All Year Round gives the following rattling description of the stage and au- dience business in Japan: Free and easiness is the great characteristic of Japanese audiences. During the per formance everyone smokes, eats and drinks; criticisms are very audibly ex- pressed, conversation and chaff are very general, people come in and go out as they like; if the weather be hot, super iiuous raiment is laid aside sans ccremonic i;

 coolies enter with their implements of trade, and reeking with the dust and sweat of the day, much in the same way

 that one may observe peasants slouching into continental cathedrals for few min utes' prayer. On the stage the same non-chalance is apparent, If an actor be not word perfect" the prompter follows him about without the slightest attempt to disguise stage carpenter, wanting a light for his pipe, does not hesitate to crawl in front of one of the actors and take one from the stage candles; men "who are killed" during the play are allowed to make their exit behind a piece of black cloth, boldly brought and held up by boy, and no hitch or acci- dent ever justiies the drawing across of the curtains. Applause takes the form of wild shrieks-most frequently the name of the actor. Dissent and appro- bation are invariably expressed by loud and long-continued chaffing and hoOting.

About s o'clock on Monday evening,

 supervisor Egan, of Franklin. had his attention attracted by roaring noise

 like the coming of heavy railway train.

 There being no railway near Franklin, he iancied that it must be something in the nature of tornado, SO great was the noise. He called his son, who was equally puzzled. While they were spec ulating ds to it's probable cause the sky was suddenly darkened by vast swarm of flying insects. Far as the eye could reach the air was full of them. The swarm was moving in northwesterly direction, the main portion at great height, but stragglers flying within reach, and oc- casionally dropping to the earth. The width of the swarm could nos be esti- mated, it being twilight. No place could be seen above where they were not. Mir. Egan picked up several of the fatigued stragglers from this great army. They are beetles little larger than the potato beetle. Their color is dark brown, with bright spots on the ends of their wings. He says that they are not the Colorado beetle, having a stronger re- semblance to what they call the June bug. The swarm was about twenty minutes in passing over the village of Franklin, and must have contained un- told millions of insects Mir. Egan is of the opinion that unless they changed their course they must have struck the lake shore some where in the neighbor- hood of Bay View.-Ml,oaukee Sentinel.

A French engineer has proposed to establish tramways with granite tracks in lieu of rails in Finisterre. He is of opinion that this system is far preferable to the ordinary railways. There already exists vast network of what are in truth tramways with granite rails, worked by horse traction in northern Italy. In the streets of the principal towns and sometimes on the roads tracks of granite are laid in the highways The surface of these tracks being fiat and perfectly smooth, the wheels of the vehicles glide over them with the least possible friction. The conductor of each vehicle takes care so to guide it that the wheels always remain on the granite. The author of the project maintains that there is nothing to prevent the granite lines from being nsed by carriages driven by steam power, in like manner as though drawn by horses. At the same time, is is not proposed to adopt the train system on granite tracks; each carnage will be provided with its own steam power, will move by itself and be guided by means of a mechanism speci- ally devised TOT the purpose.-PaH lfdll Gdzette.

Howe, the great Tombs lawyer, was supposed to be doing one of the most profitable law businesses in the city. He defended nearly all the rogues in New York, and his fees were supposed to be large; yet he has been adjudged bank. rupt. All the men of this class go under.

Yet every man who has kept that hotel has failed except the present proprietor, who has not been there long enough to give the thing a fair trial.

This class of young men is steadily augmenting in New York. They will not labor in any way. It was enough

 for their fathers to do that. The family estate is large, and are they not entitled

 to share of it? An allowance of three

 to five thousand year is reasonable enough, is it not? They lounge at the clubs, dine at Delmonico's, stroll on

 Fifth avenue, play billiards at the Wind. sor, or some other high-toned establish. ment, drive now and then in the park, occasionally patronize the opera, attend fashionable parties, and make love to Laura and Florence and Rosetta and all the other graces, and at the end ot the year find their allowance all gone, and themselves in debt as much more. As a rule they are not actually dissipated, in the sense of being habitually intemperate, but their wine bills are not small ones by any means; and what they spent for cigars would easily keep small family in moderate comfort. R. H. Macy, the Sixth avenue dry goods merchant. who died in Paris few weeks ago, leaving $500, ,000 to his family, cut off his only son with an allowance of 1000 year, solely because the young man had grown % reckless and incapable of taking care of money that it would have been ruin. ous to himself to give him more. It was for somewhat similar reason that Com. modore Vanderbilt left his second .son $200, 900 out of his immense estate The Nathan boys were also wild and extraya- gant and gave their father good deal of trouble in this way. It would be easy to cite scores of illustrations. but the general fact is sufficient. The ease of Macy has been mentioned.

A duty assigned to the police was to watch all strangers that came into the city, and whittle every suspicious person out of town. This whiting process was peculiar, Some ten or fifteen Mormons would get around the man they wanted to drive away, each with keen ground butcher knife, and piece of soft wood in his hand. They would crowd close up to him and commence whiting, all cut. ting toward him, but no one apparently paying the least attention to the stranger Surrounded and threatened thus, the poor man was compelled to retreat from the town. On his retreat he was sur rounded by whittlers whittling, whit tling, some of them make skittish lunges toward his breast and arms. If he took his escort quietly, very we'll.

About week ago we heard one of
our leading citizens Dragging about his
watch dog. He went ON to say that Nero
was splendid watch dog; that he would
never even growl at child, and at night
he would tear anybody to pieces he
found about the premises.


Amt YOU afraid we asked, sthat. he
will bite you some night when you come

Not a bit of it; he is too intelligent.
He knows my step just as soon as I put
my foot on the gallery. Why, wouldn't
take $500 for that dog. He is the most
reliable dog in San Antonio.

conversation took place, one morning
early we met a policeman leading this
identical dog out into the suburbs.

Because he tackled the Major last
night on his coming home, and bit him

was intelligent; that he knew his step,
