Last night at the residence OF Mrs.
Crosson on the corner of Livingto
Avenue and Augusta street grand
reception was given in honor of Misses

attractive young ladies, visiting Miss

with many festoons of moss, flowers
apd evergreen and brilliantly lighted
With gas Jets and incandescents all
combining with the merry laughter
of the pretty young ladies, robed in
exquisite gowns and the happy voices
of the many handsome boys, and the
music created one grand symphony.
All the delightful refreshments
known to the most accomplished en-.
tertainer were served by several
walters with faces as dark as mid
night robed in snow white linen.
Altogether it was a brilliant affair
and one that will not be forgotten by
those who were honored with an invi,
tation. Dancing, the acme of all pleas
urers, was INDUCED in, interspersed
with bright, witty and delightful
conversation. Those who were no.

AESTHETIC BIRDS.
Some of Them Build Play Houses and
Adorn Them.

Some of Them Build Play Houses and
Adorn Them.
The most remarkable instance OF
sostheticism among birds is that ex-
hibited by the Australian bower birds,
who build long galleries in which to
play, adjoining them with shells,
feathers, leaves, bones, or any colore6
or glittering object which comes in their
way. Capt. Stokes described one OF
these bower birds as taking a shell
alternately from each side of the bower
and carrying it through in it's beak.
Lumholtz describes several of these
play houses of the bower birds; he says
they are always to be found sin small
brushwood, never in the open field and
in their immediate vicinity the bird
collects mass of different kinds OF OBJ
jects, especially snail shells, which are
laid in two heaps, one at each entrance
the one being always much larger
than the other. There are frequently
hundreds of shells, about 800 in one
heap and 30 in the other. There is
usually a handful of green berries part
ly inside and partly outside the bower"
In his interesting book, "Among Can
ground of what would appear to be
different species of this bird, showing
even greater aesthetic taste. He says:
'On the top of the mountain heard
in the dense scrubs the loud and un-
ceasing voice of bird. l carefully APP
preached it, sat on the ground and
shot it. 1t was one of the bower birds,
with gray and very modest plumage
and of the size of "a thrush. AS picked
up the bird my attention was drawn to
a fresh covering of green leaves on the
black soil This was the birds place of
amusement, which beneath the dense
scrubs formed square about yard
each way, the ground having been
cleared OF leaves and rubbish.
On this neatly-cleared spot the bird
had laid large, fresh leaves, one by the
side of the other, with considerable
regularity, and close by he sat singing,
apparently extremely happy over his
work. AS soon as the leaves decay they
are replaced by new ones. On this ex-
Gu rsion l saw three such places of
amusement all near each other, and all
had fresh leaves from the same kind OF
trees while large heap of dry, with
cred leaves was lying close by. 1t seems
that the bird scrapes away the mold
every time it changes the leaves, so as
to have u dark background, against
which the green leaves make better
appearance. Can anyone doubt that this
bird has the sense of beauty.-Cham-
ber's journal.

MUSIC IN AMERICA.

Foreign Critics Pronounce Our Orchestras
Superior to Those OF Europe.
The fine arts were not sought after in
tho early history of our land Men oc.'
cupied with extensive problems in gov
ernment had neither time nor oppor-
tunity to give to that most divine of all
human endeavors, "Music, sweet heav-
emily maid Fifty years ago, Malibran
and other operatic stars made brief
success here, but the general record OF
musical projects was one of spirited en-
terprises and discouraging failures.
Still, this could not but be temporary
The struggle with the wilderness and
George I'LL, with experiments in popu-
lar sway and democratic constitutions,
gave way to quieter scenes, and unre-
mitting toll demanded relaxation.
To-day there are thou sands of our
pest buildings distributed all over the
states for the purpose of concerts, the
opera, colleges of music, etc. These arc
N many instances managed by men
who spare neither pains nor expense to
secure the best talent the world can af-
ford. st. Louis, Denver, San Francisco
Ind New Orleans are centers of cultiva-
zion in vocal and instrum entail music,
while Milwaukee and Cincinnati have
irradiated musical culture through the
northwest and the southeast respective
~. Even Montana, Idaho and other west
ern states are continually increasing
their facili ties for the entertainment
and elevation of the people by means Of
harmony and song.
Vocal music is not practiced so extern
siveiy in the United States as in the
2lder countries of Europe. The mas
sive choruses of the Crystal palace and
Albert hall London, and the Birming-
ham Triennial festival, England, have
yet to be heard here. But they are
coming, and coming apace.
AS stone in the other pocket, com
petent critics, and foreigners at that
have pronounced American orchestras
superior to European ones, The per-
formances of Thomas, Damrosch and
Seidl may certainly challenge conpeti-
ton from any quarter, And would it
not be Il desirable feature to provide for
an international contest of our best
bands at the Forthcoming worlds fair?
During the Centennial exhibition at
Philadelphia, such a programme was
arranged. Dan Godfrey brought his
magnificent guards band to this coun-
try, allowed TO do so by special act of
parliament, and their brilliant tour
through the states is fresh in our mem
cries What a treat to hear Gilmore's,
Cappa's and Godfrey's bands play in

was not merely the loss of the benedic-
tion and Coronation, great as that dis
appointment was; but the Incident so
clearly disclosed her sad, isolated, mo-
notonous life.
BY supper time, however, she had re-
gained her natural, brave content, and
as all the dodgers returned in good
humor from their various Sunday re-
laxations, she was led to relate wiki
spirit her experience OF the day.
Now it chnpced that Mr.. and MRS
Gowell were, like the most of JUS, sell
fish only from laziness and careless
ness. When opportunity for a kindness
was pressed upon them they were warm
of heart. And Mrs. Snively's comically
sad experience set them to thinking to
such good purpose that they got all the
dodgers to agree to cold lunch, instead
of the usual elaborate Sunday dinner,
and quite electrified Mrs Snively by
saying to her at supper the next Satur-
day:
"We want you to go TO church with
US tomorrow, Mrs. Snively, and We'll
all be well pleased with cold, late
lunch. Our carriage will call for us at
ten"
So tie black silk came out from the
trunk, the placid old face found itself
inside Sunday bonnet once more, the
worn hands proudly dropped ten-cent
piece into the contribution box, and,
strangely enough, the cracked voice
got chance to quaver through "Coro-
nation" And the benediction, "Now
unto him who is able to keep" rested,
with the exception of the Gowells, upon
no more blessed spirit than hers.

Ben Lusbie, who for fifteen years was
one of the greatest features of Barnum's
circus in the capacity of lightning
ticket seller" had wonderful parrot,
which had been presented to him by one
of the canvasmen of the show, who was
at one time a sailor on steamer ply
ing between Boston and Fernandino,
in the Bahamas. Lus bic used to have
way of quieting the scrambling mob
of the ticket-purchasers around the
ticket wagon by aging: Don't be in
hurry, gentl emen." There's plenty
of time" Don't crowd each other"
"One at a time, gentlemen" and such
like expressions. The parrot, which
was perched upon the safe in the wagon
just back of Lusbie, got to learn these
little speeches after IL seasons tour and
often broke out in a piercing squawk
with one Of them, much to Lusbie's
amusement. The parrot, which was
quite a little vagabond, broke loose
from her fetters one day and flew over
in to Il neighboring woods, near the cir.

LITTLE HOMER'S SLATE.

After dear old grandma died,
Hunting through an ouken chest
I'm the attic, we espied
What repaid our childish quest;
Twas n homely little slate,
Seemingly Of ancient date.
On its quaint and battered face
Was the picture Of q cart
Drawn with all that awkward grace
Which betokens childish art;
But what,meant this legend, pray;
"Homer drew this yesterday"
Mother recollected then
What the years we're fain to hide
She was but a baby when
Little Homer lived and died:
Forty years, so mother said,
little Homer had been dead.
This one secret through those years
Grandma kept from all apart
Hallowed by her lonely tears
And the breaking OF her heart;
While each year that sped away
Seemed to her but yesterday.
So the homely little slate
Grandma's babys fingers pressed,
To q memory consecrate,
Lieth in tho oaken chest,
Where, unwilling we should know,
Grandma put it, years ago.
