Some pnritanism Left.

Culture and skepticisn and the growth of luxury and refinement are no doubt af- fecting English character, but to an ex- tent which only seems considerable because the cultivated and skeptical, the refined and luxurious minority exaggerate it. The exaggeration is apt to deceive, be- cause the classes which have outgrown the influence of Puritanism are disproportion- ately vocal, as they are relatively small, while the classes among whom that inf1u- enoe is still dominant are virtually voice. less multitude.
 But the impartial student of the nation. al character is constantly being confronted with evidence to the fact that the process of so called emancipation" has reached but the merest fringe of the community, and that the great bulk of middle class Englishmen. are still to all intents and purposes, the true spiritual descendants of a Puritan stock Social England, H. D. Traill.

THE COW QUESTION.
It Is Discussed From Both Sides of the
 Garden Fence.

It Is Discussed From Both Sides of the
 Garden Fence.
 We have received a communication on the subject of the town COW, and though it is we'll written and properly signed we do not like to give it space, and for several reasons. The COW question has done more to embitter life, separate families and de- stroy the peace and quietness of entire communities than all others. Like other questions, there are two sides to the COW argument-the oow's S side and the other side. Those who own COWS are on the cows side; those who don't own COWS and do own gardens and shrubbery arc on the other side and there to stay.
 Still we never could see why the COW so craved diet of choice roses and valuable shrubbery. Her butter or milk af~ays goes at the same price. Columbia river water is better than all the roses to en- hapce tho value of her yield. Why shouldn't she run at large if she wants toG Some people neglect their plants and bushes, and the COW trims them up. She also reminds the man of the house that he has left the front gate open and does it delicately, because she always wakes tho mans wife up first, or the hired girl, and she tells him, and he gets up and exhibits his pajamas to the neighbors by the light of the silver moon; also his tenn per, and the latter can best be seen on a dark night.

HOW THEY MET.
'Twas In a Crowd, and the Place Was the
 KeeIey Institute.

There have been many strange expe- riences gone through by the worshipers of the Keeley institute in Dwight, Ills, moro so perhaps three or four years ago than at present, when there arc so many branches established in different states. One of these experiences happened some three years ago.
 There was brainy, brilliant crowd of literary, fashionable, thespian and legal lights there who had all gathered to secure a respite from the cravings for liquor, opium, morphine and other habits. Among them was an old codger dressed in heavy, dust covered cowhide boots, with hickory shirt and butternut overalls, who kept apart from the rest of the throng and seemed to feel somewhat out of place in the gay and better dressed crowd.
 One evening delegation of about 700 all told, including perhaps 250 ladies, went down to tho depot to see tA jag train" come in with the new arriyRs on board. One of the first to leave the cars was handsome fellow of perhaps 35, who was carrying all he could navigate un der, and who was feeling decidedly happy. Catching sight of the sedate old unknown, who had accompanied tho crowd to the depot, he said to his companion, who was trying to keep him within bounds:
 "Lemme go, femme go I tell youl There's man 1 want to sec. /"
 Then he ambled toward the hickory shirt and extended his hand with mock dignity, saying:
 "How'sh yer honor? I'm glad to see yer"
 By this time the bystanders had caught on that something was going on and be- gan orowding around the maudlin new Conner and the sedate old gentleman. Turning round to the crowd, who were eagerly looking on, the tpsy candidate said:
 ''P'raps you folks don't know it, but thish the chief justice of the state of -, and, by love, I'm the attorney general. < After that the chief justice resume his , ordinary garb and proved to be one of the 2 most companionabe of the brilliant co. terle gathered at Dwight-Minneapolis Journal.

The Morphine Habit In France.

Dr. Jules Rochard, in The Union Medi- cale draws a gloomy picture of the in- crease of the morphine habit in France and elsewhere The habit, he finds, becomes inourable at the end of six months of in- diligence. The fair sex and the doctors are, in his opinion, most deeply addicted to morphine. He draws an unpleasant comparison between the behavior of each kind of delinquent. Women, he says, de- light in declaring how they indulge in this vice and show ornamental hypodermio syringes to their friends. Dr. Notet states that lady, having broken the needle of her syringe in remote country village, wounded her skin with scissors and thrust the stump of the needle into the wound, injecting in this manper till pew syringe arrived from Paris.--

THINGS DRAMATIC.

