(17C5-1S47.) Mary and Charles Lamb lived to practi cally the brother-and-slster Idyl which poets have pictured that It Is quite Impos sible for the biographer to dissociate them. When the baby brother came to gladden Mary Lamb's barren existence she Joyful ly became his sole caretaker and devoted her lone life to his physical and mental development. Many were the anxious hours spent In fanning his frail l'UIe life Into the flame which flickered through CO years of anxiety, charm and calamity. Jler devotion to his development deferred for 29 years the hereditary insanity which hovered over their childhood and, at, the same time prepared and strengthened her charge for the affectionate sacrifice which later ennobled his life. Thus, with the Infancy of Charles Lamb, began that In terdependence which distinguished their common life. With the eagerness of a child of 13 Mary Lamb taught her 3-year-old brother to read, .so that Charles always declared that he could not remember the time when he did not know how. When only 7 the nervous and timid boy was entered at Christ's Hospital to win his way among the throng of burl) lads who had there worn for hundreds of years the long tailed "blue coat worn by Edward, the "boy King," who had founded the school. Fearing lest the little brother's diminu tive stature, stuttering speech and deli cate frame might arouse the ridicule of the older boys, Mary used to throw her shawl around her and run down to watch them at play until the recess hour was over. This attracted the attention of Coleridge, a big bluecoat, who In com mon with his fellows was captivated by the little fellow's wlnsomenese, and he begged to be Introduced to the faithful sister behind the grating, thus laying the foundation of that famous "50-ycar-old friendship without a dissension." While Charles was at school exhibiting a wonderful docility and aptitude for the classics, the faithful sister, who was never sent to any school, was browsing In the library of her father's patron and striv ing to keep at least one lesson In ad vance of the sorely missed brother. Of tentimes they browsed together, and so thoroughly congenial did their literary tastes become that Charles Lamb camo to think that his sister attained her uncom mon powers of mind because of rather than In spite of, the defects rjf her singu lar education. "Had I 20 girls." he writes In his famous "Essays of Ella." "they should be brought up exactly In this fash Ion. I know not whether their chance In wedlock might not be diminished by it, but I can answer for it that it maketh (If worst comes to worst) most Incomparable old maids." Other training for this glorified spinster hood was Incessant toll at home, care for an Intemperate father, nursing an Invalid mother, whose fine mind-had been warped beyond recognition by unhappy marriage, and Interminable needlework to eke out the straightened family means. Such ha rassing fatigue told so plainly on Mary Lamb's strength that the neighbors some times remarked to each other that the girl seemed "wrong In the head," yet dla not consider her mind seriously affected. Tbo father Anally lost his position through Intemperance, and- the needlework would not support the family, so Charles wes taken from school and obliged to begin his 34 years of drudgery at the "desk's dull wood." Thla counting-house monotony was lightened by the books which Mary bor rowed In order that they might study to gether the well-beloved Elizabethan age, by his friendship with Coleridge, and by tho encouragement which sister and friend gave to his modest literary beginnings. Charles Lamb wrote spontaneously; be- Chariest Lamb. (From a drawing in the British museum by G. F. Josjph. A- R. A.) cause he must he Jotted dawn on nnv convenient scrap of paper the wit. whlnv slcalltlcs and wisdom which afterward crystallized into his inimitable essays. Sometimes the brother and sister wouM Indulge in a 2-shlIling seat at the theater. This love for the drama expressed Itself later in n play written by Charles Lamli called "Mr. II.." which Mary Lamb In duced the manager of Drury Lane to ac cept. Great was her grief, consequently, when this play was hissed off the stage the first night, nor was her disappoint ment anywise lessened when she per ceived her sensitive brother chief among the hlssers. When Charles Lamb wns 20 he begnn trying his hand nt verse-making, partly In emulation of Coleridge, partly because he became greatly interested In a young lady In the neighborhood. His attachment to this young lady opened his eyes to the npparent hopelessness of his future; with a father in his dotage, a mother an In valid, a sister almost deranged by her hopeless struggle with poverty, all de pendent upon the few pounds which his clerkship brought, what outlook was there for his future. Brooding over the -struggle between love and duty brought upon him the fatal family legacy and for several weeks it was necessary -to keep him un der restraint. This attack undoubtedly affected his sister's malady nnd hastened her nervous breakdown. Worn with needlework and the dally and nightly care of the mother, whom she greatly loved, she temporarily lost her reason, and In one of her wild est frenzies brought about the calamity under whose shadow the brother and sis ter dwelt the remainder of their days. Lamb thus writes .to Coleridge: "I will give you the outlines: My poor dear, dear est sister. In a fit of Insanity has been the death of her own mother. I wns nt hand only time enough to snatch the knife out of her grasp. She is at present in a mad house, from whence. I feaV, she must be moved to nn hospital. ... With m "the