FORGIVE AND FOHGET. | ?
(
-x Were we but generous, kind and forbearing, j
Soon would this earth be an Eden of flowers,
j
' - Then would the frowns we are constantly
wearing ]
Be lost in the laughter of happier hours; ]
Then would a holier light
Make life's dark pathway bright, ]
Shining where anger and discord have met: i
Then would all warfare cease,
Angels would whisper 'Peace!"
If we would only '"forgive and forget."
When a loved friend we have ^houghtlesslv (
wounded,
Let us not seek his forgiveness alone;
Owning our error, with courage ntibounded
Oh! let us earnestly strive t-> atone;
uonquer our prone, ami men :
Hold out our hand again,
Sure that our frioiul will respond t>> us yet;
Then will he haste once more? . '
Knowing our wrath is o'er?
Eager as we to "forgive and forget."
E'en 'mid the children so artless and loving !
Often the voice of dissension may rise:
Angels look earthward with face-; reprovin
The glances of anger thaf. flash from their ,
eyes! .
But ere the night descends,
Lol all the tumult ends,
Innocent kisses and tears of regret I
Mingle with gracious words, 1
Teaching the warbling birds f
Childhood's sweet iesson, "forgive and for <
get." !
<
Friends that are dearest may cruelly grieve ,
us; .
Bitter resentment but adds to our pain;
Let us bo merciful?soon they may leave us (
Let them not seek our forgiveness in vain.
Though we have suffered long :

They who have wounded may comfort us yet;
Tongues can hut idly preach, <
Only kind actions teach 1
Life's noblest lesson, ''forgive and forget.'' '

