"She," which follows Kiralty at the Chicago opera house, is destined to create an immense sensation. In a spectacular way it is wonderfully grand, and the wild, wierd qualities of Haggard's great novel have been admirably retained in the dramatiza- tion. The Post, of Washington, where the piece was played last week, says "The stage setting throughout leaves nothing to be desired, and the fire scene in the last act is wonderfully realistic, as is also Holly's leap over the fearful abyss in the third act. The choruses, both in the second and third acts, are very effective, and the hot potting' scene in the second act closely realized the description of that horror in the novel; and the audience last night seemed to wait with keen ex pec- tation to the last" There are nearly 100 people in the cast, all the promi- nent characters being we'll taken, and chorus of nearly forty-five voices renders the music, which is strangely effective and in keeping with the sit nations. The piece will run two weeks, and every one who has read the novel will feel an intense desire to witness the grand spectacular produc- tion of such wierd and interesting novel.

UTILITY OF VOLCANOES.
Prof. shaler. in scribner,s.


 The solid matter thrown out by volcanoes is the most important con- tribution to the materials which the sea has at it's disposal for the nourish- ment of its life and for the formation of strata. The quantity of the pum- iccous and finely pulverized material is enormous. When it falls upon the sea it either floats for a time or at once sinks into the depths. In either case it is, to great extent, dissolved in the ocean waters, and so contrib ut tes to the store of materials which may be appropriated by the organic life of the sea. When it falls on the land, it is generally so incoherent that it is easily swept away by the rains, and so comes quickly into the ocean. The importance of this contribution to marine sediments has been over- looked by geologists, but it is easy to see that it may amount in mass to something like as much as the earthly matter which is brought to the sea by the rivers. The volcanoes of the Java districts alone have within a century thrown out mass of this fragmentary rock amounting probably to not less than 100 cubic miles, and perhaps to twice this quantity. Now, the Mis- sissippi river carries out in the form of dissolved matter, mud and sand about one cubic mile in twenty years, or five cubic miles in century; thus these volcanoes of the Java districts have brought up from the depths of the earth and contributed to the sea many times as much detritus as has been conveyed to the ocean by the greatest river of North America. AL lowing for the porosity of the vol canic dust, it still seems not unlikely that the elections from a half dozen great volcanoes of the East Indian archipelago, in the period of little more than century, from 1772 to 1883, far exceeded that brought into the ocean by all the rivers of North America in the same period.
 Although the volcanoes of this dis trict are by far the most powerful which are known, we still cannot fairly reckon that their elections represent anywhere near the half of the total quantity which came to the earth's surface from such vents during the above named period of III years. For during this time some scores of great craters were in eruption, includ- ing Skaptar, in Iceland, Vesuvius, Htna, various volcanoes in South America and elsewhere. It seems, therefore, not unlikely that the solid materials contributed by volcanoes to the sea floor, may, on the average, amount to as much as that taken by the rivers from the land. Among these solid substances which are elected by volcanoes we find some of the most indispensable elements of organic life, including phosphorus, soda, potash, and other materials. The value of these materials to vege- tation may be judged by the fertility which so often characterizes the re- gions in the immediate vicinity of volcanic cones which cast forth large amounts of ash. If the rainfall be sufficient this ash quickly decomposes into fertile soil, which tempts the husbandman to replant the fields as fast as they are ravageG by the explo- sions.

THE SIcILIAN VESPERS.
lence Der sea and earth

Silence OCT sea and earth
 With the veil of evening fell, As the convent tower sent deeply forth The chime of the vesper bell; One moment, and that solemn sound Fell on the willing ear; But a sterner echo passed around,
 Which the boldest shook toshear. The startled monks thronged up
 In the torch-lIght cold and dim, And the priest let fall his incense cup,
 And the virgin hushed her hymn, For bodng clash, and changing tramp, And summoning voice were heard, And fretted wall and tombstone damp
 To the fearful echo stirred. The peasant heard the sound,
 As he sat beside hls hearth, And the laugh and dance were hushed around, And the iireside tale of mirth. The chieftain shook in his hammered hall
 As the sound of war drew nigh, And the warden shrank from the castle wall As the gleam of spears went by. Woe, woe to the stranger, then,
 To the chief and mailed lordl They were gathered there, those doomed men, To the harvest of the sword; For the wounded pride of an injured land Had burst it's iron thrall, And vengeance cried, with d DiOOd-feu hhhu "Woe, woe to the sons of Gaul" Proud beings fell that hour,
 The young and passing fair, And the flame went up from dome and tower The avengers arm was there. Then the morning sun, with quiet smile, Shone forth OCT hill and glen, Der ruined temple and dome and pile
 And the ghastly forms of men, Ave- the sunshine sweetly smiled
 As it's early glance came torth, It had no sympathy with the wild
 And terrible things of earth. And the man of blood that day might read,
 In language freely given. How i'll the dark and midnight deed
 Became the light of heavenl -E1chdnge.

