A FIRST WOMAN.

Welcomed to a Mining Camp <* t*e FWr Wett. ' •• It was a day of jollification at Carbondale, Col., being the advent of the first wagon, the first woman, and the first board from the mill It would have been interesting to the reader to have witnessed the electrifying effect on the men in the camp when word was passed along the line that a woman was coming. Long before she

was within a mile of the camp knots of men were gathered here and there watching, looking in the direction from whence the wagon was to come. As she hove in sight, each one gathered around his or their camp as when an alarm had been sounded in a prairiedog town. Within a few yards of the outside habitation the woman alighted, and accompanied by her husband proceeded toward the County Clerk’s office. (It had been advertised that the donation of a town lot would be given the first woman who came in.) Curious eyes were watching her every step as she approached the Clerk’s quarters. But the crowd which had gathered around the office for mail receded respectfully from each side of the entrance. As she passed in, Col. Ferguson serenely loomed up, and, sailing out among the boys, agitated a reception.

Seized by the inspiration a hundred hats were removed from heads of noble structure and design, siluriated somewhat, perhaps, and a hundred horny palms passed over the unkempt locks to smooth them down, vests were pulled down, and a hundred pair of eyes ran down the respective owner’s “digging clothes,” proudly inspecting the inevitable “ball stitch” which rejoined the dismembered seam or held in place the patch of conspicuous dimensions. By a look of common consent the Colonel was the man selected to make the reception speech. Uneasily pluming his mustache with carbonate-stained fingers, the Colonel approached her and, followed by the uncovered heads, he inadvertently yanked a frog from his throat and began:

THE SPEECH OF WELCOME. “Respected Madam”—and a hundred heads nodded assent Appealing again to bis mustache for the needed inspiration the Colonel resumed again: “Respected Madam—the illuminating specter of this most fascinating occasion—” And a hundred heads bobbed serenely again in assent Pluming again the source of inspiration, the halting Colonel staggered on: “Foot prints of thine, which have first fallen on our carboniferous soil, we welcome thee. Mercury in her aerial flight trails through the starry architraves of heaven, to trail over the Silurian outcrops of Garfield county, which has become sacred to us from toil, vicissitudes and privations. It is ours by right of discovery, and you are welcome. We are conversant with your sex and some of us have been victimized. We have learned to love and cherish in memory the tiny fingers which were rubbed over our biscuits in other days and we languish for the sama The delicacy of sewing on bottons (thimbleless) is ours, and our toil-stained robes bear the traces of the Silurian outcrop. For months we have been here surrounded by the beautiful crystalline pearls of heaven, which have banked about and around us and our only solace has been the chirp of the camp bird and the weird wailings of the metamorphic blasts. We have long anticipated the daisy, struggling through the snowy depths to comfort us, as the day drew near when we laid by our snow-shoes on the limestone ledges, but this occasion is most sublime, undreamed of and unprecedented in the history of our new country. Thou hast come upon us like a perfumefreighted breath of the gentle siring time, and thou art the shrine to which we bow and bring tribute, and in behalf of these, my partners in the struggle, who stand before you with uncovered heads, some of them glistening like a burnished disc in the Silurian sunlight, heads which have been robbed of capillary traces from inevitable contact, I again say, welcome.” And she dropped.— Denver News.

A MONKEY AND A MIRROR.

I witnessed the following incident in the Jardin des Plantes, not many years ago, but it struck me greatly at the time and I have narrated it repeatedly in the interval. A large ape—l believe anthropoid, but cannot tell the species -—was in the great iron cage with a number of small monkeys and was lording it over them with many wild gambols to the amusement of a crowd of spectators. Many things—fruits and the like—had been thrown between the bars into the cage, which the ape was always fofward to seize. At last some one threw in a small hand lookingglass, with a strong-made frame of wood. This the ape at once laid hold of and began to brandish like a ham. mer. Suddenly he was arrested by the •eflection of himself in the glass and looked puzzled for a moment; then he darted his head behind the glass to find the other of his kind that he evidently supposed to be there. Astonished at finding nothing, he apparently bethought himself that he had not been

quick enough with his movement.* He now proceeded to raise and draw the glass nearer to him with great (Caution; and then, with a swifter dart, looked behind. Again finding nothing, he repeated it once more. He now passed from astonishment to anger, and began to beat with the frame violently on the floor of the cage- Soon the glass was shattered and pieces fell out. Continuing to beat, he was in the course of one blow again arrested by his image in the glass remaining in the frame. Then, as it seemed, he determined to make one trial more. More circumspectly than ever the whole first part of the process was gone through with, n*re violently than ever the final dart was made. His fury over this last failure knew no bounds. He crunched the frame and glass together with his teeth, he beat on the floor, he crunched again, till nothing but splinters were left.

