VflA the 1st dav of November, and a dull,

working hard week days, so hard that
occupation kept her from thinking that
hsr father and mother and sister all lay
in Falmouth graveyard, and what otiier
relatives she hail less near and dear were
st-attered far and wide. But this was
Sunday; and as she finished her morning
reading and looked ont of the window,
while she waited for the bell to ring for
breakfast; she could not help a dreadful
sense of loneliness settling down on her
heart. It is true there was a Bible full
of comfort before her, but she was tired,
lonely, chilly, and the day was all gloom.
She remembered it was November, the
month of Thanksgiving, and before her
rose like a vision the cosy, warm kitchen
at her old home, her mother making pies
at the cross-legged table, father filling
the brick oven always heated for that
festival use with long wood shavings;
Matty dressing up the sitting-room with
bitter-sweet and ground pine, while she
herself pared apples, strained squash or
stirred the cranberry sauce on the stove,
and without the sea sparkled and roared
close by, and- the low cedars on the
Point rustled and writhed in the keen
wind. Then she had found the old red
house small and inconvenient, and
longed to got away to see more people
and live a less quiet and monotonous
life; now she would have given anything
she could give to be back there with
those three again. She would have no

light from pest or future to be faithful
for. Nevertheless, ClaTa was and meant
to be a Christian woman. The flesh is
weak many . a time when the spirit is
willing, and she had not learned the lust,
greatest lesson of the Christian life
that we life by daily bread alone; that
even heavenly manna did not provide
for the.morrow'B food, only for to-day.
Hhe had been reading' the first four
1'aalms, and out of them but one clause
' of a versa remained with her:
"Who shall show us any good?"
She heard this over and over ; with
curious persistency; thinking of what
tier lire would prooaciy ne a Jong
stretch of hard, lonely work, a homeless
old age, a death among strangers. . Bit
. ter tears rolled down her pale face as she
entertained this spectral trouble, and
pittied herself so earnestly for that which
as yet was not here. There are thousands
like her, poor child, thousands who bor
row trouble, milliona beside who have it
vritkont borrowing! but of these last she
did not think.
Strangely enough, the minister who
preached that day in the church she ha
bitually attended, took for his text the
Tery lino that haunted her. . He ac
knowledged that this was a common
query among the unhappy of this world,
but went on to say:
"If we cannot really find any good
which is a proposition I do not mean to
dispute, since a person in the state of
mind which asks that question is unable
and unwilling, , both,' to see goodness,
even if it were found for them let us
look for evil.There is enough of that ly
ing about us in every path; we are not
any of us, 'all alone unhappy,' though
we are apt to think so. If there is a soul
in this asscmbly-which has never asked
this question in bitterness of spirit, then,
oh, dear soul Met me beseech yori this
very day to begin and see what evil yon
can find beside your own, to keep it
company.' Go and measnreyour sorrows
by your neighbor's: put plummet and
line to next door or next room miseries,
and find out where in the scale of human
wretchedness you stand. It is a real
comfort to the mind of man to define and
establish its position. If you are once
aware of evil, you can do something to
wards its "mitigation, and your own bit
tar experience will help you to sympa-
. tbizo with others, it may be to help
them ; though that is scarce to be expect
ed from one who disbelieves in rood.
This is a good day to begin; it is almost
time for the feast of Thanksgiving, and
yon who are not thankful, since the day
gives yon no occupation, ouirht at least
to discover others who are also unthank
ful, and tell them how much less their
sorrows are than yours. If yon are
Christians, or think yon are, go and
preach to them these bad tidings of trib
ulation, and see what audiences you will
have. Since you do not accept the gos
pel for yourselves, except in name, go
and see bow others live without it. Yes;
go fill your sonls with husks, and then
come bsxik, if you can not come till then,
to your Father's house, and sit down and
make merry in honor of your own repent
ance," Clara heard no further; this strange
