Mr.. Nathan LandsbeIgeT made his bow
before the San Francisco public last Friday
evening at Odd Fellows Hall, which was
crowded to its utmost capacity and, general
ly speaking the young gentleman impressed
the audience very favOrably. He was the
object of repeated and warm applause. MIR.
Landsberger showed himself Il consummate
student of the violin, mastering with ease
all the difficulties which such an in
strument presents, though his tone may
be called sympathetic to limited
extent and lacking breadth. Es-
thetically speaking 1t may be saii
that his entire performance is wanting in
character, which perhaps will remedy itself
with the experience that time will bring him.

The Sauret MaZurka did not present,

Preacher and Landlord.

When the Rev. DR.. Tappan was
the agent Of the American Home
Mission Society, he once made trip
through the northeastern part of
Maine, Oh horseback. On arriving at
Mattawamkeag, where he was pleas
antly entertained, he was told he had
better remain over night there, as the
place which he intended to make his
next station, was rather rough and
uncomfortable, and the landlord was
a rude, blasphemous man, who might
not use him we'll. But DR.. Tappan
was anxious to carry out his itinerary
as he had planned it, and journeyed
on. He arrived at his destination at
dusk. The landlord came out, greet
ed him cordially, took his horse and
put it up, hastened in 10 help enter.
tain his reverend guest, prepared a
nice warm supper for him, and was as
polite as lightning rod agent.
Just before DIR. Tappan retired the
landlord and his family, arranged in
procession according to their ages,
filed into the room with much deco
rum, and the doctor was asked to lead
them in family worship, which he
cheerfully did.
The next morning, after the doctor
had dressed, the host, his wife. his
boys, and his girls, all neatly attired,
came in again, and the same request
was made and granted.
After a good breakfast, the doctors
nag was brought to the door, saddled
and bridled, and the good man pro.
ceeded to go on his way. He asked
for his bill.
"Not cent" said the landlord,
cheerily.
The doctor thought this reply was
strange from landlord preceded by
such an i'll reputation, and said -
"Why, l must pay you for my enter
tainment."
"You don't owe Inc a cent" said
the innkeeper. "Thc fact is, that tin
