V "• " A WEATHER prophet sayr? * "THE mammoth and intricate machinery of the atmosphere, complicated by mysterious solar agencies, MAY evolve quite a dif­ ferent season from that which we have sketched." If that means more rain, with frequent showers, followed by wet weather, we guess he is about right. It looks that way to us, anyway; but the complicated solar agencies may prevent the rain being accompanied by wet .weather. We can't always tell. Decoration Day in McHenry. Arrangements to observe Decoration Day in an appropriate manner, in this village, have been made, and ajl are in­ vited to meet at G. A. R. Hall, at 1:30 p.

An old cat took to the same nest and brought forth a litter of kittens. The old hen continues to brood over the nest of kittens and thinks they are as cute as can be. When the lieu leaves the nest for something to eat the cat goes with her and seems to act as her special guardian, and both seem to be happy in the partnership. Dan says it is a foul on the first base, but neither of the players in the game seem to care to declare the other out. .lage, the past few days.

The audience was one of the most brilliant that ever assembled in the Chicago Opera House, and the occasion wae a triumph for the company as well as for the work. All the principals of the troupe were called before the curtain, as were also the author and the composer, Messrs. Harry B. Smith, and Reginald de Koven. The opera abounds in the most diverting comedy situations, and the entrance of the Don and his squire, Sancho Panza, upon their "fiery and untamed steeds" excited roars of laughter and applause. Mr. de Koven'S music is most melodious, and is, at the same time, of high artistic merit. There are several comic songs in the opera, which are bound to become popular. The opera is an emphatic suc­ cess. The cast includes all the favorites of the Bostonians, which is one 6f the most popular 'opera companies now traveling.

THE opening Banquet and Ball, at the Parker House, on Thursday evening last, although not attended by a targe crowd, was undoubtedly one of the finest enter*- tainmente of the kind ever given in this county. The Hotel had receutly been renovated, changed and refurnished throughout, and therefore was in better shape than ever before since it was built, and mine host Parker bad kud himself out to give an entertain ment worthy of the occasion, and that he succeeded those who were present fully testify. The music was fine, and the BaAqaet--words are inadequate to describe it, and there­ fore we shall not make the attempt. We can simply say no wedding feast ever ex­ celled the lay-outspread before the guests at the Parker House on Thursday even­ ing last. .

W. N. Low, ex-president of the Illinois Sportsmen's Association, says: It is against the law to fish with nets and seines. The way to enforce the statute IS to communicate with Dr. Bartlett, of Quiney, State fish commissioner. There is a close season. The law regarding that question is as follows: "That it shall be unlawful for any per­ son or persons to catch or kill any fish of the species commonly called black, green, silver, or white bass, pike, pickerel, salmon, land lock salmon, jack salmon, croppy or grass baes^suri fish or sun perch, or other fish commonly known as game fish, in or upon any of the rivers, creeks, streams, ponds, lakes, sloughs, bayous or other water courses, wholly within or running through the State of Illinois, with any seine, net, wire or other FrankL eslie'a Popular Konthly K tor June. Frederic Arthur Bridgman, the Oriental­ ist painter, is characterized by Mrs. Schuy­ ler Van Rensselaer, iu Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for Juue, as a typical American artist, because in art, "just now, it is the cosmopolite who is typical, the thorough-paced American who is ex­ ceptional." Some admirable engravings and fac-similes of Mr. Bridgman's pictures are given. Another notable attraction of this number is a profusely illustrated article on that "mile of history," the Bowery, of New York City, by Felix Old boy, the well known local historian, who seems to have inherited Irving's charm of style and fund of Gotham-lore. Other interesting illustrated articles are: "The Life of a Longshoreman," Dr. Guernsey's concluding paper on "Frederick the Great," "Women Wearers of Men's Clothes," "A Mysterious and Dreaded Saurian" (the Gila Monster), "The Last of the Mohicans," and "Traveling by Air." The short stories, poems, litera­ ture and other miscellany, supplied in the abundance which is characteristic, of this magazine, make up an uncommonly rich number.
