The Man From Mexico.

The Man From Mexico.
BroadIhurst Bros production of The
Man from Mexico" aC the opera House
on Friday, SEPTEMBER 14th, will be
hailed with delight by all who witness
ed the performance last season. To
those of our readers who did not see
it, slight story of the play viii not
be amiss. The Man from Mexico" be-
gins sto9 Just the time Of adj
venture when, most French farces
begin TO end. The awful night Of ex-
element. complication and yelled lden-
tity at the questionable house OF en-
tertainment is all over when the curtain
rises on the first act. Benjamin Fitz-
hew has had his night of it, together
with his friend Majors, and Mrs. Fitz-
hew has had hers while vainly trying
to follow them. The chasers and the
chased did not meet and now al would
be serenely over-only Fitzhew was ar
rested, sentenced TO thirty days on
Biackwell's Island with the privilege
of first going TO straighten out mis- af-
fairs. The action commences with
Fitzhew in his own house, under charge
of deputy, doomei TO serve thirty
days and plausibly account for them
to his wife. The end of this compli-
cation and the beginning of the others
is that he leaves home avowedly bound
for the land of Mexico. IN bare plot
the rest of it is thar he goes to jail
and endures a solid month OF conf
cal misunderstanding, and finally comes
l-onre in the costume of 'roreador and
lies to his wife up TO that point where
even his eventual confession of part
of the truth needs large corrobora-
ton.

Tongue Is Curious.

The curiosity of the tongue does not
cause the human being so much trou.
BILE as the curiosity of the eye. But
the tongue within its limits is the most
curious of all. Let the dentist make
a change inthe mouth; let him remove
a tooth or replace with his admirable
artifice one that has long been absent;
let nm change the form OF tooth by
rounding off corner or building up a
cavity, and see what the tongue will
do! 1t will search out that place, TAX
ing careful and minute account of the
change. Then it will linger near the
place. If it is called to other duties
it will come back as soon as they are
discharged and feel the changed place
all over again, as If it had not ex-
plored and rummaged there already.
1t makes no difference that these re-
peated Investigations presently cause
annoyance to it's supposed master, the
man; the tongue is nothing more than
in this affair proves that it is an I'M
ruly member and will not be con-
trolled. 1t seems to have an original
will and consciousness of it's own, and
nothing will serve except the fullest
satisfaction of its curiosity. 1t will
wear itself out, perhaps, but it will
fnu out all about the strange change
