The new play by Mark Twain and W.
d. Howells is said 10 be a dram attic fail
ure. 1t was to be put on the New York
boards this week. The play is called
''rhe American Claimant" and 1t is
stated that the character is so much
overdone that not even the gallery gods
will laugh at him. Twain got up a CON-
pauy and rented the Lyceum Theatre, but
has decided to pocket his misfortunes
with as good grace as possible, and try to
reconstruct the play next winter. The
impression is growing that Twain some
time since, pumped his well OF humor dry.

The cry Of ''school butter" would raise
a riot very quickly quarter of a century
ago. Now the complaint is made that the
steward of one of our American Dothe-
boys halls, the Chester Spring (Pa. J
school for orshans, has been feeding the
children on the cheapest kind of cleo
margarine, and selling the compound to
his neighbors. All who ate the stuff were
made i'll. The steward has been prose-
cuted for selling the bogus butter, but
there is no law under which he can be
punished for feeding it to the orphans,
and they did not have spirit enough left to
rebel against the bogus school butter.

ing ready in the harbor. The prison

not among them, for vigorous efforts
were being made in his behalf The
shin at last set sail, but it was never to
reach the South American coast The
vessel foundered before it was out OF
the Bay of Biscay. and every prisoner
on board was drowned. No wonder
that Latreille afterwards, in one of his
great chronological works, when de-
ecribing the kind of beetle that he found
in his cell, and speaking of it under its
scientific name of Necro5ia rufcollis,
calls it s'an insect very dear to me. for
in those disastrous times. when France
groaned TREMENDOUSLY under the weight
of endless calamities. this little animal
was the miraculous cause of my liberty
and safety"
After this providcntial escape, Lat
relies friends were SO far successful
that he was permitted to come out of
prison as convalescent, although it
was stipulated that he was to be deliv-
cred up whenever the authorities
wanted him. After a time, however,
his friends managed to have his name
taken off from the list of those who
were to be exi.ed; and SO, though even
King Louis himself was put to death by
the furious French people, yet this man
was saved to become 1.-The Prince of En-
tomOlogy," as he was surnamed. But,
although he was one of the greatest
scientific men of France. and published
numerous works on his favorite study,
and became Professor of Zoology in the
Museum of Natural History in Paris,
yet he never forgot his miraculous de-
liverance; and, after his death. ar

The True Irish imam tho Most ApprOachabla
OF Human Beings.

| The True Irish man tho Most ApprOachablc
OF Human Beings.
The diet Of the Irishman in this part
of the country is. of course. potatoes
and milk. As he himself puts it. he
has potatoes twenty-One times week.
In the event of blight. such as the
historic one, the result in certain parts
of Ireland could scarcely be less disas-
trous than at any former period. If
one may judge by the physique of its
consumers, the diet requires no recon-
mendation of the medical faculty, for
more stalwart race it would be diff
cult to find. In this corner of the
country so long preserved" we
should expect to find the natural Irish
man. and we certainly found him. The
native Irish is almost universally
spoken. but at the same time the ma
jority of the younger generation speak
English with a brogue of the most ex-
quisite flavor. Here, also. we have the
lrishman in the typical attire to which
caricaturists have accustomed us. To
the visitor from the other island, it is a
blue-tailed coat and knee-breeches at
work in his wretched plot, like phi
losopher out for little recreation. 1t
is not so much the style of his gar
ments, however. that makes his pictur-
esqueness; it is their positively miracu-
lous raggedness. We feel that
this raggedness has quite passed
the stage of disreputability. and has
actually become ornamentation. But
it is, above all, the hat that fixes the at
tention. We have often closely in
spected it and our wonder never
ceased how, in the course of single
life, any hat, however wcather-beaten
and however brutally used, could at
tain that pre-Adamite look. 1t is the
great charm of travel in Ireland that
one can become acquainted with its
people in so short time and on such
easy terms. The Irishman is the most
approachable of human beings. and as
the very Irishman the stranger wishes
to know is in most cases his own lord
and master. intercourse is thus made
doubly easy. If in the course of \
solitary walk you should desire the
solace of little conversation, you have
but to take your seat on one of the
turf walls that form the fences In these
parts of the country. If you are
smoker and produce your pipe, you
will present an additional inducement.
Before you are well seated you will be
saluted with: "a fine day. sir, God be
praiscd!' and careless figure will be
seen approaching with spade or pick
axe over his shoulder. Sharing your
tobacco with him. it win remain with
yourself to conclude the interview.
Before ten minutes have passed you
will have had the outlines of his family
history and his views on things in
general, not even excepting his priest.
At the end of as many hours CONVEX
sation as you please he will speed you
on your wey with fervent .sGod pre-
serve you long," and part with you az
if you had been his lifelong friend

wouLp.eE KINGS.


