On May 10, 1912, there occurred the Astor
Place opera house riot, one of the most san
culinary of she street rows that havo dis
tracted and terrified the metropolis. The
great tragedian, Edwin Forrest, was the pet
OF the people. He had lately returned from
London, where he had been Missed while on
the stage, the English actor, Macready, at
the Same time occupying a box and seeming
to enjoy his rivals discontinue, il no did not
encourage and aid in the manifestations Of
disapprobation. In the spring of 1919 Ma
cready visited America, and came to New
York to play an engagement. This was con-
siderod an act Of bravado-a boarding of the
Forrsstonian lion in his den. and tho fighting
element of the city arose in a fury at once.
Macready was warned to stay away, and
was threatened with personal violence if he
should attempt to play. The English ira
gedian sneered at these threats, and, encour-
aged by an aristocratic clique of New
York society who Delighted in initiating and
toadyinE the English. decided to play any
how. He was billed to appear at the Ast9r
Place opera house as Macbeth on May 10.
That night the house was fillod with a most
elegant audience, tho best people of Ney
York being assembled. A mob occupied tEs
gallery aud a bowling crowd Of 10000 furiouI
men gathered outside tho building. Whet
Mscresdy appeared on the stage no wa
greeted with Kisses, yells, and a shower OF
eggs. chairs, and benches. Immediately d
scene of wild terror prevailed in tho house,
while outside the mob bombarded the build
ing with paving-stonOs, which crushed in the
Window and fell among the audience. There
was a frantic stampede inside and a desperate
fight with the police, the ladies in the audi
ence crawling under tho seats to get out
of the way OF the combatants. Three hur-
bred policemen charged the mob, but were
repulsed aud scattered in confusion. Then
at 0 o'clock the Seventh regiment came on
the scene and cleared the streets after a des-
perate fight, in which the military fired vol
ley after volley. There were twenty rioters
killed and sixty wounded. or tho Seventh
there were $50 men and officers injured, but
none fatally. Macready remained concealed
in a private res idence in Clinton plnce for
two days and nights, and then escaped in
disguise to Boston, whence he sailed for
England The city was much excited for
two days, but when it was learned that the
actor Ind escaped the mob quoted down and
poacs was restored.

[Calcatta Cor. Inter Ocean.l
Up country the heat is especially trying,
and there are p few months when to Venture
out in the sunshine, even with a solar-topee
for a hat, and an umbrella also, would be
nothing short Of suicide. Every summer a
good many people die just from riding on the
railway, in carriages cooled by all kinds of
artificial appliances. In locking over the
government weather statistics l find that the
Thermometer frequently goes up to $50 de-
grees in the shade during the hot months,
and to $50 in the sun. Think of that, Sye
that complain of the heat which occasionally
hcsieges the states at home. This climate
seems to BIS tho one thing which is fatal to
tho highest development of this wonderful
country.
1 have been interested in examining some
of the make-shifts which human ingenuity
has devised to render life tolerable during the
blistering days OF an Indian summer.
First Of all, there are the punkahs, which
are kept swinging with considerable effect.
Then there arc porous mats, called kuss-kuss
%tatties, which usually contain some fragrant
roots. Thery are kept saturated with cold
water, and placed where tho wind will blow
through them as it enters the house. In the
absence OF wind punka.hs are SO placed as to
furnish a breeze to pass through them. These
tatti-mats are even placed in the windows OF
the railway carriages.
Most of the leo used hero Is now manufact-
ured. Up to four or fvo years ago it was
brought on ships from Boston and sold for
from 4 to Q cents per pound. Although the
manufactured ice only Tests half as long as
the natural ice, it can be made so
much cheaper now that it has driven tho
Boston ice out of the market
Some of the therman tid otes, as they nre
called, arc quite ingenious and successful.
A very popular one consists of a ~winnowing
machine placed in the window, surrounded
by mats which are kept constantly wet by an
endless succession of small tin cups The
evaporation of the water cools the breeze, SO
that it is alleged that sometimes people tnke
cold by sitting in the draught on u scorchiug
hot day. However, all these plans are but
mnkeshifts at the best, and che Yankee who
can construct a tunnel through from here to
tho north polo has both fame and fortune
awaiting him. VIII the Ohio man step for
wardI
Such a climate forces tho traveller to prac-
tically reverse the ordinary methods of pro
cedure in the matter of sleep, diet, and
other natural operations.
We rise early, eat chote-hadjeirie, or little
breakfast, consisting of a cup of coffee and a
slice of toast, and then go sightseeing. At
1850 o'clock comes hadjeirie, or big break
fast. The heat Of the day has by this time
set in, and a nap of a couple of hours is in
order. At 2 O'Clock tihin is served, a lunch
consisting of bread and buttor the latter
without n particle of salt in it), fruit, cheese,
and jam. Dinner is served at Z o'clock in
the evening, and is the most substantial meal
OF the day. Tea is disbursed at all seemly
and unseemly hours of the day between

CONTRIBUTED AFFILIATIONS. ON MY 77th BIRTHDAY.

REFLECTIONS ON MY 77th BIRTHDAY. Just seventy-seven of 1ife's great score-marks
 made, And now are numbered with the darkening
 past
 How many more to cut hath not been said Iris possible that time has scored the last! We'll, June is here-the sister-queen of flow Weaving her tasteful beauties everywhere, Renewing nature, building lovely bowers, And bringing gladness for each feeting year. When was young, beneath paternal care, I looked upon the world as, mainly, pure :; But have changed my mind, half in despair ; Of what we know, or seem to know, as sure Tve seen the man of fashion-woman, too Prancing through life like some proud, war
 like steed-
 Not needing suffering never moved by woe :; But seeking pleasure as their only need There's the voluptuary-cou courtesan-
 Gambler and drunkard, knave and defaulter, Stand ready to destroy an honest man
 Fit subjects all for hard-twisted halter The politician-though not worst of all Is bad enough, for he will richly pay His menial voters, at a moments call,
 Then bleed the nominee-election day! And there's another daily growing class, That live on others hard-earned pounds
 and pence;
 Thei1 main constituents and brass Who have. no care, except the present. tense And still one more the minister of God, Ordained, and chosen to conduct the
 church. To preach and practice only what is good, And warn the wicked Sometimes makes
 lurch.
 My thoughts turn back on these few months
 now past, s i q <. On loved ones gone, and on a ruined home saw that dear one in his casket last.
 Twas plain why David .Wept for 5Absalom These little ones are rushing fast along,
 To guide the nation, rear the family, Keep evil down, make moral bulwarks strong And thus transmit through time our liberty But what of self :? has life been all dream Hast thou, like many, spent these years II Hast thou, like food-wood, foated down lfe's
 stream? And lived like thousands s--morally insane Has any thoughts of higher life inspired
 To watchfulness of conduct, or of thoughts Has any wickedness of heart retired?
 Or hast thou spent these scores of years fol
 naught? & E a " v, Hast thou the widow and the orphan fed,
 Or sympathized with them in whelming grief?
 Made easier the sick or dying bed? ..- Or on the suffering bestowed relief? 70 Has any wanderer from the Saviour's fold
 Been shown the path by which he might re turn? Has any precepts, clothed with words of gold Found lodgment in the many hearts that mourn? All these are questions worthy of thy care |z Tho goodwill answer in affirmative If thou hast lived for virtue, everywhere, The golden crown is won, and Christ vii give.
