NEW YORK, May S.-Much of the talk among
the show folks who now throng Union square is
in discussion of the recent intoxcation of Edwin
Booth on the stage with Salvini, in its bearing
on his engagement to act next season under the
business management of Lawrence Barrett The
story went that Barrett, alarmed at the addi-
tonal risk of the heavy enterprise, was inclined
to back out. Investigation gives no proof of any
| such thing Barrett was on his way to San
Francisco the night of Booths drunken
ness at the Academy of Music, and
the actors engaged for next winters Booth
and Barrett companies have had no intmation
of any change of plan. But they ind on reading
over their contracts that there IS a provision
that in case of incapacitating illness in either
Booth or Barrett, their services may be dis
pensed with. These documents were drawn af
ter Booths inebriety at the Fifth avenue Thea
ter just before Christmas, when he became in
coherent and fell while impersonating Iago. al
most exactly as he did with Salvina at the Acad
envy. The inference is that Barrett has taken
precautionary measure which will enable him to
abandon the venture with the least possible loss
if Booth should become disabled.

LIFE ON THE OCEAN BOTTOM.

The Mud Beds and Coral Groves of the
 Deepest Seas-A Continual Rain of Mat
 ter from the Surface-HOw It Is Utilized
 by Animal Flowers and Finny Monstros-
 ities.
 It has been said that the ocean bottom is literally paved with starfish, and to judge by the vast number that come up with every dredge load this must be true. How so many animals live together and get enough oxygen to support life has always puzzled me. There are no currents of any import ance, and the slowly moving drift begins far in the north and passes through the en- tire length over layers and beds of animals, each of which is exhaling carbonic acid gas. There are no plants to destroy this poison and give in its place the much need ed oxygen, yet they must get supply from some other quarter or they would not live.
 Mixed up with the mud on the bottom in deep water there are numerous broken and entire shells, which in places are very abundant These are no doubt the rem nants of feasts had off their contents by numerous and various fishes, starfishes and crabs The bottom animals are very vo- racious, eating anything that falls in their way, and hence, although we dredged Tn the track of ocean steamers, we seldom found relics of any kind except cinders. On one trip, in 1,200 fathOms on the edge the track of ocean steamers, We hauled up

4 Famous Rogue Who Counterfeited Gel

 Nothing is easier than to put an old date on new violin, and, it is said, to initiate perfectly the tone of Stradi- varius is quite within the capacities of two or three living makers. But the counterfeits in the market do not come from the hands of modern artists. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the only instruments that were much sought after were those of Jacob Stainer and Nicholas Amati It was common even in that age of innocence to paste a counterfeit of Stainer's written sigma ture on any decent violin covered with brown varnish, and that of the printed card of Amati on any covered with a yellow varnish. It was only toward the end of the last century that the violins of Stradivarius became known in France. Viotti, the Remenyi of his day, brought them into notice in Paris. Stradivarius, the first Antonius, was pupil of Amati, and his first works were introduced under cover of the fame of his master. Hence there are. doubtless, some works of Stradi- varius which are now believed to have been produced by the earlier master. It was only toward 1880 that the works of Guarne- rius, of the two Bergonzis, and the sons, and other members of the family of An tonius Stradivarius came into vogue. Immediately after they became objects for collectors; and then the counterfeit CTS began their rascalities. Every pc culiarity of the volute, of the fl, of the corners, the dove-tails, the transparency and color of the varnish, the golden vel low of the Maggini, the fine red brown of the Bergonzi, the. pate fine and elastic of the Jesus (by which the works o1 Joseph Guarnerius, 1683-1746, with an HIS following the date, are known), |, and the shining red of the Stradivarius, all were initiated with an extraordinary exactitude To complete the deception, the tickets were taken off real specimens and pasted on the false Toward 1873, date of the death of Vuillaume, the worst of these imitators, the confusion became extreme. The rogue was in the habit o1 breaking up the best old violins that fel ] into his hands in order to make two out of each one. Paganini himself was 2 victim of his trickery. Vuillaume wa. such double-dyed villain that he could not abide the thought that in ages tC l. come his clever work might be honestly taken for genuine, so he has generally engraved or written his name. on the in strument in microscopic characters.

GOVERNMENT REWARDS.
How Swedish Captain Rebuked
 United States Government.

