As the weeks went on / grew more
and more convinced that | hated and
always should hate Mr. Tudor-that
he thought me young, ignorant, stupid,
fiippant, spoilt and conceited; that he
despised my intellect, rememembered
my foolish speeches and always would
remember them. His eyes had way
of twinkling when he looked at me and
looked away again; all the perplexine'
questions seemed to fall to me, and his
lips twitched when | spoke of gavel-
kind as q custom duty, and found
Wolsey guilty under the Statute oil
Purveyanee. He seemed to enjoy my
blunders; the worst mistakes of
Claudia, Nell and Lottie never pro-
voked in him even a temptation to
smile.
But the bad half-hour in my week
was on Saturday afternoons when
went alone to him, and sat by his side
whilst he spread out that weeks his
tory paper of mine before him and
commenced on its faults and required
an explanation of its antiquities, and
waited patiently with most courteous
attention for my answers. Now and
then, glancing up at him quickly, /
caught CLEAN of laughter deep down
in his eyes, Yet when he spoke his
voice was slow and grave and weighty.

The Oldest Newspaper.

The oldest newspaper in the world
is not a Sunday paper in Troy, as has
been boastingly asserted, for there is
one published at Pekin, China, named
the King Pau, or Capital Sheet, which
first appeared A. ID. Oil, but came
out only at Irregular intervals. Since
the year 1851, however, it has been
published weekly ana OF uniform size.
Now it appears in three editions daily.
The first issued early IN the morning
and printed on yellow paper, is called
Hsing Pau (busiress sheet), and con-
tairs trade prices and all manner Of
commercial intelligence. The second
edition, which comes out during the
forenoon, also printed on yellow pa
per, is devoted to official announce
ments and general news. The third
edition appears late in the afternoon,
is printed on red paper, and bears the
name OF Titnni-Pau Country sheet)
1t consists OIL ca racts from the earlier
editions, and is largely subscribed for
in the provinces. The number ofcop-
les printed daily varies between 13, 600
and $4,000.

The Friendly Oyster.

The oyster is again IN our mldst.
The oyster is very good thing to
have in ones midst. 1t creates q
feeling of comfort and content, and
answers completely the old question
as to whether or not life is worth liv-
ing. There may be better aquatic
things than the oyster, but their
names are not known. The gentle
bivalve is the very essence OF good
ness.
The oyster is mankind's friend.
1t is rs modest as it is useful. In it's
youthful days it aflixes itself to an
object and stays there until compelled
to leave. II does not visit or CAD
about or 60 on excursions. 1t sticks
closer to its perch than politician
TO sinecure. AL. it does is to be there
and get fat. AS the tides pass by 1t
opens it's mouth and takes in what
ever of nutriment the currents bring
it, 1t is the picture of oti,lm cum
dignitate. For months and months
it stores away the succulence OF the
salted seas. Then, some frosty morn
ing, it jumps into a dredge and leaves
it's watery home. 1t comes to the
city, takes up its residence in the raw
box, and when the sable gentleman
with q knife threatens to cut its
throat comes out of its shell, crawls
upon the prongs of a fork, and, after
passing through q yawning cavern,
takes last long dive into some hu-
man depth from which no traveller re-
turns. Its little life is gone, but the
man who takes it utters q benediction
and calls for another half dozen.-

"Mrs. Cleveland is not seeing so many
visitors as formerly and these only by
appointment" writes the Boston Her
aid Washington correspondent. "She
rides out every day. A young lady
who has been In the habit of calling
upon her tells me that there is begin
ming to be- little air ofInystery about
the domestic life OF the White House,
and that even the ladies of the cabin
ct wear a far-a-way look and speak in
an indefinite way when asked about
her, which may perhaps, be a gentle
way OF limiting that too many ques-
tions should not be asked, and the
life of the family in the White
House is entitled to the same
protection from impertlnent inquiry
that belongs to any other family. At
the same time, ths kindness OF the
public interest in the welfare of his
household can hardly be source OF
real annoyance to the president. II
Mrs. Cleveland does not appear in
public for a time, it need not be as
sumed that she remains at home mere
ly to avoid meeting jeff Davis s daugh-
ter at Richmond, or because she does
not approve ofthe erection OF the stat,
ue of Liberty in New York harbor."

A Large Attendance OF Ladies' Present-A

The Rink meeting at 3 o'clock was for
women, and as the room was packed some
time before the service, and more ladies
were trying to get in, Mr.. Moody request
ed the men present to retire. Quite a
number did so, but their places were filled
BY ladies from the crowd outside almost
before they could pass the door. After all
the available space had been taken up he
desired that the doors should
be locked although the preliminary
service had not been completed. There
were 8, 900 people in the building 1T the
lowest estimate Owing to the severity of
the weather but few of the windows were
open, and in consequent the air toward
the latter part of the services became very
foul and oppressive, and several Of the

