Oscar Wilde's Lecture

Bridgeton, (N. J) Chronicle.
The notorious Oscar Wilde lectured in Bridge
ton on Thursday night of last week. His theme
was "The Decorative Art" but it was scarcely
worthy the name of lecture. The subject is a
COED one, but it needs to be brought before an in
telligent audience by some one who has better
knowledge of the English language than Oscar
Wilde. For graduate of Oxford, he is neither
a credit to himself nor to the college. No really
educated person would say "vawz" for vase,
"bean," for been, "koortesy" for courtesy, and so
on. The lecture, so called, was unrhetorical, in
elegant and grating to the ears of those who lis
tened thereto. It was plain to see that Oscar
Wilde is wholly untitled for the lecture platform,
and if the aesthetic school would prosper it had
better select some one else as its chief apostle.
But he is not fool nor that pulling sentimental
ist that he postures the platform or appears to
be in drawings. A very good authority says that
he is as shrewd youth-perhaps as wild an 0s-
car-as can be found in England. A few years
ago he went to London to make reputation, and
set about it in a business-like fashion. Finding
the ordinary methods slow and tedious he devised
q method of his own, created the aesthetic school,
and in less than year became one of the most
talked-of men in London. Now he is in America
amassing a fortune, and contemplating marriage
with a rich heiress If this is folly, there is
method in it.

The Dollar Mark,

Origin of IS" There are number
of theories for the origin of the sign of
the American dollar. One is that it is a
com animation of the sign of u. S., the ini-
tials for the United States; another, that
it is a modification of the figure the
dollar being formerly called "piece of
eight" and designated by the charac-
ter 8-8. The third theory is that it is a
combination of II. S., the mark of the
Roman unit, while fourth is that it is
a combin alton of P. and S, from the
Spanish peso duro, which signifies
'hard dollar" In Spanish accounts.
peso is contracted by writing the over
the and placing it after the sum. But
the best origin of the sign is offered by
the editor Of the London WhitehaU Re
vtew, who once propounded the ques-
ton at dinner party in that city, at
which the American Consul was pres
ent. AS no one could tell, the editor
gave the following explanation: at is
taken from the Spanish dollar, and the
sign is to be found. of course, in the as
sociations of the Spanish dollar. On the
reverse OF the coin is representation
of the pillars of Hercules, and round
each pillar is a scroll, with inscription
Plus Ultra This device in course of
time has degenerated into the sign
which stands at present for American
as well as Spanish dollars-S. The
scroll around the pillars represents the
two serpents sent by Juno to destroy
Hercules in his cradle"

How Indians Farm,

A gentleman just up from Standing
Rock agency said the Indians were en-
gagged in planting. In answer to al in
quiry as to how the reds were progress
ing in the peaceful ways of grangering,
lie smiled and said their manners were
odd. Every year they seem to know
less about how to farm. This is attrib-
utable to the fact that they are learning
the ways of the whites too rapidly. They
begin to understand that as soon as they
can grow crops their rations will be cut
off, and hence their growing ignorance
of agriculture. If they are given a
bushel of beans TO plant, they will eat
aine-tenths of the amount and plant one
tenth, and the one-tenth will be dumped
in three or four holes in the ground
Last spring they were furnished with
five bushels OF onion seeds. They could
not eat them, and consequently planted
the entire five bushels on piece of
ground fifty by one hundred feet. They
were too lazy to prepare larger patch;
besides it would have been contrary to
their policy of maintaining the ration
system. When the onions came up it
was q curious sight to see the young
stinkers crowd each other. The whole
dry, naked surface of the ground was
raised up on top OF the sprouting plants.
1t is our informant's opinion that the
present generation of Injuns will not
make successful grangers. -Bisnarck
Tribune.

The Trading Rat.

An animal whose instinct teaches tito
give quid PRO gao should be capable of
a business education. The last candi-
date we should select for such schooling
is the thievish rat; but now we learn
that there are rudiments of honesty and
fair-dealing in one species of evon that
animal
A curious statement is made about the
trading rat, which is one of the unique
and interesting animals met with in the
Rocky Mountains. The miners of the
region declare that although these rats
enter houses, camps and mines, and
take things that do not belong to them,
they never take an article without leav-
ing something in its place. They con-
duct trade, and hence their name.
They enter dwellings at night and steal
anything they can find. carrying away
spoons, knives and forks, but invariably
leaving g chip, stick or stone in place Of
each article taken away.
The miners look upon the uncanny
dealings of these precocious animals
with superstition almost amounting to
awe, and tell many wonderful stories of
THEN fnesse, and the length to which
they carry their depredations, but the
predominant quality with which they in
vest them is the faculty of trading or
exchanging alluded to.-EueainC M1n

Lost. in SaU Grass

Mr.. Munroe. q member of the New
York Canoe Club, met with q serious
adventure while canoeing in Florida:
He launched his canoe into Fisheating
Greek, and ran down the creek into
Lake Gkeechobee. As he passed the
saw grass at the margin of the lake it
closed behind him, and left no land
mark to indicate the spot where he had
entered.
Calculating as closely as possible the
mouth Of the Kissimmee, he attempted
to enter that stream. Nothing but miles
of saw grass appeared along the shore.
He spent four days and nights in his lit
tie canoe, completely lost.
He tried TO return to Fisheating Greek,
but this attempt proved as fruitless as
the search for the mouth of the Kissim-
NEE. Into every hole or opening show
ing the least signs Of an outlet from his
prison he poked the nose Of his canoe.
Finally, he put his boat as near the
shore as possible, and took to the saw
grass. He managed to get ashore, and
reaching settlers house fifteen miles
from Fort Bassinger, secured guide.
came back, recovered his canoe and
gaining the Kissimmee, set sail for Bas-
sinVe.

listening to some of his questions.

commenced, pointing to stack OF hay
on the marsh.
"Oh. that's hay, DEAR" answered the
careworn lady.

A Mothers Love,

A private letter brings us this singu-
lar story. A widowed lady in New York
gave her only daughter in marriage TO .
physician who lived in California The
mother and daughter were deeply at
tached to each other, and had been in
separaoie companions for years.
After the newly married couple had
gone, the mother, who was an invalid,
sank suddenly and rapidly. kilograms
were sent after them urging them to re-
turn, but as their exact course was not
known the messages failed to reach
them.
The mother grew worse. Her prayer
was that she might live to see her child
again if but for a moment On the after
noon before her death she was left alone
for few minutes, and when her attend
ant returned, she was found sitting up
in bed, her cheeks flushed, her face IL
lumined with delight.
Have YOU seen CharlotteY" she asked.
'She has just gone into the other room. !"
Charlotte has not come" they said.
"Oh yes," she replied smiling, II
have had her in my arms. l kissed her.
God has been SO good to me, to bring
her back in timer and SO talking she
sank into an exhausted slumber from
which she never awoke.
Now on this afternoon the daughter
was in Omaha, totally ignorant of her
mothers illness Her husband afterwards
wrote that on that afternoon, being in
their private parlor in a hotel, she sud-
denly sank into deep sleep which
lasted nearly an hour. From this she
awoke pale and sobbing, saying she had
dreamed she was with her mother, who
looked strangely i'll and exhausted. The
impression, however, soon passed away.
This coincidence, of course. can easily
be explained on natural grounds, and
vet one almost wishes that it could not
be explained. We would like to believe
against reason that the mothers love
would be strong enough to bring back
her child for that brief moment to ease
the pain of death.

vations, two empty spaces left by decay.
