OuR esteemed contemporary, the Ex-
press, thinks it is more than likely that
Blaine's resignation was brought about
by irritation, in large part due to his
enfeeoled physical condition. If any
reliance whatever is to he placed in
eastern dispatches touching the plumet
knights condition, he is enjoying most
sound and vigorous health. Indeed, ha
seems TO be altogether too healthy to

ADJUSTMENTS.

A most peculiar rendering OF Louis
XI was given at the Los Angeles theater
last evening by Mr.. W. ]. Kohler and a
support formed chiefly of amateurs. The
affair was greatly enjoyed by the au-
dience, though possibly not in the way
that would most please the performers.
Mr.. .Kohler was hard working and
tenacious in his role in the face of diff
culties which we're calculated to disturb
an artists equanimity.
The play is billed for the rest Of the
week. The prices of admittance have
been placed at figures that will permit
all classes to enjoy the performances.
~
A rather small, but highly apprecia-
tive audience assembled at the Grand
opera house last night to see Carroll
johnson in The Gossoon. The play, un.
der some other name, we have all seen
before, as it contains no new elements
from what we have been taught to ex-
pect from long course of experience as
the conventional Irish drama. There is
the usual complement of:jigs, songs and
love-making, intermixed with an evic-
ton or 80 and few murders, in which
the hero distinguishes himself as pro-
tector of virtue, defender of hearth
and home, and fond lover OF the "ould
sod." It all ends with the defeat OF
vice, the triumph of virtue and adouble
wedding with 'lashins and lavins," )"
after the true Irish manner.
Carroll johnson as Clancy O'Connell,
the Gossoon gives very good impersona-
tion of warm hearted Irishman,
though, be 1t said, scarcely of an Irish
gentleman-thati is character we have
never yet had the pleasure of witnessing
on the stage. His songs were well
chosen and vociferously encored. Miss
Bennington as Rose O'Connell was the
true, whole-souled Irieh girl who is
ready to risk everything but honor for
the man of her choice, while Miss
Osterman as Annabel Grey, the sweet.
heart of Clancy O'Connell. gave very
acceptable presentation. Mrs. G..
A. Mortimer as Pansy Peters,
a London waiting maid, deserves
more than passing notice, in her char.
acter of the ''penny dreadful" victim,
who is looking for her ideal in the shape
of young man with q "halibaeter
brow, raving locks and a sad, sweet
smile." Mart E. Heissy. as Gordon
Keene, the adventurer, who causes all
the trouble; Thomas Dempsy, ss an old
Dublin beau, and Collin Kemper, as
Barnard Malley, young farmer and
the betrothed of Rose O'Connell, were
very acceptable; while Charles Frew,
as cullen, the tool of Keene, proved
himself very far beyond mediocrity.

A CrneI Love Charm.

Two young girls were cited before the
local court in Ottakring, Germany, {
few days ago on the charge'of cruelty tc
animals. They were both scarcely six
teen years old, yet each had her lover.
In order to secure the affection of these
young men to them until the end Of their
days the girls resolved to carry out love
charm which is guaranteed to be effectual
for that purpose by "Zauber und Wun-
schbuchleiu, printed as long ago as 1905,
and still regarded as an infallible helper.
The "prescription," which il in Old
German rhyme, and probably a great
deal older than 1905, runs as follows,
roughly translated:
Would'st thou have thy sweetheart true? Y
Give him cats eyes I his wine. III
Thou thyself must pluck the eyes out; al
Twelve weeks Old must the cat be-
At midnight by light OF the full moon
Thou must burn the eyes to powder;
Put the dust into his wine and say,
Cats eyes, cats eyes, never look with love
at another,
Keep thine eyes ever for me aloner'
Do this and he will be eternally erue.
In order to carry out this hideous SUI
perstition the young girls took two kit
tens belonging to a Frau Helm, dug out
the eyes of the poor little beasts and
then prepared their love powder. New

A Remarkable Banquet.

