Arab Pasha recently gave orders
to have the life of Napoleon I, trans
lated into Arabic, saying to his friends:
Napoleon is my model; l will do
what he did-nay, l will do more. l
will found an Arabian empire" He
has also tried to play the role of a
prophet by frequently quoting the
Koran and protesting to have fami-
liar interviews with the ghost of
Mohammed. One day. a month ago.
while on his way to the mosque, he
suddenly stopped and stared wildly at
the air, as if seeing a vision. Then
he stamped upon the ground, and
cried out that a gun was buried un-
derneath the spot. Excavations
were afterward made, and, surely
enough, gun was found at depth
of several feet.

In the beautiful drama of Ion, a
dying lover is asked by his betrothed

meet again, to which he answers: 81

Such was the consolation Of Pagan
philosophy to the dying, and to the
afflicted friends who could only lrpk
on and weep. 1t was better than
nothing--better than the despairing
eloquence of Ingersoll, emphasized by
his own sobing for, the near and dear
one who "went down like a ship in q
storm" But the consultations of the
christian religion, in the prospect of
death, as evidenced by the numerous
inscriptions upon the tombs in our
are far more cheering and
assuring to the dying, as well as con-
solong to the iising, than the specu-
Iations of Pagan philosophy, or the
eloquent platitudes of atheism.

And this was Niagara, and there was moth

out. God bless him there he was; and
there, too, in the midst of the foaming wa

Peer toward the east and the west
The Sowcr He knOWeih and lie knoweth best.
Meteors flash forth and expire,

Vanishing days as finishing tale

Why keep Us waiting IN Giinness and cold!

Bm Arp's Vie,c Of Preachers.

I like the preachers. They hold ns back
from going to extremes. They are the con
seryatiycs. They are good citizens and set
us a good example. They are the balance
wheels of society, the scotch to the Wagon,
the air-brakes TO the tain, the pendulum to
the clock. They are like the Sabbath that
gives Us rest and peace. They are to socie-
ty what the jnicc is 10 the law. ] love 'em
all. and when they are hlotted out which
God forbid, / want to 60, too. In sickness,

If they can't let the little chaps see tie cir
Gus, do let EN- go to the procession. By

be trusted within the canvas and see the
pretty horses in the ring, and the men ride

laugh at him because he is such fool. !

That phylosophy which secures advantage
from disappointment is one Of the best OF
possessions. This was excc.icr.y illustrated
at the Patti concert on Saturday afternoon
last, where a young mathematician, who
was unable to see anything by reason Of 4
huge hat which was worn by a young wo-
man before him, set himself aboutu;i!izins
the structure in the int,rests of his fsyori.e
science. lie observed that as he sat back in
his seat the hat completely filed the stage
from side to side, and taking Oh. his pencil,
and calculating that the affair was two feet
behind it. he had the exact dimensions of
the singers field Of action to add tohis store
Of knowledge by the time the entertainment
was over. So he went home serene in the
conviction that after all, lis expenditure for
a seat had not been wasted. The moral Of
this instance IS eyident-those Of Us who
propose to attend public assemblies frequent

study of mathematics.-- Boston JoTHA

Fun on the Bristol.

Commencing on Thursday evening
next the Jarrett & Rice combination will
appear at the Opera house in the great
musical extravaganza, of "Fun on the
Bristol" characterized by the New York
Herald as the funniest play on record.
Of its production in Denver recently a
local critic speakssa as follows:
The "Fun on the Bristol party now per-
forming at the Opera house is the best attrac-
ton of the kind that ever has visited Denver.
There is little plot to the piece they give, but
al excellent opportunity is presented for those
specialties in which each member Of the cast
is so proficient. Sheridan's Widow O'Brien is
d remarkable creation, and is entitled to place
beside the Joshua Whitcomb of Denman
Thompson, Billy Florence's Bardwell Slote,
and Raymond's Mulberry Sellers. 1t is a clean,
natural, artistic delineatiOn. Carrie Daniels is
one of the most beautiful women on the stage,
and Jennie Yeamans is the very incarnation OF
graceful sprightliness. Lulu Evans is a dain-
y, spirituelle little lady with the sweetest
voice imaginable and charming stage manners,
her singing as LeOnora is much better than is
frequently heard on the grand opera stage.
Richard Walden is coneedeily the finest bur.
lesque artist III the country, and George Rich
ards has no equal in his eccentric saltatory
line. And so on, to the humblest member, the
company if as nearly perfect as could be wish
ed, The business done this week has been
enormous. The Saturday matinee will be the
biggest ever seen in Denver.

stars Behind the Scenes.

Those awkward looking supernumer-
aries know a good deal about actors and
actresses, and have their favorites, just
as the public does, though their likes and
dislikes are apt to have nothing to do
with art, but rest wholly upon personal
grounds. 1t does not matter straw to
them. says an interesting writer in the
Philadelphia Times, whether one be ex-
allied in the kingdom of Thespisior not; if
one be kind and socialor say, rather
acknowledgement all they ask in re-
turn for their infinite good will and
their cheering applause when on
off nights they are passed up
front. Now, there Is Lolita. She
is just as great a favorite behind the
scenes as in front. She comes in with a
smile and nod for every one. She isn't
assuming in the least, and returns kind
"thank you' for every little service. Of
course all this is quite irresistible to the
boys, who are only too happy to serve
her, and some soft but cunning fellows
get in her way just to be asked to move
aside. The s'supes" of the Walnut used
to be head over heels in love with her.
They presented her with that elegant
banjo -rosewood inlaid with peril, and
said to have cost over $l00-that she uses
In her plays. She was the recipient also
of many beautiful devices in flowers at
their hands ALI these marks of devotion
Lolita of course reciprocated. Ali the old
fellows are gone from the Walnut now,
so she doesn't receive such tokens any
more. She is accompanied everywhere
by her mother and she doesn't require any
further projections Her mamma is quite
match for the average man. Petite,
even more so than Lolita herself-black-
eyed, gray haired and quick in her move
ments, she looks like an older edition of
the popular little coincidence. She is
methodical and business like, and has
decided opinions upon certain subjects,
particularly upon the 1rreproachabillty of
her daughters character. Lolita spent
some time in French convent, perfect
ing her education, and she speaks French
fiuently, though with an imperfect &C
cent. Raymond'sa jolly good fellow.
No airs; not bit. They say his real
name is O'Brien. He was quite poor till
he met with the "Golden Age"-golden
age to him. He IS great favorite in the
West. The supers like him because he
has not forgotten that he was not always
so prosperous. 1t makes great differ
ence whether ones memory be good in
that respect or not-not only with
supernumeraries but with everybody
Booth, Edwin Booth, nearing so years
old, stopped, with thoughtful face an6
deep black eyes, and hair dark as night
and touched with silver. His distin
guished characteristic is quiet dignity
There have been many SORROWS in his lift
and many triumphs. He looks much like
ones ideal clergyman. He don't have
much to say. Not because he can't. Oh
