The explosion of dynamite in London
brings that monumental blatherskite,
O'Donavan Rosa, to the surface like a
dirty scum on water. He comes into
public notice long enough to remark that
dynamite troubles in England have just
begun, and then he wraps himself up in
an air of impenetrable mystery, If n
were to judge O'Dynamite Rosa
from hi. language he would conceive him
to be a man who %pcrpetually wallowed
knee deep in human gore and vitals, and
whose very breath was as Presidential as
the deadly sirocco. The idea regarding
the malignant character of his breath il
no doubt well founded, but otherwise he
is merely a maudlin idiot, hat iabbers
his sanguinary threats like n
parrot and takes extraordinary good care
to keep his worthless carcass out of
danger. 1t is a matter of deep mystery
that a ~pinheaded demagogue like Rosa
should receive the slightest degree of con-
sideration, but this is partially accounted
for by the fact that insignificant fire-eatcrs
always cut such ludicrous figures. Nature
has provided Rosa with q iishwife's
tongue, and he himself has cultivated a
happy knack of appropriating all the
money that comes into his neighborhood.
Beyond these two eminent faculties
O'Donavan Rosa is as utterly insight
fcant and contemplate as the yelping
cur dog that disturbs the midnight
SAUNDERS of the virtuous. Let him give
his tongue a vacation.

Receives n Call from the Mother OF
n Talented Daughter.
New York Times.l
Travelling star actors and actresses meet
with amusing episodes here and there through
the country. All sorts OF people insist upon
knowing them, under every pretext, and it
seems TO be the general impression that actors
and actresses were made to hold a position of
serene and patient servitude toward those
who may choose to call upon them at any
time. Nine. Modjeskn was relating, the other
night, to n select circle of acquaintance, an
experience which befell her early in the
season in n distant western town. One
afternoon sho received a luminous to attend
upon two lady callers in the reception-room,
and, as the summons was couched in rather
imperative terms, Mime. Modjeska went
down. There was one elderly female and one
youngish girl. The eldest was tall and stout,
and obviously the mother OF her companion,
who struck Mime. Modjeska as n chronic in
valid. The conversation, as ~deliciously
mimicked by the actress, was as follows:

"The play nctressl Well, my daughter,
here, wants to go on the stage"
"lndeedf What are her acquirementsP'
"Ehf Well, ma'am, you'll have to speak q
little louder than that, because, you see, my
daughter is rather hard Of hearing"
Mime. Modjeska spoke louder. The young
lady answered rather thickly and with diff
Guilty.
Has she ever actedf7 asked Modjeska.
"No," responded the woman. a can't say
as she has ever acted, but we've tried her at
pretty much everything else and couldn't do
nothing with her, so we thought she might
do for the stage"
"Oh," said Modjeska.
"Yes," smiled the woman.
"She seems i'll, " said Modjeska. "What is
the matter with herIn
Nothing only epilepsy, ma'am. She has
that now and then, but it amt a very bad
case"
Mime. Modjeska gasped slightly. Then she
rose with dignity and said something about
the stngo being neither a hospital nor a refuge
for people who were good for nothing at any
thing else. And having thus delivered her
self, she departed, leaving tho maternal caller
in great indignation as to "stuck up folks"
