INFLUENCE OF woMEN,s SOCIETY

It is better for you, says Thackefay to
pass an evening once or twice in lady's
drawing room even though the conversation
is slow, and you know the girls songs by
heart, than in club, tavern, or the pit Of a
theater All amusements of youth to which
virtuous woman are not admitted, rely on
1t, are deleterious to their nature. All men
who avoid female society have dull percep-
tons and are stupid, or have gross tastes
and revolt against what is pure. Your club
swaggerers, who are sucking the butts Of
billiard cues all night, call female society in
sipid. Poetry is insipid to yokel; beauty
has no charms for blind man music does
not please poor beast who does not know
one tune from another and ms true epi-
cure is hardly ever tired Of water-souchy and
brown bread and butter, protest l can sit
fora whole night listening to well reguat-
ed, kindly woman about her girl coming out,
or her boy at Eton, and liking the evenings
entertainment. One of the great benefits
n man may derive from women's society is,
that he is bound to be respectful to them.
The habit is of great good TO your moral
man, depend uponit. Our education makes
us the most eminently selfish men in the
world. We fight for ourselves, we yawn
for ourselves, we light our pipes, and shy
We won't go out We prefer ourselves and
our ease and the greatest good that comes
to man from o woman's society is that he
hes to think of somebody besides himself
somebody to whom he is bound to be con
startly attentive and respectful.

MISCELLANY
AN IRVING REHEARSAL
How the Great English Actor and Manager
Drills his Company.
The Century.

The stage of the Star Theater. People
gathered about the wings, some sitting,
some standing, all expectant. At the front
toward the footlights bunch light, table
and two or three chairs.
Enter Mr.. Irving with Miss Terry ON his
arm. He looks fresh, happy and quite
satisfied with himself. He seats Miss Terry
on one side of the stage near the boxes.
After greeting most of the people by name
and in kindly tone, through which, how.
over, pierees authority be sits ON q chair at
the prompt table, and the rehearsal Of
Louis XI." begins. Mr.. Loyeday, the stage
manager, and the most important man Irv.
ing has, sits beside him and says:
Now, then, gentlemen, Louis XI., act
first" and the rehearsal goes on in earnest.
When the moment comes for Louis XII. to
appear Mr.. Loveday Stimulates the part and
reads the lines, placing himself at the posi-
tons Irving would be in at the perform
4nce. Irving watches all this, occasionally
saying; =" think it would be better to do
it SO, or So" and he indicates the gesture OF
position he would like. But it is all done
suggestively and not in any tone of order.
lf Mr.. Irving has any remonstrance to make
or objection, he never humiliates the actor
by doing it before the others. He will say,
for instance {" 1 should like that scene
done again. Please wait, Mr.. -, until
the rehearsal is over, and we will go over ii
together" and then when all the others
have left he will make what observations l..
thinks necessary to the party in error. All
his conduct toward bis people, in this way,
is kindly and considerate.
While the rehearsal proceeds Mr.. Irving
does not leave his chair at the prompter's
table. he watches every movement. Occa-
ionally Miss Terry walks over and makes a
whispered suggestion to Mr.. Loveday and
Mr.. Irving. But the work goes on without
interruption, and the corrections are made
afterward, or at the next rehearsal Now
and then Mr.. Irving makes memorandum
of some idea that strikes him for his own
part. But he never rehearses in public him.

HEAD OR FEET FIRST.

There has been some discussion ns to
whether person lying in sleeping-car
should place his feet toward the locomotive
or the reverse. One man (writing teamed
zeal iournaD who travelled about $4,000
miles year with his back to the locomotive
became extremely i'll with nervous affec-
ton, and got well after he had given up the
habit. His doctor believes thatpersons who
travel much by roil should take all sorts
of positions" A German physician, DIR.
Gluten, says that if person lies with his
feet toward the engine the movement of the
car tends to draw the blood from the brain
to the feet, cerebral an@mia is. produced
and then sleep. But if he lies with his head
uearer the locomotive, rs is the custom in
Germany, there is produced cerebral n.y.
peremia, incompatible with sweet respose.
Dr. Mcbride of the Milwaukee Insane Asy-
tlm, advises exactly the reverse. He holds
that with the feet toward the engine the
blood tends to the head. In the starting of
a train momentum is first given to the car.
Bodies in the car resist for moment, and
then acquire the same momentum. But on
the least increase Of speed they offer resist
ance they are not disposed to go as fast as
the car. round marble placed on board
will roll back when the board is moved
rapidly, and he thinks il reasonable to sup
pose that in human body the blood con-
SANITY offers resistance to the motion of the
train. Therefore with the feet to the en-
CINE, the blood will seek the brain. For
this reason DIR. Mcbride urges sleeping with
the head toward the engine.

FISH ON AN OVERLAND JOURNEY.

