The Bush-street Theater will offer this
spectacular piece to its patrons tomorrow
night. 1t is new adaptation of the charm
ing old German legend of "Undine," the
name of awater nymph who is the heroine
Of La Moth FouQuGs romance of the same
name. She was in early childhood changed
for the young child of a fisherman living
on a peninsula near an enchanted for
est. Gne day Sir Hulbrand took shelter in
the isherman's hut, fell in love with Undine
and married her. BY such marriage, how
ever, she became subject to all the pains
and miseries of mortals. Kiralfy's inventive
genius has adorned and enliVened the story
with many interpolations in scenic way,
such as a submarine stalactite grotto, an en-
chanted forest where the trees and birds
are bewitched, and four seasons transfOr-
nation scene. Dances, marches, acrobatic
feats, juggling ETC, are plentifully scattered
throughout, accompanied by fine music.
Arnold kiralfy, the only remaining perform
ing member of the family, has evolved new
eccentric dance which is one of the features
of the spectacle

The sanderini CONCERT. .


Nine. Thea SanderinIs concert5last Thurs
day evening was an unquestionable success.
| The lady herself was in fine voice and DEM
.onstrated to the satisfaction Of the cog
noscenti preseN her true and good method
of singing. Two new artists made their
bow on the occason-Signor and Signora
+ lrsomando. Their abilities entltle them to
avery high place among frst-class musi-
clans. Owing to the fact that he has Just
eOnyalesced. from severe illness, the Signor
+ did not play solo, but played the piano part
Of the Beethoven trio in 3 fiat OPP 81, and
ACCOMPANIED the different numbers in such
an artistic manner as to prove him con-
suHlIBate musician. .Signora Ursomando
played a CapricciO by Scarlatti an. Arietta
by Leo: and a study from ROssaro, with a
teeffTiic remarkable for ease and clearneSs,
and with.that exquisite color only developed
by an artistic sentiment. Another notable
feature of this concert was Mr. Nathan
Lands befger's violin performance. He rem
dered the Airs: Russes" by Wieniawski,
. and the difficult aZiguenerwieSen" by Sara
safe Fir. a manner that elected enthusiastic
"a nd welI-deseryGd applause. He is not only
skfllful mechanically, but speaking est heti4
.cally, his performance may be styled ire
proachab1e and superior to anything we
have heard here of late. Mr.. Hughes, barry
tone. and Mr.. GutiersOn, instrumentalist,
added TO the interest of this enjoyable event.

OiIing the Wheels.

The bes; way to keep wagon wheels
in good order, according to a West
Virginia correspondent, is to keep
them well painted, but by use this
will finally wear off, especially from
the felloes and spoKes that are always
getting so much in the mud. Such
farmers as think common wagon
don't need but one painting may use
crude petroleum TO advantage on
their cracking wheels. BY oiling the
felloes thoroughly before tires get
loose enough to slip a resetting can
be put off long time, and an appli-
cation Of the same kind to the spokes
and hubs will keep the wheels in
much better condition that when they
are left TO go without anything, as Is
often the case. The oil fills the pores
of the wood and keeps it from shrink
ing, but no coloring matter should be
mixed with it, for it will not dry as a
good oil paint should. For my own
part / get my wagons painted assoon
as they need it, for it makes them
look better and is the best for them
in the end.

Titled Women in Trade.

Every day the number of English
women of good position who go into
trade as a profession increases, and,
paradoxical as it may seem, the blue
blooded danes grow rich, and are proud
and happy over their successes. Half
of the smart bonnet-shops of London
are kept by them, and they have now
begun to set up perfume and glove ba-
zaars, stationery stores, etc. 1t must
not be supposed, however, that every
decayed gentlewoman is fitted to find
fortune in the till, simply because her
name happens to figure in the peerage.
Certainly position counts for a good
deal; but capital, shrewdness and en-
ergy are three prerequisites that stand
first in the race, no matter how exalted
the title may be that backs them.
Whenever a great lady determines to
adopt the yard-stick and scales she first
goes through coaching process, and
learns from practical experience just
how it is done. She takes lessons in
bookkeeping, learns to watch the mar
ket, is taught to gather wisdom from
her rivals, and, most important of all,
studies TO be patient and amiable, and
attentivs TO details.-Illustrated Amer

SUGGESTIONS for Drivers Of Horses.

An exchange says: If we tie a
young horse up with u broad leather
strap around his neck, SO that when
he pulls violently back it will restrain
him efTectually without hurting him
he will often not pull Il second time,
but ii we tie him up with u chain that
cuts into his neck he VIII generally
pull at il again and again, and not
unfrequently until he kills himself.
If we fix bundle of straw behind
kick ing horse he will not kick long at
it, but if he cuts his legs at each Kick
against the splinters OF iron OF Il car
riage he will probably kick as long rs
he has leg left to kick with. If we
carefully take off n young horse :
bride. so that the bit comes out OF
his mouth without hurting him, he
will soon quietly help TO take it out
OF his mouth, but il by taking of u
bride we awkwardly twist the bit SO
as TO seriously hurt his tongue or
Jaws he will for months or years al
terward pull violently on il wheney-
err he finds the slightest hitch about
it. The horse that has again and
again been put into the collar and
finds 10 harm comes Of ii gets at last
to suspect none, and takes it easy
under all circumstances, but il he
gets seriously beaten or Qurt III any
of his early lessons he is always ready
TO expect some great calamity in con
nection with II tightly pressing collar,
aud will tick up to receive any
amount Of punishment i'll the most
unexpected and unaccountabIe man
ner, while each beating that he +"
ceives will cause the habit to be more
confirmed, and the sticking up to be
more frequent and more obstinate.
