WESTERN STAGE REALISM.
Remarkable Theatrical Perform
RnCC An Denver.

Remarkable Theatrical Perform
ance I'm Denver.
Salt Lake Tribune.
At Denver, in the winter of 1868, the
principal theater was run under the man.
agement of John Langrish. At that time
some 6, 900 Union soldiers were stationed
there. The soldiers took great interest in
the theater. and were its principal, or at
night the house was neutrality-suspicious.
the gallery-with soldiers. To please the
boys in blue, Mr.. Langrish put on the
..Siege of Lucknow" Both men and Of
ficers took great interest in the
piece. They were determined that it
should be produced in fine style. The
soldiers made lot of bombs to be used
in the fort scene, the officers allowed two
cannons to be brought to the theater for use
in the fort, and about fifty men. armedIwith
nluskets. volunteered to act as the attacking
army of natives. For two or three days
previous to the night when the piece was
to be presented there were more soldiers at
work on the stage and about the theater
than helpers of any other kind. They
bossed all the warlike preparations.
The great night came and the soldiers
had the house. Not only were they in the
gallery. but they also filled the seats and
the lower floor. Mrs. Langrish took the
part of Jessie Brown. When the attack
was made on the fort the firing was terrific.
Then bombs began to fall into the fort.
These were balls Of yarn containing gun
powder. In order to produce good effect
the reckless soldiers who made these imlta-
ton bombshells had placed in each nearly
half a pound of powder. They made re-
port as loud as the largest China bombs.
The bombs made 1t mighty hot for poor
Jessie Brown. In less than half minute
her dress was on fire in two or there places
and everybody expected to see her beat
retreat. But those with her in the fort
smothered her burning dress and she stood
her ground.
The Supposition was among the people
Of the theater that the cannons were not
loaded. The printing of the pieces was to
be flashed and drum was to be struck to
initiate the report. But some soldiers had
slipped into one of the cannons cartridge
containing about two pounds of powder.
When those in front had begun to reply to
the fire of the attacking party this cannon
was touched off and it blew hole through
the side of the theater nearly eight feet
square. This excited the soldiers in front
and those in the gallery began firing their
reyolvers up into the ceiling, while those
below turned loose into the floor. In a
few seconds the whole place was so full of
powder smoke that one could hardly breathe
or see. The lights presented the appear
ance of street lamps seen through a dense
fog. The excuse that the soldiers after
ward made for Kidding the floor and ceiling
was that all was so much like real battle
that they forgot where they were and so
began firing before they realized what they
were about. That night all 1.-THE boys in
blue" felt that they got the full worth of
their money.

Cashier.
New Milton, W. Va, Dispatch.
Aromatic scandal has leaked out with
In the precincts OF this staid old town. and
has SEE the people by the ears. The prin-
clpals are two rival society bellies. An
affair OF honor, it appears, arose between
them, and was settled with swords in the
bona fide French mode.
MISS Matte de Monterey is the daughter
OF rich stock raiser She is a dashing
brunette. She was educated abroad, and
her velyety but radiant eyes have pierced
the soul OF many male admirers. The only
rival she owns in her social field is Miss
Grace Dare. beautiful blonde, equally
educated, dashing, accomplished and adj
mired.
TWO months ago an announcement was
made OF the engagement of Miss de Mon
terey to Mr.. William F. Appleton, cashier of
the New Milton bank. A month passed and
the engagement was mysteriously broken.
Ten days later the rival of Miss de Mon
terey. Miss Dare, was known to New Milton
as the hancee OF the presumably tickle but
handsome Mr.. Appleton.

definitely known, except that the Young,
women left the ballroom hastily and sur
reptitiously with flashing eyes and scarlet
cheeks, and without their escorts. What
followed transpire1 about two miles from
town, in cleared space in the woods, and
by the romantic moonlight. Both were fine
horsewomen, and they galloped thither
with their seconds and swords to settle the
trouble according to the code. The names
OF the seconds are not known, but they are
said to be gay girl friends of the principals.
The ground was chosen, the swords
measured, and the two fair Amazons re-
moved their protective corsets.

ment i'll the sphere in which they moved
both handled the glittering blades with
murderous skill, while the seconds stood
apart and shivered together in alarm. The
outcome of the duel is not known. as. the
ladies have not been visible since and the
greatest efforts have been made by their re-
spectlve families to hush up the affair. It
is declared, however. that Miss de Monterey
thrust the point of her sword into Miss
Dare's tender breast, fnficting severe
wound. 1t is reported that Mr. Appleton
was so greatly charmed by the courage
shown by Miss de Monterey and her pas
sionate love fer him that he wrote cold
and formal letter to Miss Dare refusing the
offer of her land and straightway promised
Miss de Monterey that she should marry
him in month if she would settle S10e. 900
on him for life. This the beautiful girl
gladly consented to do, and the wedding Is
now awaited with intense interest.

Over Pressure.

The question of over pressure in education is one
which occupies the minds of most educators in
connection with this subject the following extract
from the speech of Mr.. Andrew Harper NJ A.
principal of the Presbyterian Ladies' COLLEGE, Mel

of great value With regard to health and disc-
pine, have most satisfactory report to make.
During the year there has been no sickness of i'm
portance among the boarders, and everything has
opportunities for outdoor exercise to attain and
keep high level of general health. No one
under our control has been permitted to overwork
and If any pupil living az home has done so it has
been In direct opposition to my constantly repeat
ed entreaties and warnings. In the house no pupil
has been allowed to read after S:45. Notwthstand-
ing that rigorous restriction the boarders have tax

that in preparing lessons, half an evening is not
only as much as the whole, it is generally more.
Reading, after the brain is tired is simply so much
waste of time-or, rather, it is good deal worse
for every hour spent in such forced labour is
hurtful in high degree. For success at school
and university examinations alike an ample mea-
sure of sleep, sufficient exercise in the open air
and youthful good spirits are as necessary as
preparation, and if parents would make and keep
the same law as that which is observed by the
boarders l should feel greatly obliged For
watchfulness, on their part is need to check too
earnest study, and while l know of no case of
over study this year, feel it to be my duty to
use every opportunity of impressing upon parents

done in the time given; but / could not prevent
pupils getting prematurely into high class by

the bearer of the crew of the American barkentine
