' " ouR CITY THEATRES... + Oneof the most trashy plays it has been our misfortune te look ‘upon this season is * that presented by Nat Goodwin at Hooley’s. It is called ‘ove at School,” is classed as a inusical absurdity, and aims ta, excite mer riment over the pranks of a young man, who assumes various disguises in order to win EY damsel who is an inmate of a young ladies’ seminary. The idea is worked out in an ex- ceedingly crude way, the dialog is pointless, and, save for the introduction of some “Oli- vette” and “Billee Taylor” music, and the innitations of Mr. Goodwin, the aif ir would be much more painful than itis. Nat Good- win’s comic powers are too good to waste ‘upon suck trash as “Love at_ School.” _ The next attraction at Hooley’s Theatre wiil be “Won at Last.” in which Mr. Steele Mack- aye, the author, will appear. About two years agé this piece was seen ut this theatre, ‘and it then made a favorable impression. He will be supported by Mr. Frank F. Mac kay, My. Mark Pendleton, Mr. Harry Courtaine, Mr. Clinton Hall, Mr. Herbert Archer, Mr. J. B. Curran, Miss Belle Archer, Miss Louise Sylvester, Mrs. Harry Courtaine, Miss Helen Ottolengui, and Miss Marion Uarlee. “The Tutor,” better known as “ Baby.” while its representation has not not been en- tirely satisfactory by the Lingard company at the Grand, has been f: ly patronized. The members of the troupe lack the liveliness and the grace necessary for this kind of comedy. “‘Rooms to Rent” will be the next feature at the Grand. It is described as a comedy- drama, and its fun is said to be spun upon a plot dealing with a Mr. Cleveland, an ex- real-esiate dealer, who has invested his money in a city building and derives his revenues trom the rental of the rooms. Among his tenants upon the _ first floor are Alle. Risvella, a singer and mousic-teacher; Harry “Huccleman, a happy-go-lucky Bohemian; and Albert Raymond, his friend, and an artist. The rooms’ directly over these people are occu- pied by a military man, a variety actor, and aunumber of other characters who become involved in the plot. Messrs. I. N. Beer Mareus Moriarty, Miss Melissa Breslau, Miss Marian Lester, und a number of others will bein the cast. . Virtuous Billee Taylor gives place to “Hazet Kirke” at McVicker’s. A few months ago the piece had a brief and a thost successful run at this house. The original Madison Square cast will be engaged in its Tepresentatiop, which includes Messrs. C. W. Couldock, Eben Plympton, W. G. Fergu- son, Henry Aveling, W. 3B. Cahill, E. 1. See, =, M.

Waverly. Mis policy during his occupancy of this house has been anerratic one. Entering his theatre at any time during the past two years without look- ing at the bill-buards and you wight. have stumbled upon John McCullough scaling the hignts of tragedy, or you might have been greeted with the skylark notes of Gerster, or you might have found Frank Frayne supporting his histrionic dogs, or ‘Tony Pastor, with his‘ opera hat jauntily perehed on three hairs, and his claw-hammer coat showing his Adonis-like form, warbling about “The Babies on Our Block.” He has wound up bis eareer here by calling upon ‘us to admire the robust proportions of Mabel Santley and her troupe, His policy has ‘been with a view of popularizing his theatre, catering to no one , cl: in particular. . lis policy has been successful, from a financial Point of view. Such a policy, however, on artistic grounds is to be deplored. Manager Emmett is doing well with his combinatons, and is making quite as much money as he did at the beginning ‘of his _ present supplementary season. The Academy of Music deserves all the success the public ean give it, for its manager. displays pluck, liberality, and generally judzment.

