As he finishes speaking Mi Columbia

Vik.vma, June 8. A clean swept
street, a compact mass of humanity wait
lug patiently in the blinding white sun
bhine, a loyal advance guard of glitter
ing cavalry, a silence only biekenby the
patter of hoofs, thu jingle of spurs and
the tattle of sabers, then twelve men,
covered w ith geld lace and medals, en
coal black horses with yellow tiimmlngs,
guarding a royal open haionche, iu w hich
sat the beautiful euipress of Austria.
The galloping herbcs gave but a swift
glimpse of the noble nnd patiician face
of the most beautiful queen in the wetld,
ns she sat bowing and smiling te hei
people, who broke out into cheers se loud
that tliu very air pulsated with them aa
the vision of their beloved empress Iu hei
black di cks and yellow Dewers Hashed by.
This oration was icpcated everyday
nnd every hour whenever the lecly
queen inaile her appearance in public
for years, until one day lust April, when
n clese carriage with drawn blinds was
swiftly whirled nwny through quiet
streets te the station en the way te Wies
baden, In it, hidden from public gaze,
sat theshiuuken aud stricken bpecterel
the empress whose beauty and grace
have been a world's marvel, and instead
of the pomp nud glitter of military es
cett sat three stteug keepers, for tin
uufettunate empress of Austiia, who hat
been be unhappy n wife nud be wretched
a mother, is uew hopelessly insane. The
curse of her house has fallen upon hei
just ns it has upon twenty-seven of hei
family without centuiy, and her villa in
Wiesbaden will be guarded by police
and soldiers, just us has been her heuu
in Dornberg oerbiiiee her malady began
te manifest itself.
Seme years age the empress took an
Intense dislike te the royal alacu in
Vienna, which is n gloomy, prison like
place, and whenever it became necessary
te remain here she never slept nt night,
but kept her maids alteut lier the ulielu
night long with biilli.intly lighted rooms,
ns she imagined bhe saw specters.
At Derubeig, nlieut blx or eight miles
fiem here, the palace is surrounded with
beautiful gardens, lawns nud tieesaiul
the situation ehaiining, as It stands upon
n hill overlooking a lovely valley. Al
this delightful place the empress vas np
paientlyas happy ns a child, and could
be seen nny sunny day walkmg or riding
about the nolghbeihood, or playing with
the dogs nud the little children whe
gathered around. Her fuvoiite herst
was n thoroughbred gray, and when bhe
was en her&eback she was a picture of
grace and symmetry, nnd her feats el
horsemanship are world icnewucd.
Frem the time when she came te the
throne, a girl of 10, until sluce the death
of her son, the Archduke liudelph, 6he
has been peeiless in regal beauty nud
adored by her subjects, whose love for
her was the only sunshine of her ex
istence, but her eccentricities have al

The finest nnd largest and In all re
spects the most economically construct
ed edifice erected In Cincinnati last year
(excepting only lhe great chamber of
cemmeice), is the new armory building
of the First regiment Ohie National
Guards. Fer years this crack regiment
of tlie Duckcye stnte has had its home in
an old rookery that could net sustain the
tread of marching feet, and would bare
ly support the stacked arms of tlie regi
ment, se that the drilling squad, com
pany and regimental, has been dene en
ene of the large market squares.
The humble acquiescence of the soldier
boys in their fate, added te their un
daunted persistence, at last touched the
hearts of the legislators, nnd a bill was
passed giving Hamilton county author
ity te issue nnd sell bends te the amount
of $100,000, the proceeds te be expended
by a commission in building aud furnish
ing nu nrmery building upon a let se
cured by the county for that purpose,
upon a 5 per cent, lease, with perpetual

