Count D'orsay ana Lady Holland.

A story going the rounds is one told Of
the famous Count d'Orsay. On the oo-
casion of his first visit to England, while
he was very young, very handsome and
not easily disconnected, he CHANGED to be
seated at dinner next to the brilliant and
singular Lady Holland.
That remarkable and many sided wo-
man was in, as it happened, one Of her
imperious humors, and her young neigh
Dor soon felt its weight. She dropped
her napkin. The count picked it up gal
lantly. Then her fan, then her fork, then
her glass, and as often her neighbor
stopped and restored the lost article. At
last, however, the patience Of the youth
gave way, and on her dropping her nap
kin again he turned and called one OF
the foot1nen behind him. PUT my plate
on the floor" said he. Il will finish my
dinner there. 1t will be SO much more
convenient to my Lady Holland. New

! SHALL NOT lie FOR THEE.

For thee shall not die,
Woman high of fame and name;
Foolish men thou mayest Stay,
and they are not the same.
Why should expire
For the fire of an eye,
Slender waist or swanlike limb?
Is't for them that | should die?
The round breasts, the fresh skin,
Cheeks crimson, hair so long and rich:
Indeed, indeed, shall not die,
Please God, not l, for any such.
The golden hair, the forehead thin,
The chaste mien, the gracious ease,
The rounded heel, the languid tone
Fools alone find death from these.
Thy sharp wit, thy perfect calm,
Thy thin palm, like the sea foam;
Thy white neck, thy blue eye,
shall not die for these alone.
Woman, graceful as the swan,
A wise man did nurture me;
Little palm, white neck, bright eye,
shall not die for We.

Mr.. MISUNDERSTANDING of the mystic

Growth of the Human Heart.

DIR. Benecke of Marburg has made
known his observations on the growth
of the human heart, the fact appearing
that the increase is greatest and most
rapid during the first and second years
of life, its bulk at the end of the second
year being exactly double what it origin
ally was. Between the second and
seventh years it is again doubled in size.
A slower rate Of growth then sets in and
continues during the period of maturity
of other portions Of the body. After the
fifteenth year up to the fiftieth the an
nual growth of the heart is about .061 of
cubic inch. the increase ceasing about
the fftieth year.-Leisure Moments.

the congress. And / believe we could
have carried it, but we had pledged our
selves to San Francisco, and of course,
we stood by her. If we had had 10 or
IL delegates we would not have gone
into caucus with the rest OF the Califor-
mia delegation, and would have been
free to make our fight for Los Angeles,
but as there were but four OF us, we
considered that we were not strong
enough to get our resolutions passed
without the help of the up-country con-
tingent, and so we joined hands with
them. We secured the adoption of the
following resolutions:
1.-THE congress was attended by q
great many able and prominent men.
Senator W. M. Stewart OF Nevada dis
cussed "free silver" one evening with
Col. John P. Irish of San Francisco. The
opera house was crowded on that oc-
casion, and the two orators held the
people spell-bound for three and one
half hours. It WAS free silver"
crowd, but many of them thought that
Irish had the best of the argument.
''It is to be regretted that few more
of our business men had not attended.
All OF us who did attend had to make
sacrifices both in time, business and
money in order to go to Ogden. The
holding of the congress means the
spending of $25, 900 in the city selected,
and that sum of money would have
been spent here if half a dozen other
business men had gone with us.
The herald., 1893-05-02

The San Francisco delegation had
with them a carload of wine and other
products of California, and on arrival at
Ogden the headquarters that had been
assigned to the California delegation
were fitted up with these supplies and
two attendants were kept busy in dis
pensing the hospitality OF California to
the delegates and the citizens of Ogden.
Indeed. the entertainment given by
the California delegation was the only
substantial entertainment given al
Ogden to the delegates.
Upon the organization of the congress,
Daniel Freeman was appointed as the
representative of California on the
committee of credentials, Charles Fore
man on the committee on resolutions,
M. T.. Graft on the rules and order of
business and FL. J. Woollacott on recep-
tion.
Mr.. Graf, at the request of the Los
Angeles delegation, in behalf of the
chamber Of commerce of Los Angeles,
presented the delegates and their guests
1000 boutonnieres, which haG been for
warded by the champer of commerce of
the city of Los Angeles for that pur-
pose.
The resolution asking for an appropri-
alton under the continuous contract
system for deep water harbor near the
city of Los Angeles was unanimously
passed, as was also the resolution favor
ing the Nicaragua canal, in which Los
Angeles ie specially interested, and the
resolution asking the president of the
United States to invite the representa-
tives of other governments to send dele
gates to the irrigation congress to meet
in the city of Los Angeles in October
next.
Although the next congress is to meet
at San Fiancisco, the universal express
sion heard everywhere was that all the
delegates would certainly visit the city
OF Los Angeles, either on their way to
the congress or on their return. After
the congress adjourned, the members
accepted the hospitality of Salt Lake
City, and were shown by the cham Der
of commerce of said city and its recep-
ton committee the various points of in
terest in that beautiful city and the
members from the city of Los A ngeles
were Hospitality entertained at the club
in Salt Lake, one of the most hand
somely furnished and commodious social
clubs in the west.
The desire of the citizens of Salt Lake
for direct railroad communication with
the city of Los Angeles was manifest
everywhere.
MR.. FREEMAN TALKS.
Mr.. freeman, in conversation with a
HERALD reporter. spoke as follows of the
congress:
ssTen delegates promised to go, but
only four went. II we had had 10 dele
astes we could have had the next con-
gress here early in 1898, After it had
been decided in caucns among the Cali
fornia delegates that we were all to use
our endeavors TO get San Francisco
chosen for the next session of the con-
gress, several prominent delegates from
other states told me that they
would have preferred Los Angeles, and
some of them offered to vote for and
work for if we would put in bid for

Mr. Dan freeman Tells About
the Business Transacted.

