Setting down the AristOcracy.

The elegant Miss Mason, whose father
had made splendid fortune as an enter
prising draper and tailor, appeared at
magnificent entertainment in royal appar-
ell With that fastidious exclusiveness for
which the latest corners into fashionable
circles are the most remarkable, she refu-
sed various offers Of introduction, as she
did not wish to extend the number of her
acquaintances: :" her friends were few and
very select.
The beautiful Mss Taylor, radiant with
good-natrred smiles, and once well &C
quainted with Miss Mason when they went
to the public school in William street to-
gether, noticed the AaMeur of her ancient
friend, who was determined not to recoC-
nize one who would only remind her of
her former low estate. But Miss Taylor,
the rogue, as clever as she was pretty,
determined to bring her up with short
turn, and not submit to being snubbed by
one whose ancestral associations were no
better than her own. Watching her
chance when the naughty young lady was
in the midst of her circle, Miss Taylor walk
ed up, and with smiles of winning sweet
ness, remarked:
81 have been thinking, my dear Miss
Mason, that we ought to exchange names"
why, indeeds"
because my name is Taylor, and my
father was mason; and your name is
Mason, but your father was tailor"
There was scene then, but there was
no help for it. The little Miss Taylor had
the pleasure of saying very cute thing,
which was soon repeated in the ears o
dozen circles, and the wits wished to SEQ
her, but the ptoud Miss Mason bit her lip
in silence,

SENATOR MASON.

n. P Willis attended the recent cele-
bration at Bunker Hill, and while there
saw Senator MASON, whom he pleasantly
describes as follows
Mr.. Mason's fine head had interested
me as he sat upon the stage, though |
had failed to discover who he was by en-
quiries of those around me. When Mr..
Winthrop, with his usual Parliamentary
felicity, introduced him at last as the we'll
known Senator from Virginia, my curl
os;ty was naturally increased--his position
before that audience of seven thousand,
livery nearly at an odds, political and sec
tional, of one to six thousand nine hum
dred and ninety nine, being one Of rath-
er formidable embarrassment. He arose
and stepped forward to the table and l
in vain scrutinized his features, sitting
very near him as | did, for any trace eth
or of discomposure Or defiance. His
calm eye made the circuit OF the pavilion,
while he pollectcd his thoughts for reply
to summons wholly unexpected-one
scarce noticeable trifle, perhaps, b9tray
ed, very unconsciously to himself the
southern instinct beneath it all. The
broad brimmed slouched hat which he
wore as traveller was not laid on the ta-
bic. 1t was just pereeqtibly, aud with
the least possible propulsion of the arm
tossed there!
Of his speech, in giving the substance
the reporter make an imperfect representa-
ton. The fuency, the deliberateness of
accent, the digni y anl vel ta'anced
measures of epithet and rhythm,-admi-
rable under any circumstances i'll an ex-
tempore speech, were here even curious
in their perfection. But it was in the
air and bearing of tho man, that his con-
scious quality of soul-his instictve will
character and purpose--were most elo-
quently expressed. Of intellectual repose
and of the calm courtesy of manliness
kept habitualy in training, his whole pre-
sence was the type undeniable. Dignity
so absolutely faultless, both of mien and
tone fine as it would be with the most
elaborate study and preparaton-was, in
the critical impromptu Of the Virginian
Senator, very remarkable.

Locomotive Experience.

Riding on the engine of an express
train is exciting business. We made in
tercession with the powers that be, the
other day, and secured a passage of ten
miles on "the machine" 1t is interesting
to watch the track ahead, and imagine
yourself going down the banks from some
obstruction. You look at the steam guage
and wonder if one hundred and ten pounds
is safe quantity. AS the speed increases,
tho sway of the engine attracts especial
notice. Every little roughness Of the
track is felt, and the machine goes knock
ing about from side to side, with force
enough to tear tho rails from the ties.
The flat ribbon of rail, extending so far
before you, seems utterly insufficient to
hold the vast, ponderous weight of iron
upon it. For relief from the terrors you
conjure up, you turn to the engineer and
venture a remark He does not look
around, his hand is on the lever, his eyes
steadily fixed on the track. Just then the
fireman rings the bell for crossing. You
can see it swing, but in the crash and
thunder Of your progress you hear no
sound, and then you think that perhaps
the engineer did not hear your voice.
The fireman is con instantly busy, He
piles up the wood in easy distances and
then ..stokes." AS the dry sticks are cast
into the furnace, the devouring flames
seize them with fierce avidity and eat
into their substance, penetrate their pores,
and tears them to pieces almost in mo-
ment. 1t is an awful fire, unlike any you
have ever witnessed.
You take another look at the track and
oain a new sensation, for whenever the rail
q little settled the engine sinks down
upon it, and it seems as if the wheels and
trucks were giving way, and the whole
machine about to crush down in one fatal
smash up.
These are daylight observations, but
the night is the time to enjoy a locomo-
tive ride. The light from the engine lamp
extends only for two or three rails forward.
Beyond that all is darkness, and you 60
plunging on into the black unseen before
YOU, without possibility of forewarnlng
Of any danger. You can see the switch
lights, or that of another locomotive, but
q log or drunken man may be on the
track. or rail may be broken, and you
none the wiser, until with one tremendous
crash YOU meet your doom upon it.

