Washington Irving as a ''First-Nlghter."
One of Washington Irving's nieces is my
authority for the assertion that he was "a
tremendous frst-nighter-quite az persist
ent as Henry Bergh in seeing a new play
brought out" After looking over his
New York morning paper at Sunnyside
and discovering hat a new play vas to
have its first presentation hat night at
the Park, he would remark to his nieces:
81 think win go down to New York to-
day, girls" "Why, uncle, what takes you
down theresT they would say. "Oh, Ihave
alittle business. Imay remain all night
at Mr.. Howland's.r After he had left the
room the girls" would rush for the paper
with. an bet s. there is n new play COM
ing out. Let's see" Sure enough, there
was the announcement and the secret was
discovered. He used to admit there was
always a delightful mystery behind the
drop-curtain. He got $4,000 a year as
one OF the executors of Mr.. Astor's VIII,
and the only thing he ever did was TO go to
the Office once n year and sign his name
to a paper which he supposed to be n "re-
port" When he returned home with his
money on that evening he always in
dulged in ironical allusion on his great fa-
tigue from the excessive labors of the day.

In Paris there are numerous professional

Their charges vary with the desired grade

circus performers may charge 1000 francs
for a single scholar, but even for 8 francs
suburban tutors will undertake TO teach a
dog quite a number OF tricks. They keep
sample scholars. accomplished balloons

Tuition, however, is invariably impaired

like 10 divulge their business secrets, and
besides wish TO avoid trouble with moral
lists n la Bergh, No charge Is made If the

As one passes from North Carolina to
South Carolina across the Blue Ridge he
discovers a wonderful change. On the
North CarDlina side Is an apparent want
Of self esteem, n tranquility and almost
peasant character, which, so far from be-
ing repulsive to strangers, is to all men of
experience a sign OF more hopeful future
strength. As soon as one descends the
mountains into South Carolina he notices
that people regard him with more interest,
as II they at once picked him out for a
stranger and wondered what he was doing
there. The young men carry self-con-
%sciousness in their countenances. They are

And at a clean hearth-stnne she'd sit,
And sing wi mickle glee,

She'd sing them a to me.
The aud Scotch sangs, the blythsome

The sangs beyond compare,
Shed sing them over and owe again,
And tighten a my care.
But lays and years hae come and game,
Ard my ain Maggie GREEN,
Nae mair will sing the aud Scotch sangs
In my aud Scottish hame.
She's sleepin' sound in the kirk-yard,

Is ta'en ava frae me.

Albert Messner, captain OF a Bremen
East-lndiamnn, vouches for an incident
which seems to prove that the friendships
OF animals. even OF different species, can
assume the form Of uncomfortable pas
sions. In Singapore the captain had
boughtn fine gibbon ape Ck%ylobAtes niger,
which seemed rather slow in getting over
its shyness, and would squeal at the mere
touch OF a human hand, but soon became
the fast friend Of a good-natured young
N~ewfoundlander. They would roll and
romp together on the deck. run races along
the bulwarks, and often sleep in the
same corner, unless the roughness Of the
whether made It necessary to transfer the
gibbons couch to the cabin. Near Sum
bawa the schooner encountered a violent
gale, which played havoc with a portion OF
the rigging and N the midst OF the CON
fusion, Omar, tho observation-disclosures, was
knocked overheard by n swinging spar.
The ship was s%cttdding along Mt a twenty
knot rate, and ~ would have been worse
than useless 10 lower a boat, but the heart
of every man on board was wrung when
they heard through night and darkness the
bowling appeal ~ their poor dog, who was
making desperate efforts to overtake the
fast-receding chance OF salvation. While
all hands were Juggling away at the
reeflng ropes several sailors noticed the
gibbon dashinN In wild excitement about
the deck. and altered yells that sounded
like answers 10 the cries OF his drowning
friend. At Ia st the captain himself heard
those yells from the stern Of the ship, and,
Fastening back, thought that he heard a
splash in the water, but the darkness OF
the night prevented him from recognizing
the dim object seeming to toss about In
the wake OF she schooner. As soon as the
storm ahateJ they searched and halloed
all over the ship, but only the bowling Of

Santa Fe, is to some extent, the reasure
ground of curiosity seekers. In many OF
the shops there are collections of indian
goods, blankets, pottery, bows and stone
utensils that are half real and half manu-
factured goods. One needs to be an acute
judge of the articles offered for sale to es-
cape being deceived. But il fa waits, the
stranger need not Tear paying his money
for ~contraband objects. Sooner or later
an old, gray-haired senorita will appear,
loaded down with Indian-made baskets, in
which are specimens of pueblo pottery,
bits Of turquois, a blanket or two, and
arrows and bow enough to start a mu-
scum with. Squatting down in some
sunny corner the good dame waits with
the patience of job for customers, and at
evening steals silently off to her cabin on
the banks Of some neighboring stream.
She is a type Of a race fast dying out IL

pueblo of SAINT Fe who rebelled against
the Spaniards. And it was she herself,
perhaps, who was once the p%rettiest Indian