former things are passed nway' and I have something more to do than to feel God Almlchty have us well In his keep, C. Lamb." From that moment dutv gained the vic tory, nnd Charles Lamb, renounced all his aspirations and hopes o'f earthly bless ings to devote his maturity entirely to th" care of that "poor dear, dearest sister' ho hod rn-rlfleed her youth for Mm. A' tbough but 21 when he took the vows of relf-abregatlon h' youth was gore for ever. When Mary Lamb's mind again cleared she was in su-h frame of mind that she bel'eved he-s'lf 'purl"ed and nb snlved from the h rro- committed when she was not responsltl. and always re-f-rred to hT mother with such ca timers and natu alness that many believed her ignorant of the tragedy. Exhaustion from nurs'ng an old aunt who had made her home with them again brought on a violent attack. These Ill nesses, as her brother affectionately called them, recurred annually, sometimes more frequently. Fortunately a nervous sleep lessness gave warning of the dread ap- MARY ANN LAMB Seymour Esuon.) DIRECTED BY PROF. SEYMOUR EATON proach. and Mary so fully comprehended their Import that she hereclt packed a. straight-Jacket when they started on their Journeys. They were frequently met go ing across Hampstead Heath hand In hand to the asylum, both crying bitterly. It Is probable that this ever-watchful solici tude and sympathy or Charles part pre vented a recurrence of hl early attack and kept his reason unclouded to the end. During her Intervals of saneness Mary Lamb was again the devoted elster, guard ing her brother's work from interruption, making homelike and coay their frequently changed quarters and unostentatiously welcoming their literary friends to Lamb's famous Wednesday evenlr'gs. Bh too, was greatly loved nnd respected by the choice circle of splrl a Hazlltt. Words worth. Batry, Comwal , Leigh Hunt and Coleridge who there weekly "skimmed the cream of criticism." When Mary Lamb was "from home" her brother longed constantly fcr her re turn, writing thus to Miss Wordsworth: "To say all that I know of her would bo CHARLES AXD more than I think anybody could believe or even understand, and when I hope to have her well again with me It would be sinning against her feelings to go about to praise her. She Is older and wiser nnd better than I. and all my wretched Imperfections I cover to myself by reso lutely thinking on her goodness. She would share life and death, heaven and hell, with me. She lives but for me. and I know I have been wasting and teasing her life for five years past Incessantly with my cursed ways of going on." Here Charles Lamb touches the keynote of the tragedy. His Intemperate habits grieved his sister to the heart, and. much as they loved one another, their "dual loneliness" had a bad effect upon both. When Mary's "poor moythered wits" were clearest she was filled with apprehension of returning attacks and fearful lest such strain would finally unbalance her brother's mind nnd force him to some rash net. When Charles, on the other hand, saw her malady in creased by worrying over him he would become nervous. Irritable, remorseful, in toxicated, nnd thus hasten the return of the attack which they dreaded. He died many years before his sister, whose mind was by that time so greatly shattered that she was spared the shock of his death and lived on peacefully, re calling only the happy part of the past. The tragic existence of this famous brother and sister would not now be re membered were It not for their literary work which perpetuated the'r united per sonality. Charles Lamb will ever be re membered for his essays, full of tender ness, delicacy, pathos and quaint sur prises, and for the hUh vi'ue of h's crit ical faculty. His "Essay on the Genius of Hogarth" is by many considered the finest critical paper In the Eng'lsh tongue. And Mary will not be forgotten because of her collaboration with her brother In the "Tales from Shakespeare." which have, dcl'ghtcd so many g ne-atloro of cM'drrn. Godwin, the publisher, suggested that Mary Lamb undertnke this work, but she did not feel herself worthy until her brother swore that she had supplied nil the Id-as he ever had. So they accom P Ished It tog.ther. Charles w.ts'llng with the tragedies, while Mary took the more fantastic or humorous plays ahd right bravely did she acquit herself. Can you Imagine more tragic effort at comedy than this family presented when you consider the blackness Into which Charles Lamb dipped his pen that hi m'ght write Jokes (with tears on his face) for his half-mad sister, while she. faithful, afflicted soul. In her moments of sanity was trying to make the humor of Shakespeare palatable to children? Both were so saturated in Elizabethan diction that It was a pecu- Mary Ann Lamb. llarly easy task for them when they could not use the great poet's exact wording, as they frequently did. to approximate It closely from their own vocabulary. It is good to think that this venture landed them financially away above their simple necessities so that In their o'd age they enjoyed to the full the luxury of giving. After Chares had parsed away. It was his aged sitter's de Ight to keep up the pensions to needy friends In which they had taken such pleasure. In her last Tears the. too. was pensioned by loving friends, but the nature of her In firmity mercifully spared her that knowl edge. Happily and peacelully she was laid to rest bes'de her brother. Like Caroline Herschel. she had lived in her brother's 1 Jerest. but Ca-ollne Hcrrchel's s:lf-ef-facsment was scientific serfdom, while Mary Limb's was full partnership In a life of tragedy and ;clf-sa rl.lce.

