JUDGE. 44 A SWEEPING VICTORY. A badly battered mouse lay dead within the dining room. “A sweeping victory !” she said, and mark her valiant broom. KRYS. sourness of aspect and severity of expression, untidiness about the finger-nails and stockings which bag at the ankle with an apparent feel- ing of hopeless distress. All the insects in the world are not worth the dimple in her chin in the eyes of the youth she will presently care for and without whom all the knowledge in the world would be to her little better than a burthen. Her red lips were made for her native vernacular, with a very little bad grammar thrown in, due solely to her impetuosity of speech and her ardent desire to say the most in the fewest possible words and the briefest possible time. Wise ings in sonorous Latin would be an affliction in the place of her merry chaff. Extracts from nearly for- gotten poets and philosophers would be das- tardly to drive out her rippling laughter. Let her be herself as far as she can. Let her be the bouncing, jocund girl, the maid of artless primness of lip, and that appearance of frigid intelligence which sends terror to the heart of the boldes \. “What,” inquired the proud parent of his particular graduate,“ what has my daughter learned (” “ All about the affections of my John, dear father,” was the reply, “and it was a very charming study “But what of Latin and the modern foreign languages ?” “Why,” she said, “there was them. He courted me in English.” Ah yes, girl graduates! the graduating gown's the thing—not the graduating knowl- edge. no use for Ir Is STATED that 10,000 Chicago families are without the bible; but the Chicago people ex- plain this by saying that one is rarely called upon to testify more than a few times during his life and then the court furnishes the neces- sary documents. Ounand off the Stage! Dixey “got there,” but so did thé mob. What with “ Adonis,” Marshall P, Wilder and Mary Anderson’s hat, London is in a vol- canic state of excitement. Sara Bernhardt is learning English and grow- ing shadowy under the intense heat of a South American sun, What is left of her will tour this country in the fall. Henry E. Abbey was the Nanki Poo of Akron, Ohio, in 1872, having held the position and wearied the town as second cornet in a local brass band. Wilson Barrett is becoming an adept in the John Rogers style of advertising. He suc- ceeded in getting himself picturesquely stabbed in the arm by one of the Athenian mob dur- ing a recent performance of ‘Clito,” and has since worked the incident to its full commer cial capacity. After going out into the woods at Deer Park and practising on the name a few times, the | president got so far that he could use the con- ventional adjective in addressing Mrs, Cleve- land without feeling for the door or the set of his coat. There is agreatdeal inathame. Prohibition has knocked out all of Maine’s summer re- sorts excepting Bar Harbo: The seizure of a fishing vessel or two is a matter of little consequ itis the cold treat- ment of Dixey that awakes the state depart- ment to a realization of the canned fruit con- dition of “strainedness” that exists between | the two countries. It is announced that ‘* Mrs. Julia Brutone, a well known influence of the vigorous spanking adminis jtered by the metropolitan press. Francis Wilson has at last adapted those legs to the part, and with Daboll is making a big feature of ‘ Erminie’s” element.... Sydney Rosenfeld has written the best libretto of the year for ‘The Bridal Trap.” The new opera is moving smoothly and gracefully into good business....Richard Mansfield sur- rounds ‘Prince Karl” v so much of his own natural humor and personal attractive- ness that the Madison Square has become the objective point of all the susceptible girlsof the day....Col. McCaull placed ‘*The Crowing Hen” upon such an elaborate “setting” that he has reaped the harvest before the customary period of incubation has elapsed. The “Tin Soldier's” attempt to get up a corner in cash is in a fair way to succeed. The cleverness of construction and remark- able realism of the painting of the “ Battle of Vicksburg,” now on exhibition at Seventlt avenue and Fifth-fifth street, have been the subject of comment in art and newspaper cir- cles for the past week. The illusion pro by this panorama as one stands in what posed to be a confederate redoubt on the out- skirts of the city of Vicksburg, on the‘ morn- ing of the 22d of May, 1863, is really wonder. |ful. Hand-to-hand conflicts at one’s feet, burning buildings, blazing artillery and rea ing horses almost impel the valorous to grab gun and join in, and the timid to level an opera glass and run out. The universal opinion is that there is more enjoyment in viewing a battle from the picturesque confines of Seventh avenue than in being a sanguinary participant, painted or real. American actress (with the accent on the well-known) has arrived in Lon- don ona few weeks’ holiday.” We hope that Mrs. Brutone will cutthe holiday shortand come back and keep up the ac- quaintance. An actress who is so extensively known as she is said to be can’tafford to leave the country even over Sunday. Mr. Brandon Thomas of the Vokes company is an exceedingly loud young Briton. He came to New York with the evident in tention of making himself heard and succeeded admira- bly.
