WESTERN STAGE REALISM.
(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 (, 1000 Union soldiers were stationed there. The soldiers took great interest in the theater, and were it's principal, or ct least it's most enthusiastic, patrons. Every night the house asscrowded- particularly the gallery with soldiers. To please the boys in blue, MT. Langrish put on the ''Siege of Lucknow. Both men and off cers took great interest in the piece. They were determined that it should be pro- duced in fine style. The soldiers. made a lot of bombs to be used in the the fort scene, the officers allowed two cannons to be brought to the theater for use in the fort and about fifty men, armed with mus kets. For two or three days previous to the night when the piece was to be pre- scented there were more soldiers at work on the stage and about the theatre 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 tooh the part of Jessie Brown. When the at tack was made on the fort the firing va terrific. The bombs began to fall into the fort. These were balls of yarn containing gunpowder. In order to produce good effect the reckless soldiers who made these imitation bomb-shells had placed in each nearly half a pound of powder. They made 8 report as loud as the largest China bombs. The bombs made it mighty hot for poor Jessie Brown. In less than hal1 a minute her dress was on fire in two yol three places and everybody expected tc see her beat retreat. But those with h6I in the fort smothered her burning dress and she stood her ground.
 The suppositiOn was among the people of the theater that the cannon were no loaded. The priming of the pieces wass tc be flashed and a drum was to be struck tG initiate the report. But some soldiers haG slipped into one of the cannon . cartridge containing about two pounds of. powder When those in front had begun to reply to the fire of the attacking party this can non was touched of and it blew a hol, through the theatre nearly eight foo square. This excited the soldiers in front and those in the gallery began firing thei revolvers up into the ceiling, while thos' below turned loose into the floor. In, few seconds the whole, place was SO full o powder smoke that one could hardl, breathe or see. The lights presented thI appearance of street lamps seen through dense fog. The excnse that sfhe, soidier afterward made for riddling the floor and ceiling was that all was so much like real battle that. they forgot where the, were and so began firing before they real ized what they were about. That nigh all "the boys in blue" felt that they go ] the full worth of their money.

A voluble, woman came to Washington drawing room, and after rattliDg away on her one topic for awhile asked who a very striking looking woman among the assist ants might be. She was told and then ensued the following conversation
 "Oh Mrs. Smith, are you any relation to Mr. John Smith ?'' said the voluble one
 "Yes am his divorced wife," was the calm and undisturbed response.
 Flushing, and really confused by the suddenness and explicitness of the reply, the voluble woman tried to recover her. self and apologize by saying:
 "Oh Lyon know-I only happened to know him quite we'll some years ago, once, you know"

 s. A. H., in The Congregationalist : There was once in Rome two blind men, one of whom cried in the streets of the city: "He is helped whom God helps. '' The other on the contrary cried ssHa ia helped whom the king helps." This they did every day, and the emperor heard iS s0 often that he had loaf of bread baked and filled with gold pieces. ~ This gold filled loaf be sent to the blind man who appealed to the emperor's help. When he felt the heavy weight of the bread he sold it to the other begRar as soon as he met him. The blind man who bought the bread carried it home. When he had broken it and found the gold he thanked God, and from that day ceased to beg. But the other, continuing to beg :, through the city, the emperor summoned him to his presence and asked him "W hat hast thou done with the loaf thst1 ] lately sent you ?"
 'sI sold it to my friend because it wal heavy and did not seem well risen"
 Then the emperor said 'Truly he whom God helps is helped indeed, and turned the blind man from him.

 A Mystery.

How the human system ever re- covers from the bad effects of the nauseous medicines often literally poured into it for the suppositive re- lief of dyspepsia, liver complaint, constipation, rheumatism and other ailments, is mystery. The mischief done by bad medicines is scarcely less than that caused by disease. If they who are weak, bilious, dyspeptic, constipated or rheumatic, would ottener be guided by the experience of invalids who have thoroughly tested Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, they would in every instance obtain the speediest aid derivable from ra- tional medication. This medicine is searching and at the same time a thoroughly safe remedy, derived from vegetable sources. and possessing, in consequence of its basis of pure spirits, properties as a medicinal stimulant not to be found in the fiery local bitters and stimulants often resorted to by the facilitated, dyspeptic and languid.

