Ground Hog la., —No. Shadow Could 13e Seen Sunday
Sunday, Feb. 2, was ground hog day, but that festive auimal could see no shadow to scare him back into his winter quarters, so he is supposed to have staid out. He is, however, a bigger fool than any [prophet ought to be if he would either come ou or stay out, in such weather as this, without his quarters are full ef water. J. F. Peck, who owned a pet ground hog for four years, is authority on the ground hog hog question. He says the one he owned never paid any attention to Feb. 2, but was liable to come out at any time, from the 1st to the loth of the month, if it was nice warm weather. According to the old idea, we will have good weather soon, whereas if Sunday had been sunshiny, the ground hog would have gone back into his quarters for a six weeks' sojourn.
What
The Press Says.
When Mrs. Gen. Tom Thumb, Miss Jennie Quialey, the Count Magri and the Baron Magri, the four clever little people comprising the American Lilliputians, marched "front and center" upon the raising of the curtain at the Grand last, nkht, they were met with a burst of applause from a well filled house. Then four little heads bowed gracefully and from that moment the audience was theirs. No matter what they did—sing, dance, talk, waltz, fence, box, imitate— it was all one. It was amusing and decidedly clever. At the glance no one would ever accuse Count Magri of being proficient in vocal art, but when in the dainty midget comedy, "Two Rivals," built to fit its cast, he struck up "I Have Sighed to Rest Me," from II Trovatore, and the baron joined in the exquisite duet, the effect was electrifying. But the program held a still greater surprise, Miss Jennie Quigley proved a veritable Lilliputian nightingale and imparted so much of sparkle and sweetness' into her catchy little songs that nothing would do but that she must return to the stage the third time. Her's will be an ovation at today's matinee. Mrs. Gen. Tom Thumb also came in for a share of the vocalist's honors. When she sang "I'm 63," just as she had sung it for 6,000 times before, prolonged applause demanded an encore. The specialties and specialty people carried by the company were, upon the whole, excellent. Mme. Trazom was introduced in some astounding so called hypnotic feats, and the three Les Freres Renos are proficient fellows in contortion and knock about acrobatic turns. The engagement terminates with tomorrow night's performance, and it is to be regretted, for the company is unqualifiedly the most entertaining lot of entertainers which has appeared at the Grand this year.—Indianapolis Journal.

TERRORIZED BYDEER
A MOB OP THEM CAPTURE A HOUSE AND SMASH THINGS.
A Sportsman's Account of the Annoyance Caused by Canadian Game Laws—If Yon Want Peace While Hunting In Canada
Provide a Stuffed Gray Wolf.
"But I was going to tell you about the Canadian game laws being responsible for a nuisance," said tbe old sportsman. "The deer have the laws down fine, and though you might roam for days without seeing a sign of one of them in the shooting season they are as numerous and intrusive as mosquitoes at other times. The deer, you know, is a species of goat and will develop all a goat's toughness if he gets the idea that yon daren't touch him. No small boy could be more insolent than the deer under those circumstances. "After we finished our dinner the first evening at the cabin on Capen island last August we sat reading and smoking. A dee put his head in the door and ba-a-a-ed at us and winked his eyes and shook his tail in an eager way, as if he was asking for something. 'What does he want?' we asked the guide. 'Oh, anything—old clothes or boots, a rubber shoe, tomato cans, anything like, that for a change of diet.' "Wegave him a pair of stockings and a chromo of Mary Anderson. He ate them and bounded away looking as pleased as if his uncle had left him a legacy. That made us laugh, and we hoped he would come back and let us have some more fun with him. "He did come back before daylight next morning and brought six other deer with him. They ate up two white shirts and some underclothes that were hanging on the line behind the house and roused us up by knocking on the door with their horns. When the guide opened the door, the leading buck butted him into a corner. The other deer crowd ed in, and they took possession of the place. They upset the lamp, and as many as could get at it drank the kerosene. It made them cough, but didn't abate their curiosity in the least. They all put their noses in the stove and sniffed the ashes. That set them sneezing. The big buck, by turning his horns sideways, got his head into the biscuit barrel. He ate till he was rounded out like a football and then tried to go out to get a drink. But he had forgotten the combination, and the barrel staid right where it was. He gave a loud'ba a-a-a 1' and that frightened him worse than anything, for his voice was baritone, and the barrel made it sound like double bass. Then he Btarted in to back cut slowly, shaking his head and keeping it low. "I and Capen had kept quiet in our bunks. We knew the Canadian law, and we didn't want any trouble with the deer. But they had no idea of leaving us in peace. Two of them caught hold of the blanket that was covering Capen and began to devour it. 'Leggol' he shouted. But it was no use. They knew the ropes and were not going to be bluffed. "'Jumping mackerel!' shouted Capen, getting mad. 'I won't stand this any longer. Law or no law, these hoodlums have got to get out of my house.' "He started to descend from his berth when a wicked looking doe made a jump from the other end of the room and helped him back again. I don't know what would have become of us if it had not been for the buck with the barrel. In backing out he tripped over a chair and fell down. The barrel jarred him, and he became panic stricken. He gave a terrific'b-a-a-al' and hoisting the barrel up in the air began to charge about blindly. He fell down, turned somersaults, butted the other deer and tried to knock out the end of the cabin. The others were so surprised and frightened at his strange appearance and antics that they stood still and stared open mouthed till two or three of them were knocked galley west. These got up and away, full lickity smash, and the others woke up and slid the whole earth from under themselves at one jump. "The three of us got up and jnmped on the buck. We carried him outside and then let him go, and the way he smashed around through the landscape was a caution. We could trail him by the biscuits. He broke the bottom out of the barrel after awhile, but I guess he's wearing the rest of it yet. "Of course we were in a great state of alarm for fear the deer would come back, but the guide said: 'That's all right. I'll fix those fellows. "Luckily we had a fine gray wolf skin. This the guide stuffed and planted in a lifelike attitude on the shore where the deer came from the mainland. That afternoon the deer that turned our cabin inside out returned with 25 others. They were all on the broad smile, thinking of the picnic they were going to have till they caught sight of the stuffed wolf. That stopped them as dead as though they had run against a brick wall. They wheeled quick as a flash, and the way they put was a caution. "After that we had no more trouble, and my advice to men who are going for sport into the wilds of Canada is that they take a stuffed gray wolf if they want to have peace and comfort." —New York Sun.