AN UNKNOWN FRIEND. ;
ITnlf-Moon was a new mining camp in
a deep canon at the head waters of the
Gunnison. One of 'hat adventurous . 1
class known as 4 prospectors" had, in I ,
the fall of 1881, wandered through '.hat [
country, following a burro which bore
upon its back all his worldly wealth, j
and had brought into winter (juarters in (
the valley of the Arkansas such promis-; (
ing specimens of brittle and ruby silver ,
that many, seeing the m, were induced to j
go in the spring to spy out the land.
And so it happened, on a March night in ^
1882, that a dozen camp-fires were
brightly burning, a dozen tents were ^
dimly outlined in the shadows and openings
of the stunted pines, and forty or ^
fiftv men. in rrrouDS of from three to six, .
were gathered around the tires smoking
their evening pipes and relating their experiences
and wonderful finds of the year
before.
Among fifty men brought together
from every part of the: world, in a wild
country, by a purpose born, to some extent
at least, of selfishhess and greed,
some are likely to be found in whom
brutishness predominates. There were
several such in the camp at Half-Moon.
Bill Lewis had seen nature in all her
majesty, moods and aspects for more
than thirty years; had traversed the
country from the Missouri to the Pacific
shore; lunched 011 the highest summits
and camped in the deepest gorges. And
yet his depravity was immense! He had *
been convicted of a dozen crimes, and
committed an hundred others without (
conviction.
There was another man?or rather boy
?in that camp; but he could not be seen j
that evening around any of the fires. He *
had come into the gulch in a crowd of seven,
who had been on thefc trail some a
twenty days together, and Bill Lewis was
another of the seven. His name was
Zeno Brown. Ilis comrades had failed J
to catch or comprehend his first name,
and he had come to be called "Little
John."
He would have been remarked anywhere
in a mining region as one wholly 1
out of place. He was light, delicate and .
fragile?though seemingly in good health t
before coming to the gulch?and was illy
fitted to meet the vicissitudes of a inoun- I 1
ain life. He might have been horn for ; ,
an artist or poet, or both; he certainly I
was never intended for a miner. ?
In cominj; into the gulch the party had j
an unusually serious trip. The trial was I
ill}' defined; the snow was deep and soft, J t
they had been compelled to unpack their : j
animals a score of times, and to sleep in
wet clothes and wet snow. For all this, .
however, most of them cared hut little. t
They were not invalid tourists, and they t
had crossed the ratine too many times in
bad weather to be much troubled by one
triD more. ^
But with Little John the case was dif- ,
ferent. He had never before been thus ,
exposed, and was evidently not sustained ,
to any considerable extent by a hopeful j
spirit, and he had succumbed, lie lay
in his tent in his rough blanket bed, sick, ,
prostrated, exhausted.
They had been talking of him around t
the fire when some one, coming from a
tent in a grove near by, said:
" I think Little Johu'llgo up to-night. '
He's crazy now. an' thinks he's in Ohio;
an' keeps talkin' of his mother."
Bill Lewis, before silent and sullen, ,
started up at oncc. 44 I'll go see the kid,"' }
he said. ,
lie went, and all followed in wonder.
The bed wis warm enough, and soft
enough. But it and its surroundings
were terribly rough for one like him in (
his condition. The paleface amid the
shaggy blankets, lit up by a tallow candle 1
burning in a can; the saddles, ropes, j
kettles and tools scattered around among
the bushes upon the earth lloor?all together
formed a scene weird and impressive.
"Pards! that ycr kid must be saved,"
said Bill Lewis. '"If you fellers have a J
mind to turn in an' help?well an' good;
but anyhow, that kid's going to be saved !
for his mother J"
It was thirteen miles east over the
range to the nearest cabin. The summit
was nearly fourteen thousand feet in
height, and upon it a storm was raging. !
inc spurs io me norm nnu west ?cre utterly
impassable. The only way out was !
down the gulch by the same route over !
which they had recently come in. Al- 1
though by this trail there would be no i
storm, there was worse. There were '
slides, precipices, and difficulties innuni- '
erable. Beside, it would only lead into 1
the broad valley of the Gunnison. The '
range must yet be crossed to the east be- 1
fore a railroad town could be reac hed or '
the advantages of shelter and medical at- 1
tendance secured. They believed the !
boy would die before morning. How, 1
then, could he be saved ? '
"Bill, seeing their tjuestioning looks,
answered them: '
"Pee here, pards; the boy ain't near so
sick as ye think lie is. lie's tired, ware J
out, an' teetotally discouraged: but he's
young, ain't burnt out with whi.-kv!? j
an' in my opinion's more homesick tiian
sick. I've seen them feliais before. If
we can make him understand there's a
chance of his gittin' home, he'll hang on
so we kin git him home. I'll rig a litter
on Balaam (Balaam was Bill's burro), an'
we'll take him down the valley to Taylor
Creek. A couple o' you fellars kin then
cross the range by Brush Creek trail to
Copper Creek, an" git more fellars thar,
an' meet me an' the kid on the summit of
Red Mountain. Ther's an empty cabin i
at timber-line on the west o' Bed Mountain,
an' meet me thar an hour by sun to- '
morrow. If yer hustle yer'll git thar.
Ycr ought ter fetch up by midnight on
the summit."
It is useless to attempt to convey an
idea of what this plan involved.
They were ready in an hour. J5iii
rigged a litter upon his burro, as Indians
do, and in it placed Little John. At
11 o'clock the procession started down
the gulch. There were two men beside
Bill. While these went forward and
picked out the trail, Bill attended to the
litter. Their progress was slow and
their mishaps many, but without serious
accident they reached the valley at daylight,
and at 12 o'clock were at Taylor
creek.
Little John was no worse. lie was <
partly conscious and had been made to
understand that he was going toward <
* home. Bill's assistants were to leave
him at this point, and he delivered a last 1
injunction. # ;
"Now, pards, let's have no hitches, i
I kin make the cabin in five or six hours i
easy enough, an' shall stop thar an hour <
to rest an' warm. If I kin make the i
next two miles over the summit the ;
thing's done. If it's quiet-like, mebbe I 3
kin make it. If it storms?God help us. <
You must be thar at the summit at mid- <
night. If the snow's drifted bad, Ba- i
laam can't make it, an' we'll have to t
carry the boy. When you git thar, if it <
storms, hunt 'round, an' yer'll find me 1
an' Balaam an' the kid soincwhar in the t
snow. Now git; an'?an'?if you ever
loveti yer mothers?don'tj-ou fail!''
ind at six o'clock were in the timber of
Copper Creek on the eastern slope. In a
ew minutes more they were in a snug
abin by a glowing tire, telling their
story to four fearless, big-hearted miners.
They all knew JJill Lewis, and thought
w could win if any man could; but they
:iad little hope of finding Little John
dive. They all, however, willingly
made ready to set out. They had eight
miles of comparatively easy trail, which
they thought they could do in three
hours, leaving them two Hours m wnicu
to climb the two miles from timber-line
to Red Mountain summit. Without
[jreat difficulty they reached tlie foot of
the slide in the time proposed.
One by one they crawled up the fearful
winding way. Not a word was spoken.
No one had heart to speak or breath to
spare. Even minutes seemed long in a
time and pi ice like this, and it seemed
mi age before they saw the top, and, oh,
liow Ionic before they reached it!
They had hitherto been warm enough.
But when they turned the summit the
cold west wind chilled them through.
There was no snow falling, but the wind
was driving and swirling the recent snowin
small cyclones of horror around their
dirinking forms. In a moment they had
ibandoncd every hope.
There was no Hill Lewis there.
There was no council held; there was
ih> time for that,; but instinctively every
man rushed forward for some slight
shelter. Onward they went, at times
easily and rapidly over the hard, old
snow, and then struggling through deep
Irifts, until, half a mile from the summit,
they saw something dark in the snow
ihead.

