Monday night cameSand Tom, in a. state of high fever brought on by over? work and anxiety and late hours, walked up and, down outside the theatre, trying to sum up courage to go in.

"No, sir; there's something gone wrong with tho scene in the first act, and the mechanical change wont work through it. "Tm just going out to see if I can find Mr. i-.

It was then five minutes past tho time the cur? tain should have gone up. Everybody was bustling about, and there was evidently something wrong, i 'It's all right," said the stage man ag^,'coming up to Tom and trying to ease his mind.

The perspiration bursts from every pore of Tom's skin. His situation is go? ing wrong. But the house is hushed immediately. There isho fairer audience in the world than that which assembles in a London theatre on the first night. Bnt it Is only a human audience, and so when, as the villain crept in at the window and was just advancing on bis victim, the looking glass, teal, fastened on the scene, came down with a crash, and the victim, following his author, ex? claimed, "No sound disturbs the silence of the night," there was a roar. The situation-was going fast. It went utterly when the villain, disconcerted, as well he might be, in creeping up be? hind the victim's chair, caught his foot against a platform intended to draw the table off for a change'of scene, and fell sprawling, his pistol going off between, his unconscious victim's feet. With the roars of irresistible laughter which followed this final catastrophe ringing in his ears, Tom Johnson rushed from the theatre to the Thames embank? ment. ? . -' ' V , "It is ruin.

This singular compound was discovered by a German chemist, and on account of its remarkable qualities is now used the [.world over. It has the power of reduc? ing the temperature of the body by several degrees, and so is of vast utility in treating fevers and feverish stages of many diseases. It does ite work by de? pressing tho action of the heart, and generally-when employed by physicians it is accompanied with digitalis to neu? tralize its influence in the latter regard. Women use it partly because it Is a seda? tive and partly because it makes the com? plexion beautifully dear and pale by keeping the blood away from the sur? face of tho body. The habit, like all others, grows upon the person who prac? tices It does harm, however, from the fir With women who are weak it increases their weakness; with those hav? ing a predisposition towards heart dis? ease- of any sort it increases the tend? ency to a terrible. extent. Besides these results antipyrin exerts a peculiar in? fluence upon the blood, which is not yet thoroughly understood by the faculty. It seems to undergo some decomposition or breaking down wh n absorbed by the system, developing unknown compounds, which either attack tho blood itself or else powerfully influence tho nerves and ganglia, which control tho vital func? tions.?Richmond Despatch. Tho Judge Had the Call. I heard a good story about the late Judge Grosvenor, of Dunkirk, who was the local attorney for tho Dunkirk and Warren railroad, and at one time had a cow killed by a locomotive of the road. He presented a claim of $25 to the proper officer of the road, who, foUowing the ordinary custom, had it referred to the judge, as attorney, to give an opinion as to the liability of the road. Tho judge had the facts set forth and wrote an elaborate opinion, holding that the road was not liable in the case, as the killing of tho cow occurred by reason of the plaintiff's negligence, and cited numer? ous authorities to sustain his position.. The claim was consequently disallowed, but the judge's bill of ?50 for an opinion "in tho case of Grosvenor against the Dunkirk and Warren railroad" was pre? sented to the proper authorities, and in due time ho received a oheck for that amount.?Albany Argus.

