The usual literary exercises of the pupils M the Sncred Hcnrt ncmlcmy nt Pnrk place derived especial significance , tV.lt week , from the presence of the Right Kov. Dr. Murray , bishop of Mnltland , Now South Wales , who hns been for scvcrnl days the guest ot Right Hov. James O'Connor. Do last Monday evening the young ladles tendered his lord- thlp a reception nnd welcome , with which ho Wns highly pleased. At the close of tha literary entertainment , t'n ) distinguished Visitor congratulated the yoking ladles on the attractiveness nnd Interesting character of Ihelr programme. It wus , ns n ninttcrof fftct , no easy subject to handle. No ono of the great nations of clvlllrcd Europe Is less nulled , perhaps , than the chccKcrcd roulm ruled over by the old Hohciistuufous , nud the Inter Hnnsburg dyunsty , yet no country , whether lu its historical nnd iwlltlcnl , or In Us social nnd ethnical features , presents unch n diversified nnd fnseiiinllng field for the student of universal history. Of this sec tion of the great Germanic family some of Iho essays very ubly trcntcds Charlemagne , as the founder of tha real grcntncss of Uer- many , was nmdo the subject of n comprehen sible sketch. The other papers showed where orient nnd accident meet , how Slav nud Magyar , Teuton nnd Czech rubbed ngnlnst each other In this vast conglomerate of ml- prated nations. The essay bearing on the thirty years' wnr gave n condensed history of tlmt event with its fateful consequences In terms so clear nnd just thnt it could not be described by n moro faithful pen. There seems to bo n gront deal of earnest , careful study of music nt Pnrk place which must load rapidly to success. The overture toAubcr's " .Masked Bull" wns quite the personification of poetical motions , nnd imrplst und pianist divided the honors be tween them. The "Good Night to All. " by the junior choir was charmingly sung by fresh young voices. The other vocal pioocs were simple melodies , but most enjoyable. The following is the programme : The Frst Germans Miss Grucnlg A Man of Mark Miss Guthman The Hohenstaufons Miss Stcnhenson The Ago of the Othos Mlw MuHugh The Hapsburgs Miss Bnbcock The Thirty Years' Wnr Miss Shelley Frederic the Grent Miss Lee MUSICAL 1NTE1ILUDKS.

" A New Pnzzlo Which Hns Captured the Entire Country. Four little pigg are sporting in the clover. It will never do. They must be driven into the pen. That la all. 'In the mean time society is distraught. The Chicago Tribune tnua describes the effect in that city of tho-now fa mous "Pig in Clover" puzzle : Dinners grow cold. Young ladies ars not dressed for the theaters. Gentlemen appear with glazed eyes and , as likely as not , without a tie. Business is par- alized. Commercial magnates are locked in their private otllces. Clerks doze over their desks after sleepless nights. Speculation on the board is left to take care of itself. For everybody has at once underta ken to drive those mischievous lltUo pigs from the clover into the pen. The box contains three circular drive ways , with the pen in the center. The openings in the driveways and pen are arranged one opposite the other. These four marbles must be placed in the outer driveway , and the box then manipulated so that the marbles will enter the second driveway , from that pass intotho third , and finally roll into the pen. "Leave it to drovers and the man with curved limbs in the lane , " despairingly cried n haggerd-faced man as ho scat tered the marbles over the Union League club llbrarystampod his patent- leather shoo on the round pastboard box , and staggered toward the cafe. "Deviled crabs , pate do fois gras Marischino I am famished. " But society refuses to leave it alone. And the determination of the business community when it sets its head to do a thing is notorious. So the "Pigs in Glover" puzzle has fastened its fangs on Chicago as if it wore the fabled hydra como from tha lake on laud. Uoen WnlUiiK for Jiluu Chicago Tribune : "Mr. President , " said the White house otliciul , respect fully , "there is a man ouuide who has been hanging around hero three days and insists on seeing you.