General LsEevre's Cow.

General Ben LeFevre had bargained for blooded COW at the sum of S7oo. and as the drover was driving her to Ben's farm to deliver and get his money he met gentleman who ad- mired the animal and asked whether she was for sale. The drover replied that she had been sold to General Ben LeFevre for s2oo. The gentle man replied that if any man devised to make Ben true" the bargain he would give Sa5o for her. The drover anxious to make $50, ,cudgled his brain and remembering the limited extent of LeFevre's knowledge of farm ami mals, hit upon an expedient. He took the COW to Ben's house, where she was duly and admiringly paraded to an assemblage of friends gathering for the purpose.
 "Come in and get your money," said Ben.
 General" replied the drover, II am good democrat and your consti tuent, and want to deal fairly with you. The COW is all she has been re. presented to be, thoroughbred and a good milker, but I am compelled to say that she is not perfect.
 "Why, what's the matter with herr"
 "Well, the fact is" replied tho drover, "she has no upper from teeth"
 "Great heavensl" ejaculated the congressman farmer. "No upper front teeth! That wont do at all and I don't want her; In fact would not take her for a gift. Still you shal not lose anything. Here is five dollar bill for your trouble in driving here and back"
 "All right" replied the drover, al he pocketed the V. "I don't wan to take advantage of you, general, SC good bye."
 And away he went and sold the COW to the other man, clearing just S5s by the transaction. This joke was too good to keep. Imagine Big Ben's dis comhture when it leaked out and th' disclosure was made that Ben did no know that COWS and rumlnating ani mals were never provided by nature with upper front teeth.

He Was on to the Trick.

"Good mornin'," he saluted as he passed in front of Michigan-avenue clothing store and placed weary looking traveling bag on box.
 The clothier who sat in his door in his shirt-sleeves eyed the stranger suspiciously and did not return the salute.
 "Can I get a good suit here for about SIG }" inquired the man as he inspected some of the hanging gar ments.
 The dealer made no answer. Indeed he kept his face turned away.
 Suppose I want to pay out about $3o Tn cash this morning-can you take it inl" continued the stranger.
 The dealer made no slgn.
 "There are five fellows over at the hotel who want new suits. If l bring 'em over l suppose you will at least thank me for my troubles" No answer.
 'I say, old fellow, how much would you like to sell me wedding suit for cash downl" shouted the stranger, as he slapped the silent dealer on the shoulder.
 "Then the silent dealer rose up and waved him off and replied
 I vhas on to you, my frent. Please pass on!"
 "Why, what is it2"
 "Soap-three cakes for a5 cents- remofs paint, grease, tar und so forth -eafery family wants hhn-special rates to der trade. It vhas no use to shtop here."
 The stranger looked him in the eye for minute, uttered "humph?" of disgust, and walked off as stiff as a crowbar.

I'm to going Find My Mamma.
BY ]. W. VAN KIRK,

The following lines were suggested by reading an account of little girl who, driven from home by the ill., treatment of a step-mother, boarded a passenger car, on which her childish mind remembered seeing her mother placed when she died. The conductor found her huddled up on seat, cares. sing an old doll-a gift of her moth CTS. When questioned she said she was going to find her mamma, who went to sleep in long box and was put on the cars. She did not want to be sent home, as her new mamma whipped her and put her in dark closet. A telegram was handed the conductor a few stations further on, requesting him to send the clild back home; but when he went 10 the seat where he had placed her, the chile was dead. Sorrow, the result of un kindness, had done its work.
 I'm going to find my mamma,
 The little ,rav'ler said;
 She was alone with "Dolly,"
 Her cheeks were pinched and red. want to find my mamma,
 mean to find her yet;
 know she wants 10 see me

 Don't send me back to papa,
 For l don't want to go;
 My other mammall whip me,
 Please let me stay with you.

 She's gone to join her mamma,
 In heavens nightly throne;
 No one was there to scold her
 She's found lasting home.
 And forever there will finger,
 In my ears the childish cry:
