Among the many stories that Pal
grave Simpson told me. says writer,
was one about his first start as a
dramatist. He used to live in BrOmp-
ton after his return from Paris, where
ne had been a pupil of the great
Scribe. He was Of striking appear
ance, with long black hair and a
mustache. and used to wear a cloak.
During his walks abroad he came
across a lady who seemed to shrink
from him as if she feared him. One
Lay he was passing by Thurloe square,
and gave a penny to a crossing sweep
or, and hearing cry Of establishment
turned sharply around. The eXcla'
nation came from the opposite side
of the road 1t emanated from the
lady who had so frequently exhibited
signs of apprehension at his approach,
and who now seemed astOunded al
his little act of philanthropy. Soon
after this meeting, armed with a
letter OF introduction, he took a piece
to theater in the Strand to read to
one of the management. The author
did his best, and the reading went
off well. At the conclusion the man
ager said:
"And now, Mr.. Simpson, you must
allow me to introduce you to my
mother"
81 shall be delighted" said Pail
grave.
At this moment lady entered tho
room. in whom my friend recognized
the stranger he had seen in Thurloe
Square.
"This is Mr.. Palgraye Simpson, who
has been reading me most amusing
farce" said the manager.
The lady appeared to be in the last
stage of establishment.
Good graciousl" she exclaimed
"why, it is the benevolent brigand!'

Strange Ways OF Birds.

Why some birds which could pick up
food among US all the year round should
leave when food is plentiful while Others
with similar ways of life remain, is still
mystery, says the London Standard.
It is easy to understand that species
which preys on fresh water fish and on
frogs should seek other quarters when
the ponds are frozen and the frogs buried
in the clay. But it is not quite as clear
why the swallow and the dy catcher leave
region where there is perpetual summer,
and winged food in abundance, to risk a
long Journey over sea and land, only to
find a great scarcity of the same kind OF
food. And it is equally puzzling that
the seed and fruit eaters who since Oc-
tober have been fattening among the
gardens of Algeria aud Egypt should sud
denly, in March or April, be seized with
such an inordinate craving for a change
of diet as to fly 5000 miles on the chance
of picking up the short commons of an
English spring. Perhaps it will be found
that migration is natural to all birds and
il greater or lesss>aS circumstances may

The Literary.

The regular meeting of the Bryant Lit
erary Association on Monday evening at
the residence of P. Lamb was the most
successful OF the series, in point of at
tendance. The ladies had the meeting in
charge, and q pleasant program had
been prepared. There were several mu-
steal numbers, including both vocal and
instrumental music by Mesdames Gilman
and Miner, Miss Nickerson, and the male
quartet composed of Messrs. Woodley,
Rich, Bishop and Rice, with Charles Will
kins of Little Falls as substitute Ill one
number. They all acquitted themselves
to the perfect satisfaction of the audi
ence. Mrs. c. {. Tobey read carefully
prepared paper, it's title being Spare
Ribs"-a disquisition upon women-tneir
rights and wrongs. 1t was plea for
the euuality of women with men in all
the ordinary ayocations of life, taking
the position that under present and pre-
existing conditions that equal considera-
alton had been denied them, but that a
new era was opening, or had already
commenced, in which there are to be no
restrictions or Determinations whatso-
ever. The paper was discussed at length,
among those taking part being Messrs,
Hamilton, Lawson, Dubois, Petit and
one or two ladies.
/ At the close of the regular program a
pleasant surprise was introduced, upon
a table pile of peanuts had been pre-
pared and the audience was requested to
march by and without stopping to grasp
q handful and await developments.
President Woodley then requested all to
count the number each had secured, and
it was found that DR.. Dubois was the
champion grahber-he had thirty.two,
with MIR. Lawson good second with
twentY.six. Henry Capser had secured
but one. and that a very tiny one. MIR.
Woodley then announced two prizes
Que to Or. Dubois. a very pretty card
decorated with peanut owls, and one to
Mr.. Capser, a dressed doll made OF pea
nuts.
An innovation was the serving of re-
treshmerts. This was done by the ladies
as right claimed by them for this occa-
sion-it being ladies day, February goth.
It is distinctly understood that THIS de-
parture from the usualcourse establishes
no precedent. 1t will not again be ex-
pected until the next 29th of February.
At the next meeting Mr.. Hogan will
read paper upon Building Associations,
aud it will be well worth hearing.

A New GROCERY House.

The Union Mercantile company is put
ting large stock of fancy and choice gro
ceries into the building formerly occupi-
ed by Mr.. A. Scheldrup, on Main street,
which they propose to sell at bottom
prices. A strong feature of their bust
ness will be the exchange trade, paying
the highest market price for all kinds Of
farm produce, and especially butter and
eggs. They will also conduct d regular
grocery business, giving more goods for
a dollar in cash than is usually offered.
1t is strong concern, purchases for
cash, and can make special PRICES. The
managers are men of enterprise, thora-
ughly familiar with the business and are
here to do business on business princi=
pies. The store will be opened on Sat
urday but not with as complete lines az
they had expected, as a large invoice OF
goods has bsen delayed. The public,
however, will find good assortment
upon the opening day, and a cordial Ing
vitation is extended to all. Howard
Wilcox has entered the employ of the
house and will be pleased to meet his old
friends and hosts of new ones.
