What can man do in life to keep
his memory green for hundred years
years or so? No question is SO hard to
answer as this, and the history of most
famous men and women contradicts
the answer a philosopher would be
most likely to give. Two hundred and
four years ago there died in England a
man whose parentage was obscure, ed
ucation almost nothing, and whose life
had been almost always under clouds
of poverty and persecution. Yet this
man. imprisoned for his religion, in
that confinement produced book that
is still model of pure and clear Eng
lish and still published by thousands
and read by millions. That book was
Pilgrims Progress of which Nc
Cauley wrote that after it had been for
a generation treasure i'll the cottage,
the philosophers discovered that it was
a classic. Pilgrims nowadays, how
ever, do not have such a weary progress
as Bunyan's hero. Though they travel
from one side of the continent to the
other, their pilgrimage is made delight
fully easy by the Pullman sleeper, the
dining car, and the reclining chair car
all of which comforts are found on" The

eipal cities. For other information,

iuhuutlHuiu istuSct VI
1t is something to be noted and to be
thankful for that, in the present state of
politics, there is one man of eminent
position-a recognized leader of influ-
ence and popularity-who dares to take
a decided position with regard to vital
questions, even at u risk of personal
loss, and at a time when politicians are
lodging, hedging and evading those
issues which should be fairly presented
and squarely met, to the end that the
people may, through intelligent discus
sion and subsequent consideration of
them, determine their respective merits
and defects, and by voting for or against
them, remove them from the sphere of
politics as disturbing, harassing causes.
Mr.. Cleveland, by his declared adj
herence to the principles which he is
convinced are good, and the adoption of
which he believes would be of advantage
to the country, when he stands so promi-
nently before the country as political
leader and the most popular one of his
party, demonstrates that there is at least
one Democrat who would rather be
right, or as he thinks right, than Presi-
dental candidate. The spirit,of moral
courage he cvinces in maintaining the
integrity of his convictions is one which,
if generally displayed by those who
lead the partisan hosts, would go far
toward hitting politics out of the ruts Of
cowardly expediency and sordid per-
sonal interests into the smoother, fairer
ways of craftsmanship, and make it the
most potent of all factors for the accom-
plishment Of good government.

"Once upon time" said George
Lederer, 81 was travelling with vaude-

Painted Post, Neb., and Eau Claire,

musical conductor, and that gentleman,
having lost his razors at a country hotel,
became dependent upon the infrequcnt,
but none the less terrible, rural barber.
For an entire week he was unable to
unearth one of these gentlemen, and his
face took on the appearance of an
amateur currycomb. One evening we
reached a town, compared TO which
Cohoes might be considered a seething
metropolis. 1t was nearly o'clock,
and the company rushed directly to the
theatre. When the time came to start

out from the side of the curtain and dis
covered the orchestra-four yiolinists,
an oboeist and pianist-eating apples
and exchanging funny stories with the

MIR. Dockstader and His Minstrel COM
pany Had to Return From Europe in
the Storage.
Baltimore Sun, January l2th.
Among the 265 steerage passengers
landed at Locust Point yesterday by the
North German Lloyd steamship Amer
lea, Captain Bruins, from Bremen, were
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles r. Dockstader and
10 colored male and female members of
Dodd's Black Comic Opera Company.
Mr.. Dockstader is well known in Balti-
more, where he has often appeared in
the theatres. He said that with 40 col
ored men and women, all good vocalists
and musicians, he left New York last
May. The whole of the saloon accom-
modations on the steamship Zaandam
had been chartered by the hackers Of
the combination. The company opened
at Hamburg in the Flora Gardens,
which have capacity for 10000 per-
sons For four weeks the attendance
was immense. Then in turn Hanover,
Medgelburg, Zerbt, Dessau, Cologne,
Mont Gladbach, Aachen, Mainz, Cob
lentz, Strasburg, Frankfort-on-the- Main,
Hamburg, Ems, Berlin and other cities
in Northern Europe were visited. After
ward many were revisited by request.
During the tour dissatisfaction broke
out or sickness compelled the return OF
members to the States. On December
21st. 1891, in Copenhagen, the enter
prise collapsed, but not, Mr.. Dockstader
said, without every member having been
paid to date. The originators of the
| project lost 10000 marks. Twelve Of
the company remained at Copenhagen
Mr.. Dockstader says he has contracts to
take troupe to Europe in July next
who will carry all over the continent d
a first-class entertainment. They are tc
be colored performers. Mrs. Dockstadcr
u very pleasant woman, took her return
home in the Storage very philosophi
cally. Mr.. and Mrs. Dockstader left fol
their home in Philadelphia and tn,
others left for different points in the
South. Madames Zelika ana Valeska
two colorcd prima donnas, were in thu
company when it left New York.