How a Swedish Captain Rebuked the United States Government.
 "When Senator Evarts was here the other day." said one of his friends to a correspondent recently, ''he told very good story in connection with that fund for rewarding sailors who aid American wrecked seamen." Senator Evarts' story was about like this: Some four or five years ago, while he was Secretary of State, this fund had run down to low ebb, and the department concluded to economize little. They, therefore, con- tracted with New England watch firm to supply cheap grade of silver watches and chains The idea was to engrave these watches: Presented by the Presi- dent of the United States to -, for gallant services in aiding the crew of the wrecked American ship -" About the time that this resolution had been taken Swedish Captain rescued party of seventeen American seamen, and turned back in his course and took them to Stockholm, where they were turned over to the Consul. In due course Of time, when his gallant action became known, the department forwarded one of these watches to him through the GUS tomary channels. The Captain to whom this valuable token was to be presented was entitled, under the law, to fifty cents per day for each seaman rescued, during the time which he had charge of them. He put in no claim against the Government, and asked for no remu- neration for the outlay to which he had been put. When he received the thanks of this great Government in such sub stantlal form he did not like it, and in- stead of wearing the watch, as it was expected he would do, he hung it up in show window in Stockholm, and above it attached a card bearing legend some thing like this:
 Presented to Captain Memo, by the Presl | dent of the United States, for rendering aid | to seventeen shipwrecked Am merican seame n. l This token gives some idea of the value which that great country places upon the | lives of its sailors.
 The watch attracted great deal of | attention, and came to the notice Of the American Minister, who opened corre- spondence with the State Department, | which correspondence proved in the end quite voluminous. It resulted in the return of that silver turnip, and the substitution in its place of as fine a gold watch as the Department could se- cure, which was quite naturally ac- cepted with thanks. Captain Memo, by the way, in writing to the Department, said that the first watch which had been sent him was neither ornamental nor useful, and as for the chain, he could not find any use for it unless it was to tie up some vicious dog, which he might have some time in the future. He added that simple letter of thanks from the United States Government would have been received with gratitude, and would have been highly appreciated, and he hinted that the alleged reward for his gallantry was in the nature of an insult. MT. Evarts added that the eighteen-dollar watch experiment was not repeated after that day.-Ladta'a- Gpolts Journal.

CURIOUS DEEP-sEA FISH.

skate that were also present in abundance. Soon sharp pains darted through my hands, and before long the pains had increased so much that l had to stop work, and was afterward told that it was caused by the lasso cells of the anemOnes. With these terrible weapons they can kill animals much larger than themselves, and l have seen them swallow fish foot long. It is strange fact that all brilliantly-cOlOred ani- mals are well provided with means of de- fence, while those that are poorly defended are inconspicuous, resembling the color of their fayorite haunts. The latter are thus colored for the purpose of escaping the notice of their enemies, while the former, such as sea anemones, crabs, etc.S having no enemies to fear, by their brilliant colors attract the curious within reach of their deadly powers,
 Perhaps the most curious deep sea anem- one is the EpiZoanthus, form which se- cretes sandy substance in it's body walls. After the free-swimming stage it always at taches itself to the back of shell inhabited by hermit crab, and soon begins to absorb the she'll The crab thus transports the amenone from place to place; but ill return it is furnished with comfortable, trans- portable house, which grows at about the same rate as the hermit grows and Is thus an accommodating house. If the shell was not absorbed the hermit would Outgrow it and leave it, and the anemone would be obliged to remain in one place. This is a remarkable case of division of labor among the lower animals, entirely different kinds working together for the common good. One furnishes the house for crab with very delicate unprotected abdomen, while the crab returns the favor by transporting the other from place to place, and keeping it upright

A DOG STORY.

The sagacity of Noted Divine's Canine
 Our distinguished contributor, Bishop Clark, of Providence, R. l., sends us the following capital dog story:
 Last Sunday night our favorite dog, an intelligent Irish setter, who goes by the name of Marquis, having left the house at ten o'clock, and not returning ip due season, was locked out. As he did not appear the next morning, it was feared that he was stolen; but on Mon- day noon he said he saw the dog enter the car at Warwick, twelve miles away, with the evident intention of returning home by that conveyance. The pre- sumption is that, when he found there was no admission for him at the house in town, he inferred that the family must have returned to their home in the country. which they had left only few days before, and, accordingly, he started off at midnight to find his way there.
 On discovering his error, and after lingering about the solitary country house a sufficient length of time, he started for the noon railway train, and, without the formality of securing a ticket, took his place among the passen. gers. As he was we'll known to the con- ductor, his neglect to pay his fare wal condoned, and he reached his journey end in safety, having made no mistake as to the proper train for him to take. or as to the time of its starting.-N r LedQer,

