A Trrift Story About Ohanfrau.
Frank Chanfr iu wa3 plavin in St.
Louis in Match la-t against Salvini. On
Saturday llio tragedian gave the usual
matinoe, but Chaufrau did not, so he
went to se the great Italian act. Both
companies were stopping at tho same
hotel, and at dinner were silting at ad
joitig tables. Mr. and Mrs. Chanfrau
were sitting together, while opposite
them, at tins next t:ibl sat Salvini and
Chizzola. Salvini did not speak a word
of English, and when an vono addressed
him iu that tongue Ch'zzola inter-pr-ted.
Wlien Chanfrau entered the dining
rom ho bowed t Salvini. As ho sat
down, Henrietta said:
'Say S'.met i iL' t him. Frank."
"How can 1? He don'i understand
English."
-Will," repli-tl his wife, ' Cliizzo'a
will tell l im."
-What shall I say?"
-Tell him you saw him play to-day."
-I saw you this afternoon." shouted
Chanfrau across the table. Chizzola
interpreted and Salvini smiled.
-Delighted," suggeste I Henrietta.
-Delighted," repeated Chanfrau.
-Charmed with the performance,"
whispered the lady.
'Charmed with the performance."
bawled the comedian.
-Think it your best part, "murmured
Mrs. Chanfrau.
-Think it your best part," yociferat
ed Mr. Chanfrau.
By this time the members of the two
companies were almost choking with
suppressed laughter. In the meantime
Mr. Chanfrau had begun to drink his
Boup, and some of it was dripping down
his chin.
-Hope.I shall see you again," whis
pered his wife.
-Hope I shall see you again," re
peated the husband.
Just then Henrietta saw the soup
that was leaking out and whispered:
'Wipe off your chin."
-Wipe olFyonr chin," shouted Chan
frau at Salvini.
Just then there was a howl of laugh
ter, and the subsequent proceedings
can be imagined better than described.
When Mrs. Chanfrau told this story
of her liege lord at Long Branch a
few evenings ago, he rose up from
the hammock where he was reposing,
and said:
-Don't you ever make me so ridicu
lous again. The next time, if I don't
kuow my part, I'll gag it." Nym
Crinkle.
A Costly Dinner.
The most costly dinner ever served
by the late Delmonico was that given
fifteen j-ears or so ago to 100 promi
nent citizens of New York by the silver
tongued adventurer from England, Sir
Morton Peto. This ostentatious indi
vidual expended 20,000 on that one
night's entertainment, $200 for each
guest. The first citizens of New York
were present, victims of this oily
scamp's pretentious phrases. Iu a re
view of that dinner, the limes has d -described
it as a marvel of skill and
art and extravagance. The salon was
smothered in the rarest flowers; the
menu was in gilt on embroidered satin;
some of the wine cost $25 a bottle; the
cleverest musicians were engaged at
fancy prices; Clara Louise Kellogg had
1.000 for two songs, and a present be
sides of a diamond bracelet. - I.i all
probability such a dinner had never
been served in the republic. It would
have delighted Soyer and Fraucatelli.
and had the ancient Greek Philoxenus
been there he would have again wished
for the neck of a crane that he might
longer enjoy the passage of so many
dainties down his greedy throat." Al
bany Argus.
A Scrap of Biography.
We are always interested to see how
men or women come to suceess. Caleb
Cushing could read sixteen hours a
day. and remem'iered nearly every
thing he read. When he was appoint
ed Chief Justice of the Supreme B .-uch
of Massachusetts he read sixty volumes
on different laws in nineteen days. In
Washington he used to work from 5 in
the morning till 11 at night, sometimes
till 4 in tho morning. His boyhood
was spent in poverty, with plenty of
hardship. lie married a wife as studi
ous as himself. The secret of , his -success
was memory and n great power for
work. A lazy man never amounts to
much. A poor memory can be culti
vate I till i' becomes a good one.

