THOMAS w. KEENE.

Thomas w. Keene and his company
played Julius Caeser'' recently in North
ern New York town. AT the last moment 1t
was found that the property man had failed
to send up the regular throne chair used
in the senate scene, and an old rustic chair
was hastily procured from the loft of the
theater, and after being covered with drap-
ing was pressed into service. In the midst
OF the scene large wasp's nest was dis
covered attached to the chair, and its In.
habitauts becoming indignant at the dis
turbance they had suffered. began to swarm
| about the stage. seeking revenge upon the
Romans In low neckod and snort-sleevei
dI esses They seemed to be particularly Of
| Tended with Caesar, and it is doubtful II
| Caesars death scene was ever acted with
| more feeling, -four at the moment he was
| being pierced by the conspiiators daggers
| the wasps were most industrious in tueir
| work. In the tent scene where Caesar ap-
pears to Brutus, one might almost doubt its
| being the true Caesar. 1t was the same In
| form, dress, etc, but the face was no
| longer the same. In the last act Brutus
had one eye closed Antony a swollen lip,
| Cassius an enlarged chin, Lucius an In
equality In tho size of his hands, and Oc-
| tavius Caesar nose that would have done
| service as the famous nose OF Bardolf In
Henry W. The tragedy became very
| near becoming a roaring comedy. when Mr.
| Keene, as Cassius, said "Antony. the pcs

your words, they rob the hybla bees and
leave them honeyess,' and Mr.. Hanford.