outlook from her own standpoint so
shamed and confronted her that she
went home astonished at hersolf, yet in a
sh:U of despondence still, for she did not
kndw what to do, where to find another
discouraged human being. She was a
direct,, simple-minded creature, in the
best sense of "simple," and so the ser
mon came home to her for herself; not
for her neighbors. She looked about
her at the tea table that evening with a
new insight; was it possible that she was
to find unhappiness right under her
eye? Itmight.be .so, she thought, as
' she looked at Miss Allen, an lderly wo
man, who had ft room on the fourth
story, just above her own, and went out
dressmaking. Clara had never spoken
to her before, but to-night she happened
to sit next to her, and observed that her
face was sad as well as grave. '
! "It has been a disagreeable day. Miss
Allen, ' she said by way of making con
versation. ..
"It has been a dreadul day," returned
the poor woman with a sigh.
"Did you get out to church?" asked
Clara. - v ' .;, ;r-,.
"Oh, no! this weather gives me the
rheumatism so, I can scarcely come to
my meals. " 1 ;
Here waa an opening. One word led
to another, and Clara found that the
poor woman was bo disabled by paia
that her work was delayed or suspended,
her daily bread precarious, and besides
Deing poor sue was inendiess ana no
longer young. Here, indeed, she found
evil, but finding it, forgot her own mis
eries in consoling another's. It was not
much to bring Miss Allen into her room,
where hor one Snnday evening luxury, a
small fire, filled an open grate, and
where an easy rocker rested the half
crippled limbs of the suffering woman.
She rested here for an hour or two, told
the young girl her sad story of loss, and
nitied Clara's loneliness, and then crept
up to her own bed, cheered and helped.
Itll seem Bo good , she sain, to
tlunk you're right under me. I shall
not feel hall so lonesome. i
Knock on the floor, then, if you re ;
ill in the night and want me," Clara an
swored. "I shall be glad to help yo if
I can," and she went back to her room,
full of plans to make Miss Allen more ;
comfortable; she would carry her up one
of the flannel sheets she had brought
from Falmouth, and paste one of her
windows with strips of paper about the
sash edges, it was so near her bed. Sue
went to rest in quite another temper
from that of the morning, though she
did not know it. The next day had its
own work, the dull routine of school,
the recurrent lessons, the stupid children.
One was absent. "Do any of yon know
where Sally Blair is to-day, she asked.
"Pleaso'in, she's down with a broke
leg " said a boy who lived next door to
theBlairs. So, after school, Clara went
down into Elm street and hunted up the
house. It was au old brown tenement,
where four families lived, but inquiries
enough led her to the back room on the
second story, and opening the door to a
gruff "come in," she found Sally
stretched on a cot in the corner, her
half-paralyzed father in a chair by the
fire, smoking a clay pipe, her mother at
the wash-tub by the window, two dirty
babies tumbling on the floor, and the
whole room filled with that indescribable
odor of dirt, trrease frying, soapsuds and
tobacco, that is so often the only atmos
phere the poor know. Mrs. Blair wipod
her hands on her apron and set a chair;
the man nodded aiM laid down his pipe;
the twins looked up in surprise, and
Sally began to cry.
Certainly Clara had found evil here,
Sally was so glad to see her, however.
that she felt it repaid her coming, and
the twins ceased their noisy play while
she sat there talking tenderly and gently
to the child, who had become a burden
instead of a help to that poverty-stricken
family. When she at last left them,
promising to come again, and picked her
way back through the filthy, foggy
streets to her boarding house, lust within
the door she met the table girl coming
out of the dining room with some tea
and toast on a waiter.. It was for Miss
Allen, and Clara volunteered to take it
tip. She found her friend quits helpless,
and very tearfully glad to see a kind
face. Clara made her more comfortable
in a few minutes, and scarcely observed
that her own tea was cold and her butter
soft because she came late to her supper.
Her Bible that night seemed to tell
another story to her heart; her little room,
full of the home tokens and touches
she had brought with her, seemed no
longer sad; she was filled with the
contrast between its appliances and com
forts, and the four bare walls, the wood
