An Amusing Dramatic Incident.

William B. Wood relates the follow
ing anecdote of Thomas, Abthorpe
Cooper, in his Personal Recolfections
of the Stage;" At a certain perform
ance of Othello in Cincinnati long
years ago Cooper acted the title charac-
ter. The great tragedian's fame had
drawn a large audience of all sorts and
conditions of people, including a coun-
try lass who may be called Peggy for
convenience. 1t was her first visit to
the playhouse, and as she entered
Othello was making his great speech
before the senators and the Duke of
Venice.
Peggy was handed into the stage box
by a gentleman, and her escort, an
awkward country boy, was compelled
to remain in the lobby. IL She stared
about for moment, seemingly discon-
certed at her unusual surroundings.
and then saw that there were several
unoccupied chairs on the stage. This
fact alone might not have led to her
subsequent discontinue, but the peo-
pie on the stage seemed to be more at
ease than those in the house, and as
luck would have it, Othello, looking
apparently directly toward her, ex-
senators half rose, in expectation OF
seeing the gentle Desdemona," but
instead Peggy stepped plump from the
box to the stage, and advanced towards
the expectant Moor.
1t is impossible to give any idea of
the confusion that followed; the audi
ence applauded and cheered the duke
and senator's forgot their dignity; the
girl was ready to sink with consterna-
ton; even Cooper himself could not
help joining in the general mirth. The
uproar lasted for several minutes, I'M
til the gentlemen who had handed Peg.
gy into the box helped her out of her
unpleasant situation. 1t was agreed
by those present that no lady ever
made her debut with more eclat than
Peggy.

Meeting of Congregationallsts.

The Windham conference of Congrega
tional churches held their annual meeting
at West Townshend on Wednesday and
Thursday, September s and 9. The at
tendance was large; most of the II church
es were represented by pastor and dele
gates. The services opened with worship
at ten o'clock. Rev. Smith Norton
preached the sermon, taking for his text
the last clause of Judges 5,23, 'tIo the
help of the Lord against the mighty"
The conference choose Rev. G. o. Day
moderator, and Rev H. Ii. Shaw scribe.
The afternoon session opened with de-
lightful half hour of praise and thanksglv-
ing led by Rev. j. F. Babbitt. Then
came the report from the churches. There
has mingled light and shade in the past
year. All our churches have erjoyed the
regular ministr ations Of the preached word.
In several cases there have BET n accessions
and marked advance in other cases the
removals by death and otherwise have les
sened the roll of members and diminished
the strength of the church. The outlook
is however hopeful. One fact in the history
of our churches is noteworthy. After a
year of difficulty and encouragement may
come year of hope and marked advance.
So it has been in several instances. Earn
est thought was given to our Sabbath
school interest Rev. G. o. Day laid
great emphasis upon Bible instruction in
an impressive address.
At 81 30 o'clock the conference turned
their attention upon the work of missions,
Miss S. E. Clark and Mrs. G. F. Chaplin
happily conducting the services and report
ing the work, of churches. Mrs. H. S.
Caswell and Mrs. Mary E. ID. Norton
made addressts in behalf of home mis-
sions. After pleasant social season about
the well furnished supper tables in the ves-
try, large audience gathered for the
evening services at o'clock. The Sacra-
ment Of the Lords Supper was admins
tered by Revs. Goodhue and Wiswell after
a brief praise service. Three most inspir-
ing addresses were given: Mrs. ii. s.
Caswell in behalf of home missions, Rev.
James H. Roberts for China and Rev. G.
H. Gutterson for the American Missionary
association. Each speaker held and
thrilled and inspired the audience. 1t was
an occasion of rare and blessed power.
Thursday morning at 8 80 the confer
ence resumed its sessions. First came
praise and prayer second, business third.
an earnest and eager discussion of plans
and motives in benevolence; fourth, the
closer fellowship among our churches was
admirably presented by Rev. III. III. Shaw
fifth, the social duties of the church-frst,
in regard to temperance second, in regard
to good government; third, in regard to
practical righteousness. These several

She Knew When to Les1sssQuiet and De.
The judge looked serious and the
judges daughter was properly demure.
Ifsthere is any one who knows when to
look very quiet and demure it is the
judges daughter.
Young Bilkins was here last even
ing" said the judge, and the judges
scowl was something awful to behold
as he said it.
Was he, papa?" asked the judges
daughter.
Was he!" roared the judge. Don't
you know that he was?"
"Oh, of course know that he was"
admitted the judges daughter cheer
fully, but you were making a state
ment and not asking a question, and 1
have often heard you say that in trial
it wasn't policy to admit anything. 1t
is time enough to admit a thing
have heard you say, after the other
side has proved it, l have entered no
denial, you know"
The judge mumbled something about
the new woman being little too smart
at times, but finally waived the point
and suggested that he had personally
seen young Bilkins on the front porch
the previous evening""
Very likely" admitted the judges
daughter calmly. Il am prepared to
concede the fact that he was there, to
that it is unnecessary for you to intro
duce the evidence"
The judge himself admits that no one
can be more provoking than his daugh-
ter is at times. =
Il not only say him there" contin-
ued the judge with some impressive
ness. but I actually saw him kiss
you"
YES" said the judges daughter
pleasantly, George is an awful tease"
"A tease!" cried the judge.
"Oh, he just delights in bothering
"Oh he does, does he?" inquired the
judge sarcastically. well, it so hap
pens that 1 saw you return the kiss"
The judges daughter laughed mer-
rily.
The idea of a man who has devoted
his life to law not knowing any better
than thar, She said. why, 1 wasn't
returning the kiss he gave me. I was
simply replevining the one he had
stolen"
