Walpole, thero stands wluit is uow
known us the Cobh Fanil, but at one
tune this was the home of tho la
mented tragedian, Lawrence Barrett,
and os such it is known for miles around.
The old settlers delight in pointing it
out to visitors. These same people also
lore to speak of tho good old times when
Mr. Barrett came home.
They all speak of tho tragedian us
’’Mr." Barrett.
In an interview with one aged resi
dent of tho locality milch of tile late
Actor's career was learned.
“Why, yes; every one in these parts
remembers the young actor, and also liis
charming wife. It used to be quite a
time when lie returned after a longtonr.
ami it was along the shady lanes and in
pretty nooks in the woods that lie sought
rest and quiet for his overworked brain.
’"But I tell yon it did not take him
long to recuperate. He would have
hardly been here a week la-fore lie
would be wandering off into the woods,
isiok m hand, to study. Come, and 1
will allow yon one of his favorite sjats
where I have known Mr. Barrett to stay
for hours, rehearsing hie part, with
nothing but the birds and squirrels fur
his auditors, so far ns lie knew. But
many is the time that a few of ns neigh-
Ihjis have stolen down to within earshot
of the actor and listened to his words. It
was a great treat for ns all."

Iii answer to the inquiry as to how
Mr. Barrett raine to reside among them
the old gentleman gave quite a chuckle,
and with his faoo wreathed in smiles
said: ’
“Why, bless your heart, be fell in love
with one of our pretty girls. I say one,
because we have always had many in this
district. She was u Mury Mayer, who
lived witli her uncle, John M. Mayer,
who then resided at the old homestead.
“You seo, Mary was n bright, intelli
gent girl, who hud been given an excel

Mayer. He kept a confectioner's store
on Treniont street, Boston, and al
though Mary lived ont here .with her
uncle she frequently visited her parents,
and there liecame acquainted with Mr.
Barrett. They formed a friendship,
which soon ripened into love, and mar
riage was the result.
“After their marriage they made the
farm tlieir home. It was here their
charming daughters were reared and
educated, and I tell yon ‘papa's’ home

for the people of the North End. We

who came in contact with him. He was
generous to a fault, and many are the

“Yes, 1 have nothing but the most
pleasant recollection of Mr. Barrett and
his amiable wife when they lived in
these parts.
"He did for others what few men now
adays would do with more money than
ever he possessed. For years he support*
ed bis mother, hie widowed sister and
family and many people who had no
claim whatever upon him. He always
gave largely to any charity, and at times
going short to do so. I remember his
sister, Miss Barrett, coming to lire at
the farm, bnt she soon followed in the
footsteps of her brother and married Mr.
Tisdale, one of onr townsmen. For the
newly wedded pair he purchased a $5,000
house in Walpole.

A Family of Smiths Do All tha Maim
factorial? Outal.la of Maw York.
The village of Bath-on-the-Hndson,
though its manufacturing interests are
few, can hosst of possessing the cnly
jewsharp 'actory in the United States
outside of New York city. Simple us
the jewsharp is, it requires, r.-. v rtheless.
no little skill in construction.
Tho proprietor of the factory in Bath
is John Smith, and ne has perfected him
self to such an extent that his work is
recognised ns among the best in the
world. The factory is a small building
situatod a short distance off Third street,
and although nnpretentious contains
every facility for the manufacture of
jewsharps.
Twenty years ago, in Englaud, Mr.
Smith began his apprenticeship at the
trade. Hearing from friends in thin
country that here wonld be found a
better market for the sale of Ilia spe
cialty, ho determined to emigrate. Ar
riving in New York he failed to secure
employment, and deciding to start in
business for himself lie went to Troy
and ojiened a factory there. He was
bnt moderately successful in Troy, and
after a short time moved to Bath, built
a factory and is perfectly satisfied with
the location. The Smith jewsharp is
sold principally to firms in New York,
Boston and Chicago. These firms soil
the goods to retailers throughout the
United States.
When the factory is running at its
fullest capacity over two gross a day are
turned out. The busiest time of the
year is that just preceding the holidays.
During this season tile factory employs
five jieople—the proprietor, his two soils
ami two other Englishmen, who liv
near tho factory.
The manufacture of the "harps” is an
interesting process, and hut few people
are aware of the large amount of wor
expended in inakinga jewsharp of good
tone. The frames of t lie- instrument are
not made liy Mr. Smith. Ho bays them
from a foundry. Upon these frames j
bestowed tlie least work; it is In settin =
the steel tongno in the frame and filing
the lower portion of the frame to fit the
tongue that the most, care and skill are
required.
The first work done on a jewsharp (c
to place the frame in n vise, file off the
roughness and taper down the points, sc
that each side presents a sharp edge, be
tween which the tongue is t6 vibrate.
The mo. delicate work then begins. I
piece of steel wire is cut from a coil,
hammered Hat at one end and left round
at the other, and tempered with the
greatest care. Tho flat end is then set
in the arc of the frame, and then the two
ends are carefully pressed and ham
mered until they come as close as pos
sible to tho tongue without touching it.
The round end of the tongue is then
bent in the form of a right angle, the
point is turned over, and tho "harp*
ready to be placed in the hands of ..
finisher. There are seven - sizes aqd four
kinds of finishing—the common, gold
bronze, lacquered and tin plated. The
harp can bo toned to any pitch. To make
the tone high the tongue is made small
and pressed hack toward the frame; to
make the tone lower it is bent forward.
Mr. Smith is not only a good maker of
tbs harp, but can extract quite a little
mnsic from the little instrument. He
can also play two at once, which lie
tunes so that they are in harmony, by-
filing tlie frames.
When business is rushing Mr. Smith's
whole family is pressed into service, and
•itch member excels in his or her particu
lar work. Mr. Smith prophesies that
within a few years the instruments he
makes will' be In more general use than
now. He has once enlarged Ills factory,
and expects to do so again.—Albany

Conversational Equality.
For conversation society must not be
very unequal. By inequality I do not
refer to the doubtful distinction of bank
ing accounts or family trees. Bo far as
these are concerned there is nothing so
democratic ns conversation. Bnt.lt does
demand some approach to,a similarity—
not in opinions; with good temper these
may widely differ—bnt in manners and
taste, and, above all, in intellectual
capacity. When people are brought to
gether without care for these similarities
we know what happens. If their .num
ber be large enough they Invariably split
op, not by cold exclusiveness, but by
natural selection, into- mutually appre
ciative groups, of which each member
bgf some affinity for the rest.
Where thii instinctive distribution is.
through smallness of numbers or. the
fussiness of a host, impossible we may
expect a doll time. All know Bret