L NORWAY ana O0000fks
Sweden and Denmark are both q
present besieged by pretenders to the
throne. One in the Swedish province
of East Gothland claims to be the un-
fortunate Prince Gustaf, elder brother
Of the reigning King who, in the be-
ginning Of tbs century, while at field
mannuvre in Skone, suddenly fell
from his horse and died. 1t is to this
day believed by largo portion of the
peasants that Prince Gustaf did not
die, but was carried off to Norway be-
cause of his intention TO marry a girl
of humble birth. Having succeeded in
escaping, he lot his beard grow and
went to Italy, where. under the name
of Garibaldi, he effected the liberation
of that country. He is, however, no.
dead, but will come and be the King
of the Swedes! So much for the Swed.
ish pretendcr.
the Danish one has just turned up.
There has arrived in Copenhagen from
Stettin two men. father and son, the
former sixty and the latter twenty-one
years old, with trunk loaded with
papers and documents to prove that
they are the direct descendants of the
house of Oldenburg, and to show that
if ct the death of friedrich VII. they
had possessed these documents they
could have proved their exclusive right
to the throne. They both bear the orig
inal name of the house of G.uckburg,
Beck, and went the day after their ar
rival to the master of ceremonies to
seek an audience with the King. They
were directed to seek it through the
German Ambassador. being German
subjects. The Embassy. after some
parley. did not act, and the pretenders
tried themselves to obtain an audience
to suggest that their claims-which
are attested BY the highest German
authorities-may be subjected to
thorough scrutiny. To begin with,
they can claim an Inheritance of $780,
900 marks with which to carry on the
case. They then applied to the Stettin
authorities for recommendation to the
German Council of the Legation
Neither of the two men looks as an
adventurer. The older is tall and
with an arstOcratic bearing
and youthful anil winning manners.
His features are in an amazing degree
like those of the late Russian Car, SO
much so that any one who has seen the
Cars picture is struck with the re-
semblance. The older of the two
gentlemen has passed tho greater part
of his tim" in researches among the
archives and collections in Copenhagen.
Whole nights he studied his family his
tory, but he always was stopped ut
child. After fifteen years of
labor he has to his full satisfaction
proved that he is grandson's grandson
Of this vanished child. Besides. he has
in his possession armorial and other
precious things to strengthen his claims.
The young Beck bears strong resemb-
lance to Prince Waldemar. and his ac-
4uaintance with the affairs of the
House of Oldenburg is said to be the
most astonishing.-PaN Mall Gazctte.

A CRIB for the Feeding Lot.

To construct a serviceable crib for the
feeding lot four forked posts are set in
the ground at the corners of II nine-foot
square. In the forks are placed stout
poles, and on these are laid the floor and
is dult the crib. The posts make the pen
high enough for the swine to pass und9r
it; hence, any corn that falls through it
is eaten. The feeding floor is laid under
and around the pen. In the greatest
pork producing sections, nearly all the
hogs are fattened from October 1st to
january lst, the corn being fed to the
hogs as it is husked. In such a pen
nifty to one hundred bushels can be
thrown-enough to feed for two or three
days-when it is desired to do other
work. 1t is an easy matter to throw the
corn from the crib to the feeding floor,
and as the corn will never remain in the
crib longer than week, no roof is
required. Set the posts solidly in the
ground, for if the weight of the corn
should cause the crib to fall, it would
kill any fat hogs that might be under it.
The hogs cannot possibly get into this
crib, rats cannot infest ii, the materials
exist on nearly every farm and any
farmer can make it and in a short
time.