Special Correspontience of The Chicago Tribune, CammnipcE, Mass., May 12—Though it is more than 2,000. years since Sophocles wrote his sublime tragedies, more than 2,000 years since the Athenian people in the theatre of Dionysias at Athens first applauded them, to tte casual reader, as to the student, they are still beautiful. Among writers either of ancient or modern times he stands alone without anequal. | Unfortunately, in the hurry of modern life we can spend little time on some pur- suits, which, were it otherwise, would prove in every way interesting and elevating, We cannot all be Greek scholars, and much grat- itude is due-to the projectors of the Greek play at Harvard, who have afforded us such 2 fiye opportunity of getting an insight into the manners, life, and art of that country, which has had so strong an influence on the whole world. Doubtless there were many last fall who smiled an inward smile on hearing that a Greek tragedy, such, as the contemporaries pf Socrates, Plato, and Pericles were wont to look upon, was to be given in Cambridge under the auspices of Harvard College. Yet that dim possibility has become a reality, and the financial success of the enterprise was assured, when, on the 4th of April, at the sale of tickets, the first four or five purchasers bought up all the tickets for friends, so that -It was found necessary to arrange for anoth- tr performance for the benefit of the hun- reds of disappointed ones; but, as Prof. Goodwin remarked, this trouble arose from the difficulty of giving in a theatre which will hold but 1,200a play which was origi-’ aally written for an audience of 20,000, for she theatre at. Athens held from 20,000 to 30,000 people. At the festival of Dionysius shey spent two or three days in witnessing play after play, all of wnich were performed is parts of a religious ceremony in honor of he god. The project of performing a Greek play in Tambridge has long been a favorit one with Prof. W. W. Goodwin of Harvard, and the ‘act that the “ Agamemnon” of Heschuylus Fas so successfully given by students at dxtérd, England, last spring, doubtless en- ouraged him to attempt a similar produc-’ fon at Cambridge. Work was begun immediately on the open- agof college. last October. Probably no- shere better than at Cambridge could such u attempt be made; for there is not uly au enthusiastic group of classical in- tructors, a fine body of students from whom » select actors, but the mosteminent Ameri- a1, composer, Prof. J. It. Paine, whose pring Symphony won him such renown pth in Ainerica and Europe, is also Profes- _>r of Music at Harvard, and has composed il the music for the ch oruses, which are an hiportant feature of the whole. Prof. Good- tin and assistant Prof. White- have had the- eneral management and control of all the york. Other gentlemen have had charge of bectal departinents, such as pronunciation, lovements of the chours, ete, The costumes ‘ave all been made under the supervision of THE oF Mr. F. D. Millet, the well-known_war-corr ¢- spondent who wrote from the East. Since last October there have heen rehearsals three or four thues a week, so that it will be seen there has been much Jabor not only for: the protessors, but for the students who willact. The chief part in the, play, @dipus, has been taken by Mr. T. George Riddle, in- structor of elocution at Harvard. Mr. Rid- dle is an accomplished actor, and Boston au- diences have had the privilege of seein him more than once on the stage. Only a few inonths ago he supported Mary Anderson as Claude Melnotte in “The Lady of Lyons. In addition to memorizing his own part of 500 or 600 tines of Greek poetry. he has had much to do in drilling the other actors. All the other characters, except the two little children of G-dipus, are represented by stu- dents who- have been chosen for their classical ability and fine physical appear- ance. The Greek’s permitted no woman to appear on thestage. and so the ieee ot Jocasta is taken by a young man. All that an an- cient Greek had to do in ordering a costume was to give his tailor his “hight and the shape of his foot, His sole gar- ments were a short chiton, or _ tunic, a Hnnation, which was simply ‘a_ree- tangular piece of cloth gracefully draped over the body, sandals, a girdle, and _ceca- sionally ,a little chlamys: worn over the shoulders. These garments as worn in the Greek play are of fine texture, bright colors, and ornamented with more or less embroid- ery: it is an art to wear these costumes gracefully, but, aftermuch study and drilling from Mr, Millet, the young men walk the stage with their linnatia draped about them as easily as if they wore the conventional modern dress, at praise is due Mr. Millet for the interest he has shown in every detail:. by his care he has greatly reduced the expense of the costumes, and he ha Joaned some of the curious fabrics which he brought from the East, which indeed | it would be impossible to obtain here. The costume of the leading characters is exceed- ingly rich, the colors, crimson, yellow, pur- ple, vivid’ green, heavily trimmed with gold passementerie, and decorated with gold or- naments. ‘The minor characters have gar- nents of simpler texture and quieter colors, all are picturesque in the extreme, ‘he play, * GEdipus Tyrannus,” was chosen by the management not only because it is the masterpiece of Sophocles, but because itis unusually rich in effective dramatic sit- uations. This will be seen by a brief s of the story on which the play is founded. Gsdipus was the son ot Laius and .Jocasta, King and Queen of Thebes. Previous to his birth an oracle had foretold to his parents that the son who would be born to them would eventually kill his father, marry