HALE BROS- & CO.,
So much 1 so that standing room at times was at a premium. ; The
simple announcement of the IMMENSE j STOCK that was to be

such a commercial panic. A word with reference to the House of

We owe to man higher succors than food
and tire. We owe to man man. — [Domes
tic Life.
Nature is a rag-merchant, wko works up
every shred and odd and end into new
creations. [Beauty.
But the people are to be taken in very
small doses. If solitude is proud, so is
society vulgar. — [Society and Solitude.
- One of those conceited prigs who value
nature only as it feeds and exhibits them
is equally a pest with the roysterers. —
[Poetry and Imagination.
Wherever there is power there is age.
Don't be deceived by dimples and curls. I
tell you that a baby is a thousand years
old.— [Old Age.
The man that works at home helps so
ciety at large with somewhat more of cer
tainty than he who devotes himself to chari
ties. — [Farming.
The truest test of civilization is not the
census, nor the size of cities, nor the crops
— no, but the kind of man the country
turns out.— [Civilization.
Every man is not so much a workman in
the world as he is a suggestion of that he
should be. Men walk as prophesies of the
next age. — [Circles. _i . -..i 7-:. ■ -\
Nature is upheld by antagonism. Pas
sions, resistance, danger, are educators.
We acquire the strength we have over
come.—[Considerations by the Way.'
, Every genuine work of art has as much
reason for being as the earth and the sun.
The gayest charm of beauty has a root in
the constitution of things.—
His tongue was framed to music,
And his hand was armed with skill, '
His face was the mold of beauty.
And his heart was the throne of will.
' - " —{Power.
The less government we have the better —
the fewer laws and the less confided power.
The antidote to this abuse of 'formal gov
ernment is the influence of private charac
ter, the growth of the individual. — [Pol
itics. "-' ■ '--.*'■ -''rr- ■' -■ ■ ' :.'■.-
No way has ' been found for making
heroism easy, even for the scholar. Labor,
iron labor, is for him. The world was
created a? an audience for him ; the atoms
of which it is made are opportunities. —
[Greatness.
. Our efficiency depends so much upon our
concentration that nature, usually, in the
instances where a marked man is sent into
the world, overloads him with bias, sacri
ficing his symmetry to his working power.
— [Culture. •' ■ . :.- ';' ,..; ;...;•
The high prize of life, the crowning for
tune of a man, is to be born to some pur
suit which finds him in employment and
happiness— whether it be to make baskets
or broadswords, or canals, or statutes, or
songs. — [Considerations by the Way.
Life is a succession of lessons which
must be lived to be understood. . All is a

j A young third secretary in the diplo

Profound thought by middle-aged man :
In the life of man there are two critical
periods. The first is towards his twentieth
year, when he anxiously inspects his upper
lip to see if the hair is coming out ; and
the second is toward his fortieth, when he
as anxiously inspects the top of bis head
to see if his hair is coming out.

