day at the Grosvenor whileI " ats was talk.

Goodwin was explaining the principles Of
Greek draping rc dnchess, Ellen Terry
entered leaning on the arm OF her new hus-
band and passed between the two. She
laughed,as she saw them both, and waving
her hand with one OF her exquisite little
comedy gestures, turned to her companion,
quite as amused as anyone else and said, II

PEN"
She has great power with the press, and
the London critics always stand By her.
Even her recent failure as Lady Macbeth
was not criticised, but was rathe= ascn6ed
to her being too sweet and lovely TO play
such horrible character. twas her virtue
and not her shame.
Henry Irving is her devoted slave, indeed
1t Is said that his chains tighten every year
and that he is now fast becoming only her
stage manager and even is sacrificing MINI
self for her glory, everything in his con-
ceptions being altered 10 suit her caprice OF
her capacity. Indeed it is loudly asserted
that he has whitfield his Macbeth down 50
as to give her greater prominence, and thas
ne does not even attempt to play it as ne
used to.
A WEAK LADY MACBETH.
She has said that she will sweep the tradi-
tons Of Siddons from the English stage, but
she is more likely to make us forget Lady
Macbeth by making her so feeble and CO.
quettish. She is born eomedienne and
her presentation Of this moving woman Of
gigantic purpose is weak in the extreme.
A believing dress, eloaks appliqued with
monstrous eonventionalized animals, great
bralds OF red hair hanging to her feet and
strung with jewels help to make the part
sensation, but even these toggeries are too
heavy for her style, and she moves about
outweighted with her cumbersome draper
les, and her little comedy gestures appear
ridiculous.
The mounting of the play does not COM
pare with that Of Faust. Macbeth" Is
essentially q play Of character and action,
and is dependent on great delivery Of its
great speeches for effect, not on its scenery.
But people 90 to the theater to see Ellen
Terry, not what she represents-she is
loveable personality and brighteus up the
scene like CLEAN Of sunshine, nobody cares
what she plays or what she does, she is Ellen
Terry and they are satisfied.
She dresses well in public and private,
and has an especial fondness for loose, how-
ing robes, like her gold dress In PortiG.
which she can fasten and arrange different
ly every time she puts them on to suit her
moods.
She is strange, lovely woman, and has
many noble traits. OLIVE WESTON.

HIS RIDE COST NOTHING.
A Man Who Could Beat the Conductor Now
Railroad President.


New York Sun.
Six or eight Of us were sitting around the
stove in the old Mansion House in Buffalo
one night decade Of years ago, and the
talk finally turned upon railroads and how
conductors had been beaten by deadheads.
One man told a story, to be followed by
another, and a New Yorker finally OBJ
served:
"Yes, but this was in the past, before
there was any real system or much sharp
ness. No one can beat a conductor in these
days"
"That's very true, added second. 'You
have got to either come down or get of. "
There was a quarter Of an hour Of such
talk, and then man who had moyzd into
the circle and remained silent, finally said:
swell, dunno. am sharp enough to
ride from here to Batavia without paying
fare"
'No, haven't"
"Do you mean to say that you can ride
without ticket or money!"
'T have done il"
SIS the conductor relative Of yours7"
-'No, sir. ="
''You didn't put up any personal prop
srty?"
"Not thing" -
"WeI, ifit-caa be done I'd like to see -it.
There are three of us going down, and I'll
put up S25 that you can't ride for nothing"
''YOu won't put the conductor on to me?"
"No."
"Well, I'm going that way myself, and
believe I'll cover that bet. The UNDER
standing is that show neither pass, ticket,
nor cash, nor secure the conductor"
"ThRt's the size OF it. Put your money in
the hands of this gentleman, Judge Davis,
who lives at Batavia"
The money was put up, and next morning
we all went down to the train together. The
man who was to beat the road told US to 90
into the smoker and he would presently join
us. We got seats and the train pulled out,
and we were wondering if our man hadn't
been hauled off before the start, when the
door opened and he entered with the saluta-
ton:
''Tickets, If you pleasep
Say. if you keep on you'll be general
manager some dayl" sneered the loser when
he saw that he had been roped.
He did better than that. A year ago he
vas made President of hustling Western
road, and is now drawing princelY salary.

The Popular Photograph of Secretary of
the Treasury.

The Popular Photograph Of Secretary Of
the Treasury.
Gaddis, a Cincinnati hack driver, treas
ures a dollar bill of the first greenback
issue. The Enquirer of that city tells that
Salmon P. Chase, while Secretary of the
Treasury, visited Cincinnati.
"Shine, sirr' shouted Gaddis, then a
bootblack, to stranger in the Burnet
House lobby.
"Do your prettiest," 4" said the gentleman,
with smile, ''and I'll give you my photo,
graph"
The boy did not fall in very heartily with
the proposition, as he had no particular use
for photographs of his customers, but after
a little bantering he took the job. At the
finish, the gentleman handed the boy a
brand-new one dollar bill. "That's my
photograph" said he, walking away.
The boy glanced from his customer to the
bill in momentary perplexity. Then the
strong resemblance which his customer bore
to the lvignette in one corner of the green
back caught his, and he knew that the Sec
retary Of the Treasury had been having a
little fun with him at his own expense.

