LAST OF THE DEAN LECTURES.

Mr.. Frederic Deans last lecture on "The
Seven Living Composers" advertised to be
given in Hasbrouck Hall on Thursday even
ing, will certainly be one of the most de-
lightful of Mr.. Deans very delightful
course. The works Of Verdi, Brahms,
R ubenstein, Massenet, Grieg, BaTnby and
Dudley Buck cover the entire ground of the
music of the day as competently as the
works of the leaders of the various music
schools of the world can. Italy, Russia,
Germany, France, Scandinavia, England
and America will be illustrated in song.
Upon the programme are two OF NerdIs
arias, a duet and solo from Brahms, Ruben
STEMS s.Since First | Met Thee and ms
famous MELODY in F. Massenet's ssElegie,"
Barnby's Sweet and Low" and Dudley

by Edward Grieg and Dudley Buck.
The names of Miss Mary Huger Gayer, q
Paris, Mrs. Frederic Dean and Dir. Carl =.
Martin are surely enough to vouch for q
splendid illustration Of the music under con
s~ideration.

This Rooster Fights Rats.

City Treasurer George Sidman of
Meadville, Pa, has a rooster who has
taken upon himself the care of brood
of about ten small chicks. The king
of the barnyard takes special pains to
be with these little 'feathered ones on
all occasions to defend them and see
that they have fair play. Mr.. sidman
has discovered that rats attempt to
get the grain fed his little chicks, and
one day this week caught the rooster
defending the little brood while eat
ing their meal The rooster took a
position near where the rats made
their appearance to get the grain, and
as fast as one rodent put its head in
sight the rooster would peck their
heads and thus chase them back into
their holes.

Little DrOps OF Water.

The childish ditty beginning Little

mind of Boston printer. He occupies
rooms just over dealer in fancy goods,
on side street that runs from Ire
mont, off the Common. About two
weeks ago one of the devils employed
by the printer was taken with fit
while he was washing at the sink, and
fell in heap on the floor. The result
was that the plush department of the
downstairs merchant was deluged,
the glove boxes, photograph albums,
ETC., being badly warped. A storm
followed, which was cleared away by
the payment of nominal damages.
Last week the proprietor of the print
ing Office himself was in the office one
evening, and being thirsty went to the
faucet. But the water had been shut
off, and, no stream following the open
ing of the stopcock, he forgot to close
it, and went home. The water was
turned on before morning, and then
came repetition of the former expert
ence. 1t was no use for the type-man

flood had warped the plush goods

1t is neither by his intelligence nor

by force of character. To maintain
an empire of more than 400, 200, 900
scattered over the earth to widen it
every day, without functionaries, with
with volunteers, is wonderful, it must
be acknowledged. And, at present, |
can affirm that not single colony
causes John Bull the least apprehen-
sion. A magistrate and dozen po-
licemen administer and hold in respect
districts larger than five or six French
departments. Justice is melted out to
the natives as impartially us to the
colonists. All these young nationali-
ties enjoy the most complete liberty,
political and social.

First Weather Prophet.

The father of the weather bureau
service was Increase A. Lapham, a
modest and retired but ripe scholar,
who lived in Milwaukee. He was the
Grst to note by telegraph the progress
Of the wind currents and storms and
to predict their appearance in specified
neighborhoods. On the strength of a
weather dispatch from Omaha, in 1869
Or Whereabouts, he announced the first
storm on Lake Michigan that ever was
heralded twelve hours in advance of
It's arrival. The first work sf the
weather bureau was under his charge
m Chicago. 1t was on the small be-
ginnings of DR.. Lapham that the entire
system of the signal service was based.
Dr.. Lapham died in 1875.