College Professor — "And so, gentlemen,
we are reminded of the familiar fable in
which the milkmaid upsets the pail of
milk— what is it, Mr. Blank?" Mr. Blank
— " I beg your pardon, Professor, but how
would it have been, supposing it had been
the pot of milk that had upset the milk
maid !" Immense hilarity and applause,
during which the voice of the - Professor
can barely be heard suspending the entire
class.
- The lamented Ponson dv Terrail was al
ways supposed to have produced a master
piece of its own kind and unapproachable, !
when he remarked of a character : ' " She !
took his hand. .It was cold and clammy
like that of a serpent," but he has been
outdone by a reactionary journalist in
Paris, who has been tracing a picture of M.
Gambetta and his friends. "M. puller."
says this writer, "is the alltr ego of M.
Gambetta, who, indeed, has no eyes of his
own but looks only through his right arm 1".
A performance \of "Lea Exiles" was :
given at Amiens not long ago, at which be- '
tween the sixth aud seventh tableaas the ,
manager came before the curtain, and deliv
ered the following reassuring address to the
audience : "Ladies and gentlemen, we are
now about to present the sensation scene of
this successful piece, j You will now have
the pleasure of seeing a terrible conflagra- j
tion on the stage ; but, ladies and gentle
men, do not be alarmed — it's only make
believe. There is no occasion for any panic. " ,
The remark is hazarded before a true ion
of Marseilles that, in comparison with the
ocean, the Mediterranean is a placid and
calm expanse of water. " Placid and calm 1"
echoes the southern patriot ;. " that's all
you know about the Mediterranean. I'll
tell you what happened me once. I was
coming to Paris, and I brought a bottle of
Mediterranean water with mc l always
carry it - with me to think of horne — and
I'll be hanged, sir, if the moment I entered
the car every man jack in it wasn't seasick.
And they were old sailors, too. That's
how calm and placid the Mediterranean is,
sir." ; ■ ••■
POOR BERNHARDT.
Poor Madame Damala, or Damalas (the !
sensational press prints columns daily as to ,
the orthography of the name of Sarah ;
Bernhardt's new husband) is threatened :
with a lawsuit, which is said to lie rich in
I revelations and in trouble for Sarah. All '
| her old comrades seem thoroughly angry ;
I with her because she has taken unto her- <
I self a helpmeet. They began by question- j
| ing the validity of the marriage in London,
i and now they are endeavoring to prove •
; that she has merely gratified a caprice, and
that she will cast Monsieur Damala, or Da
malas, aside in less than a year. But to
1 careful observers it looks as if | the eccen
[ trie actress was really in love with her ;
. husband. j She began by discharging him
from her company, in which he was play- :
! ing ordinary parts, because be had been '
' imprudent enough to go to a fox hunt in
Rome and to get thrown from his horse,
and because he rebelled at her merriment
over the unfortunate circumstance. He
went, and she was as inconsolable as Dido
after the departure of .Eneas. At Naples !
she had a most extraordinary series of ;
1 nervous attacks, and some of them lasted t
several hours. These did not cease until
j she reached Monaco, where the wily actor ;
> waa staying, and where she made peace
i with him, and agreed to marry him forth
! with. The marriage was, it is said, re
] solved upon at 4 o'clock one afternoon, and I
1 the next morning at 6 o'clock Ssrah aud M. '
1 Damala took the express train from Mo- i
: naco for London. 'It doea not appear that I
: the bridegroom is the possessor of a large ;
fortune, and we hear that Sarah's son '
Maurice is enraged at his mother's matri
monial venture, and has threatened never I
I to see her again ao long " as she lives with
that man." — [Paris Correspondent.
The Revised New Testament.—
feasor Blackie expresses hi* opinion con
cerning the Revised Vernon of the New
Testament with Scotch emphasis. ' "On
the whole," he says, " while those who are
ignorant of Greek may here and there de
rive a useful hint from the photographic
minuteness with which the authors of the
Revised Version have transferred some in
different details ,of the original into Eng
lish, it is in the highest degree undesirable
that a version so marked by minute scru
pulosity about trifles, servile verbalism,
want of taste and disregard of I English
idiom should be allowed to take the place
which the Authorized Version has so long
occupied in the estimation of all educated

