- LIFE: with the Rajah. The Rajah's head should have fallen six months ago. A™ew play, ‘ Duty,” by Henry C. De Mille, is to suc- ceed it. Mr.G. U. Hopkins, whose stage name is Frank Lincoln, made his American debut at the Madison Club Theatre recently. He is a most versatile and clever mimic, and kept a highly in- telligent audience in hysterics fortwo hours. He will, I think, be asuccess, He is an American, but has hitherto only appeared abroad. H. G. C. ‘““LE ROMAN DE LA ROSE.” \ HITE roses full in beauty blow; Let us enjoy them ere they go, With petals floating pale to die, Woed by the south wind’s melody. Sweeter when fluttering to their doom Than in the glory of their bloom, Life's fairest roses die for this : The whisper of inconstant bliss. E ‘THE latest publications of Mr. O'Donovan Rossa are of such an incendiary character that the printer was obliged to employ a fireproof-reader.

A STOCKHOLDER in a Western narrow-gauge railroad made a call at headquarters, the other day, and remarked to the president, ‘I notice that the gross receipts for October show a decrease over September.” “Yes, sir.” “Can you explain the matter?” ‘Certainly, sir. In September we carried a family of seven persons from Dashville to Blanktown, and the receipts were swelled. During October we only got hold of a blind man, two cars of lumber and a dozen barrels of salt, and the receipts shrunk.” ‘‘ And what is the outlook ?” “ Splen- did, sir. So far this month we have more than paid for the wi and oil for the locomotive, and if we get a shipment of six hogs, as prom- ised us yesterday, I believe we can pay the conductor at least five per cent. of his back’ salary."— Wall Street News.