A special to the Herald from Washington says: There will be action on the Nic aragua Canal bill by at least one houee of Congress before the end of this session. Chairman Hep burn, of the House committee on interstate and foreign commerce, will this week ask for unanimous consent to call up the bill on Tuesday, May 1, and he Is confident there will be no objection. If there should be objection he Intends to apply to the committee on rules for a special order setting May 1 for taking up the bill and he feels certain the order will be granted. Republican managers In- the Senate are not anxious to put the canal measure- through that body this session. Their policy will be to pass ths ship subsidy bill In the Senate and the canal bill In the House this session. They do not desire to have either measure become a law MARY.

Xot Another Dlscnsrasred Grain Car-. rler in in e JCorthvrest Ilcllancc Makes .a Fast Run Notes. The Pacific northwest Is again without a single dlssnga gcd grain ship. So great has been the demand, and so limited the supply of grata' vessels this season, that spot ships seldom remained 'on the mar ket more than J. few hours after arr.val. The Elginshire, rhlch is the vessjl report ed fixed yesterday, arrived on the Sound about a week ivgg, with inward cargo, and could have been fixed half a dozen times since thefi at 40 shillings, but has steadily refusal that figure, and nlo .turned down & lumber charter at a rata which brokers in this city consider "bet ter than 41s 3d for wheat. The rate paid tho vessel yesterday was not made pub lic, but is believed to be 41s 3d or very close to it, as she has steadily held out fur that figure. The British ship Dovenby Hall, reported yesterday as chartered for Portland load ing. Is said to have the option of San Fra nclsco at tho same rate, and may post lbly get her orders off the mouth of the river and go to tho Bay city. In timed post there have been many vessels ordered to "Portland and the Sound from San P'rancisco, but sending a vessel from the Columbia River to San Francisco for a whea t cargo will come strictly under the head o new business. The Bay city has one lont ship, the Oranasla, on the disen gaged Hit. but as this vessel has lnnard cargo to be discharged and must after wards ualergo extensive repairs, she can hardly be considered available for busi ness at any definite period. MOUMOLTHSHIRC SAILS. Oriental D lner In Port Less Tlian Xlne Days. The Oriental liner Monmouthshlro crossed out from Astoria shortly after noon yesterday, and In exactly nine days after she ar, rived In the river she was hull down on her way back to the Orient. Meanwhile, stae had entered port, pent 24 hours in uuarantlne at Astoria, and then proceed to Portland, where she. dis charged 4000 '.tons of inward cargo and loaded outwaril nearly 4000 tons of cargo and 900 tons' of conL The Bteamer was drawing about 3 1 feet when she crossed out yesterday. Tho next steamer of the regu lar line will bo the big Braemar, which has carried so many record-breaking car goes out of Portland. The Braomar will be due at Portland in about 10 days, and will be followed by the Argyle. which is about due at Hong Kong to load for Portland. The Argyle has already made several trips on the Portland route, and, like the Braemiir. is an Immense carrier. She has been off this, route for several months, , IIAD SI30W DISPATCH. Drltlab Sblp Stronaa Was Searftr Fonr Months Scurlnjr a Carita. Thn British ship Stronsa, which has been on the Sound since lost Deounber, is at lost loaded and ready for sea. Part of her delay was duo to some repairs which were needed when she entered the Sound, but the most of it was due to tbe wide lati tude given her charterers by the owners, her lty days not commencing until nearly three months after her arrival on the Sound. Since she reached port last De cember, 36 grain ships have sailed from Portland, and nine have soiled from the Sound. The Sound fleet, which has been tjf very small proportions this season, is picking up a little this monui. and two ships have already sailed with, wheat car goes, leaving six on spot to load. As two of these vessels brought lrrward cargo, they will not "be ready to load In time to clear thin month, but tbe April fleet will probably be the largest that has left the Sound In any month this season. JOII.V COOKE ARRIVES. April Fleet Reinforced br Another Wheat Carrlex. The British ship John Cooke arrived In yesterday afternoon. 