the performance. The mans part was
the worst of all. His face was impossibly
disagreeable, hardly human. He sat and
howled, dwelling upon ono note until
the veins swelled in his neck, and he
grew almost black in the face. and his
eyes started, and one wondered why he
did not fall to the ground in fit. Then
he would utter few unintelligible words
and howl again, sustaining the one note
until it came out in waves of sound hor-
ribly painful to listen to. The place
itself might have been the worst and
most immoral in the world, but there
was no outward token of it either IN per-
formers or audience; but the spectacle
was SO degrading that we we're soon glad
to escape into purer atmosphere. These
institutions seem peculiar to Spain. They
possess neither music. wit nor beauty.

many may be bad enough and are often
coarse, voluptuous exhibitions in which
ill-motives and low lives are only too
conspicuous; but at least they possess
some sense and music; are Ineligible, If
nothing else; perhaps only too much so.
These popular performances in Spain are
worthy only of idiots and greater idiot,
to all appearance, than the hero of that
night. never was seen.-The Argosy.

A Cool Tramp and a Cool Maiden.

A well-known printers family met
with singular experience on Monday.
The daughter answered knock at the
door. An old tramp asked for 'a bite"
She didn't like his looks and told him so
and he left Shortly after his disappear
ance a neighbours daughter came in and
told the printers daughter chat the lat.

just been stolen by the man she had
turned from the door; that he had taken
them ali down and done them up in a
bundle before asking for the bite and
lugged them off at his jelsure. The two
young ladies started in pursuit. At the
Southport depot they learned that the
bundle and the man went down the rail-
road. They followed and soon overlook
him.
1--WE want those clothes you stole from
us!" said the printers daughter.
Him! Well, I don't know but you can
have EN-" said he, coolly turning over
the bundle.
''There's shirt or wrapper missingy
said she, after looking them over; NOV
what have you done with that?"
SCOT it on!' said the tramp opening
his vest to prove it.
well, off with it, them said the
plucky maiden.
"What! here?''
The maiden paused in predicament.
A gentleman friend was near and abe
hailed him, telling him about the
trouble.
The gentleman friend took the tramp
into the bushes near the engine works
and got the shirt.-Elmira Advertiser.

A DAY.

Sunrise fresh. and the daisies small
silver the lawn with their starlets fair:
Bnt the blossoms of neon shall be stately and
tall,
Tropical, luscious, of odors rare;
All, we'll
Noon shall be gorgeous beyond compare.
Hoon, and the sly is a binding glare:
The flowers have tainted while We aave
strayed;
We wandered too far to tend tn EN- there.
And they dropped FOR lack of the dew and
shade:
A., well.
Evening shall right the mistake we made.
Event ug tits chilly IN meadow and glade,
The last pale roe has died in the west,
The happy hour is long delayed.
Our wandering is but a long unrest;
All, we'll
We will home to the fireside. Home is best.
Nothing bat ashes gray No blest
Faint giiumer of light on roof or WALL
A weary search was this day long quest,
And on empty hands the shadows fall:
An, well
Yet us creep into bed and forget 1t ell.

of the first artillery regiment, and that
official hurriedly procured an excuse and

The late Czarine had a pocket hand
kerchief which cost her $500, seven
years labor and the eyesight OF the
brodeuse. In the days of Queen Bess it
was the castom for maids and gentle
women to give their favorites as tokens
of their love, little handkerchiefs about
three or four inches square wrought
round about, and with button or tasssl
ct each corner, and little ono IN the
middle, with silk and thread, the best.

that the middle might he seen. Gentle
men wore them in the haA as favors Of
their loves. Some cost sixpence, twelve
pence, and the richest sixteen pence. In
later times the lady's own handkerchief
was the most desired prize Of an ardent
swain. DIsrseli makes the lover in his
delirium exclaim: ''Is it not all .
dream?" He takes from his bosom the
handkerchief Of Henrietta Temple. He
recognizes upon it her magical initials
worked in her own dark hair.

The Sprague Estate.
Springfield (Mass) Republican

Springfield (h1aSs) Republican.
This is the present status of the vari-
Gus Sprague estates about Providence
after the auction sales of the summer:
Not long ago the house in Cranston,
owned and formerly occupied by
Amasa Sprague, was sold by auction,
but Amasa's furniture remained there
until about two weeks ago, when it
was removed to his place at Quid-
nessett, where he is now living. The
house at Cranston is at present IN the
care of a custodian. The famous
Canonchet is still held in possession
by Governor Sprague, although he is
not living there, and all the house
hold goods have been removed, leav-
ing the house entirely vacant, the
premises being left in the care of a
hired man. On July II the Fannie
Sprague mansion, on Young Orchard
avenue, was sold by auction to the
Union Company for $2S, 100, and a
few days afterward they offered for
mally to lease the premises to the ven
cradle lady during the remainder of
her life for the nominal sum of 81 per
month. This offer has not vet been
accepted, it being under consideration
