SPp THE PITTSBTJEG- DISPATCH, SUNDAY, MARCH- 13, 1892. 12 -w'ip"srr Bear JplP-llf&waD ffi3WLW-r ? FUTUKE EESIDESCE OF A small maiden named Maria, with a fair quality of countenance and an infinitesimal quantity ot brain, e olTed the other day the following: "I once," said she, "fathered a surprise party on my dearest woman lriend, and she has never been the same to me since. I .on't know -what the matter is; for I thought the affair went off very successfully, though Helen did seem a bit flurried." My dear Maria, if you will silence the fluttering in that littlts head of yours for a minute, we will put our two beads to gether and endeavor to untangle the criss cross, this thusness of your trouble. How, consider, Maria, if you can, how very dis jigreeable and impertinent a liberty a surprise party really is. Besides, remember that surprise parties do not obtain in fashionable circles. Tou may surprise someone you care for by a tokn ot your love, or you may arrange without formal notification some little affair at vour own house and at your own ex pense, but at all hazard, not even omitting your nearest and dearest (cot under your own root), do not surprise anyone with you society. "Why, Maria, I should have it put down on the statute book as a criminal of fence, only to be expiated in the eleotrical chair. Tbe most of us, even after long preparation for the event, are tolerably good sized afflictions as companions, and we're a deal worse when we come in the night like thieves and robbers or an attack of the grip. Moreover, Maria, it's a well known, though odious, fact that people put on their best clothes and their best manners and lay their best tables lor strangers, so that if you present yourself unexpectedly yon may find yourself intruding in an un pleasant scene en famille. But if you can't help it, and some people don't seem to be able to overcome an un holy ache for taking someone by storm, there is only one compromise to be offered, and this is it. Drop a note to the person whose house yon would invade. Give her a list exactly of whom you are bringing with you. Tell her you have arranged with the caterer, the florist. th orchestra, and for the otherincidentai expenses, and then go, Maria; but get dow- on your knees when you come home and ask the Lord to forgive you. Further, Maria, I think you ought to agree to pav a part of the gas bill in that house for the ensuing month. And, even then, Maria, don't be astonished if the last day finds you rated with the goats, lor recollect "Pauline, bv surprises nngels ere now have tmmaskeJ their horns and uncov ered their cloven feet" The young amateurs who occupied a stage in Mrs. Haworth's parlor for a couple of hours or so last winter, much to the pmusement of their friends, have decided to favor that gracious public again. Ac cordingly they will appear early in Baster on the boards of the Pittsburg Club Theater, when they will display in "David Garrick" that same ambitious spirit which actuated them when last season they presented "The Rivals. Mr. Sylvester Harry Scovel will be seen in the title role, and as that young gentleman is crowning himself with laurels in the amateur histrionic field, his impersonation of the famous actor, manager and author will be awaited with interest.

Walter Gbiejlasd, the new Ad jutant General, spent some time in the city last week. He proposes to makejio changes in. the office, for the'preseut at least, which, he says, was well managed by tbe late Adju tant General. General Greenland lias been connected with the Guard for a number of years, and is especially well-fenown in the Second Brizade. He is largely interested in the lumber business In this end of the State, and has been quite successful financially. His appointment during the week was not much of a surprise, as the contest had nar rowed down to himself and Colonel Rutledge, and the lattor had been given to understand that on account of certain reasons which should not have enteied into the matter at all, his candidacy would not be successful. Colonel Butledge takes his defeat with good grace, and was among the first to congratu late his successful opponent. CoMPAinzs A, B C, D.E,and I, of the Eighteenth Begiment were put through the annual spring Inspection last week.