An kinds of starfish are found in the

All kinds of starfish are found in the depths of the sea. There is every variety, from the fve-armed to those with fifteen arms, and from those which are nearly pentagonal in form to the kinds which are formed of a mere disk, having five narrow, brittle arms radiating from it. This latter, the brittle star, always comes to the sur face with it's arms moro or less broken. fOu it has the power of snapping them off at will, and from appearances 1t must use thls power very often, though it certainly looks like cutting off the nose to spite the face. There is a form intermediate between this and the true starfish, called Brisinga, which has the same power, and, although 1t has twelve arms over foot long, they are ire auently taken with all the arms gone and only the disk let. True basket stars are not found deeper than one hundred fath- oms, but allied forms much smaller are taken in the very deepest water, cllngng to the branches of cOrals. Off Cape Goa m quite shallow water the AstrOphyton, the true basket form, exists in such sOundance as to be taken by bushels in the deep sea trawl. The Antedon, a variety or Crlnotu intermediate between that group ana the brittle stars, is often found in great num- bers, but it always breaks ltselt lnto a thousand pieces. The true crlnolds, or stone lilies, have never been found Tn thls part of the ocean, though further south they abound.--Rdlph s. Tdrr, in W. Y.

Be this as it may, the doll is at present carefully stored away in the National Mu- scum Strange though it may seem, it is only rarely that bones of fishes and ceta- ceans or even pieces of wood or iron are are taken. When we do find wood tiS only in small pieces and badly eaten by deep-sea animals. There must be a continual rain of such matter because of the abundance ot large fishes and cetaceanS in this region, which, when they die must drop to the bot tom. No doubt as soon as they reach bot tom they are seized upon and devoured. The presence of phOsphateS in the mud is proof of this Echini, or sea urchins are known to eat bOneS A story is told, upon the authority of gentleman present at the time, about some tile fish taken from one hundred and fifty fathOms, three of which had in their stOmachs bones of mutton chops brown overheard from the steamer Fish Hawk that morning. Several times when we set our travis and left them down an hour or two, some of the fishes were found to be almost completely eaten by am- phipod crusteceans From this it would seem that anything edible would be de voured at short notice. It is estimated by Prof Verrill, 1 believe, that all the mud, or bottom, has passed through the stomach of some animal at least once. This does not seem improbable when we consider the fact that certain sea cucumbers, which are very abundant, eat mud alone, and continually have their intestnes full, not unlike the earth worm. Iron soon deoXidizes. The only relics of fishes that we find are an Oc- casional sharks tooth and many otoliths of fishes, both of which are hard to destroy.

How Little old Man Doubled His

 ''I tell you wot it is, it pays ter study human natur," remarked little, grizzly man, with a gray tippet around his neck who was standing on Madison street, near the bridge. On either side of him, about ten feet distant, was pail with lemon-drops heaped up on the top.
 (Which is your stand?" inquired his auditor.
 The little man paused and cast with ering look of scorn at the questioner.
 sI owns lem both, young man. That's my scheme. It pays ter study human natur. See that man, said the little old man, lowering his voice. Watch him now"
 The man indicatedwas just passing the first pail of lemon-drops.
 ."Lemo! Lemor' shrilly shouted the little man. Warranted to cure coughs and colds. Only five cents, a half dime"
 The stranger, as he passed the first outpost of lemon-drops, looked at them in scared way out of the corners of his eyes. He seemed torn by eontending emotions He faltered for an instant, and seemed on the point ofstopping and turning back. Then, as if fighting the temptation away, he passed on.
 'Watch him. whispered the little old man, with chuckle.
 The stranger walked by with firm tread and determined look on his face. When he came to the second relay of lemon-drops he stopped. He almost staggered; look of resignation swept over his face, and jamming his hand down into his pocket he halted before the lemon-drops.
 The little old man was already on hand to wait upon him. When the GUS toner had departed, munching his lem on-drops, the little, gray-tippeted old man gave vent to hoarse chuckle.

At all depths even as deep as has been explored. we find life to be very abundant and in great variety, every group of the an imal kingdom being represented there ex- cept the higher vertebrates and the insects proper. One of the most abundant groups encountered is that called GOrgonia, or soft coral, to which the sea fans belong. The stony corals are represented only by the one polyped cup coral. This is simply a sea anemone surrounded by stony coat Primnoa and ParagOrgia, the bush coral and tree coral, are remarkable tor their great size and beauty, the former being delicate pink, the latter pink bordering upon the red. Specimens of the tree coral four feet in length bear evidence of being mere branches, while we have taken trag- ments of bases which must have been ten or fifteen feet high and nearly that number of feet in width. The animals forming this colony produce in unison a rather tough, spOngy mass, branching ana growing. The pOlyps can contract and withdraw into this mass, but are fixed per manently ill one place.
