A Great Electric System.

One of the most attractive places in
Philadelphia, especially at evening, is
the store Of Bailey, Banks, & Biddle.
The vast establishment is lighted
by night by 100 incandescent electric
lights, a system of lighting which it
has taken an expert electrician six
months to perfect. 1t is certainly as
near perfection as the art OF ilumi-
nation has so far reached and the ef-
feet is what might be termed entranc-
ing.
Bursts Of bright yellow light come
from numerous overhead electroliers,
while ingeniously hidden globes light
up with startling brilliancy the cases
devoted to silverware. Along one
side Of the store effulgent beams of
light shoot out from behind single
slips of flowers, being reflected by the
gllttering plate-e!ass mirrors. In the
art room the various objects Of beauty
have in addition to their own charm,
received the benefit of this system
of artificial lighting. Apparently care
lessly displayed shafts of light, some
times perfect floods Of it, are brought
to bear in a most harmonious man
ner on the articles to which its splen-
dor is more easily lent. The charm
of it all lies in the studied careless
ness and in the artistic manner in
which the glow lamps are hidden, Civ
ing to the whole store an appearance
which recalls page of fairy tale.

"Struck Gas" will be presented in
the Opera House this Friday evening.
The New York papers thus speak of
it:
'Struck Gas" has been carefully
produced at the Amphion Academy
this week and is pronounced as good,
If not better, than the average run of
comedies of its sort, and has been
pleasing to those who have seen it.
The company is a good one, and
have given the comedy in its best
phase. Every one in Brooklyn who
patronizes theaters saw it last season,
and will want to see it again. The
comedy has a new stage dress and
the costumes are of the very best.
Lillian Harper as Nan was all that
she should have been, "Struck Gas
abounds in good music, and the COM
pany is certainly capable one. Fun
and frolic reign supreme at the Amph-
ion this week.-N Y. Sun, Sept. II,
1880.
There's more plot in ''Struck Gas, y
which was presented at the Amphion
Academy last evening, than any Of
the Tannehill farces which have been
seen in Brooklyn. The hit of the
evening was Lillian Harper as Nan
She sang well, danced gracefully, and
altogether worked hard to make the
comedy success. Drake and Duck,
the two members of the G.. A. r..
were capitally played. The balance
of the cast was in capable hands. N

Birth OF Grass in Atlanta.

sidonces would not have the many
pretty blue grass lawns in front Of

Charlie Furlow OF the comptroller
generals office. He was pointing to
the patches of grass about toe capitol
grounds. I'VE have planted thirty
bushels of blue grass seed on these
grounds, but it will not grow well.
That which is growing is sod, aud it
came from down here in the woods
where Shermsn's army camped. And
that is where nearly all the blue grass
in Atlanta came from. You see, Sher-
man fed his horses on hay brought
from the West Tbe seed from the hay
was scattered all about the woods and
grew aud tnrived ia the shade of the
trees. That grass is now asclimated,
and VIXEN removed in the sod it

planted will not grow. 1t is truly an

in the country Every one said that
the hotels were hurribe; that every
thing Mexican was mixture OF red
pepper aud grease; that the only good
hotels in the country were those kept
by Americans. | yentured into the
land with fear and trembling and at
first patronized the American hotels |
found them dear and nasty The
cooking was abominable and the ser
vice was worse. then tried "a N :
lean hotel and found it excellent.
Some of the best meals ] have ever had

not soon forget dinner at Toiuca,
where "a Mexican boy gave me n din
ner of ten courses and where the
cuisine was equal to that of IA good

Throughout Southern Mexico found
spendid hotels. The MeXicans serve
their meals one dish at time in table
d'hote style. Mexican frijolos. pro-
uounced 'freeholies," always form q
part Of the meal. They are Mexican
black beans and are superior TO the
Boston baked beans and every one
eats them. They are never eaten on
the day they are cooked and they are
always served in great abundance.
They close the meal as rice closes a
