
present principle is first perceived the
steam being made to act upon piston or
movable plug, inclosed in cylinder. A
little water lay at the bottom of the cylin-
der, beneath the piston on fire being APP
piled the water was converted into steam,
which raised the piston; then the fire
being removed, the cylinder cooled, and
the steam condensed into water again, the
piston returned to its place. This action
was of course too slow to fulfill any prac-
teal purpose; but Newcomer followed up
the idea, and succeeded in producing a
machine capable of pumping water from
mines. In this, however, the moving
power was not steam, but air; steam was
used only as a secondary agent, to enable
the atmosphere to do the work A wooden
beam, hung in the middle, was connected
at enc end with the pump rod, and at the
other end with the rod attached to the
piston. The pump end of the beam would
tall by its own weight, and in so doing
would drag up the piston to the top of the
cylinder. Steam, generated in separate
boiler, was then admitted to the space I'M
derneath, and drove out what air there
was through valve; thereupon, the steam
being condensed by the sudden cooling of
the cylinders, vacuum was created, and
the pressure of the atmosphere forced the
piston slowly down, raising the pump
apparatus. With an enormous expendi-
ture OF fuel, this engine made only six or
eight numbering strokes per minute; so
much Time was consumed in cooling the
cylinder and condensing steam. At first,
cold water was dashed upon the outside of
the cylinder for this purpose; afterwards a
easing cylinder was employed into which
cold water was alternately admitted and
drawn off. Accident at last showed bet
ter way. The piston had been packed
with tow grease, and other material to
keep it air-tight, and to make assurance

AN 1NFEL1cIroUs EXHIBITION.

When Senator Bakers resolution prohib-
iting the payment of the members of the
Constitutional Convention for the extra
session was being debated ON Tuesday,
Senator West undertook to oppose it, and
in so doing charged that it was a.malicious
proposition, developed from the envy and
hatred which the surprising ability and
unrivaled patriotism of the Constitutional
Convention had bred IN base minds. We
do not mean to say that the Senator used
precisely this language, but this was the
spirit of his remarks. AS he had himself
been member of the Constitutional Con-
vention, and as his personal interests were
therefore affected by the resolution, his
appearance in the character OF champion
of the Convention was not in the best pos
sible taste, and his accusation of 90 spite -
against his colleagues and all others who
failed to recognize in that body the very
flower of modern craftsmanship and brain.
power, was equally infelcitous. The
Constitutional Convention is perhaps not
yet fully understood save by those
whose misfortune it was to be obliged
to study it on the spot, but its reputation
will ultimately depend upon the working
of the Constitution it framed, and when
the nature of that instrument is borne in
upon the popular mind by actual expert
ence, we do not think the view taken by
Senator West will be at all generally en-
tertained. As regards the question of pay
for the extra session, it is unquestionably
the popular belief at this time that the
State is not called upon to honor that
demand, inasmuch as the Convention
had ample time to frame a Consti-
tuition within the statutory limits, and
since its failure to do so was practical
demonstration of incapacity which ought
not to be converted INTO a heavy charge
upon the community. We have no doubt
that many members of the Convention
think the body was very superior one,
but assuredly the common conviction on
that head is very different, and as it is the
people holding the common view who pay
the taxes, on the whole it may be asserted
with some FEASIBILITY that this sentiment
should be respected in preference to the
other.

A CHERRY ROOM.

"We all love warm room, CHEEKY fire,
a comfortable arm chair, cleanliness and
brightness. These are the grosser parts
of household comfort which all can enjoy.
But many of us" says writer in Good
Words, "attempt also to surround our
selves with thingsnotpu relyutilltarian We
our doors with holdings, our ceilings and
cornices with plaster-work, our floors with
carpets, our fireplaces with marbles, our
chairs with chintzes. And the consequence
of all this is, that we often spend a good
deal of money in making ourselves less
comfortable than We should have been if
we had spent very little. The motive of
this outlay is not unfrequently desire to
obtain cheap magnificence, to initiate with
little what richer neigbbors have bought
with their plenty. And we certainly sue
coed in initiating their gaudiness. Only
we forget one of the essential principles of
all good art, that if thing is coz
spicuous it Should be able to bear
close examination. How much better
it would be if, instead of trying to
produce cheap limitations of things
which properly belong only to grand re-
ception-rooms and stately galleries, we
would contrive a. style of decoration which
should be in keeping with the houses in
which we live and in our manner OF life.
The love of show for its own sake is vul-
oar. The desire 10 create sensation be-
comes at times such a passion that it is
binding to all discrimination between
beauty and ugliness. To show beautiful
thing because it is beautiful is not vulgar;
but to show anything, whether beautiful or
ugly, for the sake of show-that is vulgar;
There are few men or women who would
not consider that cheap gaudiness IN dress
LII Mt al ;rs accompaniments Of false jew
elrv. and what is called loudness, was
to the last degree vulgar. But the strange
thing is, THAT the very men and women
who are really in many ways cultured and
refined rn lido mot see that they commit the
same faults in the decoration, Of their
snas s o th era as
