We gladly publish this correction
and can only say in explanation OF the
statement criticised, that it was made
upon the authority of tile author OF
the above letter. In conversation
with her and another lady, we asked
them whether or not Mr.. and Mrs.
Anderson came here by any authority
and they answered in the negative.
They doubtless misunderstood our
question. If it is fact that there is a
aBlind tiger and other bated nets OF

aware of the existence OF any such
places) it certainly is the fault OF tenn.

the editors of The REGISTER have
any desire to "promote temperance"
we are perfectly willing to let the nles

The Difference.

There is no one thing, perhaps, In
which tho difference between the we'll
bred man and the ill-bred man more ap-
pears than In the manner in which, the
place where, and the time when, they
smoke. The well.brsd man does not
smoke, nor does hs seem to smoke, to
show off, whereas the ill-brsd man very
often smokes in q self conscious manner
that seems to say: "L00k at me! see how
skillfully my lips hold this cigar; how
can shift il from one side to the other
without touching it with my fingers, and
how 1 can articulate with it in my
mouth; in short, look you what perfect
control l have over my Iabial muscles,
and. having seen, ADMIRED In short.
there are many lOw-bred young men
very many-that appear to smoke only
to display their imagined grace and
skill; when In fact, in smoking as they
do, where they do, and when they do,
they bat publish their valgarity. The
woll-bred man, on the contrary, the gen.
tleman. the man that smokes only for
the love Of 1t. puts about as much Of his
cigar in his mouth as Is necessary in
order to draw it, keeps it in his mouth
no longer than Is necessary, or never
fails to remove it whom he talks or pass
o. any one to whom he would be respect
full, especially a lady. Further our best
bred men never smoke in any street
at any hour when it is much frequsnted,
nor in any public place where smoking
is likely to be offensive to others.

VIII Blood Stains Wash Out.

To the present day the superstition IL
rife that blood stains cannot be washed
out. During the French revolution. &c
priests were massacred ia the Carmelite
chapel at Paris, and the stains (called) OF
their blood are pointed out TO-DAY. Sir
Walter Scott in his TALES as Grand
father" declares that the blood stains OF
David Rizzio, the Indian private secIs
tary of Mary, queen of Scots. who was
stabbed in Hollywood palace by certain
Protestant leaders Of her court. aided by
her husband Darnly. are still to be seen.
In Lancaster the natives show q stone
called the "BlOOdy stOns," which was so
marked to show heavens displsasure at
some of CrOmwell's soldiers atrocities
at GailOws Croft, In Macbeth" act FIVE
scene one, Shakespeare allades to the
idea; Yet there is spot" The truth
about blood not washing out can easily
be explained. In the first place, IL that
of murdered person, it Is not often at
tempted, in the next place, blood contains
oxide of iron, which sinks deep into the
fibre of wood and proves indelible to or
binary washing. Thus it is true that
stone of porous nature and wood not
of the hardest kind are susceptible to
the stain of blood produced by the oxids
of iron which the blood contains. But
the blood eff pig is as good as that Of
murdered man.

that we would sock you full of knOwl-

you would send home what you get
through with this Fall, and I'll wear
them through the Winter under my 9TH

Winters here than we used, or else I'm
failing in bodily health. Last Winter l
tried to 90 through without underclothes,
but Manitoba wave came down our way
and picked mo out of crowd with its
eyes shut.
In your late letter you alluded to get
ting injured In q little "haZing scufi1e

my son, but il went from the rural dis
tricts, and another young gosling from
the rural districts undertook to haze me,
/ would meet him when the sun goes
down, and I would swat him across the
back Of the neck with fencebOard, and
then l would meander across the pit Of
his stomach and put . blue fOrget-me-

Your father amt much on Grecian
mythology and how to get the square
root of barrel of pork, but he wouldn't
allsw any educational institution to haze
him with impunity. Perhaps you re-
member once when you tried your father
a little, just to kill time, and how long
1t took you to recover. Anybody thar
goes at 1t right can have a good deal Of
fun with your father, but those who have
sought to monkey with him, just to break
up the m0n0tOny of life, have most al
ways succeeded in finding what they

THE "FALLING STARS" OF 1888.

