Miss ELLEN coursen.

TIE Historian was yesterday hon
ored by q visit from Miss Ellen
Coursen, the Prima donna, en- route
home from a most agreeable visit 20
Oregon. Miss Coursen's engagement
in Portland, and the many social
events in her honor, render her visit
pleasant to be remembered. The lady
was somewhat fatigued from the work
of the evening previous, bat enjoyed
an hour here in watching the process
of canning fish which is always inter
esting to strangers. The Oregonian
yesterday, speaking Of her last even
ing in Portland, the occasion being
benefit performance at New Market
theatcr for Martha Washington lodge,

appeared in three numbers, ballad,
Where Is Robin, by Rocket, Licbes-
Hoifnung, by Esser, and the Spinning
and Jewel scene from Faust. The
first was English, the second German,
the third Italian. la response to an
encore for the first number size sang
The Laughing Song in French. In the
scene from Faust kliss Coursen's act
ing Was neat and very graceful. Mr..
Courscn's first solo, Fantasia Caprice,
by Nieuxtemps, was one Of his most
brilliant efforts here. His second num-
Der, Auntie, poor Auntie, 10y VIA.
Mason, was fairly rendered. Miss
Coursen played the accomplishments
for her brother with true artistic taste.

In something written we have an
indistinct recollection of having made
reference to a general disposition
among boys in their teens, as well as
boys of maturer years, TO enlighten
ana bless the world with their pro-
found knowledge of the horse and his
history. Our books and newspapers
are full of this kind Of literature, and
it varies in, style from the production
of the child at school. commencing
with: The horse has four legs and a
tail; mp TO the eloquent tribute Of the
scholar when he quotes from Job: That
his neck is clothed with thunder and
the glory of his nostrils is terrible.
He smelleth the battle afar off, the
thunder of the captains and the
shouting. Between these two eX-
tremes of the child at his first school
composition, and the professional
literature, we have every grade of pre-
tention, and each protesting to have
mastered the whole subject. As We
approach the close of this nineteenth
century, we begin to look for some
thing better in this department of
knowledge from those who assume to
instruct" And IL Is to he found in
