Some practical jokers among the company

by one of their number in a piece called The

were completely territlcd by the duatenlng ex
plosiou. several ladles being so seriously attorned
that thev had to be carried out of tho house. To
add to the confusion, the police of tho precinct,
thinking from the report that somo terrible
tragedy hud occurred, rushed in at the ditlerent

eventually explained, aud the play proceeded

During the progress of tho Paris Exposition
one of tlii) eido-bhows that attracted tho largest
crowds w as a representation of the decapitated
head, a trick upon the same plan as that 01 me
bphvnx, that t reated so much astonishment in
the Vniied Kates some timo ago, but of which
everybody now knows the secret. In this case
the MU'-scers entered a room that w as sepa

room was a plain table, upon which was a head,
apparently decapitated,' but which, on being in-
icirogaied, would answer all sorts of questions.
One day an i'.nglishman and his sister were
among the spectators. The head, noticing them,
remarked that It spoke English, when they pro
ceeded to ask it several questions. Among
others the lady gravely asked. '-Ilavo von a
soul?" With a twinkle of tllo eves, the answer

In WM the price of bread in Vienna had
risen to its highest, un.l the "rolls" of tho
baktrs decreased in sio day bv day. One day an
actor named Seholz 'appeared St the Carl Thea
tre la a kind of chemisette, which excited geno-
rai iiuaniy, lor instead of being fastened with
the ordinary buttons., a pair of the diminutive
rolls baked at that time were used for tho pur
pose. Sehol. was puuished by tho city autho
rities for his joke. Not loug ago tho city
authorities decided to found a museum of antf
qntties relating to the history of the city, and
called upon the Inhabitants to contribute 'to the
Institution. Ono of the very first objects re
ceived was Schol.'s historical bread-roll shirt
button. A French narant, Dr. Magnen, has just been
trying experiments with guinea pigs to llltistrato
the baneful effects of absinthe. lie adminis
tered to one animal, says a correspondent, four
grammes of strong brandy-i-which Is an ingre
dient of a Freuchmau's deadly drink with the
natural result of making the poor little pig
shamefully inebriated. To another unfortunate
creature of the same species ho gave essence of
absinthe pure and simple, and as a consequence
extreme suffering was produced. "If the doso
be weak," says M. Mnguen, "it causes vertigo;
the animal linngs down its head, evinces sad
ness, and remaiuB motionless. 1 Then a shudder
comes over tho anterior part of the body, gradu
ally followed by starts In the muscles of the
neck. This symptom will by degrees extend to
tho whole of the animal's fore parts; the crea
ture will appear as if under the lnllueuee of
electric shocks; its fore legs are stillly stretched
to support tho body, while tho hind logs arc
slightly bent, ns if to',scek a purchase. A larger
dose Will induce violent nervous fits."
The Impartial, a Spanish journal of Trini
dad, gives the following account of tho state of
affairs in that neighborhood: '-What has passed
in the neighborhood of Trinidad for the past
three months it is impossible to believe without
having seen. ThU place of 14,000 inhabitants
has a battalion of volunteers, a body of boinbe
ros (armed firemen), and a section of cavalry,
and yet it and the country about Is under the
control of a party of incendiaries and assassins,
who are lords of "the soil. Not a man can go to
bathe in the river between the hill La Vigia and
those opposite without exposing himself to be
killed or captured. This pass, which is as
smooth as the palm of the hand aud of no greater
size than two klonietrcs long and one broad,
has been the scene day after day of incendia
rism and assassinations. Commencing at the
shop, situated out towards tho river Canas,
which wo have seen burned, there followed an
attempt to burn the bridge on tho railroad: the
firing of tho estate Abajo, at the far end of tho
pass; of the other bridge on the railroad by
Papoyal; the houses on the couutry estate of his
Excellency Senor Don Justo G. Cantero; and, in
conclusion, the hundred attacks on laborers on
the ditlerent estates situated within this small
radius all committed without interruption or
without anything being done to punish the in
cendiaries and assassins, who only attack the
defenseless and the solitary." Trinidad must be
an uncomfortable city for humdrum people, but
it would be an admirable seminary for young
Fenians.
