On ono of tlio prlnclpnl streets of Portland Is sltuntcd a rcstnurnnt bo twecn n dentist's parlor nnd n 0I100 shop. Tho steaks thoy dish tip may bo tondor enough, but thu lndlcn tlons socm mightily significant. It would not bo too outrageously Incredulous, considering the strcnu oustty of tho man, to find T. Hooao volt coming In with tho South I'ol under hlu nrm when ho arrives from his llltlu hunting trip. No 1h not the man to bo oittduno by any wollycoddla that over lived, and tho exploits of Cook mid 1'oary will naturally urgo hlin on to further nctlvillcs, Would not an opi-rn Iiouko pay In St. Johns? Thcro nro many lovers of thu play In this city, nnd to sat Isfy ono's craving for tho thontro It makes a lato nnd tlrcsomn journey to go to I'ortlarul In tho evenings, Many cities of much less population than St. Johns possess well pntronlzed play houses, nnd Its closonesn to thu city of I'ortlnud should not prove a serious detriment to mi opera Iiouhu horo enjoying u good patronage. A young lady employed as n domestic In a reuldancu adjoining tho jail at Nevada, Mo., wiih pursuaded last Monday by two prisoners of thu handle tp aid (hum to escape by furnished them with u file. Tho plan of filing tho bars was discovered by tho sheriff nnd thu men then In formed him whoru they had procured tho file. Tho ulrl. foarlnu that alio would bo arrested shot herself' While wo certainly do not uphold tho young woman's action In attempting to as sist In tho escape of the criminals, It can safely bo asserted thnt n moro contemptible pair of miserable speci mens of humanity never before ex Istcd thnu those two who rowarded tho young girl's mistaken kindness by butrjiylng her to tho sheriff. In thu death of Harrlmap thu na tion has lost ono of Its greatest men, Ills ono great object In life was power. Ho sacrificed bis physical being by working early nnd lato nnd ntcd so long ns llfo shall last. Tho wonders of history, tho Intricacies of grammer, tho mysteries of geomo try, the difficult problems In nrllh mctlc nnd tho test words In orthog rnpuy nil pass In silent review ns memory lingers among tho dead days of long ngo. In mind's eyo tho pa tlont, tolling figure of tho podagogui stands out clearly nnd familiarly, nnd how tenderly our feelings hnvo grown toward him who planted our youth ful footsteps in tho path of loarnlng, What was then deemed harBh nnd Btern In his discipline all can now sco how wlso and considerate ho was nnd how utterly blind tho boy hood visions really were. How quick ly then enmo tho enres of life, tho difficulties, tho responsibilities nnd tho vicissitudes. Existence soon took on a sterner huo when tho school days had passed Into history. Clouds enmo where only bright sunshine ex lstcd before. The dally toll, tho struggle for bread nnd butler was on, and us mind onto moro regret fully rovcrts to tho present It seems that It waa n continual struggle over sluco. Streaks of sunshine occasion ally brightened tho pathway, but the gloom and tho shadow nro over hover lug near. As wo watch tho happy throng pass by a spirit of chcorful ncss and good cheer seems to per vade tho atmosphere, tho burden lightens nnd tho cares of llfo seem not ipillo so heavy to boar. To bo a school boy again what would wo not all glvo? Tho brightest and best period of human existence, when thu world assumes Its most rosy huo. Let tho children nil enjoy these days lo tholr utmost, for thoy terminate much too fjiilckly.
