The BeedIe Concert.

4
Tuesday night was wild and clustering
but a fair-sized house greeted Beedle's or
chestra, whose rendering of the first mum
Der on the program, Mendelssohn's We'd
ding March, made the audience feel we'll
repaid for the efforts exerted to be present.
The orchestra is now on its fifth annual
tour, and 1t was the generallyrexpressed
opinion of those who heard them this time
that they never gave better concert in
Randolph than the one of Tuesday night.
Springs Awakening and the inter
mezzo, Ballroom Whispers" were espe-
cially fine; while the cello solo, Caprice
Hongroise," by Mr.. Karl r. Beedle, was
enthusiastically applauded. Mr.. Claude
Barker, also, In brilliantly executed solo,
proved himself cornetist OF rare merit.
The banjo and vocal selections, while
not the strongest features of the program,
were very good indeed
Not quite all of the troupe were here,
one member being detained in Boston by
the railroad washouts; but that trombone
artist, Mr.. Bagley, was present to the de-
light OF his many admirers likewise the
five Beedles, Mr.. Minis, the piccolo soloist,
and Mr.. Jenness, the musical director,
who Yields the bow of that king of instru-
ments, the violin, with a practiced hand.
At the close of the concert, dancing
party OF about twenty couples took pos
session of the hall and tripped the meas
ures OF the giddy dance to the most en-
trancing music.
Ice cream and cake were served for re-
freshments, and after an order of fifteen
numbers the merry crowd dispersed.

The stubs show a record Of
each Order drawn, and amount

Each Order is larger than a

other funny business. Just clear

A Spell Of Weather.

A Spell OF weather.
forty-eight hours rain set In Friday
night and Sunday morning 1t was no long
er necessary to make personally con-
Quoted" tour to Europe in order to see
how Venice looks. Weston fiat was sea
and had none but waterways. The doge's
palace and many other fine buildings had
their cellars below the surface of the water
on which they sat as gracefully as ducks,
while gondolas moved over the canal-like
streets, presenting a novel appearance to
people accustomed only to seeing houses
standing on dry land.
The water stood at depth OF not less
than four feet on the fat, and the inhabi-
tants were cut off from all communica-
ton with each other or the rest OF the
world except by boat.
There was no outlet for the water, as the
high railroad embankment that crosses
the front OF the fiat completes the basin
like border of the surrounding hills. The
food was the worst on Dudley street,
though the water surrounded the Will
liams hall, the screen mill and all the
dwelling houses on Weston street until
after the Gabrielle tenement house was
passed there the ground begins to ascend
a little, and the water considerably re-
Trained from running uphill. In all be-
tween five and six acres of land we're SUBJ

Sunday morning, the doctors were tax
en- by boat to visit their patients, Mr.. Da-

mia, and w. A. Scott, the tailor, having
wrenched his back severely by slipping on
the ice the night before.
Monday, two boats and couple OF RATS
began to ply over the face Of the deep,
ferrying pilgrims from the fiat to the
coast and back again. The larger and
better Of the boats was appropriately
christened by facetious gentleman from
the Inundated region, who explained his
appearance on dry land by saying that he
had just come over in the Mayfiower.

BIRD SONG.
By 1t the Feathered Race Depicts Love
and Passion.

BY 1t the Feathered Race Depicts Love
and Passion.
The gift of bird song is largely mas
euline prerogative, an expression of
tender sentiment by which the affec-
ton of the opposite sex may be at
tracted and retained. Indeed the birds
furnish no exception to the sweeping
assertion that "'tis love that gives the
key to all earth's music" They sing
from love and happiness, says one;
from love and rivalry, another asserts;
while Joy and buoyancy of spirits are
said by a third authority to be answer
able for their music. That most of the
species sing best in the spring is well
known, the motive that is responsible
for the general outpour of song being
result of its influences; they are happy
to be at home again in the old haunts,
to be surrounded by plenty and to feel
the matchless sweetness of returning
springtime.
One of the most delightful of our
American essayists believes all birds to
be incipient or would be songsters then
that even the hen has a homely, con-
tented carol-and he credits the owl
with desire to fill the night with
music. The light of love within the
little birds heart is brightest at that
season and overhows and illumines his
song; "the language of passion keeps
time to the hearts rhythm until the
full beauty of the flower of love is
reached in the thousands of beautiful
homes about us.
Undoubtedly they sing at times foi
very Joy, just as we go singing about
our work because our hearts are light
and happy and the song sings itself, we
have only to listen to it.

CUP DAY IN NIOlORlA.
The Great Event in the Calendar of this
City of Melbourne.

City of Melbourne.
No one who has not visited Australia
can have any conception of the interest
which attaches to such race as the
Melbourne cup, which, with its sweep
stakes from the one hundred and forty
nine entries that were made in 1890, it's
trophy of e15O value, and its added
money of 100000, amounting altogether
to $13,0S0, is the most important money
contest in the world, says Sidney Dick
inson in Scribners Magazine. On the
day of its occurance all business is sus-
pended by mutual consent throughout
Victoria, the banks and government
offices are all closed, and by twelve
o'clock the streets of Melbourne are as
silent and deserted as if the city were
stricken with plague. For week
before the event, the railway trains
from Sidney, to the number of seven or
eight in day, and all the inter-colonial
and mail steamers from that city and
Adelaide, are taxed to their utmost ca
pacity, and the accommodations of Mel

towns, are taken up by the immense
concourse of visitors. The facilities for
reaching bennington are so good, how
ever, and the course itself SO spacious
that even at the great race of the cen
tennial year, when more than 10000
persons were upon the grounds, one
saw the event with perfect comfort, and
was transported to and from the course
without five minutes, waiting at either
end of the line. The admirable temper
and sobriety of the great assembly are
largely responsible for such result.
During the four days meeting of 1888
only five arrests were made on the
grounds, and none of these was for seri-
Gus offenses. The crowd at an Aus
tralian race meeting is often rough in
appearance, but in orderliness and good
nature can hardly be excelled.

Rather Dangerous sport for Hunters That
Are Not Wary.
A few days ago a Californian left the
big brickyard. near Anderson, for .
quail hunt along The banks of the
Sacramento river. Under o cover of
brush he discovered a nice flock of
birds, but when he raised his gun to
have shot they disappeared He felt
satisfied that there were quite num-
Der under a particular bush, and he
blazed away.
The noisy futtering which followed
told him the result, and he ran for his
prize, and just as he was reaching out
his hand to catch wounded quail ne
was suddenly shocked to discover an
enormous rattlesnake in the line of the
bird. The man, although weighing
nearly three hundred pounds, jumped
backward six feet from the brush, and
then gained his breath. He approached
the birds again, with his gun cooked
and ready for sudden shot, and learned
that the snake was dead. When he
fred at the birds he killed the snake
and six quail, although none of the
birds or the serpent were in view. The
snake had eight rattlers and a button
and was three and half feet in length,

She Had the Evidence.

A novel piece of evidence was intro
duced recently in breach of promise
case in Bavaria. The defendant OBJ
stinately denied the charge, and stated
that his accuser had nothing to show
to prove her statement. The latter, a
buxom village maiden, asked one day
to be permitted to bring in her evi'
dence. The court granted her request
and adjourned until ten o'clock the
next day. At the appointed time she
was on hand, and upon the query OF
the Judge where her evidence was, she
opened the door and four lumbermen
brought in tree trunk, upon the bark
of which her faithless adorer had in
cised both their initials within fam
ing heart! She won her case.
