two years and five months.
"And this Is the darling's portion,
In Heaven, where he has fed,
By angels securely guarded,
By angels securely led.
Brooding In sorrowful silence
Over the empty nest,
Can you not see through the shadows,
Why it is all for the best ?'
"Better the heavenly kingdom
Than riches Of earthly crown;
Better the early morning flight,
Than one when the sun Is down;
Better an empty casket,
Than jewels besmirched with sin;
Safer than these without the fold,
Are those that have entered In" II.

Visiting the Sick Room.

Nobody should venture INTO sick
room when in a state of perspiration, for
the moment the body becomes cold it is
in state likely to absorb the infection
nor visit sick person if the csmplaint
be of contagious nature, with an empty
stomach, nor swallow your saliva. In
attending sick person, place yourself
where the air passes from the door or
window to the bed of the invalid, not
between the invalid and the fire, as the
heat of the fire will draw the infectious
vapor, and there is danger in the breath
ing OF it.

st. Paul Pioneer: The Mennonites are
using twisted hay extensively for fuel in
the prarie districts of the state. This
expedient was introduced by the Men
nonites from Russia, who have long been
accustomed to live in regions wholly
destitute of forests or coal, and to use
twisted grass or hay as substitute. 1t
is found to answer the purpose admlra'
bly, A steam saw mill and grist mill at
Worthiugton is run with this sort OF
fuel 1t is much cheaper than wood
or COAL and quite as good for heatin g
purposes, when the process of prepara'
ton is fully understood, and we believe
the Menonites use peculiar kind OF

GA CELEBRATED CASE.

This play, which is to be brought out by
the Union Square Company, at the Carson
Theater, to- morrow night, is thus spoken O
BY the San Francisco Post The play deals
with the wrongs of a French soldier, whom
terrible confederation of circumstances point
out as the murderer of his own wife, and who
is accused of the crime by his own five yeal
old child. He is condemned to the galleys
and while in that thralldom meets his daugh-
ter, now grown to womanhood. The recog-
milton is mutual, and the daughters object
IN life thenceforward is to clear the good
name of her father. The real criminal is a
camp follower, who commits the bloody deed
TO become possessed OF some jewels and papers
which had been entrusted to the falsely &C
cused Jean Renaud by d dying nOblemari,
Count de Mornay. These Renaud had left
with his wife for safe keeping. The denoue-
ment of the play is the exposure of the assas
sin, who has been enabled by the discovery of
the papers to successfully persOnate the
Count de Mornay, and the establishment Of
Renaud's innocence. The above is the mcY-
est skeleton Of II plot on which is hung such
an abundance of incident, strong dialogue and
pow erful situations that the keenest interest
Is preserved from the rise to the fall of the
curtain in the evolution of the somewhat
morbid motive. 1t is not without some color
Of reason that "A Celebrated Case has been
billed under the pretentious title of ''the
greatest play OF the century" The story is a
very powerful and intensely dramatic one,
and is unusually prolific III incident When
the prologue had unfolded two acts, each
ending with situation stronger than that
which calls down the curtain IN many popu-
lar pieces, Ii seemed almost impossible that
the authors could have avoided an nti-clmaX
in some or all of the four curtains of the play
proper Such, however is the skillful construc-
ton and the admirable evolution Of the story
that the interest is kept steadily on the in
crease until the denouement exposes the vii
lain and rewards suffering virtue. 1t was
we'll handled 10y the company. Mr.. O'Neil
,Jean Renaud) and 1Ir. Morrison Count de
Norway, as old friends Of the California pub
lie, were accorded a generous welcome, pretty
nearly equal i'll enthusiasm Nj. ONcIl,
however, carried off the honors Of the per
formance, playing throughout III the sub
lued style now So popular, but with a re
pressed power which, always felt, broke forth

with effect. BIr Mackay, in an Irish char
