When the new dynamos are added. the plant will have a capacity of 3,000 incandescent and 190 arc lights, Arrangements have been made by which the lighting of the tower and street lights on cloudy nights when the moon fails to appear, in tho future, will bo more satisfactory. chairman of the committee on street has instrocted the eleotrician at the light station 1o turn on the lights whenever they are needed, on nights, when, according to the schedule, they are not called for. The company, however, objects to assuming the responsibility, and it 'is probable that this maiter will be delegated to the captamn of police, who is supposed to be on the stroets &ll night, or to somo other party to be named by the city. All of the city Lights, including both the tower and low lights, will be run on the same schedule. : - The Pullman restaurant, 524 Broadway. i E. H.

If You Went to See a Horse Play Ball, Watch Oui To One of the handsomest of the horses which drag Uncle Sam’s mail about 18 4 big fellow numed st avenue, ny walk, or trot, of horse While Lis actions give token that preciates the honor of working in overnment position for the good of the people, they also indicate that he feels that there s a good deal of drudgery attached to the howor. Tom would probably much prefer to be a ca ey horse for some elderly lady who would not wish her coachman to drive him ovechard, aud in whose employ he would uot have to lic square in full v Yot he has an_honest, open-he ture, is a sensible horse, and, r ing the fact that all oceupations in life have their drawbacks, tries to get us much enjoyment as possible out of his daily routine. 'om is happiest when waiting at the postofice for the load to he put into his wagon. His great superiority over his fellows is then more noticeable than at other times. The moment he has fin- ished his lunch of oats he begins to ask, in a way not easily to be mistaken, for some one to come and play with him. If no one responds, ho taps the tives of the front wheels with nervous raps of his hind feet. This usually brings some of the drivers to the front, They all know that Tom wants 1 play ball. ~ Catching is his favorite pastime when off auty. Ther not a base ball crank in the country who 1 to watch a game more than Tom likes to play as catche A horse catching bull pla ata dis- advantage. A dog’s mouth wasevi~ dently made to enable him to catch any- thing thrown to him. A horse’s wasn’t. Itis apparently a painful effort for a horse to open his mouth more than two or three inches. Tom has practiced Wt his oats in a pub- W of staring peopl until he can got his jaws twice us far art asa horse usually does. The pitcher stands ten or twelve feet away, not in front, but on one side of Catcher Tom. Tom lays his head over sideways, opens his mouth to its widest extent, and when ready—so some of the drivers suy—winks one eye for the pitcher to proceed. If the Lall is thrown with auy degree of accuracy he will get it every time. When he muffs it heis very angry with the pitcher. It took Torn some months to this trick. He is not particular what he catches. Ifitisan apple, or even a banana peel, he stops the game long enough to eat it. If it is a small ball, a wad of paper, or an orange peel, he holds it until the pitcher comes up, being unable with all his genius vo gain proficiency in throwing. The larger the audicnce the more Tom seems to enjoy playing ball. He does not, however, like to have other attractions about to detract from the interest with which he is regarded. The other day when he'was catching in the presence of quite a erowd, ong of a pair of mules standing near picked up a piece of newspiper and began to devour it. The boys at once deserted Tom, and began to hunt around for paper to feed to the mule. Tom refused to catch the ball when the pitcher threw it to him, and, itis said, wouldn’t play again for two daya.

He nearly killed one sailor with an iron bar, but for some unexplained reason noth- ing was done to him wunul. on the return from Apia, when, after he had nearly killed the cook with a billet of wood, the crow went to the cavtain with the demand that O'Brion should be punished.

From the antobiography of Joseph Jeiferson begun in the November Cen- tury the following is tak “Spring- ficld being the capital of Tilinois, it was determined to devote the entive season 1o Lhe entertainment of the members of the legislature, Having made money soveral weeks pravious to our arrival here, the manngement resolved to hire a lot and huild a theater. This sounds like a large undertaking, and perhaps with their means it wa ash step. I fancy thar my father rather shiink trom this bold enterprise, but his senior partner (McKenzie) was made of stern- er stuff,and his energy being quite equal to his ambition the ground was broken and the temple crected. “'T'he building of a theater in those days did not require the amount of cap- ital that it does now.

No attompt was mude ab or namentation; and as it was unpainted the simple line of architecture wpon which it was constructed gave it the appearance of a large dry goods box with a roof.

It was then above a small river, and Prus- sian drums could be heard.

Peasants col- lected, and the mayor of Epineuse took the travelerss to his house. He in- formed them that Montdidier was the best place for taking the railway, and drove them to Tricot, whence a school- master drove them to Montdidier. They arrived at 11 p. m., slept at the Sub-Prefecture, and took the train next morning for Amiens.