A full gallery and dress circle and fairly good parquet audience greeted last nights spectacular production, "The Black Crook,'' and witnessed a splendid per- formance. In fact, Springer 6 Waltz may feel proud of the company they have with us today to present this well-known old |, but eyer new production.
 There Is an immense company, among which are many especially fine performers, and their work last night evoked a contin- uous ovation from the delighted audience.
 Miss Blanche Henshaw, who is Known to theater- goers of this city, made the great est hit ever seen at O'Brieu's; in fact the performance was forced to come to stand still in the third act so great was the ap- plause with which one of her specialties was greeted. Miss Henshaw has improved much since her last appearance in this city and is decided acquisition to the con- pany.
 MT. William J. Mills as The Black Crook, ably assisted by Mir. w. H. Mack as his assistant, were exceptionally clever. Mir. c. E. Graham was clever Rudolph and Mir. R. J Ward did capitally as Count WRllepstein. Harry West as the counts steward was very good.
 Miss Grace Wilson as Stalacta and Miss Daisy Williams as Amina were very fair to look upon and acted their parts admirably. Miss Ada Boshel as Dame Barbara afforded much amusement in her role.
 The scenic effects, costuming and ballet were far beyond the average and the specIalties were as fine as one could care to see.
 The performance is void of vulgarity and is commended to the theater goers.
 There will be special matinee today and repetition of the performance tonight.

=, STRAUSS AND HIS DOG.
A Story of the Waltz King, Retriever
 and His Feminine Admirers.


 and His Feminine Admirers.
 'The Strauss jubilee" said a New York impresario to reporter reminded me of an incident of the visit of the great composer to Boston at the time of the Gill moro jubilee which I do not remembeg ever to have seen in print At that time Johann was in the full blaze of his glory, and the Blue Danube waltzes were as well known in this country as Yankee Doodle, and so when the composer was found to be handsome dapper little man, with lovely eyes and mass of wavy black hair that was almsst as extravagantly long as Paderewski's, the Boston musical wom- en went wild over him. He was courted and caressed and feted and followed until it is wonder his head-hair and all- was not turned, but Strauss had too much good business tact to lose control of him. self, and he accepted erything-civility and ompliment-with smile that was as com prehensive as it was stereotyped.
 Strauss was great dog fancier at that time and was accompanied by magnif- cent black retriever Toward the last of the great concert days some enthusiastic young woman sprung the idea of getting lock of Strauss hair for her locket- lockets were worn by everybody in those days, you remember. The fashion grew into fad, and from fad blazed up to fury, and with his comprehensive smile Johann promised every applicant me- mento. And in due time the locks were distributed-how many hundreds of them don't know-each one accompanied by the compliments of the waltz king. Some statistical cuss said that enough hair had been cut off and distributed to make Strauss look as though he had been sand papered, yet when he left Boston for New York his locks were as bushy and profuse as ever. It was remarked, however, that when Johann's beautiful black haired dog was put into the baggage car the poor creature looked like shorn poodle. ''-- New York Sun.

Gore Trial Posponod.

Last Monday was the day set for the trial of Henry Gore for the killing of
 Harry Webster, the Memphis detective, on the 22d ut. Judge Green was
 promptly on hand, but early in the
 morning letter from Prosecuting At
 torney, H. F. ROlrsOn, to his mother, who lives in this city, stated that he
 was sick at his home in Agusta, and was therefore unable to attend this
 court. Judge Green subsequently, re- ceived telegram from him to the same effect, and requesting continuance of the Gore case till next term of court. Quite an array of friends and witnesses train from Palestine and Goodwin, loads of human freight rolled into
 town from the same locality.
 | At II o'clock, amid densly packed
 courthouse, Judge Green requested, "Mr. Sheriff to open court" N. B. Fizer, assistant for the prosecution,
 made motion for continuance in the case, owing to the absence of MT.
 Roleson, as he felt the error in attempt ing to conduct the case without the
 leadership of Mir. ROleson, whereupon
 court adjourned for dinner. At
 o'clock MT. Fizer again entered an ap-
 peal for a continuance. which was
 granted, the case being get for We'd nesdaY October 12. Gore is very much
 disappointed at the turn of affairs, and would have preferred the trial to have gone on.
 The cowardly conduct of Detective Richardson in refusing to come to the trial WAS severely commented on, and the people are convinced that he 8 not | made of the material that novelists | would desire in detective.
