ADJUSTMENTS. A
The Two Johns.'

A house full of hilarious people greeted ''The Two Johns" at the opera house last evening. Of course the great center of attraction of the comedy is looked for in Philip Johns and his dromio cousin Peter The combined weight of the pair is some thing like half a ton, and they seem to grow fatter and funnier with increasing years. The support generally was fair, and the singing and variety business in troduced into the play give it a finishing touch.
 Seeman's Electra Company.
 Professor Seeman, the Swedish prestidi- gitateur, gave an exhibition of magic that has not been surpassed by any magician in this city The part of Electra was the most astonishing and bewildering of all In this diversion Professor Seeman sus pended in mid-air Mile Seeman, anG placed her in several statuesque positions without any visible means of support The audience was inclined to be skeptica at first and whispered about hidden wires etc. but when the magician passed a hooI over the person of the lady while poised il mid air without encountering any obstacle the audience was convinced and applaudeC vigorously ly.-Cincinnat Times.

has been nominated for President. Has platform demands equal rights for Women, Education and Accomplishment being potent factor. She demands as a starter that the men purchase for their wives an elegant Shoninger Piano or Organ. She believes in freer trade, and thinks they ought to buy low. Knowing the extra ad- vantages Shoninger X Co possess in their line of goods she does not hesitate to give them the preference over all competitors. Buy a Piano for what it is worth is her motto. At the same time a company with business stability is preferred over those who shin along like reed shaken before the wind and can in no wise be responsi- ble for what they sell, but instead spend what little money they have purchasing some of Shoninger's stock sold long years ago. and their time running down their neighbours goods, thereby proving Shon- inger's popularity. She says hard work will make followers of cold water, Tippecanoe- and-Tyler-too, and even the blood-red ban danna prove an omen of success. We have taken her advice and are doing more business than all the rest put together. Examine our stock.

THE GOLDEN GATE.


They had entered the thorny wilderness and
the golden gates OF their childhood had forever
closed behind them.-lGH on ne FlOss,
The golden gate 7 stand beside
Is pearl-adOrned and gIOrited
With rubies rare whose radiant CLEANS
Reflect the yellow sunlight's beams.
Alas I wait
With longing eyes outside the gate.
I see the garden through the bars;
The roses blush, the iessamine stars
Shine out against q sky OF green;
The popIars show their silver sheen
cry TO Fate;
"Ope thou for me the golden gate.
It seems but yesterday tripped
Those dewv paths child who dipped
Her face mid roses born in May;
All, me. that now were yesterday
Now q grows late,
And locked against me Is the gate
A poppy's s crimson lips have stopped
To kiss a white rose meath her dropped
The kiss Of Life on marble Death,
But Death hath far the sweeter breath
She lies IN state!
Will she be turned from out the gate?
Oh 7 am tired, travel-wOrn,
Heartsick and sad, with garments torn
7 stand and bark the sound that stirred
My soul OF yore-a mOcking bird
Unto its mate
Sings gaily DER the golden gate.
Within that garden, how I sang!
The meadows and the woodlands rang
With childish music; now, alas
The summer breezes, as they pass,
With bliss elate,
Watt weary sighs across the gate.
Against the bars I beat my hands,
"Forbear,n the voice OF Fate commands.
''The years have thrust you from this place,
It uevermOre can see your face
Cold hinges CRATE!
In sorrow bowed I leave the gate.

