SOME FAMOUS BENEFITS.
Th* On* For Grimaldi, In 1828, Long
Remained a Record.
It was as far back as 1068, according
to Samuel Pepys, that one Knlpp came
to him about the “woman’s day” at
the playhouse, which he was expected
to patronize in order to increase the
profits.
Perhaps the first organized benefit
for a particular favorite, however, wns
that given to Mrs. Barry in 1687. On
such occasions it wns customary to
charge for admission to the stage,
which in consequence often became so
thronged that when a player to whom
the distinction wns accorded had to
make his appearance before the foot
lights to take up his part in the piece
it had not Infrequently to be stopped
for several minutes while the attend
ants forced a passage for the unfor
tunate actor through the throng of his
admirers.
Thus on the occasion of Quin's ben
efit at Covent Garden, in 1753, the old
actor, who was incumbered with the
heavy dress of Falstaff, was several
minutes before he could pass on to the
stage on account of the crowds that
were assembled in the wings.
Perhaps one of the saddest of the
many benefits which have been cole
brated at Drury Bane was that given
on June 27, 1828, for Grimaldi, the
greatest clown the stage has known,
when the heartbroken old man was
wheeled on to the stage hi an arm
chair and hopelessly broke down in
his endeavor to sing his once famous
ditty, "Hot Codllns.” The old man’s
memory had completely forsaken him.
On that occasion a sum of £1,700 was
realized, which for many years remain
ed a record.—St. James’ Gazette.
A YANKEE RETORT.
Information For a Seaman on an Eng
lish Man-of-war.
Just after the war of 1778 an Amer
ican frigate visited England. Her
crew of gallant tars had been princi
pally recruited from the fisheries, and
some of them, it is to be acknowledged,
did not compare favorably in appear
ance with the spick and span, Jaunty
English naval seamen, for the former
were of all shapes and sizes, from the
tall, round shouldered, long armed
Cape Coder down to the short, wiry
members of the ship’s company who
hailed from various parts farther
south.
One day the captain of the American
ship paid a visit to the commander of
a British man-o’-war at anchor in the
same harbor. The cockswain of the gig
was a great, lanky seaman, whose
backbone was so rounded as to form a
veritable lump. While the boat rested
at the gangway of the visited vessel
the English sailors gathered in the
open ports and “took stock” in a rather
disdainful fashion of the occupants of
the gig. At last the seaman of the
man-o’-war called down to the cock
swain:
“ ’Elio, there, Yankee! I say, what’s
that bloomin’ ’ump you have on your
back?”
The American sailor looked up and
called back quick ns a shot, “That’s
Bunker Hill!”—Los Angeles Times.
Tampering With the Truth.
A schoolteacher trying to explain to
his class the meaning of the word
“conceited” said:
“Suppose I would go around saying,
‘Look how good I am to my class,’ or
bragging about how much I know or
how good looking I am—what would
you say I was?”
“A liar,” Instantly responded his
class—Judge’s Library.
Not a Mourning Suit.
Brown—I just met White a few min
utes ago on his way downtown to re
cover his son’s body. Green—You don’t
tell me! Was his son drowned?
Brown—Oh, no. But his father said
he needed a new suit of clothes.
Some people are going to be mighty
surprised when they find out that there
Is a difference between real goodness
and a receipt for pew rent—Florida

EMPRESS EUGENIE.
Her Dramatio Descent Upon the Cabl*
net Council.
In Frederic Ix>'lee's “Women of the
Second Empire” the author tells a sen
sational story of Empress Eugenie of
France. It concerns ft pressing polit
ical matter, ono of church and state.
Because the empress felt strongly on
It the emperor feared lest she should
endeavor to Influence the deliberations
of the cabinet council by appearing In
person. Accordingly be gave orders
that the meeting should be kept secret
from her. M. Lollee says: “But the
matter so carefully concealed was al
ready known to her, and, acting on the
first impulse of her fiery Spanish tem
perament, boiling over with anger, she
flow rather than walked to the oouncll
chamber. A sentry had been placed at
the door with orders to allow no ono
to pass. Ho opposed the entrance of
the Impetuous sovereign.
“‘I wish to enter. Stand back!* sho
cried angrily. Finding himself In a
horrible quandary between the orders
he had received and his fear of hurting
his empress, the guardsman, between
his gallantry to her sex and ills fidelity
to the word of command, fell at the
feet of Eugenio with Ills bayonet laid
across the doorway.
“ ‘Your majesty,’ he said, ‘no one
may pass, by order of the .emperor.’
“ ‘We shall see,’ replied Eugenie, and
without more ado she leaped over <ho
sentry’s bayonet, burst open the door
and entered the council chamber with
the violence of a whirlwind. The em
peror was presiding, grave and Imper
turbable, he alone having his head cov
ered In the presence of his respectful
and attentive ministers.
"But the sovereign failed to Impose
respect on his angry wife, who saw
In him only the man and the husband.
Going straight up to him, with a hack
handed blow she knocked off his hat,
then, without a word, withdrew as she
had entered, leaving the ministers
dumb with surprise and consterna
tion”
SILVER WEDDINGS.
They Had Thair Origin In the Reign
of Hugues Capet.
The fashion of silver weddings dates
back to the reign of Hugues Capet,
king of France In 087.
Once as Hugues was arranging his
uncle’s affairs ho found on one of the
estates a servant who had grown gray
In the service of his relative. He had
been such a friend of his master that
he was almost looked upon as one of
the family.
On the farm with this old man was
also a serving woman who was ns old i
as he and also unmarried and who had
been the most devoted and hardwork
ing of the women servants of the king’s
uncle. When the king heard these
praises of the two, he ordered them to
be brought before him and said to the
woman:
"Your service Is great groater than
this man's, whose services were great
enough, for the woman always finds
work and obedience harder than a
man, and therefore I will give you a
reward. At your age I know of none
better than a dowry and a husband.
The dowry is here—this farm from this
time forfh belongs to you. If this man
who has worked with you five and
twenty years Is willing to marry you,
then the husband Is ready.”
‘‘Your majesty,” stuttered the old
peasant confusedly, "how is It possible
that wo should marry, having already
silver hall’s?”
"Then It shall be a silver wedding,”
answered the king, "and here I give
you a wedding ring,” drawing a costly
ring from his finger and placing tl?e
bands of the thankful old people to
gether.
This soon became known all over
Erance and raised such enthusiasm
that It became a fashion after a twen
ty-five years' marriage to celebrate a
silver wedding.
A Voyage of Death.
In the Sen of Okhotsk the salmon nre
suicidal and one of the most startling
examples of the spendthrift side of
nature may be found In the rivers
that run Into this sea. When six years
old the salmon begin ft voyage of
death. Ascending the river of their In
fancy they race In countless thousands
upstream until lack of food and lack
of elbow room kill them off. A recent
traveler declares that however many
millions of salmon may run up the
river, not one ever reaches the sea
again alive. What becomes of the
rivers of dead salmon? The seagulls
wheel down upon the scene and feast
upon their eyes, scorning anything less
dainty. Bears, wolves, foxes and
sledge dogs are mado comfortable for
the year.

Mr. Fastset (with extra!—Sensa

think of that? Young Galey has run

Fastset—Oh, I don’t know. There are
Just as pretty stenographers In the em
