It is''riot ad ways Sunday trfOrning at Mrs. Comfort's, but it is the only morniag that all the boarders meet at one table when with the pleasant content of an almost family party, chat flows freely, gaily, as the passing fancy moves. As with most little coteries, this particular one believes in its own wisdom and wit, and is fully competent, so it thinks, to criticise everything or body that may he on the carpet.

It is on this very toornlnf so bright and fresh, that Miss Laura dressed botimes—with coquettish care, steps through the dining-room to the veranda, long before her laggard friends appear. Quite unstudied, doubtless, was the pose, so careless and graceful in the reclining garden chair, where the trying sunshine cast a golden gleam on her crepe' hair, half concealed by tho dainty breakfast cap or head dress, or what you will, of gold and crimson. What with the same vivid colors mingling in the dressy morning robe, and the gay, fluffy knitted shawl that fell from her shoulders, the little lady was as brilliant as the Rubythroat that was humming over some lingering flowers. Her large gray eyes were fixed upon the cloudless sky, from which, they seemed to draw the blue. She softly sung an old, old song: 'Each flower the dews have lightly wet,

And iu the sky the stars are wet, And on the wave In deeper blue, And on the leaf a browner hue, And in the Heaven that clear obscure, So softly dark, and darkly pure,' "Oh! Mr. Derby, how you startled me, creeping up like a spirit from Pence's Hall!" "I didn't wish ta interrupt that Byronic reminiscence, and it is not often I oatch you. in a sentimental mood. Where were you? Watching the moonshine upon fair Ferrara, or on the Piazza in Venice?" "To tell

the truth, I was comparing a

Hoosier sky with tho blue over Venice and this cool, crisp day with the horrid day when we went from Milan to the city of tho Doges, Summer before last— such a dusty, hot ride, seven hours loug. What a relief when we rumbled, at dark, out upon the Viaduct, over the Laguna and rode in tho gloom and silence over its two hundred arches. Water, water everywhere, for three miles with the cool green waves on either side, no sound but the dismal rattle of the train, and then the depressing silence and quiet of the railroad station at Venice. No electric lights there, nor omnibuses, nor hacks, nor cabmen—bless their noisy throats! No, indeed but we just walked down steps to the black waters' edge of the Qrande Canale, where the same black gondolas stuck up their snaky prows. Wo floated silently away—the very oars inado no splash—but occasionally was heard the curious warning cries of passing gondolicri. Mercy, but I was blue! And it was not till I saw the life and gayety of the Piazzi, next day, fed the pigeons and bought some horrid mosaics, that I fairly woke up "Change cars for Torre Haute," exclaimed Jack, and the breakfast bell rang.

Jack carefully cracked an egg and a poor joke at the same time by observiug —'I like European reminiscences they remind mo that 'the poor, we have with us always'—-but the rich go out of town In the summer—still I am refreshed when I come across a vigorous traveler like Captain P., who knows the price of brick in Rome, the pitch of the street

Sought,

Derbv prevented further irrelevant remarks by saying, "I trust we will get a competent street commissioner here a man who can afford to give his whole time to the city's work, and earn his $1,300."

Ihe Professor thought the late Mr. Hook, wasn't treated just fairly—didn't know whether the kicking council men loved Hook leas or gravel more.

Jack said "ooundl-man yon mean— the one who loves the great, big *1'— never saw a map look 'so glad he is alive.' Rook wasn't his choice, nor mine either, as far as thst goes, bat how 1 hate your 'fuss and feathers.' that because he is councilman, thinks with Andy Johnson be can fill every office in the gtft of the people, and goes to making slates——-*' "Mr impulsive young friend," said the Professor, softly. "Don't worry yourself there are a few level beaded men ia the council who can run this thing. If they can stand a little ofttdousness, I'm sure I rati."

"Wait a minute, Jack," called Mrs. Comfort. "I want to mention to all that I expeot a new boarder quite an additon to our little family, as I hope." "Who is it?" "The Hon. Major Dash, Ex-Consul to Bogota and Leghorn."

4*Oh!