WHAT MRS. NEWMAN SAW IN A HAREM.

“The gates of the ‘Abode of Bliss,’” said Mrs. Newman, “closed instantly after I entered the building. A long corridor opened into the main apartment of the harem. It was furnished with gorgebus tapestry hangings and sumptuous satin furniture of curious design. The curtained windows looked down upon blooming gardens. Ranged about the chamber in various attitudes were a * score of women. Some were seated on divans and some were kneeling. Thirteen of them were the wives of the Pasha. A cloud of negro servants attended to their wants. I could speak but a few words of Arabic, but we were at home on the subject of dress, which has a universal language of its own among women. All the women had large, long-lashed and lustrous eyes, and dark, finely-chiseled features. Their costumes were magnificent, and strangely fashioned of rich satins and loaded with ornaments of gold and jewels and garlands of pearl. Their head dresses were of silken gauze, held by bands of gold and surmounted by graceful ostrich feaihers. They wore silk trousers and silver slippers, and their finger-nails were tinged with yellow. To an elderly lady, very queenly in her movements, implicit obedience was yielded by the others. The air of the apartment was heavy with the perfume of sandal wood. A crowd of colored servants brought in cigarettes and sweet-meats and coffee, and of the delicacies I was pressed to parlake.

The eating of these dainties and gossiping with each other is the sole occupation of these women of the harem. They live in luxurious bondage, in blissful ignorance of the outside world. I longed to reveal its beauties and possibilities to them, but could converse only by gestures. Before I left a baby Pasha was shown to me. Its mother looked like a veritable 'Sleeping Beau ty.’ The interest shown in the baby and the mother by the other women of the harem was to me a beautiful evidence of the universal sisterhood of women.”— Fron a Letter on the Eastern World.

Canadian Bazar.

Mr. John Osborne, Musical Bazar, Toronto, Canada, writes that his wife was cured of rheumatism by the great pain-banisher, St. Jacobs Oil; that he has found it an invaluable remedy for many ailments.

TRIFLES AND DETAILS IN INTELLECTUAL TRAINING.

One of the first essentials in a thorough intellectual training is to learn instantly and accurately to discriminate between trifles and details. It is precisely the careful, patient attention to the latter, as it is ignoring of the former, that marks the well-devel-oped man. Genius is more than half a perception of relative values. The greatest scientist and the greatest artists alike have been the men who knew precisely what to slight and upon what to lavish the closest attention; and the sin and weakness of modem literature lies in a lack of this essential wisdom. No detail can be so slight and insignificant as to be trifling, and, on the other hand, no trifle can be of sufficient importance to be ranked and considered with the details.— Boston Courier.

A QUEEN OF THE STAGE.

•‘Her Second Love,” and the Important Secret She Reveals for the Benefit of Went—. (From the New York World. ( Several years ago the American public were aroused by'the entree upon the stage of a litt’e lady who had been previously but little announced.' She was onb of an innumerable number of aspirants for public favor, and had no instrumentality, aside from her OWn talents to cause recognition. In spite of this fact, however," she quickly achieved a warm place in the heart of the public which she has continued to hold ever since. When it was announced, therefore, that Miss Maud Granger would star the coming season in the play “Her Second Love,” written by Mr. John A Stevens, it was only natural that unusual Interest should be manifested, not only in threatical circles, but in other branches of the community. This was especially the case, as it was’known that Mias Granger had, for the past year, been in exoeedingly-delicate health, and the determination to star in a strong emotional play was the more surprising. One of the staff of this paper was »»Qr cordingly deputized to see the popular lady and verify the rumor or announce its incorrectness. " Miss Granger’s Countenance is familiar to nearly every one in the United Staten It is a face one seen never to be forgotten. Features remarkable in their outline and contour are surmounted by a pair of large and deep eyes indicative of the greatest soul power. It is easy to see where Miss Granger obtains the ability to portray characters of the most emotional nature. She possesses within herself the elements of feeling without which no emotion can be conveyed to an audience. The man of news found the lady at her home in this city and was accorded a quiet we; come. It was evident at once that she was in greatly improved health, which the expression and color of her countenance both indicated.

