The Japanese Trio.

New York Leader.
About week ago my attention was
called to the number of bouncing young
girls who moved along the streets in
threes. Mr.. Thorn, the "Ko-Ko" of Gill
bert & Sullivan's "Mikado" company,
said at the time: ''That is the most con-
spicuous result of the popularity of The
Mikado' in America. The Three Little
Maids from School song is the mos
catchy one in the opera. It is sung in
every household in New York, thumped
out with unrelenting enthusiasm on
boarding house pianos from one end of
the town to the other, hummed by the
car drivers, and whisted by the street
Arabs Now the girls have taken to
travelling in trios as they did in Lon
don when The Mikado' first caught the
public there. The idea amused me at
first but I have taken the trouble to
watch the groups of girls on Broadway
and Fifth avenue since, and pair is
rare, while the trios swing along every
where, and they invariably move as
though humming the ditty about the
three little Japanese maids.'

"SOrter Mixed"

Detroit Free Press.
Shortly after the war a tourist on a
southern river steamboat, lettering
around the lower desk, observed an old
darby seated on the edge of the boat
swinging his legs over the water in h
most comfortable manner, and drawing
near entered into conversation:
"Old man, how do you like freedom p
The old darby looked puzzled, and after
scratching his head thoughtfully, and
shaking it obviously awhile, replied:
"Bossy, hits sorter mixedr'
"WLat do you mean by that, my

WHEN YOU ARE SAD.

When you are sad, ask no more,
The lavish rights l claimed before,
When sunrise glittered on the seas,
And dancing to the wooing breeze,
The laughing nipples kissed the shore.
The morning 81 ow of love is DER;
Oh, rosy drea ms we dreamt of yorei
/ do but ask the least of these.
When you are sad.
Let the fresh darling you adore,
With joys light footstep cross the floor,
But hero the last of all my pleas,
And shut for all but me the door,
When you are sad.

promise with the empire or its works
was as absolute and as dignifed, i'll its
entirely different way, as that of the
great Frenchman who lived in exile at
Guernsey, But her hatred for Louis
Napoleon did not make her unjust, as is
shown by such an anecdote as this:
s.Soon after his marriage, when Islander
was busy with the name of his beauti
fnl Spanish bride, Nine. Mohl, who
Knew how utterly groundless
these stories were, Indignantly denied
them. and once on rather important oc-
casion defended the Empress warmly be-
fore large company" The Emperor,
hearing of this, sent note OF thanks and
an invitation to the Tuileries. "She
took the invitation from the court digni-
tary. tore it up, and flung it back to him.

Of Montalembert for his bold denuncia-
tion of the empire she was so delighted
that she went to call upou him, and they
were fast friends from the start. There
are also some aumsing stories OF the VISIT
Of the king and queen of Holland to Ma
poleon and of their acquaintance with the
Mohls. Mohl was afterward frequent
correspondent of the king, and his letters
were very outspoken on the subject OF
the government. It turned out after
ward that these letters we're regularly
intercepted and copied at the Tuleries
before being sent to their destination, an
infancy to which, as every one knows,
Louis Napoleon and his accomphces
never hesitated to stoop.

The Cough Memorial service.

The Cough Memorial Service.
The Cough Memorial service at the
Methodist church last Sunday night
was par excellence in its completeness
of success. In every point vital to sue
cess it succeeded-a packed house, q
good programme, felicitous speakers,
pertinent matter, the best Of music and
interesting occasion. It was great
service in honor and memory of great
man. Other men spoke to commune
ties or sections, but Cough spoke to the
world. He was pre-emiuentiy the
temperance orator of the world, and IL
was Defitting at the fall Of such hero
in the strife to hold a memorial service
In his honor and to his memory, and 1t
could never have been more happily
arranged in every detail than it was by
the ladies Of Woman's Christian Tenn.
perance Union. Brothers Key, Dale
and Wise were happily entertaining In
their photographed illusions to this
great man, and In their strong and
earnest excavations to benefit by his
wonderful example. The excellent
ladies also, Mrs. O. p. Haney and Mrs.
Iottie B. Smade were exceedingly for
tunate In their selections touching the
history and work Of this wonderful
apostle of temperance. The immense
audience was held in perfect order I'M
til after o'clock when they were dis
missed by the benediction by the Rev.
Mr.. Harris of the NJ. E. church. This
service was one those events which
stand out by themselves, and which
seems to have had the conspiracy o.
every attending circumstance to make
it successful and memorable in every
particular even down to the collection
at it's close.
Being under the auspicies Of the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union the
good women will doubtless take great
courage and go to their future work
with greater energy and hope.