en chairs, the uneasy bed above her, and
the grimy, oppressive poverty of the
Blairs' homo. She did not even remem
ber to pour out her own sorrows in her
prayers, she felt such an earnest desire
that these others should be helped and
comforted.
Now she had two new interests in hor
life, and the days seemed too short. She
could make Sally a warm sack out of one
she had to spare, and little woolen dresses
for the twins from a skirt that had out
lived its usefulness as far as she was con
cerned; also, out of her scant earnings
she could how and then take the child an
orange or a few crackers. There was
daily visit to pay Miss Allen, a book from
the free library to read to her when the
room was not too cola to sit in, a flower
perhaps, that some kindly scholar had
brought her to light up the invalid's
room, or a fresh piece of toast which she
persuaded, the cook to let ut make her
self.
Bo the davs went on towards Thanks
giving; other people beside Clara hai
heard that sermon which so impressed
her. Mrs. Armstead, whose husband was
the pastor of the church, had taken it to
her own heart; her boy went to school
where Clara was a teacher, and liked Miss
King with a boyish enthusiasm. His
mother, too. had watched her sad, deli
cate face across the church, and now that
Thanksgiving time drew near, she thought
of the girl with kindly provision, and
went one Saturday to see her. Clara was
both pleased and surprised, and showed
all her better self, as we all do to genuine
sympath. -1 .
"Are you going home to Thanksgiv
ing, my dear?" said Mrs. Armstead.
Clara's eyes filled. "I haven't any
home!" she said; and the words had
scarcely escaped when a gentle kiss
touched her forehead.
"Poor little soul!" said the motherly
visitor. ' Xou are then the very person
I want to see. You must come and take
your Thanksgiving dinner with us;
Johnny thmkg Miss King is 'just bully.
Forgive the slang, dear, it is Johnny's
greatest compliment, and yon ought to
know Mr. Arnjstead, since you attend his
church. I shall expect you right after
service; don't forget." i .
And with another kiss she took leave.
A little thing to do, perhaps, but givirf
a great pleasure. Clara felt as if the sun
shone into her room all that day, and in
the church porch the next morning, a
bow and smile from the minister's wife
seemed to make the church itself home
like. Thanksgiving day came at last; but be
fore it came Clara had learned its lesson;
in the want and suffering of others she
found fresh knowledge of her own com
forts and blessings; works had vindicated
and rekindled her faith; her prayers
were vitalized by the spirit of Him who
came to seek and save the lost; and shar
ing His labor she shared also His recom
pense. . It was with a heart fully attuned
to tbe hour that she sat down in her seat
to hear Mr. Armstead's sermon, and as
turned to her Bible, to follow his scrip
ture reading, her eye fell again on that
text of query; and with a full heart she
read and received it all.
"There be many that say, who will
show us any good? Lord, lift thou up
the light of thy countenance upon ns.
Thou hast put gladness in my heart more
than in the time that their corn and their
wine increased. I will both lay me down
in peace and sleep, for Thou, Lord, only
malcest me to dwell in safety."
Clara's question was answered.
How a Duchess Should Receive Her
Gpests. - Bulcs for receiving your
guests, if yon are a Duchess: Your ser
vants in livery will introduce your
guests from the ante-chamber, calling
out their names, and they on entering
will make you bows and grimaces by the
dozen. You also must go through "your
exercise. If the guest is a duke, stand
straight up; and if a marquis, half way
up; if a count, a little way up; if a baron,
just bend a little the hinges of your
knees; and as for a mere gentleman, any
common week-day inclination will do.
Yonr servants, too, must be drilled.
Monsieur le Prinee Gortchakoff! This
must be pronounced in a loud and dis
tinct voice, the doors of the saloon must
be banged open, and the buzz of the
saloon must cease for a while. The de
scending scale of dignity must be
observed, down through the subordinate
visitors, until you hear in a soft soprano,
on G flat, just audible, Monsieur
Guibollard. Then you will see squeez
ing through, the door a little ajar, a
humble individual holding on to his
claque hat by the tips of his fingers,
while his knees encourage each other by
sympathetic and involuntary meetings.