MARKING MARINE MONSTERS.
The ; Grapfao-M-Optlcon —IU Marvelous
Possibilities- tainted Seals.
We have had such charming weather of
late that everybody and his wife is going to
the Cliff. ■ The atmosphere is just sufficiently
humid to serve as a sort of emollient for
cuticles frayed by our summer winds, and
the life-giving rays of the sun permeate space
like a benuon from the Giver of all Good.
Lite lingering tourists have found a climatic
bonanza, and we know of several Englishmen
at our leading hotels, who, on this account,
are loth to leave us for the pea-soup fogs,
the wintry sleet and pelting rains of their
tight little island. Our wealthy British
cousins whose only object in life is enjoyment,
are to be commended for this, for remaining
where the atmospheric condition is so per
fect as it is rat present on the peninsula of
San Francisco. They ore making the moat
of it. Two of these murh-to-be-envied indi
viduals had an unexpected adventure the
other day, which it is well enough to relate
in detail. We call our friends Burroughs
and Brown, sons of Manchester wealthy men
who had chummed for a tour of the world,
and, with youtb, health and unlimited money,
they were pattern "globe trotters," Dawdling
over breakfast at the Palace one morning,
Burroughs throwing down the Call, said,
with sudden earnestness, as if he had dis
c red a new sensation.
"Cliff to-day?" >■.-_!.' -■*.-■ -'.. -
* " Why the Cliff?'' returned Brown, delib
erately cracking the end of his third egg (your
Englishman always eats his egg direct from
the shell). " Why go to the Cliff I We are
asked to go dawn to somebody's place at
Menlo," you know. I believe they call ;it
Menlo." - .... .. : -..,. ,-.: :
"' '.' Aw, yes ; I remember ; but we can turn
that up for the present, if you like: I've
been reading in this paper - that the Cliff is
delightful just now, and that the seals, taking
advantage of the warm weather, are swarming
over the rocks to bask in the sun. We're
never had a good look at the beggars, and I
would like to do so before we leave. Let's go
to-day, and we'll catch 'em all out." '
- "Oh, I "don't mind," assented Brown.
"I'm agieed. Here, waiter, have a team
brought round from the nearest livery, and
fetch us a go of brandy in the meantime." I
They discussed the cognac leisurely, and
juat as Burroughs was remarking on the ex
cellent quality of the tipple the blasted Amer
icans furnish, the waiter reported. '■,' ' <) s
"Horses all ready, sir."
' " Aw ! send to Nos. 46 and 48 for our over
coats and driving gloves. Look sharp about
it, for I want to get there before the crowd
comes. I 'ate a crowd. 'Ere's your tip."
Then the two B's sauntered out into the
patio, the slender, light-brown Villars they
had lighted tracking their way with perfume.
They admired the horses, as only Englishmen
can. Clean-limbed, supple-jointed, velvety
skinned animals they were, ' tossing their
heads proudly, and sniffing this fresh air with
quivering nostrils as a connoisseur inhales the
faint bouquet of a fine wine.' «-<■>■» r
"All ready?" asked Burroughs, when the
needed garments were brought. "I'll take
the ribbons."
• " Right you are," paid Brown "but hold
'em 'ard, old man. They look skittish."
The drive to the Cliff was an exhilaration.
Brown had his wish in not finding the place
crowded. It was too early for the rush. Fos
ter, mine host, was there radiant in manner
and jovial as usual. Otherwise, bald, blar
neying and benevolent, sb became the keeper
of the locus si'jillum— the Place of the Seal,
as Charley Webb once facetiously called the
Cliff House. The scene was health-giving,
life-inspiring. Away to the west old Ocean
stretched as smooth as a lake, and the white
winged ships were slipping down the horizon's
verge, bearing the products of California to
every quarter of the globe. Old Pacificus
was as smiling as if it had never been guilty
of a treacherous act, never stranded a ship
nor drowned a sailor. Burroughs, who af
fected poetry, and quoted Byron occasionally,
was moved from his insular poaaivity at the
sight, and broke out into a verse of the Childe's
Apostrophe::
" And I have loved thee, Ocean ! and my Joy
Of youthful sports was on thy breast te be
Borne, like thy bubbles, onward ; from a boy
I wantoned with thy breakers -they to me
Were a delight; and if the freshening sea ' •
Made them a terror— 'twas a pleasing fear, .
Fur I was, as it were, a child of thee
And trusted to thy billows far and near .
And laid my hand upon thy mane, as I do here."
• " Oh, r come, I say, stop that," growled
Brown; "hand me your glass. I want to
take a good long look at the sea lions. Eh !
there's a rousing lot of 'em." ,
It was a splendid morning for the phoca.
Tbey were out in force ; and like magnified
leeches, wrigglad up the .creviced cliffs in
■very direction. Huge fellows, some of them,
that might weigh half a ton and over, and
cubs that you could carry away in the pocket
of an ulster. I Every glass on the balcony was
directed toward the interesting sight. Sud
denly a gigantic specimen emerged from the
ocean and fiippered himself up to a rocky
bench
"'Pears to me, lisped a young lady —
same who had rapped applause with her para
sol at Burroughs recitation " 'pears to ma
that one is different from the others. Seems
to be marked.". ,
' "God bless my soul," exclaimed an elderly
gentleman, her father, after vigorously rub
bing and carefully readjusting the lenses of
his glass, "if I did not know it was impossi
ble, I should say that seal had letters marked
on his pelt." There were half-suppressed ex
clamations from the few present. . -
Brown was silen f . Bat he was looking
earnestly at tbe animal. Finally he handed
the binocular to Burroughs with the remark.
Tell me what you think of it. I'm beat."
Burroughs, ia his turn, riveted his gaze on
the huge body of the sea lion, as he turned
himself in the sun.
"By Jove, but it's curious, you know. I
swear I can make out an S and a J — and, Ist
me look again— and an O. There's
another fellow coming up out of the water—
big fellow — he seems to be marked or
lettered, too. I think my eyes are all right,
and the glass is A One Holland's of Lon
don, you know. I can't bs deceived, But I
must say it's, strange." . ..-.',
"Lets go and seethe landlord," suggested
Brown.
After a glass of " Bitter," Brown said to
Foster, "Landlord, whit's the matter with
the seals over yonder Have you been brand
ing them?" -■..,,
"Tut,", replied Foster, sententiously ;
" they're old bulls, I suppose, torn in a fight.
They get horribly chawed up, sometimes."
" Oh, is that it ?'' said Brown, drawing a
deep breath. " 1 must be the victim of an
optical Illusion. Let's go back to the balcony
and have another look."
- Meanwhile, an animated debate . was -in
progress on the outside. A positive-minded
German, who held a glass of more than
average power In his hand, and who conld
not be reasoned from the evidences of his
senses, insisted that be had readily made out
the letters on the bodies of both the seals,
and they read nothing more. nor less than
" St. Jacob* Oil." The rest of the company
win laughing at and pooh-poohing him ; hut
Brown said quietly to Burroughs, " I made
out the same word/, you know, but hang me,
if I liked to say so. I didn't care to be
laughed at, although I could well afford to,
because St. Jacobs Oil cured my rheumatism
contracted during our buffalo hunt in Wyo
ming last season.
Just 'then a serious, honest-looking man
approached our English tourist", and re
marked: "Gentlemen, I think I can explain
this apparent mystery. Yesterday morning,
quite early, when I was out here enjoying
the fresh sir quietly, a party of three persons
arrived from the city, and after nuking a
reconnoiasance and finding the coast clear,
they took an oddly-formed instrument from
their buggy, which they sat up In that corner
and adjusted with a good deal of care. It
was shaped somewhat like a photographer's
camera, but with more complicated machin
ery. They seemed jealous of observation, an
I did not intrude myself on them at first, and
only noted their operations from a distance.
They were evidently testing their queer ma
chine by a series of experiments, with more or
leas success. I observed that when they
directed the projecting tubes of the apparatus
toward any object, making a focus, I suppose,
there was always a commotion at that point.
For example, a Whitehall boat, polled by a
couple of men, happened to {.ass at the time.
It was made an object. The rowers suddenly
unshipped their oars and crawled under the
thwartr, as if to escape an attack. When
the instrument was turned in another direc
tion, they reappeared, and after comparing
notes and finding they had suffered no per
sonal injury, stood up in the boat and cursed
vigorously. We were in plain view from the
platform — machine and all. A pilot-boat
ting out of the Heads was also brought
under the influence, and I saw the man at
the wheel squirm as if in pain, and call op
some one from below, who evidently repeated
his experience. I noticed, further, that a
strange sort of light flickered over and about
the object toward which the tube* were di
rected ; it was quite visible, although the sun
was shining brightly. Alter several tach
tests, one cf the experimenters said : " Now,
then, for the seals." There were not many
on the rocks at the time, but there were
two or three large ones among tba number.
The man who appeared to have principal di
rection of the machine produced a placard
a St. Jacobs Oil placard and fitted it in a
sort 'of slide attached jto I the apparatus.
Selecting the largest animal in the group of
sea lions as the object, ha sighted the tube,
then moved a lever, as he had done before,
! that set some bidden machinery in motion.
The effect was almost instantaneous. The
sea lion roused himself, gave a sudden roar,
leaped into the ocean, and was out of sight at
, once. -" I think he's marked." said the oper