-..aa Leigh Hunts Social Spirit.

Mrs. James T. Fields, in scribner's Magazine
 Leigh Hunts association with the men of letters of his time was close and single hearted. No man ever held more firmly to the path he had chosen. He was indefatigabiy at work. To call man of his tastes and temperament no lover of pleasure would seem strangely inconsistent :;
 but his pleasures were taken in Shakespeare's forest, in Spencer's pal ace, in Cowboys garden, in Herberts church. He need not leave his own fireside for his finest enjoyments, and it was seldom indeed that Lord Hol-
 land or anybody else could lure him away from his writing-desk to the dinner table. He was no diner out nevertheless, he became the intimate of the most interesting men of his time. He was the friend and biogra- pher of Byron, he was greatly beloved by Shelley, and we have already seen how mnch he contributed to the hap piness of Keats. He loved Shelley more deeply than the rest, and saw him much more intimately but Car lyle, Hazlitt, Lamb, and Barry Corn wall, not to mention other famous writers, musicians, and artists of his day,, were all upon friendly terms with him. Once only did we meet him at dinner, at Mrs. Proctcr's. It was memorable occasion. Adelaide Procter, Hawthorne, Sumner, King lake and other celebrities were pres ent; but Leigh Hunts winning aspect and delightful talk made the occasion truly sympathetic and agreeable. can recall, as we left the table, Barry Cornwall putting his arm about Hunts shoulder, as they went up the stair, with the atfectionate look of one who saw his dear friend only too rarely. Indeed we were afterward told it was the last time he dined out in com- pany.
 His social spirit ia shown by the manner of his reading. He could never keep the good things to himself. He was truly "The Indicator" and "The Seer'' for those who were to read after him. Up and down the pages run notes and marks to attract the attention of the unwary. No fine epithet, no delicate allusion, no fitting word were lost upon his sensitive ear.

Marvels of Iugglery.

v
 The conjuror's trade is one which demands a tremendous amount of pa- tience and skill. A correspondent of the London Globe says, in regard to the elder Hermann, that he seemed to defy the impossible. Once on Change at Buenos Ayres, on being challenged to exhibit some trick, he lifted his hat and displayed his own boot on his head-this without going near table or, as far as any one had noticed, seek ing any concealment for his bare foot, or an opportunity to remove his hat. For special occasions he spared no time, trouble or expense tha: some feat might wear an appearance of com plete spontaneity.
 At Constantinople, when dining with number of gentlemen, he raised his glass, just filled, above his head, and, attracting the attention of all present by crying, "What beautiful wine!" caused the liquid to sink in the glass and vanish. When the glass was replenished, the feat was repeated i; the third time the glass also disap- peared.
 The glamor of this trick seemed perfectly accidental, but great fore thought and energy had been expended upon it, especially in connection with the difficulties of ascertaining the pre- else pattern of the glasses likely to be used, and of matching them.
 Hermann would never suffer him. self to be outdone by other necroman- cers. When they worked with pig cons he used geese; and from hat he would produce not only tin goblets, cardboard boxes and compressible balls, but metal teakettles and lighted lamps.
 His singularly long, spare body ad- mitted of two tiers of "loading pock- cts" in his dress coat, thus affording great facilities for concealment.
 He designed an ingenious wand for transformation into living snake. This was hollow tube, painted black to resemble his usual magic wand. A snake of suitable length was caused to enter it, and metal cap was screwed firmly on as soon as it's tail was fairly inside.
 The head would then project about an inch at the other end, over which rather loosely fitting cap was placed, so that the whole looked like an ordi- nary ebony baton.
 To the screwed end a fine silk cord was attached, which passed up the sleeve, across the chest beneath the shirt front, and down the other arm, where it was tied round the wrist, the length being so adapted that it ad- mitted of the wand's being held with both hands when the arms were bent, but effected its rapid withdrawal up the sleeve when the opposite arm was extended.
 The loose cap was removed, and concealed in the palm of the left hand the snakes head was exposed, grasped and drawn forward, and the action of extension caused the wand to disap- pear. The effect was marvellous.

IN THE SIXTH WARD.
A Mass Meeting IndOrses the
Straight Democratic Candi.