:hey alive or dead?
(iootl, faithful Balaam! no man shall
ibuse thee more. Brave Hill Lewis! Thy
-ins be forgiven thee!
Bill had worked his way up rrom the
abin by tramping the snow in front of
Ualaam, a hundred yards at a time, and
join" over the ground several times until
lie animal could pass through, and then i
cheating for another hundred feet. This
le had done in biting blast and blinding
mow, never faltering, never despairing,
Tor six lontr hours.
Bill's greeting was characteristic:
"Well done, pards! I know'd you'd
onie. The kid was better at the cabin;
>ut whether alive or dead now I don't
<now. Look an' see."
Little John was alive and warm.
"Now, pards, there's six of you. Ba*

You kin wait for inc. I'll come ?
"or I've learnt sumthin' at that thar
abin. an* I'm goin' to see this thing
hrough!"
The six men took up the litter, and
i*ill and Balaam went hack to the cabin
it timber line.
The next morning was a bright one on
he eastern slope of the main range. Low
lown on the big timber, nestled in a
ivarm nook, with an eastern and southern
exposure, was a miner's cabin. Already
lie water was dripping from the roof-logs
ivhieli overhung the front; the pile of
nineral specimens on the rude shelf bcddc
the door sparkled in the sunshine;
he doir basked upon the chips; the burns
rubbed their necks together at the
vat er in "-place; the fire was snapping in
he rude forge, and a miner was heating i
md pounding his drills and picks. Other
lien were sitting on the shafting timbers
.vhicli were piled around, smoking their
ripes and talking of the sick boy who lay
.vithin.
Little John had already made his way
0 these stranger's hearts.
He was not delirious now. But he was
iale, and wore a hopeless look that was
)itiful. >o one of them thought he had
;et come out from under the dark shad>w,
and there was u sadness In their faces
tnd a hush in their voices.
After a few hours Bill came. The miners
iroposed to go to the railroad station for
1 physician and such delicacies ns mining j
amps do not afford. Bill accepted the 1
iroposition in regard to the delicacies,
>ut insisted that he himself would be the
mrse and physician.

he week Bill called the two Half-Moon
at*n out for a little talk.
"IIcv yer got any plans 'bout this
:id ?"
Both answered that they had not.
They left even thing to him.
" This kid wuz clear-headed at the
abin on t'other side, an' him an' me i
alked. We've talked here. An1 you see. I
ie wuz a clerk orsumthin* in a bank, back I
n ()hio, an' there wuz money stole! They j
ook him up for stcalin' it; but somehow ;
hev couldn't prove it on him, an' had
o" turn him loose. But many people
aid he stole it all the same, an' ho ^
ouldn't bear the disgrace, an' so come to i
lie mountains, llis mother's poor.
A'liat he got in the bank wuz all both on

ound out who did steal the nioncv.
bit he hain't got a shiner to g > back
vith an' set himself right. That's how
ic's here.
41 Now, pards, I've got nineteen
housand odd in the Leadville bank, paid
n on my Belden sale. I hain't got a
icsky relation in the world, an' if I git
ny hands on that money I'll likely blow
t all in. So I'm going to send that kid I

Hie balance is a big enough stake fur

noney an' a draft?I've got her name

Iraft to his mother. D'ycr sec ?"
Three days afterwards they put Little
John in a sleeping car, with a ticket anp
fifty dollars in his pocket, and on the
same day a draft for ten thousand dollars
was mailed to his mother in a letter of
remittance signed "Ax Unknown
Fkiend."
"Colds" and "Chills."
Says the London Lmirel: AY hat is a
sold? It is a disturbance of the balance
between the several parts of the nervous
system, brought about by the shock of a
sudden or prolonged exposure to the depressing
effect of "chill;" although the
wine physiological results may be proluced
in the organism by the operation
jf any agent winch is capable of giving
:he nervous system a similar shock, and
bus creating the same kind of disturbince.
Nature's provisions against the
:onsequences of a "chill'' and for the
prevention of a "cold" arc sneezing and
shivering. A violent tit of sneezing often
saves a chilled body the consequences
of the nerve depression, or "shock," to
which it has been subject; and this
shock may in its first impression
lie very limited in its area; for
example, the small extent covered
by a draught of cold air rushing
through the crevice of a door or windowJJ
The nerve centers arc aroused from
their "collapse ' i>y tiic* commotion or ex- i
plosive influence of the sneeze. If j
sneezing fails, nature will try a shiver, j
which acts mechanically in the same
way. If this fails, the effects are likely
to he very serious, and bad consequences
may ensue. The popular notion rcvcr.-cs
the order of events, and hence the savin#:
"If there is sneezing the cold will
be slight, if there is shivering it will be
grave;" whereas it is slight when sneezing
suffices to recover the nervous system
quickly from its depression, and grave
when even strong shivering fails to do so.
In case of chill, with threatened cold,
sneezing may be produced by a pinch of
snuff of any kind. This is how some of
the vaunted "cures of cold by snull are
brought about. Or brisk exercise may
ward off the attack. The popular idea
is that the circulation is restored by these
remedies, but the true explanation is
that the nervous system and centers are
aroused. The first step toward an intelligent
treatment of chill and cold is a
?ci ntific recognition of their nature