In the Government improvements at the
mouth of the Willamette dam was built
across Pearcy's slough, which runs nearly
parallel with the Columbia, and is separated
from it by rolling, sandy piece of land.
During last Summers freshet lot of sturgeon
got over the dam and remained feasting ir
the mud below. The water falling, they
could not find their way out of the mouth
of tie slough, so they made the journey
overland across the strip of land TO deep
water in the Columbia River. just how
they navigated the land is not known, but
it is certain that they got across. Mr.. Rob
ert A. Habersham, assistant United States
Engineer, who went down last week to sup
erintend securing the work already done
against future freshets, noticed number oi
trails across the sand from the slough TO the
river, and examined them carefully for foot
prints, but none could be discovered He
then made inquiries of persons in the neigh
borhood, who had assured him crawling
surgeons had left the tracks. Following
up what appeared to be the freshest track,
he came upon the carcass of sturgeon half
way across the peninsula. There was no
track beyond the place where the fish lay,
but one leading directly to it from the
slough The conclusion is inevitable that the
surgeons used their fins and tails rs feet
and walked threeJegged to deep WATER

How He Won Ills Bride While lie Was n

About sixty years ago Conelia Clinch
was one Of the prettiest girls in New York.
She and her brother, who afterward became
Collector of the Port, were the children of
ship-chandler, who was pretty rich, as
wealth was reckoned in those days. He
lived in q big house on Duane street, then
one of the most fashionable parts of the
city Old Clinch was self-made man and
thought every other man ought TO be the
architect of his own fortune. SO he frowned
away every wealthy young flop who came to
WOO Cornelia and sent her regularly to
school to learn to be sensible, useful wo-
man. And his ideas were respected, for he
had a terrible temper when he was crossed
There is still standing, near Stuyvesant
Square, little old-fashioned church known
as st. Marks. In those days it was away
out Of the city in the green fields. Blu.
every Sunday old Clinch went up there with
his pretty daughter One day young Stewart
saw them. On his side il was clearly a case
of love al first sight. He began attending
church there regularly. Then he made
Cornelia's acquaintance, and, as he was
poor but industrious, the old man smiled
upon him and invited him to call and take
dinner with them. After while Stewart
asked Cornelia very interesting question
and she, like good girl, blushed and said
g Ye-e-s-if papa says so.' Then Stewart
interviewed old Clinch and he said 8 Want

a share of his earnings, ell 7"

who know them there tell me that they lived
an almost ideally happy life. They studied

An Idyl of the Kitchen.
In brown Holland apron she stood in the kitchen;
Her sleeves were rolled up, and her cheeks all

Fer hair was coiled neatly; when I, indiscreetly,
stood watching while Nancy was kneading the
dough.

Or who hum song so delightfully."- low,
Or who look so slender, so graceful, so tender,
As Nancy, sweet Nancy, while kneading the
dough?
How deity she pressed 1t, and squeezed it, ca

And twisted and turned it, now quick and now
slow,
Ah me, but that madness I'VE paid for In sad

At last, when she turned for her pan to the
dresser,
She saw me and blushed, and said shyly.

RAILROAD i" sPoTTERS.u


g Yes, sir; spoilers are the one great
trouble of our life," said Fourth and
Eighth street car conductor yesterday to
reporter. 60 They stop at nothing, and
when man once incurs their displeasure
he is fairly certain of either an almost in.
tolerable amount of petty annoyances OF
else q speedy discharge. In most cases the
latter is the result, but sometimes the spot
tiers select men whose dismissal they cannot
secure, aud then it is they bring all their
sneaking lies to bear upon his character.
Why, SIR" continued the speaker, There
was a man employed in the capacity of
spotter on one of our city roads whom
know TO have received money not to report
certain conductors, who really were the cul-
prits, while honest fellows were made to
suffer for their misdeeds. l cannot give
names but know it to be fact and can back
my assertion with my oath. Then, again,
I remember another spotter, who, because
q conductor accused him of being drunk,
caused that mans discharge and afterward
used his influence to Gust him from another
place on a rival line. Do the spoilers OF
various roads work in collision? That l
can't say, but it looks like it to me. Yes,
there are some honest ones, but they are
few and far between, for in the ten years OF

POETRY.
Only a Little Thing.

Only Little Thing.
II was only tiny seed,
Carelessly brushed aside;
But 1t grew in time to a noxious weed,
And spread Its poison wide
II was only q little Leak,
So small you might hardly see;
But the rising waters found the break,
Ard wrecked the great ievee
It was only single spark,
Dropped by passing train,
Butt dead leaves caught, and swift and tiaik
Was its work on wood and plain.
Il was only an unSound nail
That the workman used-ah me-
But the ship, that else had weathered the gala
Went down in the deep, dark sea.
1t was only a thoughtless word,
Scarce meant to be unkind;
But 1t pierced as a dart to the heart that heard
And left its sting behind
It may seem a trifle at most,
The thing that we do or say:
And yet 1t may be that at fearful cost
We may wish 1t undone some day.

pointed committee to probe the charges
to the bottom, and on Monday evening the
committee made partial report, saying
they had opened the necessary correspond

among which was one from Carl Schurz, in
which he says
Immediately upon the appearance of the
scandalous stories about Cleveland mem
beers of the New York Independent com
mittee took steps to satisfy themselves of
what truth there might be in them. The
Independent committee of Buffalo did the
same. We received information from va
riety of sources. | have read and heard the
reports received and have become conyinc-

The indianapolis committee say they
have received enough information to JUST
fly them in giving Cleveland vindication
and their support.