The Professional Woman.
Margaret Sangster, writing of women as office workers, says, "The daily wear and tear of nerves, temper and clothing of obligatory office attendance cannot be adequately stated or paid fur in dollars and cents, and therefore a woman must love her profession over and above financial gains and pursue it for its own sake if she would find in it the rewards of a chosen career."
Consider how much more you often svffer from your anger and grief than from those very things for which you are angry aud grieved.—Marcus Antoninus.
A FAMOUS EPITAPH.
It Marks In Poughkeepsie the Grave of a Self Exiled Englishman. There are some interesting epitaphs in the old graveyards in Poughkeepsie, but probably none of them has been so widely known and admired as that on the stone which marks the burial place of John Taylor in front of Christ church, on Academy street. This epitaph has been widely published on both sides of the ocean, it is said, and is believed to have been written by the English poet William Roscoe and sent over for his friend Taylor's gravestone. Yet the stone lies neglected, and the last three lines of the epitaph have been broken off, probably during the work preceding the building of the new church. The epitaph was published in Benson J. Lossing's book on "Vassar College and Its Founder," and was greatly admired and frequently quoted by Matthew Vassar, Jr., as many of his friends remember. The inscription and epitaph on the stone are as follows:
In this spot was interred John Taylor Attorney at Law the eldest son of Doctor John Taylor of Bolton le Moors, England, who died of the yellow fever
Sept. 11th, 1805. Aged 36 years.
Far from his kindred friends and native skies Here mouldering in the dust poor Taylor lies. Firm was his mind, and fraught with various lore And his mild heart was never cold before. He lov'd his country, lov'd that spot of earth •Which gave a Hampden, Milton, Bradshaw birth, But when that country, dead to all but gain, Bowed her base neck and hugged the oppress or's chain Loathing the abject scene he drooped and sigh ed, Crossed the wild waves and here untimely died. Stranger what'er thy country creed or hue Go and like him the moral path pursue Go, and for Freedom every peril brave And nobly scorn to be or hold a slave.
The last line is one that has been particularly admired and frequently quoted, and it is gone from the stone, which is broken off just after the fourth line from the end. That this stone should have been so mutilated seems little short of vandalism. John Taylor is said to have come to this country about the same time that the Vassar family came, shortly after the close of the American Revolution, and at a time when the English government was repressing all outspoken friends of reform in fear of a repetition in England of the French revolution. He was the uncle of Mr. Hudson Taylor, and the greatuncle of Mr. Robert E. Taylor. His father, Dr. John Taylor, was a very prominent man in England, with many influential friends, one of whom was the poet Roscoe, who wrote the epitaph, which reminds one very much of some of Goldsmith's best lines.—Poughkeepsie Eagle.
THE MOON EOTHERED JULIET.
A Small Japanese Hoy Held It and Would Not Go Away.
"While in Japan we went to Tokyo to play 'Romeo and Juliet,' said Mrs. Potter recently. "We played from 7 o'clock in the morning until 9 o'clock in the evening, as the manager demanded plays that would last all day, and when I told him that we had none of sufficient elasticity he replied that when it was all ended, we would start all over again. Well, we did. The manager was impressed with the necessity of having a moon, and that Juliet, as near as possible, should always be kept in the moonlight. "Well, the balcony scene arrived, and there was no moon, but in the midst of Romeo's most passionate wooing, which, so far as the light on the stage was concerned, might have taken place at midday, the moon suddenly appeared. It was in the form of a lantern fixed on a bamboo pole and was swayed before my face by a little Jap who stood beneath the balcony in full view of the audience. The audience didn't seem to mind it in the least, but it made me very nervous, and every time Romeo would pour forth his soul I would ejaculate, 'Take away that moon.' But the boy was mindful of his instructions, that Juliet was always to be in the moonlight/and during the rest of the performance every time I came on the stage I was pursued by that awful moon. Nothing could induce the boy to desist, and so the moon held full sway."—Rochester Union and Advertiser.
Americans In Nova Scotia.
A lady of Nova Scotia, writing to the Boston Transcript, says that the Americans who visit Nova Scotia are almost without exception pleasant and well mannered people. "We note some slight difference between their speech and ours. Their voices are higher and sharper, and they are more up to date as to slang. I am afraid that in our heart of hearts we feel ourselves a little superior in repose of manner, for the rollicking enjoyment of the ordinary American when on a holiday in Nova ^cotia is, perhaps, too evident. But when the patience with which they endure many inconveniences, the zest with which they enter into any pleasures that come in their way, and the good will with which they are ever ready to help any oharitable scheme Which may be afoot in a place where they are staying are put in the scale against the loudness which sometimes offends us, the trifling peculiarity kicks the beam."
Dumas' Prediction.
The last time Sarah Bernhardt saw Alexandre Dumas she congratulated him on the fact that the thousandth performance of "La Dame aux Camelias" was soon to be given with proper ceremonies. "Ah, madam,"said the dramatist, "I am very willing that the event should be celebrated, but on one condition—that I be not present." And he was not.
