learned, however. that the reports that nave al

The official reports issued to-day give the de-
tails OF a number Of engagements between GOV

EUROPEAN RAILROADS.

Their Mechanical Workings Described
by c. c. Elwell in Stereopticon Lee
ture at the Railroad Y. NJ. c. A.
Last Evening.
{. G. ElWell, superintendent of the
Norwich and Worcester division of the
Consolidated road, delivered a very
interesting lecture at the Railroad Y.
NJ. c. A. last evening. Mr. Elwell de-
scribed the mechanical working of Eu-
ably in this respect from American
railways. He described, among other
things, the coaches, or carriages, as
they are called, used on European
roads. These cars are closer together
in the train than are American cars
and have no end platforms. Each car
Is divided into compartments, first class
compartments accommodating four
persons, and second class eight. The
cars are lighted by lamps placed in the
car by being inserted in an opening
through the roof There are no stoves
or steam heaters in the carriages, but
liol Wdtel CdIlS are Suppileu III Winter
to warm the feet of the passengers.
Overcoats must be worn in winter
while riding in the carriages in order
to keep warm. Ventilation is secured
by letting down window in the door
of the cars, much in the same way as
. ventilation is secured for American
cars.
Mr.. EWell described the docks at Liv-
erpool, which extend for seven miles
along the Mersey river, and also de-
scribed the elevated railroad of Liver
pool, which uses electricity as mo-
tive power, with the third rail system,
such as is used on the Nantasket Beach
branch of the Consolidated road An
other interesting bit of description in
the lecture was that of the Forth
bridge is Scotland which is nearly 5000
feet in length,a built on the cantilev-
er plan. 1t is the longest bridge in the
world, and required seven years in it's
building, and cost about $12,000000.
The lecture was illustrated by ster-
eopticon views, which were prepared
from snap shots taken by Mr.. Elwell
while on a European tourn not long
ago.
The hall was completely filled last
evening and the audience applauded
heartily at the conclusion of the lee
ture.

At the Hyperion.

A full house greeted the production
of Du Souchet's farce comedy, MY
Friend from India at the Hyperion
last evening. The piece is one of the
funniest, both in action and situation,
now on the American stage, and the
cast is made up of people entirely CAP
able Of bringing out all the humor for
which the lines furnish opportunity.
Rolled up in every dialogue is joke,
and each movement of the story brings
out a combination of ludicrous circura-
stances which convulse the audience.
Every act is rounded out in a finished
manner with no padding to fill space or
time. The action is good, and at no
time does the piece drag, but on the
contrary, progresses with a snap and
yigor, frequently wanting in productions
of this sort There is none of the mo-
notony of machine made denouements,
but everything happens naturally and
in the usual course of events. The
very raturalness of the contretemps
from which the funny occurrences arise
would alone interest an Intelligent and
apprecia tive audience.
one OF the HlOSL dUluSlIlS SCcIGS III lHS
piece is that in which Underholt, the
retired pork packer, who is enjoying
his money, is led to believe by the con-
duct of his children and young guests.
by preconcerted arrangement, that he
is Intoxicated. The bogus mahatm2
vita whom he expects to entertain a
party of friends, arrives on the scene
and causes the old man to become his
sober self. He was then told that while
he was intoxicated he gave his consent
to the marriage of his son and daugh-
ter to their respective sweethearts for
their marriage with whom they had
previously endeayored in vain to gain
his consent.
Willie Collier, as \. Keene Shaver. a
theoscphical barber, is the star come
dian of the cast, and carries his role
with perfect attention to requisite de-
tails for the part
Miss Lulu Tabor, as the younger
daughter of the pork packer, puts into
her work a jollity and humor so free
from all appearance of studied effect
that she contributes greatly to the sue.
cess of the piece. Others in the cas-
are NJ. A Kennedy, Louise Allen, Mari
on Abbott. Cyril Scott. John 3. Maher
Henry Herman. Lila Vaue and Mia
Allen.
The piece viii be produced again al

Rubber Trees.

Rubber trees are often seen growing
lp to one very tall, spindling shoot,
without any disposition to branch; TINS
should be altered by pinching ont the
iop bud in the fall, causing the Plant
70 form other shoots. AS rule, the
,ubber plant does not branch without
oinching out, under our system OF cul'
lure, though one well-known florist Is
familiar in the trade AS the producer
Of naturally branching rubbers, with,
out the pinching process: We should
hardly advise putting the variegated
rubber plant outside during summer
because it is so very susceptible to
leaf injury; indeed, we should not
recommend Il as q house plant, either.
When in perfect condition, the foliage
is very handsome, but it is extremely
subject to a species of leaf blight
which, beginning in the creamy varie-
CATION, gradually extends over the re-
mainder of the leaf. This trouble at
tacks the plant even under the most
favorable conditions, though it Is natu-
rally intensified by any check to
growth. No doubt it is the result OF
constitutional weakness, of which var
legation is often an evidence. Some
of the large wholesale florists have al,
most given up growing the variegated
rubbsr for commercial purposes, on
account of this trouble.-Rurai New
Yorker.
