Mart Hanley, Edward Harrigan's manager.
had peculiar experience The other evening in
Philadelphia. a forlOrn-looking man presented
himself at the boX-Offce and inquired for The
manager MI. Hanley happened TO be entering
the thealer at the time, so he spoke to the man,
who modestly request ed to be allowed TO 20 up
10 the gallery, stating that be was sort of "Old
Lavender" himself. Mart had just come from
an excellent dinner and was in the best OF
humors, so he passed the poor fellow 10 and
told him 10 enjoy himself. The tramp appre-
clated Haney's kindness, and proceeded to tell
every one he knew Of his good luck, ana that is
the reason why Mart turns up his coat collar
pulls his high hat down over bis ears and
sneaks quietly into the thesIer. He says he
never thought man could have as many
friends as the tramp whom he passed into the
gallery.

g German Soldier

Mr.. James A. Reilly brings TO MoTosco's
Grand Opera-hOuse This week a new play by
Harry w. Emmett, titled as above. Emmett
PLAYED in this city some years ago, and was
colleague of Arthur BranscOmbe, now (after
good many reyerses) successful playwright in
London. Emmett is bright fellow, both as an
actor and author, ana there is no doubt but
that his play on Monday night will develop this
fact. "a German Soldier" is stuffed as full Of
pretty little melodies as IN English pudding is
of plums, and Reilly, who is enthusiastic on the
subject of music, renders them all at their fun
value. His life was saved by song on an
occasion. He was locked up with an old Ger
man, who proved to be a lunatie and who
menaced him With a long knife. Reilly tells
the story in this way:
u determined 10 try the experiment. My
mind went back 10 the songs had been re-
hearslng thar day, and started 10 sing the first
one that introduced IN my play. | sang the
verse, and had come 10 the refrain:

when he sprang past me, and, holding up the
knife, multeTed Sepulcbrally: More more -

that he wanted different song for his encore.

beg to state with all sincerity that
the children in these districts are he
ing taught by approved modern
methods and are eDioying the same
privileges as the children in the hest
conducted public schools in the large
cities of the Union. Forsaking the old
Efforts to secure a parrot-lke recital Of
a lesson, a method in which those who
best grasped the meaning of the lesson
were sometimes distanced by those of
glib tongues, the endeavorer is made
even in the most remote districts to
teach the younger children bv their
senses first. At Downs Chapel | saw
boys and girls Of eight receiving their
hTst impressions Of geography. bv
moulding in sand on large board
islands, continents, mountains. hills.
etc. Each object thew formed was
made a means also Of increasing their
vocabulary, as they were called upon
to tell the parts of a mountain. &c.
At Hartley the walls were covered
with the handiwork of the vounoer
pupils; colored maps, drawing of the
races Of men. Several Of them had cut
out pictures Of ali kinds of animals and
then together had pasted them on a
globe, arranging the animals according
to zones in which they were found.
At kenton little tots of six, only in
school two or three weeks, named OBJ
longs, squares, triangles, &c, when held
up TO sight, recognized their coors, de-
hned their shapes, and performed little
sums of addition, subtraction and null
! lrlicatiOn with colored sticks held in
hands. 1t will be seen at once that

A Crazy Fire Bug.

Clifford Hand, farmer living near
Talleyvile, Brandywine Hundred, was
arrested by State Detectives McVey
and Witsil charged with burning sew
eral barns and other buildings in Brandy
wine Hundred during the past year.
Among the properties destroyed were
Hands own barn and the barn and
dwelling of his brother. Another was
the barn of Elihu Talley, on the night
of April G. He admitted that he was
the author of the fires. He gave as his
reason that the buildings were infested
by hidden devils, and the only way to
get rid of them was by burning their
hiding places. His mind is seriously
affected, and is addicted to the use of
laudanum.
