known in every country printing office
west OF the Rocky mountains, arrived in
Aberdeen Sunday by his accustomed
overland route, on his periodical inspec.

meals and Il little cash, which latter he
soon purchased whiskcy with, and on
Tuesday, being broke" and happy, he
departed for Ocosta. He is past fifty

When the fish is in a quiet state,

two are brought together. or within

sees its own image in a looking

IA Trade Union go Years Old.

In London there is quaint old or
ganiza|ion known as the Fellowship
of Free Portcrs. 1t WAS organized
some time in the thirteenth century
and for nearly 500 years it's members
had the monopoly of the discharging
OF grain from boats coming up the
Thames A century ago the organiza-
ton had ., 800 members, wish s1r-
plus which in 1852 grew to es1, 900.
The construction of docks and the
abolition of metage or measurement
of corn destroyed the prosperity of
the Fellowship. It has been languish-
ing for several years aud refuses to
die because no provision has been
made for the dispos sal of it's funds. An
arrangement has been made recently
whereby the funds are to be dis
tributed and meanwhile each member
is to be paid ten shiilings a week.

DANIEL WEBSTER.

Joined With Jenny Lind In Singing
.'HAn Columbia"
Jenny Lind gave a concert at Wash.
ington during q session of congress,
and sent invitations to the president,
Mr.. Fillmore, members Of the cabinet.
Mr.. Clay and other distinguished men.
The Russian minister, MIR. Bodisco,
had given dinner party the same
evening, 50 that the concert was half
over before the president. the con-
greSsmen and the cabinet officers en-
tered.
The gentlemen were received with
applause, as Fillmore, Webster, Clay
and Crittenden were always received.
and when the applause had subsided
Jenny Lind struck out singing Hail
Columbia"
At the close of the first verse Web
ster's patriotism boiled over; he could
sit still no longer. and rising, he
added his deep, sonorous, bass voice
to the hute-like notes of the great
singer in the stirring chorus.
Never in the whole course of Jenny
Lind's career did she ever hear one
half Of the applause as that with
which her song and Webster's voice
in the chorus were received
Mrs Webster pulled at her hus-
bands coat-tail to make him stop, but
1t was NO earthly use; he kept on,
joining In at the close of each verse.
The narrator OF the Incl e says:
81 have seen Rubini, Lablache and
the two Crisis on the stage at one
time, but such q happy conjunction
In the national air as Jenny Lind S
soprano and Daniel Webster's bass
have never seen before. At the close
of the song Webster made her such a
bow as Chesterfield would have
deemed a fortune for his son, and
which eclipsed D'Orsay's best.
Jenny Lind courtesied to the floor,
the audience applauded and Webster,
determined not to be outdone in
politensss, bowed again; Miss Lind re-
courtesied, the audience reapplauded,
aud this was reoeated several times.

AGAINST DRINKING WATER.

A RAn Who Was Rather F.Istidious
About Using the Tank Cup.
In a room where many people
gather in day is water tank, and a
porcelain cup hangs from it by a
chain. A New York man, going up
to it with friend to get a drink of
water, attempted to show the other
how one might drink from . public
cup and still not mingle lips, SO to
speak.
"You see," he said, 'I do it this
way. l take up the cup and touch my
lips to it at this point, closest to the
handle. Everyone, yoa know, natuc-
ally holds a cup b , the handle. Hold
ing it thus it is extremely awkward to
get ones Hps anywhere except on \
certain part of one side Of the rim, SO
that people without knowing it place
their lips to almost the same spot
But as you see," he went on illustrat-
ing his action, II twist it around in
this way and get an untouched spot"
That was good theory. but it was
not borne out by facts The two
stood near the water cooler for some
time in conversation. Meanwhile
several people came up to get drinks
of water. About half OF them had
the same theory as the FIR t man, SO
that they all landed on the same place
by intention. Of the rest some picked
up the cup haphazard and drank from
any side Of the rim, so that their lips
were as likely to touch the rim near
the handle as any other place, some
were boldly daring and didn't seem to