46 days from Shang hai. The passage Is a trifle longer than tbe average, but the Cooke is not a clip per to sail, and. considering the weather that hns been reported by trans-Pacific steamers, the craft has probably done very well. The German ship Najade is out 33 days from Nagasaki, and as she is a very fast vesrol was expected to reach port ahead of the John Cooke. The Forthbank, from Honolulu. Is also due now, having left the Island port 17 days ago. These ves sels will make a fair showing for a dull month on the' In-port list, and by ths time they are out of the way ships will be more plentiful. The thxce loaded ships are still in tha stream waiting for cargoes, and the In-veraess-shlre commenced loading wheat yesterday. She took on about 200 tons at the new Montgomery dock, and will shift back to Victoria dock to finish. The Aaplce left up in tow of the Ocklahama, and will prdbably reach Portland this afternoon. MADE A FAST RU1V. Kerr Stenmer Reliance Meets Expec tations of Her Bnllders. The new steamer Reliance was out for another builders trial trip yesterday, and rendered a very satisfactory account of herself. With but 160 pounds of steam she made the run from Portland to Kalama. a distance of 40 miles. In 2 hours 10 min utes. On the return trip, with 240 pounds of steam, she easily snowed a speed of over 21 miles an hour for a short dis tance. Some difficulty was experienced in keeping steam, owing to the poor wood se cured down the river. The new steamer caught up with the Hnssalo. while the lat ter boat was making a landing at Reeders, and for a time promised to give the crack boat of the Columbia an Interstlng race, but the steam went down and the contest was off, although the Reliance held pretty close to the big flyer all the way Into Portland. The owners and the builder of the boat were well pleased with the per formance, and think that on her final trial the steamer will do all that Is expected of her. and will easily make a round trip each day on the Portland and Dalles route. LAGUXA STILL AGROUXD. Steam Sebooner Carried on the Spit l by a Swift Current. TILLAMOOK. Or.. April 12. Tho lumber s'eamer Laguna, which went ashore on the north spit of Tillamook bar on Wed nesday morning, remains stranded and high and dry when the tide Is out. She has discharged what cargo she had for Tillamook, and it was expected she woull float oft last evening, but she fald to do so. The steamer will In all probability be gotten off. The accident was caused by the Laguna entering by a channel where there Is a swift current, and she was carried on the spit. Asrronnd In the Delaware. PHILADELPHIA. Pa., April 13.

There were, few dry eyes In tho court room when the commission re turned their verdict of "Insanity," and the unfortunate man seemed to realize the gravity of his situation as the heartbroken wifa barli, him farewell. As the officers started to lead him from the room his little daughter came to him and reaching up put her chubby arms around his neck. Between her convulsive sobs I came the pathetic words, "good-bye, I papa, I guess I'll never see you . anymore. 'r The mental breakdown which set tled as a pall over this once happy family, came after years of concen trated nervous strain and overwork had sapped the brain and nerves of their vitality. Hott different might havo been the ending had that fond father known what Mr. George H. Howard, of Marshall, His., knows today. Mr. Howard says: "The first trouble 1 noticed was Inability to sleep followed by general weakness, which continued until I had to be taken to and from my store in a carriage. Finally I had to give up and for fire months was con fined to the house with an attendant k night and day. For seventeen days and nights I never closed mycyes in sleep. I was taken to a private asy lum but in a few days they brought me back again to die. A. friend brought -me a bottle of Dr. Miles' Nervine and persuaded mo to try it. After taking one-half tho contents I began to get some sleep, and when I had used three bottles I was able to return to my store. Had I taken the nervine in the first place I would have been spared months of agoniz ing torture and an expense of nearly 8Z000." Dr. Miles' Uervine Is sold at all druggists on a positive guarantee.
