1.-THE LADY OF LYONS"
Its First Performance Anonymous to De-
ccivc Hostile Critics.

am not old enough to remember tho pub
lication of tho early novels of Edward Lytton
Bulwer, and consequently AM unable tospeak
of their reception by tho public press, but
when that gifted gentleman took to writing
for the stage | perfectly recolect tho savage
attacks that were made upon his dramatic
attempts.
There is no doubt that Bulwcr had, in some
way or other, made himself personally often
sive to the critics, but, whether orno lie be-
came fully persuaded that no play written by
him, however good ii might be- would be al
lowed TO succeed upod the stage.
Acting upon this conviction he, i'll counsel
with Macrcady, who always played tho hero
i'll his pieces, determined to produce his next
dramatic attempt anonymously. Happy
thoughtl Tho subject fixed upon was Tho
Lady of Lyons" and when tho play was pro
duccd-about tho year 1872, think-thc au-
thorship was known to two persons only
Macrcady and Bulwcr Dickens was the in
timatc friend of both actor and writer and OH
tho invitation of Macrcady ho took his place
among tho audience on tho first night, in total
ignorance of anything and everything COLI
nectcd with tho play. The curtain fell to u
storm of applause Dickens went dclightcdly
h
actor Oh Il we'll deserved success.
In Macrcady' sdrcssing room Dickens found
Bulwcr, looking, rs ho thought, little dis
turbcd.
IA capital playl good idca-wcll and dra-
matcally worked out Tho author, u young
fellow, suppose, has been looking a little ut
our friend here" indicating Bulwer "lf
this is his first work predict fine future
for him, as for you, my dear Macready,
you arc in for u long run, depend upon it,
Them turning to Bulwer, Dickens said: "Dld
you SEQ tho play from tho front' | did not
notice you among the audience"
NO." said Bulwer; ~ saw quite enough Of
it from tho wings"
WELL" exclaimed Dickens, "you are not
satisfied with it.'
Not a bit of it," said Bulwer. "It was
capitally acted, fortunately for tho author.
Without our friend hero it might havo been
hidcous failure"
My dear Bulwcr, if did not believe you
to bo free from tho slightest tingo of jealousy
of other writers, what you have just said
would make mo uneasy. Tho fellow ha,
writtena bright, capital play, and you should
be tho first to acknowledge as much"
MOT if | don't think so, l suppose" said
Bulwer with u smile
In telling this anccdotc, us well us can re-
member, have used Dickens expressions us
heard them from his own lips
Tho morning following tho production of
Tho Lady Of Lyons was triumph for
Bulwcr, who was requested by tho papers to
take n lesson from his rival, who had shown
by his admirable play that ho had dramatic
powers which wcro conspicuous by their alb
senco in such works rs had hitherto pro-
ceeded from tho pen of Mr.. Bulwcr.-Frith's

SNUBS AND SNuBBlNG.
If You Get Angry and Complain. you Ad.
init Your Enemy's Superiority.


One of the most senseless of social mistakes
that people of positions not wholly assured
can possibly make is to confaas to being
snubbed In the heat of Indignation against
the person who has been guilty of Snubbins
them people are very apt to dc the very thing
which would be most pleasing to the one upon
whom they wish to be avenged To confess
to being snubbed is to acknowledge the power
of given person to ccafer rebuff This in
itself is a confession of social nferiority which
the one making it would sooner die than make
directly, and it is the more foolish because
the chances are that it is false.
Manifcstly there is no possible position
which is at all dignitied except that OF deny
ing the possibility of being sl,ubbed by any
body, Of course, one cannot always protect
himself from rudeness, that comes to all the
dwellers in thisnot wholly satisfactory world
To be snubbed, however, is impossible to one
who keeps the position to which he is entitled
He is foolish to accuse himself of having been
pushing his way where ho had no right 10y
asserting that lie has been rebukcd by any,
body Ii he is capable of taking the high
ground TINT he belongs wherever it may
please him to so, OF course he at one stroke
does away with the possibility Of being re-
butfed by anybody whomsoever.
Tho confession OF n stub is generally accom-
panied By the more or less emphatic assertion
that the person bestowing it has no claim to
sit i'll social Judgment upon the individual af
fronted, and in their anger the coluplaincrs
cannot SEQ that they are, by their protcsta-
tions, asserting the very thing that they so
bitterly deny To be logical and angry ut the
same time, however, is not given to more than
one man in ten thousand. When smarting
under the consclousess that n social enemy
has intended an injury few indeed are the
men " ho can be cool enough to realize what
they are doing They should impress it upon
and placidity that the practical effect Of
every protest against I; personal snub is to
njure themselves So constituted is h,l
man nature, moreover, that they are likely
also to increase rather than to diminish tho
prestige of their enemy. To know that IL
person is by position able to administer social
slight, and that by disposition he or sho is
capable of exercising that power is with nine
people out of ten to be moved 10 Il new rc-
spect for so exalted q parsonage.
All Of this Is so obvious that it almost
seems absurdly supernuous to tako tho trou
bic to say it at all, but no ono can deny tho
frequency of the sort of error of which wo
are speaking Every day somebody is heard
complaining of Il snub at tho hands of some
enemy. and in the interests of common sense
it seems worth while to remind such grum-
blers of what is the cost of venting their
Indignation against such rebuifs. - Boston

ue l.nnr,,t Gas Stock.


On Friday afternoon Il rustic looking old
gentleman might havc been seen prowling

ton umbrella and n carpet bag. Altogether.
ho had that wisely simple appearance which
was such striking characteristic of the re-
nowncd Mr.. Pickwich. A certain well known
gentleman of Il waggish turn saw tho old
codgcr. and divining that he was after Il
speculation, thought to play II joke OH him
He eapproached him with tho question:
Looking for gas stock!"
"Wall, yas," replied tho granger.
81 will tell you of u good investment" be-
gan tho wag. "Thcrc's a new company just
started up-tho Sewer Gas company, you
know just sold my stock in it for 291l cents
You can get the same for3l5. Step into that
brokers' office there"
Tho old fellow took the tip and went into
tho shop. Calling tho broker to him no said:
III want to buy some gas stock. Which
kind is the bcst."
"Dont know, answered tho broker. "Thi"-
teen companies on tho market Hurry W,
take your choice. Haven't much time to
spare"
"Wall, how bout sewer gasa" asked the
countryman.
Tho broker saw the joke at once. "Its all
right" he responded. "rvo got sonno of it
how much do you wantl'
Mr.. llaysecd went down into his trousers
pocket and drew out a d. Ieathern purse.
"Give me two shares" said he. And llc
