The piau adopted for the performances is where two apartments are connected by folding doors, for when the doors are thrown bacathe screen has simply to be fitted to the opening; however, as this advantage is not always available, a little management is required to prevent the light from shewing over, and at the sides of the screen. This can be easily done by stretching a line across the room, close to the ceding, and handing thereon carpets, or any other piece of opaque drapery. The screen is a square of muslin or calico strained on a common wooden frame by means of tacKS. The cloth must be drawn tight and smooth, as the least wrinkle or bagging will quite spoil the effect of the representation. To get it started the best way Is to begin is by fastening the corners, and then putting a taek in the center of each of the four sides. If it is done in any other manner it will be certain to bag. The material for the screen may either be a sheet, which having been immersed ia water, is wrung out and tacked on a frame, or a few yard- of the cheapest calico got for the purpose. The former is open to manv objections. Ladies in general object to having their house-linen torn ‘.nd iron molded by nails; besides which there is the trouble aud delay of putting it on the frame, to which It could not be properly attached before the sheet would dry. Chi the other'hand, by having the screen “en perm-me nee" these drawbacks are »b---viated. and the calico would cost considerable less than the sheet. In preparing a permanent screen, after it has been strained, the following method will be found to answer best. Toeoat the calico with linseed oil. lay it on with a painting brush until it is s> mi-transparent; or should it be desired to be very white, virgin wax disso 1 red in spirits of turpentine may be u- d,

Th light—This is managed by having a small tin ''tip made about the size ora breaks :st cup, in the bottom of th inside <>f which apiece of twisted wire should be soddered, to hold some cotton t -serve as a wick; around this there is to be put some tallow, that cut from candles is best, any othei kindot waste fat is often impregnated with salt, which causes the wick to spit and splutter. T.ie fat should be pressed down close all around, leaving about a quarter of aj, inch or so of the cotton sticking up. On lighting this it will burn on, melting the tallow unlil it becomes a seaol I'mo-t boiling grease. The cup should be placed in an earthenware pan or bowl, which latter ought to be fiilled to ti.e top with sand, ou or in which the cup should be placed. This is a very necessary precaution, as should the lamp by any chance be overturned, the hot grease would be absorlted by i te sand. The performance —Having arranged all these preliminaries, viz., the screen tightly strained and fitted in its place, and the lamp prepared and lighted, the pantomime may commence. The light being laid on the floor about four or five feet from the center of the screen, the au iitorium is of course left in complete darkness, as otherwise the shadows thrown by the actors on the screen would not be evident. Should any lady or gentleman be so obliging as to play a few lively airs on the piano as an overture, it will add greatly to the effect. Ail those not actually engaged in the performance, but who are behind the screen waiting to come ou, must be particular to keen to the back of the light, or the shadow will be apparent when his presence would be undesirable. In coming on,each performer should jump sideways over the light. This in front will have the appearance of his having dropped from the ceiling, and when he has finished liis part and wishes to make his exit, h- does so backward, when it will appear to the audience as if he hao gone up through the ceiling. Cire must lie taken to invariably frump over the light sideways, steadiy ami neatly, without hurry or heedlessness.and without knockit gagainst the light. In going through the business of the pantomime, the actors must remember that it essential to do it in profile, as their shadows should have the effect in front of Kilhouettes. or figures cut out in black paper. In using chairs or tables they should be placed as dose as possible to the screen, without causing the person sitting on or walking in front of them to touch the screen. When, ladies take part in the pantomime the stage manager should be particular i” making all come out from the sides. There must be no jumping over the light, for ladies young or old, so that no accident from a dress taking fire can possibly take place. (IRE XT MAINE SNAKE.