“ Is it true Miss Granger that you contemplate a starring tour the coming season?” “ Yes, indeed. My season begins in Chicago on the lt;th of July. Frbm there Igo to San Francisco and then plav the remainder of the season through the Eastern and Western States.” v “Are you confident your health will permit such an undertaking?” • A ringing laugh was the first reply to this question, after which she said: “Certainly. It is true I have been ill for the past two years, but now I am wholly recovered. Few people can have any idea of the strain a conscientious actress undergoes in essaying an emotional part. It is necessary to put one’s whole soul into the work in order to rightly portray the character. This necessitates an utter abandonment of one’s personality find an assumption of the character portrayed. If this is an emotional part it is necessary to feel the same emotions the part is supposed to feeL For more than a year I actually cried each night in certain passages of a part I was playing. The audience considered it art Probably it was. but those were none the less real tears and the effect w’as none the less trying upon my health.” , . , ‘ But do you anticipate avoiding this in the future?” “Not in the least I expect to have just as great a strain as before, but with restored health and a knowledge of how to retain it I do not fear. ” “You speak of a ‘knowledge of how to retain health. ’ Will you please explain what you mean by that?” “You must be aware that women by their very natures are subject to troubles ;.nd afflictions unknown to the sterner sex. The name of these troubles is legion, but in whatever form they may come they are weaknesses which interfere with every ambition and hope in life. I believe thousands of noble women are to-day suffering agonies of which,even their best friends and relatives know little or nothing, and when I reflect upon it I confess it makes me sad. Now all this misery arises largely from an ignorance of the laws of life or a neglect to carefully observe them. I speak from the depths of a bitter experience in saying this, and I am thankful I know the means of rt storation, and how to remain in perfect health. ” ' “Please explain more fully.” “Well, I have found a remedy which seems specially adapted for this very purpose. It is pure and palatable and controls the health and life as, I believe, nothing else wilt It is really invaluable and if all the women in America were to use it I am quite sure most of the suffering and many deaths might be avoided ”

“What is this wonderful remedy?" “Warner’s Safe Cure.” “And you use it?” “Constantly. ” “And hence believe you will be able to go through the coming season successfully?” “I am quite certain of it” “A few questions more. Miss Gi anger. Will you please give me a list of the parts you have created and the plays you nave taken part in since your first appearance in public?” “I first played for some time with the amateurs in New York and Brooklyn. I then went to the Union Square Theater for two seasons, after that to the Boston Globe for one sea on and then to Booth’s Theater in this city. Next I supported John McCullough, and afterward starred in Juliet, Cami le, Rosalind, etc. Subsequently I created the part of Cicely Blaine in The Galley Slave,’ and also starred in Two Nights in Rome,’ plaving the part of Antonia. The past year I "have been playing in The Planter’s Wife,’ and the coming season, as I have said, will be devoted to ‘Her Second Love.’ ” As the writer was returning home he fell fato a train of musing, and wondered if all she women in this land who are suffering could only know Miss Granger’s experience, and the remarkable results achieved by the pure remedy she used, how much suffering might be avoided and how much happiness secured. Telegraphy is not such a very old discovery, but it’s a Morse-grown one, nevertheless.

Buffering from a general want of tone, and its usual oonnornttanta, dyspepsia and nervousness, is seldom derivable from the use of a nourishing diet and stimuli of appetite, unaided. A medicine that will effect a removalof the specific obstacle to renewed health and vigor, that is a genuine corrective, is the real need. It is the possession of this grand requirement which makes Hostetter's Stomach Bitters m effective as an invigorant It dose not merely impart fillip to the appetiterbut by invigorating enables the stomach to Fatlsfy its w nts without bodily disturb- 1 anoe, and with thoroughness.

BLESSED BENEFACTORS. When * board of eminent physicians and chemists announced the discovery that by combining some well-known valuable remedies, the most wonderful medicine was produced, which would cure such a wide ranke of diseases that most all other remedies could be dispensed with, many were skeptical; but proof of its merby actual trial has dispelled all doubt, and to-day the discoverers of that great medicine.
