The Theatre Fool.
Detroit Chan.

The fool sometimes goes to the theatre and as often as he does, he falls 10 won- dering al what he sees and hears. Peo- pie are supposed to go to see and hear the play. They may not care for it after all, sometimes because |, is not worth caring for, and frequently because they are incapable of apsreciat,ng what is beautiful and good. But what righ, have these people, in either case. to disturb others. who also go to see and hear, who have paid their money for their privilege. and who are entitled to Il. How can they be so careless of the rights of others And yet they are for you hardly sit through a performance without being disturbed by the idiotc conversation of some ot your neighbors. The papers have pitched into thiS nuisance time and again, but there are evidently many peo- pie who go to theatres who do no, read the papers. For such people ChaG weeps.
 There IS another nuisance. we don | know what the technical name for 1t is but it IS low music when anything espe- cially interesting is being sad in low tone upon the stage. It drowns the voice of the actor, or generally, the actress, and destroys. or al the very least greatly im- pairs. the interest in the play by making a break in the story. Why will theatrical people persist m so senseless a practice :
 Aga'n can any one tell me why vi oious and affected pronunciation has been adopted by many second-class players ladies especially: The stage used ,o be school in which correc, and elegant prenune iation was learned. Bu, now. SO II IS, that the ieeble imttators of Mrs. llngard twist ,helr words ou, of all shape IS they come from their lips. If there Is any possibility oi misptonouncing they avail themselves of !,-and thas we have them exelaimlng, That voeece ,ha, voeece-tees hees-tees hees oh. seave heem seave heenl. he comes to hees daith :"

Shakespeare as a Lawyer.
New York World.

Mir. Franklin F. Heard has made pleasant little book with the above ti, e Little, Brown X Co.,, Boston It is mac up of such quotations from the plays ar poems as contain obvious or recondl.e legal allusions, together with explanato-, comments upon them. IL IS quite sC-. prising how long the list of quotations = Many expressions which the ordina-> reader would not recognize as savorin of the law, and So fail partially 10 unde: stand their force. are elucidated by Nj Heard. Some long passages are so pc , meated with legal technicali.es that seems impossible they could have emaa ated from any one not thoroughly fam. far with the law.
 The conclusion reached by MT. Hear after careful consideration of the who.e question is as follows There is seer ingly utterly utter impossibility of h.s having acquired, on any other theors than that of having studied the law, the marvellous intimacy which he display with legal terms, his frequent adoption of them in illustration. and his curious, technical knowledge of their form anG force, which no mere quickness of int ibioh Nai dN(Ouuk NJCuulS. 1t reveals general and even particular truths and facilitates all acquremen; does not impart facts or the knowledge of technical terms If these inquiries do not prove that in hot blood he stepped into the law they help to show with wha masterly comprehensiveness he could deal with the peculiarities of this as c, nearly every other human pursuit. IT, deed, he confesses
 have been l truant m the law
 And never yet could frame my will to t
 Authors do not use technical tern in the familiar way in which Shakespeare speaks of the law. unless the terms really are familiar to them by frequent use. and we find these terms and allusions used by him in an apparently unconsciou way as the natural turn of his thoughts Among these are some which few but |, lawyer, and some even which none but ., lawyer could, have written
 Whether NIT. Heard convinces ,h 2 reader that verdict in his favor must be given or not. the book will serve to throw strong side-light upon many passages so penetrated with legal thought and ex pression as to be almost unintelligible ,c those who have not made special stud, of the law.

A TIMELY BOOK.
Lives of

Announcement is made of the rapid com
pletion of a Pictorial work comprising the
Lives of the Pres d. initial Candidates on tile
Republican ticket, written by the veteran
author, Mr.. J. w. Buel, and published by
N. ID. Thompson & Co, st. Louis, Mo-, and
New York. This work is sold through agents
exclusively. 1t is designed mot only to serve
the popular taste and want in giving exhaus-
lively, the facts in the boyhood and man
hood of the Candidates-the private Lives
and Public Services--but to have more
enduring interest than the ordinary Cam
paign book. To this end the publishers have
engaged on tine work corps of skilled de-
sgners and eDgravers TO elegantly and pro-
fusely illustrate the scenes and incidents in
the lives of these eminent men, now so prom
inently before the people. Personal anced0-
ties and "reminiscences will constitute a lead
Ing and certainly most entertaining and
instructive feature of this fine work.
Mr. Buel has marked ability, and enjoys
especial distinction as Biographical writer.
While exhaustive in the recital of facts his
powers of analysis, and his keen insight into
the philosophy of events and measures, give
him special prominence among American
writers of personal history. IL is not too
much to say that he is better prepared for
the work in hand than any other American
author Accredited by our government in
his tour aud residence in Russia and Siberia,
his great work on Nihilism and Exile Life in
Siberia gave him standing in the high, st
literary and gbicids circles in tlIis country as
writer at once conscientious, forcble and
picturesque. This has given him unsLr-
passed facilities for procuring all tho mater
ial for the work now in hand. AS a book of
fascinating interest," beauty and profuseness
of Illustration, and of comprehensyenes of
fact, it viii commend itself to eDesy goter.
To the book agent this rare combination
Of authentic history, pictorial illustration
and brilliant authorship, will at once suggest

