He was so modest he hardly speak above a whisper, carried the hohors he had earned ioua glove contests and such like very meekly indeed. This was his battle with Hoad. When I met Sullivan he had defeated the and w hipped half a dozen or aspirants for fistic fame. He had gone* a startling transformation, ns now the pink of fashion, suave liipper, though somewhat sl&u£y; d nt to kill, and with the inevita- gar at au angle of 45 degrees stuck ion his mobile lips.

There e attempt, notably in the Herald, indulgent to Mrs. Potter as an ao and to point out here and there ns of her personation of the my&l tian which proved the actress. For ice, Mr. Bennetc’s critic says: “8a- rself could rot have fascinated us completely than this Cleopatra as sapped from the royal barge at Al-' ilna gl.ttering with gold a d silver •lad in beauty as with a garment, n the great scenes when sne passes languor to rage and whips Ctesar s anger those who have so often re- shed her with her want of feeling facial expression must have been ished to see ho v quickly :>.nd nat she changed.

Comstock to the performance, jins by saying that Mrs. Potter Inst had her first horn of anything triumph or. the stage since as become an actress, and then nues: “Mrs. Potter astonished her aters and won a distinction that lot soon leave her.

The compauy handle i business for its stock-' holders at rates far below those of the Western Union, and makes a great deal of money. *** “Some ridiculous statements are mide by the oable,” remarked ; n acquaintance who has spent m;.ny ve^rs ebrotd. “I raid in one of yesterday’s p .pore a story about tue deformed h ind and arm of Emperor William. Now, I have seen the emperor ten times—at Ems, Hom- burg, Wiesbaden and other places—and I know that the story that one of his, arms is only a few inches long, but that by means of an ingenious mecin-nism he is < n ibled to move a, fnl- e arm; nd h; nd,' is utterly absurd. His left arm, it is true, is about three inches shorter than the right; but the hand,although smaller than its mate, is not withered, but is as healthy as the right.” If for no other reason, the people of this city should be pleased with the way Mayor Grant begins his official career by stirring up the rapid tr.-n-it problem. He fr. nkly invites citizens having ideas on the subject to step up to the cior hall and give him the benefit of their views. Of course it is not to be supposed that the municipality will go into the busi ness of railro .d building, but it can rei: ject or approve the various schemes pre sented. according to their meri s. I hear that the mayor’s invitation will shortly be responded to by several parties, rep resenting big capita’ists. and that among the other schemes to be pr.tr ented for his consideratio i wi.l be a Broadway “L” and an underground road. • • * I notice that good natured Joseph Howard, Jr., is greatly distressed lo calise there is an apartment house being built near Gramercy park. Joe has a handsome house in Irving place, which explains his disgust. It calls to my mind an editor of my acquaintance who thought that the water question was the burning sensation ot the hour. He lived on the third floor of a house on Murray Hill, and could not get any water for his morning bath un’ess it was carried to his room in pails. and business men have built Pacific. The Princess Dies Debar increases in gorgeousness every day. Her apartments over the plumber shop at 1,264 Broad way, which Lawyer Marsh hired for hi r, have been showily fitted up, and the princess herself makes frenu'-nt trips up and down Bro idway, end always in Lawyer Marsh’s carriage. They" may down Ann O'Delia Diss Debar for a time, but she bobs up with a serenity that would put Olivette's whale to the blush. • • • I understand Manager James C. Duff, whose company is now producing “The Queen's Ma e,” at the Standard theater, and the Messrs. Aronso i, of the Casino, are going to have a big legal fight, with charming Liili n Russell as the bone of contention. Henry Thompson, counsel for Mr. Duff, yesterday obtained an in junction from Jud 'e Dugro, in the supe rior c rart, restraining L Ilian from ap- ; tearing at the Casino. He olaims the i ’air opera singer has violated contract by virtue of which she was to appear as the leading soptono ia operas he might produce up to the close o' the season of 1888-’89 at a weekly salary of $3<)0. She refused to appear in “The Queen's Mate.” Lillian says this was because she was expected to wear tights in one act. This was not in the con' ract, she says. Manager Duff, in his com plaint, says that such costume is only worn for ten minutes, egad that not one of thirty other women ■ in his company, has demurred against it, Cade-G acl.

