she possessed a mysterious force equal
to the muscular power Of several
weighty and sinewy men, gave an ex-
lbition at Wallack's theatre, N. Y, on
Monday evening, which entertained q
large audience and mystified the ex-
perts in tricks amazingly. There was
evidently no humbug about the per-
formance. Whatever seemed to be
done was done as witnessed by men
and women wide awake. An umbrella

paraphernalia. These simple articles
and . timid young girl, apparently just
IKE any otheryoug girl, and a number
OF professional athletes, and heavy
weights, who put their bulk, and
Drawn against her. There was no mes
merism about the exhibition, nor was
any occult power invoked or claimed.
The solid citizens of the stage could do
nothing with the umbrella, cane or cue
when Miss Hurst touched them with
her hand, nor could as many of them
as could pile on or grasp the chair hold
1t down when the girl put the palms
OF both hands against its sides. They
came OIL the stage perspiring and blow
ing and tired, while the slender girl
stood laughing at them, showing no
signs of exertion and cool as the tradi-
tional cucumber, Nearly all wondered
what it was and how it was done, but
one athlete said it was simply muscular
power and gave Miss Hurst the credit
OF being the strongest woman he had
ever met. Others called it "odic force, ~
and mystified themselves the more.
1t was agreed to by all that the girl
used no apparent muscular eXertiOn to
tire the strong men out.

Hints to Young Writers.

The Sacramento Bee has tho following
suggestions
Carefully avoid "plain round hand
style Of penmnnship. Nothing will so
effectnaliy conceal bad 5lunders AZ illeg-
tble manuscript.
DO not expect moro than e25 column
for first efforts, particularly as the
chances are that the only extra copies
that your article will sell viii be the
ones you buy yourself.
II nm idea ia too common TO attract at
tention In prose, try putting 1t in poetry.
There 10 not particle OF sense In Moth
er Gcoses melodies, yet millions,
OF copies are sold every year.
II your contribution Is refused stop
taking tho paper. and never lose chance
OF abusing it. This will mako the editor
go out and hang himself. unless his
grocer refuses TO lend him clothes line.
Before sending an article to month
Iy magazine kiss ii an affectionate
goodbye. The chances are that 1t will
be FIVE or six months before you see it
again. II is different with daily pa
per. II you don't SEQ it In print or in
manuscript very soon you will have the
satisfaction Of knowing that you never
will.
Above NIL things remember that the
only way 10 get thing printed la to see
the editor personally Editors don't 20
by the matter III manuscript. They
go by the looks of tile writer Besides
that the time hangs very heavy on the
hands Of newspaper offices, and it ia
difficult TO see whit would become of
them il would he contributors did not
call once In while to talk about
their articles or play game Of checkers.
BE careful, however, in ascending to tho
editorial rooms to skip the double ac-
ton spring step which is always some :
where along tho stairs, and turns over,
landing victims in the cellar. This il
not ment for contributors. but for ped
oilers. and noting So worries m editor as

The following remarks evolved from
the brain Of some ohservant editor will
not be embarrassing to the reading pub

wanted to say. and expresses himself
clearly;
1T is an nnwritten law. we'll under

Of a manuscript. He Is not called upon

rejection is an absolute and unauestion-
able fact. Among amateur writers this

of casualties caused by the careless
handling of gunpowder. With these
drawbacks the Fourth Of July is q
glorious day, and is spent in manner
that conduces to the public health and
the public welfare. The day teaches its
own lesson, so that there is no great
necessity for formal obServances, although
the custom which still obtains in some
places of assembling on the village
green OF in the town hall and
listening to the reading Of the declaration
of independence ought to be perpotuated.
Congress did not set the country the
example of desstinH from work, the
majority regarding the business in hand
as of more importance than tho honor
ing of national anniversary. The
scnote, however, made some amends for
its want of respect for Freedoms natal
day " by having the declaration of inde,
pcndence read. Tho house availed itself
IF its rules to prevent the paying Of even
this little tribute to patriotic memories
Just now the Chicago convention eclipses
all historic events in the estimation oil
the majority In the house, and all mere
sentimental consid erations must give way
to tho necessity of finishing up the mp
preparation bills and forcing an ADJOURN
ment before the meeting OF that body.
The democrats In tho house are more
concerned about the outcome of July &,
| 1884 than about July A, 1776.

Mr.. Bayard would undoubtedly mako

The solicitude about Con. Logan's
grammar seems to be increasing among
the democratic newspapers. Thirty years
ago, when John Logan was democratic
politician in Egyptian Illinois. no demo
cratic complaints arose concerning his
grammar, and it Is certain that he now
possesses forty times the knowledge Of
grammar that he did then. 1t was when
John Alexander found himself in the

mar was first perceived by the cultured

The National Holiday.

Independence day was celebrated
throughout the country simply as a
holiday. Mr.. Henry A. Bowen, proprie-
tor of the New York Independent, had his
usual symposium at his country home,
at Woodstock, Conn, but with this ex-
ception no speeches We're delivered in
any part of the country OF sufficient inn
portance TO bo reported by telegraph.
The Fourth of July orator has greatly
dSclined in the popular appreciation.
There was I, time whom he held listening
thousap TentranGed by his fervid elo-
uuence, but in these days his voice is
seldom heard except at country picnics.
The last ora tion of this character that
attracted any attention was made by Mr.
Blaine, at Woodstock, some five or six
years ago. In this speech Mr.. Blaine
projected the peaceable annexation of
Canada as au event greatly to be desired.
Instead of listening to patriotic speeches.
the most of those who dwell in towns
and cities betake themselves to the
country and spend the day in such amuse.
ments as best suit their tastes. 1t is a
famous day for excursions, Probably
more people are Transported by rail and
teamer than on amy other day in the
year Unhappily tho enjoyment of tho
holiday is marred by occasional outbreaks
of rufiianism, the reault Of immoderate
Indulgence in Intoxicating liquors, and
re rGalwsys considerable number
