A Pleasant Evening.

The socIabie of the Christian church,
held at Mr. Kenyon's, Friday evening,
was everything that could possibly be
expected. A great many were present.
The beautiful lawn was well lighted,
aniseveral tables were arranged in va
rious parts of the same, where ice cream
and cake were served. at different
times music was furnished and the pro-
gram announced yesterday was fully
carried out with the exception of Miss
Stewards recitation. Miss Nellie Ed
wards recited an excellent piece, in her
usual pleasant manner. Prof. King
read two productions which were well
received. ALI remained till late hour
and all left feeling that it was good to
be there and that Mr. and Mrs. Kenyon
know how to make people enjoy them
selves. ONE Who Was THERE.

Uunder the Married Woman's Prop
erty act. which lately went into effect in
England, novel case was brought on
July % before the court of appeals for
the ChanGery division. The point to be
argued was, in brief, whether or not a
married woman having a house settled
upon her for her separate use can turn
her husband out and obtain from the
court an order forbidding him all access
to it. Justice Gritty had previously
granted the deslred injunction, and the
Master of the Rolls and his colleagues
saw sufficient reason for denying the
appeal, but they all declined to give any
opinion as to the main question and in
timated that it must evidently be taken
to the House of Lords for decision.
The Master of the Rolls asked whether
the court could be expected, on the hear
ing of an interlocutory application, to
decide a question switch might have
the effect of altering the whole social
life of England"

Exchange: In one of the Washing
ton botanical gardens there is a Holy
Ghost, or dove flower, in bloom The
stalk is about as 1hiek as lead pencil
and something over three feet high.
The flowers. which spring from short
side stems. are about three inches IN
diameter, and look like white wax In.
the bottom of the cup-shaped blossom
is most leyelY specimen of natures
art. 1t is the 6ove which occupies a
sitting posture, with wings extending
upward and exhibiting the first half of
the body. In front of the dove is an
altar slightly sprinkled with diminutive
dots of maroon coloring, and this is the
only color about the bloom. At the
base of the stalk are three shoots or
long leaves, like the shoots to new corn.
There are twenty five of the cups on
the stem and the fragrance is very deli
cate and sweet. The dove specimen is
kept in the green house where the air
plants are, which are nothing less than
blocks of wood, kept in temperature
so hot aud damp that they are forced TO
grow and bloom.

commerce. He is to be styled it adds,
kiag Stanley of Congo, and is to be in
vested with absolute authority to sign

functions of supreme sovereignty. This
clumsy title reveals the barrenness of
the invention; for If the intrepid ex-

fellowship.

The two Sfankato lodges Of Odd-Fcl.
lows united in celebrating the Sixty
Fourth anniversary OF the founding of
the order in America, at Union Hall last
evening, and very enjoyable time was
participated in by all present.
The occasion was one confined to
members of the order and their families.
and a few invited friends, and the pro-
gramme was arranged with special ref
erence to the commemoration of an
event dear to the heart of every true
Odd-Fellow. Mr.. J. Fowler delivered
brief address, reviewing the high mis-.
sion which Odd-Fellowship is perform
ing in ministering to the we'll being of
humanity throughout the land; giving
condensed history Of the order in this
city, Its progress and present flourishing
condition, concluding with very neat
and appropriate tribute to the memory
of two deceased and dearly beloved
brothers-Wm. Durkee and Benz. Dur
kee-who have passed to that Grand
Lodge above since the last anniversary
was eommemorated.
Mr.. Geo. III. Clark read humorous
selection, which showed the tricks in
politics SO commonly practiced. Mrs.
L. p. Hunt gave short recitation.
The musical portion OF the pro-
gramme--both vocal and instrumental
was excellent. Prof. Jache's orches
ira rendered several entertaining selec-
tions, while the Professor himself gave
violin solo and sang a German solo.
Miss Zimmerman and the Professor in
troduced piano duet which was very
pleasing.
Prot. Bettinger, whose reputation as
a pianist is well known, and whose equal
il hard to find in the Northwest, favored
the audience with choice selection.
Miss Zimmerman and Miss Fowler each
gave an instrumental selection. Miss
Grace Pitcher, one OF the very best lady
vocalists of which our proud city can
boast, sang II selection which was hearth
ly applauded and highly appreciated.
Miss NJ. E. Hutchinson also pleased the
audiences and sustained her we'll earned
reputation as vocalist, by singing a
very fine selection, and rendering it in
her usual agreeable style.
Messrs. Brett, Thomas, Gorrie and
McGraw sang quartette that was pleas
ing. If there is any one thing in music
more charming than another, it is male
quartette, where the voices harmonic,
and in this instance such was the case.
At the conclusion of theexercises
supper was announced, and after re-
freshing the inner man, dancing was
the programme for the remainder of the
evening. In justice to Mrs. Himmel-
man, who provided supper, we desire to
say that it was an elegant spread. The
tables were Hastily and attractively ar
ranged, and the center-piece of each
table was surmounted with q charming
bouquet of choice cut flowers from
Lorentz' greenhouse.
l DIR. McGraw was master of cere.
monies, and we'll did he perform his
part, and while credit is due the en-.

anniversary celebration, yet Messrs.

entitled to the thanks of the order un.

Paint Mandatory.

Messrs. Manderfeld & Payne who re.
Gently started a mandatory in this city
ofready.mlxed paints are, we are pleased
to note, meeting with excellent success.
These paints are composed of pure
white lead, oxide Of zinc, linseed oil
and the best of pigments finely ground
and carefully prepared under formula
that years of practical experience has
demonstrated is the best known. The
advantages their paint has over all Others
are rs follows: 1t does not shrink,
evaporate or lose its oil. 1t is ready for
use, spreads easily, has good body,
covers we'll and dries with hard
smooth beautiful finish, with the ap.
pearance OF having been vanished. 1t
will not crack, peel, Blister or Chalk
OF, but remains firm, fresh and brilliant.
1t does not contain any CLUES, alkalies,
chalk, soap, or chemicals and is the best
paint knOcn for general purposes.
One gallon of their paint will cover
with two coats 200 square feet OF sur.
face, if this be in proper condition. No
positive rule can be given in regard to
this. If the surface is very rough or
porous or dried up, much more paint
will be required than otherwise.
In using these paints, especially out
side it is advisable always to avoid cold,
damp or raw days. No paints will
work well in such weather; they will
then dry very slowly. and even when
apparently dry on the surface, may not
really be so underneath, and then will
be apt to wrinkle up, crack and peel
off. In such cases, even with the best
materials, the results will often be very
unsatisfactory.
In estimating upon house, 1t is usual
to include the space occupied by the
windows and doors, as this will about
balance the extra quantity required for
frames, mouldings, etc. Simply multi
ply the distance round the house in feet,
by the average height, and divide by
200, and the result will be the number
Of gallons required.
The gentlemen next year purpose
pushing their paints into the market
much more extensively than they have yet
done, and it is not too much to say that
they will have ready sale for every
| pound they can mspufaetprs.