GENTLEMEN;
l have examined the samples of liquid
which were left with me, marked 'tCurlcy
kew" and find that they do not contain
metallic salts, nor poisonous materials of
any kind.
The materials from which the sa nples are
compounded are harmless, and though the
solution resembles BandDline in mechanical
effect, it is not ''sticl1y'' and will not pro-
duce any injurious effect upon the texture of
the hair or the scalp.
Users of the "Curleykew" need not fear
any of the unpleasant consequences which
follow the use of hair dressings containing.
salts of lead, or other hurtful matter.
Respectfully,

An Important Discovery

NEW YORK, March ia Tri.
bune's Pittsburg special says: A
chemist Of this city is said to have
discovered the lost art of making
articles from obsidian,a species of
volcanic glass. and among them
black mirrors, which are used in
the making of astronomical instru-
ments. While on q visit to Pom
peii he obtained some lava. which
he carefully analysed, arriving at a
knowledge Of its component parts
of obsidian and the secret of its re-
production by artificial means. He
came to this city with his slab and
on visiting a well-known manu-
facturer of optical lenses, was
asked, ''Do you know what you
have done? You have discovered
the lost art of making black mir
rors." Though there are no mil
lions in it, the discovery is of the
greatest scientific importance.

He'll soon Find His Man.

Sullivan the slogger, told Car
son reporter that he is barely
twenty six years old ;but theamount
of dissipation he has undergone
makes him look like powerful
man Of nearly thirty i've. His daily
consumption of liquor is half
gallons. and there is hardly one
night in the month that he does
not retire brutally drunk. He can
not continue this course long and
remain the champion brute. His
conduct on this Coast was of such
a nature that no one with any de-
gree of self respect could afford to
recognize him in public He is
viciously undermining his physical
strength in such a measure that it
would not be at all surprising were
Thompson to vanquish him in the
fight at New Orleans. next month.
Hope he may take the starch out Of
the Boston rufian. The APPEAL re-
porter would not say 80 much but
that Sullivan is about q thousand
miles away.

A Disgrace.

The sidewalk in front of the Cap
itol Building is not only disgrace
to the city. but it is also a sort of q
man-trap. The warped planks do
not unfrequently trip up the IN
wary pedestrian, but fortunately
so far, no serious accidents have
beenl occasioned by this defect.
That, however, is not saying that
none are likely to occur. Another
unsightly feature connected with
the sidewalk, is the primitive wood
en- railing that borders it. And,
again the gutter impresses q
stranger that it is intended as a
receptacle for all the filth and garb-
age of Carson. These nuisapces
can be remedied at very slight
cost.

A Draft.

Quite force of miners was
drafted from the Standard mine or
Tuesday last. The engineers and
brakemen were put on twelve.houl
shifts instead of eight-hour shifts.
1t is the intention to shut down the
Standard Bulwer mill in . day OF
two. This is the result of a marked
falling off in the value Of the ore.
The old Standard mine will be kept
steadily running es usual, and at
the same time prospecting work
will be kept up in the mine, The
latter is likely to result in new dis
coveries most any time. Many
feared that the draft would result
disastrously to other stocks than
tho Standard, but such did not
prove to be the case. There is no
reason why Bodie, Bulwer or Mono
should be Effected by the Standard,
as each mine depends upon its in
dividual value. Bodie was loook-
ing we'll yesterday, and although q
considerable amount of stock was
sold from here it did not fall off ex-
cept to a comparatively small
Press.

In the wonderful diversity OF

In the wonderful diversity Of
minerals which have been utilized
in this country, it is strange that it
can be truthfully asserted that
there is practically not single tin
mine in operation in the United
States. Not one for q moment
would believe that this mineral has
not been abundantly bestowed up
on certain localities, and the fact
that it has not been more frequent
~ discovered proves that the prob
ability is that miners have not been
sufficiently acquainted with its
characteristics and peculiarities to
be able to distinguish it when
found.

In boring for water near Snake
river. about forty-five miles from
Dayton. Or. recently, stratum OF
frozen earth was encountered at a
depth of fortyfive feet. Passing
through this for five feet numerous
cavities were found, from which
cold air came in gusts. The escap-
ing air at the bottom of the we'll
can be heard roaring at some dis
lance. It is not possible for any
one to hold his hand over the we'll
for any length of time without
freezing it, and bucket OF water
let down into the we'll was frozen
over in a few minutes. Work on
the we'll has been abandoned on
account of the cold.