~ have eaten apples that ripened more
than 1900 years ago, bread made from
wheat grown before the children of
Israel passed through the Red Sea,
spread it with butter that was made when
Elizabeth was Queen of England, and
washed down the repast with wine that
was old when Columbus was playing
barefoot with the boys of Genoa" is the
remarkable statement made by writer
in the ST: Louis Globe Democrat. 1.-THE
remarkable spread was given by an an
tiquarian named Goebel in the city OF
Brussels in 1871. The apples were from
an earthen jar taken from the ruins of
Pompeii, that buried city to whose peo-
pie we owe our knowledge of canning
fruit. The wheat was taken from u
chamber in one of the smaller pyramids,
the butter from a stone shelf in an old
we'll in Scotland, where for centuries it
had lain in an earthen crock in icy water,
and the wine was recovered from an old
vault in the city of Corinth. There
were six guests at the table, and each
had nouthful of the bread and a tea
spoonful of the wine, but was permitted
to help himself literally to the butter,
there being several pounds of it. The
apple jar held about two thirds of gal
Ion, and the fruit was as sweet and the
flavor as line as though put up yester
| day."

A Dramatic War Incident.

The survivors of the First Iowa Vol
unteer Cavalry have had gold medal
struck, which is to be presented to a
Confederate officer, Lieutenant j. W.
Graves of Company A, Third Missouri
Cavalry, for saving the lives of seventeen
Union soldiers who were in his care as
prisoners. Captain II. S. Hiberling
gives the following dramatic account of
the incident:
September 25, 1864, Lieutenant j.
W. Graves of Company A. Third Mis-.
souri, Cavalry, with forty Confederates,
while escorting under a flag of truce
Captain j. T. Foster and sixteen men of
the First Iowa Cavalry, was surrounded
by detachments of Todd's, Anderson's,
and Quantrell's guerrillas in a lonely
spot about twenty miles from Lexing-
ton, Mo. The guerrillas numbered $50
men, aud were in command of the no.
torious and merciless Jesse James and
Cole Younger. Having halted both
detachments marching under the flag of
truce, the guerrillas demanded of Lieu
tenant Graves that he Immediately sur
render to them the Federal soldiers.
This, he felt, would be to hand them
over to be massacred and with an honor
and valor that were chivalric, he def
antly declined to do so. Riding in
front of his men, and addressing the
guerrilla leaders, Lieutenant Graves said
that the men they asked to be surren-
dered were in his charge and that if a
shot was fired or an attempt made to
injure them, he and his men would die
In defense of their trust and the Federal
soldiers. This courageous declaration
quailed the guerrillas and they sullenly
departed without being able to crafty
their brutal taste for murder and
blood.n

Six-Mile soundings and No Bottom.

The greatest depth of the ocean has
never been satisfactorily ascertained,
owing to the mechanical difficulty OF
constructing sounding apparatus that
will bear the strain, Captain Ross
adopted the plan of using heavy
weight with small line and by this
means reached $4,000 feet. when the
weight broke the line. The greatest
depth to which reliable soundings have
been made was ascertained by Lieuten-
ant Walsh, to be 500 fathoms, "a, 300
feet, more than six miles, and even
then no bottom was found, the line
breaking at the reel. There was no
doubt of the accuracy of the test, for
during the descent of the weight an
exact plumb was preserved; there was
uniform increase in the tension, with
no check at any time, fact which SHOWS
that the bottom had not been reached.

Cholera SuperstitIons.

Perslans and Turks are almost scared
to death at the approach of cholera and
resort to extraordinary devices in the
hope of warding oil the dread epidemic.
Thus in Persia the natives weep, wall
and gnash their teeth and in Turkey in
cessant prayers go up to the prophet,
imploring him to preserve his faithful
followers from the terrible scourge.
A strange ceremony was seen in
Meshed the other day. A horse, covered
with tiger skin, was led out into the
principle street ana all the Persians in
the city gathered round him. From the
tiger skin hung countless amulets and
the animal was otherwise curiouslv
caparisoned. A lal of sixteen years was
mounted on the horse, aud, after black
flag had been placed in his hands, the
great crowd marched in procession
around the market place, at the head
being three young girls. who were
dressed in red trousers and black jackets,
who shouted "Ali Houssem! All
Housseml" to which the throng replied
with loud prayers, lamentations and self
fagellation.
After a while the procession broke up
and the crowd went home and, gathering
a supply OF provisions. such as bread,
mutton, butter, eggs, &c., took it down
to the riverside and spent the remainder
of the day there feasting, weeping, vail
ing and pounding their breasts with
their clenched fists. Their one aim was
to propltiate their deity and thus escape
cholera, and it never occurred to them
that they were actually inviting the cpl
dcmic by feasting in this mad fashion. =
