David Garrick.

One hundred and two years ago oc-
curred the death of David Garrick, un-
onestionably the king among actors. No
hstorionic existence ever equaled Gar
ricks. His first appearance on the stage
was at Goodman's Fields Thoater, Oct
10 17l1, in the part Of Richard Iii.
His success was instantaneous ; no such
acting having before been seen, he at
once became the rage in London no 30
cicty was complete without him. mobiles
besieged his drcssing-room, begging for
fine honor of his company Mt their houses.
Pope said he never had an equal, and
would never have rival.
The great Mrs. Porter, then retired,
went to London on purpose to hear him.
She said the youth knew more ut his
first appearance than others after twenty
wears training. The Duke of Argyle
declared him superior to Bettorton.
Even Garrick's enemies, men who most
uniustiy charged him with meanncss,
admitted his wonderful genius. Among
those who repaid the actors favors with
irowns was the INSCRIPTIONS Arthur
Murphy. But even he, when asked
what he thought of Garrick's acting, af-
ter pause, replied: "Well, sir, off
the stage, he is mean, snealsing little
fellow; but, on the stage throwing up
his hands and eyes" my great
God~
Garrick's first love affair is very anus
ing. He became attached to Peg WOf-
fngton, and, with her and Macklin, an
other actor, went to keeping house, each
to be in turn housckccpor for month.
This plan early failed, and the love affair
was soon cured. A short time after
ward he was married to Madamoiselle
Vioette, a dancer of Vienna.
Gamick's reception in France was one
of the most wonderful of his career. All
Paris went wild over him. His pictures
adorned the walls of every house.
Girrck's last season as al actor was
in l776. He played Orchard" for tho
last time with Mrs. Siddons, in the pres
encc of the King and Queen. His last
night on the stage was June 10, as Don
Felix in "The Wonder" and he retired
from the stage amid expressions of grief
and regret OF the most poignant charac-
ter. Three years later-Jan. 20, 1779-
he died of painful malady, and was
buried in Westminster Abbey, mobiles
bearing his pail, while poets, scholars,
statesmen and artists stood uncovered
beside his grave.
The glOries Of our mortal state
Are shadows, not substantial things;
There is no arlnOr against fate;
Death lays his icy hand on Kings.
SCeptcr and crown
Must tumble down,
And in the dust be equal made
With the poor scythe and spade.

A New Way 10 Make hair Grow.


] do not thml, have vet told you IF a
new system to mako hair crow on the
head, even at the most advanced are
1t has been tried ON persons over eighty
or ninety years oi age, and has always
succeeded as yet, But it requires great
paticHcc and time. You must rub the
head for half an hour every day, either
morning on evening, rs yorl wish; then.
ii your head hc dry. rub it another half
hour with II stimulating romaium. ii
the head be moist, rub into the roots Of
the hair stimulating wash, made Of
rum, Gulninc, cantlari,l,s, etc. which
any chemist will easily and chcaVly mako
up for you. The great thing is TO rub,
rub, rub the head for fully half nm hour
before applying the mcdlcamcnt and for
half an hour attcrward. Sometimes,
after one hundred hours, You may bcgiu
to see the hair ready to shoot up from
the most iyory-louking pate. The hair
grows Slow hut surely, and takes ~
many months to re-grOw us it took years
to fall. Suppose, then, you lost your
youthful locks twenty years ago, 1t will
take twenty months for them to grow
again to their original length and thick
ness. The newly grown hair, also, is of
the original color Of the hair before it
began to fall.
Those who have the time will certainly
try the experiment, at least for amonth or
two. Those who have ladies' maids may
save themselves the trouble, leaving the
care to the maid; but the persons own
hand is better. Several Roman doctors
are going TO try the experiment, as tho
inventor of the system is a disciple of
IIahnemann. Hair dressers are also try
ing it on those customers who consent to
mako the trial, and several very remark
able cures have already been effected.

Darwin, in showing that thcro was
evolution in plants MS well as in animals,
points ont that there are certain species
which decOy insects into the folds Of
their leaves and crush them, actually
feeding on the insects, while plant in
India will masticato bcefsteak, a rabbit,
or chicken. These plants, being In
wild state, of course are eileminatc, but
if cultivated could be brought to wonder
full proportions physically. If carefully
tended, and given all the food and drink
they required, with horizontal bar to
practice on, there would seem to be no
reason why they should not join tnr-
ner society and might carry of prize
Of a silver water pitcher. MIR. Darwin
claims that all plants are forocions to n
degree, and only need to he denied their
en- tomnry sustenancc and tempted with
animal life in order to have their savage
natures developed and brought to light.
Some wealthy people, followers OF Oar
wins school, are already making expert
ments in this direction, and 1t Is possible
that the day is not far distant when the
traveller, who is forced to travel through
lonely wood will find himself suddenly
confronted by n murdcrous band OF
cucnmbors, and he will be forced to
Weld. If tho wealthy sayants pursue
their experiments to the fullest possible
extcnt it NAV he no unusual sight, some
time in the next century or thereafter, to
see carrot arraigned in court on
charge of stabbing parsnlp, III row
in a saloon, over game Of iifteen-ball
pool. When the savage nature of plants
shall become fully developed, what
terrible revenge may be expected from
the cornstalk upon the descendants OF
all those who are now connecting its
name with Le Due, the Agricultural
Commissioner, in his effort to mako 1t
the sugar producing shrub of the coun-
try. We trust, however, that the corn
stalk will not bear malice, and will be
generous and let by-gones be by-gones.
Men in those days will doubtless have
trouble enough driving away marauding
bands of tomatoes, and their allies, the
onions, without giving unnecessary Of
Tense to plants Of other varieties. We
see now how it is that President Hayes
has always made pet of the pumpkin,
and sought 10 curry favor with the
Hubbard squash. He was making him
self solid with these vegetables. This Is
also proved by his appointment of so
many Ohio men to Office. He fears the
time when their ferocious natures will
be developed, believing that he will live
a thousand years, as is shown by the
way he takes care Of his money. He
desires to get along peaceably and agree
ably with all, and would not for the
world stain his hands with the juice OF
the beet, or shop a red cabbage into sour