WANAMAKERs WASHINGTON HOME.
Splendors of the Postmaster Generals New
Residence Mt the Capital

spIendors of the Postmaster Generals New
Residence Mt the Capital
Boston Transcript
The Republicans used to be dreadfully
worried over the "Jefersonian simplicity"
of the Whitney mansion, but now that
Postmaster General Wanamaker has got it,
the Whitney splendors won't be patch
upon the Wanamaker splendors. Mr..
Wanamaker's daughter-in-law, who did the
honors for him in Mrs. Wanamaker's ab-
sence in Europe, has gone back to Phila-
delphia, and an army of workmen have
been turned loose in the house.
: The ball room which Secretary Whitney
added to the house when he took 1t from ex-
Secretary Frelinghuysen is to be completely
redecorated and improved, and here are
hung some of Mr.. Wanamaker's art treas
ures that he has already had brought from
his Philadelphia home. Munkacsy's
famous picture, "Christ Before PLATE" for
which Mr.. Wanamaker paid $120, 200, is
not in Washington and probably won't be
brought here. But there are some beauti-
full specimens of modern French art upon
the walls of this ballroom.

A QUEER OLD CRAFT.
Strange Vessel Found Buried in Sand and
Perfectly Preserved.


Perfectly Preserved.
A discovery has been made on the Nanti.
coke river at a place called Ellis Fishing
Grounds, about five miles below Seaford
Del. A vessel was dug from under 9
hill 15 feet deep. Mr.. Ellis, owner
of the property. has been living there
for 43 years, and did not know that the
vessel was there until the recent winds
washed the sand from under the hill, when
part of her was discovered. It was at first
thought to be stump.
Upon further investigation, 1t was found
to be the forward part Of a schooner. Her
bottom was hewed out and caulked with
something like camePs hair. She is sheathed
on the inside, and also caulked with the
same kind of hair. She is put together
with pegs and without any nails.
The largest portion of her still re-
mains in the bank. She is supposed to be
from 80 to 100 tons burden. The wood is as
sohG as ever. There is no one around who
knows anything about her.

They Have Few Bad Habits and are Very
Ambitious.

A large majority of our class are possessed
of good habits and few have bad habits in
different ways. This is because of their
lack Of hearing. They are very attentive to
their duties, and as class are very ambi-
tious. Several mutes are now filing posi-
tions as pastors, evangelists, editors, bank
clerks and cashiers, professors, teachers, etc.
They study just what persons blessed with
all their senses study, and they rank ac-
cording to their abilities. They seem to
prefer to work as employees rather than as
employers.
They enjoy entertainments of all kinds.
They have peculiarities for being keen by
observation, from appearances. They are
moderate in their food, dress and religion.
Their religion is variable. The average of
age is moderate. They don't commit any
crime as bad as those who can hear, and
have only heard of one case of murder COM
mitted by deaf mute.

a Drug Store Of 1l5O.

With the rise of the Saracens into intel
lectual prominence they took the lead in
medical and pharmaceutical science. The
practitioners Of medicine were held in high
esteem by the Arabians. Mahomet had
predilection for the healing art, and there
is good reason for believing that numerous
medical works were preserved from the
destruction of the Alexandrian library by
the Arabian physicians. It is certain that
the Arabs had medical schools in Alexan-
dria more than a century after the library
was destroyed. The practice of pharmacy
was greatly extended by the Arabians and
among them the separation of medicine and
pharmacy was advocated as early as the
eighth century and established by law in
the eleventh. As many of the drugs were
imported from the East, dealers sprang up
who were distinguished from the regular
apcthecaries.
EARLY EUROPEAN DRUGGISTS.
During the middle ages pharmacy was, to
q great extent, still under the control of the
Arabian physicians. From contact with
them in the East the religious orders (the
BeHedictines especially became proficient
in the art. The monks, however, were for
hidden to shed blood, with the result that
surgery fell largely into the hands of the
BARRIERS to which fact the origin Of the pres
ent tonsorial striped pole is due. Soon the
rise OF alchemy and the study of toxicology

age cu1tivated-and the arising tastes for
spices combined with pharmacy, toxicology.

Be a Gentleman,

There is one thing every young man
can be, and that is a gentleman and hy
this we do not mean one who dresses wei
and sports about, but true ami honor
able gentleman.
No matter what your position in life
be 1t at the anvil, the factory or in the
counting room. it pays to he Il gentleman
Many young man who has started out
in life under circumstances most discour-
aging. possessing few friends, without
money or a trade, has come out at thu
end of the race far ahead of his fellows
simply because he was gentleman.
If you are this you Will at least hav,
the respect of those to whom you apply
either for employment or other assi>
lance, even if they may not be able to ait
You, and if they are, it will go long way
toward recommending you to their favor.
1t astonishing to notice the lack of
this desirable trait in young men at The
present time. To dress well. 20 into so
ciety, smoke, drink and be able to tel
good stories, seems to be the gage lbs
which. they measure gentleman. But 10
be proficient in these, and lacking in the
essential qualities that make every uan
gentleman, is poor standard to be gov
erncd by.
No one has better opportunities of
judging III this respect than the employer
to whom applications are made for posi-
tons, or in whose employ young mer
may already be- and no one appreciates il
more fully. 1t costs nothing and pays
large diVidens.
