States of North America" was book
seller In San Francisco when 1t was i'm
pressed upon him TINT the material for
California history was gradually being
lost if no one took steps'to save it. Ac-
cordingly he began collecting books,
manuscripts, pamphlets, family ar
chives and memories of pioneers, ex-
tending his researches until 1t embraced
the whole of North America from the
Rockies to the Pacific and from Alaska
to Panama. He visited different parts
of the country and lmade several jour-
neys to Europe, always adding to his
collection of material until he had
$4,000 volumes gathered at cost of
100000. These volumes he, with
twenty assistants, carefully indexed,
and six persons worked ten years at a
cost of over $SO,0UO, arranging this
material for convenient reference. An
other set of writers abstracted the de-
sired information from these references
and more competent persons revised
this rough material and passed 1t along
to Mr.. Bancroft, in as advanced a state
as possible. Then he re-wrote and re-
vised, often going over the whole, clear
back to the indexes to make it meet his
ideas of accuracy, clearness and per-
fection of style. All the while the
gathering of books, maps, letters, news
papers and manuscripts went on until
over $4,000 volumes had accumulated
besides countless records copied from
county, State, and national archives,
and twenty-five years had been spent on
the work of getting this huge mass of
material together, and a fire-proof
building was erected to insure Its pres
ervation. Introductory to the "His-
tory of the Pacific States of North
America" )" he has written 1.-THE Native
Races of the Pacific States" In five
volumes, which have already appeared.
The history proper embraces the fol-
lowing States: Central America,
Mexico, North Mexican States, New
Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada,
Utah, Northwest coast, Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho, Montana, British Colum-
bia and Alaska, the list to embrace thir-
ty-nine volumes, OF which twelve have
been given to the public. One volume
is to be finished every four months, and
it is expected to complete the work by
1890.
Mr.. Bancroft is native of Ohio, born
at Granville in 1882, and his only
school education was obtained in dis
trict schools.
Mrs. Emma II. Adams, Of Arizona,
who has lately, by invitation, visited
Mr.. and Mrs. Bancroft at Los Angeles,
gives at length the information above
condensed.

Hegai, in this case, native Of France,
looked the oriental "to the manor born"
more than any man upon the stage.
But any of them, from guard to high
priest, looked sufficiently fierce and
ftreign to be equal to the occasion.
The prophecies in white, contrasted
with dark-robed company Of Jewish
maidens, and her voice flexible and
plaintive accorded with the sentiment
of the strain. Mrs. Metcalf, as Esther,
put feeling as well as grace into her
part. Townsend was pompous and self
satisfied as became Haman and Mrs.
Thomas as Zeresh, was vastly more at
tractive than the popular conception of
that loyal wife to her wicked husband.
As whole the Cantata was rendered
with credit to the management, aud
the company, all of whom
freely contributed their time and
talents and gave much hard work and
pains-taking thought in the preparation.
Singers from the Congregational
church, young people in school who
had to keep up their studies as well as
learn their parts in the Cantata, busi-
ness men and married ladies who gave
their evenings, made generous sacrifice
to aid in this, the proceeds of which
above expenses, were donated toward
paying for the Concert Grand Piano,
purchased in the last year for the Meth
odist Sunday School. The gross re-
ceipts were 1925.

"Anyils and Hammers.

Many years ago Dr. Holland wrote an
article under the above heading in which
he said:
"Every man in the world who gives
blows must take blows"
"Those whom he assails, or the support.
ers of that which he assails, will turn up
his face, and undertake to straighten their
crooked nails upon it, or re-fasten the
rivets of their broken cisterns on it, or
pound the wrinkles out OF their battered
opinions upon it, or punish it with spiteful
indentations." "The perfection of art with
such man, is to strike heartily when
he assumes the office OF hammer, and
bear bravely when he is compelled to be
an anvil" "Until man becomes as good
an anvil as he is hammer, he fails to be
thoroughly fitted for his work.. These
reflections are equally as pertinent to
the contests between the factions and par
ties that strive for place and power in so
cial and political affairs, as in the advo.
cacy of moral reforms. The man who goes
into a political campaign and deals vigor.

sary, must count upon his ability to re.
ceiye and bear them. He must not count
upon his opponent sitting quietly, and

1t does not matter how just and righteous

ment they merit, and reformers who
have battled with the evils and vices Of
mankind, have had TO take as sturdy blows
as they gave, and they have finally con.
quered, chiefly because OF their superior
ability as a hammer, and their superior en-.
durance as an anvil. If we make our enc
mics vince when we assume the Office of a

injustice and hardship, or try to persuade
ourselves that we occupy the place OF the
injured innocent when, by change OF re.

compels us 10 serve as an anvil for his
hammer. "A pugilist who is an inferior

Run Over by the Cars.

Deaths by violence have occurred with
alarming frequency in Wellington in the
past year. Almost on the same ground
where Mr.. Porter Curtis was killed here
last July, NJ. A. G. Shepherd, butcher
of Grafton, in attempting to board freight
train No. 80 Thursday afternoon last, was
thrown TO the ground and both legs run
over and horribly mangled, one TO the hip,
the poor victim living but two hours.
He was acquainted with the Fireman in
the Touring mill and had been talking
with him when the through train passing
he ran out thinking he could jump aboard
Putting one hand on fiat car and foot
on the oil box he attempted to spring upon
the car, but having nothing TO hold by he
was sucked under, and the sickening
spectacle Of another man recklessly losing
his life emphasized the warning repeated
here against SO dangerous an experiment.
Crowds of men were soon there, the train
stopped, the injured man was laid on an
improvised stretcher and borne to the
station where DR.. Willard attended him.
The mans wife had died year ago,
and he expressed desire TO see his two
little children and his father. The latter
came here on the six o'clock train, but too
late to see his son alive, A brother from
LAGRANGE came earlier on a hand.car
The remains were taken to Grafton on the
s 80 train.

The Cantata Of Esther.

The concert which had been some
time In preparation, but for one thing
and another deferred, came Off Wednes-
day evening last. The interest in and
anticipation OF hearing so many of our
Wellington singers, was evidenced In
the ready sale of tickets and the packed
house. When at eight O'Clock the cur
tain rose, something more than the
brilliancy OF so large a chorus chanting
in melodious rythm, dazzled the senses,
as one and another and another fami-
liar face was made out from that motley
crowd of orientals disguised In strange
array; making up by tinsel and gilt for
any shortcomings in length Of gar
ment, and with bright sandals aud
hosiery, and gay scarfs of color rellev-
Ing the delicate hues of many an airy
robe. Fair heads and dark, shorn
locks and flowing tresses were sur
mounted by crown, turban or toque.
There was throne with such splendor
as an improvised stage conld command, /,
the king and queen wearing the pur-
pie Of their rank, royal guard, cour-
tiers, maids Of honor, plumed pages
mantled with ermine, bearing goblets

fairy sprites danoing attendance upon
the queen with such gentle footsteps as
always to be seen but never heard.