Men Are Liberal TO BE Seen of Men.

An eminent British clergymen was
severely opposed to what he called SEN
sational methods Of gatherings collec-
tons. He denounced the practice Of
passing collection boxes or baskets
through the congregation, and said it
was unscriptural. He believed that Civ
ing ought to be done on principle, with
ont special impulse, and without appeal
to the feelings. Ho determined to put
his views into practical operation in his
own way. SO he told his people that for
one year they might put their donations
for missionary work into two large boxes,
which he placed for the purpose in the
church vestibules. These boxes, which
were made of stout oak, were securely
locked, and would not be opened until
the close of the year, when he hoped
they would be full of money. He wanted
people quietly and unostentatiously to
deposit their gifts in the openings in the
tops of these boxes, in the sight of the
Lord, and not ito be seen of men,"
The boxes were recently opened. On
carefully counting the contents of both,
the total sum was found to be somewhat
less than two shillings, all in copper coin.
The eminent clergyman still believes
that his theory Of benevolence is the cor
rect one. But he believes that he is in
advance of his age, for he is persuaded
that the people will not put his view into
practical operation.

MARRIED FOR LOVE.

Yes, Jack Brown was aspendd fellow.
But married for love, you know;
Remember the girl very we'll
Sweet little Kitty Duiiau.
Pretty, and loving, and good,
And bright as 3 fairy elf,
Twas very much tempted indeed
To marry Kitty myself
"But her friends were all Of them poor,
And Kitty had not cent;
And knew should never be
With love In cottage content.
So Jack was the lucky wOOer,
Or unlucky-anyway
You can see how shabby his coat
And his hair is turning gray.
a. But I'm told he thinks himself rich
With Kitty and hOmcly joys;
A cot far away out Of town
Full Of noisy girls and boys
Poor Jack I'm sorry and all that
But Of course he very wei knew
That fellows who marry for love
Must drink Of the liquor they brew"
And the handsome Augustus smiled.
His coat was In perfect style,
And women still spoke Of his grace,
And gave him their sweetest smile.
But he thought that night Of Jack Brown.
And said :" | am growing OH
think must really marry
some beautiful girl WIFI BOiu'
Years passed, and the bachelor grew
TiresOme and stupid, and old;
He had not been able to find
The beautiful girl with gold.
And with his ianccS he dwclt,
Alone IN the crowded town,
Till one day he audlenly met
The friend Of his youth, Jack Brown.
"why, GusW "Why, Jack !" What meet
ing
Jack was 50 happy and gay;
The bachelor sighed for content
As he followed his friend away
To the cot far out of town,
Set deep in its orchard trees,
Scented with ille' and roses,
Cooled with the ocean breeze.
"Why, Jack, what beautiful place
What did it C lst % "Oh, II grew,
There were only three rooms at first
Then soon the three were too few,
So we added room now and then;
And oft in the evening hours,
Kitty, the children and
Planted the trees and the flowers.
"And they grew as the children grew
CIaCk, Harry and Grace and BELIEF"
Aud where are Tho youngsters now ~
GAN happy, and doing well.
Jack went to Spain for our house
His road is level and clear
And llauy'sa lawyer in town,
Making three thousand year.
And Grace and Belle are well married.
They married for love, as is best;
But often our brides come back
To visit the dear home nest.
So my sweet wife KITTY and |
Froln labor AMI care may cease;
We have enough, and age eau bring
Nothing but love and peace"
But over and over again
The bachelor thought that night
Home and wife, and children
Jack Brown was, after all right.
Oh il in the day' of my youth
Ihad honestly loved and wed
For now I'm old thrcc's no one cares
Whether Pm living or dead"

Strange Forms of Fungi.


A gentleman who recently had oc-
casion TO explore tho chambers, drifts
and cayerns of the old deserted Ophir
and Mexican mines says fungi of every
imaginable kind have taken possession
Of the old levels. In these old mines,
undisturbed for years, is found fungus
world in which are to be seen counter
fcits Of almost everything seen III our
daylight world. Owing to the warmth
of old levels and to the presence in them
of certain amount of moisture the tim
beers have been made to grow somo
curious crops. Some of the fungi in the
old chambers are several feet in height,
and being snow white, resemble shectcd
ghosts. In places arc what at little
distance appear to be white owls, and
there are representations of goats with
long beard, all us white as though carved
III the purest marble. The rank fungus
growth has almost closed some of the
drifts. The fungi are of almo-. every
Imaginable variety of growth. Some
kinds hang down from the timber like
great lunches Of snow white lair and
others are great PUPPY masses. The last
