Hadn't Thought of n In That Light.
A lady who has recently returned from
travelling in Europe tells of wise man
whom she met. who seems to have been
cousin of the famous wise men OF
Gotham who put fence around a bush
TO keep in the nightingale who was sing
ing there.
She was going northward TO visit
North Cape and 20 sec the midnight sun.
On the steamer she made the acquaint-
ance of an elderly gentleman vino said
that ne was travelling simply for pleas
ure and the improvement of his mind
and who seemed 20 be a person OF much
learning. She was especially struck with
his knowledge Of astronomy, aud they
talked on this subject good deal.
You must have given great deal Of
attention 20 the study Of the stars she
said 20 him one day.
''Oh. yes" he answered, II have been
interested In the subject for years, aud /
have made il one Of my chief occupa-
tons as well rs pleasures. Ii is really
because of my love for astronomy that
decided 20 take this trip"
"How was thatg' she asked.
1T occurred 10 me, he said, 'that 80
far north as we are going the constella-
tons must be seen to greater advantage
than they are farther south. The air is
clearer, and the northern stars of course
can be seen much better"
But, my dear sir" she said, some
what astonished, Il do not see how you
expect TO study the stars to advantage
by daylight, and what we are going 10
see is the sun at the time when it does
not set at all"
An expression Of astonishment and dis
may came over the face of the wise man.
Il don't see how l can have been SO
stupid" he exclaimed, "but really l

"The White Squadron"

There was a large audience at the
Opera House, last night, to witness the
first production Of this original and pic
turesque drama. The play admits Of
brilliant scenery, aboundS in dramatic
situations. and has much merit, bat
the opportunities for fine effects
are married by certain very palpable
drawbacks, especially in the third act,
where the opportunity for brilliant
and effective spectacle in the meeting
OF the foreign admirals was spoiled by
the introduction OF the r2weSt OF re- "
material and by the homogeneous con-
trast OF handsome uniforms and gilt
tering gold lace with cheap muslin
flags. Last night the audience guyed
this scene numerically, laughter greet
ing the appearance of the various naval
dignitaries as they appeared upon the
stage.
The principal characters are well
taken, especially Mr.. billiards "Nictor
Stanton" Mr.. Harcourt's "PaulO Da
Sivlerva," Mr.. Hastings Francisco De
Romacio," and Herbert Carr's "SantoS."
The scenery and costumes are excellent,
and the play, with the exception noted,
strong one. 1t will be repeated this
evening.

a Dispute Over a Fence.

There was amusing scenes on the
South Side all yesterday afternoon, and
by it many persons were attracted 10
the corner OF Twenty-second and Enff
streets.
John Zorn owns the property adioln-
ing the well known McClain property.
VIM. Ii. Travis now lives in the prop
erty. A dispute over foot of land has
been brewing between the property
owners for some time. Old deeds forty
years back were raked out and Nc
Claim wanted asfoot, so the story goes.
Zarn started TO build a fence o
few days ago, separating the properties
It is said in the morning his fence was
lat. Yesterday morning he started 10
build again. About noon, u colored
man in his employ was told to go and
nail the boards on. Another cUlored
man was seen from the McClatn side TO
knock of the boards as fast as the Zorn
representative would get them nailed
on. Then the fun for tho by-standerS
began, Hardly would No. get a board
on Till No. ., with his big hammer,
would knock it of. Strange to say,
the colored men didn't get angry, but
grinned humorouSly at the on-lookers.
Night descended with the conflict unde-
cided, but no boards were on the fence.
People think the matter will end in
Court.