A Danbury man offended one of the

party a few evenings ago. A day or two
later he went into the the store and in
quired if she had "gentleman's gloves."
"Yea." "Y want ft pair he said. "Who
are they for?" she asked, looking him
straight in the eyee. , " Why tatmo,"
he gasped, turning scarlet under the in
sinuation in her inquiry.
Sam Houston's Duel.
' " . -. -i-f
Simpson county, though peaceful
enough in those latter days, was in its
earlier history the scene of encounters
that have passed into history. Within
its borders, or adjacent thereto, the hot
blooded Tennesseans were wont to settle
their affairs of honor, and the crack of
the duellists' pistol not unfrequently re
sounded in the quiet forests. Jear
Adairviile, in the edge of Logan county,
General Jackson fought Dickinson for
the honor of the woman he loved, and
stood like a statue after struck by his
antagonist's shot. It was on this oc
casion that he proved his iron will by
telling his second that "had he been
shot through the heart, he would have
lived long enough, to kill his antago
nist." Six miles south of Franklin, on the
farm of II. J. Duncan, 200 yards from
the Tennessee line, was fought a duel
which created wide-spread excitement
throughout the Union, owing" to the
reputation of the principals. - In l&'M
General Sam Houston was a member of
Congress from the Nashville district in
Tennessee, and sending homo for distri
bution among his constituents a number
of public documents, he claimed that
Curry, the postmaster at Nashville, sup
pressed and failed to doliver them, and
denounced him as a scoundrel. For
this Curry sent him a challenge by
ueneral lute. Houston refused to re-
ceive the message, as ho stated.
"from i
such a contemptible source, throwing
it on the ground and stamping on it.
General AY liite said he was not sur-
prised, as no one expected Houston
light. To thia Houston retorted, "Do
you try me." Of course a challenge
loUowed from , White, which Houston
promptly accepted. The terms and
conditions were: ".Fifteen feet dis
tance; holster pistols; time, sunrise."
The place chosen, as stated, was in
Simpson county. On the 23d day of
September, 1826, the parties met at
the designated point with their seconds.
The fact that a duel was to be fought
hail gone abroad, and a number of
persons . had secreted themselves near
the field to witness the aaair, a lacs
unknown to either principals or sec
onds. After the first shots had been
exchanged and White had fallen to
the ground, the people rushed to the
spot. Houston seeing them and fearing
an arrest, started toward the State line
with a view of crossing and escaping.
General White called to him, "Gen
eral you have killed me." Houston
then faced the crowd with pistol still
hand and inquired if there were any
officers of the law among them, and
being answered in the negative, ho ad
vanced to the side of his late antago
nist, and kneeling by him, took his
hand, saying, "I am sorry for you, but
you know that it waa forced upon me."
General White replied. "I know it and
forgive vou.',' White had been shot
through just above the hips, and the
surereons to clause the wound of blood
took one of their old-fashioned silk neck
erchiefs through the wound. General
White recovered from his fearful
wound, as much to the joy of Houston as
to himself.
During the week preceding the duel
General Houston remained at the home
of Sanford Duncan, near the field,
practicing meanwhile with pistols. At
this temporary home were two belliger
ent dogs, named for their pugnacious
dispositions. Andrew Jackson and
Thomas H. Benton. These were con
tinnally fighting, Houston's political
sentiments leading him to espouse the
cause of the Jackson pup.who very much
to his delight was a constant winner in
the fravs. The hour for rising and pre
paring for the duel on the arrival of the
day was 3:40 a. m. Just beforethat hour
General Jackson barked beneath the
window of his admirer's room, awaken
ing him. Houston arose without dis
turbing his attending friends, and began
the task of moulding bullets With which
to fight Gt neral White. As the first bul
let fell from the mould a game-cock,
which he admired scarcely less than he
did the dog, crowed a loud, clear note
Houston, with that element of super
stition in nearly every mind, accepted
the early greetings of his friends as
happy ones, and marking the bullet on
one side for the dog andjtlte otlyjr for the
chicln made up his mind that his pis-
to snouict ioauuu wiui , uiu mat us
would fire first that particular ball at
General White. He afterward said that
"he was not superstitious, but these two
circumstances made him feel assured of
success," thus disproving his own words.
The bullet was used, and White fell at
the first fire, as stated. After the duel
Houston selected as a coat-of -arms "a
chicken-cock and a dog," and many were
the comments made by those unfamiliar
with the facts in alter years, when a
President of Texas and a Senator in Con
cress, he sportea so strange a crest,
These facts are authentic, having been

