WHY THE PLAY WAS INTERRUPTED.

Some of the nice children on Common wealth avenue recently proposed to sur prise their parents with dramatic per formance with the distinct understanding that no adult was to witness @ rehearsal or to ask about the nature of the play written by young miss of ten years, who was to assume the role of heroine, assisted by 8 lad of the same age. On the night of the performance the parents of the children assembled in the front drawing room of one of the large residences and and waited for the drawing aside of the portieres with commendable patience. The first scene represented the wedding of hero and hero inc and the departure of the former for the wilds of the west, where he was to reap his fortune in raising cattle and mining. This went off finely, and the portieres were closed with @ loud burst of applause. A lapse of ten years were supposed to have passed between the first and second acts, and when the act commenced the young husband had returned, and his wife, not looking day older, greeted her.spouse in formal manner, and even asked him to remain and dine with her, which he con- scented to do. While seated at the table eating ice cream the husband told how he had toiled for wealth and acquired mil lions, all for the sake of the dear wife he had left behind This had such an effect on the matron that she finished the ice cream, sighed to think there was no more on the table, and then addressed her hus- band, speaking earnestly and firmly |: ''You have done well," she said, "but while you have been at work have not been idle. You shall see what I have ac- complished." She touched 8 bell and @ white-capped bonne entered the room, leading a toddling infant year old and followed by nine others of various ages, one for each year of married life. The actors to this day do not understand why the play was interrupted by shouts of laughter and applause from the fathers and mothers who were present At any rate, they say the play was success, but the parents think it little Frenchy in construction and plot.-Bostom Globe.

AN HONEST JOB.

It ought not to be cause of surprise or graduation that an examination of the ac- counts of the great bridge discloses neither stealing nor dishonesty but inasmuch as this great work scarcely has parellel in this respect in the annals of modern 'jobs," it would be unfair to withhold the highest encomiums from the officials who have done their whole duty to the public hon. estly and squarely.
 For many months the experts have been at work checking off bills against accounts, examining contracts, and thoroughly over hauling the work from the foundations of the bridge to its opening. The experts had to consider the, real estate used for bridge purposes, the cost and amount of material, and the cost and distribution of labor. Their work is now done, and their report will be presented to the Mayors this week. It appears that the experts have reached the conclusion that the bridge has been honestly and economically built; that considering the magnitude of the work the mistakes made have been singularly few in number and small in extent and that the books have been remarkably well kept. The magnitude of the task may be understood from @ single instance. Every one of 50, 900 bills has been gone over, item by item every figure on the books has been carefully checked off, and every con- tract has been scrupulously examined. That no errors should have been found was not to be expected. A few trifing mistakes in addition are reported, but they are insignificant Several contracts were found to have been changed, but the va- riations from the original figures are re- ported to have been carefully noted down and explained. A little item, for example, of half cent a pound for iron was ob- served the engineer responsible for it was immediately called upon for an expla- nation. He made it at once corrugated iron had been substituted for the material originally provided, but, as he showed, the cost of the higher priced material by the pound was more than offset by the smaller amount needed, and the bill was therefore reduced by the change. This is typical instance, and the closest scrutiny failed to show 8 single suspicious or unaccountable variation.
 Such @ report, of course, is final an- swer to thoughtless and malicious scandal. It will be accepted by the the people of New York and Brooklyn as compliment to themselves as communities that great public work, begun at time when society was greatly demoralized and unexampled frauds were in progress all over the coun- try, was carried to completion without the improper expenditure of dollar. r.-Scieqa- life A1nericau

THE HENCEFORTHNESS OF THE SUISSE
 QUENTLY. ...--

BY CONCORD SCHOOL PHILOSOPHERS.
 We all know, or profess to know, and 1t is even patent to those who are not cog nizant of the fact, that ill all ages, from the very remotest to the seons in the misty future, man has, or has not, according to his inalienable rights and perogatives in the premises, through the organism of the mind-which connects the underestimate bleness with the intelligibility of the dy- manic energy of the body-an underlying, inherent inclination, on multifarious occa- sions, as if propelled by an unseen force, to seek the magnetism and stimulation that is co-existent with, and analogous to-, Tremendous extraction of the plant of the genus ha1naatlahs.
 This hypothesis may appear novel to many, and excite sensation of Notness in the thinkableness of the skeptical and yet, if the whereforeness of the however much governs the gravitating force pro- porhonate to its elementary constituent ism, and equally repels the whereasness of the sophistry. whereon is based it's compre- hensiveness- always admitting that it's sub- finest possibilities are not negatived by its ngelatableness-the deduction is ire sistible that the organic structure of man is so complex and revolutionary that his UcCOAAcS 10 iO say, the humulus fiuidness acting A the cephalic extremity of the nervos n induces the individual thus affected
 perience degree of hilarity, not alWa disassociated with pugnacity, entirely for> eign to his normal condition otherwisely.
 Having thus clearly demonstrated the whichness of this incontrovertible fact, let us proceed to the equally lucid hypothetic proposition that the magnitudability of the theory of mans immutability, poison ed, as it has been, by the miasma of Eyo- lutionism m-disregarding the substantial entities emanating from the equilibrium osity of the connection of the Hereness-is 1t, we ask, under these differentations which permeate the upper strata of Social ism, phenomenal that man, wrestling with the awful tangibility of the fauces for that lubricating humulus extraction, should strike friend for the wherewithal to ac- quire the maltic lubricant so essential to his -existingness
 Thus we have, with quite as much force as lucidness, dissected the vital principle of the Subsequently in it's relation to the Henceforthness, and shown that man is no ignorant bioplast-no mere conglomera- tion of a heterogeneous Atomic Nothing ness, nor an invisible invisibility, animated by a Whyness antipodal to the existing laws of Materialism but sentiment Something audacious in his audaciousness, and at times as adamantine in his facial area of the Rock of Gibraltar-if not more so.

 AN ENTHUSIASTIC ENDoRsEMENT.-Gent Whoever you are, don't know; but I thank the Lord and feel grateful to you to know that in this world of adulterated medicines there is one compound that proves and does all it advertises to do, and more. Four years ago had slight shock of palsy, which un- nurved me to such an extent that the least ex- citement would make me shake like the ague. Last May was induced to try Hop Bitters. I used one bottle, but did not see any change j; another did so change my nerves that they are now as steady as they ever were. It used to take both hands to write, but now my good right. hand writes this. Now, if you continue to manufacture as honest and good an article as you do, you will accumulate an honest fortune and confer the greatest blessing on your fellow-men that was ever conferred on mankind.

You have an undoubted right to stop a newspaper when you feel so disposed, upon payment of all arrearages. Do not hesi- tate to do so on account of "tenderness" for the editor. Don't you suppose he would stop buying sugar of you, or meat, clothing, dry goods, etc., if he thought he was not getting his moneys worth, and why should you not exercise the same privilege with him? And when you dis continue paper, do so manfully. Don't be so spiteful as to throw it back to the postmaster with a contemptuous ''I don t want it any longer!'' and have "refused" written on the margin, and the paper re- turned to the editor. No gentleman ever stopped it in that way, no matter if his head is covered with gray hairs that should be honorable. If you do not longer wish to receive newspaper, write note to the editor like man, saying so-and be sure that arrearages are paid. This is the way to stop newspaper.
