A SneeZinQ Scene,
from the New York Mercury

From the New York Mercury.
Probably one of the meanest stage
tricks that was ever played was played
on Mary Anderson It will be remem-
bered 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 a huge fur garment,
made of lions skin, or something. One
day he noticed that the moths were get
ting 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 beu-
zine. 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 got fairly
into his position before Parthenia came
out on hop, skip, and Jump, and threw
herself all over him. She got one lung
full of insect powder, and the other full
ways love me, Ingomar ?" she dropped
an aside, "For the love of Heaven,
what have you been drinkin 2" and
then she sneezed a couple of times. In
gomar held her up the best he could,
considering that his nose was full of
insect powder, and he answered, 81
wilt" and then he said to her quietly,
"Damfno what it is that smells so. :"
They went on with the play between
sneezes, and when the curtain went
down she told Ingomar to go out and
shake himself, and he did. It was no.
ticed in the next act that Ingomar had a
linen ulster on, and Mary snoze no
more.

What Thew Eat In Africa,

An African correspondent of Food and
Health, speaking of the habits of the
people says:
OF course hunters food, such as eIe-
plant foot, buffalo hump, sea COW, gi-
raffe, and the hundreds CT different kinds
of deer that abound III various parts of
the country, are all more or less good
eating, especially when you have good
supply of Dame Natures sauce, hun
ger, on hand. l also found the coney
or rock rabbit fair dish, although too
much like large rat to look pleasant on
the table. The natives of the country
are not, as a rule, great meat-eaters,
living generally on corn Called there
mealies), milk, pumpkins, and a sort
of sugar-cane, now and then going In
for feast of meat. [ have often con-
sidered whether to this way of living may
be ascribed the really wonderful manner
in which they recover from their wounds.
In the Zulu war | saw four persons
wounded in the legs with bullets, one of
them especially having received bullet
just below the knee, smashing all the
bones, and leaving hole that you could
see through. The doctors said the only
hope for any of them was amputation.
This they refused to allow, and they
would do nothing but pour cold water
from time to time. When / last saw
them all but the worst could walk alone,
and bis wound looked healthy, the bone
having grown together, and knitted
quite strongly No white man could
have lived without On operation. On
the other hand, these men soon succumb
to illness or disease.

"Not exactly" he laughed-an he
was fumbling in his breast for little

heaven knows what might have been if
last night, Just as I was going over old
Whitehorse Ledge, huge meteor had
not suddenly blazed out. and showed me
the chasm into which the next step
would lead. Not exactly, for when L

you see this, Greta? Do you see this,
mother? The little crystals are worth

he poured them out in his palm. "They

cies-"
FAnd I need not leave my home; my
fathers home, this spot of heaven to me,

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER %. 1881.
THANKSGIVING.
BY A. DOWNING.

The golden glow of autumn time
Has faded Ike ember,
And on the dre1ry landscape lie
The first SHOWS of November.
Chill blows the wind through woods discrowne(
Of all their leafy glory,
AS thus the seasons in their round
Repeat the endless story.
The earth hath yielded up her fruits
To bless the sons of labor,
And peace and plenty crown the lives
OF CHEEKY friend and neighbor.
In crowded towns, on prairies broad,
In homes by lake and river,
Ten thousand grateful hearts unite
To bless the gracious Oliver.
Thanksgiving for the harvest full,
The orchards mellow treasures,
The purple grapes, the golden corn,
And all the joys and pleasures, t.
And bounties rich and manifold,
That make life worth the living;
For these alike the young and old
Join in glad Thanksgiving.
The kindly pair, whose weight of years
With frosty locks has crowned them,
Are seated at the festal board
With All their children round them,
The father giveth fervent thanks
In simple speech and dicion,
And stretches forth his aged hands
In holy benediction.
Thus friends. long sUndered, reun1te.
Recount each grief and pleasure
The annals of the fading past
And fill ag.in the measure
Of youth and healthful joyousness,
AS in the glad time olden,
VII skies were blue, and life was new,
And all the days were golden.
Thanks to tae Pilgrim Fathers, then,
Whose little goodly leayen
Works out, through all the buried years.
This antefeast Of heaven;
And to the Lord-whose gracious gifts
Make life well worth the living
Who dwells above, whose name is Love,
Be evermore Thanksgiving.

The Nashville American says that
wonderful wooden tunnels cover forty
mules of the Central Pacific Railway.
They are of two kinds, steep roofs and
fat roofs. They cost from $1,000 to$12,-
900, and IN some places $50, 900 mile
Fire precautions are very thorough. At
the summit is an engine and tank always
ready to food the ignited spot in an in
slant. Sometimes FIVE feet of snow falls
upon them in day, and often thirty
feet lie on the ground at one time, and
in many places snow accumulates to the
depth of fifty feet above these great
wooden arches.

We'll, this IS delightful contrast with last week. Last week Apollyon himself seemed to have absolute sway. and old Boreas did his bidding powerfully and with pleasure. to all appearances. But today the Angel of Light, yea. the Seventh Splendour, seems to have seized the reins of government, the air is flooded with sunshine and everything is love- ly; the bees hum; arbutus gives it's fragrance to the gentle zephyr; humanity gets out and airs itself behind it's fine horses; gardners are spading up the lettuce beds the blow boys be- gin to halloo, 'whoa haw!" to his oxen l0afers gather on the street corners, women run back and forth from house to house to consult on spring hats and new styles, flower seeds and wall paper; coy maldens and bash full youths finger arm in by the waters brink when the sun has reached the horizon and | 'Aurora's white and vermeiltinctured cheek has to orange turned;" everything is imbued with new lIfe and even the lazy man chuck les to think he can keep warm without the labor of cutting wood. Such are some of the indications of the approach of beautiful spring. These are halcyon days which those of health wealth and prosperity can greatly enjoy. Geo. Edwards, an old-time member of N. P. I. U. Orchestra, was in the village. last week, visiting his many friends. He still continues to play the flute. Like Hamlet he says, "'Tis as easy as lying; govern the ventages with your fingers and thumb. give it breath with your mouth, and it will discourse most excellent music" We were glad to see his smiling countenance.
