Alice Oates

On Monday next Alice Oates and
troupe begin four nights engage
Ment, in which will be given four
different comic operas. There is an
erroneous idea entertained by many
who have never seen the little prima
donna that she is an old woman.
Alice Oates was born in Nashville,
Tennessee, November 7, 1852, and is,
therefore, 20 years old. She made
her first appearance on the stage at
Crosby's Opera House. Chicago, Ill,
fifteen years ago, and has since then
appeared every season before the
American people as an opera bouffe
prima donna. According to the Eu-
reka Sentinel she never sang, acted,
or appeared to such advantage as
she does now, possessing hand
some face and figure. and action that
puts to shame half the French bouffe
primas, and voice of great COM
pass. She comes here sup
ported by a meritorious company,
the same that supported her at the
California Theatre, San Francisco.
The music Of the operas to be pre-
sented is bright and sparkling, the
costumes rich and gorgeous, the
ladies young, saucy and handsome.

LATEST TELEGRAMS
FORTY-SEVENTH CONGRESS.
REGULAR SESSION.
SENATE.

Washington, 1S-DaYis reported
favorably from the judiciary com
mittee the bill to retire from the
United States Supreme Court JUS
tice Hunt.
Blair offered a resolution instruct
ing the committee on public lands
to inquire into the administration
of the land laws and the system of
their operations in the practical dis
position of lands and any abuses
and hardships in their administra-
ton and report facts and recon-
mendatiOns.
Brown argued that the CONNER
cial value given to gold or silver
was not their intrinsic value as
metal, but the value which govern
ment stamas upon them as a
medium of exchange. Che value
Of silver has been reduced, not be-
cause of FOYER production but because
Of its demoraliZation by the British
and German governments. He then
reviewed our legislation on the
silver question, showing its I'M
friendly character and, continuing,
while silver had not been able to
withstand it gold would not have
stood it any better if the assault had
been made upon that metal. AS TO
what shall be the ratio equivalent,
he thought the French standard
about true one, that rate was one
upon which France would be willing
to stand with the United States.
ContrOverting the assumption upon
which the secretary Of the treasury
had based his recommendations for
stopping silver coinage. that if this
was not done gold would flow from
the United States and silver would
take its place, and we would be re-
duced in the commercial world to
the level of minor and less civilized
nations, Brown argued to show we
had fixed the rates between the two
metals higher than it had been fixed
by otner commercial powers, ours
being Is to l. while most of the
commercial nations adopt 1512 to l,
and Germany IL to l, and that prac-
ticallY the very reverse of the flow
of gold from and of silver to the
UnitedStates would be result of this

the application Of the postmaster of
any city, one or more substitute let
ter carriers shall be appointed. Ad-

number Of people. On his arrival
several of the nearest neighbOrS

escaped from his fury by a very
narrow margin of time and speed;
the boy escaping from his father
continued running until he had
aroused some of the nearest neigh

To Prevent Diphtheria.

To prevent diphtheria and finally ex- terminate 1t every man, woman and child throughout our land and the world should be brought to obey the laws of life and health. Parents should regu- larly feed, properly clothe and duly re- strain all children before they come to the years of understanding and account ability. This alone would do much. A late prominent physician of Paris esti- mated that 5000 children had died in that city, during tie thirty years of his practice there, from short sleeves, short pants and other kindred imprudence in the dressing of children. And am fully convinced that so large portion are sacrificed, in towns at least, in this country, from the same cause-all for 8 wicked fashion. And from careful ob- servation, in this country and abroad, I am confident that at least as many more are carried off by improper food and irregularity in taking it, together with poisonous candies and other unwhole- some and indigestible trash that no child or other person should eat.-Dr. EaaUtrs E. Mnrson, ifa the Saiaitar5,t1n.

The Original Penny.

The old, old penny in England, as in other countries, was of silver, and its appearance throughout the earliest time of its history would rather astonish those who know nothing of numismatic Ore. From the Saxon times, in which it was the only piece of silver extant, till those of Edward l., it was stamped with 9 square cross. This enabled the coin to be readily broken into halves or quarters, which then served the purpose of half-pence CT farthings. But the lat ter coin WAS not much inferior to the value of the present English penny, in- asmuch as the unbroken piece was val ued at -thirtieth of mark or three pence sterling. At this time five of them seem to have made skilling, or shilling, so that the relations between what are now chief English silver and bronze coins have entirely altered in the course of six centuries. King Edward, who reformed the coinage, like every thing else, was the first to issue pennies without the indentnd cross and, to make up for the loss of the queer shaped half-pennies and farthings hith- erto in use, supplemented the silver coinage with circular pieces, bearing the same value and denomination. He fixed the standard of the penny, more over, by ordering that it should weigh thirty-two grains of well-grown wheat, or, which was more accurate test, that twenty pennies should weigh one ounce.

Pay as You Co.,

No habit is more pernicious than that of contracting debt. When once under the influence of creditors, the obliga- tion will weigh one down as a millstone, and it will require the greatest self-de- nial and perseverance to get rid of the burden. It is not uncommon for inex- perienced young people to live beyond their means
 In the hope of restoring fortune and credit, theft or forgery is committed. Such examples are daily chronicled as the cause of many suicides, and are shown in the numerous inmates of the State prison, whose careless habit o that disgraceful abode. Pay as you go. This is applicable to everystation in life, to the rich, the poor, the ignor- ant, the wise. A very striking illus tration of the latter is afforded in Lord Bacon.

At one time, so many and so pressing were the duns he received, that he yielded to temptation and was guilty of taking bribes ;heafterward con- fessed, and was removed from his lofty position of Lord High Chancellor, degrad- ! ed and humbled.
 Bad debts scatter misery end desola- tion; they transform palaces intohovels, and change rich garments into pitiable rags. The credit system tends to bank ruptcy and poverty. If you would have clear conscience and happy heart pay as you go.