his mother, and beget a race of children horri- ble to the gods. Therefore, when (Edipus was born his parents sent a servant to carry the child to Mount Citheron, where he should be exposed till he died. ‘The servant, however, in pity, gave the cnild_to a shep- herd who was in the service of King Poly- bus of Corinth. Polybus, a childless King, adopted CEdipus, who. grew to manhood believing his adopted parents to be in truth his own. At length, however, having his suspicions: aroused by a taunting companion, and failing to ob- tain satisfactory replies from his supposed parents, he went off to consult the Pythian oracle concerning his birth. There again did the god thunder forth the terrible proph- ecy that years before had induced Laius to sacrifice his infant son. Cedipus, hay- ing heard in affright the terrible words, in order to frustrate them went far away from Corinth, where Polyous and Merope dwelt, whom he considered the parents whom the gods said he should injure. But while on his journey, at a lonely crossroad, he met Laius and hisservants, also traveling, and, in aquarrel which ensued, he killed not only Laius but all his attendants save one. After this, ais went on to Thebes (his native city, it will be remembered), and, having suc- ceeded in saving the city from the ravages of the dreadful Sphinx, received asa reward the throne of Thebes, now vacant by thedeath of Laius (his father), and obtained in mar- riage Jocasta (his mother).. Thus was the oracle fulfilled, though Gedipus knew it not. But in the course of years a dreadful plagne falls on ‘Thebes,—the people die by thousands. This is the judgment of the gods ona city which contains within its walls a man who has slain his own father and mar- Tied his own mother. itis at this point that the dipus Ty- rannus” takes up the tragic history of (Edipus. The whole play is devoted to the gradual unwinding of the mysterious veil which enshrouds his fife. He starts out with the strong intention of finding out the guilty one, and imprecates dreadful curses on that man, whoever he may be, who has done the dreadful deed. Ie summons ancient soothsayer, Tricsias, “* whose uni versal thougnt controls all knowledge and all mystery,” and the servant, who alone of the attendants traveling with Laius survived to tell the tale, Utterly unsuspicious at first, Jitu by little it dawns on’ him that he him- self, proud Gedipus, is the dreadful man, till at last he rushes in a frenzy from the stage, to which he returns again with bloody face, for he has put out his own eyes. Jocasta. perceives the awful truth before it comes to CEdipus, and ends her life by hang- ing herself, though this is not done before the audience, since, by a canon of the Gree stage, no bloodshed ‘was allowed upon Eventually Gdipus is exiled from the land, where lately he had ruled as a happy and wise King. ‘The whole play tends to show the strong belief which the Greeks had in the invinciple power of fate, whose decrees no mortal could avert. This is brought out forcibly in the chorus, who constantly echo in highly poetic Janguage the leading ideas of the play. The chorus consists of 2 body of fifteen ‘singers Jed by the coryphzus. and themusie, written for them by Prof. Paine, adds immeasurably to the attractiveness of the play. ‘The music, Prof. Paine’s opus 35, consists of a prelude and six choruses. We really know nothing of ancient Greek music, so no attempt has been made to reproduce it, yet the weird mnelodies which runthrough it all are unique in themselves, and the strong minor harmony. which preyails thrills the audience with its pathos and horror. It was at tirstintended that the play should be performed gratuitously fur the instruc- tion of the students. But as the plan was elaborated, expelses increased, the music alone has cost already $2,500, so that at last the admission was fixed at 32 and $3. All the tickets, however, were at once sold, not to students only, but to the gen- eral public; for the general public has de- veloped an immense interest in it, and the Jeading question in social circles ‘is, “ Are you going to the Greek play?” College graduates are rubbing up their Greek, other people are reading the English version’of the play. Every one is looking forward with deep, interest to the four performances which will be given on the 17th, 19th, 20th, and 2ist of May. “LEA”? M’CULLOUGII IN LONDON. 2 Letters and exchanges from England unite in saying that John McCullough hasat Drury Lane Theatre scored an unqualified popular Success, although of course among the crit- ics there is some slight difference of opinion in regard to his place in art. ‘'o make the hit he seems to have made is no small thine to doin London, particularly at the present time, upon the heels of Booth’s appearance and in the face of Irving’s popularity. He has been received kindly. by not only the public, but the members of his own profes- sion appear. to have aided him in every way to make his hit as pronounced as possible. We give a few extracts from the London pa- pers upon his Virginius, and from them the reader can forin a fair estimate of the spirit of the press: The London Telegraph, in a very lauda- tory criticism, says that Mr. MeCullough cannot cousplain of the cordiality of the greeting that has at once and open-handed been extended to an actor whose fame has been made in America, but whose ancestry, without a doubt, lived and flourished in some &reen corner of old Ireland. When once the tragedian warmed thoroughly to his work, pulled out the stops of his splendid voice, tod the old boards of Drury Lane with a stateliness and a dignity to which this weak and half-hearted uge is unaccustomed, filled the stage with his presence, and suggested to us what the tragedy of another time might have resembled, then the cheers rained down upon him, and the stranger was .made at home, with calls and congratulations again and again Tepeated.”