I am a resident of the Twenty-fourth

I should have chance at wild duck or so.
went to favorite spot of mine where

hardly placed my pole in order and COM
menced to bait my hook when heard a
great commotion in the woods near by, and
saw an animal that looked to me like wolf
or bear making straight for me. dropped
my pole, seized my gun. took good aim and
blazed away. The beast turned and, below
ing with pain, ran back to the woods, I in
pursuit.
The next minute heard mans voice in
great anger yelling: -

some darned fool did not shoot that calfl''
You ought to have seen me run. I be-

and the worst OF it was forgot pole and
fishing tackle. When related to my wife
and mother-in-law what happened to me,
they both as with one voice, exclaimed:
"What blind fool you are, Barneyi" and
wanted me to go back for my fishing tackle,
but didn't.

A Notable snIe.

And one that is we'll worthy the attention
of the citizens of Pittsburg is the immense
assignee's sale at auction at 723 and 725
Liberty street, corner Eighth, being the en-
goods, carpet and rug house, amounting in
value to over S150,000. The goods are all
of the very finest quality and are sold in
quantities to suit the purchaser. A sale OF
this magnitude is of rare occurrence, espec-
tally as everything is without limit or re-
serve. No matter what price you may
offer, you get the article, whether it be a
piece OF print or fine silk. Those who would
secure some OF these choice goods should
make it point to attend at once. The
sales are held daily at 10 A. M, 2 and 7:S0

motive will reverberate through the soli-
tudes where the strokes from the axes OF
Washington's pioneers echoed as they
blazed the first road through "The Shades
OF Death"
Mr.. Shriver Stewart, owner of vast tracts
of mountain land, is said to have already
granted right of way through 1000 acres
and to have donated all the timber needed
for ties in laying the tracks over the same.
Other far-seeing men are following his ex
ample of iberality, and the road will prob
ably be under way in the near future. The
route will require some bold and difficult
engineering, but the valuable resources Of
the territory which the new road will make
available justify the undertaking.
With this additional feeder and outlet for
the grand coke and iron industries already
fourishing In the county, their increased
prosperity seems assured.
With the prospect of this great opening
up, we feel like making a most earnest ap-
peal to the public spirit and local pride Of
Fayette's best citizens to preserve, as we'll
as may be, the historic shrines within her
borders.
Leave it not for the lover of the pictur-
esque or the student of history, who makes

make up the family mourning, and that she
had worked without losing any time
The materials used Tor the costumes are
bought wholesale and are stored away till
wanted. There is an immense consum ption
OF tulle aud tarletane for the dresses Of the
female members of the ballet troupe. Mile.
Mauri. the premiere danseuse, is the only
one whose multitudinous skirts are all made
Of tulle. The other dancers have the three
or four outer skirts only in tulIe, the rest
being composed of tarletane.
PREPARING THE COSTUMES.
Each one of the leading members of the
company is provided with dresser whose
business it is, not only to assist the artistic in
dressing during performance, but also to
superintend all the details of the costume, to
see that the shoes are clean, the train well
brushed, the laces, chemisette, etc. perfectly
fresh, and everything in tact in faultless
order. This arrangement relieves the prima
donna's mind of good deal of respon-
sibility.
The costumes are always furnished by
the establishment; but if any one of the
singers desires to wear dress of her own
providing, she can usually settle the matter
with the director. Thus when Mile. He'll
bron appeared at the Grand Opera as
Marguerite, she was allowed to have her
first costume composed of Chinese Grape, and
made for her at one of the leading dress
makers of Paris But the model prescribed
by the traditions of the house must always
be strictly followed. Marguerite must
always wear tight-ftting white dress with
q long train in the second and third acts of
s'Faust." The correct and picturesque
medieval costume worn by Miss Ellen
Terry in the Lyceum production of the
drama of "Faust" in London, and afterward
assumed by Nine. Albani in the opera at
Covent Garden, here in Paris is not to be
thought of for q moment; 1t would be con-
trary 20 traditionl
The acoustic properties of the Grand Opera
House are very peculiar. The voice OF a
singer must possess remarkable carrying"
qualities in order to fill the auditorium in
any adequate fashion. Anything that is
spoken on the stage must be uttered close to
the footlights ii it is intended to be heard by
the audience. This is SO well understood by
the members of the company that they con-
verse together with perfect freedom at the
back of the stage when not engaged in the
business Of the scene, being sure that what
they have to say will never be heard beyond
the tootlights, which, in fact, tneYer is.
There is one point, not far from the prompt
er's box, where the voice in singing is more
easily heard than at any other place on the
stage. This was well understood by M. Jean
de Reszke, and he is accustomed always to
stand there when the business of the scene
permits him to choose that position.
Such are few of my impressions and OBJ
servations as a member of the Paris Opera
Company. Many more things might be
said that would be new and interesting to
the general public. if not to professionals.
But 1 think have written enough to show
what an important center this house is for
the preservation and development of true
musical and dramatic art.