A Mass Meeting IndOrses tho
Straight Democratic Candi-
date.
A mass meeting of about 300 Of the
citizens of the Sixth precinct of the
Sixth ward was held at McDonnelps
hall, corner George and Ohio streets,
last evening. p. r. Mcdonnell was
chairman, and several prominent citi-
Zens made speeches. Judge Woods said
it was with pleasure he addressed a
meeting in the Sixth ward in the inter-
est of the aldermanic candidate, Mr..
Melady, and recommended him
office. He also spoke very highly
in favor of M. j, DAILY for city comp
troller. He scored Mr.. Roche as being
to blame for the failure in the cOnstruc-
tion of the levee in the Sixth ward, as
the amount of money required by law
in such cases was not paid into the city
treasury, and Mr.. Roche should not
have allowed the proceedings to go on
uutil the required amount was forth
coming, and the district court so held in
the recent case of Bernheimer vs.. The
City of st. Paul. Short speeches were
also made by Messrs. Mortenson, G.
B. Stanley, James Meiady. Peter DAILY,
P. r.. Mcdonnell, Mr.. Mccarthy and
others, all of whom favored the support
of the straight Democratic ticket. j. G.
Mccarthy introduced the following reso-
lutions, which were unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That we indorse the nomi-
nation of James Melady as candidate for
alderman of the Sixth ward, and that
we will give him our cordial support
upon the day of election, and,
Resolved, That we are in favor of and
will vote for the issuing of bonds for
the building of the Broadway and State
street bridge.
St. Paul daily globe., 1888-04-29

the best known business men in the
city, and he will draw out large vote.
He IS German and has heavy back
ing among that class of citizens.
In the Sixth ward Mr.. Melady is
strong, both in the upper and lower dis
tricts. He is going to get heavy sup
port from those who favor the Broad
way bridge, for his sentiments on that
point are we'll known. Friends. of the
other candidates have been, represent
ing that he was opposed to the issue of
bridge bonds, but he votes "YeS' on
that question every time. He is known
as "Jim'' Melady, and regarded as one
of the most honest men that live in the
Sixth ward.
Joseph Matz, in the Eighth ward, is
working the territory in that ward for
all there is in it. He has developed
more strength than was thought to be
out there on the Democratic side, and
has good fighting chance.
Since the Republicans kicked off Mr..
der as candidate in the Ninth ward,
John Gehan's chances have been i'm
proving. He was always solid, and the
hard work himself and his friends have
been doing will tell in noticeable shape
on election day. MIR. Gehan is young
man who shakes hands with you in an
honest sort of way, and looks at you
with sharp, blue eye. He will be one
of the handSOmeSt men in the next
council.
There are four or five candidates out
in the Tenth ward, and Alexander
Adams, the Democratic candidate, has
more than even chances. The sub
stantial men favor his candidacy, for he
is one of them. He is one of the most
reliable and upright men of that suburb.
He is strong with the workingmen.
Dan Baker, in the Eleventh, will draw
good vote from the residents of Mer-
riam Park, w no have seen him grow up
among them. He is young and hard
worker, and will get more than the
party strength of the ward.
Fred Nelson and Frank G. Burgess,
the candidates for justice of the peace,
and Thomas Brennan and Thomas
Ward, for constables, are industriously
saving wood and making little noise in
the campaign. They are confident of
election.
James Schoonmaker's name as can
didate for associate judge of the mu-
nicipal court will be on both tickets,
and if he lives until Tuesday night he
will be elected.

DEs MONIES, To-, April 29.-A very
sad affair occurred in Marion county
last Thursday, by which bright little
nine-year-old girl came near losing her
life. She is daughter of A. Good
speed, who resides midway between
Bussey and Tracy, two stations on the
Des Moines branch of the 90" The
little girl had been attending school all
the past winter, and the school house is
located mile from the Goodspeed resi-
dence. Last Thursday evening, failing
to return home at the usual hour, the
family became alarmed, and Mrs. Good
speed started out in quest of the miss
ing child. The search was short one.
In crossing field through which the
little girl had always returned home the
mother was Mortified at the sight of
huge dog, which was crouched down
over the child and actually devouring
it. 1t was with the utmost difficulty
that the animal was driven away from
its horrid repast. When Mrs. Good
speed reached her child she was yet
alive and able to talk. She said that
when she was attacked by the dog she
called for help, but this seemed to make
the animal so much more ferociOus that
she lay still and prayed to God for help.
The child is horribly mutilated. Her
left breast is eaten away until the lung
is exposed, and both her lower limbs
are terribly lacerated. 1t is not thought
that she can recover. The dog is a
strange one in the neighborhood and
has not been seen since Thursday.
