Rev. H. d. Clark spoke for twenty min
utes on the temperance cause, followed by
a song by the Baptist church choir. After
this Miss Lizzie Heald gave recitation
entitled The Law I'll Make, which pro-
voked hearty applause. A song by the
lady quartette followed, which was sue
ceeded by an organ solo from Prof. G.
Stolpe. After this both Miss Ella Munson
and Mr.. Samuels sang solos very accepta-
bly,. A recitation. The Black Horse and
Rider by Mrs. Heald, was excellent as
was also the solo Sword of Bunker Hill, =
by MIR. Mcpherson. After these came

boy two years old who came within one of
furnishing larger item than his father
did Owing to the intensely painful ma
ture of his wounding Mr.. Christopher
sent to the Fourth avenue drug
store for some morphine pills,
ten in number and an eighth of a
grain each. He took four of these and at
an early hour this morning his infant son
swallowed the remaining six-three quar-
tiers of grain of morphine all told. Mus
tard water was at once given the little
fellow in copious quantities and DR.. s. G.
Plummer sent for. Upon his arrival the
doctor administered powerful emetic
which bad the desired effect but it be-
came necessary to trot the little chap quite
vigorously for two or three hours in order
to prevent him from dropping into a final
slumber Before noon he was reported
entirely out of danger, to the great iov of
his parents who at one time feared that
their pet was doomed

MINERS CONSULTATIONS.

This evening Miners noted company of
comedy specialists will appear at Harper
Theatre, and judging from the general
tenor of notices in our exchanges, the
company is worthy of good house.
From the Boston Herald of Jan 2, last:
Harry Miners Comedy -Four Combina-
ton delighted a large audience, at the
Howard, last evening, with variety
programme as interesting as it was long
Among the company are many perform
ers familiar to Boston playgoers in seasons
past, and who last night were welcomed
back with q heartiness which demonstrated
that their old time popularity had not di-
minished. The Delanos, Jeppe and Fanny,
appeared in Filtration Sketch, which,
while not new, tickled the fancy of their
auditors, aid won them much applause
Master Dunn, billed as the 'LilliEntian
Wonder, is as interesting as of yore, and
he added several new and clever acts TO
his repertoire. The Cliftons, Belle and
Louise, appeared in a rifle song and
dance" which proved a pleasing novelty
Billy Garter thumped the banjo with his
usual vim, and sung several new and
witty songs, original with him. Vatican,
the Egyptian juggler, has been seen here
on several occasions, but his last nights
performance lacked none of the entertain
ing elements of its predecessors. The same
may be said of the acts of Charles Dia-
mond, the harpist and vocalist who has
improved in his vocalization, and added
to his list of songs. The bill concludes
with a laughable Irish sketch, entitled
''Murphys Wedding" which is given by
the entire company.

Is IT THE HEENEP1N cANALq

The Union of this morning says that
Capt. T. J. Robinson and Mai. J. M.
Beardsley are in Washington in the interest
of the Hennepin canal" Here's richness
for you" Inasmuch as Major Benyuard's
report of the survey, recommendations,
ETC., has not yet been forwarded to Wash
ington and perhaps will not be during the
present session % congress and inasmuch
as it is not yet positively known which
route will be recommended, the statement
that the gentlemen named have gone to
Washington on canal matters is apparently
too gauzy to be generally credited.
1t has been suggested, however that
they are at the National Capital in the in
terest of something against which cur citi-
zens have heretofore set their faces reso
lutely, nothing more nor less than the con-
version of the government bridge. over the
Mississippi into a toll bridge. During the
closing hours of Congressional session it
is known thaca great deal of business is
hurriedly. therefore improperly transacted,
but it is not at all likely that measure of
this nature can possibly pass.

GAME PARADISE.

The late annual reunion of the Old Set
tiers seems to have set them all talking.
Informally, over old times. One of the
anecdotes thus narrated reached the ARGUS
this morning and is told to our readers
simply 10 dissipate the impression which
obtains in some quarters, to the effect that
the pioneer men and women were often on
the verge of starvation It is true that
sometimes there were scanty supplies of
farinacious food, but the great abundance
of game of all kinds more than made UP
for any deficiency in the shortage of
grain.
1t is well known that Mr. AdoIph Dun
lap was one of the crack shots of this
Utopia in early times and that whenever
he wanted deer or a turkey
he knew just where to go after it. His
Uncle Henry, on the contrary, was not
much of Nimrod. One day he sent over
for his nephew Adolph saying that they
were out of meat and he wanted him to
help kill the heifer. Never mind the
heifer, said Mr.. Dunlap, I'm look out for
the meat" He then shouldered his rifle,
went out int the brush aRd IN few hours

A GHOST STORY.

Here's ghost story tor you. The direc-
tons for the superstitious are: Take one
perusal directly before retiring, which with
the after meditation will have the desired
effect. As our citizens well remember a
few months ago Mr.. Vim. Junge while at
work upon circular saw at the Wagon
Company's shops, met his death in shock
ing manner. Since that time one watch
man at the Wagon Gompany's shop has quit
work and the man employed in his place
is about to quit, and all on account of the
terrible sight witnessed by them" in the
wood shop where Mr.. Junge used to work.