THERE was touch of winter in the air
last night.
HLADY AUDLEY's Secret" tonight al
the Opera House.
THE German Pioneer Society win hold
very important meeting at Arion Hall,
this evening.
The City Hall clock stopped short and
didn't go again yesterday morning at fiji,
teen minutes to ten. The cold weather
probably froze up the oil in the works.
THERE were two great religious meet
ings in Lafayette Hall, Martins Ferry,
yesterday, conducted by Rev. Patterson.
From one thousand to twelve hundred
people were in attendance.
A DRUKES negro attempted to cross the
river from the Top Mill to Martins Ferry
last evening about Z o'clock. By some
means he upset the skiff and landed in the
water, from which he was fished by some
one who heard his cries for help.
A VALVE in the West Virginia Natural
Gas Company's line, in alley two, blew
out yesterday, and the man who went
down in the man-hole to fix it was over
come. A companion went after him and
was also effected by the gas, but both were
rescued and restored without trouble.
THE Pittsburgh Fire Commissioners are
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of using nat,
ural gas for fire engines. 1t is proposed tc
have gas attachment at each fire plug, tc
which the tube leading under the boiler
of the engine could be attached at the
same time the hose is screwed on. 1t i:
further argued that the ire plug gas jets
could be turned on in cold weather, thus
keeping the plugs from freezing up.

Searching for Natural Gas

The people of st. Louis seem determined
to find natural gas if it exists beneath
that city or in the country tributary to it.
The services of Prof. l. C. White were Sc
cured some time ago, and in conjunction
with Prof. w. B. Potter, of St. Louis, a
thorough survey of the country contingu-
Gus to st. Louis, on both sides of the Mis-,
siSsippi river, was made. All of the
points at which there have been any sur
face indications of natural gas were thor
Oughly examined in connection with the
geological surroundings. Prof. White
recommended the sinking of two test holes
to the depth of /, 500 or 1000 feet, or to
the Trenton limestone, the horizon frcm
which the supplies are drawn at Findlay,
Lima and other points in Northern Ohio.
The committee have also leased about A.
600 acres of land in Madison county, ILL.,,
and arrangements are now being perfected
to put down test wells. A stock com.
pany has been organized.

The New Court House.

All day yesterday and last night until
, o'clock this morning, large force OF
plumbers under Contractor Oscar Seeley
were hard at work on the new court house,
endeavoring to complete the job so that
steam could be turned on and the interior
warmed up. When the men quit work
this morning the first, second, and third
floors were practically completed, all the
radiators being in place, chandeliers up,
etc, and the bas ement only remains to be
attended to. The contract has been a
large one, but the work has been well
done, and will doubtless afford complete
satisfaction to the Building Committee OF
the Board of Commissioners.

THE ACT OF 4 CUR.
A Register" Route Boy Attacked and
Kicked on Saturday Morning.

A Register" Route Boy Attacked and
Kicked on Saturday Morning.
4 cowardly attack was made on one OF
the REGISTERS carrier boys last Satur-
day morning in Alley Is, East End,
which shows the mean, low villainy that
some men will resort to to further their
ends. An eleven year old son of Mr.. J. W.
Pultz, who carries the REGISTER to regu-
lar subscribers on the East side, has for
some time past been abused by men and
youths who have called him all sorts of
names and hurled vile epithets at him.
This one of these contemplate rascals
repeated on Saturday morning, when the
boy, stung to the quick answered them,
whereupon the coward, who was 4 young
man and much larger ran after him.
Seeing that young Pultz would escape,
another craven caught the boy in alley Is
and kicked him so hard that he fell to
the ground, whereupon the big brute re-
peated the act, then sneaked off. This is
nice work for these dastards to be at
whipping lad because he is industrious
and trying to earn little money. Why
don't these contemplate poltrOons at
tempt to vent their spleen on some one
who is not q child?

the Grand Opera House in the "Payements

posed of first class material, and the drama
is considered to be the greatest melOdrama
before the public. 1t has a very strong
plot and holds the audience spell bound to
the fall of the curtain. Manager Genther
has reduced his prices of admission to 10,
% and s. cents, and this will no doubt
pack the house, as it is the first time that
this drama has ever been played here to
low prices.

sufficiently important event to assemble a

rs the meeting was for men there was n
noticeable absence of ladies in the main

THE SERMON.
IwOuld like to call your attention to
three men who are noticed in this chap
ter. You know great man had prepared
feast and had invited many guests. The
time had come for the supper, and as the
guests did not come he sent out his servants
TO see what was the matter, and we are told
that the guests all began to make eX-
cuses. Now, propose TO apply this par
able 10 YOU. 1t Is not often that common
people like us get chance to 60 to a great
feast, but have an invitation to a royal
feast to offer to each Of you. But l know
you are all like these invited ones--you
all begin to make excuses
Right here let me say that there is q
great difference between RdriRg an excuse
and making one. An excuse which is made
Is almost certain to be q mean and
e0utemptible one. Adam is the first ex-
ample of man trying TO excuse himself
Tor wicked action and he sneaRs behind
his wife and gives as q reason thot she
tempted him. What contemplate ex-
ample is this for the first, and all excuses
have partaken of the character of this first
one. Let me tell you that the practice of
making excuses is
THE DEVILS CRADLE,
and ifyou get in it he will rock you into
the sleep which wakes In perdition.
Now let us look at the excuses which
were made by these persons who were in
yited to the feast. The first man didn't