A correspondent of the Springfield
Republican thus describes Lincoln's ap
pearance at the Gettysburg celebration:
The day was beautiful, and Lincoln,
when he approached the battlefield, was
the one on whom all eyes were fastened
He rode on horseback to the spot where
the exercises took place.and looked awk
ward in a long, black overcoat which al
most covered the horse's flunks, with a
sorry-looking blaek silk hat resting on
the back part of his head. His face was
a study, and its worn expression, caused
by the mighty cares of that momentous
period of our history, appeaiea to au
hearts. No man's deportment that day
gave more more solemn assurance of the
deepest interest in all that took place than
Lincoln's. When he reached the top of
Cemetery hill I noticed he gave a sweep
ing glance over the field, and never shall
I forget its expression ; it was a sort of
far-away look," such as it is said one al
ways sees in the faces of those destined
to die soon, and seem to see the spirits of
those gone before.
The Bev.Dr. Stockton, chaplain of the
Senate, opened the proceedings with
prayer, and was followed by Edward
Everett, the matchless orator, who spoke
for nearly three hours, delivering a most
polished address of over sixteen thou
sand words; the foot soldiers who stood
in line in front of the platform, were
somewhat wearied. After the singing of
a hymn by a choir from Philadelphia,
Lincoln then addressed the assemblage,
dedicating tho grounds. When he came
to the words, "but in a stronger sense,
we cannot dedicate, we cannot conse
crate, we cannot hallow this ground." I
have never seen an orator (and I have
heard Webster, Choate, Sumner,
Pierre Soule, Botts, Bantonl and other
great orators) command suoh an intense
interest. It was one of those supreme
moments, when a person feels he is
taking part in a scefae which will live in
history and bo referred to by one's
children's children; and so it proved.
The country appreciated the greatness
of Lincoln's soul, and his heart-appealing
words will live in our history
when some of out orators will be for
gotten. She hung upon his arm so lovingly
he was her heaven and beamed up in
his face with all the radience of those
pale blue eyes. Her heart would speak,
and yet the tongue refused its utterance.
But love and admiration broke the spell,
and from the rapture of her soul she
breathed forth, "Your mustache is be
ginning to grow, Georgie."

French Home Life.
Every morning the housekeeper, or the
bonne, goes to the stores or to the mar
ket to buy what is strictly needed for
the day, and no more. You will Bee, for

