Festive Cowboy.

On Tuesday, at independence, a
gay and festive gentleman of the
genus cowboy, became rather too
big for his boots, and begun, he hav-
ing purchased and imbibed several
decoctions of the fiery fluid, to think
he owned the town. Getting too
noisy, City Marshall Bohannan en-
deavored to arrest him, when the
fellow, whose name could not be
learned, drew a knife, and stabbed
the marshal i'm the arm.
He then escaped, and ran out Of
town, but the marshal got a crowd
together and started after him.
They corraled the fellow out on the
road, the marshal pointed a pistol
at the fellow, and 50 did another
man in the crowd. The fellow
drew his knife again, however, but
was knocked down twice by man
from behind, before he could be sub
dued. He was then handcuffed,
and taken to the city Jail. He is
being examined to-day before the
justice Of the peace in Independence.

a very good audience occupied
the chairs at Reeds Opera house
last evening, the occasion being
Miss frankie p. Jones first public
concert. The house would have
held a few more, and those who
failed to gomissed the greatest treat
that has been offered to the Salem
public in a long time.
After the opening selection 10y the
orchestra, an eight hand selection
by Misses Dalrymple, Hughes, Brey-
man and Reynolds gave to the au-
dience an inkling of the excellent
character of the entertainment that
was to follow. Miss Edith Hughes
rendered Chopin's Grand Nalse
Brillante-a very difficult selection
in a very excellent manner show
ing p erfect mastery of her art.
\ duet by Misses Kate Reynolds
and Jessie Dalrymple was followed
by Ernani, Ernani Involami, by
Mrs. w. A. Wetzell, the rendition
of which proved her to be in excel
lent voice, and certainly no more
pleasing, thoroughly cultivated and
powerful voice was ever heard on
Salem stage. In response to an en-
thusiastic encore, she sang that
beautiful plantation song, "Way
down upon the Swanee ribber."
Les COuriers, piano solo, Miss Jessie
Dalrymple, "The Jolliest boys alive"
Messrs. Parvin, Bagley, Cooke and
Burke, a pleasing waltz 10y Misses
Jessie Breyman, Ethel Crane, Maud
Hirsch and Blanche Woodfood, fol-
lowed in regular order, and Mrs.
Louis Kuhn rendered DonniZetta's
famous Linda de Chamouny in eX-
cellent style. Mrs Kuhn's playing
is that of the finished artistic. Prof.
j. NJ. Coomer's Carnival of
Venice"-. a very difficult cornet
solo, with variations, received a very
hearty encore. "The Last Rose of
Summer" was executed on two
pianos by Misses Lulu Smith and
Lena Breyman, and Miss Laura
Goltra gave the last two movements
from Beethoven's moonlight sonata,
in a delightful manner. a humor-
Gus reading by the talented young
elOcutionist, Miss Brown, was en-
cored, and the encore was responded |
to with "Cuddle doom" Miss Jones
then played Weber,s Concert
Stucke, and in response to long
continued applause rendered Club
ling Spring, There is no use for the
writer to say any thing of the char
acter of Miss Jones execution. 1t |
is always artistic. Mrs. Wetzell |
then again raised the enthusiasm |
of the house, by singing Bobolink. |
Her response to another vociferous
encore was "Bonnie, Sweet Bessie,
the Maid of Dundee" Comment is
unnecessary. Such a song ard such |
a voice, when properly blended, cer-
tainly make happy combination.
Wollenhaupts' Grand Concert
march, by Mrs, Krausse, Misses
Moores, Scriber and Moores, well
rendered, was followed by Mr.. James
Ross in 81 fear no foe," and as an
encore which he always gets, and /.
deserves, "Jerusha Jane and l." |
This most excellent entertain
ment then closed with Sounds |
from the Ohio" an eight hand selec-
ton 10y Misses Lulu Hirsch, Jessie
Breyman, Mabel Adair and Jeanette .
Meredith. 1t can safely be written
that this concert was fully equal i'm
every musical and artistic sense
to any ever before given in Salem.