THE SOUL.

What makes the soul so valuable, Its
immortality. When endless years have
run on, the soul will still exist: amazing
thought! viii it ever tire1 Will the
ETHEREAL pulsations of sublimated existence
never grow heavy? VIII the wheel new
er be broken ut the cisterna Never =
The soul viii endure as long as the throne
of God Las heavens wall shall gather no
MOSES from age, neither shall the soul
become decrepid; in heaven no one will
be seen leaning on his staff for every age.
What, like angels: will never grow old'
to be always the same tbro' endless cen
turies as when first created! But cannot
she annihilate herselfl O, no, the sonl's
literal suicide cannot be performed No
Judas Iscariot can find sulphurous tree,
or jutting wall which, may afford him aua-
penson between life and death. Tbs

A Beautiful Classical AlIusion.

Mr.. Winthrop, of Massachusetts,, in his
address at the Musical Festival in Boston,
alludes to the contemplated Submarine
Telegraph, in these words:
"On Christmas eve, in the year 1914,
the treaty of peace between England and
the United States was signed at Client
a worthy commemoration of that blessed
event when the herald angels were heard
singing on the plains of Bethlehem
Peace on earth, good will to all men.
But that treaty was not known on this
side the ocean for six or seven weeks after
its date. The great battle of New Or
leans, as you all know, was fought at least
two weeks after the signing of that treaty.
Our modern system of railroads and stea-
mers and telegraphs might have saved
that effusion of fraternal blood--mig ht
have deprived individual heroes, might
have deprived our country and its history,
of all the glory belonging to that really
great victory Ifthat gigantic ocean harp,
which is at this moment in the process of
being strung-whose deep diapson is des-
tined to produce q more magical music on
the sea than mythology or modern fable
ever ascribed to siren, mermaid or Arion
If the mysterious gamut OF that pro-
found submarine chord had been in sue
cessful operation then, as we hope it will
soon be between ST. Johns and Valentia
Bay-those cotton-bag ramparts at New
Orleans might never have been celebrated
in history-while, of those who SO gal
lantly defended them, many of them would
not have been laid SO low, and some per-
haps, would hardly have risen SO high"

POETRY.
FOURTH OF JULY ODE.

he following Ode, composed by R. W.
ExERsoS, was sung at the Fourth of July cele-
,ration al Concord:
o tenderly the naughty day
Pills his blue urn with fire,
One morn is in the mighty heaven,
And one in our desire.
The cannon booms from town to town,
Our pulses are not less,
The JOY bells chime their tidings down,
Which children's voices bless.
For he that flung the broad blue fold
Der mantling land and sea,
One-third part of the sky unrolied
For the banner of the free.
The men are ripe of Saxon kind
To build an equal state;
To take the statute from the mind,
And make of duty fate.
United Stated the ages Plead
Present and Past, in undressing
Go put your creed into your deed,
Nor speak with double tongue.
Pcr sea and land don't understand,
Nor skies without frown,
These rights for which the one hand fights
By the other cloven down.
Be Just at home: then reach beyond
Your charter DER the sea.
And make the broad Atlantic pond
A ferry of the free.
Ind henceforth there shall be no chain,
Sare underneath tbs sea,
The trircs sbaY n,uTmur hro tho main,
Street songs of LIBERTY.
TIE conscious stars around d6ore.
The tratcrs srild 6eiou,
-s,sd under, through the cable Uore,
Her fiery errands 90.
For He that worketh high and wise,
Nor pauscs in his plan.

Ere freedom out of man,

" FANTASY.O

BIT MRS. BARCLAY PESNoCK.
SO close We stood, together.
So near our hearts did beat,
There lay but a single shadow
On the green sward at our feet.
To their Utmost soul of azure
Hung bare the heavens on high;
Slow up through the morning brightness
A mist wreath climbed the sky.
Then in the silver silence
BY heart became aware
OF q sound, so fine it moved not
The mute and delicate air.
ais il the musical ocean,
The moaning, musical seal
Or is it a wind-witch singing
In the bole of the great ash-tree,
"seven leagues away to the northward
Moan the sea-shells on the shore;
No wind in the bole of the ash-tree
Ever sang this tune before"
Then while the fine compression
OF his arm around me stole,
felt how the eyes of my lover
Were looking into my soul.
And he softly said, "This music
Doth my heart make night and noon
Full long have l waited, weary,
For thy heart to learn the tune.
"0h leave the wind in the ash-tree.
Oh leave the sea on the shore!
For our hearts shall beat this measure,
Dear love, till they beat no more

SCHNAPPS

My object Is to announce that have recently es

supplying the State and Oregon with my Schnapps
and that hereafter will always keep said agency

gists and liquor dealers throughout California
always supply themselves at n regular price,
merely enough over the New York price to cover
cost of freight and charges thus avoiding complaint
as heretofore, of occasional scarcity and extreme
high price.
II Is now many years since | first imported these
Schnapps from the celebrated old distlery at Schei-

conceded that no Gin was ever imported into this