? Speaking of the actor’s performance of ‘ginius, the critic of the Telegraph remark: ‘ If we are to believe statues, coins, pict and all that has been handed down to ‘us froin old Rome, then Mr. McCullough is Roman from his head to his sandals. The well-molded class- ical features, the thick butl neck, the fine torso, the shapely arms and limbs, the ‘massive np- Pearance, and the splendid’ stride—all these things are Roman pure and absolute. Mr. Mc Cullough is as Roman in his look as is Miss Ellen Terry Grecian in her movements. And he ismore than 2 mere picture of a oman; there is nobility and there is grandeur in physique, Style, and stature. It may sound paradoxical when we assert that, with. a yoice of unques- Uonable power and intluence, Mr. McCullough sutfered most from want of voice. Whether it was that he was unaccustomed to the vast aren of Drury Lane, or mistook the traveling power jestic organ, certain it was that only the’ trained aie contd follow the conclusion of his sentences. When the voice sank into whut, in Other theatres, might be a deep and penetrating bass, tho tetor was all but inaudible, ‘There is tremendous strength and there is tune in these Jower notes, but they failed in effect at this par- ticulur theatre. ASill luck would bave it, Mr MeCullough’s method 1s to zet his effects out of dignity and quict. We say ill luck only so faras the effect was concerned. It is a good method, and one opposed to the storming and raving and incoherency to which Viryinius has “been sub- jected. But the more quiet, the more dignified, and the moce subtly sarcastic the actor became the less he succeeded on this particular stage. His finest points were Jost or neelected by the majority. Only his great well-datined and sharp- ly-marked scenes told with full effect upon the audience. The mingled surcasm, rage, and forced quiet of the scene where Virginius hears of his daughter's dunger. ‘0, I'll be pa- den will be so patient!” the curse of Appius Claudius, the thrilimg sneer at his puniness, all these broxd effects told far better thun those delicate lights and shades in the first domestic scene with Virginia, the agony of the murder, or all the varied and Ueautiful points in the mad- ness and strangling of the imprisoned Appius. Mr. MeCutlough toid most when he was of ne- cessity the most theatrical: but there was that in the performance x3 a whole that made maoy wish that the actor bad not been so mucha stranger to the theatre. It Is cagy to sce that Mr. McCullough could bush an audience to . Silence with those deep tones to which the voice go constantly sinks; but they passed away to the baek of the stage, and were lost. Only at titful intervals the actor seemed to master the upathy of his audience; but be was ut his best as an art- ist and a thinker when be made the least effect. ‘The London Times is not quite -so_favor- ably disposed. “Mr. McCullough’s perforin- ance,” it thinks, “was on the whole a pow. erful if not alwavs « pleasing performance. His appearance was manly and_ impressive: his voice, where he did not strain it too far, despite a rather mixed accent, was clear and full; his gestures often singularly natural and striking. lis best scenes were with -his daughter, and after his daughter’s death where his reason has for a time given way. : it was in the longer speeches, the more impassioned passages, that Mr. MceCul- Jough failed, as almost every actor must fail in the days when the art of sveaking is a lost art, Here -his manner became labored, his action sometimes unduly florid nor always appropriate to the text, his speech at times ahnost a song without words aud a song somewhat harsh and unmusical, . . . . But regarding the performance generally, recalling it afterward as a’ whole, it left a sense of power and intelligence not always ve i, highly tutored, and here and there a little too ‘violent, too extravagant for real greatness; but on the whole, weighty and striking.”” * The London Pall Mall Gazette says: Mr. SeCullough’s performance is picturesque, intelligent, und virile. Possessor of a tine phys- ique and a voice of noticeable range and com- puss, the new-comer turns these gifts to splen- did account, and, besides presenting a series of striking pictures, delivers the lines of the tragedy with a solemnity and sonorousness of dicnon that assigns them all possible effect. It detracted from ‘the first performance that the capneity of the houst had not been fully tested, and that some of the speeches intended by Mr. McCullough to be most impressive were barely audible. ‘This drawback, the effect of which was enbanced by the fact that some of the subor- dinate actors were actually unberrd, is likely to disappear when the acoustical properties of tne theatre are understood. In tua expression of passion subdued and self-contained Mr. MeCul- Jough’s chief success ws obtained. His manner of addressing his daughter during the carly scenes, in which no shadow of approaching des- tiny was sensivle, was admirable tn its blending of pleasant banter with affection and content. “As the climax approached there was no indul- gence in violence or rant. It secmed as if tho idea that an action so base as that of Appius Claudius could not be put into execution with- out calling forth some direct intertereuce of the gods could not easily be grasped. When with erusbing certainty the fact that be was power- less to gave his child from dishonor wits borne home to him, there wus still no explosion of rage. Pity for the victim who