A Slight misunderstanding.
[Chicago Times.]

They were horse fanciers, and were
speeding team out on the roadto Crosse
Point, and after long discussion of their
favorites, one of them leaned back in the
buggy, let the reins drop loose, and said:
"You ought to have seen Suke. All,
she were critter to be proud of. She
was whole team, and boy to drive, l
kin tell you"
"Broke to harness?" asked his friend.
"Well, now. you bet she was, though
once in while she'd take the bits in her
mouth and 60 it alone, but she was high
flyer, she was I amt got over her loss
yet"
"Wuth much??' inquired the other
man.
"Wuth her weight in gold to me. |
declare / never come so near cryin' as |
did when lost that critter; she was a
worker, too"
"Kinder gentle, I SUPPOSE" suggested
the other.
ooh, she'd 'casionally kick over the

scrimmages presented themselves. II

A good story is told Of Mr.. Raymond
and the Lotos Club. The comedian
persuaded number of the members OF
the club to appear on the stage, for one
night only, as jurors in the trial scene In
ga Gilded Age" conditionally that their
names should not be known. Prior to
the commencement of the piece, it be-
came known that the newspapers had
been furnished with full list of the
amateurs, who, nevertheless, instead OF
Withdrawing from their engagement,
determined to punish Raymond in. an
other way. The entire point of the last
scene in the play depends upon the jury
promptly delivering verdict OF "Not
GUILTY." but when the time came, Fore
man Shaw very solemnly answered,
sGuilty!'
There was pause, dead silence, and
then roar of laughter from the large
audience.
ooh, Foreman!" gasped Raymond,
"You don't mean it-you mean right the
other way''
ssGuilty!" repeated the foreman, and
the action Of the play was completely
stopped.
Raymond saw it would be of no avail
to poll the jury; they were evidently
unanimous in sticking to their verdict.
81 move, your honor" cried he, sthat
that jury be allowed to retire for consul
tation," and then. in whisper, entreat-
ed the jokers to s1et up"
The appeal was successful. The fore
man gravely informed the court that the
jury desired to changed their verdict to
one of "Not Guilty" the supers shouted,
the heroine was indicated, the audi
ence applauded, and the curtain fell.

Iiederkrans Societu.

In 1867 afaction of the German society
seeded, and what is known as the Lieder-
kranz Singing society came into exist
ence. The society organized with Fl. H.
Miller as president and Papa Esch as
leader. The development and growth of
the society has been steady, and it has
accomplished worthy work in Guilt
waiting taste for music.
1t is on good footing financially and
in very prosperous condition. In 1870
the Leiderkranz society succeeded in car
rying off the prizes at the musical con-
vention at Minneapolis, and in 1S77it won
the first honors at the Saltwater conven-
ton under the leadership Prof. Kerker.
The present officers are Peter Heck, pres
ident; Peter Kirst. secretary, and Chas.
Rapp, treasurer.
Both of these societies have connected
with them mixed choruses and have pro-
duced in most acceptable manner some
operas, and the German society has a
dramatic section that produces every
month during the winter months some
plays. Othello, The Merchant OF Venice
and other classical plays have been re-
produced by the German society recently
in most acceptable manner.

4 Wonderful Memory

Julia Rosewald, the prima donna with
the Abbott opera company, has, perhaps,
the most astonishing memory on the lyric
stage. Her repertoire consists of sixty
eight operas, in nine of which she sings
double roles. Besides this marvellous Sc
lection she adds ten oratorios, and what
is more wonderful still, she memories
the entire work and will instantly detect
the slightest error in harmony or instru-
mentation: The rapidity with which she
studies is almost incredible. On one oc-
casion, to save the company, she studied
an entirely new role in twenty-four con-
secutive hours, and without rest ap-
peared in the part without an error. This
is vouched for by the conductor, Tomasi,
and the entire company.
AS child she excelled as a violinist,
and now she is admitted by musicians to
be one of the leading prima donnas on the
American stage. Cary, Kellogg and
Abbott have had their day; now she will
have hers. She speaks fuently French,
English, German and Italian.

Miss Gertrude Cor5ett.

Many st. Paul friends will be pleased
to learn that Miss Gertrude Corbett has
returned from several years absence
abroad and will visit the home of her
youth in professional capacity. She
prepared herself while abroad to as
sumo the leading parts in the
most prominent French, German
and Italian operas and returned to this
country with view of filling very flatter-
ing engagements which were awaiting
her. Encountering stormy passage in
crossing the ocean she received injuries,
by a sudden lurch of the ship, which
prevents her engaging for the present
in the exacting work of the heavy operas
and she accordingly accepted temper
airy position in Haverly's patience"
opera company, taking the part of Lady
Jane IN that most popular production.
She played very successful engagement
in New Y ork the leading papers of that
city speaking in the highest terms of
both her vocal execution and her acting.
The company appear in Chicago this
week, and may continue their tour to st.
Paul. If they should, Miss Corbett can
be assured of hearty welcome from q
multitude of friends in her old home,
who will rejoice at an opportunity to
again hear her charming voice.

