"Wemay do without poetry,music, or art, sings Owen Meredi h. It may bo true, but still a man can't do without -clean linen on state occasloui, pod enjoy himself. Go to Hunter's Trov Laundry.

At dinntr the host introduces to the favorable notice of the company a splendid truffled pheasant amid murmers of admiration. "Isn't it a beauty ?r' he says "Dr. So-and-so gave it to me—killed il himself." "Aw, what was he treating it for?" says one of the guests.

A man went into a clothing store the other day, and after picking out some very fine cloth, said: I want to make my father a present of an overcoat. Just measure me for it. Of course, it will be too big for him, but it's pretty good wearing cloth, and a6 the old man's in bad health I'll have to Wear it sooner or later, any way. Just make it a little broad across the shoulders."

When the Hawkeye man had just fin ished convulsing hia hearers with an ac count of a youtlvs experience with his fir6t moustach, a young man leaned over his girl, and whispered: "That's true to life, I can tell you." "How can you tell me?" inquired hi6 girl. "How?" he repeated in a whisper "why, by experience that's just the way I felt when I first got shaved.'' "When was that?" "Oh, before I raised my moustache,' he returned. "What moustache?" she queried a little surprised. "What moustache do you suppose?" he retorted, turning red. "Why, Charlie," whispered the girl "I never saw any moustache. Do you mean that—" "Nevermind what I mean," hissed the young man, between his clenched teeth. And he 6tared very hard at th lecturer all the rest of the evening, but somehow could not see anything to laugh at.

"H. M. S. PI NAFORE,"

Outline of the Reigning Comic Opera—Specimen Songs and and "Slabs."

A Burlesque That Has Never (That Hardly Ever) Been Equalled.

111

"Pinafore," which will be here next Thursday night, is said to be one of the most comical operas ever written. Although no adequate idea of its absurdity or the sparkling nature of its music can be conveyed by mere words, the following is given as showing, something of the style and character of the great sensation.

The scene passes on board the deck of the "Pinafoie" off Portsmouth, and as the curtain rises the sailors are singing a

song

gloritying their many naval vir

tues. Enters at once Little Buttercup, one of the most indescribably humorous characters in the opera. Her name alune is enough to make her funny, for &he is, by contrast, a bumboat woman, with vulgar red cheeks and a green ribbon tied across them. And this is the way she announces her wares:

For I'm called Little Buttercup—dear Little Buttercup, Though I could never tell why But still I'm called Buttercup—poor

Little Buttercup, Sweet Little Buttercup, I, I've snuffs and tobaccy, and excellent jacky

I've scissors and watches and knives I've ribbons and laces to set off the faces Of prettv young sweethearts and wives. I've treacle and toffy, and excellent cotfee,

Soft tommy and succulent chops I've chickens and conies and petty polonies,

And excellent peppermint drops. Then buy of your Buttercup—dear Little Buttercup,

Sailors should never be shy So buy of your Buttercup—poor Little Buttercup,

Come, of your Buttercup buy!

Little Buttercup dances as 6he sings, and the whole chorus seesaws behind her. She volunteers the information that beneath her "gay and frivolous exterior there lurks a canker worm wh'ch is eating its way into her very heart,' and is startled at the mention of the name of Ralph Rackstraw, a common seamar, who soon enters and with a very lackaidaisical look sings a pretty and reallv touching air, avowing his love for the daughter of the Captain of* the "Pinafore." I

MARITIME COURTESIES.

Then follows one of the most grotesque things in the piece. The Captain appears on the bridge of the ship, and exchanges morning salutations with the crew. Imagine this chanted on both sides, the Captain intensely dignified, the crew bowing and scraping with unusual maritime politeness.

CAtr. My gallant crew, good morning. ALL. (Saluting.) Sir, good morning! CAPT. I hope you're all welt. ALL. (As before.) Qnite well and you, sir! CAFT. I am in reasonable health, and happy

To meet you all once more.

