WOMEN WORTH MARRYING.

What sort of a wife makes a good
comrade for a man7 What constitutes
a comradeship between husband and
wife?
I will put the answer in a nutshell
presently, but first let us take a look
around at some women who illustrate
various phases of that peculiar and
right relation.
| know a young woman who is
experimenting her brothers sheep
ranch on the plains, She is city girl,
a college graduate, a refined woman,
but she mounts a horse at daybreak,
frequently, and rides yer the ranges
to make sure that the herders move
the focks out of the night corrals
betimes. That woman is an ideal
comrade for her brother; she shares
his life and pleasures and cares.
I know a woman in Canada who, in
true comradeship, shared with a
husband the business reverses that
shouldered them both out of comfort
in a great city to begin life anew in a
PKG border village. She makes that
wretched place seem gay to him be-
cause she fills his life with content
ment and with love of her. On one
occasion she had an awful fright and a
narrow escape frOm death, but she
made a Joke of it because she says she
thought he had had trouble enough.
A band of Indians came in his absence
to rob the store and do murder. She
ordered them out, and actually pushed
the leaders as if they had been wooden
cigar signs that she was showing out.
Her childish strength, her sudden &c
ton, her mountaineering pluck
formed a combination that was too
much for the Indian mind to compre
bend, and she won the battle.
I know a woman of famous blood
who lives on Murray Hill and leads a
life of pleasure and devotion tofashion.
The last time that I saw her she was
debating whether to go to that bed
which had only known her for five
hours in two nights, or to join her hus
band in a dash on horseback through
the park. 1t was a short debate and
could only end in one way, for she and
her husband are like a boy and girl to-
gether, side by side on horseback, at
tennis, at swimming, yachting, shoot
ing, billiards and at whatever either
likes-which is another way of saying
whatever both like.
| know a woman who is married to
a jolly railroad official whose business
depends on a great Geal of staying out
late o'nights and dining and good fell
lowship-as c~onviviality is called. His
wife goes with him and dimes with the
boys. I will admit that she is of a
rare type, out she really does exist
and she is known to hundreds, not
only here but in the West-a merry,
healthy, good fellow of a woman"
always. 81 made up my mind to do
it," she says, las soon as I found it
was a part of his life. I saw that if I
staida at home like other women Iwould
see little of him, and that was not what
I married him for"
l know the wifeof a very famous
literary man: she is most intent upon
bringing up her children in the way
she would have them go. Yet she is
her husbands comrade. She seems to
share even his inspirations and whether
she has purposely educated herself in
his lines of study or whether, as they
would say down South, "she just
naturally likes what he likes" l do
not know Yet I do know that she Is

MR.. BEEcHER's FIRST SERMON
His Widow Describes The Great
Preachers First Brooklyn
Sermon.

Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher gives an
interesting account of the first sermon
preached by Mr.. Beecher in Plymouth
Church, Brooklyn, in her fifth paper
on "Mr. Beecher as I Knew Him." in
the March Ladies' Home Journal. A
perfect food of warnings and criticisms
came to him before his first sermon.
Doubtless all these warnings deter
mined Mr.. Beecher more than aught
else that the people of his new church
should fully understand before he was
installed what course he was likely to
pursue. He told me that if Plymouth
Church decided to install him, it would
do so with it's eyes wide open. 1t was
upon the evening of Sunday, October
10th, l847. He sat quietly or the pull
pit while the choir was singing. His
eyes scanned the concourse of people
before him, but it was the look of con,
fdence that I saw. Knowing rs [ did
something Of what he intended to say,
l could not but think, "Wm these peO-
pie accept the bold course he has
marked out for his work from one
so young looking?" For his ten years
of labor at the West had not rubbed
the youth from his face. I noticed
the almost contemptuous looks of the
strangers present as they watched his
face. AS he rose to read the Scriptures
a deathlike silence pervaded the great
church. But not a tremor was visible
in the voice that spoke. With that
mellow voice which the Brooklyn
public learned so well to know, he
read the lesson of the evening as if he
were before his Lawranceburg au-
dience. Then as he uttered the first
low sentence of his prayer, as his heart
rose heavenward, the effect of the
preacher became visible on his con-
gregation, and he brought his hearers
close to the mercy-seat. All was
changed. An almost breathless sol
emnity prevailed the church, and tears
were on many faces.
The youthful look vanished and did
not return, as, in his sermon, he plainly,
and with great sOlemnity, showed his
hearers the course duty called him to
pursue. As he said of these remarks
years after: 81 lifted up the banner
and blew the trumpet in the applica-
ton of Christianity to intemperance,
to slavery, and all other great national
sins. I said to those present, eff I
remain here and you come to this
church, it must at the commencement
be distinctly understood that I wear
no letters, that I will be bound by no
precedent, and that I will preach the
Gospel as I %apprehend it, whether
men will hear or whether they will
forbear, and I will apply it sharply
and strongly to the overthrow Of every
evil, and to the upbuilding of all that
is good"
After the close of the sermon many
came to counsel Mr.. Beecher. They
were actuated by kindness 10 him and
anxiety for the church. Such bold,
plain speaking theydid not understand.
They had been used to it. 1t
would overthrow this young church.
Don't ally yourself to unpopular
men or unpopular causes" they told
him. "There is no call for it. You
will only injure yourself and break up
this church"
After preaching a month in Ply
mouth Church, he was installed as
pastor on November 18th, 1847.

