PROFESSOR TRIPS LECTURE.-Professor
Trip was greeted by a highly intelligent
audience at his opening lecture at the
Sixth.street NJ Z. Church last evening.
The lecturer began by tracing briefly the
influence of the revolutionary writer's ofthe
eighteenth century the Titan struggle of
Napoleon l. with the allied powers; the
restoration under Louis XNIII.: the liberal
upheaval in 1880, that drove Charles X.
into exile the accession of Louis Philippe
as the citizens King and his abdication
and flight in 1915. The principal part of the
lecture was an exceedingly Interesting de
lineation of the adventurous career of
Prince Louis Napoleon from his birth to
the imperial throne; vivid sketches were
interviewer of Napoleon l., Josephine,
Louis, King of Holland, the queenly Hor-
tense, Empress Eugene, and the tragic
death of the late Prince Imperial at the
hands of the Zulus in southern Africa. A
glance was given also at the present polit-
teal situation in France. Throughout the
lecture was exceedingly interesting, and
quite instructive. The lecture this evening,
at the same place, will he upon the present
perturbed state of the Old World, the
critical relations of Great Britain, and the
threatening indications of an Oriental
war etc.

MErRoPoLrrAN THEATER. - Monte

Grismer as Edmond Dantes, was at his
best, and in the triple role assumed sus-
tanned the test with artistic judgment.
Phoebe Davies was the Mercedes of the
play, and gave the character for all there is
in it. One of the very best presentations
was that of Noirtuir, Dv Mr.. Webster. The
DISCUSSES were excellently assumed by him.
Mr.. Cummings, as VIllcfort. played the
part with q full appreciation of its de-
mandS; and Mr.. Sambrook, as Caderouse,
was seen at far better advantage than in the
Doctors part, in called Back" Miss
Stevens, as the wife of Caderouse,
had repulsive role, and
gave il with full effect Miss
O'Connor, as Albert, had the part
formerly played by Miss Davies. and was
thus thrown into strong contrast with her,
but read the lines with creditable spirit
and in good taste. Throughout the play
was well presented. Many theater-goers
were noticed in the dress circle and parquet
last night who have not attended for several
seasons. Monte Cristo" will be given
again tonight and the experiment of half
prices will be adhered TO. 1t should win
for with sittings at rates long clamored for,
and thoroughly good company on the
stage, it becomes fair test of the desire
and ability of the community to maintain
a good stock company for Il reasonably ex

The Murray Sun says: "No matter

occasion Of failure profitable to them

He who makes debt should consider ii

What Sporting Men Rely On.

When Lewis r.. Redmond, the
South Carolina moonshiner, cornered,
after for eight years eluding the
government officials, was asked to
surrender, he exclaimed:
"Never, to men who fire at my
backw
Before he was taken, five bullets
had gone clear through him, but
strange to relate, he got well, in the
hands of a rude backwoods nurse"
BY the way, if Garfield had been in
the hands of a backwoods nurse, he
might have lived. A heap Of volun-
teer testimony against the infallibility
of the physicians has been accumulat-
ing of late, and people are encouraged
to do their own doctoring more and
more. 1t is cheaper and quite as GER
tain.
Before Detective Curtin of Buffalo
caught Tom Ballard he covered"
him, with his revolver. Tom saw
the point and tumbled!
Joe Goss was covered" a few
weeks ago and he tumbled, and so
did Dan Mace. Death "fetched EN-"
with that dreaded weapon-kidney
disease. But they should have been
lively and drawn first. They could
easily have disarmed the monster
had they covered him with that
dead Warmers safe cure,
which, drawn promptly, always
takes the prey. 1t is doubtless true
that sporting men dread this enemy
more than any mishap of their pro-
fession, and presumably this explains
why they as rule are so partial tC
that celebrated "dead shot"
Redmond was right. No mar
should surrender when attacked ir
the back. He should "draw," face
about and proceed to the defence, fol

classes, will fetch a man every time

Greeley. There were four or five of
us who got our heads together and
decided that the war was inevitable,
and consented to let it come.
Then it came. Whenever there is
large inevitable conflict loafing
around waiting for permission to
come, it devOlves on the great states
men and bald-headed Hteruti of the
nation to avoid all delay. 1t was SO
with Patrick Henry. He permitted
the land to be deluged in gore, and
then he retired. 1t is the duty of the
great orator to howl for war and then
hold some other mans coat while he
fights.

