MUSIC AND THE DRAMA
BARNRY McAULEY IN A NEW PLAY.

BARNEY MCAULEY IN NEW PLAY.
Tuesday morning next Mr.. B. McAuley viii
present for the first time in this city his new
comedy, "The Jerssyman," by E. A. Locke,
author of "Uncle Danl." The plot is quite
new and hinges on woman OF fashion, who
consents to marry her servant on condition that
he will kill this heroine, who unexpectedly is
found to be heiress of the fortune which the
woman of fashion has enjoyed ano Graves for
her own son. The dialogue is always bright
and Astounding in touches Of humor as genuine
as they are characteristic. At all points are
new situations, many being exceedingly unique
and at the close of the third act, when a would
be murderer is detected by button, which bis
victim has in dying clutch torn from his coat,
is well worked up and exceedingly effective.
The play virtually ends here, yet the fourth
act is made the most enjoyable OF all. This is
done by using the one or two minor points still
remaining and introducing original minor IN
cidentS as rich as they well can be IN broad
humor, which keeps the audience continually
laughing. Mr.. McAuley appears as Gjlderoy
N G. Punk, scheming, huckstering jersey
man, whose great ideas and wonderful schemes
never come to a successful end.
Monday evening Mr.. McAuley will appear IN
his well known creation of Uncle Dan'l, the
brave and hearty old deputy sheriff from way
down in Maine"

How a Gold Piece Passed Around.

A singular incident occurred at the
circus last Thursday night, which illus
trates the invariable good fortune that
attaches to some people. One of pair
Of friends, who were spectators. pur-
chased a song book from vender ofthe
poetic trash Of the ring, and gave in
payment 81 80 gold piece, supposing
it to be a silver dime. The vender
pocketed the money and went on, say
ing nothing about the mistake. In a
few min1tes the other friend decided to
invest dime in the same way. He
called to the nearest vender, who
happened to be the golden individual
aforesaid, and handed him a quarter.
The chap returned him book, together
with the $3.50 piece and a five-cent
nickel. This caused friend No to look
in his clothes for his own gold, and, not
finding it, the obvious conclusion was
that the the piece was his.-Atlanta

-Horseshoes made of three thick

There is eminent medical authority,
says the Boston Journal Of Chemistry,
for the statement that unripe or very
old potatoes contain certain quantity
of solanine. This may produce serious
results if the potatoes are boiled with
their skins on, and if they are eateA in
large quantities.
The blacksmith shop of the Pits
burgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago Railway,
at Pittsburgh has been much troubled
by the unsettIing of the brick forges by
the jar of steam hammers. Necessity
has, however, proved the mother of IN

proved decidedly successful method
Of overcoming all difficulties.
One by one the more precious met
ais are found deposited in this country,
and in some cases, as in nickel, the un-
suspected supplies prove greater in vol
ume than the previous yield of all other
countries combined. The latest of these
discoveries is that of vanadium, which
has been taken from an Arizona mine in
larger paying quantities than ever be-
fore known.-SQn francisco Chronicle.
Experiments have been made with
steam engines in France which show
that many Of the bricks employed in
building furnaces are 80 porous as to al
low an easy passage for the air. In
consequence of these experiments, it is
recommended that no bricks should be
employed for the purpose which are not
very compact and refractory, and that
they should also be either glazed upon
the outside or covered with an impen-
etrable varnish.
The Country Gentleman calls atten-
ton to a paper read at the Montreal
meeting of the Society for the Promo
ton of Agricultural Science, in which
Professor J. FL. Comstock gave an ac-
count of the efforts which have been
made to destroy the scale insects, of
which so many species infest our trees
and shrubs. Lye and strong solutions
OF soap appear to be the best remedial
agents, and the insects must be brought
into actual contact with the substance.