ApropoS of matrimony, curious mania
seems to have broken out among the scions
of our first families to marry the servants of
the house. There have been half a dozen
cases during the last twelve months of these
model examples of dudedom converting their
mothers waiting maids into their mothers
daughters-in-law. Only few weeks since
another case of this kind was reported. In
this instance the fortunate bride was the
French maid of one of the best known
women in society in New York. The son, be
it said to his credit, although he is a de-
| cidedly sappy young fellow, processes an
| honest affection for his wife, and has posi-
| lively refused to allow his family to cast her
| off. Between the fear of public scandal and
the acceptance of daughter-in-law of such
humble station the family have not hesitated.
| They have accepted the situation with the
| understanding that the son and his bride
shall travel about the world for a year OF
| two, until the odor of her inferior condition
has blown away, when they may receive heI
on sufferance.
As rule these marriages do not end Sc
happily. The bride is generally bought of
or forced into accepting a separation anC
divorce Indeed, there was quite row
early last winter, occasioned by the refusa
of well known and opulent family o
Knickerbocker antece'ients to pay servan
girl whom their son had married, tn
amount promised her in consideration of he
permitting him to be divorced. The oddes
part about these curious matches is the eas
with which they are kept quiet. If tn
daughter of the house runs away with tn
coachman, the papers will, to moral Gel
tainty, be full of it; but suppose a superio
interest attaches to the eccentricities of th
fair sex 1t is such common thing for
dude to make fool of himself that when b
does it no one gives it any particular after
| tion-Cor Pittsburg Bulletin.

The patient was again anasthetized. An
incision was made in the neck over the
tumor. The cartilagipous cyst was CORFU

The surgeon had to proceed with the greatest

had quite an interesting talk few days
ago with John Lester Murphy, the queens
private telegrapher. His position is decid-
edly sinecure He travels about in her
majesty's retinue and does nothing else but
attend to the queens telegraphic correspond
ence, which does not amount to very much.
Murphy said the queen never talks to him
direct when she dictates q telegram, but does
it through one of her private secretaries. On
the occasion of Emperor Frederick's death
her majesty and a secretary entered Muir
phys room at Windsor. Victoria began to
dictate message to the dead kaisers widow,
but the secretary failed to understand her.
She finally became impatient. and said in
German to the operator: Murphy, I'll die
tate this to you. You seem to be the only
man of sense in the house" Considering that
his royal highness, the Prince of Wales, and
his highness Prince Battenberg were at
| Windsor just then, it doesn't seem strange
that Murphy feels himself highly honored.- =

SECRET OF MEMORY.
No Royal Road to Strength of Mental
Powers-Exercise and Practice.

No Royal Road to Strength of Mental
Powers-Exercise and Practice.
Superstition knows no bounds. Ever
since men began to be civilized there have
been theorists who have made living-and
some of them a very handsome living-by
protesting to impart some wonderful secret
which should increase the beauty or prolong
the youth or strengthen the memory of the
credulous disciple. All men and some
women like TO be thought young and beauti-
ful; and the advantage of being able to say
at any moment when Queen Elizabeth died
and who stabbed Eglon, king of Moab, is
obvious to the meanest capacity. Teachers
of memory will always find occupation, but
those who think of employing them should
think twice There were distinguished pro-
fessors of the art in antiquity, Greeks for the
most part, omniscient and shifty, and ready,
as Juvenal SAYS, to undertake anything,
from rope dancing to scaling heaven, for
consideration Metrodorus, it is said by
Pliny, could repeat literally anything that
he had once heard Like astrology and
divination, mnemonics has just that sufficient
| air of relation to reality which is sure to
mislead the unthinking and the uncritical;
teenth and Fifteenth centuries this fantastic
science came again into notice. 1t has never
| quite lapsed into obscurity since that time.
| 1t is to be hoped that not many readers can
recall as part of their personal experience,
the career of NJ. Gouraud, who created an
excitement in this country forty years ago
with his system of ''phreno-mnemotechny,
the idea of which was an application of the
Arabic numerals. The syllables, Sc, te, ne,
me, re, lie, she, Ike, fe, pc, represented the nine
figures and the cipher, and by the combina-
ton of these syllables the mind was to lay
hold at once on any fact, or date, or passage,
and reproduce it without error.
Part of the charm in all these systems lies
in the abracadabra, the unintelligibility of a
formula which affects the mind of the
neophyte with its cadence, just as the old
woman found that it did her good all over to
hear that sweet word, Mesopotamia." The
formula and the readiness TO believe in any
thing that promises to do away with the OBJ
durate law of hard work will account fol
much; but bow does it happen that no one OF
the thousands who have wasted substance
and time on these hollow deceits has left q
record of his experienced That experience
has been, by the nature of the case, uniform
No man has ever yet been found who sue
ceeded in acquiring strength Of memory by
any other process than continual practice
and effort. Those who seem to improve by

only because they then first seriously givt