must die by a father's hands seemed to swallow up all other thought. Not until he held in front of the dis- mayed Appius the smoking knife, and uttered the famous sentence with which 'the play of “ Alfleri” on the same subject practically terminates, and which, according to the deciari- tion of Livy, was the means of destroying the power of the decemviri in Rome. * By this to- nocent blood Ido deyote thee to the infernal xods,”" did be once use with full effect the splen- did voice with which he is endowed. The deliv- ery of these lines stirred deeply the public, as did that of one or two previous speeches, notu- bly of the lines demanding of stppius, who hid objected to the fashion of bis address, what tashion it bebooved a father under stich condi- tions toxdupt. In the scene of madness in the fifth act, Mr. McCullough displayed power enough to win forgiveness for a scene which i3 in fuct an excrescence upon tho play.. The method of the lutest tragedian who bas ap- peared on Drury Lune bourds is not unlike that of Mr. Booth. It isadmirable in many respects, and, though deficient in electricity, its power over an wudience is strong. ‘The Standard, Daily News, the Echo, and most of the weekly papers are highly com- piluenty ‘. In a letier to Manager J. H. Juverly from Mr. William Foote, now in London, received the other day, that gentle- man says: “MeCullotgh bids’ fair to be the greatest success of ay Aterican actor in Europe for years. Me has received the em- phatic approval of. the critival English theatre-going public, many remarking that his success was so established that they re- gret that they cannot have nim in England longer.” A FORTUNE IN A SONG. The Theatre Comique, New York, where Tlarrigan and Hart. have won fame and fort- une, has been closed. The building is to be torn down to make a site for stores. The Sun devotes considerable space to the inter- esting history ot the house. Jt was originally -a Jewish synagog, and was first used for amusement purposes in 1862, by Wood's Minstrels. In 1885 it became Wood's heatre, under the munagement of George Wovud, The minstrel manager hud been Henry Wood. Sensational dramas and burlesques were Bt ly , and the Venture was short and disnstrous. One of the stars of the single season was Charlies M. Burras. who bad nut yet mad fortune as author of “The Black Crook.” An eusuing seascn of variety show, when the name was changed to Wood's Theatre Comique, was also a iuancial failure. As the Thalia Theatr it failed in 1867 with the German drama. J. W. Lingard, the Bowery mauager, tried’ vn riety and drama in it with vad results. The first touch of cood luck came iu 1868, when Lin- gard made hit there with bissketcbes. Lingard became the manuger, though the lessecs were Sandy Spencer and Charles White. The enter- tainments consisted of farces. burlesques, sonz8, dances, and the Lingardsketches. Among these who performed in these things were McKeo John T. Raymond, Joseph K. Emmet, and Georre C. Boniface. The prosperity did not last, and the second season closed disastrous- iy soon after itbegnn. Robert W. Butler was the next: lessee. “He gave 2 regulur variety show, and made a great deal of money, but in 1871 he opened the Union Square Theatre, in conjunction with Sheridan Shook, and lost all. Josh Hart, his successor at the Comique, made afortune, which be also took up town, in 1875, and lost inthe Eagie Theatre. Edward Harri- gan and Tony Hart took possession in 1876, and have, it is said, cleared $200,000, It is tho opinion of theatrical experts that Harrigan & Hart's fortune was made bya single song. They were sone and dance performers in variety shows previous to their venturein man- agement, and bad gained no more popularity than mauy othersin the same line. The Theatre Comique ‘had jost favor during the interval since Josh Hart’s retirement. and it seemed sure that the new firm of young men would fail. The leader of the orchestra was David Braham, the father-m-law of Harrigan. He composed the music of * The Mulligan Guards,” and Harrigan wrote the words. The song was a tremendous hit, as given in character by Harrigan and Hart. 1t depicted the target company of the dow! town wards with a mixture of fidelity and is Ferntion that was irresistible, and for severn! years afterward very few target companies ventured out for fear of ridicule. The song made fame instantly. for the ‘Theatre Comique, and was next year expanded into a rough-and- ready play. “The Mulligan Guard Ball,” which ran a whole season, and hus had several success- ful sequels. MAVERLY’S NEW TITEATRE. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. Cmcaco, May 14.—Let Chicago play-goers rejoice. It is nowa settled fact that. Mr. Naverly will have a new theatre. His prom- ises are to be kept, and Chicago will haye, next fall. a house unequaled in this city, if not in the country, and as near perfect in lines of sight and acousties 2s can be made. In his selection of an architeet Mr. Haverly has been more than fortunate, and has shown good wisdom in not choosing anovice, but in his selection of Mr. Oscar Cobb he will have success, for, as we all know, the man- who has done and does all the originating and designing of the theatres for Mr. Cobb is the only man in the West who understands the true art of designing a house combining good lines of sight, good acoustics, and beauty, and who, we have no doubt, will. be allowed treedom to design -a house for Chi- cago which will be the delight of her people and the envy of outsiders. We cannot say too much to Mr. iaverly for his wise selec- tion, and hope we may have a house which Will give us pleasure to patronize, and thus pay Mr, Waverly for his generosity and wis- dom. L. G.