We visited a college for young boys in
Tunis, (North Africa) writes a correspondent.
The class-rooms were small, withou
windows, and lighted from the entrance

were used for desks, the scholars and
teachers sitting on the floor. They all
studied aloud. Each scholar in reciting
look his seat directly in front of the teacher,
and within easy reach of his rod, both
continually swaying their bodies back and
forth. Most of the professors were quite
young men, with very intelligent faces.

A BAKED BEAN DISASTER. J*
Probably !is laughable a thing as lias ^
been seen in a long time took placc at
Janesvillc at the '?rand Army reunion a jj
couple of weeks Lgo. There was to be a
baked bean banquet for the visiting vet- jj
crans, and half the families in town fur- j.,
nished a pan of baked beans for the oe- jj
CiLsion, sending them to the armory late v
in the afternoon piping hot. A couple
of boys, sons of a soldier, were entrusted ?
with a large pan of red hot baked beans
to take downtown, and they put the pan
011 a hand-sled aud started. Arriving at
the top of the big hill, where the road
runs straight down into the business
street, the temptation to ride down was
too great, and the boys got on the sled
with the pan of beans in front of them, !l
steaming hot. They started. Every
crossing they struck a gob of the beans **'
would 11 y out, and before they were :'!
half down the hill the boys were cov- "
ercd with beans from head to foot. They n
shut their eyes and let the sled "went." 11
A girl stood by a crossing as they passed,
and as the sled struck a hummock, a
handful of beans hit the girl in the hair. P
and as the hot mass began to heat up she w
felt that the hairs of he head wercnum- v
bered, and put her hand to her head, and 11
when the beans burned her hand she
yelled lire and went away on a gallop. A
dog ran along beside the sled and barked **
at the boys, but a quart of beans struck s:
the doir and the weather was too warm
for him, and lie ran away with a hot box.The
sled finally turned over and boys.
beans and sled rolled and slid for half a *
block, and the street was paved with w
good intentions and baked beans. The
boys got up, scraped the beans oJT o! v"
their clothes, thought the matter over "
a minute, when each took hold of a side : *
of the empty pan, and they carried it! ''
down to the armory, and reported to the s'
committee on beans. The circumstance 11
was related to the soldiers, and the 11
empty pan, the hand-sled and the boys
decorated with beans created as much
amusement for the old veterans as any ^
one thing. "
a
cnusiiKD iiazkus." h
Everyone knows of the trick that was
played some two years ago by a ffcsh- ,
man at I'rinceton college, at which time J
the custom of " hazingin a really brutal 1
manner was so prevalent there. The
hazing gang of sophomores that year ]
were so rough and cruel that the faculty ?
was at its wit's end to devise some means
for its suppression. One or two cases of 1
severe and lasting bodily injuries to the 1'
victims placed so serious an aspect upon !
matters, that applicants for scholarships
were few. At this juncture the father of 11
a new man, who had incurred the enmity
of the hazcrs by stubbornly resist- [
ing their attacks, conceived an ingenious i1
idea, lie quietly hunted up Sullivan, ,v
took him up to Princeton, had a conference
with the president of the college,
and the same day the champion, who
bore the appearance of a meek-looking
young man with eye-glasses and a bad
cough, was entered as a student and as- .
signed a room in the dormitory. ;
That night about twenty of the *
" Wahoos,*' as the hazers called them- .
selves, stole softly to the new member's
room. Having arranged their "ear
twisters," ' toe pinchers " and other instrumeuts
of torture to their satisfaction. 1,1
they took ojf their coats, rolled up their
sleeves and tapped gently on the door of
their victim, who mildly invited them
in. v
The invaders lit the gas, and beheld s<
the new coiner lying in bed, smoking a I tJ
cigarette, and benignly regarding the si
mob through his goggles. si
"(Jet np there, Freshie. We're going 1J
to have some fun with you,*' they said, b
" Not really?" said the victim, with a tl
hollow cough.
"Yes; look spry now!" c
"Well, if I must, I suppose I must,"' j p
whimpered the new man, jumping out ' p
on the floor. The next moment the ring I <1
leader of the inquisitors got a "facer" ii
that drove him clear across the room and l si
through the sash of a window. s|
The survivors of what followed all <1
agree that language fails to do justice to ; e
the scene. Sullivan kicked the door! p
shut, and then sailed in and began pil- j
ing up the dead. Some of them didn't I I.
get around again for three weeks, and I h
half a dozen badly llattencd " Sullivan" j e
noses can be seen in this year's gradu- : fi
ating class. ! a
This is the story most of our leaders : a
have heard. The result was 10 entirely h
abolish "hazing" at l'rineeton until the | <;
beginning of the present session, when j v
the old custom started in with renewed I t'
vigor. , h
A student named Harrison, from Clove- j t
land, learned that his "den" was to be j h
raided upon a certain night. That day j h
he repaired to the outskirts of the town, j a
and by means of a cabbage, decoyed to ;
his room, under cover of darkno s, a pe* c
culiarly vigorous and vindictive billy- u
goat, the terror of that quarter. i f
He had kept the animal in a pacific J li
frame of mind by much provender until i d
the hour for the assault. When the j i
freshman heard the stealthy gathering of c
the class outside the door, he turned olF t
the gas; gave the goat a few jabs with a li
penknife to liven it up, and dodged be- I a
hind the door. b
As soon as the besiegers had rushed in j t<
he shut the door, locked it, and hastily t
climbed upon the wardrobe, being just in c
time to escape the first rush of the hilly, <
who knocked three men over the bed the li
very first biff. s
The pandemonium of shrieks, curses t
and butts lasted for some live minutes, b
Then a forlorn hope of battered hazers rj