Jerusalem!" from Jack, with a

groan. "How delightful!" said Laura, with an ecstatic gaze at the gilt horseshoe over the door. "He is just adorable! So very gallant—so full of compliments,

and so talented." "Major Dash! Was he an officer in the late war?" queried McEwan. "Oh, yes," replied Jaek, who seemed annoyed "of course he was he'fought, bled and died' (wish he had) on the gc field of Chickabiddy Run and he's been running ever since—for an office." "Jack's scared. The Major has away of sitting down on callow youths ana cutting tnem out with the ladies, equally disconcerting," the Professor observed. "Never yon mind, Professor my youth and your doubts as to who yoar grandfather was, will shut ns both out with the great Major Dash. Farewell happy hours,—'in the midst of life we are inaebt' "—with which apparently irrelevant remark, he passed out.

THE PASSING SHOW.

PLAYS AND PLAYERS

Four entertainments are booked at tho Opera House next week, and all so attractive as to gather large audiences, The first to come, on Tuesday evening is Willie Edouin's company in "Dream's whioh we are told has been materially altered since produced here last season. Specialties have been introduced for Marian Elmore, ono of the brightest burlesque actresses on the stage, and for Johnny Mackay, who appears as the Photographer. Lotta Belton the wonderful tenor, ia also still with the company. Hero is what the Boston Globe says of the company: "Popular Willie Edouln, under any circumstances almost, Is sure to attract a crowded house in Boston, aad the name thing may be said of Alice Atnerton. The Sparks Combination which these two head, is to be much stronger than last year, when It appeared to a serieds of crowded audiences at the Park Theater. 'Dreams,' the piece of merry staking, which introduces the company, has beea rewritten and doubtless improved— •OIIM of the dialocu*-contracted and-new situations introduced. Marian Elmore, whose laugh is always *p 'caUhlng,' has haa apart created in 'Dreams' for her especial emolument, aad the other new members of the oompany (John A. Mackay, the popular oomedian, 8y(vla, Gerrixh, late of the Melville Opera Troupe, P. B. Smith and Carlotta Park, of the Italian opera) will And abundant opportunity for the display of their talon ts.

On Wedneeday evening, the new American comedy of "Edgewood Folks" will bo played with Sol Smith Russell in his famous character of Tom Dilloway. No entertainment here last season, gave greater pleasure than this. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle says: "Edgewood Folks," is full of decorous hsmor, innocent merriment and kindly wit, a'nd is just what is wanted in the way of a light, pleasing and innocent amusement. It is fall of bright sayings, eomieal situations and cleverly designed incidents, and gives •cope for good acting to a company honestly able to boMt that it has leen selected with a view to the bost of comedy acting, and not merely to make Itallast for a star. Mr. Sol Smith Russell, who plays the principal part, that of TOm Dilloway, is, or ought to be known to the general reader as one of the most versatile of legitimate comedians that we have. There appears to be no line of comedy parts that he cannot take. His sketches of character, marked by the most comprehensive study and expressed by an innumerable phalanx of little touches in detail, proves that his schooling in dramatic art has been thorough. With his keen Intuition of characterand his amaxing dexterity in hitting off Its salient points, Mr. Russell has two of tbe highest qualifications that a oomedian can have. Of a company that contains such artists as accompany Mr. Ruasell it is super flous to speak, except to anticipate the general verdict of warm commendation.

On Friday evening, William Horace Lingard's "Stolen Kisses" Combination will appear in the comedy of that name, Mr. Lingard arrived in this country from hto tour around the world in February last, having been absent two years. He has collected one of the beat Combinations now traveling. He has played the part of the ex-Minister and Tutor in this comedy of "Stolen Kisses" over three hundred times with the moat pronounced success. The Chicago Tribune says "it is one of the funniest comedies ever written and bound to have along run. The Chicago Tribune

Nothing could well be mere thoroughly amusing. All the characters are taken from life. In the ex-Minister and Tutor we recognise a dear old friend, who in his day bad a Ume and haa not forgotten it.

Tbe weeka festivities will be rounded Bp with Rial's Unci** Tom's Cabin, on Saturday afternoon and evening.
