A Bad Year for Circuses.
Ne,o York Sun.


This has been bad year for the employees
of circuses. Rarely has there been Zine
when more Of them have come to grief. In
May, Elizabeth Davene, trapeze performer,
died In this city from the effects of fall re-
ceived in one Of her performances. There
have been several railroad accidents to cir
Gus trains in which performers were killed
and MANNED. In Kentucky, last week, two
men were killed in collision, and Louisa
Montague, better known as the'$l0,O 900 Beau
ty," was severely injured, her face being
badly lacerated. Recently, Rosina Richard
son, Barnum's fat woman, died, and that
same night, in Tennessee, Kinkade, q ia
nous tumbler, missed his tips" in turning
somersault, and broke his neck. These
are but few Of the many recent mishaps.
There has also been heavy loss to circus pro-
prietors by the death Of lions, tigers, ele-
plants, and other animals which ha We here
and there fallen victims to the hardships In
cidentsl to summer on the road.

Thorough knowledge Of one period helps
to the mastery of another. No man can read
all history--no man, one would think, can
read all English history--from the begin
ming to the end, in minute detail, from origi-
nal writer's, He must trust second hand AL
thorities and modern commentators for
large part of the story. But he who has
thoroughly mastered one or more periodsby
original research gains certain tact which
enables him to deal almost as master,even
with those periods on which he has not
brought original research to bear. He-ac-
quires kind of instinct, by which he sees
which secondary and modern writer's are to
be trusted and which are not. He does not
profess to know every detail Of the periods
with which he deals in this secondary way,
As he knows every detail Of the period which
he chooses specially for his own. ~ But. he
can grasp the real meaning and bearing Of
the story; he can. SO to speak, put forth his
hands and pick out the leading facts among
mass Of details, in way which 4 man who
is not thorough master Of any period can
not do.

President Garfeid's Executive CLERK
Gath, IN Cincinnati Enquirer.

Gath, In Cincinnati Enquirer.
You have observed the rather new name
Of Warren Young in the newspapers As being
the first Of Garfeld's clerks or secretaries
tell the outside world that Garfield was dead.
When Garfield was member Of Congress
and his party in power, he put . modest
young man, Warren Young, in the document
room Is one of the clerks. A man Of the
studious habits Of Garfield, prominent inde-
bate, required the documentary library close
at hand, and this he accomplished through
Mr.. Young, who was but q boy, but indus
trious, prudent, and deyoted to Garfield.
When Garfield was preparing an argument
or report he would send Young to CLEAN
from this accumulation Of the past ninety
years everything pertaining to the subject In
hand. Meantime, Young also worked for
every member of Congress who wanted doc
uments, being in the employ Of the whole
Congress and not Of any individual. His
chief work for Garfield was done after hours,
and almost every night he was at Garfeld's
house with his papers, or to help get of the
the Generals mall. After Garfield was nom
mated, in recognition Of Mr.. Young's having
frequently hunted up documents for me, i
put his name Inf these dispatches that he bad
been faithful laborer for the President and
probably would not be forgotten now. l had
not seen Young for several years, but just
after that I met him on the streets Of WASH
ington, and he said ." am much obliged to
you for that notice." "Well," said l, al
guess 1t was not necessary" al don't know
about that, = said Young. "Garfeld Is some
times apt to think that when man has got
employment be may IS well let HIM slore
In IL and not disturb him with promises Of
something better. He doesn't tempt man
much out Of such work Is he has" Mr..
Young passed out Of mr. mind aftert that, un-
I'll, when looked at the story Of the Presi-
dents death, I found that it was he who
came out late At night sobbing scross the
grass, and being hailed by the reporters Was
unable to answer, for his emotion, for some
moments, but At last got cut the words: "It
Is AL over" which was the first news outside
Of that chamber the world had that the Pres
idcns was dead. .t 4

A Cometic Exhib,tion.

Two comets have been visible to the un-

HER BEAUTY.
ARTHUR o'sHAUGHNEssY

knew that in ber beauty was the healing
Ofsorrows, and the more than earthly cure
OF earth-begotten ills that man may endure,
Gnawed on by cares, or blown by winds of
feeling.
For in her beauty was the clear revealing
OF Truth; and with the sight man grew
pure,
And all his life and thinking steadfast, sure,
As one before shrine of Godhead kneeling
But, then, alas! ! saw that she was made
No whit less mortal, frail-or she might miss
Death-than the summer substance of a
flower;
That on her beauty death had even laid
A touch, and in the distance called her his,
And that might steal her beauty every hour.