There is a cottage in the rear occupicd

Scattered about in the park are a liunred
or so of spectators. I do not like to
liow ignorance by inquiring the meaning
f the placard, but quietly wait. I'resntly
a young man, evidently not a mem- c
er of a red-ribbon society, gently aproachcs
the bear, who looks at him K
izily and blinks his eyes. The young
tan displays a bottle of beer. The big
cast (the bear, I mean,) rises on his
aunches and licks his jaws in token of 0
|>proval. The bipe:l, after one or two '
jints, rolls the bottle over to bruin, who a
jizes it, uncorks it with his teeth and 11
ikes a tremendous pull. After a rest he ^
ikes another. This time lie has emptied 0

t it with an expression half melancholy 11
nd half comical. "Treating the bear'' c

"Time"' is called l'or the wrestling ^
out, and a negro in a ragged suit of 1
Iothes steps forward and prepares for a

ut is prodded into activity by the blows ft
nd insults heaped upon him. He shows !l
onsiderabie skill and does not lose his ^
inper. Occasionally lie handles Dan a
retty roughly. In the first round Dan a
tilled a hat of some tough material D

ruin. The latterdodged, and, clutching ^
?an, who had slipped and fallen back- '

The Uses of an Enemy. 11

Always keep an enemy on hand?a
risk, hearty, active enemy. ^
licmark the uses of an enemy: j,
1. The having one is proof that you ..
re somebody. Wishy-washy, empty, s
Vl.MVA*
l'wl"v 11
fen who never move never run against ?
nything: and when a man is thoroughly a
ead and utterly buried, nothing ever
ins against him. To be run against is ?
roof of existence and position; to run n
gainst something is proof of motion. j,
2. An enemy is, to say the least, not 0
nrtial to you. lie will not flatter. He j
ill not exaggerate your virtues. It is j;
cry probable that he will slightly mag- f,
ify your faults. The benefit of that is ^
ivo-fold; it is to permit you to know p
tat you have faults, and are, therefore, j,
ot a monster, and it. makes them of such ,,
ze as to be visible and manageable, j,
if course, if yon have a fault, you desire s,
) know it; when you become aware that (]
oil have a fault, you desire to correct it. j,
our enemy dous for you this valuable ],
ork which your friend cannot perform. 0
In addition, your enemy keeps you j,
iile awake. He does not let you sleep j,
t your pnst. There arc two that always t(
ecp watch?namely, the lover and the s
ater. Your lover watches that you may v
ecp. lie keeps oil" noises, excludes
ighi, adjusts surroundings, that nothing v
lay disturb you. Your hater watches v
lat you may not sleep. He stirs you up 0
hen you arc napping. He keeps your c
u nities on the alert. Even when he
ocs nothing lie will have put you in such j
state of mind that you cannot tell what .,
e will do next, and his mental qui vive j]
lust be worth something. f,
4. lie is a detective among your ^
riends. You need to know who your v
riends are, and who are not, and who n
re your enemies. The last of these three SI
ill discriminate the other two. When f(
our enemy goes to one who is neither ^
riend nor enemy, and assails you, the
ulifTerent one will have nothing to say
r chime in, not because lie is your enemy,
ut because it is so much easier to assent
nan to oppose, and especially than to ti
jfute. lhit your friend will take up
udgels for you on the instant. He will
env every thing and insist on proof, t
ml proving is very hard work. There
. not a truthful man in the world that
mild afford to undertake to prove one- ^
;ntli of all his assertions. Your friend
ill call your enemy to the proof; and if
:te indifferent person, through careless- o
ess, repeats the assertions of your enemy, ti
e is soon made to feel the inconvenience
icrcof by the zeal your friend manifests, ti
'ollow your enemy around ami you will a