Dr. Benedict, the Professor of Medi cal J urisprudence in the law department of the University, gave one of his very interesting lectures to the law class last Wednesday morning, which came very near proving disastrous to one of the students. Some boys can stand any thing, and the Doctors* lecture while en joyed by most of them,was too shocking to the delicate sensibilities of the unfor tunate fellow in question. The lecture was at its height, and the Doctor was just waxing warm in the discussion of his subject when his attention was di rected to the pallid expression of the student’s face who occupied a seat on the front bench. Over-come by the Doctors’ graphic eloquence, be suddenly thew bis eyes up to the wall, and was in the act of reeling over, when one or the students caught him by the shoulder. The Doctor, leaping from the platform, laid him upon the bench, and in a few seconds the blood rushing to bis head to stored him to consciousness. HE STOLE A HOUSE.

According to the Atlanta Constitution Col. Evan P. Howell, the heavy editor, is getting ready to go on a hunt in North Georgia, where he expects to capture bar. Col. Howell has invested in a large number of Winchester rifles and one or two Gattling guns, and il there are any bars or dears in the the mountains he will bring them in. Dr. Carver, the great shot, has hit 60, 000 targets in six days at Minneapolis. The information is also vouchsafed that Dr. Carver’s arm is in danger of necrosis requiring amputation. The fact that the 60,000 targets were hit at a cost so dire seems to add bays to Dr. Carver’s chaplet. Yet, if it were profitable week’s work, why not extend the doctor’s glory? It seems the sheriff levied on the guns for a bill of $87. Now, if the doctor had hit 120,000 targets in twelve days, it is reasonable to suppose he would have laid down his life.In this case, his fame might be expected to be immortal, while the sheriff could take the guns and welcome. along the highways he rn cities, and these lines are of etc., being about six thousand road.

A very funny accident happened at a reception where a bright woman, who was out for the first time after a long illness, was. the victim. Just before she left home some one said that she had better put some color on her lips, as they looked perfectly blue. A serpent in the shape or a charming girl volunteered her mixture, one of carmine and glycerine (which, if any is to be used, is most de- sirable), and she carefully painted the invalid’s mouth, putting the most color in the centre, to give it the desired rose bud effect. The newly painted was warned that she could eat or drink any thing cold, but of anything hot she was to beware. Remembering this, she declined going into the supper room, and was the center of a group of men, and having the largest kind of a time, when an imp of darkness, in the form of a footman, came along with a tray on which were cups of coffee and glasses of punch. Without a thought the “ladye faire” took a cup of coffee; she sipped it slowly, and then, horrors of horrors, made bad worse dv wiping her moutli on a tiny napkin which had been given her. She soon saw surprise on the faces of some of the men. One glance at the damask in her hand told her what was the matter, and with providential pres ence of mind she put it up to her lips again, leaned on the man nearest to her, whispered in muffled tones that Bho was ill and must go home. Out of the draw ing room, quickly she got on her wraps, and when she was helped to her carriage the man who had been her stand by could not resist telling her that he was sure she must be ill because her lips had grown so pale. However, the men were good fellows and they never told on her, though she^ swore by every one of the Buddhist gods and all of the Chinese devils that she’d submit to green lips again before she would get in such a fix. —Bab in Philadelphia Times.

Mellonl’a Baling Passion. “I was bora at Parma, and when I got a holiday used to go into the coun try the night before and go to bed early, so as to get up before the dawn. Then I used to steal silently out of the house and run, with bounding heart, till I got to the top of a little hill, where I used to set myself so as to look toward the east” There, he tells us, he used, in the stillness of nature, to wait the rising sun, and feel his atten tion rapt, less with the glorious spec tacle of the morning light itself than with the sense of the mysterious heat which accompanied its beams and brought something more necessary to our life and that of all nature than the light itself. The idea that not only mankind, but nature, would perish though the light continued, if this was divorced from heat, made a profound impres sion, he tells us, on his childish mind. Tie statement that such an idea could enter with dominating force into the mind of a child will perhaps seem im probable to most. It will, however, be comprehensible enough to some here, i nave no doubt.—Professor S. P. Langley in Popular Science Monthly.
