From Desk To FootliQhts,

Mr.. Irving the actor was intended
for work more prosaic, if less exact
ing, than that which ultimately fell to
his lot: 1t is an interesting specula-
ton whether in the midst of his his
trionic triumphs Mr.. Irving's thoughts
ever revert to that memorable morn
ing when leaving his humdrum duties
in the quiet back Office of Messrs.
Thacker and Co., in New-gate, Lon
don, where for about three years the
embryo tragedian had carried out
with conscientious care the work of
an invoice clerk, he paid a visit to
Phelps at Crosby Hall, in Bishopsgate-
street, and encouraged by the great
actors opinion of his single recitation,
took the step which proved the turn
ing point in his life, returned to his
office and then and there ''gave no.
tice" to his employers. and annoltne-
ed his intention of adopting the stage
as a profession. There are members
of the staff OF the weil-known firm in
Newgate-street who still retain pleas
ant memories Of the gentlemanly and
amiable young Henry Brodribb, who
came to their office from school dis
played so much assiduity and care in
his work, and was so keenly alive to
the refinements of life as to institute
among the clerks who shared his desk
little code of rules, by which each
agreed to be subject to a small 6nefor
any lapse from the niceties of gram
mar or any Of theproprieties ofspeech.

Mendeissohn's Early Manner.

In his early days as a composer,
Mendelssohn, was specially fortunate
in being able to hear ALL his compost
tions performed, and that in an artis-
tic manner, not at public concerts,
but at weekly musical meetings held
at his own home. The whole family
were musical, and with the assistance
OF friends a small orchestra was easily
collected. Felix conducted, standing
upon a stool; one OF his sisters played
the piano, another sang when necessa-
ry, and his brother took violoncello
part. These performances came to be
known and; sought after by all the
musical connoisseurs of Berlin, and
Sebastian Hensel, Memberships bro
ther-in-law, says that "all musicians
OF distinction passing through the city
requested to be admitted to the enter
tainments." The most remarkable
feature in Mendelssohn' compositions
even at this early stage, was the re-
straint OF his style and his scrupulous
respect for form, qualities which his
music always retained. He had a
wholesome dislike of any straining after
effect, holding it to. be as bad taste as
exaggeration in speaking. II take
music" he once wrote to Hitler, Gin q
very serious light, and 1 consider it
quite inadmissible to compose any
thing | do not thoroughly feel. 1t is
just as if were to, utter a falsehood,
for notes have as distinct a meaning
as words, perhaps even more definite
sense. 1.-The Sun Magazine.

WHY SHE DENIED 1T.

Mrs. O'Leary Was Not Present
When the Cow Kicked Over the
Lamp.
/ A Chicago gentleman says he is the
owner OF the only true story of the
origin of the great fire. Here it is
with a patent.
"a few days after the fire I had a
woman working tor me who had lived
in the vicinity OF Mrs. O'Leary's.
The woman had better luck than
Mrs. 0 Leary,- in that she was not
burned out.
"She told me that family living in
the back part of the O'Leary home
was giving party IN honor of a
young lady who had just arrived
from Ireland. When refreshments
were served it was discovered that
there was no milk i'm the house. A
young man present said that
was easy enough to supply; that Mrs.
O'Leary had COW in the barn. He
volunteered to milk the cow if any OF
the young ladies present would hold
light. One of the young ladies agreed
to go with the young man.
'Ihey went to the barn and placed
the lamp on the floor near the COW.
Theyoung man proceeded to his work,
when the COW kicked and the lamp
was knocked over. The blaze ignited
the hay and the fire started.
"Mrs. OLeary was in bed at the
time and that is why she always de-
MED the story. She did not know any
thing about the cowyarn until several
days after the fire and she didn't be-
lieve the story and denied the truth of
it because her name was connected
with the milking incident. She was not
In it but the cow was.' Chicago Trib-

"ChiVaIrOuS!"

