“The Play” of Year«
The first play I ever saw was th< one I
liked the least, and remember almost the
best. It was the “Battle of Waterloo,” at
Astley’s. In the sensation scene of the
day, the English army, drawn up in two
lines in red, occupied the prompter’s side
of the stage. The French army, drawn up
in two lines of blue, each line consisting
of exactly the same number of men in both
parties, occupied the O. P., or opposite
side to the prompter. Two vivandieres,
the French in blue and the English in red,
each with a small drum round her waist,
a drumstick in her right hand and a Mask
of s irits in her left, occupied the corners
of 1 ue stage nearest the footlights, as
corner-women. From them the van-lines
of the two armies converged inward to the I
back cloth, each third man on either side
having a cannon in front of him. The top
cannons, naturally, met mouth to month;
and behind them, wi’h drawn swords
pointed upward to an uncertain kind of
F uturity, stood on either side Napoleon
Bonaparte, and the duke of Wellington.
After a deathly pause of expectation,
consequent on the top cannon-man on the
French side missing his cue, the signal
was given. Every third man ‘struck a
match—
“To each gun a lighted brand,
In a bold, determined hand;”

Mr. E. W. Dickinson, of Springfield,
Mass., has probably the best private col
lection in the country, there being in it
about 600 eggs of Nortli American birds.
There are the big swans’ and eagles’ eggs,
the tiny white globules in a downy nest
constructed by humming-birds, besides
the odd, cone-shaped affairs laid by the
guillemot, probably so fashioned by na
ture that tliay might not roll off the bare
rocks where they are invariably laid.
Rare eggs, like all rarities, come high, the
eggs of the great auk, of which there are
but three in this country, being rated at
fl!50. From this the price runs down to
5 cents. Common owls’ eggs are worth
from fU to 13 each, the gray owls’ of the
north being worth $50, however. Of
hawks’ eggs those of the duck hawk bring
$12 each, and those of the pigeon hawk
are still more valuable.
Beside his remarkable collection of eggs.
Mr. Dickinson has one of birds which, un

private houses mounted on stands, are

the owner should wish a flat-cured bird

would be to remove the cotton-wool and