it unladylike a bit to poke up hor

Dakota (Jim-hsan is.
We started for Pine Bidge (or Red
Cloud) agency. Fiye of our party were
missionaries. The similarity of the
country now traversed to that passed
over between Kuii Jail and Rosebud gave
much monotony to this part of our trip.
It was broken, however, by two incidents.
On the second day, having traveled far
with no signs of water, we suddenly dis
covered a large lake. All of us were
thirsty, tired and dusty. Our facilities
for bathing during the journey had been
inconsiderable, and as this expanse of
water broke upon our view one ex
claimed, j "there is a sight for all eyes."
Two horsemen dashed ahead to find a
spot for camping. They had scarcely
reached the shore, however, when both
horses stepped into quicksand. One
sank almost to his belly. His rider
jumped from his back and providentially
alighted on a firm spot. But it was only
by the greatest exertion of man and
horse that they got out. The other horse
only had two feet in and was therefore
able to extricate himself. Dakota seems
to abound in quicksands. Every marsh,
the shores of every lake and river, every
creek bottom, though it be dry of water,
must be trodden with the utmost
caution. The other day one of the
young Indians from St. Paul's boarding
school at Yankton agency, who had gone

Ifbom tbe daily bvxsimu TELEGRAM
An article on the use of lager beer
having lately appeared in the columns of
the Tkieokam, and having been made a
subject of general comment, we deter
mined to ask Mr. Feurer, of the Gam
brinus Brewery, some questions in regard
to lager beer, that we might enlighten
our readers as to where they could obtain
the genuine article. We found Mr.
Feurer at his handsome licerhall, the
Quelle, on the corner of Second and
Stark streets, where he was glad to an
swer any question in regard to the mat
ter. Lager beer is given the name on ac
count of the length of time it is kept in
fermentation, and tho length of time it is
stored away before use. We learned
from Mr. F. that nd ice was used in the
manufacture of beer in Portland until
he began its nse. The Gambrinns Brew
ery has an immense cellar made of brick,
70 feet long, 20 feet wide and 20 feet in
high, and is the best adapted to the
purpose for which it is required of any
cellar in uregon. uno of the prime es-1
sontials in the manufacture of lager beer
is cleanliness. Give a brewer good clean
tubs and vats and half the battle in mak
ing good ljeer is won. If a tub or pail is
not iiet'fectlv clean the duality of the
beer is always interior. About the Gam
brinus Brewery everything is kept as
noat as wax the tubs and vats are con
stantly being scalded and cleaned, and
no filth is ; allowed to gather. Another
prime essential in making lager beer is
good water, and no brewery on the coast
is as fortunate in that respect as the
Gambrinns. Mr. Feurer has the sole
right to use the water from the spring at
City Park, and it is conveyed about one
half I mile to his brewery in pipes. It
is the sweetest water in Portland.
Lager beer must be brewed stronger
thaii that made by the " California " pro
cess, and therefore the cost of brewing it
is much greater. To bo of the best
quality it must be kept while fermenting
in a place where the temperature is low,
and from two and a half to three months'
time is necessary after fermentation be
fore it can be placed on the market.
Mr. Feurer has a cooler cellar and uses
more ice each year to keep a low tem
perature than all the other breweries in
tho city. Years ago in Europe and the
Eastern States all lager beer was made
in the winter season, and the absence of
cool cellars caused a great deal of the
beer to sour by the middle of the sumt
mer. No manufacturer brewed beer at
all during the warm season, until it was
discovered that cellars could be kept of
the proper temperature of ice, since
which time beer has been made at all
seasons. In order to obtain the best la
ger it is absolutely necessary that it be