the pasiage of the bill the work has net
been suffered te lag, nnd the building
is new practically finished.
The nrmeiy building covers the entire
let of 171x!l00 feet, fronting en Freeman
nvenne nnd extending thieugh te Den
man street. The building presents soma
new features in armory construction.
Iu the first place, it is the only armory
of Its sire that is a combination of fncili
tieafdr bell." infantry" and artillery, nnd
thoroughly equlpiied with the United
States nrmy i emulation supplies. The
building is fitted te accommodate a full
regiment nnd a battery of artillery of
six guns, and is se arranged ns te give te
each company u libcial sized dressing
room in which each soldier is provided
with a locker for his effects, and also a
large parlor or club room.
In addition te these company accom
modations thore is room for each com
missiened eHlccr and nbuudant comforts
nud conveniences for thu stair and non
commissioned eIllcei'H. There nre nlse
provided beparate elllelal headquarters
for the colonel, major of artillery and all
the administrative elllcers, a large gen
eral parlor, n reception room and a room
that will probably be devoted te features
distinctive of club life.
Frem the headquarters fleer a half
flight of btcps ascends te the leel of the
infantry drill room, which presents the
largest superficial area of nny nrmery
in the United States, unobstructed by
e$t or pillar, nnd cnpable of accommo
dating 21,000 men.
This hall is 155x229 feet, nnd 49
feet from fleer te dome of ceiling. Te
secure this eica it was necessary te ox ex
tend the lial! ever the lattery drill room
hi the basement. In order te de this
and preserve the battery drill room clear
of pillared obstruction throughout its
area of 100x1 10 feet, the projecting por
tion of the infantry drill room is sup
ported by a system of six donble trusses,
resting ui)en piers built from the foun
dation for that exclusive purpose, ami
having no point of contact with the walls
of the building proper. The root of the
drill room is also supported by trusses.
The fleer is double, thu under ceurse be
ing piue laid diagonally; the upper of
hard maple 1 inch thick and 2 inches
wlde.
Frem the headquarters fleer stairs
lead te the basement corridor, extend
ing thieugh the renter of the building
te the buttery diill room. This room is
1001-10 feet, without pillared ebsti no
tion. The fleer U nu expeiitnent iu the
United States, being m.ide of aiuixtuie
of equal parts of hard pan clay and plas
teieis' hair, nnd presents a springy, hard
surface. His the same as used iu Eng
lish armories for cavalry diill. This
room opens en Denman street by four
large doers se adjusted that nil the gum
of the battery can be run out at the same
time.
On the same fleer, and en either side
of the conider, are lavatories aud kitch
en, furnace, guard and stere i coins,
magazine, gymnasia, shops, forges, etc.,
and two looms for bquad drill each 50
xfiOfeet. On the south side theie Is a
rille range 10 feet w ide and 100 yards in
the clear, pieided with steel bhulteis
and all prepejf appliances for target
practice. On the north side theie nre
btables and feeding accommodations for
twenty-six horses.
The front of the building llses 100 feet
fremlhccurbliue.and is surmounted by a
square Neimau tower, iu which me the
looms of the baud of the regiment, and
nUe three line rooms for the janitor.
The facade of the building is built of
bteck brick. This was accomplished
thieugh the self bacrlllcoef E. Cert Will
lams, Esq., one of the commissioners.
The ether commissioners, William Ik
Smith aud Sel l Kineen, devoted their
services without reserve te the project,
nud the result Is that the J'ii'bt regiment
Ohie National Guatds has an armory
worth from UUJ te CO per cent mere than
its actual cost. A quite romarkable
thing for these days of extravagant
rccklcssm-si in public building is that

