In cue of the theaters the other evening a
young man and woman, both well dressed and
evidently of good social position, came in
together and took seats In the center of the
orchestra. After the first act the young man
excused himself and went out dispiacing, as he
did SO, all the people who had seats between
him and the aisle, and as the curtain went MP
he returned, his neighbors again rising, and
becoming conscious, as he passed them, of an
agreeable favor of cloves and the copper-dis-
titled nectar of Kentucky
AT the end of the second act the operation
were repeated. and the mixture of spicy and
alcoholic odors was augmented. and again at

has gwen us very readable book, full of sol

Effect of Merriment.

The man who is able "to set the table
on a roar" will make even his enemies
like him, for there is nothing that so
soon burns up personal hostility as a
flash of merriment. Ex-senator Gwin,
of California, tells the following anec-
iote of VIM. H. Seward, which illus
tartes his %lubricating power at the din
ner-table.
When Seward came into the senate,
[ also entered there. It was about the
year 1850. He was reelected, and so
was I. He was very much disliked in
the senate, when I found him there, as
an Abolitionist.
Seward said to me one day, "Mr.
Gwin, I want you to invite me to din
ner at your house with most of your
leading southern senator's"
said, Steward, I'm afraid they WON'T
come"
ooh yes," said he, "they will if you
invite them. When we get at your ia
ble, I will manage them. He vas a won
derfully cheerful little fellow, and it was
of that class of invitations that I could
hardly shake off
L went to Butler, OF South Carolina,
md said, "I want you to come to my
house to dinner, and Seward is going to
be there too"
They came, and it is wonderful to see
how that little fellow managed that Ia
bic. Inever saw his equal at dinner
table.
He could tell tales that would make
everybody howl with laughter, and a
good many of them we're about himself.
He would reflect on himself. In point
of fact, Seward was a wonderful man,
both as a table companion and o stu
dent.

Platform, Women,

Elemental and moral condition which
the modern platform woman herself ex-
hibits is the surest proof of mischief
which public speaking is working by her
agency on the community at %large-the
gradual hardening Of the countenance
and of the external manner and address,
indicating too surely the ealrepression
going on within of much that is lovable
and admirable in a oman Norepose,
outwardly OF mentally, is to be found in
her society, she produces a strong i'm
preston of unnaturalness, and of living
in antagonism with the world around
her; an unfortunate frame Of mind
which has to be frostered, since her
position is not yet, thank Heaven,
by any can an assured one. and
must be struggled for and pursued I'M
der protest from a large section OF both
sexes. Who does not know the shud-
der with which a sensitive, highly
wrought, fastidious man OF woman
speaks of those whose persons are con-
tinually before the world, whose names
are banded about, whose principles are
discussed in half the drawing-rooms of
London? "That dreadful woman" is
the mildest term applied to them. Even
the Undetermined part of the cum
munity receives shocks from it's public
speaking-sisters occasionally with a
slIrug of the shoulders, and makes Jokes
at their expense. And the meaning of
it all is that the ONE who take up o
personally prominent position in the
world are distasteful to the good sense
and refined feeling of the major
ity, and, therefore, that female
influence in the world is de-
generating. Their power may be in

Lively Court Scene in California.

The court room, at San Francisco during tho
trial of the Sharon divorce case on Wednesday.
the 9Th, was a scene of great commotion. Mrs
Shawan, witness for the defense, was OH the

was subjccting her to a severe cross-examina-
ton. He said he proposed to show that the
witness had dined in d~isreputable places and
visited an designation house with strange men
Mrs. Shawan manifested intense excitement
and hnrriedly put her hand in her pocket as if
to draw u revolver, but was checked by coun-
sci fec the defense, who implorcd her to
keep cool. During the excitement which pre-
vailed MeCune Shawan, Il man about twenty

New Anecdotes of washington.

The biographer of q well-known
Pennsylvania, recently published,
gives n or two anecdotes of Wash
ington which have never been in print
before. They throw a new light on
his character, and show him to have
been more human, if less perfect, than
the model man portrayed by Weems.
His friend and neighbor painted the
Father of his Country as SO absolutely
faultless as to be tedious. The volume
which we quote gives him the credit Of
being once, at least, in a just rage.
A respectable mechanic of Philadel-
phia who reached a venerable age, told
the author that he was employed to
make some alterations in President
Washington's house. One day a pretty
servant-girl, passing down the stairs,
gave q scream of terror. One of the
officers coming out of the drawing
room had attempted to kiss her.
The President was in his own room;
he van out in his shir~t-sleeves, half
shaved He wa extremely angry, and
gave The man a kick which hurried him
down the stairs, calling out, Clear, turn
dRt fellow out! I'll have no man in
my house who insults a woman!"
There are preserved in Philadelphia
several private accounts of the last time
Washington appeared in public in that
city, which show the devouted loyalty of
affection with which he was regarded by
the people. It was on the occasion Of
Adams Inauguration, which took place
in the old State House.
After the ceremony wa over the new
president, followed by Vice-President
Jefferson, went out in state to present
himself to the people who we're massed
outside. They were received with ap-
plause.
But when Washington in his citizens
dress appeared behind them a dead ST.
lence fello the vast crowd. They knew
he vas leaving them forever. He
passed down the street, and they fol-
lowed him as n man, leaving Adams
and Jefferson unnoticed.
Down Chestnut Street to Fourth the
great mass followed as silent as if at a
funeral. When he came to the Indian
Queen hotel he went up o. the step and
turned in the doorway to look at them.
"Then there burst FORTH" says the
chronicler, "a great inarticulate sob, a
cry that rent the air. The tears rolled
down his cheeks. He raised his hand
slowly, with a gesture of farewell and
benediction. The door closed on him
and they saw him no more"
The crowd dispersed in absolute ST.
lence, and the town was plunged in
gloom as though every man mourned
for one dead.--Youth's Companion.
