10 Jefferson tells a good story Of Edwin
Forrest The great ~tragedian was playing
an engagement in Cincinnati. and it was
decided to put ON "Pizarro," but no child
could ba found TO personato Rolla's little
boy. The manager and the property man
were at their wits's end. 1t was impossible
TO hav the boy personated by a dummy, for
he was required TO walk, embrace his father
and mother, and perform other actions which
to n dummy would have boen physical i'm
possibilities. At last, in an evil hour, the
property man was struck by what he re-
garded as a happy thought At a one-horse
museum a few squares of the list of curl
osities Included a middle-aged dwarf, who,
despite his small stature, was gifted with a
large head and a very old face as well rs a
singularly gruff voice.
The property man, after considerable ne
gotiation, succeede1 In renting his midget
from the museum manager, for one night
only, to personate Rolla's infant son. The
dwarf was not present at rehearsal, and tho
character OF the infant which he wa to
carry on was carefully concealed from For
rest, who beheld him for tho first time as he
picked him up in the first entrance to rush
with him across the bridge, and
whose feelings at that moment, like the diff
cult passages in novels, may be more easily
imagined than described" Grasping the
terrified dwarf in his brawny arms Forrest,
never very gentle in any of his stage bust
ness, rushed like a whirlwind before the au-
dience, shouting at the top of his powerful
voice, ~Rolla passes freely" and handling
the son of his adoption rather more roughly
than usual.
When about half way across tho bridge
the poor midget could endure it no longer,
and thrusting his head out from under old
Metamora's arm, and looking up into his
face said in a deep, bass voice, so completely
out OF keeping with his stature and his sup
posed juvenility. that IL n lamb had roared
it could scarcely have been more surprising:
See here, you great big lubber, what are

A correspondent suggests to a sanitary

poses. He proposes to fill the bottom of the
coffin with a layer Of cement, and after the
coffin has been lowered into the grave, to
cover the sides and surface Of the body with
the same material, The moisture OF the
earth will be drawn into the cement, and in
n little while It will be as hard rs stone, in
which every lineament will remain i'm

1t Is alo suggested by the correspondent

may be interfered with by medical colleges,

will be that tho body will be surrounded