On Friday, Inst Mr. Hall and Mr. : William Libby, of St. Stephen, were 1 laving out a logging chance on land of William Duren, and in hunting for a certain bunsli of spruce unexpec- t tedly eame out on Chain Lake. It t was a beautiful day with cnly a slight « breeze rippling the water, and they r stopped on the shore to take their e lunch. Mr. Libbey soon noticed a j peculiar noise, which seemed at first t to issue out of the woods, and next e came from the direction of a cove t above. Mr. H ili could not for a time j hear the noise to which his attention was called; but, when he did finally distinguish the sound, he remarked that aerew of men must be repairing the dam above. Just then there appeared in sight around the point, t a mile away, an object which they 1 took for men in askift. but soon dis- 1 covered to be an enormous snake. t With its head elevated six feet above 1 the water, it came swiftly down the lake, facing the sun, until it reached a position just opposite the men, and distant less than half a mile. It then ' stopped short, throwing the middle ‘ parted its body out of the water in an' arch', also six feet high. Its head, which it had before kept turning in the dire,-tion of o. e shore and then the other, was pointed for a minute in the direction of Mr. Hall and his companion, who stood motionless. After this inspection it suddenly straightened out again, and passed by and down into the outlet. Its speed was aboli' a mile in five minutes, or twelve miles an hour, and its appear arce w> ilein motion is thus minutely beaerlbed From its bead to the watprwae six feet; the next twenty feet I-more of i'» °rm was under water; 7 .me tw/ h e f«et of its back apl then the surface to a height peart” I . u i nc hes; the remainJ greater length was hidden

from view, and, as the propelling power was necessarily attached to the last named part, its entire body ‘‘could not have been under fifty feet long, and more likely was over sixty feet.” The he dat the broadest place could not have measured less than two and one half feet accross, and the unrivht portion of its body, though, or course, by no means the largest, was "as big as a pork barrel.” When last seen in the outlet it had left the water, and was passing over a distant point of land covered with granite boulders, among which were tough noshes. The erect oart t hen "looked like a man that would weigh 300 or 4)0.” Mr. Hall’s theory is that the ser pent travels and lives on land as well water, aud that its chief food consists of deer. On the day named “it was hungry, and having smelled us, came out of the woods utter a meal.” Coming down the lane “it passed by the scent, borne on the wind, and when it got where the sun would permit it to see us, we stood so still it took us for stubs on the shore, and proceeded on." Mr. Hall says the Times was incorrect in stating that he saw large scales ou the snake’s back. He saw nothing of the kind, and if it had scales thev could not have been distinguished half a mile off; nor did he say, as one paper deliberately reports, that it had eyes “as big as saucers. ’ He could tell nothing about its eyes. Then again, th ■ monster was not “frightened by shoal water or some other cause,” as it never approached directly toward him. Finally, he and his companion were not "terrorstricken.” They stood still, knowing that neither shoal water nor flight to the woods would save them if the serpent kept the scent and was bent on mischief. “I had plenty of time,” says Mr. Hall, “if worst came to worst, to cut and sharpen a sapling a dozen feet long, and at close quarters, I should have plunged the pole down its threat, and let Mr. Libtey kill it with the ax. I knew better than to have attacked him with the ax first.” Mr. Hall says that any man on the St. Croix who will dispute the existence of the above-de-scribed “boa-constrictor,” in the face of what his eyes and those of Mr Libbey have just witnessed, is not clearheaded. This is not the first time this snake has beeu seen, Old Capt. Lewev saw it many years ago, and others of the Passamaqnoddy Indians have seen it in Big Lake al various times. Every member of the tribe knows of it and believes in it. Mr John Williams aud a crew of men saw it at the mouth of Little river twenty-nine years ago, and his description attracted much attention at that time. Mr. Williams mistook a part of the snake's body for an immense log lying across the boom, and. upon advancing to see how the log got there, the brute moved away, and in going across the land made a broad deep furrow in the grass and soil ot the meadow. Mr. Hall now regrets that he ever said anything about the snake, as there are so many "fools” among men who disbelieve and deride. He thinks some plan to capture the snake, by tying a live horse on the shore of the lake as a bait may prove successful, and all will then see that his description was carefully kept within the actual truth.—Calais (Me.) Times.

