I - . m - w If The story of "Les Miseriiblcs," by Miss Benfey, was pronounced one of the finest attractions of the kind ever heard in Portland, Miss Benfey is of beautiful and commanding presence, and the pathos, feeling, humor and serenity dis played in her must dramatic relation of tho story moved tho audience from effusive tears to convulsions of laughter. Her mastery over her listeners was supreme. No theme cpuld give her powers liner scojie than the extremes of sentiment contained in tho characters of Jean Valjean, Cosette and die bishop. Thy national reputation Miss Benfey possesses has the absolute sanction of everv person who heard her in the large auditorium yesterday afternoon. Mie tells tho story "The Tale of Two Cities" this evening. Oregonian, July 15th. Taken as n whole, the Chautauqua As sociation has probably the finest aggre gation of learning unci skill of any as sembly in the Union, excepting the old Chautauqua of New York. A persistent effort has been made to gather those first class instructors, and a reasonableness of rates prevails that must finally, if continued, draw to Gladstone Park at the annual gatherings immense numbers of students. Oregonian, 15th. . The lecture yesterday by Chaplain Baleman of Fort Sherman, Idaho, was a delight to all who heard it. Few speak ers are better equipped. We shall hear lroni me unapiaiu again. The Chautauqua board have engaged tbe wonderful Edison Vitascope on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings of next week in addition to lectures and music. This remarkable instrument is the wonder of the age, and Edison's crowning feat in electrical dis covery. Without seeing it one can hardly imagine such possibilities of realistic action, men marching, boys snowballing, horses large as life, fire flaming and leaping, steam engines rushing with all the vivid speed and smoke of reality. It is the lad of the age to 6ee the vitascope, every Chautau qua this year counts itself fortunate to have it on i s platform. CAMl'KHS.

BRYAN'S DAY. Written for the Courier -Why this rudi on the dusty road Neath the heat of July's sun. Of fathers, mothers, youths and maids, Composing one con'inuous throng, Diesstd in garments blight and clean, Perfumed with odors of the hay ; It is a sight not often se n. The secret's, its Bryan's day. The farmers leave their ripening grain, The sickle is luid within the shade. And aside is thrown the adz and plane ; No csket for the day is made. They went their way with one accord, I Where once the redman's villags lay, An orderly, neat and gentle crowd. Just listen, 'tis Bryan's day. Mothers leave their kitchen floor " t All unswept,and yet, perchance, In their haste, the parlor door Is left unturned against the tramp; Just to teach their rising youth Not to throw their worth away And jealous of our nations worth Began anew on Bryan' day. Where once tbe wild fawn had its lair, Where once was seen but the oaken green. Is now adorned with the odorous fir, Which lends a grace to summer sheen ; 'Twas here within the cooling shade, The rippling water not far away, Within a tfrove sweet nature made. We met to hear what Bryan would say. From mossy rocks beneath our feet, From rustic seats so neatly formed, Ten thousand voices came t greet The blows against the nations wrong Hope revived, was heard again. "We'll vet remove old l'iutic's sway; On a golden cross our chief was slain, We'll vote for Urvan another flay." Clackamas, Or., July 12. Win. Phillips. Fifiv yeaisago where the Chautn"ua groves of to-day are was hut an oak grub atch, and a large village ol UIJCKWius ndians stood just Hi the north end of where the Clackamas bridge now stands. Around a little lake of water which stands near the grove tne year round, and which I forgot to mention in the verse, we used to find the wild deer and CHtch the young lavns in summer. Win. V.

RUSHES The Enterprise Lied. OitBooH City, July 14. (To the Editor) 1 suppise you noted the honor ablo hihI manly way in which the Enterprise attacked me lait week. Lest silence on my part iiiuhl be con strued us admitting that there was more or less truth in the Enterprise's charge) i t1Ht I had levie 1 tribute on ChauUuqua talent and colored my reports in The OreiMiii in according to the fee received as "tip," I will say that there is not a word of truth in the Knlerprisa state ment, ft is absolutely false in every particular, and to presume that tho writer of it did not know it was falsa is to presume that, he M not Intelligent. A mere re( reiioe to the reports that ho alleges were colored will convince any man that the charge is not true. J. M. La.itence REALTY TRANSFERS.