Too Fat for Hie Pari.
Probably very few of my readers, a
rites a Paris correspondent, have ever
. en the opera which Verdi wrote upon
le story of Schiller's ' Robbers." Fewer {
ill. in all probability, know the curious
Lory connected with its performance in
'aris, from no fault of the composer. '
ut from the unfortunate rotundity of
le principal performer.
In Schiller's drama, much of the inter- c
st turns upon the ill treatment of the
oor old father by his two cruel and de- !.1
raved sons, who starve him almost to
catli. The opera contains a very touchig
and beautiful aria for the bass, de- '
motive of his silverings, in which lie j'
|ie:iks of his starved and emaciated con- ll
it ion in terms which are intended to l1
xcite the extreme of compassion 011 the
art of the audience.
When the play was cast in Paris
.ablache was in his prime, r.ot only as to
is magnificent voice, but also to a certain
xpansion of waist and rotundity of *'
gure of which he was by 110 means
shamed, but which his enemies describe
s unmitigated fat. As ill-fortune would a
avc it, Verdi's heavy father had to be a
iven to the basso, and Lablache not
. ithout some secret misgivings, uma-i- i >;
t)ok the part. A little titteriuir great eel ; t
is delivery of the lines in rehearsal, and | s
lie basso himself was somewhat nervous, j
ut when the night eainc he surpassed i n
imself, and the curtain fell on the first I j.
et amid thunders of applause.
Hut the moment of trial was yet to v
ome, and when, on the curtain rising
pon the second act, I.ablache waddled
or ward to^the footlights, and with his ' ^
mge voire and enormous chest began to j *
leliver himself of the father's miseries. I '
twastoomueh for the risible faculties j
f the audience, and when the giant in j 1
ones of thunder, appealed to them to | .
aok upon his wasted limbs and emaci- | ,!
ted frame, the merriment burst all j '
ounds, and amid convulsions of laugh- v
cr which shook the house, Lablache re- v
ircd, vowing vengeance upon all con- s
erned in what he was determined to
onsider a personal insult. Verdi, I be- d
ieve, managed to pacify him by his as- li
urance of the absence of any such in- s
ention on hia part, but the opera had to 11
e withdrawn from the boards, and has n
iroly been seen since. e

