JUDGE JUDGE AND THE PLAY. A misnomer—How can the boy bea musical or any other kind of prodigy when he is hawlf man? | Eh! Lilian Russell says she drinks glycerine and beef tea to improve her voice. Lilian has an oily tongue. Lilian Olcott took the first prize ata western cattle show last week.—It is but proper to remark that Lilian is the name of a cow belonging to one of the Michigan exhibitors, Young Hofmann, whose claim to the title of boss prodigy has been’ further demonstrated by his ability to write on the typewriter in three langu- | -s, has failed signally to pound out the word damn ” fast enough after the bell has rung and he discovers that he has been writing on the same line for ten minntes. It is only the impetuous American youth who can get away with time and the language on such occasions. Talking about prodigies, Mr. J. M. Hill. the good-natured manager of the Union-square theatre, has discovered one in a boy recently en- gaged by him for office work. Mr. Hill put an advertisement in one of the morning papers for boy, and among the answers thereto received the following “Im twelve yearsold and im a orfan. got no father and i haint got_no mother. aboy.

Mr. J. N. Donnelly has started in on a career asan impresario, and thus far has been eminent- ly successful in catering to the public taste in the general quality of his Sunday evening concerts. “Pete” is Edward Harrigan’s best play, and the author's acting in it, especially in the second act, isa genuine poem. The music of the piece is full of fun and sentiment, and the song ** The Old Barn Floor ” is of itself worth a walk of five miles over a corduro to hear. If Mr. Howells ever sees * Pete” he will congratulate himself on having diagnosed Mr. Harrigan’s Dickenism more he imagined. The advertising agency of Mr. S. R. . Bos- ton, has been in existence under one style longer than any othér house in this line in America, Mr Niles having personally conducted it for over twenty-five years, His excellent judgment and business methods have proved of the highest value to his clients, and his engagements hh always been promptly met in full. Such an honorable record deserves remark, and we t pleasure in testifying to the cordial relations existing between this agency and the newspaper | publishers of Americ | Every married woman gets so accustomed to being accused of mislaying any article that her husband cannot immediately put his hands on that she would not be surprised, should the hous - le annihilated by a cyclone, to hear him ask. * What have you donc with it?"—Boston Journal of Education: THE CELEBRATED — | PIANOS ARE AT PRESENT THE MOST POPULAR AND PREFERRED by LEADING ARTISTS WAREROOMS ; 149 151, 153 155 EAST 14TH STREET N.