Barnum has sued the Philadelphia Sun for $100,000 for charging that he had. no in- terest in the present-cirens bearing his name, but Jet out his name-to Bailey and Iutehin= son, In his aflidavit: Barnum states that the contract with his partners runs till 1899, with provision for continuing the show for gen- erations, and that he has set aside a_ special capital fn his will for'that purpose, He pro- ceeds then to “solemnly sw that no traveling show in the world has so much money invested in it, and that he recognizes no rival, ete. Barnum in his old age haswt lost the knack of advertising.

At the beginning of the season of 1ss2 he will be put before the public as a legitimate star. £ On Monday, the 23d inst., Miss Rose Wood as Camille, dgnes, Frou-Frou, and other modern tragic characters will appear at the Grand. Miss Wood two or three years azo played a brief engagement in. this city, and in these rdles she made'a very favorable im- pression. She was then looked upon asa clever, careful, competent actress, who gave promise of ultimately doing even better than. she did then. Since that time Miss Wood. has been nearly constantly associated with Wallack’s Theatre, New York, where she has been generally accepted. She will be well supported. We give the names of some of the people: Ella Wren, Eugenia Blair, Helen Macy, Lewis Morrison, John Lane, Forrest Robinson, Russell Bassett, Stephen Richardson, After the engagement, at the Grand the company will make a brief tour in-the Nortinvest.

Every paper in New York, with probably the exception of the Herald and the Telegram, took 2 very serious view of the faree and sat down squarely upon it. Then Mr. Hill settled quietly down to b ness, lle believed: he had something that would tickle the New-Yorkers for an hour or two, and he proceeded in his usual way to Jet the people know the fact. Rolls of paper were consumed and rivers of printers’ ink flowed, The papers kept on denouncing thes) piece, the audiences kept on increasing, until “standing room,” we ure told, has become the rule. Theatrical managers can_draw a lesson trom this, and, if they have Mr, Lill’s nerve, they can do the same thing. \ Nearly everybody remembers pretty little Baby McDonald, who at different times has appeared at the Theatre Comique. | She is about 14, and small of her- age, but for all that she thought she was old enough and big enongh to get married, and when Baby made up her mind she was not long in find- ing a fellow that was willing to carry her satchel to the show and bear the blushing honor of being called Baby’s husband. ‘The name of the swain was A, M. Lewis, and on Sunday afternoon he and Baby repaired to Justice Powers’ office, and there were ‘mar- ried. ‘The rage and anger of the parent Me- Donalds knew no bounds. Mr. Lewis be- cune fearful that they would steal his bride away, and locked her up for safekeeping. ‘This had no effect on the mother, and she got agreat big zun—and poked it into jaws face, and said, in husky tones, “ Baby or brains!” As he looked he conchided that he could do better without Baby than brains, and he showed her mother the place ot her concealment. ‘The parties at Tast all went.

But still the young, As youth is ever wont, ignored the words Of warning from old age, and roamed abroad, With baskets in their hands, climbing the sides or wel vides Inounts whose generous soil pro- luced The sphery fruit thick-clustering on the bush. With many a shout and gambol passed the morn, a\s"twere that life were but a gala-time, in which no thought of sadness might intrude.
