An Audience That Listened to Every
Word of the Great Superintendent
Selden Connor Refers Appropriately
to the Poet Whittier as a Great Repub-
lican.

Hcan.
City Hall has for many years held mag.
nifcent audiences on the Saturday even
ings before the State election of Monday.
1t has become a regular thing for Mr..
Reed on that evening to make his final
address for the campaign to the citizens
of Portland But Saturday evenings
meeting, both in its proportions and in
the eager interest with which every word
of the orator was awaited and received,
rather surpassed the meetings of other
years. Even those of the audience who
were forced to stand in the anterooms, on
the outskirts of the crowd, barely within
sound of his voice, stood through the
speech with the same absorbing interest.
And for his part, Mr.. Reed rarely, if ever
spoke better. In elevation of tone, in di-
rectness and conciseness, in its rich fund
of humor, the speech is model of politi-
cal oratory.
Mr.. Reed and General Selden Connor,
the chairman of the meeting, were es-
corted to the hall by the Republican
campaign battalion, and at the hall were
accompanied to the stage by large COM
pany of prominent Republicans.
Chairman Seiders presented
General seIden Connor,
who was cordially received with much
applause. General Connor said that it
was on the eve of the State election, when
the whole State was resounding with
preparations for the great contest of
Monday. At such a time it was appro-
pirate to recall the words of the great
poet:

A Curious Superstition.

A wedding occurred in New York
The only curious thing about the affair
was that the bride had but one eye, and
that the loss of the other was the cause
Of the wedding.
They grew up together in their native
village in Austria without any special re.
gard for each other. A few months ago
they were playing at cards, and Martin
by accident injured Victoria's eye. A
day or two after he sailed for America,
and lately heard that Victoria had lost
her eye through the accident. He i'm
mediately wrote offering to marry her,
and the wedding resulted. 1t is a ira
dition in Austria that il an unmarried
man destroy the eye OF an unmarried
woman, he must. within two twelve
months. make her his wife, or "mourn
where'er he 60, his days full Of woe; in
life or death he shall know no rest, his
body accurst, his soul unblest, woe to
him on earth or air, woe to him fore'er
and e'er." A tale is told of a Prince
Karl, who accidentally put out the eye
OF a peasant girl. He wanted to marry
her, but the king would not consent, and
great misfortune pursued both. The
king was killed, and the prince after In
credible suffering, committed suicide

The Anatomy Of the Oyafer.

A clam is considered as an emblem of
stupidity and callousness. But you will
make a great mistake IL you put the
oyster in the same category ns when you
class Chinaman and Japanese to-
gether. The oyster is so strong that no
human fingers can open the doors of his
house il he wishes to keep them shut.
Liver and digestive organs he has, as sen
sitive as ours; respiratory organs as com.
plicated rs the human lungs; machinery
for getting water supply and for pre-
venting an overflow, and wonderful
mechanism for trapping his food And
he has heart whose pulsations may be
seen after his house has been torn from
him.
Knowing this, it is easy to comprehend
how cultivation and care may not only
improve it in looks, but also cause the
quality of its meat to surpass that of the
uncultivated oyster, as much as grain-fed
poultry surpasses the product OF the barn
yard.
When your host offers you oysters that
are are plump, round, thick, deep, light
colored, and fringed quite thick to the
very edge, then you may be sure that they
have not only lived with few disturbances,
but under a high state of cultivation.

A New Process For colorlns skins,

BY new process now being introduced
the coloring Of sheepskins for rugs, etc. =,
has been much simplified, while at the
same time the appearance is said to be
considerably improved beyond the ordi-
nary article. According to this method
the skins, after being tanned in the usual
manner, are well watered and nailed fat
on a board Of corresponding size, with
flesh side downward.
A bath Oh beck is made up with the
colors required, and the board with skin
allowed to float upon it, so that the wool
hangs downward; the beck is then grad
ually heated up to the temperature neces.
sary for dyeing, care being taken that no
waves are produced-the point Of consid-
GRAFTON in this respect being not to allow
full boiling to be reached-and, after the
dycing is accomplished, the skin is rinsed
on the board, then loosened and dried
II many skins are to be dried, large,
shallow watts and casks are fitted up, upon
which may float the boards, the latter to
be well driei to prevent warping. New

numbered. A few years ago herds Of
10 or 80 of them were often met in var
ious parts Of Africa. Dryden says that
10 giraffes are now large herd. They
have been hunted so mercilessly, both by
natives and foreign sportsmen, that they

The intelligent African king, Khama,
has, however, taken the giraffe under his
protection and hopes to save it from ex.
termination. He has forbidden the hunt
ing Of tie giraffe in his large domain, and
in this way he hopes they will multiply
in his country. 1t is an interesting fact
that Russia has preserved the European
bison from extinction by setting apart a
forest OF Lithutania for them and per.
mitting no one to molest them.

Anderson, one of the early explorers
OF this region, said that / 200 pounds of

three years not less than 900 elephants

dimished is shown by the present very
small ivory export from Walfish Bay.
