A CHILD OF THE STATE.
The above romantic melOdrama had
its fourth representation at Leubrie's
theater last night, and a fair attend
ance was there to witness its realistic
and touching scenes, with lively
sparkles of comedy interpreted to
give it zest and flavor. The beautiful
manner in which this piece has been
mounted, and the truthful pictures of
scenery in Holland, causes many COM
plimentary expressions tOusfd the
management. and it is believed that
no play has ever been presented here
in a better, more appropriate, or more
luxurious style, The splendid com
pany performing the piece also con-
tribute largely to render it interesting.
"a Child Of the State" will be repeated
tonight.
THE HARRIsoNs.
On Monday next the Harrison
troupe begin at Leubrie's theater with
Photos" a musical melange, spark
ling to the brim with bright sayings,

OUR GERMAN SENATOR.
Next Thursday the Gus Williams
party will open here with Our Ger.
man Senator, a dialect play, full Of
funny things, humorous hits at the
times and other features. The piece
is of a very taking character, and will
doubtless draw as its merits deserve.

Sir William Harcourt.

Twelve gentlemen, whose spirits we're
high, once agreed to dine together ia
Greenwich, England, on fixed day,
and, on the principle Of "the more the
merrier, " it was arranged that the num-
Der Of the party should be doubled by
each bringing friend. The :" friend y
in question was to be the man whom
each Of the original twelve severally and
respectively disiked the most heartily.
When the guests arrived at the Trafal-
gar there proved to be but thirteen in
all, everybody having invited Mr.. Yer
non-H Harcourt. So runs the story, which
is probably as true as most others. For
some unexplained reason, Sir William
Harcourt has never been popular per-
son. Probably two reasons initiate
against his social success. He is ex-
tremely learned, and has habit Of DEM
onstrating to gentlemen who argue with
him that they are proportionately igno-
rant Of the subject under discussion. AS

Women at the Beach.

Kind reader, didst ever see two
women bathe F.? They emerge from their
bath house looking as though they had
stolen something and expected to see
burly policeman bob around the corner,
clap his hands upon them, and exult-
ingly cry, "Now I've got you" Then
they trip along half dozen steps, not
altogether like Dundreary or a sand
piper, but somewhat resembling both.
Then one says, "Oh, dear |" and
reaches down to pick pebble out of
her shoe, while the other takes the op-
portunity to yell like pair Of panthers,
and then run back with all her might to
the bath house. Her mate, of course,
doesn't get the pebble out of her shoe,
but gets several more in to keep it from
getting lonesome Then the screamer
tiptoes down to the place and says,
"What a fool I was - The other comes
down having secured new invoice of
pebbles in transit, and screams, "What
is it?" As it is nothing but devils
apron-string, and not a snake, the
screamer again says, "What fool -
Then they laugh. But they keep their
eyes about them, and each mouth is al
ways ready to emit scream. By this
time they reach the waters edge. A
puny roller is advancing. It breaks a
little way out, and, as the line of foam
is sent up the beach they turn
and scamper with all their might. Then
one says. "What fool p And the
other replies, Il know i'll" Then they
take hold of hands, determined to do or
die. Another wave makes them finch
and tremble and scream just little,
but they keep on till the water reaches
to what would be their knees, if they
were men. Now they face each other,
each holding the two hands Of the other.
Anybody who has seen the firemen at
work on a hand-engine will understand
the motion readily. They keep this up
for five or ten minutes, talking like a
brace of parrots all the time, till one Of
them screams with all her might and
runs half way to the bath house. She
stops to remark that she knows she will
die. and looking down sees the cause of
her scare-a blade of eel-grass tightly
wound about her ankle. Spunking up
courage again, they seek the water once
more, and again the hand-engine
maneuver is repeated. Then one Of
them whispers, "There's man p And
the other says, IT don't care one bit, {"
and runs with all her might to the bath
house. Then the one who had seen the
man saunters slowly after, picking up a
shell or two on the way, pretending to
think there isn't such thing as a man
in creation. By-and-by they emerge
from the bath house, and ostentatiously
display the key, towels and bathing
dresses, chatting in most voluble man
ner. cit was just lovely! one re-
marks. And the other says she feels
$50 refreshed, you know. ."-Ne1V -Ra-