Literary Note.
With its next number, Harper's
Young people begins its third volume.
The two years of this periodical's
growth have lifted it from a vigorous
infancy to a robust youth. The aim
ot its publishers has been to make
Harper's Your,; People attractive
without being sensational, and to this
! end they have secured the services of
a high class or writers and artists.
This fact has been recognized by the
Chautauqua "Young People's Union,"
which has included this illustrated
weekly among the works which the

ON TIME.
The merry Christmas season is
drawing near; the year grows decrepit
and feels already the chilly hand of
winter striking to its heart, The
small boy of the period begins to
count the days to Christmas, and
checks them off, one by one as they
pass. The young man meditates on
the new leaf he is resolved to turn
with the New Yrear, and decides that
a few mere black marks on the leaf at
present open will be rather a good
thing than otherwise, as tending to
make the leaf-turning process afore
said more pleasing and striking; and
the maiden dreams of Christmas par
ties and New Y'ears calls, with, it may
be, a trifle of superstitious veneration
for the ancient rite of the Mistletoe
Bough. Papa, inspecting his bank
account, thinks Christmas gifts a nui
sance, but supposes he'll have to
make some all the same; Mammas
deft fingers are busy with cunning
needle work, while her mind adverts
to mince pies and puddings of the
plum; and meetings of the smaller
fry are held in secret places to dis
cuss the enthralling question, "what
do you Buppose we'll get?" or the less
absorbing proposition "what had we
better givs."
Meanwhile, those whose special
business it is to minister to the wants
of Christmas keepers, have not been
idle. Iu proof whereof there comes
to us by mail the Christmas number
of our old friend "Ehrich's Fashion
Quarterly, full from end to end of
things for old and young, and sugges
tive on every page, of. ways to make
Christmas pleasant, and the Holiday
season a time of rejoicing in very
truth. The book is a complete com
pendium of Christmas gifts, and hap
py will be the child, and wise the
parent in whose home it finds a place.
Every article is lucidly described, .nd
the prices of all ara given, and very
moderate they seem.
As a special compliment to their
Christmas patrons, the puplishers an
nounce that they will send to each
subscriber whose subscription reaches
them within a certain limited time
a copy of the "Christmas Musical
Album," which is described as a col
lection of nine pieces of music by
Gounod, Godfrey, and others, specially
adapted to the Christmas season. This '
alone is said to be worth the whole
subscription price of the magazine.
The Fashion Quarterly is pub
lished by Ehrich Bros, of Eighth Ave
nue, New York, at SO cents a year, or
15 cents a copy. -
From "The Times."
Editors Times: Seeing an article in
eur paper last week from Arnold
Parker, I was impressed with the ear
nestness with which he appeals to you
to continue to enlighten the world in
regard to the means by which he was
bo miraculously cured of rheumatism
aud hip-joint lameness by using Ken
dall's Spavin cure. The article to which
he alludes by Dr. Bates, impressed me
so favorably with the real merits of
this remedy that I tried it also for sev
eral bleiiiisiie on my horses and found
it the most perfect cure 'I ever tried
for spavins and other blemishes, as it
completely removes the enlargement
in every instance by coi tinuing its use
for several days after the lameness
had subsided. The perfect success I
have always had with Kendall's Spav
in Cure led me to use it on my own
OVERCOATS AT $2.00 !
person, and for all the family with the
very best results as a amily liniment.
While several of the cures made with
it have been almost miraculous, none
have been more satisfactory than sev
eral cures which I made with it of
foot-rot and also sore-teats a3 well as
warts on teats on of cows. I consider
it a :nre cure fcr sore teats or foot-rot
in either cows or sheep. With the sat
isfaction this remedy has always givn
in every instance, I cannot refrain ask
ing my friend Parker that you contin
ue to make known to the world this,
the grandest discovery of the nine
teenth century, l ours truly,
James A. Campbell,
Herkimer, N. Y., Sept. 10, 1881.
The above letter, with one publish
ed last week, encourages us in our ef
forts to make our paper one of the
most valuab'e Journals in the country
and to all our patrons, and we now ask
others of our readers who have been
alike benefitted by the letter published
one year ago from Dr. Bates that they
send us for publication, statements
which they wish to make for the bene
fit! of others, (Ed.)

fearlessness of absolute independence. The
success of this experiment was the euccens of
The Sun. It effected a permanent change in