Shooting AaCay a Bear.
From the Wood River Times.

About 10 O'Clock last Monday evening
a lady living on First avenue, in Wood
River, CAL, was followed home from
Main street by what she took to be a
large Newfoundland dog. Arriving
home, she paused at the door to open it,
but it was some time before she succeed
ed. During this delay the animal got
quite close to her, and as he seemed
harmless the lady called him Her surprise
may be imagined when, on striking light
she saw huge, bald-fa bear looking
at her, showing his teeth as if grlnning at
her mistakel More dead than alive, the
lady opened the door, and gathering her
skirts as women sometimes do, began
"shooing" the bear. Bruin, as if appre-
ciating the gravity of the situation, hur-
ried out, whereupon the frightened lady
fell into chair, and did not recover her
presence of mind for at least fifteen min
utes, when she ran to aneighbor's and re-
lated her adventure.

was Prof. Zenzius, whose place has been
filled IN turn by Papa Esch,. DR.. Zahonyi,
Prof. Manner and Prof. PREM, and at
present by Prof Manner again;
The affairs of the German society are
in hourishing condition and its financial
standing is on most solid footing.
Among the bright trophies OF its career
are the first three prizes at the WinOna,

OVER THE OCEAN.
FRANCE.
NEW CONSTITUTION.

NEW CONSTITUTlONs
PARIS, Jan. 14.-In the chamber of depu-
ties Gambetta assembled the tribune aud read
his bill for revision of the constitution. The
principal points of the bill are as follows:
voting separately instead of by the senate
alone. Instead Of senatorial delegates which
have been chosen by the communes, one to be
elected by each 500 electors. The principle OF
the scrutln de liste to be inscribed IN the con-
stitution, the details to be subsequently settled
by ordinay bill. The senate to be deprived OF
the power of restoring items. stricken from the
budget of the chambers of deputies. The final
clause of the bill provides for dscontinuance
of public prayers at the opening of the legis-
lature.
The preamble to Gampetta's bill says.
France has manifested by the recent elections
desire for wise and moderate revision of the
constitution. The principle of the scrutin
DeListe is coralling of universal suffrage
and will secure sincerity involving independ-
ence of action to those elected. 1t therefore
became necessary to settle this question
promptly. Matters of detail and supplication
are reserved for the end of the present legisla-
tive term.
At this announcement reading of the bill
was interrupted by various remarks of ap-
proval and dlsapprova1. Gambetta added: "We
shall prove to you in this discussion in the
bureau that vital interest is at stake.
We will not ask urgency. You can decide as
to that after the preliminary consideration of
the bill.''

Private Signal Corps, U. s. A.
Covered With Gold.

It is curious fact that Russia, one of
the poorest Of civilized countries, makes
greater parade of wealth in one respect
than any other state. The domes Of all
the great churches in st. Petersburg,
Moscow, and other large towns, are
plated with gold nearly one-quarter of
an inch thick. The new church of the
Savior represents value of fully $751;
100000. The Isaac Cathedral in st.
Petersbugh may be safely credited with
at least twice that amount. So strong,
however, is the old Slav belief in the in
violable sanctuary of ssholy places. -
that, during countless seasons of wide
spread and bitter distress, no attempt
has ever been made to plumber the gold
thus temptingly exposed. Indeed, one
of the finest churches in st. Petersburg,
the Kazan Cathedral, owes it's massive
shrine to the plumber taken by the Cos
sacks in 1872.

At the beginning of his theatrical ca

At the beginning of his theatrical ca
reer, Mr.. w. J. Florence, the popular
comedian, played general utility" at
the Lyceum Theatre, New York, then
under the management Of Mr.. John
Brougham. Among the new pieces pro-
duced by that gentleman was one that
created no little sensation at its first re-
presentation. It was called ga Row at
the Lyceum Theatre, or Greenroom
Secrets" Each member of the company
appeared on the stage as himself or her
self, wearing everyday costume, and
the scene was the green-rOcm OF, the
theatre. The performance was exceed
ingly realistic, and went off capitaIy,
until the entrance of Miss Buggins, a
debutante, who-as previously ar
ranged after looking over the part al
lotted to her, objected to the ''business,
and insisted on having something more
tragic. While she was making matters
disagreeable on the stage, astout middle
aged man, dressed in Quaker garb, rose
in the centre of the stalls, and exclaimed:
'That woman looks for all the world
like Clementina! Her voice is very like,
the form is the same" After a pause,
he added, cit is my wifer' and rushed
toward the footlights, shouting, "Co1ne
off the stage. you miserable woman!"
The audience, at first amused, grew
angry, and cries of ''Put him out!" ''3it
DOWN. ssPolice' rang through the
house. Up in the third tier, visible to
all, was red-shirted fireman, who loud
~ threatened he wovld give "Old Broad
brim' sound thrashing if he attempted
to lay hand on the young woman, and
was presently seen rushing down stairs
to carry his threat into execution. The
house was in an uproar; ladies tried to
escape from the theatre, while gentlemen
vainly endeavored to restore order. At
last the irate husband clambered over
the orchestra, the fireman close behind
him, to be seized by couple Of police
officers, and dragged upon the stage.
When there, they were made to face the
house, and Immediately the regulation
semi-circle was formed, the rhymed
stag" spoken, and the curtain dropped,
almost before the bewildered audience
had time to recognize in the indignant
husband, Mr.. Brougham himself; in the
recovered wife, Mrs. Brougham; in the
red-shirted defender of the young wo-
man, MIR. W. J. Florence; and to realize
the fact that the whole scene had been
previously rehearsed, and that they had
been very cleverly hoaxed.

