The Grandest Of Stage Spectacles.

Let me tell you first of the Thousand
and One Nights" which Adophe d'En-
merry and Paul Ferrier have put on the
stage for us. The theatre was closed
for thirty nights for full-dress rehearsals;
several times during the performance
there are 400 persons on the stage; there
are 300 costumes, thirty-one tableaux,
and 500, 900 has been spent on scenery
and costumes. You may imagine some
thing of the dazzling splendor of the
fairy piece. Let me tell you the won
ders of three tableaux. Two of them,
Cleopatra's Court and the Internal Hunt,
are said to be the most brilliant tableaux
ever put on the stage. One of these
tableaux is laid In "the unfathomed
caves of the ocean," where corals, sea-
weeds, madrepores, shrimps, fishes and
Holsters, represented by young, pretty
girls in pretty dresses that never begin
and are always ending, who dance and
dive and float So the eyes are fairly
dazzled by the number of groups and
the variety OF costumes. Cleopatra
enters on an immense houdah borne by
two magnificent elephants, painted to
look more splendid, and with magnifi-
cent gold bracelets on each leg. The
houdah is as brilliant as satin, silk, vel
vet, cloth of gold, cloth of silver, tassels
and fringes can make it. Cleopatra lies
on divan, surrounded by her slaves
and by fifty fan bearers; no two persons
among slaves and fan bearers have the
same costume, and each costume is as
rich as possible. Cleopatra is welcomed
by brilliant ballet, and not one of the
danseuses has the same costume. The
Internal Hunt brings on the stage a
pack OF $50 honnds, II whippers-in, "a
huntsmen, 10 members of the hunt, and
5 ladies; they hunt 60 tigers, that are
immense Danish dogs covered with
tigers skin; these dogs are SO mortified
at being obliged to play this most ridic-
ulous part that they go about the theatre
before and after the piece is played with
heads hung down and tails between
their legs. The scene is, however, ex-
citing; horns blow, whips are cracked,
dogs mouth it, and horses gallop at

TONY Pastor in Trouble.

Tony Pastor, of New York. who is now
with his inimitah.e variety combination
making touT of the principal cities of the
Union, is recognized as the leading character
vocalist and variety performer of the United
States. He owns and runs first class theater
on Broadway, New York city, and has gath
cred about him the best troupe of variety
artists that could be obtained. The company
has just completed brilliant engagement at
the Walnut Street Theater, Philadelphia
and after the present tour they will reappear
in Tony Pastors own theater in New York
city. Mr.. Pastor is the originator of his
peculiar school of character singing, and has
made himself immensely popular, having
realized by his talents IA large fortune.
The writer of this article met Mr.. Pastor
recently at the Bingham House in Phladel-
phia, and found him as genial in private as
he is amusing before the public. During our
conversation l inquired as to his physical
health, and he replied that, notwithstanding
the strain upon him in the discharge of his
professional duties, it was excellent. He had
occasionally severe pains, either the result
of rheumatic attacks or colds, but any COM
plants of that character never troubled him
long, as he had found out remedy for all
such annoying affections. / asked him what
the remedy was, and he replied, st. Jacobs
Ol. tnen learned from MI. GaStOr That
he considered the Great German Remedy an
excellent preparation for the cure On relief of
rheumatism, and that it was about the only
thing used among professionalpeople for that
distressing complaint He took bottles of it
with him whenever he went travelling, and
would not be without it, and he knew that it
was very popular with number of members
of his own company. A conversation held
subsequently with various members of the
organization revealed the fact that ST. Jacobs
Oil had been performing most invaluable
service for them in the way of curing them
of rheumatism. Nearly every artist in the
troupe used it, and was enthusiastic in its
praise, and the writer was really forced to
the conclusion that Tony Pastor was certainly
in luck in having so valuable an article
known and employed by his inirnitably good
company of performers for it enabled every
one TO be always i'll his place, thus insuring
comfort to the management and genuine
satisfaction to the public. Tony Pastor
would certainly be in trouble without st.
Jacobs OIL At least, other managers. whose
artists have been temporarily unsupplied,
have noticed the difference between ST.
Jacobs Oil in stock and st. Jacobs Oil out
of stock-among the members of their COM
panies.-N. Y. Clipper

THE WORKSHOP.

