LITERARY NOTES.

-The'publishers of The Century have ar
ranged with Alphonse Daudet, the great
French novelist, for a series of reminis-
cences and pen portraits of promenent
Frenchmen and others, to appear in The
Century during 1884.
"A group of papers descriptive of scenes
from several novelists, including Haw-
thorne, George Eliot, and George W. Gable,
will appear in The Century for 1884. Harry
Fem, Alfred Parsons, and Joseph Pennell
will furnish Illustrations.
Under the title 'The New Astronomy"
will appear, in the coming volume Of The
Century, several popular articles by Profess
sor s. P. Langley, describing, with many
illustrations, the most interesting of the re-
cent discoveries in the sun and stars, and
introducing (what to many readers will be
new) the consideration of our own physical
relations to the heavenly bodies as shown
by the study of celestial physics.
The series of separate papers by DR..
Egg!eston on "Life in the Thirteen Colo
nies,' which has been appearing in The
Century during the past year, will be con
tinued during the coming year. the next
being on "Husbandry in the Colonies" and
describing the attempts at silk and wine
culture, with many o'her curious expert
ments and visionary projects. Other papers
will treat of commerce, and the social con-
| ditions, manners and customs of the colo
uists. The pictures which accompany these
| papers will all be of historic interest and

A Feminine Revenge.
[Progress. ]

They were in the surf together They
were both swimmers, and both rather ven
turesome. Finding herself little beyond
her depth, the lady turns to her e, cort aud
remarks the fact: eyes, ] see we are" is his
comment, as he promptly leaves his com
panion's side and puts to shore. She reviews
the situation calmly for moment, waits for
the next breaker, and comes riding proudly
on its crest; there was dangerous CLEAN in
the eye, however, aud she took swift re-
venge. The gallant feels her little stabs
every time he asks permission to bathc a
lady, and meets with stereotyped refusal;
"Thanks, no; 1 might get out too far"
The daily gazette., 1883-09-06
A REFRAoToeY AuDIENoE.
The Manager Obliged TO Ask Them to
Leave at the Close of the Play.


A very sad thing occurred at late per-
formance given at Laramie City. AT the
close OF the last act one o. the principle per-
formers is instantly killed. 1t is then the
duty Of the audience to rise, pick up its um-
hrella and walk home. Sometimes, how
ever, the audience is not familiar with the
play and does not 90 home. 1t waits for
more death and carnage before its awful
thirst for blood is glutted.
That was the case at Laramie two weeks
ago. The stage hired man, who hauls the
dead off into the dressing room, waited
patiently, but the people would not go. In
order TO get the full value Of their dollar
they desired TO see the post-mortem exami-
nation, They could not go home until It
had been settled that the villain was fully
and thoroughly dead.
There he lay, with his ear against a kero-
sene footlight, suffering, at 80 per week, aud
the audience absolutely refusing to 90 home
and allow the man to revive OF to reguieScdt
| IN pace The curtain, though loaded at the
bottem with telegraph pole, failed to come
| down, aud the legs of the avr niger and other
members of the troupe fitted past the space
left by the unruly curtain, and the dead
villain lay on his back, having yielded up
his lite four times that same week in the
same manner, besides carrying the heavy
trunks OF the beautiful actress up two flights