Gniteau's Wife. A Washington special of the 17th to the Globe Democrat says: Guiteau was visited in jail to-day by Mrs. Dunmore, his divorced wife, who was visible affected on seeing her former husband. Tears swelled to her eyes as she said, “Charles, I'm sorry'to find you in this'eoudition.” “Never mind,” he said, and then went ou to abuse Corkhill for having brought her on as a witness. She then said she had called to bill him good-by, aud she never might see him again. Guiteau, however, seemed anxious to prolong the inter view, and asked of Mrs. Dunmore about her little daughter, who was with her then. A peculiar look passed over his face, and his thin lips twitched nervously. Said he: “Anna, I can wish you uo harm. I hope your life may be prosperous and happy.” The lady’s husband then stepped forward and shook Guiteau’s, hand, saying “We say good-by now, for I hope to leave for Leadville Monday night. It is too close f>r me around here.” “And for me too,” said Guiteau, with a ghastly smile—and they parted.

One of the leading insurance companies of Hartford, Conn., lios just ended its experience with “a dead man who didn't die.” In October of last year one Joel Piper, farmer, called on the company's agent at Quincy, 111., and took out an accident policy for $2,500, payable to bis wife, Almira C. Piper, in case of death. For this he paid $25. He also applied for a life policy for $1,500, and the policy was duly written by the company and forwarded. For this Piper paid $55,73. Thus his investment was $80.73 for $4,000 of insurance. The company heard noth ng further until the receipt of a letter from the agent dated Nov. 1, stating that Piperhad beendrowne the day’ previous while in a skiff on the Mississippi with his brothers-in-law, Thomas H. and Janies H. Bryant. The agent was informed that that the party were crossing a small branch of the str-aiu when, in propelling the boat, he lost his balance, fell overboard and >• as drowned. The company forwarded blanks for proof of loss aud in due time they were filled ont and signed by the widow and the Bryants. I'he latter, as the witnesses of his death, made a special affidavit that they saw Piper drown. Nevertlieeless the company was not satisfied that all was square, and two St. Ixiuis detectives were told to look into the case. The alleged drowned man, Piper, was arrested near Ripley, Tenn. Piper, Mrs. Piper aud the Bryants are now in jail at Quincy.

In a recent sermon Bishop Pierce, of the Methodist Episcopal church .of the South denounced dancing as the silliest and most nonsensical amusement that rational beings, so-called, I ever engaged in. He said that it bad its origin, in heathenism, being a pastime of savages; appealing to the lower instincts of humanity, and being the chosen sport of the vilest and most imbruted of the human race.

It cures Spavins. Splints. Curbs, Ring bones aud all similar blemishes, and removes the bunch without blietfiing. For man it is now known to be one of the test, if not the best liniment ever discovered. We feel positive that every man can have perfect success in every case if he will only use good common sense in applying Kendall’s Spavin Cure, and pre serve in bad cases of long standing Read below the experience of others FROM COL. L. T. FOSTER. Youngstown, 0., May 10 1880. Dr- B. J. Kendall & Co., Grnts;—l had a very valuable Hambletonian colt which 1 priied very highly, he bad a large bone spavin on one joint and a smaller one on the other which made him very lame; 1 had him under the charge of two Veterinary Surgeons which failed to cure him 1 was one day reading the advertisement of Kendall’s Spavin Cure in the Chicago Express, I determined at once to try it and got our Druggist here to send for it, they ordered three bottles; 1 took them a l and thought I would give it a thorough trial, I used it according to directions and by the fourth day the colt ceased to be lame, and the lumps had entirely disappeared. 1 used but one bottle and the colts limbs are as free from lumps and as sn.ooih as any horse in the State. He is entirely cured The cure was so remarkable that i let two of my neighbors have the remaining two bottlels who are now using it. Very repecstfuly,, L. T. FOSTER. Perseverance VliUl Tell. Stoughton, Mass., V'arch 16, 1880. B. J. Kendall Sl Co., Genth:-*-!n justice to you and myself, I think I ought to let you know that 1 have removed two boat spavins with Kendall's Spavin Cure, one very large one, don’t know how long the spavin bad been there. I have owned the horse eight months. It took me four months to take the large one otf and two for the small one. 1 have used ten bottles. The horse is extremely well, not at all stiff, and no bunch to be seen or felt. This is a wonderful medicine.

