An Indian m esmerIZer..
IN. Y. SUM-

Strange stories come from India OF the
feats performed by native 4 mesmerizer
named Buni whose magnetic bower would
appear to be found quite irresistible by the
lower animals, upon which Ike exclusively
exerts 1t. He gives seancest to which the
public are invited to bring all manner OF f.
rocious and untamabIe wild beasts, and holds
them with his glittering eye.i In few Sec
onds they subside into q condition Of catalep-
tic stiffness, from which they can only be re-
vived by certain passes, which he soIernnly
executes with his right hanc. A snake in 8
state OF violent irritation was brought to BUM
by menagerie proprietor, enclosed In q
wooden cage. When deposited on the plat
form It was writhing alld hisslng fierceIy.
BUM bent over the cage and fixed his eye
upon Its occupant, gently waving his hand
over the serpent's RESTLESS head. In less than,
minute the snake stretched itself out, stiff
fened. and lay apparently dead. BUM took.
1t up and thrust several needles into its BODY.
but 1t gave no sign OF life. few passes then
restored 1t to Its former angry activity. Sub
sequently savage dog, held In leash by its
owner, was brought IN, and, at Buni's COM
mand, let loose upon him. AS 1t was rushing
toward him, bristlin9 with fury, he raised his
hand and IN a second the fierce brute dropped
upon its belly, as though stricken by light
ming. 1t seemed absolutely paralyzed BY
some unknown agency, and was unable to
move muscle until released from the mag
netizer's spell by a majestic wave OF his hand.

New York, Boston and San Francisco, to re-
tain resident stock company. The system
Of travelling combinations has swept away
all the other stationary organizations
D'Oyley Carte, Gilbert and Sullivan has not
been altogether success, and the companies
sent West to do the new opera are being treat
ed with the peculiarly blunt criticism which
prevails In that section OF the country.
Billy Florence thinks John Mccullough, In
tor, would make great hit In England. He
thinks Irving as fine an actor as was Macrea-
dy, but that his mannertsms would not take
with Americans. He considers him better In
comedy than tragedy.
To retaliate for being excluded from the
theatre, the Cinnamon OF Nevada City
brought an entire Mongolian dramatic com
pany from San Francisco, and, renting the
Nevada Theatre, had weeks performances
of their own, to which they would admit no
white man.
Lawrence Barrett is "strong" everywhere

ton except In New York, and Mccullough ex-
cept In Louisville Lester Wallack is strong
only In New York and Brooklyn, but Ade-
laide, Nelson, Sothern and Lolita are uni
formly attractive everywhere. Janauschek
seldom does any business In New York, and
J. +. Raymond very little. Mckee Rankin
always does better In Chicago than In st.
Louis. Maggie Mitchell plays the largest
enxagements In Cincinnati and Brooklyn,
Crane and Robson In Memphis, Barrett In
Detroit and Alice Oates In Washington, Nc
Cullough is not ''strong" in Baltimore; the
Florences do the best In the small overnight
stands and Dion Boucicault in the larger cit
les. Mary Anderson's strongest hold Ia In
the smaller towns OF New England. Milton
Mobiles is q great favorite Ia Chicago. Cham
frau is most certain OF good business In Bas-
ton. Barrett is well liked In the South. and

though growing In favor everywhere, Is
strongest now in Philadelphia Dramatic

THE FORGOTTEN GRAVE.

Out from the city's giant roar
You wandered through the open door,
Paused at q little pail and spade
Across tiny hilloek laid.
Then noted on your dexter side
Some moneyned mHgnate's love or pride:'
Aud so beyond hawthorn tree.
BhowerinR It's rain OF rosy bloom
Alike on low and lofty tomb.
You came upon it-suddenly.
How stranRel The very q asses growth
Around 1t seemed forlorn and loath:
The very Ivy seemed to turn
Askance that wreathed the neighbor urn.
Sunk was the slab the head declined.
And left the rails wreck behind.
