The Two Old Cronies Tonight.

In the 1.-Two Old Cronies." which APP
pears at the Orera House o-night, the
author seems to have but one object-to
please the people.
There is almost no prctension towards
plot, and the story is based on life in
young ladies' seminary. 1t begins in
the boarding school, is continued on
board ship and winds up in the draw
ing room of the hotel.
Many amusing situations take place
and there is some real good humor The
mcdleys are original and lively, and
the various members of the company
enter into the performance with spirit
that adds greatly to the entertainment.
The strongest point in the play is the
spiritual action, which is kept up during
the last two acts. There is not time
when there is not plenty of enthusiasts
tic outbursts on the stage, and these
seem to extend to the audience and they
laugh and applaud almost continually.

Courts of Cancellation.

"Fonligelsis Kommission, or courts
of Cancellation which have existed for
years in Denmark have worked to Il
charm and are well worthy of imitation
everywhere, and especially in this coun-
try, where all of our courts are crowded
to repletion with business. These are
not courts of arbitration, but are con-
Quoted on this plan: There is one judge
and two assistants, none of whom are
professionals, but are taken from among
citizens the same as we take Jurors, by
consent of all parties. Every case to be
acted on must be brought before these
courts of conciliation before it can be
taken into regular court of law. The
plaintiff comes without counsel, none be-
ing allowed on either side, and states his
case plainly, and the defendant is sum-
monsd to appear on certain day, either
in person or by proxy, otherwise he is
fined if the case has to be taken to
law court. Then each party is heard
and questioned by the judge, who tells
him of the legal rights and duties of each
and gives advice or suggestions. The
parties are not obliged to take this, but
if they do, and agree to settle, the judg-
ment is without appeal and final.

Raisins From Grapes.

Raisins are merely dried grapes pre-
pared by several processes, but in Europe
only two are generally practised. One
of these consist in partially cutting
through the stalk of the ripening punches
aud then allowing them to hang on the
vines until the berries shrivel and dry by
the heat of the sun. These are considered
the best raisins and are known as the
Muscatels. Large quantities are raised
and exported from Malaga. In the other
process the grapes when gathered are
hung on lines or spread out on drying
floors to dry in the sun. When dried
they are dipped in hot lye, to which has
been added little olive oil and salt.
After dipping the fruit is spread out on
wicker work to drain and dry still more,
after which the raisins are stripped from
the stalks and packed in boxes. But all
the grapes from which raisins are made
are different from any of our native
species and varieties, none of which will
answer for raisiIs, as their pulp is not
firm and hard enough, and when we
undertake to dry them there is little left
but skin and seeds. A good raisin grape
must have a flesh of a firm consistency,
somewhat like that of good plume or
prune, as the imported article is called.
The raisins of California are made from
the European varieties of the grape and
not from any of the American species.
Raisin grapes will not thrive in Pennsyl
wlnia unless raised under glass, against
walls, or other protected situations.

Hid from the world and itself as we'll,
Heights of heaven, abysms of hell.

Dull thou must be not to understand,
And blind thou art not to see at hand
Thy dreams by reality far outspanned;
For wonder lies at thy very door,
And magic thy fireside sits before,
And marvels through every window pour.

Of splendor and terror and mystery:

1t will be interesting to remember a
prophecy which Sir John Mcdonald once
made to reporter of the New York Sun
with regard to the future of Canada.
He said that in time the provinces of
Ontario and Quebec will form a greater
France. He thought France was de-
clining, while in the old provinces of
Canada the French were multiplying like
nothing the world has seen before. Not
only do they have large families, but
they possess all the thrift of the French
aud are steadily buying up the land.
Like that of our New England the soil
is comparatively poor and difficult of
cultivation, and the English, Irish and
Scotch are leaving it for the prairie, the
plains and the Pacific coast, "and," said
he, whenever such farmer expresses n
desire to go West his next door neighbo 4
a Frenchman, stands ready to buy him
out. Soon there will be few except
Frenchmen left in old Canada"

1t is pleasing, confesses the New York
Sun, to obtain official information that
there is no danger of the immediate ex-
tinction of the American buffalo, as this
superb beast has found quiet and
happy home in the Yellowstone National
Park. 1t is to be feared, however, that
the habits and even the natural qualities
of the buffalo are undergoing serious
change in the Park, aud that he is be-
coming a tame and well disposed quad
ruped. 1t is truly sad to think that the
vast herds which roamed proudly over
the plans, even as late as the middle of
the present century, have disappeared.