Some Interesting "Reminiscences of the
Great Meteoric Shower-Pioneer Toledo.
Mr.. R. Harrison. of Oswego, sends to
the Toledo Blade an interesting letter,
referring to an article published some
time ago descriptive of the great meteor
ic shower OF 1888. Mr.. Harrison is evil
IDENTITY an elderly gentleman, bat his
psnmanship Is better and stronger than
that OF many younger man. Speaking
Of the meteoric display, he says:
beautiful scene still left. was at Mon.
roe % miles north Of the place where
Toledo 10 now AID has bsen for nearly
in the morning. I noticed there were
before, but being quite young did not
pie talking about it. The general i'm
preston was that it was located at
Maumee. The people that were up from
IL o'clock till daylight said the falling
stars were thlcksst between l and 2
O'Clock. After we got news from other
places, we learned the msteOrle shower
was general. We receive news at the
present dav in fewer days than it took
weeks at that time. At Monroe there
WAS one weekly paper published at the
time of which write. and 1t would take
from one to three weeks to get the East
ern papers.
"Nany people at that time thought the
scene was one of the signs we read of in
the bible Of the worlds coming to an
end soon, but the world has not come to
an end with me yet; few days, weeks,
months or wears will close nv earthly
career. In the month of May, 1884, / was
at the place that is now Toledo. 1t was
small town called Port Lawrence.
There was one inn, az it was called at
that time, instead of "hOtep and few
small houses. The hotel stood at the
foot OF the rising ground from the bot
tomland, and the land from it to whore
the Union Depot stands. was very heavi-
ly timbsred. One mile below was
another town called Vistula. There was
q small store in log building, and four
or five small houses. had to 20 from
Pert Lawrence to Vistula to get me a
bottle of whisky, which I thought was
necessary az was on my way to Buffalo,
and waiting there for steamboat. One
mile below Vistula there was small
warehouse and dock built by man by
the name Of Stickney. He then said he
would have a large town there; but
whether your city extends down on the
low ground or not / have not learned.
These towns at that time were supposed
to be in the territory of Michigan.

Editor Bromley's Story.

Rochester Post Express: When Mes
NTH was elected to the senate from Ore
gOn, in the early part Of the war, he had
never been in Washington: never been
east Of the Rocky mountains In fact,
since he emigrated as a boy to the Pacif-
ic slope to seek his fortune. He had
never seen a railroad or a locomotive
until he struck the Panama road at the
isthmus, and, as he described himself,
was green as q SQUASH" Upon reach
ing Washington being to bashful to pre-
sent his credentials and be sworn in at
enee, he spent day or two looking down
upon that distinguished body. from y
seat in the gallery so as to get the hang
Of things little before he ventured on
the floor. His diffidence wore off after a
little, and his great fund Of anecdOte,
his fine vein of humOr, his frontier
frankness and originality of character
and manner, drew around him warm
friends of both parties Standing one
dav in a group of Senators who had been
questioning him concerning his adven-
ferrous life, Senator Wilson OF Massachu-
sets said:"I understand Senator that
you had never seen railroad until you
come east, and that everything
of that sort in the way of
modern improvements was entirely new
to you. Now, l am curious to know
what struck you as the most wonderful
thing that met your observation on
this side of the cOntinent?"
NssMith hesitated moment, then
said: "Well spent my first two or three
days in Washington up there in the gal
lsry, looking at the senate, and l think
what most filled me with wonder was
the thought that l, who went to Oregon
years ago a poor and uneducated boy
should be here member of the highest
legislative body in the country. That
was my greatest wonder"
"Well-but-I don't mean that exact
ly," said Wilson, who was chiefly curious
about what mechanical continuance or
invention had excited most surprise,
"but what after that most surprised
yOu?"
"Well" said Nesmith, dropping his
serious manner and putting ON quiz
zical expression. II think after the sem
satiOn of surprise at being here myself,
what excited most wonder was how the

A Good Joke.

Special to The Inter Ocean.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The argument
of the WiROna and st. Peter land case

General Cole oper cd his brief as fol-
lows: "The claimants counsel in this
ease is either grossly ignorant Of the
law or has broken his oath az an attor-
nsy, for he does not know that Lord Ba-
con did not write the second epistle to

When the Apostle Paul wrote to the peo-

Is clearly to be seen that the language
quoted is not in point. There is one
thing in his argument also to be regret
ted, and that is the charge of plagiarism
against the great Lord Chancellor of
England. Bacon has been charged with
being the author of the plays commonly
credited to Shakespeare, and also with
corruption in Office, but this new thrust
of literary piracy is extremely unjust
