An Old Time Gathering.

Once'on time, many years ago, says
Forney, l saw Webster, Benton, John NJ.
Clayton, James Buchanan, Judge Doug
las, and William r. KING at dinner, l
was a sort of David Copperfield among
them-a minnow among Tritons. But
never shall forget their conversation
and their humor. Buchanan was a capi-
tai host. He did not tell good story,
but he enjoyed one; and when Webster
was reused he kept a table in roar
Clayton was full of fun, and " Col King"
as they used to call the bachelor Senator
from Alabama, was amusing in his dry
way. Douglas was almost unrivalled.
His repartee was flash, and his courtesy
as knightly as if he had been born in
the best society. But none OF them
could surpass Sam Ward either in giving
good dinner or in seasoning it with
Alta wit and Chestertieldian politeness.
Rough John G. Rives, of the Globe,
was different character. His anecdotes
always had special flavor, and never a
sting. One day, when Douglas and a
few of us were standing in The Hole in
the Wall, a celebrated resort for Sena-
tors and members, Rives came in and
Joined us. 1t was in 1854, Just after
Douglas had introduced his bill to repeal
the Missouri compromise line. Rives,
like his partner, Francis P Blair, was
opposed to it, and made no hesitation in
saying so. Douglas twitted him about
getting out of the party lines, and tried
to convince him that his measure was
right. 81 don't like it, Douglass, and
never can like it. 1t is uncalled for. 1t
reminds me of the fellow who, having
gone pretty nearly through all the fol-
lies of life, teok it into his head to hire
bully to do his fighting. He made a
contract with the stoutest bruiser he
could find, and they started on their
journey down the Mississippi. At every
landing the quarrel was picked by the
one and the battle fought by the other.
1t was tough work sometimes, but rather
enjoyable. AT last they reached New
Orleans. On the levee they found a
stout, brawny stevedore, and after some
chatting row was started, and the two
began to pummel each other. They
were well matched, but, aided by his ex-
perience, the bully beat the stevedore.
Il say, boss, said his fighting man, 1
give up this job; you is too much for
me Idont see any reason in that ere last
.fghtP" OF course the laugh was against
Judge Douglas, and none relished the
hit more than himself.

The Duchesse dAng0uleme Pear.

Fuller, in his Pear Cultmist, relates
the following bit of romance in coxnec-
ton with the celebrated Duchesse dan
gouleme pear A French nobleman, OBJ
serving his tenant about to destroy a
fine, thrifty pear tree, inquired the
cause. He was told that it was chance
Seeding, and had borne no fruit in
twenty years, He had already cut its
roots preparatory to the first stroke, but
was ordered to let it remain. He did so,
and in the following year it was loaded
with superb fruit of all entirely unknown
variety, which at once became celebra-
ted. The root-pruning the gardener had
given it worked like charm. Not many
years afterwards, when the Duchesse
d'Angouleme was passing through
Lyons, its inhabitants sent to her their
hospitalities. Nine fair maidens pre-
sented the Duchesse with golden salvers,
on which lay headed this precious fruit,
and begged her to bestow on it her
name, and the pear, now recognized as
the crowning glory of all fruits, was
thenceforward known as the Duchesse
d'Angouleme.

Let us Have Light.

The american Builder says: "Do not
arrange your house so as to violate Gods
first command. Give it many windows,
and then, o housewife, keep your blinds
open during the day, and your curtains
drawn aside. If you let the sun in freely
it may fade your carpets, but if you do
not it will be sure to cause i'll l.health to
the mother and children. The sun is a
good physician. He has never had due
credit for his curative qualities-for the
bright eyes and rosy cheeks that come
from his healing bath. Do you know
how puny is the growth of the potato
vine along the darkened cellar wall :
Such is the health of human beings liv-
ing where the sun is intercepted by the
windows drapery. So dark wall paper
is not only gloomy, but it is physically
unwholesome. Let in the sun, for with
it come cheerfulness and strength! A
dark room is an enemy of good health,
good temper and good morals"

Edwin Forests Will.