T1IK DEBUT OF GILBERT.
THE VETERAN ACTOR WHO RE
CENTLY DIED IN BOSTON. '
Bis Parent Designed si tlaslsscs Carcw
for Him, bnt Ills Desire for Tlieatrlesit
Ufa Overcame Their Wishes, and Drss.
matle Art rrellted Thereby.
Few who have neon the principal ao ae ao
ters of the American itage will foil le
remember the veteran Jehn Gilbert,
whose death recently occurred in Bos Bes Bos
eon. Ha was born in Bosten in 1810, nnd
jn the very next house te that in which
he made his first appearance en the stnge
of life another debutante appeared In the
person of a girl baby, te whom was given
the narae of Charlette, her last name
being Cushman.
His parents were easy going people in
geed circumstances, who would -have
abhorred the suspicion even if it had
been entertained that their son would
ever beceme "an ncter." Nevertheless,
as a Iwy in the Bobteti high school, he
was distinguished among his fellows
as a natural born declalmer, nnd was
proudly put ferwurd en all public occa
sions le "speak a piece."
At 14 years of age he was placed In a
dry goods store, where he remained four
years. It was during this period that
his ambition began te develop into a
desire le beceme beinethlng mero than a
inere clerk te n haberdasher, ltemem
bering his triumphs ut school, J10 spent
his leisure hours in the Btudy of new
recitations, and tessesshig a line figure
nnd excellent volce he was gladly wel
comed into the amateur theatrical cir
cles of the city, and acquired consid
erable local reputation for his dramatic
reading.
Yeung Oilbcrt, being stimulated by
these successes, resolved te give free rein
te his inclinations nnd leave the old folks
and beceme an actor. IIe often told the
btery of his first appearance in public.
"Tlie old Tremont theatre," he said,
"was the place in which I was most
anxious te make my first appearance.
The stockholders were the big men of
the town, but they knew precious little
alxmt theatrical matters. Hew te get
their car or reach them in any way was
n puzzling problem. Finally, however,
1 found an acquaintance who knew ene
of the magnates, and te him I went with
my plans. He readily fell in with them,
and a few days later I was overjoyed te
learn that the directors would meet me
en a certain afternoon for the purpose
of listening te seme recitations and de
ciding whether I could appear in a icgu
lar part.
"I was still clerking for my uncle, but
when the time ar
rived 1 niadu
seme excuse te
get away and
hurried te the
theater. Joe Cow Cew
ell, the grand
father of tlie
Bateman sisters,
was the stnge
in a nnger, and
when I entered
he introduced me
JOHN OILDKUT.
te the solemn party who wcre te sit
In judgment. 'Well, sir,' said ene el
them, nfter the formality of presentation,
'what de you think you can de; what
can you playV 'I think I can play JaUet
in Vcnice Preserved, or Sir Edward
Slet-timer in The Iren Chest,' I replied.
"These had been my faverite studies,
and having seen Themas A. Cooper, ena
of the stars of the day, in the parts, I
was fairly familiar with tlie business. I
observed that a smile of Incredulity went
around nt such presumption in n boy,
and it touched my pride; it gave ma
courage, it was just the stimulant I
needed. Cewell gave the cue and I be
gan. Before 1 had spoken many lines I
saw by the change in the manner of the
gentlemen that I had Bcered a point,
and when I had finished there was none
who mero heartily cengi atulatcd me than
old Jeu Cewell. The directors promptly
decided te give me an opportunity te
make a public appearance at any early
day.
"During the next week I seemed te li ve
en air, and the yard stick and.culicees et
the shop belonged te a lower world. The
play book was in my hand from morn
ing until lied time, nnd I rehearsed the
part until the intonation of every sylla
ble was, In my judgment, simply per
fect. At length the important day
arrived, nud as 1 walked out tqien the
btreet after bteakfust the first thing that
met my eyes was the public announce
ment iu big letters that 'A young gentle
man from Bosten' would that evening
make his debut ns Jailer in 'Venice Pre
served. ' There was no mistaking tlie
fact new, if theie was any doubt ubeut
itbefeie. During the morning I man
aged te escape fiem the store and attend
lhe first nnd only rehearsal of the com
pany that had taken place blncc the
piecu was announced. This passed oil
batbifacterily, and then I patiently waited
for the night te come.
"The house was faiily filled, the little
orchestra played the overture, the cur
tain rose, nnd at the pioper moment I
clepped uiKin the btagc. Te say nothing
of the novelty of the experience, the idea
of being the focus of hundredsef ciitieus
eyes, the glai oef lightnudall thostrnnge
Eurreuudiiigs, imagine my surpiise at
seeing my uncle boated in 0110 of the
boxes, anil with nn unmistakable scowl
tiKu Ids face. But it was tee late te re
cede. The die was cast, aud 1 lieguii und
went thieugh the part with nil the fervor
of youthful enthusiasm. When the cur
tain rang down inv fi lends were geed
enough te bay that 1 had done well, and,
us was the custom in theso days, the
manager went ferwaid in place of Hi
ncter te buv a few complimentary words.
He pleased" me by announcing that the
young debutante would muku his second
npiK'.'irance in n few da s.
"Jly rclatUe., especially my mother,
were giently chagrined eer the event,
and fur a long time bhe refused te be
comforted; but -valient pleading carried
the day, nnd it was finally agreed that 1
mlght'follew my own bent and beceme .1
professional actor."
And thus was begun n most notable,
conscient'eus nnd entirely worthy dra
mutiu career.

Professer Bessey calls the attention of
students te the fact that the green Etate
of fruits is iu most cases net a primary
condition; but they are white as a rule.
The greening powers is n development,
quite as much as the reddening or yel
lowing, at a later jveried. Many trts
blossom nud fruit, ns de the elms, in
spring, before thcre are any leaves, and
during this period the great mass of
green fruit bearing tissue fills precisely
the oflke of leaves, nud the whole as
limitation of the tree gees te ripening
the beed. The natural tlme for seed
production is the autumn, aud whatever
of this is dene in bpriug needs the full
ferce of the tree. Se if we speak of
green berries we tdieuld hereafter under
stand that the green is net a negative
state of simple unripeness, but ene stage
in the process of ripening. The signifi
cance of color is 0110 of the most delight
ful problems in nature, being iu no case
simply ornamental.
