One of the Wonders of California.

Recently in San Francisco when the chorus for-the Thomas concerts asked for tickets for themselves and for escorts for the ladies op nights they were not to sing, Mr. Thomas replied, “No.” “Very well,” said the chorus, goodnataredly. “Tickets without escorts, then?'" “No,” replied Mr. Thomas. “All right,” the chorus said. “We will sit up in our chorus seats as usual the nights we don’t sing.” “No,” replied the only Thomas, for the third time; “when you don’t sing you can pay for tickets like anyone else.” “In that case,” 1 the chorus replied, “it is still'very well—we won’t come at all —not even to sing.” This Pacific-coast way of looking at affairs speedily effected a compromise, and during the festival, in smiling triumphant tiers, the chorus will sit up aloft on the nights it does not sing, and Mr. Thoinas has made note of the incident as one of the wonders of California.—San Francisco Call. r - ■ -IAn old lady in Gainesville, Ga., has a colored Easter.-egg which she prepared on an Easter day flfty-two years ago.
