BARON Hirsch's Son.

i A lady at present occupying proml-
nent position at the Russian court was,
when a girl of IA, invited to spend the
day with poor young Lucien Hirsch,
who was then living at the Chateau de
Beauregard, near Versailles, with his
father, the late Baron Hlrsch, and his
mother. Having Toasted on all the deli
cacies which the barOn'S generosity had
lavished on his young guest, she went
out with Lucien to play croquet. Paus-
ing on the terrace, she condescended to
admire the view and the grounds, and
her young companion asked, IF it were
yours. mademoiselle, what would you
do with it?" First of all, should turn
YOU all out" answered the enfant ter
rible, probably actuated by the Russian
aristocrats aversion to Jews, and for
the moment practicing candOr at the ex-
pense Of good manners. She remembers
Lucien Hirsch now as charming and
amiable youth and the late baron as the
incarnation Of generosity.

NEAR A HALF-YEAR'S FAST.
A Woman Has Passed 1859 Days Without
Nourishment,


Mrs. Henry Ingham, OF Calhoun county,
Mich, has now passed 1863 days without tar
Ing food or nourishment OF any kind. Ply
sieians declare her case to be without prece-
dent in medical annals, and they say 1t IS
possible she may live another days or
longer without food. When she was first
stricken she weighed 30 pounds Her
weight is now given at 110 pounds The
progress Of emaeiation has been slow, but
unless relief is afforded by means OF some
human or supernatural agency, death will
inevitably result from starvation, though
Mrs. Ingram declares she will not die from
starvation, believing that this fast is cru
cial test of her faith, and that she will live to
perform her LIES work, which is not yet ac-
complished. Fifteen years ago conditions de-
veloped which caused her to enter upon
last, which continued for $50 days, when, az
II by some act Of Providence, the desire to
eat returned, and her recovery was rapid
and complete, and until five months ago she
enjoyed perfect health Her lips are mois
tened at intervals, but no liquids have been
swallowed, and no food has been taken, nor
has nourishment been given her by any oil
the articles known to the men Of medicine.
Mrs. Ingham says she has no craving fof
food. The feeling Is peculiar, but not un-
pleasant, and while she suffers at times,
there are long periods when she is free from
pain Mrs. Ingham declares she will live to
eclipse her former fast of $50 days, and it
daily becomes apparent, as the spark OF life
fingers, that her prediction may be full

One day Thomas Carlyle went into a
tobacconist's shop in London and asked
for a certain brand of tobacco. The
shopman. not having the kind asked for,
and not knowing who he was dealing
with. produced another sort, which he

1t is not in the soil of every farm that one

deyolved upon these gentlemen, who were
born to the Nursery business, TO select from

Walker WhifesiGie.

Mir. Walker Whiteside, the trage- dian who is to appear at the Opera House next Thursday night, has been playing the Identification of Bulwer Lytton's Eugene Aram'' with great success this season. Thls weeks issue of the Dramatic Mirror contains the following:
 "According to the New Orleans | newspapers, the dramitization of Bulwer's Eugene Aram," produced recently in that city by Walker Whiteside, is successful, and the young actor is congratulated upon this addition to his repertoire. It is said that Mr. Whiteside has never appeared in a part better suited to him, or one in which he more thoroughly moved an audience. Several calls rewarded the first act, two after the third, and three after the last act. The play, which is the joint work of Paul Kester and Mir. Whiteside. is presented with hand some scenery"
 Mr. Whiteside is billed to produce Hamlet at his coming engage ment, but in response to popular demand Manager Rosenberg is mak- ing an effort to have the play changed to that of Eugene Aram. ; In this effort the GRAPHIC hopes that Mir. Rosenberg will be successful. Hamlet has been played here dur ing the last two successive seasons, and is not play that appeals to the popular massesl while Eugene Aram" has never been produced on our local stage and no doubt would draw a very large and profitable audience.