ENTER THE

fcFIRST

LORD." &

The entrance of Sir Joseph Porter, K. C. B., who wants to marry the captain's daughter, is preceded by this invisible choius from fifteen female relations who accompany him on his barge, and with whom he appears everywhere:

Over the bright blue sea Comes Sir Joseph Porter, K.

B.,

Wherever he may go Bang bang the loud nine pounders go! Shout o'er the bright blue sea For Sir Joseph Porter, K. C. B.!

The entrance of these female relations and their dance with the sailors is a burlesque upon the conventional opera which must be seen to be appreciated, Sir Joseph enters with this song, to tripping tune, which j^ould make you laugh at itself:

V,!i# I monarch of the sea, The ruler of the queen's

navee,

Whose praise Great Britain loudly chants. And so do his sisters and his cousins and hi« aunts!

SIR JOSEPH. But when the breezes blow, I generally go below, And seek the seclusion that a cabin grants! ALL. And so do his sisters, and his cousins, and his aunts!

His sisters, and his cousins, Whom he reckons up by dozens,

And his aunts!

By a series of circumstances the Cap tain daughter and Ralph Rackstraw leai*n that each loves the other, the entire crew are delighted, and take poetic revenge on Sir Joseph, Ralph's rival, by singing in jubilation a tong which he composed to inculcate lofty sentiment' in the British navy this stanza will serve as a sample:

For a British tar is a soaring 60ul, As free as a mountain bird His energetic fist should be ready to resist

A dictatorial word!

His foot should stamp and his throat should growl, His hair should twirl and his face should scowl, His eyes 6hould flash and his breast protrude, And this should be his customary attitude!

An elopement is attempted with the connivance of the forty warbling sailors, and discovered by the Captain. He denounces all concerned, and the crew remonstrate with him in the air which is the gem of the opera. They tell him, in sturdy, stiff English air, really almost as impressive as "God Save the Queen," that

He is an Englishman! For he himself has said it! And it's greatly to hi6 crcdit That he is an Englishman! For he might have been a Roosian, A French, or Turk, or Proosian, Or perhaps an Itali-an! But in spite of all temptations To belong to other nations He remains an Englishman!

THE CAPTAIN EMITS A "CUSS WORD." The Captain loses his temper, and actually says "Damme," whereat all the sailors are paralyzed with horror—(!!)— and Sir Joseph almost goes into a fit. But when the latter finds that Ralph i6 his rival, he forgets the quality of the British sailor, and after inquiring whether there is "such a thing as a dun geon on board," orders Ralph into irons He is dragged off to a plaintive air, announcing that

He'll hear no more Of the maiden he loves so well! No telephone

Communicates with his cell!

But when Sir Joseph gives the Captain's daughter "officially to understand that he is hurt" to find her seeking such an alliance—her, a Captain's daughter— Little Buttercup breaks in with her revelation, singing as follows:

A many years ago, When I was young and charming.

As some of you may know, I practiced baby tarming.

ALL. NOW this's most alarming, When she was young and charming,

She practiced baby farming, A many years ago.

BUT. Two tender babes I nussed One was of low condition, The other upper crust,

A regular patrician. All (explaining to each other: Now this is the position:

One was of low condition, The other a patrician, A many ears ago.

BUT. Oh, bitter is my cup!

However could I do it? I mixed these children up, And not a creature knew it!

ALL. However could you do it? Some day, no doubt, you'll rue it, Although no creature knew it,

So many years ago.

BUT. In time each little waif it Forsook his foster mother *.^4 The well-born babe was Ralph.

Your Captain was the other!

ALL. They left their foster mother The one was Ralph, our brother, Our captain was the other,

A many years ago.

SIR JOSEPH. Then I am to understand that Capt. Corcoran and Ralph were exchanged in childhood's happy hour—that Ralph is really the Captain, and the Captain is Ralph?

BUT. That is the idea I intended to convey! SIR JOSEPH. Dear me! Let them appear before me at once! WHERE THE NONSENSE OUTDOES IT1 S 6fg SELF.

