Phases OF human Nature.

They were waiting for the train at
country station. There was dreary
looking waiting room, IA by "A, and
there was platform 10 feet long by 8
broad. The scenery consisted of one
water tank, five freight cars, two fields,
one pile of lumber, three telegraph poles
and small boy. The rain poured out
side. The two women sat as fer from
each other as possible and regarded each
other with suspicion and distruSt.
One seemed to be saying to herself: eff
she is going to the lunatic asylum she
should be looked after. Who ever saw
any one come out in. such colors and
mix things like that? Such persons are
dangerous. And the other one remarked:
"Must wait here long in the company
of that thing? What looking head!
What big feet and hands! Looks as if
she was going to work on farm"
The two men who are strangers to
each other and to the women were fair,
mild eyed specimens of the human race.
They stood and looked at each other, and
might have said to themselves: "Looks
as if he had overdrawn his account
at the bank. Seems to have an inno-
cent look, but that is all put on" And
the other might have unused: $50 here's
the Rubber Kid out on another expe-
dition, but I'll spoil his game. My, but
hasn't he got hardened iook!" But
they did nothing of the kind. While
those women sat several feet apart, hud-
died up in an exclusive sort of way and
their wells drawn, the men walked ar1a
in arm, joked and smoked and talked
stories and said they were glad to meet.
They poked each other in the ribs, called
each other "old boy" borrowed some
fine cut and every match they had was
shared in lighting cigars.
One Of the women got up enough cour-
age to ask the other for the time. The
latter might be addressing the cook Of
an Erie canal scow, she thought, but re-
piled that she had not the time. Then
both shrank away under their wells and
turned up their noses. When the train
came along the men got into the same
car and the same seat. The women
came out with respective looks of dis
dain, entered separate coaches, and as the
train moved away they were sorry they
had noticed or spoken to each other and
failed to stand on their individual dig
nity.-Albany Journal.

One Thing at q Time.

Don't put too much in one advertise
ment. What will you do for the next
one? One thought is generally enough
for once; next week another; next an
other, and so on. But let it be a good
one, always.
Respect your reader. Appeal to his
good sense. By doing that you show
your own good sense. Go further; do
not be dull. The readers mind is not on
your subject. Angle for him. There
are other advertisements. Few or none
will be read through. The reader doubt
less reads line and skips to the next
one. Put something in your first line to
engage him. Christian Union.

A Handy Thing.

An enterprising chap in Connecticut
has patented tonic which he advertises
in the spring as 1.-The great spring tonic.
In the summer he calls it 1.-The great
summer tonic" and in the fall and win
ter the term is changed to meet the sea-
son. A patent medicine man with q
great tonic for only one season of the
year can't expect to do much business

Lions with Spiked Backbones.

In front of an ugly but fashionable
house in Second avenue, above Four
teenth street, are two very unreliable
cast iron lions, which have just been
painted pinlzish brown to match the
newly chiseled brown stone copings of
the doorway. The lions, in form and
color, were sufficiently unlike anything
in nature, but just by way of preventing
the casual small boy from taking i'm
aginary excursions astride their backs, a
strip of spiked iron has been extended
from name to tail of each lion. The eff
feet of these grewsome but impossible
beasts is startling on a stranger.-New

A pURLEsQuE TROUPE.
1t Gives satisfaction to q Large Audi


II Gives satisfaction to q Large Audi
ence on Tuesday Evening.
The Rentz- -Santley burlesque and spe-
cialty company appeared at Fulton opera
house last evening. The audience was
large. This company has not been seen in
Lancaster for several years, but 1t Is now
much better than when last seen here. The
company sprang from tho old Rentz
female minstrels, which were under
the management of NJ. Is. Leavitt,
but the present party Is In charge of
Ben Leavitt. 1t includes number
of very clever people. The opening OF tho
performance last evening was called
" La Tosca's Reception" and 1t served to
Introduce the majority eff the members of
the company. The ladies wore beautiful
costumes, which was the case throughout
the show, although at times they were
somewhat scant. Dashing Georgia Blake
looked charming In her male attire and
made rapid changes. The Little Putnam
Sisters sang well, although both
suffered from very bad colds. Maud
Beverly opened the olio, and she is
one Of the brightest serio- comics that has
been seen here In some time while she has
remarkably fine voice. George A. Booker
and Maud Leigh appeared to advantage In
the sketch Assurance" Mr.. Booker Is a
comedian of the Roland Reed kind and he
Is funny. He end the young lady sang
well together and their "Song Of Songs"
brought them numerous encores. Miss
Pauline Batcheller looked pretty and gave
songs and dances that pleased and Frank
Lester was comical In his negro "turn."
The best feature of the show was tho act of
Le Clair and Leslie, a talented pair of
young actors who have just returned from
tripto Europe. They are mimics, bur-
lesque artists, character impersonators,
&c. Mr.. lie Clair appeared in three female
and one male character, and his dress
ing was elegant. His makeup in the
character of Richeiieu and imitation of
Edwin Booth in the character were Won
derful. Mr.. Leslie Is very funny come
dian, and he gave limitations of people of
all nations, while he has a face that he can
put In almost every shape "Antony and
Cleopatra burlesque, wound up the
show, and In it Misses Batcheller, Blake,
Beverly and others looked beautiful, while
Lester, lie Clair, Booker and Leslie fur
nished wholesome fun. Among the good
features were the Nautch dancers drill of
the Amazons, &c.
