Denman 'I'hompson , the veteran act. :
or , was 72 years ol tho' other day , He i
was filling 3n engagement in Doston I
and when he reached the theater that
evening his dressing room furnished
ample ovidenee of the esteem In which
he is held by theatergoers , as well
as members of the profession , Among
the many tributes which he recolved ,
ono of the most strlldng was a mono
ster calH ! , The top of the ea ] < o represented -
sented a rural scene with a miniature ,
cow , pasture , barn 'ard , etc" and
around the edge were 72 candles or
various colors , 1\11' . Thompson was
much affected on entering his dressing -
ing room to see the tributes from hIs' '
friends and admirers , Then his characteristic -
acteristic humor hrol < o forth as he

How Peace Is Brought About.
Nearly ever ' country with an army
anI ] navy Is "spoiling for a fight" till
its gets ono , Then it learns a. 1esson
and talws repose till the 'ounger gen.
eratlon comes on , verd3nt and 1'0-
jectlng the experience of those who
are older , and proeeods to draw
blood. Wo sa ' prayers and sing
hymns and psalms and rejoice over
the repentance of manldnd , "hen
IJeace comes , Dut that peace comes
through no spirit of religion or morality -
ity and is not at heart a promotion of
Uhristlanlty or an ' system of moral
teaching , Peace comes partly because
some country has received a terrible
whipping and the victors are so ex.
hausted and terrified with the con.
flIct that the ' are as glad as the defeated -
feated that it has como to a close.-