Daniel freeman, Charles Foreman,
H. J.. Woollacott and NJ. L. Graf, the
representatives of the chamber of COM
merce and of the board of trade of Los
Angeles to the trans-Mississippi con-
gress, returned yesterday morning.
After leaving here they met at Sacra-
mento the representatives from San
Francisco and Sacramento, and joined
with them in caucus with the view to
obtain such favorable legislation from
the congress as they desired, and re-
solved at the caucus that the entire
California delegation should act as a
unit in all matters of interest to them.
With the very small delegation from
Los Angeles, it was quite apparent that
at the congress San Francisco would be
the point determined upon for the next
session.

A dispatch has been received at army
headquarters from Lieutenant Plum
mer at Fruitlsnd, N. NJ, to the effect
that he regards it as more probable that
trouble will result if the white settlers
are allowed to meet the Indians than il
the Navaios are left to attack the
whites. Lieutenant Plummer was tele-
graphed by General McOook to keep
the settlers quiet, as the saldiers would
attend to the indians.
Kid, the red-handed rover of the
sandy plains, has been heard from

near San Carlos, and is now probably
cavorting over the surrounding country
enjoying life in the far west. Several

Afternoon Session.

On reassembling at 3 p.m., the matter
of the protest of property owners on
Los Angeles street was the special order
of the day, and came up in it's regular
order. George HI. Pinney spoke in be-
half of the protest, and stated that tina
gravel used on the street was not of a
character to make good street, and
that it was not evenly distributed. He
thought that the surface of the sub
grade was not even properly done, and
the roller used upon it was too light to
roll it down firmly. He therefore hoped
the assessment warrant would not issue.
President Teed-Ohicer, call in the
street superintendent. (Mr. Watson ap-
peared, and Mr.. Munson was called to
the chair)
Mr.. E. Gilham was the next witness.
He said be did not object to the sub
grade because he did not see it. 1t was
covered with gravel before he saw it.
He saw it graveled, and the gravel was
80 inferior in quality that it will never
pack or make good road. Next to
the middle of the street it is firm
enough, but next to the sidewalks it is
very loose and an ordinary buggy wheel
will sink in over the depth of the felloe.
packed, nor could it be packed with q
roller.
Mr., Teed-Did you know there was
any defect in this street until you were
shown an assayer's certificate?
The witness--I don't kick at the side
walks at all and my only objection is
the sides of the roadway.
George w. Ditch thought the council
was doing the property-holders a great
injustice by refusing to accept the pro-
test. The work has probably been
better done than much work done here,
but it is not graded according to the
specification and what is the good of
having street that is not laid accord
ing to capitalization
s. M. Little said the sidewalk was
good one, but the roadway was badly
done. There were holes between Fico
and Fourteenth streets that were from
8 to feet in length and from 2 to ~
inches deep. The street certainly could
not have been laid according to con-
tract.
The contractor's ID. F. Donegan) side
of the case was then heard. He had
been given (so Councilman Rhodes
said) week in which to get rid of the
loose sand and light gravel. About
800 would put Los Angeles in ae good
shape as Santee street which was so we'll
done that no protest was had. He would
also like to see Donegan get his money
and he would also like to see the prop
erty owners get the value of their
money.

test and confirming the report was then

quite lot of time and labor were per-
formed by the commissioners and their
clerk in this proceeding. and / can see
no reason why their claims should not
be paid. AS to the bills of the two
searchers for service, they should also
be paid after they have been approved

reason why this proceeding failed, most
OF which arose out of complications as to
the line of the street. The notice pub

ALONE AT a FUNERAL.-Cornelius
Vanderbilt, the multi-millionaire, was
the sole mourner at funeral in New
York on Thursday last 1t was that of
his friend. James Raimond Reynolds,
who died on Tuesday last. Rey-
nolds was at one time editor of the New
York Graphic, and one of the most pop
ular clubmen in the metropolis. He
was member of the New York and
Union clubs, and well known and liked
in society. About four years ago his
health gave out and he was forced to
abandon business. After nearly years
illness he was, on March %, 1889, adj
mitted to st. Luke's Hospital, where he
remained until his death Tuesday.
Hardly visiting day passed on which
Mr.. Vanderbilt did not call to cheer
and encourage the sick man, and the
multi-millionaire was the only person
who braved the storm and followed the
body to the cemetery, though there
were several of Mr.. Reynolds's former
acquaintance present at the funeral
services, which took place in the chapel
of the hospital. The cost Of the funer-
al and the hospital expenses incurred by
Mr.. Reynolds had been paid by Mr..
Vanderbilt. The remains were carried
to the cemetery in Mr. Vanderbilt's
private car Woodlawn. The deceased
had long been friend of Mr.. Wander

TIRE RIyEE.-The steamer Wake

Ouantico on her way up the river from
tie lower landings, was towed TO this
city on Saturday evening last by the
tugs Templar and Harlow and then on
to Washington. The Norfolk steamers
continue to make their trips, but with
considerable difficulty. The Washing
ton reached here this morning about
two hours late. She reports having en-
countered the ice near the mouth Of
the river and had to cut her way nearly
all the way up. In some places the
gorges were very heavy. She reports
that Ishe did not see the two schooners
which had been at the Kettle Bottoms
for some days, and it is probable that
they have sought shelter in st. Alary's
river. The ice blockade is said to be
the most complete in ten years. The
skating on the river and creek is eX-
cellent. An iceboat, which was max
ing railroad time, attracted considcra
bic attention on the creek yesterday.