A LITTLE BUTTERCUP. SHE IS QUEEN AMONG THE JACK TARS AJ THE NAVY YARD. Bliss Delia B?bihson, the Yankee Bnmboat - Woman, Who Has All tho Virtues and : None of the Foibles of Gilbert and Sol llvan's Littlo Butteren p. When Messrs. Gilbert and Sullivan first introduced their nautical comic opera of ??Pinafore" to an Am'erfcah public one 'of the most taking characters that aided toward the success of the distinctively English production was that of Little Buttercup. Little Buttercup was represented to be what, among the hardened tars of the queen's navy, la commonly known as a bum boat woman, whose mode of obtain? ing a livelihood is by going aboard the different war vessels and supplying the crews with tobacco or knicknacks o? general use from ? Blo ck carried in a basket or rei&ptacle up?neach arm. . The idea of a lone woman venturing among an army of sailors and blasph'? mous followers of these a to sell her little wares and nth the risk of meeting with ho polite treatment, as the bnmboat woman was pictured, seemed 'quite a novelty for Americans who saw the opera of "Pinafore," Thus, It may come as somewhat or a surprise and an interest? ing point of information to be made known that of late the navy of progres? sive Uncle Sam has not only become identified with a veritable, bumboat woman, bnt with a Little Buttercup whose avocation is that of the identical Buttercup of Messrs. Gilbert and Sulli? van's characterization. HEB PATEONS BESTE CT HEB. The modern bumboat woman who ia now gaining local fame and any number of ready patronizers to her stock in trade, can be seen at present almost any day upon her rounds among the ships of. the United States navy anchored in the navy yard in Brooklyn. She usually appears ahoiit midday with a basket on each arm filled with palatable plea and ca1-.-, and a good supply of, bottled beer anc tem? perance drinks, which she readily dis? poses of among the crew of the war ships, and to all is simply known as "Little Buttercup." It id said 'little ButtercupV' profit easily amounts to five and six dollars a day alone from the sales of her good things among the jolly tars of the war? ship Boston, who number over 850, irre? spective of tho officers. ;:-Erbm Commander Frandto M. Ramsey down to the most ordinary Beaman, "Little Buttercup," instead of being the butt of the ship's crew and target of their unfeeling jokes, AS might be sup? posed) is recognized and looked upon as one of the most worthy of her sex. The income derived from her occupa? tion goes to support her aged mother and -father, who reside in a small house in what is called . Irish town, a quarter mainly inhabited by natives of the Em? erald Isloand lying just on the outside of tho nayy yard. '?Little Buttercup's" real name is Delia Robinson, and her father, who lost one of his legs in the late war, had a small pension granted to him that will barely go to secure him a comfortable subsist? ence. When Delia first went to the navy yard to sell her wares some of tho more hardened members of one of the crews attempted to take liberties with her. They bantered her upon her good looks, attempted to purloin a pie or bottle of beer when her back was turned, and one Jack Tar in particular even ventured to approach% Little Buttercup for the pur* pose of chucking her under tho chin and planting a kiss upon her pretty cheek. This latter effrontery was more than Delia cared to put up with, and dropping her stock in trade she planted a stinging blow between the eyes of the foolhardy sailor that seht him reeling over the deck as if struck by a marlinspike in the hands of' one of his own shipmates. i SHE GIVES THEM CREDIT. From this out "Little 'Buttercup" has never had occasion to expect affront, ill treatment or disrespect at the hands of any of Uncle Sam's tars, whether high or; low, and her coming is as eagerly looked for in the navy yard as the stroke of the bell announcing all hands to din? ner. If any of the Bolton's crew have not the money at hand "Little Butter? cup" is not .thejone-.to refuse them.the pleasure of(mjoymg her .pi^cakes Or beef ontrust. r^e litnnboatwoman re* ? lies upon their honesty and knows that when ce paymaster makes his custom? ary visit her accounts will not be over? looked. In fact,'there are no bills paid by the sailors at the navy yard before those of poor "Little Buttercup." "Little Buttercup," while disposing of her wares among tho marines, sailors and officers at the navy yard, in dress and bearing is strictly tho commonplace appearing bumboat woman of business, with a pleasant smilo for one customer and a friendly greeting for some tar who has returned from a week's furlough, When at homo or* in social circles, the identity of the "Littlo Buttercup" of Uncle Sani's navy is completely lost ia the personality of Miss. Delia Robinson. Instead of the matronly conditioned individual of Messrs. Gilbert&SuUivan's characterization, one beholds a really handsome young miss of 19 years, with classical features, natural blonde hair, a full and strikingly symmetrical and com? pact figure and manners appropriate for a duchess.?New York Journal Pair Faithcr. Having lost his wife when his littlo girl vas but 0 years old, Sandy McPher son married again. His new wife was very kind to Maggie, tho littlo girl, but she ruled Sandy with a rod of iron.