was repeated on another sleepy monsler, an 1
he rolled down the side of the cliff in a hurry,
barking as if in pain. But by this time it
would seem the animals had taken alarm, for
they left the rocks in short order. There was
a good deal of congratulation among the
party as they discussed the effect of the
operations of the apparatus, while they were
carefully covering it in order to return to the
city. I ventured tn approach and to ask
one of them the nature and ures of the in
strument : but I received at first only evasive
replies. My curiosity was evidently out of
place. Finally one of the parties said: "My
friend, this is a recent invention, that has
cost no end of time and trouble, and which
has been secured by the house of A. "Vogeler
4 Co., of Baltimore, Md., the proprietors of
St. Jacobs. Oil, at an expense of $200,000.

nature of its operations must remain a
secret at present, as its possibilities are yet .
greater than what yon have seen to-day.

gTeat remedy known all over the United

think, therefore, gentlemen," concluded the
serious, honest-looking man, "the lions
that have excited your wonder are those
marked yesterday in the . strange manner I
have described." : Wonders will never cease.

Brown and Burroughs did not talk much
on their way back to the city. They seamed
puzzled by what they had seen.
" Brown," said Burroughs, at last, as they
turned out of the Park gates, " what do you
think of this business, anyway ? Do yon be
lieve thai smooth-talking fellow's story ?"....
"I'm blessed if I know what to say," re

A Tranquil Nervous System

nerves. To restore vigor and quietude to the
latter, the first must be Invigorated and regu

the nerves for a while, but they can never
like Hoatetter's Stomach Bitters, remove the
causes of nervous debility. - That superb in

digestion and assimilation, draw strength
from the fund of vitality developed in the
system by the Bitters, which imparts the re

the stomach, - enriches the circulation, and
gives tone and regularity to tba secretive and