kept two or three months after fermen
tation in a cold cellar, and it is impossi
ble to have lager without. Beer made by
the . :
" CAUi'OKXIA PBOCESS"
Can be made much cheaper than lager.
This process, which is in general use on
the coast, is an outgrowth of
the old way of making spruce
beer, which every old bar-keeper nsed to
make behind his bar in three days' time.
But beer made after that process, though
it has been improved upon somewhat, is
not what an old-country brewer would
call beer at all. It is a fraud on the name
of lager beer, of the worst kind. The
foam generated by beer made in that
fashion is simply yeast in fermentation,
and taken into the stomach in any con
siderable quantity produces bilious
ness and headache. Any physician or
chemist who has ever exa'mined this fea
ture in beer mode by this process will
pronounce it very injurious to the health.
With this hot process beer can be brewed
and placed on the market in three days'
time, and in thus turning it out so quick
the expense is less, and it can lie sold at
a profit for about one-half of what is
necessary to charge for genuine lager.
The beer-drinkers of Portland are fast
learning the difference between lager
beer and that made by any other process
and once having drank that made by the
Gambrinus Brewery, they are loth to
drink any other; henco every niouth the
popularity of the genuine lager beer
made by Mr. Feurer is increasing.
, A Call. :
Enthusiasm is a very beautiful thing,
but (often becomes an intolerable nui
sance. This truth has been exemplified
by an incident which occurred during a
recent performance at the Gaiety
Theater of La Joie Fait Peur. M. Got,
who played "Noel," was called at a mo
ment when the pathetio interest of the
piece was very high. He at first refused
to obey the summons, but as the ap
plause grew more urgent he came to the
door as though lm yenng mistress had
called him, bowed to and entered into a
conversation with her, and went off look
ing at the audience. This silent but
forcible rebuke should be laid to heart
by too-enthusiastic play-goers. Has it
ever occurred t them that by stopping
the play until an actor has received their
plaudits they diminish even their own
enjoyment. The pleasure we derive from
a dramatic performance materially de
pends upon the extent to which we are
allowed to persuade ourselves that what
is passing on the stage is real The pros
cenium should be as a window from
which actual events are witnessed. Now.
it would lie difficult to imagine anything
more inimical to this illusion than the
appearance of a player immediately after
a poweriui scene ana exit. His face
necessarily wears an expression very dif
ferent from that which is impressed on
the minds of the audience; and others
of the dramatis permnce, instead of pro
oeeding with their parts, have to stand
mute and motionless until the little
ceremony is over, The practice of call
ing an actor beioro the enrtain, especially
between acts, is for similar reasons ob
jectionable, though, of course, in a minor
degree, liis appearance abruptly re
minds us of the unreality of what we
have seen, and his smiliug, or at any
rate placid, face seems to justify the re
mark made by Johnson when Garriek
complained that conversation at the
wings as he was about to go on disturbed
in his feelings, , For the state of things
we have comprehended, a section of the
audience is to blame, . No doubt many
players are delighted to have a "call" in
the middle of an act, or before the
curtain, but those who respect their art
come forward with unfeigned reluctance.
and from a conviction that if they de
clined to do so they would give much
offense. They know that the impression
they have created would be more
durable if the actor were not seen except
wnen ne is acting, xue coldness of the
occupants of the stalls and dress-circle is
bad enough ; Die enthusiasm of tho pit
and gallery, if it can manifest itself in no
better way than the ill-tamed "calls," is
considerably worse: The Theatre.