A Major Who Would Train Sea Gulls.

Major Allatt, who is himself a practical
pigeon flyer, states that the Italians employ
pigeons very considerably in the Medi-
terranean in connection with their shirs of
war. The French also use them regularly
and systematically in the Mediterranean
during their naval maueuvsrs. This officer
is Of the opinion that if We are going to
use birds to fly over water for naval uur-
poses ducks would be better than pigeons.
because when a duck gets tired he drops
and sits on the water until he is rested.
and then goes on again. Ducks, moreover.
can fly by night, while pigeons cannot.
Major Allatt thinks the sea gull might be
trained also for messaga-beariug pur, oses.
Maj. Allatt warns us. says the London
Daily News, against some stories regarding
long flights by trained pigeons which have
been put forth on high authority. II was
at his suggestion that an apocryphal tale Of
pigeons sent out to and returning from tho
Arctic regions, which has aver imposed
upon YarCsll, was expunged from the last
edition of1lthat writer's British Birds.n
An equally false account of a pigeon flying
1000 miles in America is also extant. Mai.
Allatt believes the greatest distance pigeons
have flown of which we have any accurate
record Is IN the races which have taken
place two or tn ee times from Rome to Bel
GUM, a distance of between 800 and 900
miles. But i'll every one OF those cases a
very large proportion of birds AVE been
lost.

Regan and Page, of Butte, Did 1t In a
Drilling Match.
Regan and Page, who won the first prize
In the drilling contest at Butte last year.
and who will be among the contestants at
Helena next week. broke the worlds record
. few days g at Butte. Heretofore the
record has been held at Lesdville. The
Anaconda Standard, referring to ths con-
test, says:
To-day Regan and Page wrested the
worlds record for drilling from LeadviIle,
where it had been held several years. and
transferred it to Butte. Thirty-two and
one half inches in fifteen minutes has stood
for years as the best on record. but to-day
thirty-four and three-quarters inches in
the same time stands at the top notch and
will probably remain rs the best on record.
The contest took place at Columbia gar
dens. Two teams failed to show up. The
entries were: John Dolnn and Mike
UNeill; Tim McAulitfe and Con Driscoll;
Vim. Page and Dennis Regain: Jerry D..

They changed every thirty seconds and
struck short quick blows, but their drill
proved to be poor. as four of them broke.
McAuliffe II Driscoll were next and
changed positions and drills each minute,
They started in at a terrific pace and with
each blow the drill could be seen to sink,
but luck was against them. IL was when
the thirteenth minute was called that their
drill became fast, having passed through
the side of the rock. AS quick as possible
they began Il second hols and had obtained
a good start again when time was called.
Page and Regain were next. They, too,
met with q mishap. for in the last minute
their drill also passed through the rock,
and a second hole was started. but time
was called almos at the first blow. The
two Mutphys followed and surprised every
body. When time was called not a few
thought they had drilled a hole fully as
deep as that of Page and Regan, and so
confident was one of the men himself that
he offered to bet 800 that their hole was
the deepest SO far put in.
