It is on record that the Emperor Trajan viewed the games at Home with a glass of some kind. "It is for you to say," said Judge Butler of the United States district court to a Philadelphia jury, "whether a man who plays poker for money can have a good character. " The physicians of Philadelphia have agreed to collect bills monthly, or at the end of services in each case, and have employed a financial agent to attend to collections. - A furious religious revival is in progress among the colored people of Charleston. Id is common to see con verts, usually women, carried home insensible from the meetings. Petroleum V. Xasby's dramatiza tion of "The Widow J3edott Papers" has been brought out in Philadelphia. The play, as a whole, is said to be crude and inartistic, but an exceeding ly funny character is made of the garrulous, meddlesome Widow. Grand Rapids has had its bogus foreign count. He was handsome, plausible, and audacious. The young women were bewitched by him, and he picked out Estina Sexton, married her, took her to Chicago on a wedding tour, stole her money, and deserted her. Commodore Connor was heard be fore the board of Engineers on the harbor of refuge question on the 11th. Pilot Gus. M. Jessen appeared on the same day.

A family of four adults, in North bridge', Mas3., have drank enormously of cider since last fall, the quantity being estimated at forty to fifty bar rels. They had been unable to sell it at a fair price, and so used it them selves. During the spring and latter part of winter it was very hard, and the drinkers' were intoxicated much of the time. Six weeks ago the mother died in a fit, and later one of the sons died in a similar way, while the father has delirium tremens; but they saved the cider. The Etlensbarjj Cannery. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

The programme is out for a good old-fashioned 4th of July celebration at Freeport. The people of Cowlitz county have joined together to make it a very enjoyable occasion, a sort of neighborhood social reunion. New potatoes are in the market from the vicinity of Freeport.

The father of Charlie Ross it is said, has visited over six hundred boys in his fruitless search for his stolen child, and each one of these vast number of boys were conBdently believed to be the missing Charlie by their discoverers. In this connection, the sad thought arises that if there have been over six hundred stray boys discovered who bear a resem blance to this one particular missing child, how many poor little waifs of every age, sex, and complexion there must be afloat on the sea of life, whose parentage and antecedents are unknown?
