Mr.. Shipherd has the floor to-day again.
A correspondent says: keen gray eyes,
looking out of frank, pleasant face that
is framed IN by very light auburn hair and
full beard Of the same color. a stout,
rather short figure weighing probably POO
pounds. m agreeable voice. manner at
the same time alert and composed, these
are the prominent features which mark
the personality of Jacob X. Shipherd. who
describes himself as a COUNSELLOR law
and q resident Of Queens county, New
York. Mr.. Shepherds chief claim to
fame rests on the fact that he is president
Of the Peruvian Company. and upon the
letters which he has written in that capac-
ity to various officers and men in public
life."
Let us look right at home and see how
manyof our trades or occupations are either
wholly or partially excluded from the benefits
Of protection. Our retail traders are not
benefited. Neither are our house or ship
carpenters. nor our painters, nor our car
riage makers, nor our boot and shoe manu-
features, nor our blacksmiths. nor our farm
ers to any great extent-Progressir Age
1t is marvellous that a newspaper will
place such piece of nonsense as the
above before its readers. They know it
Is false and absurd. Look at Lewiston.
Protection has made it what it is. a busy,
thriving. growing city. Strike down its
cotton mills. and down go its retail stores
for want of customers; and its house car
penters and painters. its boot and shoe
manufacturers and blacksm would have
to tramp to some other place for employ
ment or starve. What a market Lewiston
also furnishes to the farmers around it.
They know the value to them of home
market. Wherever manufacturing in.
dustries start up and thrive. there traders.
mechanics. laboring men. and farmers in
the vicinity thrive Also and it is the en-
enlargement and aid which the protective
tariff furnishes to such manufacturing in
dustries that enables them to start and
grow until they can establish themselves
upon living basis.

night focus of Gotham gayety. The rest of

Excepting the wicked end of the Bowery
about all the public insomnia is in the
Madison square neighborhood Tho idea OF
New York being awake and noisy all night
is mistake. Whole square miles are as
still after nightfall as Vermont village.
The "ceaselessroar OF traffic" is pure fancy.
Broadway is deserted for almost its entire
length from a reasonable bedtime until day
light. The exception is Madison square,
with few squares above, below and along.
side; and this is the liveliness impaired by
pleasure seakers. Ten theatres are here in
a stretch of as many blocks, and FIVE more
are not far away. Thus at least 20, 600 per.
sons come into this area at about o'clock
every evening. They throng the sidewalks,
crowd the horse cars and stages, and make
the pavements lively with carriages. But
the great majority arrive afoot walking
from the nearest elevated railroad station.
A New York theatre of the fashionable kind
fills all of sudden. The lower and second
tiers are sold in reserved seats, 80 that the
audience has no need to be in place before
the time for the curtain to rise As for the
galleries, it is exceptional for them TO have
any occupants worth mentioning.

CALIFORNIA AGRICULTURE.

orchard in February. 1t was on IN affiuent

Sacramento miles below He declined SELL
ing. A few days later, in Mapeh, the whole
orchard was buried beneath ten thousand
tons of coarse gravel and boulders brought
down in rushing food from the auriferous
gravel mines above. In the twinkle of IN eye
every tree disappeared. Only here and
there could be seen tree-top to indicate the
locality of the orchard which few months
before was famous for its wealth of varied
fruitage. 1t is now forever debarred from
resurrection by dense forest of willows thir-
ty feet high covering the whole surface
But the indomitable Briggs planted more ex-
tensiyely elsewhere and he still leads in
fruit production and in successful realization.

ABOUT HAIR.


Not less than ninety per cent. of the won.
en- ana i've per cent. of the men Of this
country wear more or leso false hair. The
enormous consumption of the artificial ami
natural product suggests the fact, feae9l
but true, that nine women out of every

cars, charming or ugly to line, have on
wig or welt, bandeau or prepared .lia

Some people think that blondes never
grow gray headed The fact is, ore-third
of white shreds may be mingled with such
hair and few win notice IT, The same pro
portion of blonde-headed people turn gray
as those with any other colored hair
The proportion of people who dye their
hair is also surprising. Some twenty per
cent. are said to do this. OF course the
greater proportion OF these people are white

forcefui emphasis which punctuates areu-
ment and clinches as with the pounding of

shrewd writer calls the slamming of the door

thus violently closes the door is laboring UNI

DOING THE THEATRE IN STYLE.

Speaking of gayeties in New York, cor
respondent says: The theatre party remains
fashionable. 1t is made up of anywhere
from half dozen to two dozen couples, and
the strictly proper thing is to have one mar
ried woman along as chaperone. She may
be as young as the others, provided she has
husband; and he may accompany her or
not, according to the circumstances. Some
times the party take proscenium boxes but
that practice is falling into disfavor, because
whether they behave decorously or not, they
are bound to attract the gaze of the audi
sncs when 80 conspicuously placed. The
usage now is to buy row of seats in the
orchestra or first balcony. Even there they
are quite sufficiently distinguished, for the
girls wear huge bouquets high up on their
left breasts; and they giggie great deal,

The latest evidence of Southern enterprise
in cotton manufacturing is that the moor
porators of the Knoxville, Tenn, cotton
mills recently fixed the capital stock at $3.50,
600, of which $4,000 was subscribed by
leading citizens within half an hour. Action
of this character is doubtless stimulated by
