I was in a total eclipse. I soon recovered from the shock, however, und began to appreciate the situation. I could see the ornamented pro- scenium of the stage, all but little bit of scroll- work at the top of the arch, and one or two musicians on the flanks of the orchestra; but the stage, the scenery, the delicate convulutions. of the ballet, all that I had come to see and admire, were gone, and in their place was an irregular mass of straw, velvet and feathers, which had once been round, but now had the appearance of having been disturbed with a brick several times, I had just made the above observation and was trying to imagine the other side of the edifice when she began to si herself to take in the effect, and I got a side elevation of the facade; there was a profile of about six inches, with a delightful arrangement of eyes, nose and lips; a six-inch sweep of for- eign and domestic hair, wrought into bewil- dering puffs and floral arches to a hight of about six inches more— a total of 18 inches— but she was a long-headed woman. The total value of the whole affair—excuse me, I mean the hat—was $25. Isettled into my seat with a sigh of resignation, she had paid for her fun, or somebody had, and my 75-cent seat was no- where.—Boston Courier.

We were in the tonsorial establishment of an American citizen of African descent, the other day, when there presently entered another American citizen, likewise of African descent, having with him his little boy. Raising his ra- zor from the face that it had been scarifying, said the barber to his raceman: ‘“ What d'ye want, sah?” ‘I want to hev der chile’s har cut,” was the reply. Said the knight of the lather-brush, decapitating a pimple on the help- less face before him: ‘ We don’t cut cullud folkses har, sah!” As the bewildered man and brother passed out with his boy, the barber continued, confidentially: “ Der fax am dat we's trubbled ter def wid dese brack peoples, Our customers don’t want ter 'sochate wid ’em, and ter tell der truf, dey are disrumgree- able."—Boston Transcrift. exe’ WR POND’S EXTRACT. olest to do kvE® does not profess to do EVERYTHING, but it not only professes to, BUT wiLt, cure all diseases that are_of Ticoooailinietioss and'pabs Lanpomars vasss amag stitutes.
