Mr.. q. II. Rrxnn

Mr.. @. B. Bryan spoke as follows:
The writer who trar smttsd t. future
ages the incident OF the cherry tree
aud Ratchet in the life OF the boy who
could not tell lie, conferred an in
estimable benefit on poslerty, and l
feel that | will honor our guest and
perhaps pleass his Friends oy givioe
some "reminiscences OF him before he
became the rolund, fat and sleek jour.
nalist we now see. A good many
years ago, gcaded to desperation by
dyspepsia, applied farm Of 900
acres TO il. 1t relieved my dyspepsia
and pocket at the same time We
were a rude aod simple folk in
the n ghborhood. The mules
wcrs shuck collars, the men one
"ea,lus" aud coparas brooches, and
the women sun bonnels and dresses
innocent OF puff or pannier or hustle.
Suddenly there burst IN upon u a
leau, cadaverous young limb OF the
law, who bought trsct OF combined
strong and marehy land and starred
out as farmer. His personal appear.
auce was not in his favor. He had a
lean and hungry look. The neighbors
locked askancs on him from the b3-
ginning. He did not always 90 to bed
at early candle light; he had books
which no one could read, aud talked
in some unknown tongue Of al
kalis, phosp hates and guauo. He
wore gum boots reaching to
his waist, and had a fierce, vicious
way of attacking etumps and roots
and with instruments of Soma out
landsh kind which he was believed
to have borrowed from the Evil One.
He might, however, have lived down
all the fusp.c on aud distruat, but
when they found that he had named
his bleak hill.ide, crowned with a log
cabin, "Kalorsma," their fOrbea ance
gave way. In vain did sympa hjz-
Ing reigtbor try to divert the storm
by calling his place "OIose to
Dosk's", ard spelled cose with
X. They won d none of him.
They boycotted him and cast him
out. He quit farming aud 10 this pop
ulsr uprising we ara indebted for the
avalanche" of wit and wisdom with
which we have been favored for a year
or more. May we net now expect
that in the new field on which he has
entered he may encounter some other
Kalorams, like Bllaam's as7, to warn
him that neither farming nor keeping
Uncle Sans seal is his proper voca-
ton, but the broad field OF journalism
for which he is 30 eminently fitted and
which he 80 adorns.

Mccall street, over whose door hangs
the sign of Sam Kee, Chinese laun.
drymsn, was the scene yesterday fire.
noon at about 1890 o'clock OF an ualy
and bloody crime. A curtain hanging
on the inside OF the glaze door Of the
laundry almost ehuts out the view
from the street, and the miscIeants
were enabled to do their bloody work
unseen by any passer by. The first
alarm was given by Mrp. Catherine
Horrigan, who keepG the American
House next door, and rente the laun.
dry to the Chinaman. She cav two
men, one rather tall and OF stout build,
and the Other OF shorter stature and
wearing derby hat, enter the laundry
and close the door behind them. A
short time afterward they came out,
and the smaller ono locked the door
on the outside and put the key in his
pocket. She called TO them not to
lock the door, but they paid no atteG-
ton TO her and walked hurriedly out
to Main street and turned down
TO the southwark. Fearing that
something was wrong, Mr' Hor-
rigan ian to the door Of the lauu-
dry and looked through the glass. A
horrible sight met her eyes, The pa
per covering the laundry table was
splashed with blood, and the floor WAS
also stained with the tell tale fluid,
giving evidence OF crime that had
Just been enacted. Sam Kee lay be-
mind the end OF the table near the
rear wall, wIithinR convulsively, Mrs.
Horrigan called 10 him, and he raised
his head. 1t WAS covered with blood
mis- HoTrigan summoned assistance
and opened the door with key Of her
own, The poor Chinaman was found
to be almost liieless. His head was
swollen to twice liz natural niza, his
left eye wGs closed and blood was
streaming from his ears and mouth.
He was conscious and managed TO say