Also tor corns, bunions, frost bites, or any bruise, cut or lameness- Some are t frail to use it on human fi-sh simply because it is a horse medicine, but you should remember that what is good for beast is soid for man. and we know fr in expe rience that “ Kendall's Spavin Cure ’ can be used on a child 1 year old wiih perfect safety.

Patten s Mills, Washington co. N Y, 1 February 21, 1878. f B J Kendall, M D, Dear Sir—The particular case on which I used your Kendrll's Spavin Cure was a malignant ankle sprain of sixteen months s’aniing. I had tried many things, but in vain. Your “Kendall Spavin Cure ’ put the foot to th? ground again, and, for the first time since hurt, in a natural position. For a family liniment it excells anything weever used Yours truly, REV M P BELL Pastor M E church, Patten’s Mills, N 1. Bakersfield. Vt, Dec 23, 1879. B J Kendall & Co, Gents—l wish to add my testimony in favor of your invaluable liniment, “Kendalls Spavin Cure.” In the spring of 1872 I slipped on the ice and sprained my right limb at the knee joint I was very lame and at times suffered the most excruciating pain. 1 wore a bandage on over a year, and tried most everything in my reach, but could find nothing that would give me permanent relief. When I overworked it would pain me very much. In April 1878 I began to think I should b* a cripple for life; but having some of “Kendall's Spavin Cure” thought I would try it. I used one-third of a bottle, and experienced relief at once. Tbepftin left me and has not troubled me since. 1 feel very grateful to you and would recommend ’Kendall’s Spavine Cure to all who suffer with sprains and rheumatism. Yours truly, Mrs. J. Boutbll.

KENDALL S BPAVIN CURE. Kendall's Spavine Cure is sure in its effects, mild in its action as it does not blister, yet it is penetrating and powerful to reach any deep seated yain or to remove any bony growth or any other enlargement if used for several days, such as spavins, splints, curbs, callous, sprains, swellings, any laments* and all enlargements of the joints or limbs, or rheumatism in man and for any purpose for which a liniment is used for man or beast. It is now known to be the best liniment for man ever used, acting mild and yet certain in its effects. It is used full strength with perfect safety at all seasons of the year.

Decatur May 5, 1881. ts Jacob Cramer, father of Jennie Cramer, for whose alleged murder the Malley boys have been on trial in New Haven, died on Tuesday last. The death, though ascribed to consumption, was no doubt hastened by mental distress. A dispatch from Paris to the Now York Herald Says that the locality of the wreck of the Jeannette is 500 miles from the delta of the river Lena and that from the delta to the Yakoutsk is 1,000 miles of desolate country. The London Daily News thinks that Judge Cox and his court seem to exist for the convenience and selfglorification of Guiteau, and praises the unruffled temper and dignified bearing of Colonel Corkhill. The military at San Antonio are non-committal in regard to the Flipper sentence. It is rumored that he has been dismissed from the service.

Hahnemann, the founder of the hornetpathic school, was one day consulted by a wealthy English lord. The doctor listened patiently to the patient. He took a small phial, opened it, and held it under his lordship's nose. “Smell! Well, you are cured.” The lord asked in surprise, “How much do I owe!” “A thousand francs,” was the reply. The lord immediately pulled ont a bank-note and held it under the doctor’s nuee. “Smell! Well, you are paid!” Twenty-three Russian conspirators, who are believed to be the leaders of the terrorist party, will Ire tried in 8t Petersburg before a special sitting of the senate.

On a rapidly moving train from Aurora, James T. Kelleher and Dan Colman attempted to throw Charles Fowler between the cars, but failed. They followed him into the baggage car, however, and brutally beat him, Kelleher threatening to kill. On the arrival of the train at Batavia, Fowler bought a revolver, and when the men again approached him he shot Kelleher dead. The anti-lanl league address by Bishop McQuaid, of the Rochester, N. V-, diocese, meets much opposition among Irish Roman Catholics. Warm letters of approval are, however, also received by the bishop.
