very long in finding it.
AS a newly arrived emigrant in New

language, ard being youth of no educa-
tion worth mentioning, was not at all
particular as to the nature of the work he
got, SO long as it was VI ork, and brought in
the money he was after. But he possessed
a commercial spirit and an inclination to
barter, and it was not long before he had
n corner grocery, wore white apron, and,
with Iimping speech was booming the quail
ity and economy of his stock in trade. But
buusiness dragged, and collections were
somewhat difficult. There was a iveii
hood in the grocery, but Claus wanted more.
He bought grocery at Louisville, but took
up his march again after the nimble
American dollar, and brought up at New
Orleans When he heard that gold had
been discovered in California, he started
straightway for the Pacific coast.

The sugar refinery owned by Spreckels
was making him rich man very rapidly
The refinery was all right, SO far as ie
went, but it was only one, and there were
three others in san Francisco. Claus got
them all, either by purchase or subsidies.
To the owners OF the largest he paid the
enormous sum of $500 600, they agree

The general added that he thinks the

the enlisting stations. A very fine class
OF men are now among the applicants, and
the standard is already greatly improved

false impression, they must have a charm
of no mean kind. But in any case, and
that matters more than any bricks and
mortar, the American universities are
seats Of learning, alma matters, that men
can and do love. Witness the yearly bene-
factions which their sons, and not merely
those who are miIlionaires, provide for
their greater glory And the American
university can do more than make her sons

worthy OF existence, She can inspire her
children with a love Of their country and a
willingness to sacrifice themselves for

of the university.
On the walls Of Memorial Hall are in
scribed with the utmost simplicity the names
OF the men who died for the union, the dates
OF birth and death, and the name of the

good taste and simplicity of the inscriptions
is not without its significance.

to those who fell and to those who raised so
worthy and so touching a monument. Let
us hope and trust, if ever our unity as a
free people were endang cred, as was that of
the English beyond the sea, the sons OF our
universities would prove themselves to have
learned as worthily the greatest lesson that

patriotism and of self-sacrifice to a just and

When asked about the future, the general
said he had no settled plans. He will, in
an probability, live quietly at his country
home for time, and may go abroad. He
10y no means proposes TO abandon his inter
est in matters military. On the contrary
he has now quite a laboratory and work

war is to be seen in miniature. The time
he has devoted 10 matters OF this sort has
absorbed much OF his money, too, and Gen.

We regard things that date from Cromwell

in truth it is rather the Americans who are

Tribulations of a Man Who Went to
the Theater Alone

TrfbulationS of a Man Who Went to
the Theater Alone.
Have men any right to attend a matinee
without capable female escort? He had
never been to a matinee before, and on this
occasion found that his seat-at a certain
swell theater across the bay, was just
beyond thoseuccupied by twoy oung women.
He paused doubtfully; while they both
looked at him. Then the farther girl began
to gather up her hat, her cape, her bundles,
a programme and bunch of flowers from
his seat All these things she piled on top
of the open box of chocolates on her knee.
Then she stood up and he started to pass.
The second girl seemed inclined to keep her
place, but when it was clear that with the
best intentions he could not get by her, she
heaved a large sigh, and clutching the con-
tents of her lap, rose. Then the box of
chocolates dropped. 1T was my fault, he
murmured, and getting by her he knelt in
the narrow space between the rows of seats
and began to pick up the scattered chocO-
Iates. He gathered most of them, except
the three he was kneeling on, and those he
offered to Oscrape off if she wished.
Meanwhile the girl dropped her opera
glasses on him and stepped on his fingers.
When, finally, they were all seated she
dropped her programme; he went under the
seat for that, and she offered him choco'
late AS he felt sure it was the one he had
tai ken out of the hair of the woman in
front, he declined Then, says the oak
land Echo, she asked him if hehad ever read
the book from which the play was taken,
and all through the next act she told him
about it. When it came crying time she
found her handkerchief missing, and he
could not do less than offer her his. At
the end of the act he decided to go out
for drink. She had her parasol in new
place, and he fell over IT in getting out;
besides, the veil of the first girls hat
caught on his vest button and he pulled
her hat after him. When the girls settled
down they said they thought men were
awful nuisances at the theater, and then
they discussed the discomfort to them
selves that would cnsue on his return. He
stood up for the rest OF the play, and de-
clares-this young man does-that if he
ever goes To a matinee again he will take
his sister for protection.-Chicago Times

A steamer running on rails is a curious
sight TO be seen near Copenhagen. Two
lakes are separated by a narrow strip OF
land on which rails are laid, running into
the water on either side. The steamer,
which is forty-four feet hong and carries
seventy passengers, is guided to the rails
by piles like ferry-Slip. It has wheels on
either side which fit the rails, and is
driven at full speed up one side of the in
cline and down the other into the water or
the other side.
A queer trade is followed by half dozen
sidewalk merchants outside OF the Phila-
deIphia house of correction. Every person
discharged from the institution receives
on leaving new pair OF shues. Traders lie
in wait for the dischargedp prisoners and offer

and twenty-five or fifty cents in exchange
for their new pair. In great majority Of
cases the trade is made. The house of

mind at that particular period of his life.
American dash and enterprise had not then
made any impression upon his Germanthrift
and caution. Therefore, while adventurous
spirits were out in the mountains fighting
and digging like wildcats, Claus was con
tent to resume his white apron and corner
grocery, which he did in San Francisco.
Money was plentiful and profits were large.
Claus saw his bank account grow day by
day. He sent to Germany for his broth
ers and they came in the next ship.
Then Spreckels and his brothers bought
an interest in q brewery. Their bank &C.
count grew larger than ever, and whcs
Claus was offered something like $4,000
for his interest in the brewery he accepted
the money aud invested it asugar refinery.
