A CHICAGO WOMAN suffered so terribly from

OF the first act. she took the advice of her hus-

she was in clover until the performance was

SEVERAL IMPROVEMENTS are claimed in auto
copying printing presses by Mr.. T Reiner, of
Leipsic. He provides two cylinders which may
act as receiving surfaces for the writing and

vides the cylinders with surface composed of
mixture as follows: llU parts soluble glass,
10 parts whiting. 10 parts magnesium carbon
ate. lo parts sllcate OF IN lgnesla, 10 parts

The MANNER in which order is maintained in
the topter at the Metropolitan Opera House.
New Nork, says the Times of that city is
worthy Of emulation, if not exact imitation by
other parts Of the big theater. AS a rule, the
persons who ascend the seemingly never-eudIng
stairways which reach the big gallery are de-
voices OF music. and are more willing to take
trouble to hear it than they are to pay the big
prices IN the lower part of the auditorium
Ihey are exceedingly particular about absolute
quiet when the director raps for the beginning
81 the overture and, unless conversation is en-
tlrely stopped there comes from every part Of
the gallery chorus of Kisses, which forces at
tentlon to the uuwritten laws of the place. 1t
IS as rule, only in this place. too where one
sees scores Of the opera being carefully scanned
as the work IS played. The leaves OF the score
turn together and in the case OF a work of
leaves IN Vallambrosa.
