Bernhardt and the SNAKE.

The snake has been great success
This much talkcd-of serpent is a very
lively reptile, over two feet long, con:
siderably thicker than Sarah's forefnger,
and of vivid green hue. It wriggles
and coils most theoretically when the
Egyptian Queen withdraws it from its
basket, and shoots its shiny green rings
above the top of her tunfc during the
death scene in way that IS positively
startling.
Cleopatra's action and gestures in this
scene are of an unimpeachable modesty.
She does not open her tunic,
but slips the snake into il
from above, pressing her hands upon the
imprisoned reptile as she calls upon it to
s.Bite-bite again-bite hardern-and
one gets cold chills down ones back
while contemplating her. Then when
she dies she falls npon her back, so as
not to hurt the hidden serpent. doubt
If any other actress on the boards could
so manage tho writhing reptile, for
Sarah possesses, and always did possess,
a peculiar fascination for all kinds of
animals, though / imagine this is the
hrst time she has ever tried her hand at
serpent charming. Lucy lei. Hooper.

CONG HOME TO AFRICA.
Cuban and Brazilian Negroes wish to Re-
turn to tIae Lamb of Their Fathers.

Sunah anu braztilan Negros WISH to ESe-
turn to the Land of Their Fathers.
Sir Alfred Mooney, the energetic gov
ernor of Lagos, reports rather remark
able occurrence from West Africa. He
says that In August last d delegation of
negros frbm Brazil and Havana unex-
pectedly appeared at Lagos, and said
that part of West Africa was the old
home OF their fathers, and they had
been deputized by many of their people
In the New World to visit the Guinea
coast and arrange for the return to
Africa OF many Brazilian and Cuban
negroes. The committee were able to
speak imperfectiy the language of
Yoruba, an important country which
lies inland from Lagos. They said their
knowledge of the language had come
down to them from their forefathers.
Gov. Moloney concluded from what they
said that many thousands of the negro
population of Brazil were eager to leave
the land where they had been slaves and
return 10 Africa.
The governor told the deputation later
that he had succeeded in inducing the
African Steamship company to run q
vessel between Lagos and Brazil, Offer
ing low rate of fair and good accom-
modations to negro passengers. Molo-
ney's idea is that it may be possible to
interest a good many West African ma
tiyes in the movement and get them to
go to Brazil for series of years where
they may acquire habits OF greater
industry and return home finally with
their savings and perhaps with knowl-
edge of some handicraft. The governor
thinks this will be good thing for the
natives of his colony.
The idea looks rather chimerical It
Is not likely that West Africans will de-
velop any larger desire to travel thous-
ands of miles across the sea to accumu-
late money. Their talent for acquisition
is very small, and they are content in
their own land If they secure bare sub
sistence. Neither is 1t likely that many
negroes Of the western world think of
going back to the Guinea coast. 1t is
difficult to induce our own negroes to
