IX 3IAH.Y AXX LAMB.
(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.

Chariest Lamb.

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-

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.
It Is Interesting to know that Mary
Lamb's Shakespcaretn labors did not end
with her collaboration with her b.olhsr.
Among the children whom she taught
with the little .Emma Isola. whese adop

her mind when she listened to her gentle
teacher's reading or the manuscript of
the "Talcs." Tot this reason Elbsrt Hub

of the Justly famous "Concordance."
.THE CANAL .BILL.
Vote Will Be Taken br at Least One
House.
NEW TOniC. April 13. 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

are not willing to go Into the campaign
without having put each of them through
one house.

ELGIXSHIRn CHARTERED TO LOAD
TVHE AT ON THE SOUND.
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.

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.

Severe
Nervous
Disorders
That Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People have cured ob
stinate cases of locomotor ataxia,
partial paralysis, and St. Vitus'
dance, is the best evidence that
they will cure all lesser nervous
disorders, because the principle in
the treatment of all nervous dis
eases is the same. Nervousness is
a question of nutrition. Food for
the nerves is what is needed and
the best nerve food in the world
is Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills
for Pale People
Dr. Wimam!' Pink Pills brPsle People are never
sold by the doitn or hundred, but always In pick
agis. Atall druggists, or direct from the Dr. Wil
liams Mtdldno Company. Schenectady, N. Y., BO

"Good-bye Fapa.
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.