An exciting story of the rescue from
drowning OF a Japanese, by an En-
glishman. whose life the japanese,
himself had set out to save, is told in
a Japanese paper, the Kobe Shimbun.
The Englishman was resident OF
Toxic. Being ON his way to Yoko-
hama, and finding no ferry-boat, ow
ing to the swollen state OF the river,
he determined to swim across with
his clothing in bundle tied on his
head.
The daring attempt attracted a
crowd of sightseers. one of whom,
observing that the stranger was APP
parently in. difficulty, plunged in and
swan to. his rescue. The Japanese
was good swimmer, but the water
ran swiftly his strength gave out, and
he was, carried downstream. Then
arose cry from the spectators, for
they saw the Japanese was going to
sink.
By this time the Englishman had
almost reached the opposite bank,
but when he heard the cries of the
crowd he turned about, and seeing
the drowning japanese, he again faced
the current, and coming up with the
drowning man, caught him with one
arm, and swimming with the other
hand he brought him ashore amid
the cheers of the crowd.
"How chivalous was his actionw
exclaimed the Japanese journalist in
conclusion. ellis name we know not,
but he has our highest admiration"

THE JUNkErING SCANDAL.

IF the outcome of the Hearst funeral
scandal viii be the abolition of the practics
of making disgrsceful farce out ofwbat was
originally intended to be solemn honor
to dead statesman, the people of the nation
will have cause for self-congratulations. Al
most every time that lot of Congressman and
Senators have accompanied the body ofo ol
their number on railroad journey home,
there has been a scandal. These scandals
have been suppressed as much as possible,
but the stories that have leaked out in every
case told of actions more beftting the lowest
in the land than supposed-to-be respectable
lawmakers.
The present scandal is no worse than
those that have preceded it in the public's
attention, but there Is hope that it will be
the last of its kind, and that the custom of
junketing parties over the dead body of a
prominent man will, with that of interrupt
ing business of the Government at his death
by Congressional adjournment, be relegated
to the realm of things that do not exist.

OHIO SUPREME COURT DECISION.

The interest excited by the decision of the
Ohio Supreme Court that the law ousting
the old Board of Public Works at Cincin-
natl is unconstitutional, is interest of a
purely politica! kind, and seems to have no
reference whatever to the cause Of pure gov
ernment. The Democrats are reported to be
in furry as to what course is best to pur-
sue, but no intimation is conveyed that they
are at all anxious about the moral aspect of
the case. If the decision can be made to
work to their benefit at the next election
they will be satisfied, and Cincinnati can
struggle along under any or no government
so long as political henchmen are allowed
to get their rewards in the shape of salaries
from the city treasury.
To an outsider, the decision is interesting
because of the opposite deductions made
from it Governor Campbell's enemies say
that it kills him politically, while his friends
claim that it will only strengthen his
chances of succeeding himself, or of taking
a richer morsel from the political least perl
odically spread by the people. Either of
these deductions may be correct. Time
alone will tell, but much good to Cincinnati
cannot come until the affairs of that city are
run on an honest business basis instead of
for political profit.

PATENT OFFICE CENTENNIAL.

The approaching centennial celebration of
the United States Patent Office at Washing
ton is an event worthy of more notice than
has been bestowed upon it. On April 10
one hundred years will have elapsed since
the first patent to an American inventor
was issued by the United States Govern
ment, but the great progress since then in
all departments of mechanics and the arts is
but poorly appreciated by the people
benefited by the work of the inventors.
This lack of public appreciation can
be blamed on the rapidity with
which one great invention followed
another, the public becoming so accustomed
to great achievements in the line of indus
trial improvement that really wonderful in
ventions or discoveries came to be looked
upon quite as matter of course. This is
an entirely natural state of affairs, and
one which the inventors probably care little
about so long as they receive the proper
pecuniary rewards OF their genius.
The celebration will undoubtedly be pro-
ductive of much good in calling attention
to the great changes that have taken place
in a hundred years of mechanical activity.
Outside of this result, and the proper
