The impersonation of the scene between Caticline and Cicero in the Roman Senate; the recital of two origina! poems by Lieut. R. E. Toomey ! and the reading of ‘The Sentence’’ ; and Imitations by Prof. J. Thomas Butler were heartily applanded. Mr. Ford Dabney has already reached a high point as a pianist and his playing was highly appreciated. The intro- duction of Miss Blanch Coleman by president Martin was the ‘signal fr rolonged applause, and after she had concluded Loysberg’s ‘La Bala- dine,” extremely difficult piano solo the encore amounted toan ovation as pianist ot the Congressional Lyceum for the seasons.

I would advise any young man whe possesses a good constitution, a few hundred dollarr, and a capacity for hard work, to investigate the possi- bilities of the island in regard tu the cocoa industry. Already there are among us scores of young Americans who own cocoa plantations, and I have yet to learn of an instance in which one has failed to make money.—E. Nel- son Dade,-inSuccess.

An old negro died suddenly Richmond, Va., recently. It was thought he was in poverty little short of what might be termed abject. He had for years been subsisting in the barest way on an income derived from picking the featners off fowls for market. For picking a chicken he would receive two cents; for a duck or turkey, five cents. After the negro in | was dead the people with whom he | lived went through his possessions to learn the value There were found in $300 in money and cert e deposits aggregating $1,000. The ne- gro left a fortune of $1,300 in money, and as far as is known all of it was made by picking feathers from fowls for the table of the whitt man. Changes in Sponge Fishing.
