Cumberland proceeded to the place and
plucked out the pin.
Lady Mandevtlle's teat afforded infinite
amuiement to the company. Mr. Cum
berland correctly interpreted an idea she
had in her mind by taking up a biscuit
and putiing it in Mr. Sykes's mouth. Mr.
Cumberland was next successful in telling
the number of a note thought of by the
Italian ambassador, and locating a pain in
the body of Lord Castlereagh. A curious
hunt In which every one present heartily
joined —after an nnnsmed object in another
part of the house, with Baron Rothschild
nnd the Italian ambassador ossnbjects,
formed the next demonstration. The ob
j“t selected was a portrait of hie Royal
Higbnees the Prince of Weles.
A special teat was the following one,
perfoi med with the Prince of Wales, who
undertook to think of an animat, which
Mr. Cumberland should endeavor to de
scribe. "I am no artist,” said the Prince,
''but I will do my best to think of the way
in which the animal should be drawn/’
Mr. Cumberland thereupon took the Prince
by the hand, and in a few moments drew
upon a piece of paper a rough outline of an
elephant, which, it turned out, was ac’u-
ally the animal thought of. Mr. Cumber
land received the congratulations of all
present at the conclusion of the exhibition.
LULA HURST IN BROOKLYN.

by Pushing Her Around the Stage.
N. Y. World.
For two hoars last night s good-natured
Brooklyn audienco sat in Hsvcrly's Thea
tre and guyed Lula Hurst and her black-
moustached young manager. The youth
at the piano was the only periormer who
was not guyed. Lula looked warm as she
sat robed in a silk dress of immaculate
whiteness. Paul Atkinson tried to make a
funny speech and talked of mysterious
K ower and psychic force and
egan to tell a long pun, wbicli bo
hammered out of shape and then
sat down. Two very old gentlemen, one
of whom was Dr. Adams, a well-known
physician, went upon the stage and were
soon followed by others. Attbeendof the
circle of chairs sat s youth scarcely 10
years old. Ha hod Are in nia eye when be

stepped up to take his inning at the um
brella trick. The little fellow jerked Miss
Hurst all over the stage ana hauled the
umbrella at will and, inspired by applause,
he pushed the wonder back to the wings.
Seeing herself overpowered, Miss Hurst
resorted to one of her dodges and deliber
ately snapped oil the handle, thus destroy
ing the youth's hold.
The most amusing character was a raw-
boned, dark man who wore a pair of what
the hoys called "sluggers” on his cheeks.
He tried to make a speech. "I weigh 188%
pounds.” he said, and I don't under
stand”—
"Perhaps if yon find the other half pound
yon will,” was the uncouth remark that
entailed him.
A young fellow with bis locks of hair
plastered down on his forehead and parted
in the middle took a haud in. The wonder
gazed sympathetically on him,and cries of
"Cashl* ''Cash!" "The next waltz,”
robbed him of his strength. He grabbed
the chair and the wonder in an undertone
said something to him, when a voice from
the corner called oat: "Oh, ain’t it
nice!” Tbe salesman measured his length
like a piece of calico on the floor and left.
During tbe chair act it was plainly visi
ble to those seated in the front rowa that
Miss Hurst breathed bard and held a good
grip on tho chair with the muscle of her
thumb against her palm.
Long Distance Trotting.
Mr. Jcromo Donaldson, of New York,
arrived in Cincinnati last week to get
possession of some horses on which ne
held a claim. Among them was a val
uable pair of handsome bays, said to
trot in less than '1:33, but which are
without a record. While discussing
the merits of the pair with a number
of gentlemen at tbe Grand Hotel, Mr.
Donaldson making comparison with an
other pair owned by one of the gentle
men present, ventured the statement
that no could beat the record claimed
for his friend’s team for long distance
driving. A wager of $100 and a cham
pagne supper for the party was in
stantly inode that Mr. Donaldson’s
horses would not go 30 miles inside ot
two hours and nfte«ti minutes, Mr.
Donaldson to drive and Dr. T. A. Liv
ermore, of Nashville, Tenn., to accom
pany him as judge. The team was or
dered at once, and at 1 o’clock the two
gentlemen started from the hotel en
trance, nothing having been said aa to
the direction or road to bo taken, the
distance to be decided alter tho drive.
Mr. Donaldson, taking advantage of
thisomisssion, drove along tho [ave
nue to Chester Park, and made the
circuit of the track 40 times for 20
Then, allowing ten miles as
the distance to and from the track, the
team was headed for the hotel, arriv
ing there precisely at 5:57, having
made the required 30 miles in 1:57.
Dr. Lircrtnore decided that to the best
of his judgment the horses Imd gone
the 30 miles. The loser ot the bet,
,Col. John K. Strong, of Nashville, im
mediately paid the money and ordered
the wine to be put on ice. There waa
a good laugh at the Colonel’s expense
when he asked where the team was
driven. Mr. Donaldson replied:
"Around the Chester Park track/'