A caveat has been filed by Mr. Dough-
erty, attorney for Mr.. Forrest, in the
Office of Register of Wills, notifying and
restraining him from taking any action
relative to the estate of the late Edwin
Forrest. The object of this, so it is said,
is merely to prevent any action until the
regularly. attested will of the deceased is
presented for probate. 1t is understood
that the divorced wife of the deceased
tragedian has a claim to her dover, and
will, no doubt, present the same and
press it strongly. When divorced there
was an alimony allowed of $4,000 per
year, which she will now cease to obtain.
1t is stated that in all real estate trans
actions, in way of sales made by Mr..
Forrest, a reservation always had to be
made relative to the wife's interest. The
value of the estate is variously estima-
ted, but no definite figures can be given
at present.

POPULAR FALLAcY AND DEcEPTIoNs.
1t is an infrmity of man to cling to
the teachings of past generation, and to
stubburnly resist the light Of reform and
progress, which attempts to break mp
the darkness of his understanding and
to dispel the fallacy-that all his ways
are not ways of pleasantness, nor all his
paths of peace. Health-reform. Tenn
perance- growth, present interests, which
are jealously watched over by the har-
pies Of an antiquated school of phlebot
omizing medical professors op the one
hand, and the Poison-Bitters compound
ers on the other. The reformatory school
OF to-day, is sapping the foundations of
these error-structures, which thrive at
the expense of human suffering and life.
One great prevailing deception of the
present age, is the impression that every
human biped of either sex must be slim
ulated, and;the poisoned chalice is labeled
" Medical Bitters," the better to palliate
their use and more tolerantly to prolong
the Epidemic. One of the most Jealous
workers TO cure this malady, and supply
the remedy,-being an ardent advocate
of Temperance-is DIR. JOSEPH WALKER,
Inventor and Proprietor of the famed
CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITTERs. He be-
lieves in making Bitters that are "true
medicine" and relies upon the sick man 8
desire for health to swallow a draught,
that will, like the "waters of Jordan, F"
wash out the Leprosy of his disease. In
this faith he is steadfast, and his VINE
GAR BITTERs of to-day, though con-
tradiction tothe general character of all
other Bitters, are as great success and
Life Vitaliser, most indisputable evidence
OF one popular fallacy and deception

THE LAKEs.-An idea of the perils at
tending navigation upon the great lakes
can be gained from the fact that during
the present year there have been S63 dis
asters of serious character to vessels
sailing upon them, and of this number
2O9 were of vessels driven ashore, so be-
coming total wrecks. Nearly all of these
catastrophes have occurred since Aug
ust, as up to that time the weather was
unusually propitious, and, bad as is the
record of the year, it is better than that
OF either of the four previous seasons. 1t
is evident from these figures that there is
more than an abundance of foul weather
or poor seamsHship upon the lakes.

THREE LOVES.

I have known various loves of women: one
Gave all her soul, tshe said) but kept intact
Her matble lips, and ever seemed to shun
Loves Establishments, as If his lightest act
Were fatal to his life. Another gave
Whatever smiles and kisses could mpart
To pleasure me; Withholding little save
What she, alas had not-a loving heart
Poor, dear dead flowers l-One with no root in earth
And enc no breath Of Heavens sustaining air.
No marvel briefly they survived their birth;
And then my true-love oamo-0 passing fair
Beyond the twain Whose soul and sense unite
In perfect bloom for Loves supreme dolghtl

NEW DAILY PAPER.

The Doay Ecening Standard, Of Lawrence,
Kansas, appears as candidate for journal
istic success. II is a natural outgrowth oil
the thrifty Weeyy Standard, and while it Is
not large and commanding. yet it gives
promise of good growth. 1t is alively and
cheerful paper, with the courage to express
opinions on current topics, and We believe
it will succeed. What strengthens this be-
lief is the fact that the right kind Of q start
has been made. In its future course II will
enlarge rather than diminish in size. One
half the failures in journalistic ventures car
lie ascribed to the ambition Of publishers 70
make the first number of their paper as large
and complete as old established papers.
