History Repeats Itself.

Daniel Boone, tie lion tanner and
trainer, performs with half dozen
ferocious lions, all let loose in circus
ring. He has educated the ferociOus
monsters so that he is able to harness
them to chariots, and drive them
around the arena, and he feeds them
from his hand, makes the brutes form
lofty pyramids, dance, leap, play see
saw, and even ride tricycles. 1t is
said to be the most wonderful exhibit
ton of animal training the world has
thus far seen. If Boone had lived in
the Babylonian era, when that wick
ed old King, Nebuchadnezar, was in
his glory, he would have surprised
the BabylOnian monarch more than
did the godly Daniel, whom he caused
to be cast into a den of lions. Daniel,
the pious Jew, and Daniel, the modern
lion tanner, will live in history until
the end of time. The modern Daniel
and his lions an be seen in the Fore
paugh Show, which is TO exhibit here
on Monday, October 10.

CObbler Sprague's Frugal Wife.

Ten thousand dollars in gold and
greenbacks has been found secreted in
an old table in the residence of John
Sprague, shoemaker. of Wilmington,
Del. The money represents his deceased
wife's savings for thirty-nine years. On
Jan. q Mrs. Mary Sprague, wife of the
cobbler, dropped dead, victim of heart
disease, in a drug store. The couple
came to Wilmington from England thir-
ty-one years ago. The husband is about
sixty years of age, while the wife was
nearly tifty-nine years old when she died.
They were frugal and industrious, and
during their thirty-nine years of married
life the husband weekly gave the wife
certain sum of money for her use. He
never questioned what she did with the
surplus, but supposed it was regularly
put in bank
When Mrs. Sprague died search was
made for the handbook supposed to
exist, but to no avail. The house was
ransacked also, but no money was found.
Finally Hrs. Mckinley, neighbor. sug-
gested, as she had had a dream to that
effect, that possibly the treasure might
be secreted in an antique table. and this
article of furniture was examined.
Tightly wedged in an inside corner of
the table were found bag of gold and a
roll Of greenbacks, which, being counted,
amounted to SIC, 000.-Cor. Philadelphia

The Tableau.

The palmiest day of the tableau enter
tainment has rather gone by. Sacred
and profane history, ancient and modern
customs have been faithfully worked for
varieties in tableau representation and
theic freshness has pretty well departed.
An entertainment of pretty and pictu-
rescue scenes, UNMARRIED by action or
movement, is somewhat mild form of
amusement. For obvious reasons this
kind of entertainment has had long
run of favor. Tableaux, represented by
good folks that they all know, are some
thing that the strictest church people
can look upon without feeling of sin,
and great deal Of money for good
causes has been realized in this way.
They flourish best in home soil and Ire
sented by home talent and beauty, and
not little have they owed to the good
natured puffs OF amiable editors and the
family pride which loves to see Sis on
the stage in fancy costume, looking as
pretty as peachblow vase.-Springfeld

Ibsen's Curious EiCure.

I cannot recollect having ever met 4
man of more peculiarly striking appear
ance than Mr.. Ibsen. He reminded me
to certain extent Of those fabulous
creatures the gnomes, who play such an
important part in Scandinavian myth
ology, and are wildly described in the
old songs of the Edda. He is a man of
less than medium size, but very heavily
set. The upper part of his body is very
large in proportion to his lower limbs,
but still small in comparison with that
immense head, which, with its bushy
hair, white as snow, overtowers the
compact bodily frame.
A heavy beard of the same color would
encircle the face if it was not for the fact
that Ibsen keeps his chin shaven, a dis
tinction also enjoyed by the upper lip.
l wonder if Mr.. Ibsen knows that by
wearing his beard in the manner de-
scribed he shows very strong chin and
a mouth of classic delineation. Irresist-
IDLE is the charm of his eyes, which are
of deep blue, like the color of the sea
on the shores Of his beautiful native
north land.-Louisville Courier j ournal

Prince Napoleon's Pompeian Mansion.

Prince Napoleon's Pompeian Mansion.
When the part Prince Napoleon might
have taken in French politics ceases to
be contrasted with the part he actually
did take he will be remembered for quite
a different achievement. In a strange
part Of Paris he built a very curious
mansion, and collected brilliant circle
of friends to witness a singular enter
tainment. The circumstance, once no.
torious, is now almost forgotten. Thirty
five years ago the prince went Pompeii
mad. 1t was the fashionable craze of
the day.
Artists, authors, dilettanti-they all
took it; but the prince alone had funds
and purposed to realize his wild project.
If he could build house just like one
of those old Pompeian mansions, if he
could furnish it classically, put in the
right bronzes and statuettes, himself
dress like an old Roman and get his
friends to do the same-well, he actually
reduced the dream to fact.
In the avenue Montaigne, at that time
perilously near the Bal Mabille, the pal
ace was reared on the true Pompeian
lines. Gerome painted the decorations
Homer chanting his ballads, and
nymphs that represented the Odyssey
and niad. Everything was classic and
was Greek, but the Bonaparte blood
flowed in the veins of the owner.
Prince Napoleon set up busts and stat
ues of his family all round the atrium-
Napoleon and Josephine and Marie
Louise, Lucien, Charles, Louis and Je-
rome; they all had their place in this
classic apartment. And here, before the
emperor and empress, a French play was
acted in classic costume-Favart, Bro
ban and Theophile Gautier being the
