THE REAL MAN.
For thirty odd years, during which time
we have known Mr.. Combs quite intimately,
we have always found him an agreeable and
pleasant gentleman. His sunny nature has
never left him, and clings to him even now.
His early history west is full of romance,
and very few could pass through the many
trials he encountered when a mere boy,
without greatly marring even less perfect
disposition than that which is
owned by Mr.. Combs, and yet
he is as genial to-day as he was over quar-
ter of a century ago. A fine looking man,
straight, commanding, with a frank, free,
open 3ountenance, he wins his way among
his fellow men, and though not blessed with
a superabundance of this worlds goods, yet
he scatters pearls of sunshine wherever he
goes, and thus we leave him-''the noblest
Roman of them all.
BACKWARD, TURN BACKWARD.
Backward, turn backward, o time in your fight,
Make me child again just for tonight!
Mother, come back from the echoless shore,
! Take me again to your heart OF yore,
Kiss from my forehead the burrows of care,
Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair;
Over my slumbers your loving watch keep
| Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep.

Il Long TkiF Side.


There arrived in this city last evening at 5
O'Clock at the head of Soraparu street an old
and dilapidated skiff which had brought and
safely landed three persons who embarked
in at St Louis five weeks ago and who had
made the voyage of the river between these
cities during the time. The persons referred
to consisted Of man wife and child. The
husband, Timothy O'Callahan, who is about
thirty years old, together with his wife, Cath
arine, some ten years younger, being desir-
Gus of coming South, but not having suffi-
cient means for their journey determined
upon making the trip in a skiff, which Mr..
O'Callahan purchased in st. Louis for small
sum. They stopped at several towns and
cities en- route, and twice exhausted their
money to the last cent. On arriving at New
Orleans last evening Mrs. O'Callahan
was discovered to be so worn out by the trip,
and so Frustrated with malarial or swamp
fever. from exposure, that she was conveyed
to the Charity Hospital, while Mr.. o, Callahan
and their three year-old daughter we're kind
ly taken care of by German, Mrs. Stoten-
burger, residing near the Soraparu Market.

Saratoga Letter to the Washington Star. ]

Saratoga Letter 10 the washington star.
Mrs. Lucky Baldwin is the latest sensa-
ton at the hotel where she stays. She is
only 4 feet inches in height, but well
formed and rather pretty. She is nineteen
years old but looks like a girl of twelve. and
dresses like one. Her skirts are short and
her brown hair hangs down in two braids
tied at the end with ribbon. Lucky, her hus-
band is sixty one years of age and grand
father. The romantic story is told that the
present Mrs. Baldwin studied architecture in
san Francisco with her father, whose profes
sion it is. He was summoned to appear be-
fore building board in San Francisco to
give his views on ventilation, but beng too
i'll to do so, his bright young daughter pre-
pared the report aud read it before the board,
of which Mr. Baldwin was a member So
successfully did she present her plans that
the wealthy widower fell in love with the
young architect, courted her, and in due
course of time she accepted the heart and
hand of one of California's most success
full spectators. They were married about
two months ago. Mrs. Baldwin appeared at
the hotel hop Saturday night in pretty white
muslin, trimmed with embroidery and lace.
The baby waist was confined by sash of
pink ottoman ribbon, and her long braids of
hair tied up with pink ribbons. Bows of
pink ribbon were on each shoulder. Around
her head was a wreath of maiden hair fern
studded with tuberoses and pink buds. She
looked the embodiment of the ideal "child-
ish simplicity so seldom seen nowadays.
She wears scarcely any jewelry, and what
she wears is of the least snowy kind. There
are children here of ten and twelve years
old who look more matronly and dress more
more like mature women than does this lit
bride. She does not seem to have had her
head turned in the least by her thus far sue
cessful matrimonial ventur-, nor by the at
tentiou she attracted during this her first
trip to the east.

Strange Friendship.
Hittla Fall News I

A curious case of the affection of animals
for each other has recently been brought to
our notice. Newell & Fittle purchased from
the estate of the late W. NJ. Dorr horse,
along with which came dog that mad been
brought up with it and which refused to be
separated from Its companion. Ever since
the new firm has purchased the horse the dog
has remained with it. Should a stranger be
ordered to drive the horse it seems to make
no difference to the dog, who will follow the
wagon just as well if the regular driver, Mr..
Manning, were in charge. Sundays, the dog
remains in the stable all day, even the driver
being unable to get it to remain away but
few minutes at time. In winter time the
dog sleeys in the manger in front of the
horse, which will not disturb the hay on
which its cannie friend reposes until it has
finished its nap. They frequently play with
each other, the dog licking the face of the
horse and the latter rubbing the dog wi tn
its head in return. The most singular part
of the story is that the dog seems to prefer
the feed of the horse to anything else, and
will eat the ground corn and oats in prefer
ence to any other thing.

Mr.. Phillips acted as her escort, and
lost his heart to her before he got BACK.
How he called upon her often in this
city, but was not admitted, owing to
her feeble health, but finally he almost
broke his way to her and offered her his
hand. She said she would never marry
q man unless he would swear eternal en-
nifty to slavery; but it was not necessary
for Mr.. Phillips to take that oath he
had already sworn it in his heart. So

Secretary of State, asking to be in

views Of the department concerning
the definition to be given to the phrase
"at the last port or place whence ex-
ported to the United States" The joke
worked admirably. The estmable old
lady at the head Of the State Depart
ment found the problem too deep for
her, and transmitted Mr.. Hartes letter
to the Treasury Department. Sccre-
tary Folger wrestled with the question
and used about four sheets Of foolscap
in replying that "the last port" meant
the last port. Then an appraiser at
Philadelphia got mixed up in the joke,
and Assistant Secretary French wrote
him long letter explaining that ''the
form of expression, last port OF place,
was used SO as to distinguish the last
port or place of shipment from any
prior port or place from which it might
be shipped"
