A "Partingtonian Afternoon"

Many Of our readers will recall q very de-
lightful entertainment at the Universalist
church few weeks ago in which Miss Shill-
alb er of Chelsea, Mass, daughter Of the fam
GUS humorist, the late Benjamin P. Shilla-
Der, better known as "Mrs. Darlington"
gave readings from her fathers works. The
Ymerean Club of Boston at its first meeting
of the season, Nov. 18th, had Miss Shill-
aber as its special guest. A granddaughter
of Mrs Partington," Miss Alice Clement,
poured tea at the informal social hour which
followed the literary exercises, and old
friends of the pioneer humorist told happy
"reminiscences of "the dear old lady"
Among these were Prof. Smith Of Andover,
Mr.. Damrell of the old corner bookstore
also native Of Portsmouth, J. T. Trow-
bridge, Mr.. Reed and Mr.. Crandall. 1t was
we'll said by the Boston Globe in its report
of this "Partingtonian Afternoon" that
MRS. Darlington" is dead, but his fame and
his kindly influence live. He was born in
Portsmouth, N. H., in 1914. From 1910 to
1850 he was editor of the Boston Post, and
from 1851 to 1858 had editorial charge Of a
humorous paper called the Carpet Bag.
From 1856 until 1866 he conducted the Satur-
day Evening Gazette. In 1S47 Mr.. Shillaber
began the Mrs. Darlington sketches. To
these he owes his worldwide reputation, al
though he was the author Of several books.
OF the guest Of the afternoon the Globe
said: Miss Shillaber is tall, very graceful
woman. with very pleasing, refined face
and keen appreciation of her fathers
humor. She gave charming sketch Of her
fathers life such as only one who had been
his close companion to the very last moment
Of his life could give. She spoke of the be-
ginning Of his literary career upon news
paper, and how very accidental was his
adoption of the nom de plume, "Mrs. Part
ington." Miss Shilaber gave several selec
tions from her fathers writings, which kept
the audience in continual laughter The
readings were interspersed with orchestral
selections.
In an editorial notice Of the entertainment
the Boston Herald said
The appearance of one of the daughters of
Mr.. Shillaber before one of our women's
clubs as an interpreter of some Of the wit
and humor of Mrs Darlington is an event
we'll calculated to excite popular interest.
Probably it is not taking undue advantage
of the clubs hospitality to say that Miss
Shllaber's performance is one that deserves
to be heard on the public platform. Her
manner is that of a trained public speaker,
and the material with which she deals is
something unique in the line OF genuine
humor. Every body has an affection for
Dame Darlington and her son Ike, and the
privilege of hearing the old lady's sayings
interpreted by one of the Shilla6er family is
something that the general III Mic Wpuld an

Congressman Milliken Tells Story

Hon. S. L. Millike.. was met on train re-
Gently by newspaper man and in the course
Of conversation the Congressman remarked
with smile that President Cleveland ought
to be ready to sign a tariff bill calculated to
provide sufficient revenue for the running
expenses of the government, as he has al
ways claimed to be in favor Of tariff for
revenue. and as tie Wilson bill has failed to
raise sufficient revenue for the ordinary ex-
penses Of the government it seemed to him
that be should be willing to try some other
plan.
"But would he sign such bill ?" was ask
ed and MIR. Mi!liken said the question re-
minded him Of a story. Some years ago
farmer in town near Belfast thought he
owned remarkably fast colt, and was
anxious to race him. He offered to match
him for $780, against "anything you fellers
have got"
None of the farmers who heard his talk
wanted to try conclusions with his trotter,
but at last an old fellow said: "Sam, L
take that bet, an I'll enter my young steer.
Sam thought the matter over for moment
and said: II won't do it. You never can
tell what burned steer will do"
"And no more,' said Mr.. Milliken, lean
you tell what Mr.. Cleveland will do"