Cold Feet,

What common complaint Ills is |!
says the Family Physician, and yet no
one seems to know anything about it.
You suffer from it for years, and vet you
don't go to doctor, or if you do you
derive very little benefit from his advice.
Some people suffer from it at night only,
while others are troubled with it in the
daytime as well. It occurs most fre-
quently in women, but still you often
hear men complain of it. We believe
that the best remedy is hypophosphite
OF lime in one or two grain doses twice q
day. This is soluble in water. and
should be taken in the form of MKT
ure, nothing else being put with it,
with the exception, if you like, of tea
spoonful of sirup, to make it more pal
atable, although it is really by no means
disagreeable by itself. Another good
remedy is nux vomica-fve drops Of the
tincture in a little water three or four
times day. It is highly recommended,
and you may hope for great things from
it. Then you must do all you possibly
can to improve the state Of your general
health. It is probable that you are be-
low par somehow or other, although we
must admit that it does not follow of
necessity. IF you feel generally out Of
sorts, and your appetite is poor, quinine
will do you good. IF you are pale and
anemic, you must put your faith in iron.
Parrish's chemical food often does good.
Cod-hver oil is an excellent remedy for
improving the general nutrition !;
many people feel quite in a glow after
each dose.

POiSOnS.

If a person swallows any poison what
ever, or has fallen into commissions from
having overloaded the stomach, an in
stantaneous remedy, most efficient and
applicable in large number of cases, is
heaping teaspoonful of common salt,
and as much ground mustard, stirred
rapidly in teacupful of water, warm or
cold, and swallowed instantly. It is
scarcely down before it begins to come
up, bringing with it the remaining con-
tents Of the stomach, and lest there be
any remnant of the poison, however
small, let the white of an egg or q tea
spoonful of strong coffee be swallowed
as soon as the stomach is quiet, because
these very common articles nullify a
large number Of virulent poisons.

In the pleasant little .Rhenish town of
Biberich there lives a horse of prefer
natural sagacity, whose method Of deal
ing with an inebriate master has achieved
a well-merited celebrity. Whenever the
latter appears incapable of finding his
way from the wine-shop to his dwelling
the horse watchfully follows him hard at
heel, and, applying its forehead to his
back whenever he is about to stagger
out of his homeward path, gently
thrusts him forward in the right direc-
ton, nor ceases its timely ministrations
until it has succeeded in propelling him
to his own door.

Her stature is like any lance,

Her eyes are ever wide awake,
Though dreamy as fawn's to see.

The branch is dropping on the tree.

To be regarded by her side.

MENIORY,s CHIMES.
BIZ JENNIE JUNE.

The moon is riding high tonight;
The stars in beauty beam;
The south wind comes in spicy sighs;
I sit me down to dream.
The sweet toned voice of bygone times
In magic cadence falls,
And memory, with her dreamful voice,
My spirit soon enthralls.
81 dream of those I've loved and lost.
OF voices long since hushed;
Of joyous days-of happy years,
And hopes that death has crushed.
"My footsteps press the mossy turf.
So green about our door;
The porch is twined with ivy leaves,
AS in the days of yore;
81 see again my fathers form,
My mothers wheel hear
The songs loved are sung again,
Come floating to my ear.
IT climb across the low-barred gate,
Beneath the orchard trees;
The moonbeams play in shimmering shades
That change with every breeze;
''The apple blooms, go pearly pink,
In feathery masses lie
White scented leaves are futtering down,
Like blessings from on high;
1.-THE murmuring of far-off brook ..
Falls sweetly on mine ear;
Its dreaming, tinkling laugh is heard,
Like music, far and near;
"The village lights seem twinkling stars.
Through fitful shadows peep,
And sweeping 'cross the meadows fair
The softtoned church-bells creep.
Forgotten scenes of long ago
Are walked by memory's chimes,
And slumberous echoes bear the strain
10 childhood's early times!
"Great foods of joy sweep DER my soul,
By raptures vague I'm thrilled
AS in the depths of Lethe's wave
The ills of life are stilled."
All heart of mine, you ne'er will know
The bygone joys Of youth;
The beacon star of life now points
To Faith and Hope and Truth.
Years have passed, and stars have set,
The trees have bloomed and died again.
The birds have sung, the flowers have wept
And still my heart beats on in pain.