Don't Eat in a Hurry.

A health journal says that people
ought to take three-quarters Of an
hour for dinner. This is well if there
is dinner enough to hold out so long.
The penalty for hurrying meals, as
most people do, is a grevous attack OF
dyspepsia. In such a case you will
have to resort to Browns Iron Bit
tiers for cure, as did Mr.. j. r. Pink
stOn, Shorter's Depot, Ala, who
writes: 81 found relief in Browns
Iron Bitters after years of suffering

Mason & Hamlin Pianos.

Mason d Hamlin bid fair to become
as famous for their upright pianos as
they have long been for their world
renowned cabinet organs. The dis
tinguishing feature about the "Mason
& Hamlin Upright" is an important
improvement in the method of hold
ing the strings of the piano, which
originated in their own factory. The
strings are secured by metallic fasten-
ings, instead of by the friction of pins
set in wood, as has been the case, and
the advantages resulting are numer-
Gus and highly important. Among
them are the following: Wonderful
beauty and musical quality of tone
far less liability of getting out of tune;
greater reliability in trying climates
and greater solidity of construction
and durability. Mason 4 Hamlir
have made 10000 organs. They car
hardly expecttOmakea many pianos
but they will doubtless be called upor
for very large number. Indeed
their piano department is now run

company is behind orders. So grea

st. Nicholas for October.
In Africa the bees have a very hard
time; for there man has a sharp-eyed
active little friend to help him find
their carefully hidden honey. This
little friend is a bird,-a rascally,
shiftless fellow, that not only fails to
build home for his little ones, but
even goes so far as to make other
birds have all the trouble and worry
Infringing upand feeding them. Like
the cuckoo it puts its eggs in the
nests of other birds.
The "honey-guide," as it is called,
is exceedingly fond Of honey; or, if it
cannot have that, is very well salts
fed with young bees. 1t is only
about the size of lark, and so is not
specially fitted for encountering a
swarm of bees fighting in defense of
their home. Once in while it tries
to rob nest, but is usually well pun
ished for doing so. The little bees
seems to know that their stings can
not injure the feather-covered body
of the bird, and accordingly they
direct their attacks at the eyes of the
robber; and if the bird does not es-
cape in time, it will be blinded, and
portion so perish of starvation.
However, the honey-guide is sell
dom so foolish as to run any risk, 1t
perfers to have some else one steal the
honey, and is content with small
for its share.
When it has found nest, it darts
away in search Of man. AS soon
as it sees one, it hovers over him,
flies about his head, perches near him
or futtering here and there in front
of him, all the time chattering vigOr-
ously. The native knows in mo-
ment what the little bird means; and
as he loves honey as child does
candy, only something that is very
important will prevent his accepting
the honey-guide's invitation. When
he is ready to follow, he whistles
and the bird seems to understand the
signal, for it at once flies on, for {
short distance and waits till the mar
is near, and then flies on a few yardi
6 further. In this way the bird lead
the man until the nest is reached

SEPARATION.

A wall was grown between the two
A strong, thick wall, though all unseen;
None knew when the first stones were laid,
Nor how the wall was built ween.
And so their lives were wide apart,
Although they shared one board, one bed,
A careless eye saw naught amiss,
Yet each was to the other dead.
He, much absorbed in work and gain,
Grew soon unmindful of his loss;
A hard Indifference worse than hate
Changed loves pure gold to worthless
dross.
She suffered tortures all untold;
Too proud to mourn, too strong to die;
The wall pressed heavily on her heart;
Her white face showed her misery.
Such walls are growing day by day
'Twixt man and wife, 'twixt friend anG
friend
Would they could know, who lightly build
How sad and bitter is the end.
A careless word, an unkind thought,
A'slight neglect, haunting tone
Such things as these, before we know,
Have laid the wallis foundation stone.
