The Ladies' Minstrels.

The entertainment given by "The
South Side Ladies' Minstrels' on Tues
day evening was success beyond the
expectations of the most sanguine. Evil
IDENTIFY the ability of the members of
the troupe was no secret, as a crowded
house attested, and now that their fame
as a combination Is established they
need have no hesitancy in going before
the public on any occasion; indeed they
can wrench the palm from many pro-
fessional companies. OF course, ANA
teur entertainments are generally given
all amount of praise by local papers,
which is deserved more by reason of
the spirit that prompts the participants
than from any extraordinary ability.
But of those taking part in the South
Side Minstrels," it can be candidly said
that their performance was devoid Of
any feature that would cause it to be
pronounced as amateurish Every one
OF the actors and actresses who took
prominent parts did we'll, and it would
ly. Mention might be made of some
who did exceptionally fine work; but
this might seem like deprecating the
others, which could not be justly done.
The dancing was excellent and "the real
live coons" have evidently "been there
before" The name of Miss Lulu Lewis
may be mentioned, as her magnificent
rendition of the song nearest our hearts
just at present-"The Star Spangled
Banner" -appealed most strongly to the
patriotic feelings. The sketch which
concluded the entertainment-"Ra
the Burglar"-was ably enacted. The
show altogether was one that may be
repeated at any time with the assurance
of drawing large crowd. Mrs. Agnes
Hart is to be congratulated on the sue
cess attained under her management.

 Of Strength in Case of War.

New York, April 2O.-The point raised that Spain is bankrupt and is in consequence a weak foe, is not we'll taken. In the event of Spain going to war with this country it will certainly be impossible for her to raise money by the sale of her bonds, as they have already gone down and In the event of hostilities they will probably go down to 25 or less She will therefore naturally abandon ambition to keep up her national credit, and hence interest

Burial or Cremation?

What with Sir Henry Thompson try
ing to prove that earth burial is one OF
the most fruitful sources Of contagious
disease and Sir. +. Seymour Haden ex-
claiming against cremation as direct
incentive to PRISONERS, a poor man does
not know whether it would be better to
20 and bury or burn himself if he
wishes to be of service to his neighborS
BY living he increases the population,
and by dying he is likely TO diminish
1t, and both courses are condemned.
Our sympathies are with Sir Henry,
for he does not get angry. He has made
a long study Of his subject, and his facts
are formidable. Moreover, OPPORTUNITY
comes letter from a country gentle
man rejoicing in the sturdy Saxon name
Of Herewald Wake, complaining that
he has had a very bad outcrop Of an
thrax ON his property, due to the car
cass of diseased COW that was buried
secretly a year before in defiance of the
requirements of the law that quicklime
should be added. Pasteur has proved by
actual experiment in the case of anthrax
that earthworms bring the spores OF the
disease to the surface, where they are
taken in by grazing cattle, so that burial
is no safeguard Pail Mall Gazette.

A Chinese Dinner.

In China, it appears, men generally
eat alone, and in any case it is not re-
spectful for either a wife or a son to sit
and eat in the masters presence.
Though mandarins occasionally give
expensive feeds" in which birds
nests, sharks fins, sea slugs and other
luxuries take prominent part, still IN
their private life they are usually SIM
pie Even viceroy will occasionally
squat ON his heels with plain bowl OF
rice in his hand and shovel it down
with chopsticks like common cody.
The usual course, however, is for the
meal to be served in the library
called from having no books in it-or
other vacant apartment in the private
court. There is never a regular set"
repast-no knives, spoons or forks. No
tablecloth, cruet stand, mustard, pepper,
salt, bread or napkin.
A large bowl of hot rice is set down
on a tea poy, or bookshelf; another
bowl, containing soup or rice water
with perhaps pigeons egg floating in
it, and a couple Of saucers containing
an ounce or two Of pork, sour cabbage,
salt duck, smoked ham, shrimps etc.,
are placed near. The mandarin, placing
a tiny morsel of tasty stuff on the end
Of his tongue to encourage the rice down
and give it zest, proceeds solemnly to
shovel away. Occasionally he may take
a glass or two of wine, or rather rice
spirit always served hot, but half q
dozen Of these would scarcely amount
in bulk to single glass Of sherry. The
meal usually winds up with long pull
at the soup or rice water, and finally
snooze. --Cornhill Magazine.

SUBMARINE CABLES.
Over 1900 Ocean Telegraphs of varioL
Lengths In Existence.

-"~NN~~~~
The submarine cable is now one OF
the leading features in international
communication. At its inception it mot
with failures, commercial and other
wise, but as methods Of construction
and laying improved its earlier risks
were largely averted. 1t now trails
along the mud and sand Of the seas,
bangles its huge loops on submarine
precipices and across their dark chasms
and along the gloomiest caverns Of ev-
cry ocean the silent messages OF COM
merce, friendship, diplomacy and OF
governments make their lightning race
around the plane.
The laying Of the first Atlantic cable
was the initial Of a supreme effort to
unite the family Of nations. TWAS cost
" and in commercial sense up to a
certain date failure, but as a triumph
of engineering science it marked an
epoch in international communication.
Other cables had somewhat of a dismal
beginning, but enterprises did not stop
at disasters, nor did the engineer halt
at what, after all, was but temporary
obstruction. The good work continued
and has reached such massive proper
tions that a navy Of IL telegraph ships
fully equipped and manned is distribut-
ed over the oceans of the world, repre-
senting a gross tonnage Of so, 900.
The manufacture Of cables represents
huge investments of capital and an army
of workers. Great Britain has so far
led in the way of this modern industry
and was for a time as supreme at the
bottom as at the top of the sea. The
honors are now being divided by France,
Italy and Germany. Manufacture is no
longer an exclusive monopoly. New ca
bles will continue to be laid, and as
time, corrosion, accidents, submarine
conyulsions and the Entertainments Of
marine shellfish and monsters cause
breakage and loss the supervision OF re-
pairs will be permanent occupation
both to experts and seamen.

age and number of cables now in use
