How Barrett Crushed Strawberries,


Perhaps the most ridiculous incident
occurring IN the history of our local
stage took place the other evening dur
ing Lawrence Barrett's performance in
Francesca da Rimini at the Califor-
MIA. just as the tragediau was tearing
passion to very tattcrs IN one of the
stormiest scenes of the play, lanky
looking granger, with hayseed in his
hair, arose from his seat in one of the
stage boxes, and leaning forward with a
wooden tray IN his hand, s1id:
" Mister Barrett, I'm 'pinted by COM
mItiee of yer Petaluma friends to pre-
sent yer with this box OF the biggest
strawberries ever raised on this coast"
The thunderstruck actor gazed at the
speaker for moment in dead silence;
then with terrific kick that distributed
the strawberries equally over the house,
he screamed:
"D-you and your strawberries" and
the curtain came down with a rush amid
the tornado of laughter that followed.
1t required five ushers to remove the
infuriated delegate from the milk county
from the theater. At two o'clock this
morning he was still watching the stage
door armed with club, although MIR.
Barrett had long before been carried
round to hfs hotel concealed in the big
drum.

htage-Driying in California.

The skill of the drivers in the down
ward drives is something wonderful.
The roads are a continuous sue
cession of the letter S, winding 10
and out about the heads of gulches, in
many places the turn being so sharp as
to let the three teams of horses form the
three sides of it. They are also rough
and rutty at this season of the year, and
at the rapid motion the toughest places
must be avoided.
The driver, on his high seat, with his
six lines and long whip in hand, and one
foot on the brake, with the other as a
brace ON the foot board, appears to
have as perfect control of the whole
turnout as if it was puppet. He will
throw those six horses from one side OF
the road to the other to straddle rut OF
avoid stone as if they were one animal.
The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1883-07-14

Sometimes the hub will serapc the bank
on the upper side, and the next instant
the wheels will be on the very verge on
the down side. When approaching a
sharp corner and ones impulse is to
slow down, crack will go his whip, and
we dash around it like gust of wind.
The reins seem to be nerves, or living
tissues, conveying the drivers thoughts,
and their pulses beat and their hearts
throb In unison.
An accident seldom happens with
those drivers, for extreme caution,
coupled with absolute control of their
team and vehicle and perfect knowledge
of the laws of stage motion, governs all
their acts. They are compelled to make
rapid progress down hill to compensate
for the slower motion up. and they have
learned by experience all its safeguards
and practice them. One driver will
make this drive of seventy-five miles in
to the mountains one day, and back
again the next, every day of his life,
until he knows every turn and rut and
stone on the line, and his sinews are as
strong as the lash of his whip.

4 Street.Car Scene,

[From the Detroit Post and Tribune
1t was Cass Avenue car. A lady
richly dressed got in, and in making
change for fare dropped coin into the
bottom of the crowded vehicle. Two
gentlemen at once volunteered to find it.
"Was it a large denomination ?" asked
one as he got down on his knees and
bored with his thumb and fingers be-
tween the Stats.
The lady took out two gold pieces and
shook up her purse before she answered;
then she made running commentary of
figures on the tips Of her fingers, and
said, closing her purse:
''N-o; perhaps the driver can find it.
I'll ride to the end of the route to see if
he does.
The two gentlemen bumped heads in
their eagerDess TO get the coin, but at
last they gave it up, and all subsided
into sitting or standing positions, when
the lady began to poke the floor with her
parasol, and they all returned to the
search again, until, hot and tired, they
desisted from sheer exhaustion.
Then the lady rang the bell, and as
she turned to leave the car she said to
the driver: ''If you find it when you
go to the barn you may keep it. 1t was
only penny"
The Fourth of July remarks that were
made were worthy OF a ward meeting.

Picking up Deep Sea Cables.


The laying of telegraph cables is now
so common that the description of the
machinery for picking up broken one
will be read with interest. 1t consists
of a rope about an inch and quarter in
diameter, made from the strongest hemp,
with interwoveu wires of fine steel. The
grapnel at the end is merely solid shaft
of iron some two feet long, and weighing
about 100 pounds, and prolonged into
six blunt hooks, which much resemble
the partly closed fingers of the human
hand. In picking up the cable in deep
water the Minia, after reaching the
waters near the break, let's out her rope
and grapnel, then takes course alright
angles to the cable and at some distance
from the fracture, so that the broken
ends may not slip through the grapnel.
The grapnel rope is attached to a dyha-
mometer, which exactly measures the
strain on the rope, and shows unerring-
ly when the cable has been caught. If
the grapnel fouls a rock the strain rises
very suddenly to high point; but the
exact weight of the cable being known
the dynamometer signals by the steady
rate Of increase its hold on the cable far
below. The ease and certainty with
which cables are picked up in these days
is amazing. A while ago one of the lines
Of the Anglo-American Company was
caught without trouble at depth of
two and a quarter miles near the middle
of the Atlantic. Capt. Trott, of the
Nina, who has won great fame for his
skill and ingenuity in cable matters, but
recently picked up the French cable $50
miles eff ST. Pierre, and in four hours
from the time the grapnel was let go had
the cable spliced and IN working con-
dition. The splicing is a work of great
delicacy ard skill, and when accom-,
plished by trained fingers the spliced
part can scarcely be distinguished from
the main cord.

An Engagement Declared off.

A New York dispatch says: There was
CONSERVATION in social circles at Flush
ing, l.. l., when the news was received
marriage OF Miss Mary Van Rensselaer,
King and Gen. Schuyler Hamilton. The
young lady is the daughter of Hon. Jonn
A. King, granddaughter of the ex-gover-
nor of the state, OF the same name, and
greatgranddaugh of Rufus King, whose
name figures prominently in An2eriee,a
history. Miss King is about 40 years old.
Gen, Hamilton is a SCARED war veteran.
He was aid-de-camp TO Gen. Scott in the
Mexican war. He was run through with
Il lance ut Mora Flores. At Monterey,
under Gen. Taylor, he was shot down
and left for dead. He had his skull
fractured on the field of battle at anoth
er time He marched as private IN the
Seventh New York, when Lincoln called
for help to save the capital, in April,
1861. He cut the first telegraph wires
under Gen. Butler in the late war Of the
rebellion. He has been burned tifty-four
times up and down his spine to help him
for wounds received in battle. He has
carried q three inch seaton Of oil silk on
TIE back of his neck and another on his
right arm for long time. Though well
advanced in years and exceedingly gray,
he is very active. For few years he re-
sided on farm IN Jamaica, but recently
his residence and out buildings were
burned, and since then he has resided in
New York. He met Miss King at the
paternal mansion in Jamaica aud wooed
and won her against the opposition Of her
family, who, however, have succeeded
ia defeating the union. When the en-
gagement had been announced in New
York society, Mrs. John Hamilton, the
generals daughter-in law, gave con-
versazoine in honor of the event, which
was attended by representatives Of the
Astor and Vanderbilt families.

between the two calendars, which is now
twelve days, will become thirteen days,
and will remain so until 2100, the year
2O0OO being a leap-year in both the
Julian and Gregorian calendars. The
rule for leap-year must be thus stated,
according to the Gregorian calendar,
which differs from the Julian only in a
special treatment of the century years
All years whose index number 1S83 is

Protestant countries the year 1900 will
not be leapyear, they all having
adopted the Gregorian calendar. In
countries where the Greek Church is
established Russia and Greece, the old
Julian calendar still holds, and those
countries will count it leap-year. After