Atheist Martyrs.

A ridiculous paragraph is going the rounds Of the press stating that Col. h. gersoll expects to be shot every time he goes OF the platform by some religious fanatic. Oh, Tshaw! Go bright on with your lectures, Colonel nobody is going to hurt you. Why, what harm have you done Christianity, that any Christian should want to shoot you? Go on with your lectures. You're thousand times safer than any Christian was when the Bible-haters had the floor in the first and second centuries. That was the time when the live lions got fat on re- Iigious lecturers, and they weren't atheist lecturers either. Don't be scared, Rob- ert. It isn't your crowd that has been in the habit of furnishing martyrs. What funny little book the lives and sufferings of all the men who have died for their devotion to atheism would make. It would be very brief. It would only read, "There sre TO atheist martyrs" Ah, no. When they had chance to be martyrs they hung on to life, and died natural deaths at the age of 90 or 97 or somewhere around there. And now, when martyrdom is altogether and entirely out of the fashion, it won't do for them to affect fear and willing ness for it. ''Honor bright" Colonel, it will not do. "-Baytin9ton Haa0k- El'e-

Vegetable Iramnss

One is tempted to say that the most human plants are the weeds. They are nature's makeshifts. Germs lie in the soil and resist the stimulating effat of the sun and the rain for years, and show no sign. Presently something whispers to them, Arise, your chance has come; the coast is clear, and they are up and doing in twinkiiag.
 Weeds are the tramps of the vegetable world. They go east, west, north and south; they walk, they fly, they swim, they steal ride; they travel by rail, by flood, by wind; they go under ground, across lots and by the highway.
 But weeds have this nature: They are not easily discouraged; they never lose heart entirely; they die game. If they cannot have the best, they will take up with the poorest; if they cannot lord it over corn hill, they will sit humbly at its foot and accept what comes. In all eases they make the most of their oppor- tunitiess

Carelessness of Lady Shoppers.

In a Dundas street dry-goods store three ladies were purchasing goods side by side. One of them hung her un- brella by the handle on the edge of the counter and went to another part of the establishment. One of those who still remained laid her purse on the counter, and while making her purchases 1t was accidentally showed into the folds of the upturned umbrella. When the clerk tore off his check and the lady reached for her pocket-book 1t was gone. She had just laid 1t upon the counter, and, of course, the lady who stood beside her must have taken it. Nothing could be clearer. In the excitement which fol- lowed the Aforementioned lady took pos session Of her umbrella and walked out of the store, totally ignorant of what was within it. A policeman was called, and, amid much indignation and grief on one l side and clustering on the other, the in- nocent woman was conducted up stairs | and searched. Of course the purse was not found and she was allowed to go. | Now for the sensational part of the story. The umh=aiiiia was taken over to q hotel, thrown into 8 buggy, taken home and laid away. A few days later the house was burned down, but the umbrella, among other things, was saved. A few weeks passed, and then one day 1t was hoisted and out fell the missing purse. The lady remembered the incident in the store, and on her next visit to the city brought back the money and had 1t restored to the owner. In the period which intervened the woman who had been wrongfully ac- cused had visited the store daily for the purpose of ascertaining whether any thing had turned up to prove her inno- cence. The story is vouched for on the best of authority. and it is literally true. London (Canada) Free Press.

RnStOn,S Italians.

Boston has an Italian colony about 1900 strong. There are few wealthy Italians there. but large majority of them possess the comforts, and many the luxuries, of life. In small houses, located on narrow streets and alleys, rich Brussels carpets and costly walnut furniture may be found. Paintings and engravings adorn the walls, and tasteful articles of biiouterie abound. Their moral character also is good. Their church is regularly attended by over 300 families, while the police declare them ts be the most orderly class of the city s population.

Ripe and Sweet.

It will not take many years to bring one to the period of life when men, at least the majority of writing and talking men, do nothing but praise. Men, like peaches and pears, grow sweet little while before they begin to decay. It is fact that most writers, except sour and unsuccessful ones, get tired of finding fault at about time when they are be- ginning to grow old. At 30 we are all trying to cut our names in big letters upon the walls of this tenement of life !; twenty years later we have carved it, or shut up our jack-kniyes. Then we are ready to help others and care less to hinder any, because nobody's elbows are in our WAY.

THE British custom of locking the doors of railway carriages has been de- fended on the ground that the safety of the passengers was thereby insured. This might be regarded as wise pre- caution in the far West of America, where the eccentric train robber is in the habit of offering to trade wild flight into the uncertain realms of eter- nity for refusal on the part of the pas senger to endow him with all the loose change he happens to have not left at home, bls1 s.. ,taid old England the GUS tom seems to be useless and reall' dangerous one Four railway com. panies in Scotland apd three in England have abandoned it.

MY LITTLE WIFE.

She isn't very pretty
 (So say my lady friends); She's neither wise nor witty With verbal odds and ends. No feeting freaks of fashion Across her fancy run; She's never in passion Except tender one. Her voice Is low and cooing; She listens more than speaks; While others talk of doing, The duty near she seeks. It may be but to burnish
 The sideboar6'E scanty plate, Or but with bread to furnish The beggar at the gate. So I, who zee what graces
 She sheds on lowly life, To fashions fairest faces
 Prefer my little wife. And though at her with pity The city danes may smile, Who deem her hardy pretty And sadly out of style, To me she seems 6 creature So unsteady sweet, I would not change one feature One curve from crown to feet And if I could be never
 Her lover and her mate, I think q be forever
