gourb's Embarrassment.

The only instance Of embarrassment
could not overcome, says Mr.. Cough,
occurred many years ago. IL was my
own fault, and proved sharp lesson
TO me- | was engaged to address q
large number of children in the after
noon, the meeting TO DO held in the
lawn back of the Baptist church in
Providence, II. !. In the forenoon a
friend met me, and said:
81 have some first-rate cigars; will
you take a fewp"
mo, thank you"
'DJ take half-a-dozen.
81 have nowhere to put them"
'You can put half-a-dozen in your
cap"
wore q cap in those days, and put
the cigars into it, and at the appointed
time | went to the meeting. l ascend
ed the platform and faced an audience
of more than two thousand children.
As it was out of doors. kept my cap
on, for fear of taking cold, and for
got all about the cigars.
Toward the close of my speech l be-
came very much in earnest, and after
warning the boys against bad company,
bad habits, and the saloons, | said:
"Now, boys, let us give three rous-
ing cheers for temperance and cold
water. Now, then, three cheers. Hr-
rahr'
And taking off my cap, waved it
most vigorously, when away went the
cigars right into the midst of the au-
dience. The remaining cheers we're
very faint and were nearly drowned
in the laughter of the crowd. / was
mortified aud ashamed. and should
have been relieved could | have sunk
through the platform out of sight My
feelings we're still more aggravated by
a boy coming up the steps of the plat
form with one of those dreadful cigars,
saying;-
Here's one of your cigars, Mr..
Cough"
Though never afterwards put cigars
in my hat or cap when going to a meet
ing, l am ashamed to say it was some
timeafter before | gave up cigars alto
gether.

Lake Tahoe,

The Tahoe 7dttter says that there
are great many erroneous ideas ex-
tant relative to this lake, and announc-
es that it will make it special part Of
its business TO correct them and gives
the real facts concerning it regarding
cimatology, geology, boating, etc. II
is situated G, 220 feet above the sea, is
% miles long from north to south and
l2i miles wide, the general contour be-
ing a parallelogram. The greatest
measured depth that we have good ALL
thority for is 1906 feet. The tempera-
ture never goes below 80 degrees Fair
enheit and In summer never above GO,
unless it be near the shore in some
sheltered cove or where stream Of
un-warmed water runs into it. At a
depth of 500 feet the temperature never
changes, being 393 degrees. This fact
accounts for another--that Of drowned
persons never rising-the water being
so cold that no gases are generated.
hence the body in time simply goes tc
pieces from the action of the water, II
is as buoyant as any other pure water
at the same altitude, there being no
approciable difference in tho readings
Of the hydrometer, hence the statement
that wood does not float for any time,
persons can not swim and the like are
falacies. The air being very light at
this elevation above the level of the
sea, exercise of any kind. either on
land or water. can not be SO long con-
tinued as In lower and heavier atmos-
phtres.

The tonic effect of Kidney Wort is pro-

THE ILLUMINATION,
why the Electric Lights Did Not Work.
The SHOW 90 Come or Tonight.

Saturday night it was expected that the
electric lights which had been promised the even
ing before would surely she'd their brilliant rays
upon Pennsylvania avenue, and crowds OF people
wended their way thither to witness the illuminu-
tion. They were doomed 10 disappointment. The
illumination didn't come off. There was large
amount of grumbing at this second failure on the
part of those having the matter In charge, and
eager inquiries were made as to the cause. 1t was
ascertained that the gentlemen Of the committee
whose special duty 1t was TO look after tho electric
lights had been unremiting In their efforts, and
were as deeply disappointed at the nom -ilumina-
ton as was the general public. The power was
found to be oil right also. In regard to this
matter of power, It may be said that
permission was first asked and obtained for the
use OF the engine at the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing. When Il was aSceraincd that although
sufficient power could be obtained, a proper ar.
rnngement of the shaiting could not be made
without considerable diniculy. Mr.. John Lar.
man, the master machinst of the bureau went TO
Jacksons mill aud secured the use Of their en-.
shaiting, which was ] l5-l6 of an inch In diam.
eter and which was loaned from the stock on
hand at the Bureau, and the electric light people
wanted TO lay the blame OF the failure on
Friday night to the size Of the shaft

grounded. The shafting was all right, was used
Saturday night, and when II IL known that this

A LARGE MEAT-KNIFE,

The concert by Dodworth's Band at
Ford's Opera House last evening was one of the
most enjoyable musical entertainments that has
taken place in this city for many day, The band
looked not unlike our own Marine Band, In its
red coats although In numbers II exceeded the
latter. The programme was well selected aud the
execution fully sustained the high reputation this
band has for so many years enjoyed The soloists
showed themselves superior performers, and each
effort was greeted with prolonged applause. II is
u matter OF regret that the audience was not in
proportion to the excellence OF the concert, The
patronage wRS by no means what II should have
been and theEurbst0ne audience was larger than
that within the auditorium. Among those present
were many Of our best citizens and lovers Of music.
