Mr.. ARCHIBALD FORBES, the dis
tinguished gentleman who read biz
interesting story in the Salt LAKE
Theatre a few evenings since, hsI
abandoned his proposed visit to Aus
tralis, and will return to Eogisnd az
soon IS he is well enough to travel.
He has been grievousiy afflicted by
rheumatism and other ailments dur
ing his American tour, and deems it
advisable to get home, where he may
at least rest. Speaking of Mr.. Forbes
suggests point or two about lecturers
Mr.. Forbes prices here were the
regular theatre rates. Other leotur
ers have charged the same. The con
sequence has been small audiences,
Is the rule. Those who risk the EN-.
ployment Of lecturers have seldom
made any money out Of the venture.
and in not Q few instances have Lost.
It may be true that the lecturer pro-
Viies g really better entertainment
and actually does bettsr by an audi
ence than 8 whole stage full of play
actors; but the great public is so
strangely constituted that it does not
think 30. The few who listened to
Mr.. Forbes were highly entertained,
and they went away feeling that they
had obtained the worth of their
money; but the thousands who vii
hook to the Widow Bedott" en-.
tertainment OF to the opera burlssque,
would have felt themselves cheated
out OF about fifty cents each had they
paid dollar TO listen to the war cor.
respondents stoiy. Now and then
q man comes along who is so much
OF 8 curiosity in himself that people
pay to zee, not to hear him. Beecher
was an instance. Very few cared to
hear what the gentleman had to say,
but many cheerfully paid the theatre
prices for seeing The man. There is
not so much of the "circus" element
in Mr.. Forbes, nor indeed in more
than three or four of the people who
20 upon the platform. The fact is,
lecturers charge too much. They
should, il they want full houses,
arrange the prices of admission more
in accordance With the anxiety of the
public 10 zee them, than By the in
trinsic value OF their lectures. Bob
Ingersolrs lectures may be bad for
five or ten cents each. or even cheaper |
by "Wholessls," and yet people cheer
fully pay good price 10 zee him.

IT NOW seems most unlikely that 3
harmonious result will follow the d.
liberstions Of the monetary confer
ence. England, which is the money
centre of the world, has no sympathy
with the objects of the conference, ard
is rather opposed to any change in
coin matters. Germany has a dele
gate who takes part in the discussions,
but preiaced his entry by the al
nouncement thst his government
would not be bound by the decisi d
of the conference, should that deci
SIGN be in favor OF bi-metaiism. Ger
many has been trying since 1873 to
get rid Of Ter silver, and is not an1.
ious to buy it back. France and the
United ststes are seemingly the only
countries that are really DESTROYS Tor
bi.mstalic currency. and they can
not agree upon ratio of gold to slI-
yer. America is producing so much
silver that Europe fears the adVan-
tage this oouptry would haYe were
that metal to be placed upon an
equal footing With gold. 1t lie proba-
BILE that after the delegates have thor
oughly discussed the matter they will
separate without coming 10 any
united conclusion in the premises;
but the respective governments will
have the advantage OF the ideas OF
each others finAncierr, which will be
useful in regulating coinage for them

First Gold i'm California.

Gen. Sherman has given this account of the
first discovery of gold in California
| remember one day that two men, Amer-
cans came into the office and cnquired for
the Governor. I asked their business. and
one answered that they had just come down
from Capt. Sutter on special business, and
they wanted to see Gov. Mason in person. !
took them into the Colonel and left them to-
gether. After some time the Colonel came
to his door and called me. ! went in and my
attention was directed to a series of papers
unfolded on the table, in which lay about
half an ounce of placer gold. Mason said to
me, 'What is that?' touched it, and ex-
amined one or two of the larger pieces ard
asked, els it gold?" Mason asked me if
had ever seen native gold. | answered that
in 1914 was in upper Georgia, and there
saw some native gold, but it was much finer
than this. and that in phials or in transparent
quilts; but said that if this were gold it
could easily be tcsted-first, by its malea-
bility and next, by acids. took piece in
my teeth, and the metallic lnster was perfect.
then called to the clerk (Baden) to bring
an AK and batchet from the back yard. When
they were brought took the largest piece
and beat it out fiat, and beyond doubt it was
metal, and a pure metal. Still we attached
little importance to the fact for gold was
known to exist in San Fernandy, and yet was
not considered of much value.

MIR. Blaine at Home.

The London World has added to its series
of Celebrities at Home" a sketch of Mr.
Blaine, from which, though il contains moth
ing very new. the following may be quoted:
Mr.. Secretary Blaines house is uncontesta-
bly, the most popular in Washington. On
Wednesday atternoon--the DAYS in Washing
ton when, during the session of Congress, the
wives of Cabinet Ministers and those of for
eign Ambassadors receivc-thcre is no house
in the American capital so crowded. What
ever the weather, however thin the atten-
dance in other drawing rooms. there is
always a throng at Mr.. Blaine's. Nor is
this due to the Importance of his present
position rs Secretary of State 1t was the
same when he in Congress, whether
rs member or Speaker of the House; il was
the same when he was in the Senate: il
would be the same if Mr.. Blaine were not in
politics. People go there because they like
Mr.. Blaine and all his family, which consist
of his intellectual and lady-like wife,
kinswoman of brilliant reputation in
American letters, who uses the nom de
plume of Gail Hamilton. and six fine and
promising children. In the examination
of the drawing-rooms at Mr.. Baine's we find
among other valuable possessions, one very
interesting picturc-a large canvas by Sir
Peter Lcly, representing Charles III. and his
Court. 1t is signed with the date 1858. 1t
was painted by Sir Peter for Lord Baltimore,
and was bought by Mr.. Blaine for sum of
comparative unimportance nj the sale of the
Calvert estate. Riverdale, Md, a few years
ago. There is not an art gallery in Europe,
public or private, which would not be en-
riched by this large historical picture. full Of
portraits, and executed in Lely's most delicate
and yet most animated style. Near at hand.
on a pedestal, stands fine life-sze bust of
Mr. Blaine, as good a likeness of the states
man as could perhaps be obtained in this
form of man, the charm of whose features
lies principally in their mobility and ever
changing play. Portraits of men Of letters
abound here. Dickens. Thackeray, Disraeli,
Washington Irving, Hawthorne and many
others gaze down from the walls, principally
in the last of the suit of drawing-rooms-
one in which the Premier sits of a morning
before getting to the Department of State,
examining such letters as imperatively de-
mand his attention at home. Routine cor
respondencc is carried on by secretaries in
vast room at the top of the house and is an
enormous and never ceasing task

The Pleasures of Yachting.

A yacht is mans home. He need never
be in hurry. Like Jefferson in rip Van
Wrinkle, he lives about in spots. He may
leave good deal to his skipper, but ne is
always master; he owns the craft which 9TH
ers steer, and never a humor can come into
his head which he may not indulge without
having anybody to argue with him. 1t is
fine thing to be lord of the sea in this fashion.
A captain of big ship is great man, but
he is a sort Of a slave, also. His business is
to make haste. and obstacles vex his soul.
The patent log he tows astern typiies the
condition Of his mind head sea is an
affictioD, and most of the wonders Of the
deep are great nuisances to him. He wants
TO sight nothing lie objects to excitement
and adventures. All that he prays for is fine
weather and so many nautical miles day.
These are the penalties Of having destina-
ton. The bliss Of yachting lies in the hav-
ing to go nowhere in particular, and one port
being very nearly as good another. If
you can't weather point, then there is
nothing to do but to put your helm up and
come back again.