SEW YOEK.
omc \oicd iTlen and Women Seen on
Crowded Fourteentli Street, and
How Tlicj Looked.
Joseph Howard, Jr., in one of his
reczy letters to the Philadelphia Prm,
iiy.s: Like Broadway and Twenty-third
ircot, Fourteenth street is a paradise for
n<r,r:irH tlir; tricks and manners of some
f thein equaling anything done by their
rofcssional examples in sunny Italy.
'Iiere is still a great deal of human naure
in ju-ojile, so that what interests an
idividual is quite certain to interest a
rowd. Among the pushing, hauling
lirong that gathered about the attractive
isplays of the shop windows this mornlg,
moving rather slowly along, was a
raceful woman about the medium height,
he was accompanied by a friend with
hom she chatted with much animation,
lie wore a kind of zebra costume, with
at to match, and met the many stares
liat greeted her as though she was quite
ccustomcd to that manner of complilcnt.
It was interesting to see how the riples
of curiosity behaved. For some litle
distance Mrs. Langtry and her comanion
woulJ walk without attracting a
article of attention. Now and then some
asser would be attracted by her attire,
r her face, or her walk, but once in a
bile she met people who recognized her
matures. In an instant, and as though
y magic, the crowd knew it too.
"That's Langtry."
"Where?"
"There?that tall woman in the striped
loak."
"You don't say so. Well, she is prct
y, isn't she?"
"I don't think she is any bettor looking
liati I am."
".Nonsense! She's a beauty." And so
n, until the throng became somewat emarassing.
Just as quickly, and without
ny apparent reason, the crowd of rccogizers
melted away and fresh faces "who
new not" Lily took their turn. On this
ccasion Mrs. Langtry appeared to be in
articularly happy spirits, and laughed
nd talked as though she were a school
irl on a holiday.
Not half a rocl behind Mrs. Langtry
talked Miss Clara Louise Kellogg, whose
catures in other years, when her field of
ctioti was the academy and Field Marhall
Stebbins was at the head of opera
ndeavors here, were more familiar to
he general public than they are now.
Iiss Kellogg's characteristic drive and
nergy are well known to all who have
lealt with her. She literally plucked
he flower of fortune from a sterile field,
nd grasped her lyric scepter with a
land from which nothing but relentless
line could nave wresteu lr. one wuirs,
s she docs everything, with a will, and,
pparentlv ignorant of the proximity of
Irs. Langtry, she passed along and
head of her, and was soon lost to view;
nd, by an odd coincidence, almost immediately
after Miss Ivellogg had gone
here loomed up the sturdy portliness of
lax Maretzek, under whose baton Miss
Cellogg won ninny honors and gained
inny shekels. Max is older than when
le and his old rival, J. Gran, made fun
f each other's work and kept the public
11 a fever of expectation, but he doesn't
how his age. lie is as full of life and
lash as ever, abounding in reminiscences
nd as ready to talk and laugh and joke
s of old. Jlis walk is quick, nervous
nd pushing, and his restless eyes take
n all there is to be seen.
Actors are like children in many repoets?nervous,
jealous and easily disurbed?but
they are generally friendly
nth each other, and full of genial comlanionship
in, as well as out of the
'profession.'' John McC'ullough,
'liilly" Florence and Charles Wyndham
re tolerably well known men, and to
cc the trio in a Fourteenth street promnade
is a treat which thousands of their
dmircrs have enjoyed within the week.
IcC'ullough is tall, straight, stoutishly
nelined, and extremely dignified in pubic.
Florence is shorter, stouter, and
ias a never quiet twinkle in his eye,
rhicli defies a superabundance of dignity
t any time. Wyndham is taller, slighter,
nd more willowy than his friends, and
as acquired a degree of Anglican rnanerism.
to which thev. of course, are
(rangers. With heads totally different,
laying in lines of business that have
otliing in common, these actors, as men,
re peculiarly fond of each other's society.
That two clergymen should be seen
ear to each other, but not together, is
ot strange. No two actors of any promiicnce
could be within a block of each
tlier without a "Jlello" at least,
'heology is different. Henry Ward
ieccher has been preaching about
arty-five years, of which more
liau thirty have been spent in
Irooklyn, which,so far as he is concerned,
> part and parcel of New York. His
Liddy face, whitened hair and rugged
gitre are well known to tens of thouunds,
and as he looked in the shop witiows
at pictures, brass grates, fancy tilolg
and magnificent rugs there displayed,
e was literally the observed of half the
bservers, to say the least. From a word
e dropped to a friend it was evident
e was on his way to the depot and thence
a his home in I'eckskill (for he lontf
ince gave up housekeeping in the city,
i here he boards with his son in the winL*r),
a beautiful spot for work or rest. It
,'as interesting to see how generally he
. as recognized,and amusing to note how
ften he touched his high felt hat and
hcerfully saluted his accosting friends.
A very different built man is the Rev.
)oetor (). H. Frothingham, who is tall
nd comparativaly slender, pale and genie
in manner. Mr. Frothingham's
riends are legion, and his writings arc

rorld; but he passed along the street allost
unnoticed, occasionally exchanging

Cost of the Capital
I have been figuring up what this capital
of ours has cost us since the beginning,
and 1 find that the amount is over $100,000,000.
The subject was investigated
by Congress in 187(5. The total at that
time was a cost of $1)4,302,423; since
then $"),oOO.OOO has been paid out for
public buildings alone, and the amounts
paid out for works of art, park decorations
and other things will run the total
far ahead of the amount above stated. I
For a number of years it has cost
more than $1,000,000 a year to pay
the government expenses of the District
of Columbia, and since 1802 the amounts
have been much higher. In 1873 the
amount was more than $8,000,000. In
1873 it was more than $7,000,000, while
from 1828 to 1852 it was less than $1,
000,000 a year. In 1814 only $1,800
was appropriated for the District of
Columbia, and it was not until 1837 that
the yearly proportion reached $1,000,000.
It is interesting to look over the items of
permanent improvements in Washington.
These include the original cost of the
buildings and their repairs, furnishing
and keeping in order. The following
estimate, though not exactly correct, is
approximately so. It is less rather than
greater than the actual cost, some of the
minor expenses during the past seven
years being omitted: The capitol has
cost $17,(572,123; the patent ollicc, over
$13,000,000; the treasury about $7,200,000;
the Washington streets, more than j
$(5,000,000; the state department about j
$7,000,000; the navy nearly $4,000,000;
the Whit.' house, two parks and public
grounds, about $2^000,000.? )Yitnhington