The Walton Neu» is one of the best

ball deserted the gun for tlie rod and
began paying attention to the finny

was a two-loot shark, and noticing the

and a very lively piece of fish meat, the

Home time eince we heard of a gen
tleman in what may be termed a fence
section of Hancock who impounded a
neighbor's horse and demanded $5.00
damages for wounded feelings, etc,
Monev being scarce the matter was
settled by tbe neighbor giving him his
note tor the damages.
Some Jew days afterwards two of tho
gentlemen’s mules strayed to the neigh
bor's place and were likewise impound
ed. The neighbor's feelings were now
wounded to the amount of ten dollars.
Tho neighbor was "for fence.” The
party with the five dollar note came tor
tlie mules and was requested to give up
the note, and deposit his for alike
amount, and take his trespassers. This
he did.
Kscli was wiser now and hy mutual
consent, at the suggestion ot the party
of the first part, it wss agreed to take
care at each other’s stock when stray
ing without charge, law or no law.
Thus what might have caused estrange
ment has strengthened the ties of neigh
borly kindness. Mutual kindness is
worth more than personal aggrandise
ment. The good will of our fallow men
obtained and preserved in honor is .more
than wealth.

We saw a hog on our streets a few
days ago with tlie longest snout we
ever eaw. It occurred from putting
his month in where he had no bnal-
nese—just like people who some times
get flat noses and bunged eyes In tbe
same way. The hog had been trying
to get into an oyster can, and only
succeeded in getting it fastened on hts
WHY SHE WENT to NEWPORT.
Thrllllnaly Told ns a Trnda Secret by
Andromeda to Henrico.
Yonkers Oezette.
"Andromeda f there be snch tidings
i' the air this morn as will thine inter
est fire to fervid fever."
"This likes mine ear, good sir, for
I’ve but just returned from formal
round, and hints my arm of something
like the ’shakes.’"
“This is thy preparation fit, me
maid, for there Is further agitation In
me nows.”
“Give It me, then, that I may break
me Quaker silence with a quake.”
" Have at thee, damosel! Thou know-
est Lucullus Marcia?”
"Hu that is sire to that jade Beatrice,
whose alii freights the Sabbath air
with onion taints?”
"The same, Andromeda!"
"I know him as tlie parent of a witch
whoie garments fit her as doth pod fit
tlie bantling pea."
' "Or as these tidings fit thine car,
mayhap. This same Lucullus Marcia
hath suspension made and weighs his
assets i' the lesser scale."
"Hath what, Henrico? Bara off the
furbiahments of this, thy news, and
give it me in naked Anglo-Saxon.”
"It being yet a stripling bit of news,
thus do I strip it, girl. Lucullus, then,
hath failed 1”
"Failed, sahlit thou? Failed! Oh
that tbe fates had spared me this,
Henrico!"
V’Sparedthee which? Why, thon
bedizened one, this hami*rs not thy
credit nor thy sire's, an’ wherefore
should it grieve thee, then, I pray!"
"Grieve me, thou beetlehead! Dost
thou not weigh tlie outcome of all tills
Her father fails, Beatrice goes to New
port or tlie Branch and drives a dog
cart through the summer-tide! With
difference 'twixt the slim per cent, he
pays and that imposing item which
he owes, she and her sire will a dal
liance make with case and luxury, buy
them new poodles and rare bric-a-brac,
pose them as objects of the world’s
quaint sympathy, and, ere tlie autnmn
wanes, hie them to Kurope for a round
of months, and hitler bring them back
again blazoned srith some new lie in
heraldry!"
"Marry, Andromeda, an' thy srits
are ripe!”
"Would that me father's were as
ripe, Henrico, tor often bath he poised
him on the very verge where failure
would have whelmed ns with its weal,
and then some hint of oldentime in 1
tegrity would win him from't, and like
a dog, he’d hack to work for honor and
the empty fame it brings. O, good me
lord! well is it said that be who helps
himself sets quickest i’ the tide cf
booming fortune!’’