A quieter home but pleasant, too,

had received an anonymous rift that
enabled him to accept = business OPEN
ing long looked unOu rs IN unattaiua-
BILE felicity But Jane was to spend a
few days with Gertie before going to
her own home. and the mother looked
for two brides.
It was nearly midnight when the
carriage drove up. G3rtie was first in
her mothers arms, and then, Us Jane
took her place, the little bride stood in
the center of the long parIOrs pale
with astOnishmenL She had tossed
off her bonnet and the simple straw
lay upon the velvet carpet while the
soft gray dress Of the mistress Of the
house seemed oddly out Of place.
Where am I?' she gasped at Last.
AT home, darling. And her
husband passed his arm around her
waist.
"Homel"
1t is not 4 very long story - he
said, looking down into her wonder
ING eyes; "but I did not tell you be-
fore because I wanted to see if you
loved me.
She nestled close to him, letting her
head fall upon his breast.
The farm, Gertie darling" he said
softly, ''was full of oil. "
OLE"
Petroleum. I sold it for more
money than Leon Payne ever pos
sessed. Now, pet, run upstairs.
Mother will show you the room and
let me see how some of the fHery
there suits YOU
"But it is nearly midnight
Never mind. We want a queen to
preside over the supper"
Mrs. Jameson led her away, while
Jane and her husband stood as be-
wildered as Gertie had been. Sud-
denly the bridegroom started forward
and grasped Harry hand.
Then it was you he said, "who
sent me the bundle of greenbacksg
Are we not brothers?" said Harry,
quietly.
There was q little talk then with
husky voices and moist eyes, and Jane
was still looking gratefully into
HaTy's face when the door opened
and Gertle flashed in. All the light
had come back to her eyes, the rich
color 10 her cheeks, and the shining
silk revealed snowy arms and shoul-
ders, while rich lace fell in full folds
round the sweeping skirts. Upon her
clustering curls rested a wreath OF
white flowers and rare bracelets
cIasped her wrists. She made a low
bow to her delighted husband.
"Lovelyr' he exclaimed, as he drew
her to HIM and fondly kissed her
But, pet wear the diamonds to-

"What diamondso" she asked, in
amazement.

It was ten years later when one
evening at one of Mrs. Ciarke's re-
ceptions Mrs. Lon Payne said, point
ing to her jewels:
1T was the cd lest thing about these
diamonds. Somebody sent them to Leon
for valentine, years ago. He could
never guess where they came from for
of course the lady must have been
wealthy, though why she sent 4 lady's
parure to a gentleman is a mystery.
Aren't they just too lovely for any

There had been a long interval Of
silence in Mrs. Jameson's little sitting
room, when Gertie made this exclama-
ton.
What is the new bother, Gertie"
The pleased voice and look of kind
ly inquiry made the young girl blush
deeply as she replied:
"Oh, mamma, never mind. l was

voice of amazement
But there is nothing stylish or
handsome in cleaned gloves, and re-

"Gertie, put away the bonnet and
come here. Now, little daughter,
said the widow, gently tell me the
meaning of this sudden TRADE against
poverty; of the restless tossing l heard

nervous unquiet of my contented little

There was no answer.
"Gertie, what did Leon Payne say
TO you last EVENING"
He asked me to be his wife, The
words were ierked out hastily.
"And you answered.
Jane came in to shut up the parlOr,
not knowing he was there, and she
stayed; so he had no answer at all.
But he must be answered Gertie
He has spoken to me, and 1 told him

Mammal this was after long,
deep silence. He is very rich. When
he marries his wife can have every

No, poor Harry! If he had only

would take him into the firm. He
told me all about it last week. But

Last Thursday, while blowing in a field
near his house, John Tinney, OF Milton,
plowed up 8 rock that was partly covered
with ashes. There were no rocks on the
surface where he plowed it up, and he was
puzzled to know how the ashes came to be
on the rock. On removining the soil he
found that hole had been dug several feet
deep and then filled with rocks, ashes and
coal The land has been in cultivation for
thirty years, aud during this time Mr.. Tin
ney has never known any holes dug in it
He was satisfied the hole was dug many
years ago, and concluded that some one had
buried treasure there and had forgotten it,
so he began removing the rocks and went
down about three feet Not finding any
thing of value, he filled up the hole again.
An Indian hut once stood near the place,
and it is thought it was the work of Indi-
ans.

if the proper arrangements can be made the
company will erect a factory at Shell Bluff,
as the facilities for loading it on board the
