The sisal grass of Yucatan is one Of
the most remarkable vegetable products
known. It grows in long blades, some
times to the length of four or five feet,
and when dry the blade curls up from
side to side, making a cord which is
stronger than any cotton string of equal
size that has ever been manufactured.
It is in great demand among florists and
among manufacturers of various kinds
Of grass goods, but as soon as its valua-

carlyIe and the Bride.

We we're inside passengers by a mail
coach, and before it started young
bride and bridegroom on their honey
moon Joined us. The bride was charm
ing, and Carlyle courteously talked to
her about sight seeing and the pleasures
of travelling, mounting at times to higher
themes, like man who never had a
care. He got out of the coach for mo-
ment at roadside inn, and the bride,
whom happened to have known at Bel
fast, from whence she came, imme-
diately exclaimed, "Who is that twad-
ding old Scotchman who allows no one
to utter word but hi1nself?'
1 was so tickled by this illustration of
the folly of scattering pearls in insult
able places that burst into a guffaw OF
laughter, which was not easily extin-
guished. In the evening Carlyle asked
me what had been laughing at SC
boisterously. 1 told him, expecting him
to be as much amused as I was. But
philosophers, 1 suppose, don't like to be
laughed at by young brides, for he was
as much disconnected by the incident as

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The County Fair.

A packed audience enjoyed the first
performance in this city last evening at
Portland Theatre of "The County Fair"
which has attained such widespread
fame from it's long series of performances
at Park Theatre, Boston. In the play as
produced at the latter named theatre,
Mr.. Neil Burgess's PRESERVATION of the
fussy, good hearted Aunt Abigail, with
her homely, CHEEKY humor and quaint
sayings, made the piece a success, assist
ed by the wonderful horse race, in which
Cold Molasses wins and lifts the mort
gage on the farm. In Jefferson, Klaw &
Changers company, who produced the
play last night, Miss Maria Bates as
sumed the character of Aunt Abigail
most successfully, and if her assumption
perhaps was not as remarkable as Mr..
Burgess's effort, it was owing in a great
measure to the fact that in the one case
man played woman's character, and
in the other it was taken by woman.
Still her personation met with the warm
applause VI Ullo AL IAIC O1le0l
acters were well taken, including of
course the hard hearted Scion, the way
ward but good hearted bright little
Taggs, Tim, the waif, who rides Cold
Molasses to victory, and Otis Tucker.
The husking scene was much enjoyed,
and the little tot who initiated Aunt
Abigail in the dances, with laughing
face and graceful manner, fairly won the
hearts of the audience. The great horse
race was we'll done. The effect was very
realistic. The horses urged to their ex-
IRENE speed, the flying panorama, all
lighted by the electric lights, gave one
the impression that they were looking
on an actual race. The play will be re-
peated tonight and Saturday.

Major dArlandes, like many another

promotion and opportunities to dis
tinguish himself. He seized an oppor-

at the same time to remind Louis XVI
of his baf1ed ambitions.
He made balloon ascension, which
at that time was thought to be very
risky affair. The king promptly re-
proved him for his rashness.
