There are some objects that excite
the cachinatory instincts of men and
women in spite of themselves. No
body with grain Of humor can look q
William goat or burro in the face
without laughing. And nobody can
contemplate the impassive counten-
ance of Mark Twain without getting
ready to laugh. He is irresistible and
inimitable. The moment he ran
lightly up the steps and shambled
across the platform, with his chin and
nose in the air, last night, the people
beamed upon him. The audience
gurgled with pleasure, and giggled in
anticipation of the fun that was in
store. He carries with him to the
lecture platform the matchness sang
froid and Unborn genius OF the natural
story-teller that makes him delight
full companion in private life. He sits
down with his audiences and tells them
funny stories with quaint richness of
expression and variety that never tires,
and he is as fresh when he get through
as when he begins. Better yet, he
leaves his hearers equally fresh and
light-hearted. But everybody knows
about Mark Twain, and everybody
knows that there is nobody like him,
and can be nobody like him. He is
the King Of his kind.

A COOP RECORD.-If success he a
test of merit Judge Porter may be
fairly accorded a just need of praise
for achievements in his profession
which seemed at the time to afford
very little hope for a favorable issue.
He brought Nose Scott, judicially. to
life. although the probate and district
courts had united in declaring that he
had been dead for twenty years, and
he obtained this decree from the
highest court in the land-the U. S.
Supreme Court. The other day the
enemies of Lum 10 rejoiced over an or.
der Of the court that he should return
to his native land, he being here in
conflict with the exclusion act. The
hearing had been held, and the de-
cree entered. but Judge Porter secured
a rehearing and a reversal OF the order.
A few more such achievements and
Judge Porter's services will be in
steady demand for cases which present
but Il forlone hope of success.

THE OTHER ONE

Sweet little maid with winsome eyes
That laugh all day through the tangled
hair;
iazing with baby looks so wise
Over the arm Of the oaken chair.
Oearer than you is none to me,
,Dearer than you there a be none
Since in your laughing face I see
Eyes that tell of another one.
Here where the freight softly CLOVIS,
Sheltered and safe, and snug and warm,
What to you is the wind that blows,
Driving the sleet Of the winter stormf
Round your head the ruddy light,
Glints on the gold from your tresset
spun,
But deep is the drifting snow tonight
Over the head Of the other one.
Hold me close as you sagely stand,
Watching the dying embers shine;
shall l feel another hand
That nestled ono in this hand of minel
Poor little hand. so cold and still,
Shut from the light of stars and sun,
Clasping the withered roses still
That hide the face of the sleeping one
little maid, while laugh you may,
Sorrow comes to us all, / knowI
perhaps for her to stay
Under the drifting robe of snow,
Sing while you may your baby songs,
Sing till your baby days are done;
But oh, the ache of the heart that longs
Night and day for the other one.