A murder is reported to have been committed some way off Wynaad, in .which a monkey detected the murderers. It appears that a juggler with his wife, a goat and tvo> monkeys were attacked by two Moplahs, who killed all except the male monkey, which escaped, and buried the bodies in the jungle. The male monkey took its station upon a big tree, watched everything and when a constable passed by the animal made after him, laid hold on the man's leg and dragged him to the place where the bodies were buried. The bodies were ex? humed, after which the monkey showed the way to a hut which the murderers had entered. Not finding them, the finimftl took the constable in another di? rection and suddenly ran at full speed and seized a Moplah, who was going to bathe, near a tank, by the neck and waited till the constable arrived. This led to the detection of the murderers, who have been brought to Calicut.? Singapore Free Press. Increase In Real Estate Values. A little over thirty years ago W. H. Tinker offered to exchange ten acres of land between Jackson, Canada, Fifteenth and Grove streets for fifty lots in the town of Superior, which was thon re? joicing in a lordly "boom." Mr. Tinker was very anxious to effect the trade, but the parties who owned the Superior lots, among whom was Gen. Sanborn, thought they had too good a thing and pooh poohed the idea. Mr. Tinker offered the same property to Mr. Richard Marvin for $400, one-fourth cash and the bal? ance on time. Mr. Marvin didn't take kindly to the offer. That ten acres is worth today at least $300,000? TheSu perior lots are- probably not worth fcT,???.

Tho stuffs manufactured out of kanafl can be suc? cessfully dyed in every shade of color, and would compete with any of the ordinary furnishing materials now in use.

Is there any mistake in the count?"?-St, Paul Pioneer Press. round In Pianos; The variety of articles that piano tun? ers find in pianos Is remarkable. It is also extraordinary what a receptacle of lost articles a piano can become in the course of a few months. A tuner was conversing with a Globe-Democrat re? porter recently about some of the singu? lar phases of his calling when he inci? dentally let drop the statement that he found four diamonds in one piano and had recovered a very substantial reward for his discovery from the lady who had employed him. "You can understand the shock given to a ring," he said, "when a lady is playing and brings her fingers down in a crescendo. "If a stone happens to be loose away it goes, and with that rare affinity which valuable things have for getting into strange peaces, it promptly gets between tho keys and works down into the frame? work of the instrument. And little things like gems are not the only ones lost in this way. I have found coins of all sorts or denominations in a loosely set piano, hairpins, ordinary pins, visit? ing cards and the like. "Where there are children around the accumulation becomes greater, for the little rascals have a fashion of stuffing pianos full of every small thing they can get their mischievous little fingers on. Of course the tone of the piano is very much injured by the presence of anything beneath or behind the keys, but very few persons who use the instru ment can distinguish when it is a quar? ter tone out of the way, especially when they are using the piano themselves."? St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Teaching Children to Obey. The father of the best disciplined boy the writer has ever seen says: "I never struck the little fellow, and should hate very much to see any one else strike him. I want him to feel that I am the best friend he has, and yet that he must mind instantly because we are good friends. I think children are nagged at too much, and told not to do too many things. If j they disobey in some trifling thing noth? ing is said, and so they learn disobedi? ence. A child should be made to obey every command, the small and great alike, but should not receive too many orders. One disobedience is. the father of another, and perfect discipline is only obtained by continually insisting on obedience. Once a child knows he must mind be yields readily to authority." Another good authority submits the following: "Teach a child to mind as you would teach him his letters. You don't expect him to learn them all in a minute, but one at a time. Insist on a child obeying you promptly in some one particular until he gets it learned, then take up something else, and so on until, instead of minding once a day as at first, he obeys every injunction."?New York Sun.
