Entering the Twenty-Fourth street door, and traversing a long, narrow, dark passage, the visitor found himself recently at the great stage of the Grand baUetT'glris hurried to the dressing rooms to dress far the rehearsal, .for though it was an undress rehearsal, still a suitable dancing costume had to be donned, as long dresses are fatal to artistic dancing. The "marching" girls, many of whom are novices, needed no change, and they waited, in the body of the house tuna in tho wings. The new comers looked timidly about, or collected in little groups chatting in whispers. Many of them eon versed freely with the visitor.

No," said a rosy cheeked, brownhaired miss, "I never played anywhere before, but I wasn't doing anything at home, and thought I'd try this." -It's very hard getting any work to do," joined in another—a pale-faced thoughtful girl. "When we can get sewing it's almost impossible to support ourselves and now that we can not get work at any price, I was glad to come here. Six dollar* a week Is better than starving. I didn't want to come at all, but I like better than I thought I should." A

MABBJED LIFE IN NEVADA.

The Cb*Ade*tiai Talk a Young Couple Had About Faults, tmd What Game of it,

After having been married some weeks, it came into the head of a young husband in a neighboring city, one Sunday, when he had but little to occupy hi* mind, to suggest to his wife that they should plainly and honestly state the faults that each bad discovered in the other since they had been man and wife. After some hesitation the wife agreed to the preposition, bat stipulated that the reheanra should be made in all sincerity and vwth an honest view to bettering each other, aa otherwise it would be of no use to weak of the fitultnto which the marriage had opened their eves. The husband was of the same mind, but hia wife insisted that he was the first to propose the matter, and, aa he was at the bead of the house, it was his place to take the lead. Thus uiged, he began the •jcital. He aid:

My dear, one of the first faults I observed in you after we began

I am g1"i that you have mentioned it, my dear," said the wife, blushing a little.

"Hereafter

Now," said he, "my dear, you begin and tell me all the faults you have observed in me since we have been m»\tied."

The young botwewife sat in silence, her face flushed to the temples, and a great lump in her throat, which she seemed to be striving hard to swallow.

Proceed, my dear tell me all the faults you have observed in me, sparing none."

Arising suddenly fivm her seat, the little wife buret into tears, and, throwing both her arms about her husband's neck,

My dear husband, you have not a fault in the world. If you have even one, my eyes have been so blinded by my love for vou, that as long as we have been married I have never once observed it. In my eyes yoa are perfect, and all that you do seems to be done in the best manner, and just what should be done."

But, my a ear," said the husband, his face reddening, and his voice growing husky with emotion, "just tlunk, I have gone and found all manner of fault with you. Now tell me some of my faults I know I have many—ten times as many as you ever had or ever will have. Let me hear them."

Indeed, husband, it is as I tell you yon have not a single fault that I can see. Whatever you do seems right in my eyes and now that I know what a good-for-nothing HttUi wretch I am, I shall at once begin the work of reform and try to make myself worthy of you."

Nonsense, my dear, you know sometimes I go away and leave you without any wood cut stay up town when I ought to be at home I spend my money for cigars and drinks, when I ought to bring it bome to you—"

No, you don't," cried his wife "you do nothing of the kind. I like to see

you

enjoy yourself I should be unhappy if you aid otherwise than just exactly as you do."

God bless you, little wifel" cried the now thoroughly subjugated husband, "from this moment vou have not a fault in the world. Indeed you never had a fault I was only joking—don't remember a word I said f" and he kissed away the tears that still trembled in the little woman's ey«s.

Never wain did the husband scrutinise the tinware and examine the dish

Now, when at home, I remember that ray mother always used to wash out her dish rags when she was done using theui, and then bang thera up where they could dry, ready for the next time she would need them."

Blushing as before, the young wife promised to amend this fault. The husband continued with a most formidable list of faults, many more than we have space to enumerate, when he declared that be could think of nothing more that was worthy of mention.

TESTIMONIALS

DUBUQUE, Iowa, Oct.. 10.

W. N. HKDGES A Co.:

Gentlemen—We find your Champion Baking Powder takes splendidly in this market in fact we do not believe we ever handled a baking powder that seems to have given such universal satisfaction as yours does. We have not a single can of tho powder left that Messrs. Ham & Carver, of the Dubuque Herald left for us to sell, and they Inform us they have no more on hand. Would it not be a good idea for you to make an arrangement with one of our jobbing houses so that the retailer could be supplied without sending so- far, as the freight eats up the profits on small quantities. Please reply immediately and give us the desired information. Also oblige by inclosing price lists, and name the jobbing house you make arrangements with, see Respectfully, flbW. W. MABKLC & Co.

MKSSJW. W. N. HEDGES & Co.: Gentlemen—Not long since while in Covington. Indiana, I was invited to assist in baking a wedding cake, and among the materials given me to bake tlie'cake with, was Hedges Champion Baking Powder. Wo had such wonderful success, and the fake was so light and nice that I fell in love with your powder. The cake we baked was what you call In your receipt and reference book, mountain cake. I think it was the most elegant cake 1 ever saw, and would advise every lady that wants a splendid cake to try that receipt. My principal though for writing, is to ask you to send me, by express, three one

ound tans of your Powder, and half or so of your receipt and reference books, that I may distribute thorn araoag my friends.

Respectfully,

Mux, R. T. TAYLOR.

MIXJIM A Co.:

Gentlemen—I have thoroughly tested your "Champion Baking Power," and lit id it to be truly excellent. I am confident that I never used a Baking Powder that did its work so thoroughly as your powder does. You certainly have surpassed all other Baking Powder men in making a mperior brand. Yon will oblige the ladies greatly by keeping It up to the present standard. You will pardon tne for writing you, bat I thought perhaps a word from one that had tried your powder in every variety of baking would not be out of place.
