IHEAIRE.eoERs

The question which is asked by
theatrc-gocrs, lost in establishment
at the advance which s:sensation"
has made, is, will it last and keep
possession of the stage for few
years? Il hardly seems probable
that it can, as the appetite for this
kind Of thing must not be fed on the
old meats; that all dramatists
thsoughly well understand; some
thing new mast be given, and some
thing more highly spiced; but is this
possible? Has not every horror and
every bit of realism been seized hold
of by the Observation-Disclosures writer's?
If we travel as lar as the Standard,
in Shoseditcn, we shall see few
original sensations in tht new piece
by Mr.. James Willing, called The
RuStng Passion. One of the sen.
sations to be seen is the filing of a
real balloon on the stage-it actually
rises OF itself. Gas is not used, but
heated air; and the difficulty was at
first to get it 70 escape quickly, as
the balloon has TO collapse and let
the heroine fall into the sea. The
hot "a would not .rsh out at The
bottom Of the ba'loo,, and it was
therefore necessary 70 contrive a
mechanical opening at Tie top. This
is effecsua', and Che balloon is empty
in less than minute. In this
balloon voyage all the horrors of a
sudden descent into the sea and
peril Of drowning are to be realised,'
similar to what took place In the
Channel some few years ago, when
Frenchman and his wife nearly
lot their lives. In this piece there
is also stream of water tiliscd as
real rain. There is new piece
about to be introduced at tho
Adelphi, in which there is to be
real coalmine explosion and blow
up. Whatever are we coming to in
cheese days Of dramatic sensation

DAMON AND pyrHlas.

In the Laramie Boon,erd,,g, BIZ.
Nyc gives the following as the true
history of Damon and Pythias were
named after a popular secret organi-
eaton because :s,lcy were so solid on
each other. They thought more of
each other than anybody. They
borrowed chewing tobacco, and
were always social and pleasant.
They slept together and unitedly
"stood off" the landlady from
month TO month in the most cheerful
and harmonious manner. If Pytllias
snored in tie night like the blast of
fog horn, Damon did not get mad
and kick him in the stomach as some
would have done. He gently but
firmly took him by che nose and lifted
him up and down 70 The merry
ryihm of s'The Babies in Our Clock"
They loved each other in season and
out-of season. Thei,. affection was
like the soft bloom on the nose of
Wyoming legislator. 1t never grew
pale or wilted. 1t was always there.
If Damon was at the bat Pythias
was OH deck. If Damon went to
church and invited starvation, Py-
thias would go, too, and would vote
on the handsomcst baby until the
First National bank of Syracuse
would refuse to honor his checks.
But one day Damon got too much
Bulge and told The venerable and
colossal old royal hummer of Syra-
cuse, Dionysius what he thought of
him. Then Dionysius, told Che chief
engineer of the sausage grinder 10
turn on steam and prepare for buis-
ness. But Damon thought ofPythias,
and how Pythias hadn't SO much TO
live for as he had, and he made a
comp onisc by offering to put Py-
thias in soak while the only genuine
Damon went to see his gill, who
lived in Albany. Three days we're
given him 10 get around and redeem

think, be interesting to our readers:
The publication named is little

a guide in the art of successful tea
mixing. There are works not \ few
which treat of the history, growth,

time supplied by this little handbook
for the Tea trade. The present is a
colonial edition, and is issued by
Mr.. George Robertson, with the con-
sent Of the London publishers

A few remarks by Mr. j. o. Moody
serves to introduce the work and to
indicate its character. The opening
chapter is II the art Of tea blending,

marily designed for the guidance of