The year will enter fine and moderate
iu the majority of sections, but with fall
ing temperature toward or on the Sd, and
cold snap, varying in intensity according
to location, between the 3rd and 5th days.
Heavy snowfalls probable throughout
Central Canada and southwark to New
York and Washington, with considerable
buster about the end of the week (7th).
1t is probable that the second week will
give very cold term in northern and
western sections, moderating toward the
end of the week to heavy snowfalls mean
ada and northern states and rains in more
southern sections. Unsettled and stormy
but moderate weather will likely char
acterize the entry of the third week, with
blustry and drifty weather in the west
and rain to the southwark, followed by
still mifder weather and alterations
of snow, sleet and rain in northern Sec
lions. An occasional fine day between
these disturbances. The 25th is likely
to bring lower temperature. Week
likely to end mild, with snow and rains
extending southwark to New York and

journalism in Japan
[London News.]


Among the numerous evidences OF the
Japanese people in acquiring the habits
and fashions of Western civilization, none
is perhaps more striking than the humble
but not altogether unsuccessful efforts of
the native papers to import into that emil
nently progressive country the true style
and flavor of what is known as society
Journalism. Thus in the Osaka Nsppo we
read that "the female hair dresser who
waits upon the lady of certain states
man was requested by that parsonage to
retail to him all the news she heard in
other private houses. The woman" it's
added, ssthus acquired influence, and every
month one or two of her friends received
situations under government. Now she
is sought by many persons, and even
men of education are paying court to her
in order to secure her kindly notice. :"
This. it must be confessed, is not a bad
attempt at the vaguely virulent style OF
gossip. A little further on we come upon
another paragraph not unskillfully COM
bining this style with the more directly
personal. ssSeveral detectives" it is OBJ
served, care said to have arrived in Kio-
to, and to be watching the behavior OF
those who are intimate with the imperial
princes and mobiles who reside in that
city.'' On the other hand, the Kobe
Saimpo seems to prefer to Guilt
vate the valuable art OF ap-
pearing to be on easy terms
with high official and ex-officlal per-
sonages; for here we read that 'when
Mr.. Okuma was in Office the great respect
with which he was treated precluded him
from accurately ascertaining the feelings
and wishes of the people. Now, how
ever, that he has resigned" we learn that
che can freely mix In all public gather
ings, and is only anxious to receive lnvl-
tations" it is difficult to say what may not
be expected of country which suddenly
throwing off the exclusiveness and self
conceit Of ages, begins to develop another
sort of civilization at this tremendous
mace

A MUSEMENT NOTES.

The attention of the amusement going
public in St. Paul last week was divided
between Haverly's Mastodon Ministries
and the revised and so-called moral ver-
sion of ''East Lynne" The opponents
of mini strelsy performed to packed houses
on Wednesday and Thursday evenings,
and as burned cork representatives Of the
ultra-e eccentric type they have no peers
The ca acity of the company for chasing
away dull care and creating a laugh IS
immense, and they gave a varied and
most enjoyable entertainment.
The curtain went up on "East Lynne"
Friday night, and it held the boards up
to last evening. The audiences, IN,
Guiding last nights entertainment and
the matinee, were uniformly large, ana
as prese nted by Miss Ada Gray and the
Fifth venue company, the engagement
was fair success, while the performances
were as enjoyable as 1t is possible 10
make this sort of drama.
In the dual roll of Lady lsaoel ana
Madame Vine Miss Gray displays to good
advantage her capacity for emotional ACT
ing, her representation OF the latter char-
acter@ being particularly touching and
tender. The support last night and at
the matinee was quite as fair and salts
factory hs at the opening performance.
AS prese nted by thecompany East Lynne
abounds in the lugubrious order of exer-
ton and affords abundant material for
tears. 1t affects the ladies, and there IS
no end of wet eyes and believing of
handkerchlefs. As such it is success.

of the st. Paul Arion society will take
place at the Atheneum tomorrow even