Eating Lemons.
A good deal has been said through thp
papers about the healthfulness of lemons.
The latest advice is how to use them so
they will do the most good, as follows:
Most people know the benefit of a lemonade
before breakfast, but few people
know that it is more than doubled by
taking another at night also. The way
to get the better of a bilioussystem without
blue pills or quinine is to take the
juice of one. two or three lemons, as appetite
craves, in as much water as makes
it pleasant todrink without sugar, before
going hod. In the morning, on rising,
at least hall* an hour before breakfast,
take the juice of one lemon in a goblet
of wate. This will clear the system of
humor and bile with cfliciciiry. without
any of the weakening effects of calomel
or congress water. People should not i
irritate the stomach by eating lemons I
clear; the powerful acid of the juice, I
which is always corrosive, invariably !
produces inllamation after awhile, but I
properly diluted so that it does not burn i
or draw the throat, it does its medical
work without harm, and when the |
stomach is clear of food has abundant j
opportunity to work over the system |
thoroughly, says a medical authority.? |

A HUNTER'S STOEY.
How He Was Orprcome end the Way by
Which He wan Finally Haved.
(Correspondence Spirit of the Times.)
t An unusual adveuture which recently oc'
curred to your correspondent while hunting
at Brookmere, in this State, is so timely ana
contains so much that can be made valuable
to all readers, that I venture to reproduce it
entire:
1 The day was a most inclement one and the
snow quite deep. Rabbit tracks were plenti(
fui, but they principally led in the direction
of a krge swamp, in which the rabbits
could nin without difficulty, but where the
1 hunter constantly broke through the thin
ice, sinking into the half-frozen mire to his
knees. Notwithstanding these difficulties,
the writer had persevered, although
a very small bag of game was
r the result. While tramping about through
a particularly malarial portion of the
swamp, a middle-aged man suddenly came
1 into view, carrying a muzzle-loading shotgun
) and completely loaded down with game of
the finest description. Natural curio>ity,
aside from the involuntary envy that instinctively
arose, prompted the writer to ent?T
into conversation with the man, with the
i following result:
"You've bad fine success, where did you
get all that game?
knnn {** OrtTO mn "
111*111, IICIC, Ul I,U? -T .. u.,..,,.
I "It's mvtty rough hunting in these parte,
especial]v when a man goes up to his waist
r every other step."
' "Yes, it's not very pleasant, but I am used
to it and don't mind it."
1 "How long h ive you hunted hereabouts."
"Why, bless you, I have lived hero most of
my life and hunted up to ten years ago ever
year."
"How does it happen you omitted the last
ten'years?"
"Because I was scarcely able to move, much
less hunt."
"I don't understand you ?"
f "Well, you seo, about ten years ago, after
I had been tramping around, all day in the
Rame swamp, I Idt quite a pain in my ankle.
I didn't mind it very much, but it kept
' troubling ine for a day or two, and I could
see that it kept inm-a-ting. The next thing I
knew, I felt tho same kind of a pain in my
shoulder and I found it pained mo to move
my arm. This thing kept going on and in.
creasing, and though I tried to skake off the
feeling ami make myself think it was only a
little temporary trouble, I found that it did
not go. Shortly after this my joints began
to ache at the knees and I finally became so
_ iiad that I had to remain in tho house most of
tho time."
"And did you trace all this to the fact that
you had hunted so much in this swumpf1
"No, I didn't know what to lay it to, but
I knew that I was iD misery. My joints
it swelled until it seemed as thoueh all the flesh
9 * had left was bunched at the joints; my
Ingers crooked in' every way, and some of
them became double-jointed. In fact; every
C joint in my body seemed to vie with tho
it others to see which could become the largest
_ and cause me the greatest suffering. In this
wav several vears uassed on, during which
time I was pretty nearly helpless. 1 became
it. so nervous and sensitive that I would sit
bolstered up in the chair and call to people
that entered the room not to come near me,
J nr even touch my chair. While all this was
going on, I felt an awful burning Ijeat ano
k fever, with < ccasional chills running all over
my body, but especially along nry back aha
through my shoulders. Then again my blood
u seemed to be boiling and my brain to be on
fire."
"Didn't ycu try to prevent all this agony?"
"Try! 1 should think I did try. 1 tried
y ivery doctor that came within my reach aut
it ill the proprietory medicines I could hear of
_ I used washes an l liniments enough to las1
me tor all time, but the only relief 1 receivet
was by injections of morphine."
u "Well, you talk in a very strange mannei
tt for a man who lias tramped around on a da}
,. like this and in a swamp like this. Howii
) the world do you dare to do It?'
"Because 1 am completely well and a
ir sound as a dollar. It may se^m strange
but it is true, that I was entirely cured; thi
rheumatism all driven out of my blood; mi
lc joints reduced to their natural size, and mi
? strength made as great as ever before, bj
p means of that great and simple remedy, War
(j ners Safe Rheumatic Cure, which I believi
t saved my life.*'
u " And so you now have no fear of rheums
tism f''
n " Why, no. Even if it should come on,
' can easily get rid of it by using the sairn
remedy."
