| Ja Ge ES ss = =a enna PSE eee re Ir half of what the interviews tell us is is true, the conceit of certain members of the profession who have passed a few weeks abroad is almost incredible We gave Clara Louise Kellogg the credit of better taste, atleast, than the Herald would have us believe After telling the reporter how charming it is to see how the American girls hold their own ‘‘ over there,” she goes on to relate how at the Bazaar of the South Kensington embroidery school, Lady Campbell said to her: “Allow me to introduce you to Princess Ch n. The Princess’ is so fond of Americans.” No wonder she was “so much impressed with the simplicity of royalty On another occasion she was talking to a friend, and her conversation ‘‘ was over- heard by two Englishwomen, one of whom turned to the other and exclaimed, ‘ Whata delicious American accent! ly, Clara, a few more such paragraphs se Will lead us ect that you have en taking advertising lessons of John be Rogers, and that you are an apt pupil. | The city has thrown off its mantle of sum- mer dullness, aud the spectacular perform- .nces at The Star and Niblo’s are blazing right merrily. There will doubtless be war among the baldheads over the re- spective meritsof <Sieba,” and “ The Seven Ravens,” but that will only add more inter- est to the two shows, Jarbeau has returned to us from Chicago, and has given us more than we bargained for in the character of Puck in ‘¢ Sieba.” She has gained many pounds in flesh and several years in experience since she first burst upon our gaze as the dainty little //ebe in “ Pinafore.” Her stockings seem to be longer than they used to be and they really fit her quite well. Pauline Hall is at Niblo’s. We have seen her before, in fact we have seen a good deal of her in pieces like ‘ Orpheus and Eury- dic aad other burlesques, but she is a handsome woman and well worth looking at. Then there are other handsome women, loads of them, in both pieces, and the dancing, and the dazzling, and the glittering of the tinsels, to say nothing of bright eyes and shapely limbs are enough to turn tho brains of all the bantling salesmen and grass :vidow- ers that happen to be in this and adjacent cities. Speaking of grass widowers leads us to mention the kindness and thoughtfulness the Kiralfys show to suffering humanity by producing these spectacles early in the sea- son, thereby giving the married men a chance to enjoy the same before the return of their wives from their summer flirtations in the country. The Casino roof is not at all deserted on account of successes elsewhere. The nice littie nooks and the ‘ce cream are attractions that will not fail to draw as long as the warm weather lasts. THE JUDGE. Charles H. Hoyt’s musical comedy, bear- ing the euphonious title of “A Rag Baby, is making the audiences at the Fourteenth Strect Theatre shake with laughter, 1 next Monday Harrigan’s new play ‘‘ Inv gation” will be investigated at the Theatre Comique. Minnie Maddern’s ‘ Caprice have been a most capricious drama. Verily, it were better to have a mill-stone tied about one’s neck, and to be drowned in the depths of the sea of oblivion, than aa produce a new play at the New Park At the Bijou the English opera season has proved surprisingly successful. Without any stars of great importance, the casts have been uniformly good, and the portormuinces of Fra Diavolo, Maritana, ete, have been most enjoyable. Laura Joyce, Digby Bell, Ida Mulle, and Vanoni have returned from the Californian shores, sadder and wiser than they were when they started. Catharine Lewis has purchased the right to produce in English Mme. Theo's new French comic opera “‘ Mme. Boniface. Mr. Joseph Brooks has an engagement | with Lilian Russell, and she is expected to return with her baby and her quasi husband ina few weeks, if she doesn’t change her mind again during the interim. “al IF you DonT SEE \ waar You WANT—|\¢ UJase ror art — | A SIGN FOR THE BLIND. A Distinction Without a Difference. Tn_1880 it was ‘a tariff for revenue only.” In 1884 it is a revenue “for public purposes exclusively.” “Tis strange there should such difference be "Twixt tweedledum and tweedledee, Now, isn’t it? ‘That person must be dum-b who could be dee-ceived by such an idea. What is the difference between Henry Clay Dean and a certain eminent German reformer? One never changed his Shirts, and the other is always changing his politica. Could Mr. Hendricks in the cause of hon- est politics, ever consent to Carl Schurz being one of those liberal Republicans, whom Mr. Cleveland is going to put in to his cabinet? People do not generally present thieves with the property they have already stolen. This will doubtless be Mr. H.’s ideaon the subject. seems to | AR IN LEATHER. Our Bob on Bears. I can’t bear to think of a bear. He is a barbaric beast from the word go. He isn’t a modest animal, but goes about in a bearskin always, My big brother went out hunting bears one day with Sir John Astley, when he was over here, and barely escaped with his life from one bear, But he finally shot the baronet it. He shot a second baron the day following, and would have shot a third barony it didn't show up. The bear is fond of sucking honey and pigs. and such confectionery; but give the barracoon and the barracan of milk, and you'll win his everlasting gratitude (?) if you care about that, When a bear prowls about a farm yard, there’s trouble Vrain in that locality for sucking pigs and things. The voice of the bear is a heavy baritone, and not soothing when he’s ‘‘ bearing” your stock in the barnyard. The bears of nature’s stock are not gre- garious, but the “stock ” ‘ bears” of Wall street are. ‘These bears of the genus homo herd with “bully,” and are more dangerous than those of the genus ursus. Bear off from the ‘bear ’ and ‘ bull” gang. Zoologists say the grizzly and brown bea: are the largest and smallest of the bear fam- ily; but astronomers can show you a greater Bear and Lesser Bear. . This is all I know about bears, and more, too. Ronert, tue Devin. Poor Mr. Beecher, worthy man, we pity him. A few days ago he was made quite sick by the thought that Mr. Cleveland was not the good and pure man he had believed him to be. Several years ago a number of worthy people were made quite sick by the thought that Mr. Beecher himself was not exactly that kind of aman. But we should have supposed that he would have become much sicker at the thought of having to swallow Hendricks whole. That allopathic dose of pure and unadulterated copperhead- ism is enough to turn the stomach of any one but a hide-bound southern Bourbon or a dyed-in-the-wool Northern democrat, and — George William Curtis,