Early in the present century, Samson
Levy was a prominent member of the
Philadelphia bar. A client called on him
one day and stated his case with con
siderable prolixity, concluding with the
question: "Now, Mr. Levy, what do
you think 1 had better do?" "If I were
you," was his reply, "I would go hp,me
and put a $10-note in my pocket-bubk,
and go io some lawyer of my acquain
tance and ask his advice about the mat
ter ." The client's poket-book immediately
appeared.
A young man who had just returned
fon long journey, clasping his adored
one in a Iqvely embrace in ft dimly,

terror that for an instant paralysed his
energies. "Oh, my darling,' said he,
wildly, "why didn't yon write me of
this? What is it spinal disease? or
have you dislocated some of year ribs,
that you are obliged to wear this great
leather bandage?" "Oh, love," , she
gently murmured, "this is only my new
belt; I would have got a broader one,b.u
it would not go under my ajuua. '
A Lady's Reward.
The true story of tho diamond neck
lace Daniel Webster gave to Mrs. Joseph
Gales is said to be this: When Mr.
Webster made his celebrated reply to
Senator Hayne, of South Carolina, Mr.
Gales, the senior editor of the National
InteUigencer, undertook to report it, at
the request of the orator, who assured
Mr. G. that the speech would not be
more than half an hour long. The
editor was busy, but he thought he could
spare time to take down and write out so
short a speech. But as Mr. Webster was
ascending the steps of the Capitol on the
morning that he was to speak, he met
Judge Story, who told him that it was a
good opportunity to give his views upon
the Constitution. Webster acted upon
the suggestion, and instead of speaking
for only half an hour, he spoke for three
hours. Mr. Gales, under the spell of
the orator, wrote on, perfectly uncon
scious of the lapse of time. But when
he came to look over his notes he found
they were so voluminous that he never
would have time to transcribe, them.
The speech not appearing in the
InteUigencer in due time, Mr. Webster
called upon the editor at his honse, who
told him that the speech was so long.and
his time so much occupied, that he
feared he could not find time to write it
out for publication. While the orator
was expostulating with the editor, and
endeavoring to urge him to work, Mrs.
Gates appeared and said she thought she
could write out the speech, as she had
been in the habit of assisting her hus
band in transcribing his notes. She un
dertook the task, and in two days sent
Mr. Webster his speech in full. A mag
nificent diamond necklace was the rich
reward of the Massachusetts Senator.
And thus waa preserved to American
literature the masterplace of our greatest
orator.

GON KIDNEY TEA. I drank, at my meals,
tbe tea made from it, and it has effected a radical
cure. I can highly recommend it to all who
were afflicted as I was. E. C0HN.

I hereby certify that I was suffering .from an
attack of back ache so severe that I went about
doubled up, and could not straighten up. I used
one package of the OREGON KIDNEY TEA,
and I am fully persuaded that I was restored by
its help. JOHN W. LENGER.
llABRissiir-O, Oregon, Dec 31, 1S79.
The OREGON KIDXEY TEA has one my
wife as much if not more good than any of the
many remedies she lias used for pains in the
back, and I believe it to be a good remedy for the
diseases which it is recommended for.

Astoria, Oregon, Dee. 28, 1879.
I take pleasure in testifying to the merits of
tho OREGON KIDNEYTSA. For the pest
three years I have been suiieriug fiora kidney
troubles, and during that time have tried nearly
every kind of kidney medicine in the market,
alrno-t without any relief. Having heard that
the OREGON KIDNEY TEA possessed wonder
ful properties, I purchased a package, end from
the first dose obtained relief, and by the nse of
the one package feel completely cored.

I have used tho OREGON KIDNEY TEA for
pains in the back, and I am satisfied with its
effects and do not hesitate to recommend it as a
mild and safe remedy. Z. T. SCOTT.
Habrissoho, Oregon, Dec. 31, 1870.
Some three months ago i was attacked with a
severe pain in my back. I bought a package of
the OREGON KIDNEY TEA, and by the time
I bad used one-half of it I was entirely relieved
and have not been troubled since. I cheerfully
recommend it to all who may be suffering from a
lame or weak back as a pleasant, safe and good
remedy. B. J, GRIGSBY.
Po&tlaxd, Oregon, Jan, 12, 1880
Having a severe back ache last summer, I tried
the OREGON KIDNEY TEA. I nsed one ean,
which effected a radical cure. I would recom
mend it to all who are atBicted as an unfitiline
remedy. JULIUS ACH,
iMtKreMiEKo:, Oregon, Dee. IS, 1879.
Both myself and wife have been for souse years
afflicted with disease of the kidneys, and had
tried many remedies without obtaining any per
manent relief. About three months ago we were
induced to try a package of tbe OREGON KID
NEY TEA, which has apparently cured both of
us, as since taking it two weeks we bave felt no
symptoms of the disease. We ean heartily rec
ommend it to others similarly afflicted, as we be
lieve it will do all that is claimed for it.