This grotespue absurdity is absolutely too funny for laughter. Ralph appears as the captain, and in uniform, and orders around the former captain, who appears in common sailor's dress. Sir Joseph say6 he could not marry a sailor's daughter, and, therefore, the new captain takes the old captain's daughter. Sir Joseph marries his first cousin, and the former captain marries the bumboat woman who has long cherished an unrequited affection for him and the opera winds up with a grand conglomerate climax of all the absurd things sung throughout. Not the least of them is this, where the captain, now a common sailor,sings to Little Buttercup:

CAPT. I shall marry with a wife, In my humble rank &f life! ,k And you, my own, are she. V* I must wander to and fro,

But wherever I may'go, I shall never be untrue to thee!

ALL. What, never? No, never! What, never? CAPT. H'mm—hardly ever!

Nonsense, of course, but of the most entertaining kind and most artistically arranged, for Gilbert never designed any plot with more careful art than that of his amusing travesty of the ordinary opera.

HOBTICULTURE.

Monthly Meeting of the Vigo Horticultural Society.

At the Residence of Mrs. Julia Hosford.

Full Report of the Proceedings.

The Horticultural Society, according to appointment, met at the residence of Mrs. Julia B. Hosford. .Notwithstanding the unfavorable weather there was a large attendance.

Report on small fruits by Mr. Pegg: Currant bu»hes seemed to have suffered greatly, and were nearly all killed raspberries much injured, as also were the finer varieties ot" grapes cherries nearly all killed, and peaches all dead. Rev. Abbey asked ?bout future prospects for fruit consumers. Answered that we would have to depend upon imported fruit from other localities. This was not agreed with by all the members, most of whom thought there would be sufficient to satisfy home demand buc none for export. There would probably be plenty of strawberries. At this juncture, Mr. Wm. Mack, who had slipped quietly out, entered with a bough from a peach tree, containing a large number of swelling buds, entirely uninjured. This raised a fcangh at Mr. Pegg's expense, but he explained by saying that in town, where the trees were protected, the peaches were not killed. Vf

Report by Mr. Whidden on vegetables: Cabbage, very poor crop, but demands high price parsnips, plenty and low onions, rising in price potatoes, plenty, but quoted high, esp-cially in the East. Attention called to gardening: hot beds indispensable, and should be made now. Practical information for their construc tion: Select southeast location, protected on north and west take fresh manure from the livery stable, and fork it into the bed, which should be made of boards inches by 6 inches. Spread the manure from 16 inches to iS inches thick, allowing it to extend 12 inches outside of the frame: cover with light, rich soil 6 inches, and plant seeds at once 60 that they may start with the weeds cover* with glass, and when the seeds come up, give plenty of air and water.

Report on flowers by Mr. J. O. Jones was so much admired that the society ordered it published in full.

Short discussion on the advisability of publishing ths essays, reports, etc. of the society whether or not they would be of public interest general opinion in the affinitive a desire expressed that the reporters attend the meetings.

Adjourned for a regular Horticultural dinner which all that need be said in its praise.

Messrs. Potter, Martvn, Scott and Jones, who had been appointed to draft re-oiutions in regard to the death Mr. Corey Barbour, reported through Capt Potter, who read a verv touching and beautiful memorial which will be published in full. It was heard with bowed heads and saddened hearts. Mr. Barbour was one»of the early and active members of the society and always seemed to enjoy the meetings with his whole heart. Never had he seemed happier than at the last one, only a moath before. It brought the thought of death very near to those friends who had grown up together with him and they wondered sadly which of them would be the next to drop away from the pleasant circle.

