A MEAN STAGE TRICK.

Probably one of the meanest stage tricks
that was ever played was played on Mary
Anderson. 1t will be remembered that in
the play of "Ingomar. Parthenia and the
barbarian have several love scenes, where
they lop on each other and hug some-that
is, not too much hugging, but just hugging
enough. Ingomar wears huge fur gar
ment, made of lions skin, or something
One day he noticed that the moths were
getting into it, and he told his servant to
see about the moths, and drive them out.
The servant got some insect powder and
blowed the hair of the garment full of it,
and scrubbed the inside of it with benzine.
Ingomar put it on just before he went on
the stage, and thought it didn't smell just
right, but he had no time to inquire into
it. He had not fairly got in his position
before Parthenia came out on hop,
skip and jump, and threw herself all over
him. She got one lung full of insect pow
der and the other full of benzine, and as
she said "Wilt always love me, Ingo-
MARI" she dropped her head over his
shoulder and said In an aside, " For the
love of heaven, what have you been drink
ing?" and then she sneezed couple of
times. Ingomar held her up the best he
could, considering that his nose was full of
insect powder, and he answered, s'I wilt, I"
and then he said to her quietly, Damfno
what it is that smdls So" They went on
with the play between sneezes, and when
the curtain went down she told Ingomar
to 90 out and shake himself, and he did.

Good Beginning.

The rainy season has commenced well. The
rains thus far have come very calmly and
gradually, and the amount fallen thus far is
very little in excess of the average rains to
date for period of years past. One pecu-
liarity of the present seasons rains, however,
is such that it does not indicate very large
rainfall for the season. We refer to the fact
that all our rains thus far have come in the
dark or last quarters of the moon. Close OBJ
servers generally agree that this is an indica-
ton of an open or dry winter. We have
not much faith in these or any other wealth
er indications, and the longer we re-
main in the country, and the closer
we observe its seasons, the less faith we have
in weather predictions. The older we
grow, as Californian, the less we know
about the future of the weather. We how
ever call attention to this general agreement
of weather observers, that more general OBJ.
servations be made on this particular point
The proposition is that if the fall rains com.
mence 10 the latter part of lunar month they
are apt to come about that time in the noon
for the whole season, and that if the first few
rains be very light that will continue light
through the season. Now, while many are
predicting as to the weather, we make no pre-
diction, but simply say that we have good
beginning, whatever may be the ending.
The fact is, that the farmers generally have
great faith in good producing season ahead,
and they are giving proof of this faith in the
preparations they are making to put In crops.
The plow trade this fall has been one of the
most extensive our dealers in agricultural i'm
plements have ever known. Thus we have
another good beginning.

THE LOVERS PARADISE.
Together death shall find us,

Together death shall find US,
Together we will go,
Sweet to the home assigned US
In the pale world below,
And the fields dedicate
To lovers fortunate.
Eoye, crouching mid the flowers
0f that unending spring,
Within his mothers bowers
Shall watch us dallying-
There shall we learn how great
Bliss doth her lovers wait.
Through plains with bloom aglowing,
And by green meadow sward,
Murmur the streamlets. flowing
In divers sweet accord;
One plays, with answering song,
The others dance along.
The glad sky never lowers,
Nor glances less than kind
The viper on those flowers
Leaves not its trail behind /;
There, too, the bird away
Sits singing on the spray.
Ever the winds are breathing
Some music passing sweet;
Ever the laurels wreathing
Some soft and cool retreat;
The happy flowers ne'er lose
The brightness of their hues.
In the vast bowery spaces
OF that delightful land
We, too, shall have our places
Amid the lovers band,
And, free from care as they,
Love, as they love, for aye.
No sweet of ancient story
That shall not willingly be
To yield her seat Of glory.
Lady, to thee and me-
Not though it be her eyes
Made hearts divine their prize.

NOTES.
Mrs. Caroline NJ. Franklin, wife of Com
modore Samuel E. Franklin, U. s. N,
died, aged 80, on last Saturday afternoon,
at the Park Avenue Hotel, New York city,
where she had been under medical treat
ment many weeks for Bright's disease.
Her devoted and deeply -bereaved husband
met and married her twelve years ago IN
San Francisco, where she was residing
with her father, General Erasmus d.
Keyes, U. S. A., retired. General Keyes
is still resident of California, where he
has large business interests. He visited
this daughter and son.in.law in April last
at their pleasant home, newly built and
furnished, in northwest Washington, near
the British Legation. Mrs. Franklin
was q devout Catholic lady, of sweet
ness and force of character. She
leaves no children. She was a
second wife of Commodore Franklin, who
is brother of General VIM. B. Franklin,
prominent in the war, but who resigned
his commission to engage in the Colt rifle
manufacturing interest at Hartford, Conn.
The two brothers look much alike. Gen.
eral Franklin was last year prominent in
the Hancock campaign, and is an intimate
personal friend of that gentleman. Com
modore Franklin was in command of the
Franklin, the flag. ship of our Mediterra-
mean squadron, that brought home Boss
Tweed from his escapade to Europe. He
is popular man here, and in his loss has
the sympathy of large circle of friends IN
civil, military and naval life.
GUITEAU,
The assassin, displays the frivolity of his
character even in the supreme crisis of his
fate. His case scarcely excites interest,
from the utter insufficiency of his death to
atone for the death he caused. His last
effort to raise money for his defense is a
demand on photographer Bell, who took
his picture in prison. He writes: You
know you have been supplying the country
with them, and it is right that you should
pay me reasonable royalty. What will
you give to settle without trouble or ex-
pense ?" Mr.. Bell at latest accounts had
not been intimidated into hquidating with
him. Should there be such an impossible
event as Guiteau's escape from conviction
by jury, he would be quietly but promptly
lynched. A band of colored men threaten
to take it in hand should there be any flaw
in the white mans justice. My colored
maid, an old Washingtonian servant, who
has all summer taken the national burden
very much to her individual heart, says
"Dey'd better glib him ober to we culled
wimmen. We'd take care of dat brudder.
We wouldn't leave enough of him to hang.
