the California Theater to Miss Emelie |
Melville. 1t was the most generous
and appreciative one of the season
TO any theatrical, and it was truly |
deserving. Miss NJ. has by patient
devotion to her profession risen from |
obscurity to enviable notoriety. Her |
schooling has been before San Fran
cisco audiences, and they have never
wearied watching her progress, and
delight to bestow upon her applause,
honor and golden tokens of appre-
citation. She is one of the few whose
countenance constantly beams with
goodness, and whose beauty has not
engendered excessive pride. Her
personal attractions may not be OF
the highest order, but are surely
above those of most mortals and
then when it is understood that amid
all the temptations of the calling,
her reputation is unsullied, she is
beautiful indeed. She will never
figure to advantage in tragedy, but
as tragedy is of no advantage and
nearly out of demand, she loses
nothing. Her power is to please,
charm and delight. If you have any
kind feelings left in you when you
hear and see her on the stage, as |
hope you have and will, they will
have the ascendancy for the
time being. The many bou-
quets, wreaths and combinations of
flowers, with the heavy purse of
golden twenties she received that
evening were as deserved as they
were freely bestowed. She has pos
tive merits and an attempt to puff"
her would be useless and insulting,
therefore this is no puff.

Real estate is the attractive prop
erty for investment, but country
people must beware of many adver-
tised Homestead Associations. Many
of them are good, but they are be-
coming rage, and are formed on
property from 10 to 500 miles
from the city, lat unreasonable prices.
Don't buy except upon the advice of
a tried friend who knows about the
property, is my advice, and yet my
experience is that few spare dol

ably invested as in some of the Or

hundred men who had not been paid since
Jan, were congregated at the station. The
conductor attempted 10 hitch on the car and
get away with it, but the sight Of several
cooked pistols persuaded him to desist and
the train moved off, leaving the car behind
The crowd demanded their wages and told
Durant if he did not send for the money,
they would take him into the mountains and
feed him on salt-horse and sage-brush. A
dispatch was written for 100000. The tel
egraph operator was told if he sent for troops

out mercy. on Friday, the money came,
the men we're paid and the party released.

SLURS ON WOMEN.

OF all the evils prevalent among
young men, we know ofnone more blight
lug in its moral effects than to speak
Slightingly of the virtue of women.
Nor is there anything IN which young
men are so thoroughly mistaken, as the
low estimate they form of the integrity
of women,-not of their own mothers
and sisters. As rule, no person who
surrenders to this debasing habit is to
be trusted with any enterprise requiring
integrity of character. Plain words
should be spoken on this point, for the
evil is a general one, and deep-rooted
lfyOung men are sometimes thrown in
to the society of thoughtless or lewd
women, they have no more right tc
measure all other women by what they
sc, of these, than they would have tc
estimate the character of honest anG
respectable citiz,ns by the developments
Of crime in our police courts. Let GU
young men remember that their chic
happiness of life depends upon thei
utter faith in women. No worldly wis
dom, no misanthropic philosophy, n,
generalization, can cover or weaken thi
fundamental truth. 1t stands like tn
record Of God itself-for it il nothin,
less than this-and should put an ever
lasting seal upon all that are wont t
speak light ofwOman.-Er.

VICE PRESIDENT COLFAX mad

VICE PRESIDENT COLFAX made a
speech in Utah, few days ago, in which
condemned polygamy, and advised
Brigham Young and the Mormons to
put an extinguisher on the "tvin relic"
For this, the admirers of the grinning,
windy, superficial Pogram have been
pleased to commend him as bold and
independent man. AS no quality of
boldne's or independence was required
to condemn what the unanimous voice
Of the people Of all civilized countries,
outside of Utah, has condemned and
punished as a crime, the praises of our
Pogrsmic vice president for his latest
effort are sadly deficient in appropriate
ness.
So far as his personal safety was con
cerned, he could make such speech in
Utah with as little fear as he could in
Chicago, and 1t was made, not with a
hope of doing good among the Mormons,
but to create a sensation in the states
and win such Aattery as is offered him
1t is cheap way to acquire reputation
for courage and honesty to condemn,
when it can be safely done, in a little
community, practices which are odioue
outside of it, and then go outside for
sympathy and praise Times.

AsUN PICTURE OF U. 9. GRANT,

We behold one whose head has been
turned by Aattery till he bankers for the
smell Of the incense; one Indifferent to
the political duties of hia office, not
aware of his Ignorance, and without a
desire to learn that which he 80 deeply
needs to know; conducting an admins
tration with frivolity that would be
discreditable in the management of
district school; greedy to be rich; wor-
shipping wealth as supreme good, and
not afraid to display before the country
and the world the immoral, the de-
bauching spectacle ola Chief Magistrate,
who appoints Cabinet Ministers who
have given him presents, and assigns
to places of trust and emolument those
who have bought his favor by donations.
The difference between the Grant OF
the better days, and the Grant who has
thus destroyed hisown enviable renown,
is something shocking and enormous.
All sorts of people make up the
world, and there are those who do not
find it degrading to keep ready for the
occupants of power perpetual hymn of
praise, no matter how unworthy their
acts, or how glazing and absolute their
misdeeds. To such persons nothing
can be more unpleasant than the voice
Of truth exposing folly or denouncing
crime in those they love to glorify
The Plymouth Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1869-1941, 1869-10-21

IT may be consolation to the De-
mocraey to know that they could have
elected straight ticket in this county,
and that the Enquirer's fusion policy
has cheated them out Of the County
Treasury and the other Offices assigned
the, FotksbiH squad. Then it may be
agreeable to the Republicans to under
stand if they save the Legislature, that
perhaps they are indebted to the Dem
ocrats voting for the Reform Rcpubli-
cans in this county for that measure of
mercy. If our Republican Reformers,
elected by Democrats, should be the
humble instruments Of the adoption of
the fifteenth amendment, that would be
n serene satisfaction.-Cm. Com.
