American Guns.

There was time when foreign made
shotguns - English especially-could
outshoot, outkill and outlast anything
that American gunmakers put together,
but now the Yankees are making as
good guns and as cheap as anybody III
the world, and they are improving their
opportunities in way that makes Tor
eigners do anything but smile.
An American Field correspondent
saws: "If you want a gun, buy an
American made one, and you will get a
good shooting gun, and gun just as
good in material and finish. Everybody
talked foreign made guns to. me, and /
cot one. / sold it and had n pump gun
made bv big American firm. aud | can
do lust NJ good shooting with 1t as with
any gun in Europe. -.
That is about the way most OF tho
writers On shotguns write TO American
sportsmcn's , crs, and it is noticeable
that American made guns are often
mentioned ia tales Of bird shooting APP
pearing in European papers Tor sports
men.

All that was mortal of Mrs. Edward
Ryan was laid at rest yesterday morn
ing. Her memory will long remain with
the many in this community that had
learned to love her gentleness and unseli.
ish disposition. The funerap was the
most imposing in point of attendance
that has occurred in Hancock in years.
The ceremony at the church was most
impressive and many OF the great throng
were moved to tears. People of every
degree, and not only oi St. Patrick =
church parish, but of all denominations,
crowded the sacred edifice fully an hour
before the commencement OF the solemn
high mass.
Father AtGeld was the celebrant of the
mass, with Father Langner, OF Negaunee,
az deacon and Father Peter az sub
deacon. Father Langan, OF lshpeming,
was master OF ceremonies. There we're
also in the sanctuary Fathers Keller and
Wallace, OF Hancock Rezek, OF Hough-
ton; Nosbisch, of Lake Linden; Cavicci,
OF South Lake Linden; Zimmerman, of
Dollar Bay, and Pakiz, Poulin and kro-
gulski, OF Red jacket. 1t was noticeable
that after the mass was finished, there
was no address made. Ii was the high
est tribute to the memory OF the de-
ceased lady No spoken words could
have eulogized her that il done IN the
hearts of those who loved her
The pall.bearers were NJ. c. Scuily,C. T.
Harrington, j. II. Quinn, j. ID. Cuddihy,
John Spring, and James Gaul.
The church was most beautifully deco.
rated. The affairs were almost hidden
by purple and white drapery, and masses
of flowers. loose and in designs, covered
the coffin. At the cemetery the samelov-
ing solicitude for making beautiful the
last sad rites was apparent. The grave
was almost hidden by robes OF mixed
evergreens and flowers, and the last rest
ing place was made to seem more soft to
the Borrowing family thereby.
The attendance was very great from
Calumet, and the cortege when it moved,
though it did not contain nearly all the
carriages in attendance, yet reached
more than from the church to the GENE
terry. During the hours OF the funeral all
business places in the town closed.

Seeking Information.

A lady riding on railroad train was
quite annoyed by the fixed stare of a
long, lank, leathery looking woman
sitting just across the aisle. She had
piercing black eyes, and she kept them
fixed on the lady's face.
Finally the train stopped at little
station, and the keen eyed woman leaned
across the aisle, and, laying bony, ring
loved hand on the lady's arm, said:
"Scuse me, ma am, but kin L ask
you question:"
Certainly.
"Well, l jist wanted to know if your
complexion is natchreel or if it's one of
these inameled kind I've heered of. y

LUXURIOUS EUGENE.
Under Tier Rule Paris became n Scene Of
Estrsvegant Fairyiand.


There was Is sort &C intoxication in
the very atmosphere Of Paris, fever of
enjoymont--A passion for constant
amusement, for constant excitement,
and among women for extravaganza i'll
dress. This was encouraged by the
court, with the intention Of giving an
impetus to trade and Of gaining popu-
larity by favoring constant festivities,
and consequently constant expense. In
the days of Louis Philippe there had
been great moderation in all matters of
luxury; the king and queen were aged,
sensible and economical; the young
princesses were kept within rigid bounds
by example above them But when the
emperor came To the throne, after u
period of revolution and consequent
commercial stagnation, he wished to
revive trade, and also to give the pres
tige of splendor TO court which SO
many did not seem to take in earnest.
His beautiful wife. suddenly raised to
supreme position for which nothing
in her previous life had prepared her.
finding what seemed unlimited means
within her reach, keenly enjoyed the
possibility of procuring everything that
pleased her, and enhanced her remark
able personal attractions by all the adj
vantages of exquisite toilet without con-
sideration of cost
Everything that she were suited her
admirably. Others tried to initiate her,
and the general tone became raised. She
had the art cf constantly choosing some
thing new and unusual, which attracted
attention, so that, instead of being sat
isfied with conventional types cf silks
and satins, which formerly had been
considered sufficient for all occasions,
every one tried II invent something diff
ferent from others and to improve upon
what had been seen before. Consequent
", not only in dress, but in all matters
of taste and luxury, there was an cager
struggle to outvic others, to reach a
higher degree cf splendor, and extrava-
gance became universal. Paris was a
sort of fairyland where every one
seemed rich and happy. What lay un-
derneath all this would not bear close
examination-the dishonorable acts of
all kinds which too often were needed
to produce the glamour deceiving super
fetal observers. Life In the Tuile-
rics," by Anna l.. Biclncll.

Roman Theaters, 1850.

The theatrical entertainments were
very good, and the cost of attending
them was exceedingly small. While in
the leading theaters of London or Paris
there is usually one great actor or singer
who overshadows the rest of the compa-
ny, in Italy all the actors were moro
nearly on the same level. Many an even
ing we have enjoyed an Italian play OF
opera at the modest cost of Ira (nine-
pence halfpenny). In the summer time,
when the Apollo and the Vale were
closed, the Correa was opened i'll the
mausoleum of Augustus. There was no
roof to it but the sky. The performance
began at and ended ut 8 or half past.
The price of chair i'll the pit was "a
Ira, and there was no objection to ci-
gar. The last time we were there the
play was shakespeare Romeo and Jul
let" The acting was excellent, and
the text Of Shakespeare translated into
Italian was closely followed. In the
Italian theatcrs then You could for a
Ira have seen Ristori and Salvini i'll the
same plays as they performed in Lon
don, where gold had to be paid for en-
trance. Chambers Journal.

For we were young aud dreams were passing

And earth seemed all 10 smile with tenderness
Upon our love. and we were happy-yos.
A thousand ways 10 Us life seemed complete.
This love learned 20 look upon rs dead,
And yet tonight feel n dull, strange pain,
An ache here in the throat cannot sway;

Tho swelling of her throat-but dreams are