The hour for discussion having arrived, the reports, essays, &c., were postponed, and the question opened by Mrs. Hosford with a very expressive poem entitled "What Shall We Do with Our Children?" embodying the idea that as God requires us to obey His laws, so our children mu#t obey our laws. Mr. Mack being next called upon said he believed in whipping that it didn't hurt the child much and it did the parent a vast amount of good. There was nothing in he world would so effectually cool him off For his part he was always very careful not to command his children to do anything till he was 6ure they would do it

Mr. Abbey thought that person* even though they"were not parents might say something to interest others. One who expected to train children must train himself. He believed So omon was right in his law "Spare the rod and spoil the child," because he was inspired, but compared the "rod" to control kindness or love. Use the rod as a last resource, but have the child understand it must be ab« solutely controlled by your superior wisdom backed by your power. Teach them to control themselves and strive to give them anew heart. Mrs. Modesett never had any children of her own, but had had control of a great many. Is opposed to corpofal punishment advised parents to teach children the Golden Rule, quoted the Horticultural Society as an example of love and harmony referred to Ingersoll as having been driven into infidelity by the harshness of his father. This point was contested by several members. Mrs. Weiss had had no experience. Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Soule, having both written essays on this subject had nothing more to say. Mrs. Hulman thought people should understand the different dispositions of children and govorn accordingly. Mr. Buff, haying had BO little experience gave his time to some one else. Mrs. Riddle especially advised teaching trades to boys. Mrs. Gilbert agieed with Mr. Abbey. Mrs. Pence advocated governing with kindness as far at possible. Mrs. Gilbert agreed with Mr. Abbey. Mrs. C. W. Barbour laid great stress on confidence between parents and children. Teach them to work but teach them something else also. Mrs. ShulM would teach children to follew the conscience and then carefully educate the conscience. Mrs. H. D. Scott read her argument in the form of an interesting essay. Mr. Jones had read a paper on the subject at a previous meeting* Mr. Whidden read his argument and considered the most essential thing to be the foriaatian of correct habits, habits formed by the precepts and example of parents. Capt. Potter directed his remarks especially to the suppression of improper literature,

Establish a conscience, drive out envy and keep the heart pure. Mr. SchultB took as the central idea in his argument the study of phrenology, advised parents and teachers to study it and they would find it an index to the child's character. Mr. Pegg had had no experience of his own, but thought the msst important thing was to commence right. He was decidedlv opposed to whipping. No school that was net industrial should exist, work should be a part of every child's education. Mr. Hulman considered the most important thing to be decision that there was more danger after they left home and that the bist children went from households where there was most love.

H. D. Scott could give his answer in tinee words, "I don't know no mar. knows till his hair is gray believed in eternal progress could not apply rules of the pa»t to the present advocated the doctrine of love the law of kindness thought parents could not whip children unless they were angry and therefore it should not be done.

Mr. Soule did not believe in corporal punishment when angry the capacity to train children we get partly by nature, partly by experience advised parents to be Christians we must stimulate and guide the better nature of children discipline is needful and wisdom to use discipline commence with a system and have a clear idea of what you wish inculcate goodness, usefulness, industry, honesty and Christianity. Mr. Martyn thought first law was to have order and authority do not emphasize tenderness at the expense of discipline family is God's nursery everything in nature is based on law and this is of the fir&t importance.

Discussion closed by Mrs. Hosford: Every law has a penalty and there would not be a penalty if it were not necessary: we must compel our children to do right or suffer the penalty. President Gilbert made a few supplementary remarks he did not know how to govern children, thought much depended on surroundings make a good home for them minister to the body as well as the mind teach them to obey in small things or they will not in greater.

It is a difficut matter to correctly report a discussioa of this kind. Sometimes one member will 6neak several times, frequently several will speak at once and very often they will branch off into 6ides issues, losing signt of the main question. An effort has been made to uive the central or leading idea of each participant, in his own language. As will be 6een, there is a wide diversity of opinion, each having much to recommend it, but after all the question is not settled and never can be. The greater the number of children parents have to bring up, the more keenly do they feel their inability, vet this discus 6ion has awakened many new thoughts and afforded much pleasure and profit to the society.

The question for the next meeting, proposed by Rev. Abbey, reads as follows: Is it expedient and is it policy, based upon m«ral principles or political economy, for our government to exclude Chinese immigration?