PORTLAND, October 23.-Henry Willard
had conference with some forty prominent
business men of this city on Saturday after
noon. The meeting was presided over by
Mayor Thompson. The visitor was intro
duced by K. Macleay, and spoke an hour and
q half He explained clearly to the listeners
his views In regard to transportation. His
remarks were to the effect that those Port
landers who imagined il was his intention
to make this city the focus of the entire
transportion system Of the Northwest were
correct, but 1t was not his intention to build
up Portland at the expense of other cities,
nor was It his intention to discriminate in
favor or against any town. But IS the mat
ter of transportation was purely business
affair, he intended so to conduct It as to as
sure the best interests of the consumer and
the producer, and If wheat could be shipped
cheaper from Kalama or the Sound than
from this place, 1t would be done. In such
case our merchants could build warehouses
there and have wheat shipped at those
points. In any event the rivers ought to be
dredged and kept open to navigation.
Mayor Thompson stated that the dredge
would soon be ready, and that the working
time still available would be amply sufficient
to remove the distractions which at present
impede our navigation, and that hereafter
the city would raise by taxation 5000
yearly, which would be sufficient to pay the
expenses of this dredging.
Mr.. Willard limited at the probability Of
large iron industries being started here, and
stated that 1t was possible he might run
line of steamers direct from here to Liver
pool. From estimates supplied him by Cap
tain Gorringe, he was satisfied that the
scheme was feasible. "A steamship could
make the passage from there to Liverpool
by coalipg at the Straits of Magellan and
coming back with immigrants, bringing coal
to resupply the station for the return trip to
Liverpool. '"...
In the course Of his remarks Mr.. Willard
iutimated that the Portlanders were not
fully awakened to, nor their city prepared
for, the elimination Of the great system Of
transportation now in course of construc-
tion. He said that in q short time 1900
miles of railroad, tributary to this city,
would be completed, and that in two years
we would have connection with Lake
Superior and be the terminus of 5000 miles
stretch Of rail. Mr.. Willard and party will
leave for the East on Wednesday next,

The /" Boy Preacher"

Professor Swing, in the Chicago Alliance,
gives parting salute to the juvenile evange-
list who has recently come with his little
slinp to San Francisco TO meet the Goliath
of ungodliness In his reputed stronghold. He
says: at Is probable that he (Harrison)
gained his title from the fact, that having
been once a 'boy,' he fossilized In that con-
dition and did not, like the common run Of
urchins, pass ON 70 manhood. Like certain
Juices Of grapes and apples, he was arrested
in the boyish state Of fermentation and bot
tied for use In future years.
He has that playfnlness Of style, and that
regularity of speech and logic, and that free
and easy relation with the great personages
Of the Bible that indicate the influence Of
some seven or eight Summers In the world.
All the facts, % far -
known, Justify the appellation, Boy Preach

OLD GRANDPA'S SoLrLoQUY.


1t wasn't so when / was young
We used plain languag, thea;
We didn't speak Of "thrm gaiIoots,'
Meanin' boys or NEIL
When speaking of the penmanship
OF Joe, or Tom, or Bill,
We did 1t plain-we didn't say,
"He slings a nasty quill"
An when we saw girl we liked,
Who never failed TO please,
We called her pretty, neat and good,
But not "about the cheese"
Well, when we met a good old friend,
We hadn't lately seen,
We greeted him, but didn't say,
"Hello, you old sardine"
The boys sometimes got mad an fit,
We spoke of kicks and blows
But now they ''punch him on the snoot,'
Or paste him on the nose"
Once, when youth was turned away
BY her he held most dear,
He walked upon his feet-but now
He "walks off on his ear"
We used to dance when was young,
And used to call it so;
But now they dont-they only ''sling
The light fantastic toe"
OF death we spoke in language plain
That no one did perplex;
But In these days one doesn't die
He epasses In his checks"
We praised the man of common sense |;
"His judgments good" We said;
But now they say, "Well, that old plum
Has got level head"
It's rather sad the children now
Are learning all such talk;
They've learnt to "chin" instead Of chat
An "waltz" instead OF walk.
To little Harry yesterday
NY grandchild aged two

"You bet your boots do"
The children bowed to strangers once;
II Is no longer So

oh, give me back the good old days,
When both the old and young
Conversed In plain old-fashioned words,
And slang was never ''slung"

TIGER-LILIES.

THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH.
I like not the lady-slippers,
Nor, yet, the sweet-pea blossoms,
Nor, yet, the fiaky roses,
Red or white as snow;
like the chaliced lilies,
The heavy Eastern lilies,
The gorgeous tiger-lilies,
That in our garden grow.
IL.
For they are tall and slender,
Their mouths are dashed with crimson,
And when the wind sweeps by them,
On their emerald stalks
They bend so proud and graceful
They are Circassian women,
The darlings Of the harem
Adown our garden walks
And when the rain is falling,
sit beside the window
And watch them grow and glisten-
How they burn and glow!
oh, for the burning lilies,
The tender Eastern lilies,
The gorgeous tiger-lilies
That in our garden grow!
