A correspondent of the Savannah News says: I expected to see a. wo— man singularly tall, inexpressibly lean and lithe, dark and dangerous, a Bella-Demonic. But I didn’t. In the first place she is not tall. She isn’t more than five feet, three or four inches. She is not thin. She is curiously plump in places. That is to say, she is not well-made. The up‘ per parts of her arms are plump, the forearm bony and sharp-elbowed. Her lower limbs, ditto. Her waist is per- fectly enormous, her bust is not. Her hands are small, so are her feet, so are her eyes, but the latter are long— “jewel-like, ophidian.” She is neither dark nor dangerous, at first sight. Her hair is a rich, red gold, whether owing to champagne or nature it matters not; it is beautiful. I made this criti- cism of her in “La Tosca.” When I saw her as Cleopatra I only gasped. So did everybody. There is nothing like her. She is more beautiful than Venus, more exquisitely graceful than a dream; her voice is music, her fasci- nation something to make the blood cold. She was Cleopatra's self. There was not a man in the audience who did not feel as if he would have given up his soul and all his salary to be in More Antony’s place.

Frank Maltby, a conductor on the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern railroad, received a telegram dated Buffalo, N. Y , from a woman passen- ger on the way to an Eastern city, to look out for a package containing $12,- 200, which she had lost on a sleeping car on his train. He remembered see- ing a package similar to the one de- scribed, and which he thought con— tained a pair of overshoes wrapped in ‘1 paper, and had played football with it, kicking it under a car-seat. :Upon receipt of the telegram he recovered the package and sent it by express to the owner. whose name he refused to divulge. is continually adding new features to , man who did not resolve to”go home LATEST STAGE JOKES. Gags that are at Present Doing Duty 13.- fore Metropolitan Audiences. ‘ Ezra Kendall at Keith’s, says he went to a. hotel, got into a. row with the clerk, and was thrown down stairs. While he was falling a police- man, attracted by the DOise, asked him what he was doing. “Looking for a. place to stop,” he said. ‘ “I saw an old friend working as a gripman on a cable car," says Ezra. “When he saw me he gave a sudden start." Comedian Barnet lit the Standard. says he gave a condhctor 50 cents, and after waiting some time demanded his change. The conductor pointed to a sign which read: “This car goes through without change.” In “Brian Boru” Richard Carroll has some bright lines. “I’ve had enough to drink to-day,” he says, “but I’ll take one more, in case I should be thirsty tomorrow.” “My face is my fortune," declares Annie Summerville. “Then you have a blessed small in- come,” is Carroll’s ungallant retort. “Getting married is like going around a. corner; you can't tell whom you are likely to meet,” says Miss Summerville. “Then I’ll go over the roof.” In one of his songs Carroll refers to a. man who was so lazy his liver wouldn’t work. “Merit makes a man, but Worth a woman,” sapiently observes Charles Ross in “The Geezer.” “Is this ring valuable?” asks Min- nie French of Charlie Evans in “A Parlor Match.” “I should say it is.

When I got to Philadelphia my feet fell asleep,” is one of Jim Hoey’s jokes at Tony Pastor’s. Henry Clay Barnabee in “Mexico” defines pumpkin pie as “A golden com— bination of summer and sunshine.” Fritz Williams is responsible for this: A ventriloquist out of work, hungry and penniless, entered a restaurant and ordered a dinner. He had with him a. dog which apparently gave an order for steak, much to the surprise of the waiters. the dog kept up a brisk conversation, and the proprietor of the place made an offer to buy the supposed talking canine. A bargain was struck, and $200 was paid the ventriloquist. “Have you sold me?" the dog appeared to ask. “Yes, Jack, for $200.” Then I’ll never say another word,” said the dog sadly, as the trickster departed. A STRANGE POWEB. The Influence a Boy Has Over Vicious An- imals and Wild Birds. It is a curious thing, the power which some human beings have over animals. There is in Lowell, Mass, 2. boy, dlfiering in no respect from his companions, who has this power in a marked degree. Every stray dog or cat in the neighborhood knows him, and loves to be in his company. A vicious horse which the stablemen can with difficulty handle. will stand like a lamb while he harnesses and unharncsses him. The doves fly around him, and in the woods the wild birds apparently regard him as a friend and ally. , The most remarkable exhibition of his power which has long been known and commented on by his friends, was given the other day. A large and vi- cious rat was captured in the stable in one of those traps which permit of easy ingress and no egress. The" men who were looking at the animal were afraid to go near the trap. the animal showed so much te1'ro1, but the boy, when he behold the imprisoned crea- tine, fearlessly put out his finger and stroked its l1ead,the lat manifesting as much pleasure as would a cat or a dog. Several days have passed since then, and the stablemcn are still titre.“1 of their capture, bu he has grown so tame and familiar with the boy as to allow him to take him out and put him in the trap, will come at his whis- tle, and manifests every appearance of joy at his piesence. There seems to be no question but what the boy could t1ain that rat to perform almost any feat within the power of such an ani- mal. , Patent Office Profits. “So far there 'have been nearly 200 patents issued for horseshoes,” ob- served a blacksmith. “Every one of them was supposed to have merit. A large number of them were supposed to be of value for the reason that they could be put on horses by bands or clasps and thus save time and the expense of horseshoers. Six thousand dollars, therefore, has been paid into shoes. “Not one of these inventions was used, and today, as during the past, horses are shod. The only shoe, that can be put on a horse must be nailed on by a blacksmith. There is no royal road to wealth, and there is no way to shoe 9. horse except to nail on the shoe.
