Tic BABY shown 70 visitors.

IL is an odd het, tina. no baby ev-
or did, and 10 baby ever will, behave
in company. The mother always
brings it into tho parlor where the
visitor is; dressed IN its clean dress
and its fatber and its aunt come in
smiling ut the same time. After the
visitor has kissed the baby and tax
en- it on her lap and declarediLis the
dearest little thing she ever saw, the
baby's mother and she begin to talk.
Each talks about her own baby ms
fast as she can rattle, and both talk
at once, apparently without caring
what the other is saying, In the
midst of the conversation the baby
"throws up" on the visitors dress,
and is suddenly handed to its moth
er The visitor smiles sickly smile
and says it makes no difference, but
she is mad. The conversation is re
sumcd, but presently the father winks
fmiously at mother and frowns, and
clears his throat and makes mySteri
Gus signals at the side of the chair
with his hand. The mother looks
down and porcCiyos that some of the
under garments are slipping off, and
she snatchcs up the infant and flies
from the room When she returns
the childcrio5 to go to its father; and
no sooner is it, settled on his knee
than it betrayj an irresistible yearn-
ing to go to its aunt, after which it
cries furiously because its mother
won't take it. Then the aunt gets Il
piece Of candy to quiet it, and when
its hands have acquired a sufficient
sickness, it reaches over and mauls
the visitors bonnet. Then its moth
or tries to show off its accomplish
ments, but itutterly refuses to make
display;it isas stupid as an OWL
1t won't say mamma" or papa"
and it won't show how big it is. Its
father tries to coaxit to say "papa"
but it pays no attention to him. He
tries again aud again, getting mad
der all the time and dreadfully af-
fraid tho visitor will think The child
is dull. AT last he grabs the child by
the arm and shakes it and yells.
"why don't you say papa as tell
you?" Then the child screams like
backyard full of cats. The more
the mother soothos it the louder it
gets, until at last the father cx-
claims, "Gi' me that brat!" and then
picksit up and dashes from the room
and is h,ard spanking it in the en-
try. Then the visitor goes home
looks at her dress and decides that
the end of that infant will be the gal
lows, if its characteristics are allow
to develop fully as it grows up.

Dimdence Of Great Men.

1t may comfort some ofour readers,
troubled with an excess of modesty,
to know that great men have been
diHidcnt in company and have bro
ken down when attempting to speak.
The eloquent Robert Hall made an
utter failure the first time he at.
tempted to speak.
The great Pitt was exceedingly
shy in his intercourse with great men.
Lord Camden was on terms Of the
greatest intimacy with him, as Pitt
was at his house one day, he remark.
cd:
"My children have heard so much
about you that they are anxious to
have glimpse of the great man.
They are now at dinner. Will you
oblige me by going in with me a
momeLt?"
30, pray don't!" said the orator in
great alarm. "What would say to
therh?"
Give them the pleasure of seeing
you, at least" said his lordship laugh.
ing, as he pushed him into the room.
The Prime Minister of England
approached the little group, There
he stood looking alternately at the
father and the children, and twirl.
ing his hat for a few minutes with
out being able to utter a sentence.
When Daniel Webster was a school
boy, he tells us; "NIany a piece did |
commit to memory and rohearse it
over and over again in my room, but
when the day came, when school col
lected, when my name was called
and ] saw all eyes turned upon my
seat, | could not raise myself from
it,"
Cowpor's friends purchased him Il
place as Clerk of the House of Lords,
where his duties only required him
to stand up and read parliamentary
documents. The thought of stand.
ing up before such an audience was
so terrible to him that as the time
drew on, he was in agony of apprc.
hcnsion and tried to hang himself.

4 View Cereal Discovered.

We have been shown, says the
Ventura (Cal.) Free Press, a new
grain, discovered about four years
ago by a farmer in Surprise Valley,
in the northern part of California,
taken from the crop of wild goose
which had been shot by the farmer,
He sowed the seed Immediately. after
it was taken from the garner of the
birds crop, and it produced more
than an hundred fold. Mr.. mori-
thew, a farmer of this county, being
on a visit to Surprise Valley, obtain
ed some few seeds of the new grain
and succeeded in propogating it
with wonderful results on his farm
in Butte county. The straw and
bcardlcss head resemble wheat; the
grain looks little like rye, but is
twice as large as rye. When cut as
it is passing into the milk it makes a
hay even superior to wheat hay
Mr.. Merilhcw has on hand several
tons of hay from This new variety of
grain, and perhaps five bushels Of
its seed. He gave about two quarts
Of the seed to one of our citizens
lately visiting Butte county, who
was struck with the wonderful beau
ly of this new cereal, and brought it
to Southern California for propaga-
ton. Thomas r. Bard has taken
the seed and proposes to give it Il
thorough test upon the rich alluvial
lands of the Colonial Rancho, near
the sea shore. 1t could not have fall
en- into hands of more intelligent
and painstaking cultivator. 1t APP
pears to us every way superior to
rye, and may prove to be of great
utility, as it is u fine grower and
very productive,

Senator Thurman has recovered from
his attack Of illness brought on by CAM
paign work, and yesterday gave his view
upon the result in Ohio to q reporter Of
the Inquirer. He said:
II am not in the least discouraged by
the Ohio elections. ! had hoped for
b..ter result, but feared it would be worse.
This il the first year the issue has been
clearly defined between the people and the
national banks, and, though questions OF
monetary science are usually dry themes
for discussion, they have begun to Absorb
the attention of the people this year and
they took little interest in any other. Had
we faltsrsd ON this question we should
have BEEN beaten far worse. The platform
of this year strengthened the Ohio Democ'
racy greatly. Then if we add to our vote
that of the National party or Greenback-
err, the Republicans, or the rarty Of the
national banks, are 10 minority Of thous-
ADDS. Yes tens of thousands of votes.
Then remember how their candidates
and orator. prevaricated. Secretary Sher-
man came out here to tell them he wanted
to keep 500, 900, 900 in greenbacks in cir
eulation-a declaration that has brought
on him the severest denunciations of bank
advocates in the East. Foster said in his
speech that he wanted all the greenbasks
now outstanding kept in circulation, and
Mckinley and Van Worries were both
urged for election because they were
greenback men. Others lodged the quss-
tion altogether just as their platform
lodged it. But the national banks could
not be deceived, and they and the hundred
thousand oficeholders supplied the sinews
of war. As the result never before in
Ohio was there so corrupt use Of money
in an election. I don't say that the ma
tional banks in their corporate capacity
furnished money, but their shareholders
and dependents did. Of course Democrats
lost some votes by assailing banks, just as
there were desertsrs from that party when
jackson vetoed the bill TO charter the old
national banks. But our losses were more
than compensated by gains from the other
side.
