TEE OLD Folks CONCERT under the auspices
Of the ladies of the Baptist church, MS repeated
at the Opera House on Thursday evening was a
very decided improvement on the entertainment
rs first given. Everything moved smoothly and
with sufficient rapdity, and the voices through
out seemed in better training. The cpcnH 9
overture, from Massinelo, also added immense
~ to the general aggregate. Though performed
with but seven instruments, when il takes forty

sic as one ever hears in Ottawa. It's unncces
sary 10 go over the programme in detail and
distribute the honors TO the various singers and
performers as they deserve; but the general re-
mark is justified that most Of the solos, duets,
quintets, &c, were sufficiently well executed to
have figured respectfully in concert of much
higher preten5ioHs, while the chorus singing
was positively fautless. We were pleased TO
see good house, and hope the encouragement
thus given may lead to other efforts in that way

A wholesale dealer in human hair in
formed Times reporter to-day that
since the deaths by small pox have been
so numerous, the offerings of hair in
the local market have greatly increased,
and Investigation showed that the hair
had, In many instances, been cut from
the heads of the victims of this loath-
some disease. The hair of this descrip-
ton is offered only to the very small
dealers or spectators, and the large
dealers take only sucn hair as they are
certain has been taken from the heads
of living persons. In fact, the hair
dealers just now exercise continual Wig
lance in this matter, and will buy only
"well authenticated" hair. However,
it is well enough for our bellies to
guard against the contract of this ma
ignant disease through such source,
and be careful in their choice of
natural tresses for the benefit of
their beaux and themselves.

An Original Idea.
Free Press.

A Michigan avenue saloon-keeper
whose place has got cleaned out two or
three times by roughs has got things
fixed to his liking now. There is trap
door ten feet square in front of the bar,
worked by spring, and when q rough
strikes the counter and begins to raise
a row he is dropped into the cellar. A
pail of hot water is flung over him by
the same machinery, and hickory
club, worked by steam, strikes him
ninety eight times q minute. When
the fellow finally gets clear of the ma.
chinery big dog welcomes him, snuff
is thrown into his eyes, and he reaches
the street with solemn VOW upon his
lips to become one OF the most axem-
plary men of Detroit.

father Of James Finch, was captain in

THE
EYE OF THE COMMANDER.
BY BRET HARTE.
A Tale of Early California.

BY BRET HARTE.
The year of grace 1896 passed away
on the coast at California in a south
westerly gale. The little bay of Don
Carlos, albeit sheltered by the headland
of the Blessed Trinity, was rough and
turbulent. Its foam hung quivering to
the seward wall of Mission Garden.
The air was filed with flying sand and
spume; and as the senior commandante,
Hermeneglido Salvatierra, looked from
the deep embrasured window of Pre-
sidio guard-room, he felt the salt breath
of the distant sea buffet color into his
smoke-dried cheeks
Tie commander, ] have said, was
gazing thoughtfully from the window
of the guard room. Ee may have been
revived from the events of the year now
about to pass away. But, like the
garrison of the Preside, there was little
to revive. The year, like it's prede-
oessors, had been uneventful. The day
had slipped by In a delicious monotony
of simple duties, unbroken by incident
of interruption. The regular recurring
feasts and saints days, the half yearly
courier from San Diego, the rare trans
port ship, and the rarer foreign vessel.
were the -nere details of his patriarchial
life. If there was no achievement
there certainly was no fail
ure. Abundant harvests and patient
industry amply supplied the wants of
Preside Mission. Isolated from the
family Of nations, the wars which shook
the world concerned them not SO much
as the last earthquake. The struggle
that emancipated their sister colonies on
the other side of the continent, to them
had SO suggestivencss. In short it was
that glorious Indian summer of Cali
fornia history, around which much
poetical haze still fingers that blaI d,
incident autumnof Spanish rule, so soon
to be followed by the wintry storms of
Mexican independence and the reviying
spring of American conquest.

The Empress Eugene Laces.

EfOm Iuo NOW 4OrK deralQ.
In June last, after long and tedious
search by Captain Bracket of the
Treasury Department, the authorities
seized lot of very fine lace goods,
which afterwards were more Familiarity
known as the Empress Eugene" laces,
among them being dress of exquisite
make, and valued at Sc, 900 in gold and
other articles, making total value Of
S., 600. It is charged that the articles
were struggled into this port as per-
sonal baggage, and upon this ground is
based the suit for forfeiture. The suit
came up for trial, yesterday morning,
before Judge Blatchford, iii the
United States District Court. The
claimant, James Hoorix, was originally
manufacturer of laces at Brussels, and
made the dress and other articles in
question for exhibition at the Paris
Exposition of 1867, where it was award
ed the first prize in that department..
The articles attracted great attention
aud gained the above name from the
fact that it was understood they would
be purchased by the Empress Eugene.
Hoorix failed in business in 1878, and
in the fall of the same year came to
this port, bringing the laoes with him,
not having Effected their sale, and pass
ing them through the Custom house as
personal baggage. The defense set up
is that he lad previously given them
to his wife, and, as her personal wear
ing apparel, they were not subject to

SUNSET ON THE BEAROAMP.

BY JOHN g. WHITTIER.
T. gold fringe on the purpling hem
Of hills the river runs,
As down it's long. green valleys falls
The last Of Summers suns.
Along it's tawny gravel-bed
Broad-fowing, swift, and still,
As if it's meadow levels felt
The hurry of the bill,
Noiseless between it's banks Of green
From curve to curve it snps;
The drowsy maple-shadows rest
Like fingers on it's lips.
A waif from CAROLS widest hills,
Unstoried and unknown;
The ursine legend Of it's name
Prowis on it's banks alone.
Yet flowers ss fair its slopes adorn
As ever Yarrow knew,
Or, under rainy Irish skies,
By Sponsors Mulla grew
And through the gaps of leaning trees
Its mountain cradle shows;
The gold against the amethyst,
The green against the rose.
glory never sung,
Aloft on sky and mountain wall
Are Gods great pictures hung.
How changed the SUBMITS vast and old!
No longer granite browed.
They melt in rosy mist; the rock
Is softer than the cloud;
The valley holds it's breath no leaf
Of all it's elms is twirled;
The silence OF eternity
Seems falling on the world.
The pause before the breaking seals
OF mystery is this;
Yon miracle-pla of night and day
Makes dumb it's Witnesses.
What unseen altar crowns the hills
That reach up stair on stair
What eyes look through, what white wings far
These purple wells OF air?
What Presence from the heavenly heights
To those Of earth stoop down?
Not vainly Hellas dreamed of gods
On Ida's snowy crown!
Slow fades the vision of the sky,
The golden water pales,
And over all the valley-land
gray-winged vapor sails.

The sunset fires will burn,
The flowers will blow, the river flow,
When no more return.
No whisper from the mountain pine
Nor lapsing stream shall tell
The stranger, Greading where tread,
Of him who loved them well.
But beauty seen is never lost,
Gods colors all are fast;
Tie glory of this sunset heaven
into my soul has passed
A sense Of gladness unconfned
To mortal date or cline;
AS the soul Eveth, it shall live
Beyond the years of time.
Beyond the mystic asphodels
Shall bloom the hone-born flowers,
And new horizons flush and glow
With sunset hues Of ours.
Farewell these smiling hills must wear
Too soon their wintry frown,
And snow-cold winds from off them shake
The naples red leaves down.
But shall see Summer sun
Still setting broad and low;
The mountain slopes shall blush and bloom,
The golden water flow.
A lovers claim is mine on ai'
see to have aud hold
The rose light of perpetual hills,
And sunsets never cold
