Brute humanity.

Once in the city of Vienna, there was a
dread OF hydrophebia, and orders were
given to massacre all the dogs which were
found unclaimed or uncollared in the city
or suburbs. Men were employed for this
purpose. and they generally carried a
short stick. which they flung at the poor
prescribed animal with such certain aim
as ither to kill. or main It mortally, at
one blow
1t happened one day that. close to the
edge Of the river. near the Ferdinand's-
Brucke. one OF these men flung his stick
at wretched dog, but with such bad
aim that 1t fell into the river. The poor
animal, following his instinct. or his
teaching, Immediately plunged in, re-
deemed the stick. and laid it at the feet
OF its owner, who, snstching it up,
dashed out the creatures brains.
Which was the brute2
We may surmise what the Athenians
would have done to such a man from the
fact that they banished the judge of the
Areopagus. because he flung away the
bird which sought shelter in his bosom.
There are men in whom IS no spark of
gratitude or generosity. There are 9th.
ers who appreciate benefits received and
are happy in making grateful acknowl-
edgeme emit.
Rev. j. W. Asheman, one of the most
eloquent divines of Detroit. Mich writes
March Sd, 1888: "In 1884 I visited Chat
ham. Ont, to lecture and preach. Twas
in agoniZing pain (the result of kidney
disorders) and unable to dine with my
host. explained to Judge Woods what
was the matter. He asked me if was

Cure and was in better health than for
twenty-five years. l have everything to
lose and nothing to sain by making this
statement, save the approval of good

There are tens of thousands of people
in this country who have gained the ap-
proval of a good conscience in like
manner, and are not too bigoted to do
good.

OF Lolita the Chicago Evening Journal
speaks as follows.
Just as bright, lively, sparkling and
effervescent as ever. Lolita bounded upon
the stage at McVicker's theatre last even
ing and snilingly acknowledged the very
hearty reception accorded her by the
crowded house. The merry little comedi-
enne Is, to all appearances, as young as
when, in days gone by, she used to play
little Nell and the Marchioness in "Old
Curiosity Shop" and when 1.-The Little
Detective" was new and popular. There
is the same merry laugh, the same big,
bright eyes, the same irresistible voice and
the same graceful and bewltching kick up
of the little heels. The play in which she
appeared last evening was Pawn Ticket
3d." which was so favorably received last
season. The piece was duly commented
upon then and any extended mention of it
would Superfluous at the present time.
However, it might be well to observe that
it is the best thing Lolita has appeared
in for some time. 1t holds the attention of
the audience from start to finish, the story
being entertaining and cleverlv told. From
the opening pawnshop scene until the final
scene where the little girls wrongs are

served to Miss Maud and her guests by
her parents. The center of attraction at
this elegant spread was the birthday cake
consisting of nineteen layers, which was
presented Miss Maud by her sisters, Mrs
w, S. Young and Mrs. A. j. Crow. Miss
Maud WAS the recipient of many beautiful
and costly presents, among other things
was gold watch, chain ana case, the
cases of the watch being beautifully en-
graved and studded with diamonds; also
a ruby ring and some choice books After
spending very pleasant evening and at a

The benefit concert at Lincoln street
church Wednesday evening was we'll at
tended and highly enjoyable. All the
numbers We're good and Miss Hamblin's
pupils did, as usual, excellently. Taken as
a whole, the four vocalists, Miss Hobbs,
MesSrs. GarSt, Bracken and Smythe,
and of course, Miss Hamblin,
display a notable instance where strict
conformity and adherence to one system,
one which is worthy of the name, will
bring forth flattering resu Its. But as to
the instrumental part of the program
Prof. Sickner's pupil, Miss Carrie Bonetti,
deserves the most praise, her ''ReveTie"
being the most interesting number of the
program. Her technique is highly laud-
able. Her performance was good, clear,
smooth and without restraint nor not on
the other hand with any effected brilliancy.
James Mulvey's flute solo Adelaide was
also exceedingly well rendered, but was
not received with any degree of enthusi-
asm by the greater part of the audience,
whose silence was perhaps due to ''Beeth-
oven" written after the title, and as one
lady present expressed it, she didn't
want any 'highflutin' music in hers"
The Dewdrop Serenading Club played, and
very nicely, too, but with the addition of
more brass. a tuning fork and a little more
regard for each others instruments, the
club might be greatly improved.
