ELACK CROOK.

The coming TO this city of that famous
spectacle, 'The Black Crook" will recall
to the old timers the '.Biack Crook" OF
1866, with its academic premiers, its full.
skirted coryphees, and its amply draped
fgurantes, and who, last year, gazed upon
the spectacular carnival at the Academy
of Music, New York. with it's succession
of scenes, are moved to reflection on
the change in the times. Prior to
the initial production of Charles
Barras' spectacle, there had never been u
regular ballet of any size III this country
Lola Montez had fitted across the stage.
and Fanny Ellsler had danced few char
acteristic steps, but complete ballet wi, b
prima assoluta, secondi aud ballerni, WAS
unknown. The little the public had seen
of women in tights WAS confined to the
performance of ''MaZ9ppa." in which
either an Adah Isaacs Menhen. II
Kate Fisher or a Leo Hudson WAS
lashed to the back of wild, lntamed,
Barbary steed. The sensation can be
imagined when all at once the stage of
Niblo's Garden, New York. WAS filled with
what seemed to DO myriads Nt women in
short skirts, in trunks and In breeches. 1t
was beautiful spectacle aud it appealed
to the senses rs no theatrical performance
ever had before.

adroit to prevent such all escapade He kept her constantly engaged i'll conversa tion, or at least he talked most brilliantly while Elsie remained dumb. There was dinner to get, and Miss Prissy rang her bell just then to summon Elsie for the purpose of sending an important message to MT. Hapgood. The sisters presented their compliments to Arthur and begged him to do them the honor to take a dish of tea with them that afternoon at o'clock. Hapgood accepted the invita- tion ill the same polite terms, but still he remained close to Elsie's side while she cooked the dinner, preparing vege- tables and brolling meat. She felt she was being watched as a cat watches a mouse, and at last her nerves gave way. She approached the young man, with her face in a crimson glow, and holding a long handled iron spoon.
 "Mr. Hapgood, said she firmly, "do go out and take stroll around the place or take a seat ill n'the sitting room and amuse yourself with book You will find Uncle Sis library in there can't t cook while people arc looking on, and you will oblige me. "
 My dear Elsie," he said in his bland, cheering way, II am just ill love with this old kitchen, and you would be too cruel and unkind to drive mo away 1 am a bit of all antiquarian, as 1 told you, and those old smoke stained beams, the uneven floor, the settle i'll the chi1n- ney nook, the old crane and pothooks, the high clock in the corner, the oal: dresser znd tn bra Ted mats are delight ful, all ill a perfectly harmonious tone shall preserve them just as they are when remodel the hou e. And that room where the ancient ladies live is of fine old colonial style. With few al terations it will make a pretty library The other portions of the house will of course have to be torn down.
 Every word of this speech seemed to stick a sharp needle into Elsie's heart She was very angry and would gladly have thrown the long handled spoon at Arthur Hapgood's nicely brushed head
 Well, she said spitefully, Eff you will stay here when l have requested you to go away. your dinner will not be fit to eat. "

WHERE TEAK WOOD GROWS.
The Coming of the White Man Meant
 Nations Fall.

The Coming or the White Man Meant A
 Nations Fall.
 In the heart of untrodden jungles, on thick wooded hillsidcs, leaning over the brinks of precipiccs, where tropical creepers twi,t like snakes choking the life out of younger growths, where or chids fiauut aloft and strange vines bloom, there tho teak wood grows. r Against its corrugated bark tigers and leopards sharpen their claws, and under it's thick shade strange beasts rest by day.
 That atom of animate destruction, the white ant has passed it by. Other growths have reared their heads out of the jungle around it, have grown, have lived their day, died and routed back to the roots which supplied them with life. In comparison man has been midget, a mote ill the sun, hunting his fellow animals with flint headed arrows and stone axes, fitting, passing, gone, but the great oaks have grown, have spread their arms benignantly over the dust of tiny shapes beneath, and planted ill dignity have stood as emblems of strength and power ill meditations last luB Oue, two, tHTGe, uNe duu SIX uuu- dred years. They have secreted the units of time in their hearts as a maiden hides the thoughts of her first love. Days have come as thick as the snows that fall on Kunchinjunga or as the waves crowding one another to the shores of the Bengal sea. And then, as if to give color to the superstition of the hill man long since gone with his tribe to the land where shadows fall deeper than those cast by the teak tree ill the jungle, out of these emblems of strength has grown a weakness that has overthrown a nation.
 The first oak of Burma to be fellcd by white man was symbolic of the nations fall, and when the visitor to Mandalay is shown the kings palace and reads the inscription on one side of a bungalowlike veranda, king The baw sat ill this opening with his two queens and the queen mother when he | gave himself up to General Prendergast on the 3Oth day of November. 1885," if he cares to continue the fancy, he will notice that on each side of this opening the Oaken carvings are broken and de- faced, as if the events which changed dynasty had leaned upon the teak wood and it had fallen beneath the weight. t.-Century.

The popular Miss Rose Mccarthy, of 347 East 87th Street, New York City, writes:
 "For long time was troubled with nervousness and violent headaches. would lie awake nearly all night and was in constant misery. Previous to this my complexion was very healthy color, but it now became very bad.
 "I took three bottles of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy and was entirely cured. My nervousness and head aches left me, my good complexion re- turned and 1 slept perfectly. 1 can safely say to everybody who is suffering, just give it 8 trial and you will be cured hope my statement will find relief fol many people who do not know the benefit of such a wonderful medicine"

Where Turk, Kindoo and Afghan Jostle
 the Mohammcdan and Hadji.
 In the densely thronged streets of Nizam the scantily clad negro, with a scarlet 'tarboosh" perched on his woolly locks, jostles the dignifed Mohammo- dan, true lord of the soil in snowy tur- ban and flowing robes; the long haired, eagle featured Afghan strides alongside of the fanatical Hadji, whose green headgear shows that he has accomplish ed the sacred pilgrimage to distant Meo- ca, and martial Rajputs dash past on fiery chargers, dispersing 8 gossiping group of Sidis leaning like ebony statues against the marble basin of tho great fountain which faces the Char Minar.
 A devout son of the prophet laves his face ill the silver spray before spreading out his prayer carpet for the monday prisons, as the turbaned head of the muezzin appears on the gallery of every minaret, and the cry La Allah il Al | lah' rings across the city. A Rohilla chieftain, with a jeweled dagger thrust through dark blue caftan, swings the heavy blunderbuss described ill native parlance as ''the tigers child" and pushes aside barbaric looking Pathan, with leather shield, apparently sport ed as the insignia of full dress, like sword ill a ballroom.
 Olive skinned Hindoos glide stealth fly through the crowd, as though shrinking from contact with the motley | assemblage. Solemn Turks sit cross | legged beside their coffee stalls, and keen faced Parsees, with sloping oilskin hats, are engrossed with the arithmet- ical alcalculationsso successfully mastered by these astute descendants of the an cient Persians, in their modern charac- ter of "the Jews of India"
 A few Parsee ladies, with silken "saris'' of cherry color lilac or apple green, thrown back from white head bands inscribed with sacred texts, drive through the bazaars, but the absence of women from the crowded thoroughfares results from the cloistered seclusion of the "purdah," which imprisons the majority of the fair sex-All the Year Round.

 Shakespeare says: "When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in b1ttaiions" How true this is of disease. How surely will over-work lead to ner- vousness, headache, nervous exhaustion, prostration, paralysis and the most terri ble nervous diseases.
 Bad blood causes humors, stomach, liv- CT and kidney complaints, rheumatism, bad complexion, tumors and all kinds of blood diseases. That tired feeling means exhaustion of the nerves and vital forces it kills. If the liver is torpid, constipa- tion follows. This clogs the circulation and causes congestion Of all the organs.
 You must stop these complaints right where they are, if you value your life. The way to do it is to take Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. It cures disease and makes you we'll

A COLLISION.
Mail Steamer and an Un-
known in the Channel.
The Strange Vessel Vanished in the
All Pervadlng Darkness.
Panic Among the Passengers and
Several of Them Hurt.

LONDON, Dec. 21.-The steamer Munster,
conveying the mails and a full compile
ment of passengers from Holyhead to
Kingstown, came into collision In
the channel at an early hour this morn
Ing with an unknown steamer. The
stranger struck the Munster on the port
side, carrying away her port wheel,
and vanished in the darkness. The
shock disarranged the wires on board
the Munster, extinguishing her electric
lights. There was great CONSERVATION
among the passengers, and the confusion
was increased by the fact the boat was
In such total darkness that the
extent OF the damage she had sustained
could not be readily ascertained.
The Munster, completely disabled,
drifted about In perilous position for
several hours. Some time after daylight
she was sighted by q vessel which came to
her assistance, and towed her to Holy
head. Several of the passengers and crew
were hurt by flying splinters, but none of
them were seriously injured.
