The Maginnis Minstrel Troupe.

The Fort Maginnis Miustrel Troupe
gave their second entertainment of the
season at the Post Theatre on the even
ing OF the 1st inst, to Il large and ap-
preciative audience. The excellent
reputation Of the troupe was fully sus-
tanned. There was not "A dull moment.
The Ethiopian sketch entitled: Gone
Hundredth Night of Hamlet" and
The Stupid Servant" although the
reading and acting in each in
stance was was good, might have
been considered somewhat pointless
and too light for comparison with
other parts of the programme.
In response to encores, the rendering
OF the same song, or part, more than
twice, is not quite correct taste, or as
pleasing to the audience as some new
%trife; che character song of O'Neil be-
ing particularly referred to-he should
have favored us with something diff
ferent in response to the second encore.
his song entitled: Your Mother-in-
law" would undoubtedly be well
received again at q subsequent enter
tainment.
The avoidance of everything partak-
ing Of indelicacy, is noticeable in the
performances given 10y this troupe.
The Funny Old Grip was too utterly
comical for anything.
The minstrel singing was Of an high
order, and the jokes and puns excep-
tionally bright. The acting of both
Turner and Seedlings, is deserving of
special mention; their stage bearing
icing easy and natural-considerabIe
'aIent was displayed by these actors.
Limited time prevents a review of
the entire programme-it is sufficient
to say that it was well carried out in
every detail.
Another performance is promised in
about three weeks hence.

An Ex-LiquOr Manufacturer Makes Some

know little about and the extent of it
will surprise you. A man stands about

brandy in New York. With reetified
whisky as basis we can initiate any
kind of brandy. The French are more
expert than we are; we begin where
they leave off, and God pity the man
who drinks the stuff we make. We
make champagne which you buy for the
genuine article. 1t costs to manufact-
ure it four dollars basket; we sell it

French straw and baskets to pack them
in. We buy one barrel of it. Our coop
er takes the pattern and makes ours by
it. They are new and bright. We put
them through a staining process and
they come out old and rusty and worn,
just like the genuine importation. Thir-
ty-two deadly poisons are used in the
manufacture of wine. Not one gallon
in fifty sold here ever saw France. We
send thousands of gallons of whisky to
France to have them come back to us
something else. Of all poisonous
liquors in the world Bourbon whisky is
the deadliest Strychnine is only one
of the poisons in it. A certain oil is
used in its manufacture, eight drops of
which will kill cat in eight minutes,
and dog in nine minutes. The most

the stuff they sell. -

THERE are 1000 saloons in Berlin.
The result of this important industry "

Upon the opposite side of the pond

only said he could not go unless he

OXFORD BULLDOGS.
The Way They Catch the Young Men Who
Are Out at Night.


At about eight o'clock every night
one of the proctors, with his attendant
"bull-dogs," sallies forth into the
streets, hotels and billiard-looms of Ok
ford, collecting fines for the university
chest. As the penalty for being out af-
ter dusk without cap and gown is five
shillings, and the practice is almost uni
versal, rich harvest is reaped from
this field of labor. An additional five
shillings is charged if the ofense is ag-
gravated by smoking.
There are occasions of course, when
it is impossible to avoid being proctor
ized," but the student soon becomes ac-
customed to certain signs which infall'-
bly, denote a proctor's approach, and
takes steps to elude him. The follow
ing are the ordinary symptoms: The
street is abnormally empty; quick and
steady tramp is heard in the distance
(this is most suspicious, for tits the fash
ion of undergraduates to lounge very
slowly; three men appear marching
close together, and at some distance be-
hind them cap and gown are discern
ible. Then it is time to be off. ~.
When a capture is made the victim is
treated with elaborate politeness. 1t
takes place somewhat after this fashion.
Jones is returning from concert, and
has nearly reached his college gates,
when suddenly, turning sharp corner,
he runs straight into the arms of a
"bull-dog.'
The man touches his hat. eff you
please, sir, the proctor wishes to speak

shock, that functionary advances, raises
his cap with bow, and inquiries:
