that the horrible tempt alton which the system
affords has had an irresi stible effect upon a
number OF New York dudes who frequent mu-
sic halls and some of them attain a momentary
celebrity by attempting TO guy the singer. 1t is
impossible TO convey any idea OF the drollery
OF the Bellw0Od accent when she answers her
aggressors. In some instances her words

smoky atmosphere of a music hall they pass

The O,NeiU -

The production of this historical spectacular
Irish drama at the StOckwell in the near future
is now accepted as a fixed fact. The necessary
preparations are being made. 1t is pIeten-
tIous work and too much Time cannot be spent
in preiimnaries and especially in rehearsals.
The drama, il is understood, VIII be brought
out under the immediate supervision OF the
author himself, William Greer Harrison, and,
therefore, II is unnecessary to say that every
atten ntion VIII be paid TO detail. If well deiY-
cred tn text of "Tbe O'NeIll" ought 10 impress
its hearers, for there are many tOrcible pass
ages IN the work. The apOstrOphe of the hero
in the agony and madness of his grief al the
murder Of his mother by Sussex English
soldiers Is one of these:
Thou pregnant hell, unfreight thy legionry
Thou mother earth, release thy 1mpious erewI
Thou heavy air. eject puiSSant hate!
Thou cruel sea, o'erlap thy guardian rocks
And overthrow this ruthless Sassenach.
Another is The O'Neilrs farewell TO Ire
land, when he thinks all hope lost, and Is flying
before the pursuing English:
Farewell. beloved hills, whose mossy crags
Were sacred affairs, where my young soul prayed
That L might live TO this haplesS isle
Restored TO peace with all her ancient rights,
Twas not TO be.
For this poor. foolish life have tears,
But for my unhappy land the sea itself
Were but a single tear. Since tears vain,
Pll give TO fate the welcome OF a smile.

What Is an Ensign?

Remarkable as 1t may appear, there are not
more than 80 per cent of the American peo.le
who know the meaning of the word ''ensign."
Many have a vague impression that 1t is in
some way connected with naval affairs. but II
you were TO ask for a definition of the word
some people would probably describe a mar
linspike and others 4 bObstay. The title Of
William Haworth's successful play, "Tne
Ensign" has given rise to many discussions
relative to its meaning, and the announcement
that the play is soon to be seen in this city rem

admiration for the talent she displays. The
playwright has shown great skill in the general

which he has devOleu his best work are those
OF David and DruSilla. They are touches OF
nature made on more startling lines than

Mr.. Bernhard Mollenhauer is now in this

family. In 1S47 and later there were TWO
musicians, brothers, playing the violin, who
gained the friendship OF Mendelssohn and
Schumann at Leipslc. MendessOhn wrote of