A Rich Country Whose Resources Are
Sill Comparatively Undevelopsd.
November Harper's.1
The forests of Columbia abound in trees
which are used for building purposes, for
dyeing, and for cabinet work; and balsamic
plants and gums, medicinal and otherwise
useful to man, are no less abundant. In
the exhibition of natural products which
took place in the capital Of the republic in
1870 there were more than 700 kinds ofthe
aforementioned woods.
The country also abounds in rich mines
of gold and silver, in iron, copper, lead ,
emeralds, amethysts, rubies, rock-cfystal,
marble, porphyry, jasper. jet, salt, coal,
sulphur, lime, gypsum, and other mineral
products. On the coast, especially on the
coasts of the Isthmus of Panama and OF the
bay of Rio Hasha, are found pearls and
coral. Notwithstanding the abundance of
these natural riches, however, the develop
ment of the material resources of the coun-
try has been hitherto almost completely
neglected.

They Know a Good Thing When They Sc,

They Know a Good Thing When They See IL.
We have great confidence in the practical
common sense of the people in this COM
munity. Propose to them q new idea or
system of conducting any large enterprise,
and if it is good you can rest assured of their
support. No better evidence of the truth of
this statement is needed than the wonderful
success of the Everett Club, or cooperation
plan of selling pianos adopted by Alex.
Ross, of Allegheny. This plan is simple,
but very effective. Mr.. Ross proposes to
conduct the piano business by making large
contracts for $50 pianos at one time, thus
getting the lowest possible cash price and
saving each member of the club at least $75
in the price of each piano, at the same time
he gives everyone an opportunity to get
fine piano. The plan is so arranged that
members can pay in the way most convenient
to themselves, from 81 a week up to the
whole amount. Since this plan has been
adopted Mr. Ross has had to increase his
force of employees six times, and they have
all they can do to supply the demand. The
system is good, and the people know it. All
that is necessary to convince anyone is to
examine the piano and understand the plan.

The warning Of the Bu.h.

It Is only the weird rustling
} OF withered, d-blown bush,
That stands by the roadside signing
In the autumn evenings hush;
It thrills as though it were human,
And feels encroaching death
That tinges with hectic beauty
Its leaves-list what 1t saith:
Idreamt sweet dreams In springtime days,
Islept meath the summer moon,
shed soft tears in autumn's haze.
But the chill came all too soon.
Dream on, young lover, while you may,
Life's roses bloom for some:
Bask in warm loves efuigent ray,
Yet chilling age must come.
One must go first, and one remain
Alone on the road to death,
And sadly sigh, as now do
In the autumn's frosty breath;
The hopes you bear. the charms you wear,
Must lose their mystic light
And winters SHOWS drift Ger the rose
That once was fair and bright
Pass on! I can but whisper low,
With these withered, wind-blown leaves,
stand alone, and make my moan
Like trembling soul that grieveG
Pass on, leave me desolatel
Ere long shall be dumb,
With not a leaf to sigh my grief
When chilling death shall come.