A SATURATED solution of sulphate OF
copper in water is recommended as the
cheapest and best thing for writing on
zinc labels. The writing should be done
either with hard wood stile or with a
blunt quill pen.
DE FcssE, of Paris, has introduced a
paper covering for furniture. 1t is
made in imitation of Cordova leather,
and is said to be so effective in its pur-
poses as to promise competition with
textile fabrics for upholstery work.
IT is stated that in Mexico wooden
railway ties cost about $l.50 apiece,
and that some of them laid on the
Mexican National Railroad last May are
now decayed and unsafe. 1t is said that
it has been found cheaper to order iron
ties, worth $3 each, from England thai
to use wooden ones.
MINERAL-TANNED leather is impervious
to water and is said to be much more
durable than leather prepared in the
ordinary manner. Tests have been made
which show that belts of mineral tanned
leather are not only thirty per cent.
cheaper, but are stronger than common
belts. The mineral process of tanning
is reported to have been introduced into
eight tanneries in Germany.
Two processes have been recently in
troduced by M. Seguin, of Paris, by
which it is claimed that the resistance of
iron to the various strains to which it is
subjected is considerably increased. In
one process the piece of iron is raised to
a cherry-red heat, and dipped in mix
ture of sulphuric acid and water. In
the other process the piece is similarly
heated and quenched in mixture OF
one part of turpentine and six parts
water
Mr.. F. SIEMENs proposes to adapt
toughened glass to the manufacture of
street lamp posts, water mains and other
articles usually made of cast iron. His
claim for glass is that it is stronger than
iron; it is imperishable and incorrodible.
The profit to the maker is twice that of
cast iron, but the specific gravity of
glass is so much less than that of cast
iron that the consumer will be able to
obtain articles at about thirty per cent.
cheaper than cast IRON

MaIar5aI Fever.

Malarial Fevers. Rheumatism, ETC., result
most fr, quently from inactivity OF the liver and
kidneys. You make great mistake and do
yourself great injustice unless you bestow upon
these important organs of life most careful at

liver upside down by the use of severe cathartic
medicines, or TO lash the kidneys into complete
exhaustion by overdoses OF violent diuretics.

The Young Writer'S First Production.

Probably every one who has attempted
authorship will confirm Longfellows
experience on the appearance of his
first effusion in print. Nothing, he tells
us, which he since published gave him
such exquisite pleasure as he experienced
on opening the paper to which he had
timidly sent his manuscript, and to find
it there in actual type, to be read by the
multitude. This feeling comes but once,
but the memory of it lasts lifetime. 1t
can never be forgotten. What anticipa-
tions it arouses-what sense of i'm
portance it gives How little does the
young author suspect the cold indiffer-
ence with which it is read, possibly not
read, by those who take the paper As
the song says, ITS all the world to
him." and why not all to the world?
1t would be and is cruel to spoil the
delightful sensations of initial author
ship. They may be false, they certainly
are ieeting, but the enjoyment, while it
lasts, is an intoxication of delight, as
first pleasant sensations are apt to be.
The hint comes soon enough to the
writer to discover how really unimpor-
tant the event was. If he persists in
writing he will come to be as Indifferent
to his appearance in type as the world is
III q newspaper writer, he will weary of
the eternal grind, and forget what he
has written the day before in studying
what to write for the day after.
But no success, either as . newspaper
writer or book-maker, either as poet or
essayist, however fattering, will ever
give to the author the sensation of his
first appearance in print. 1t is, after it
passes, lost sensation, no more to be
repeated than loves young dream, with
freshness and fervor. 1t is an illusion
too exquisite to be duplicated in ones ex-
perience.
1t is our advice, then, to young writer's,
after they have succeeded in getting into
print once, to stop then and there, and
cherish the sensation as long as possible
that is to say, as long as they can
help it-and not repeat it to safety, or
until the spirit is Jaded, and the writer
ready to cry out, with the Preacher, all
is vanity and vexation of spirit. Gin.

Education OF Children.
saturday Review.l

Lady Mary Wortley Montagu said
People commonly educate their children
as they build their houses, according to
some plan they think beautiful, without
considering whether it is suited to the
purposes for which they are designed.
There is one great mistake usual in moth
ers; if any of their daughters are beauties,
they take great pains to persuade them
that they are ugly. would, if possible,
give them ajust notion of their attraction,
and show them how far they are valuable.
It is common doctrine of what are called
good books, to inspire contempt of
beauty, riches, greatness, etc. Why
should not our SCI. look on these things
as blessings where they are bestowed,
though not necessaries without which it
is impossible to be happy?
