That was a notable ride. In a short
time they began to overtake the
stages, one mired down, another
overturned drid all making slow pro¬

sparking wit of M— was pointed and
produced bursts of laughter and each

their fund of anecdote and it all could

Where now is that remarkable

Our citizens have an intellectual

He is specially fitted for this class of
work, having been a member of the
theatrical profession since child
hood, during which time he has been
connected with some of the principal
theatres of the country, and has ap¬
peared in support of Mary Anderson,
Edwin Booth, Larence Barrett, Lotia,
Maggie Mitch- 11 , in fact all of the
leading dramatic artistes of the
American stage. He has been man¬
ager of theatres in New Orleans, St.
Louis, and Chicago, and Professor of
Elocution and the Dramatic Art in
the Chicago Dramatic and Musical
conservatory the foremost institution
of the kind in the country. This
position he resigned a year ago, to
accept a very lucrative offer from a
prominent dramatic star. As an ac¬
tor he ranks with the best} as dra¬
matic instructor he is considered in¬
ferior to none; as an elocutionist and
reader he is far superior to many
His style is easy, natural, and entire
ly free from affectation ard artificial
ity; his delivery is graceful, his enun
ciation clear and distinct.
All this we gather from tiie piess
notices received by Mr.Berrell during
his 1 ublic career, and it justifies us
in saying that those who desire amuse¬
ment and instruction cannot do bet¬
ter than to jay a visit to the college
on Tuesday evening.
The Sons of the Rich.
We have hundreds of men in this city
whose fathers idiotically provide them
with spending money galore.
What do they do with it?
Well, as a rule, they spend their time
sucking alternately the end of a e%ttr and
the knob of a cane. They wander
vapidly about the streets, looking in at
this theatre or that, play billiards in
cafes and drink themselves into early
graves. Suggest to these New
York dudes a life of athleticism. They
are too retired. Open |up to them life. the
enjoyment possible to a genuine club
Let them see what genuine hospitality
means. Show them how much better it
is to spend an evening with intelligent
men, discussing matters of interest, new
discoveries, new appliances, new forces,
than it is to spend it with a first rate hoy¬
den on a third class spree.
Do you think they would naderstand

Historical Snowslmes.
W. P. Bennett, for many years superin¬
tendent of the teams and stages of Wells,
Fargo & Co., has ust sent east from Vir¬
ginia City, Nev., the Norwegian snow
shoes with which for twenty years he has
traversed the Sierras. They are of white
ash and ten feet long. In 1867 he carried
the company’s express packages across
the mountains and was fifty-two hours in
a snowstorm. When he got back the
Widow Bryant—now Mrs. John W.
Mackay—told him that in twenty years
his snowshoes would be bought as relies.
She was right. Once the shoes rari away
with Mr. Bennett, and he went down the
Kingsbury grade into Lake valley, a dis¬
tance of over two miles, in four minutes.

Chicago is full of dangerously thought¬

“Mamma,” said one of them—a 5-year
old—the other day, “ain’t there any other
senses ’cept seeing, hearing, feeling, tast

“No, my child,” answered the mother;
“it is usually considered a ^ that those five
are “Well,” enough.” '

of deep conviction, “I s’pose talking
