MQTHTRc Or FAMOUS MEN.
(A De sr'ptlon of the Mothers of Some
Meii of World-Wide Fume.
hYom Woman - * Argosy.
The mothers of famous men are ahvavs
Interesting studios. Concerning many of
tliose women the world knows much, hut of
rhe majority it is ignorant. The mother of
Louis Agassis, the scientist, was t.be wife of
ft, Swis% Protestant clergymen, and lived to
a vary old age. Louis was her favorite son,
nndshe trained him with the greatest care.
When, in ISoT, Prof. Silliman, of Yule
College, visited her, he found her at four
score a “tali, erect and dignified woman,”
with animated address and cultivated man
ners. When she was assured by her guest
that her son’s adopted country loved him
and was proud of him, her strong frame
was agitated, her voice trembled with emo
tion, and the flowing tears told the story of
a mother's heart. The day that Prof. Sill i
jnan left she walked a loug way in the ram
to hid him and his wife farewell. Present
ing them with a little bouquet of pansies,
sh, hade them toll her son “her pensees were
all for him.” Pensee in French means both
pains and thought. On the fiftieth birthday
of Agassiz the Saturday Club of Boston
celebrated it with a dinner, at which Long
fellow, Holmes and Lowell read poem. In
lhe poem of the former allusion was made
to the natural mother as mourning over the
fact that tho great mother,nature had drawn
Jim- son from the fireside, where she wished
to keep him:
And the mother at home says "Hark?
For his voice 1 listen and yearn;
11 is growing late and dark,
And my boy does not return.”
Agassiz’s head was bent during the read
ing of the poem, but when the allusion to
his mother Was made, bis ruddy face flushed
with restrained feeling, tears gathered in his
eyes, and as the last line was uttered they
dropped slowly down his cheeks, one after
another.
The mother of Alphonso and Ernest Dau
tiet, the French novelist, was an intellectual
woman. 81 le was a constant reader, and
her children were early impressed with her
superiority over other mothers, and were
profoundly grateful to her in afterlife for
her careful training of their minds. The
father was a rich silk weaver, and had
only an ordinary mind. Loss of for
tune soured him, and he seemed to have
little influence over his gifted sons.
But the mother was their inspiration and
delight.
The childhood of Dickens was so shad
owed by poverty and his sensitive and im
aginative mind was so keenly alive to his
position that it was hardly possible that he
could draw an absolutely impartial picture of
his parents. His mother ha t a keen apprecia
tion of the droll and of the pathetic, and
likewise considerable dramatic talent. She
was a comely little woman, with handsome
bright eyes, and a genial, agreeable person.
From her Dickens undoubtedly inherited
his temperance and intellectual gifts. She
possessed an extraordinary sense of the lu
dicrous, and her power of imitation was
something astonishing. Her perception was
quick and she unconsciously notee every
thing that came under her observation, in
describing ridiculous occurrences her tone
and gesture would be imimitable, while her
maimer was of tho quaintest, Dickens de
clared that to her lie owed his first desire
for knowledge, and his earliest passion for
reading was awakened by his mother, who
taught him not only the first rudiment of
English, but also a little of Latin. Poverty
saddened and darkened many years of h%r
life. and her children were early compelled
to leave her and earn their own living, but
they all honored and loved her as she de
served.
Leigh Hunt thus writes of liis mother:
“My mother had no accomplishments but
the two best of all—a love of nature and of
books. Dr. Franklin offered to teach her
the guitar, but she Was too bashful to be
come his pupil. She regretted this after
ward, partly, no doubt, for having so illus
trious a master. Her first child, who died,
was named after him. I know not whether
the anecdote is new, but I hav e heard that
when Dr. Franklin invented the harmonica
lie concealed it from his wife till the instru
ment was fit to play, and then woke her
with it one night, when she took it for the
music of angels. * * * Having been
born nine years later than the youngest of
my brothers, I have no recollection of my
mother’s earlier aspect. Her eyes were al
ways fine and her person ladylike; her hair
also retained its color tor a long period; but
her brown complexion had been exchanged
for a jaundiced one, which sho retained
through life: her cheeks were sunken and
her mouth draw l down with sorrow at the
corners. She retained the energy of her
character on great occasions, but her spirit
in ordinary affaire was weakened, and she
looked at the bustle and discord of the pres
ent state of society with frightened aver
sion. Never shull I forget her face, as it
appeared to me coming up the cloisters,
with that weary hang of the head on one
side aud that melancholy smile. One
holiday in a severe winter, as she was tak
ing me home, she was petitioned for charity
by a woman sick and ill clothed. It was in
Blackfrinrs road, I think a? out midway.
My mother, with tears in her eyes, turned
up a gateway or some other place, and,
beckoning tlie woman to follow, took off
her flannel petticoat and gave it to her. It
is supposed that a cold which ensued fixed
the rheumatism upon her for life. Actions
like this have doubtless been often per
formed and do not of necessity imply any
great virtue in the performer, but they do,
if they are at peace with the rest of the
character. Baints have been made for char
ities no greater.”
FINE LAND FOR PROHIBITIONIST3.
The Price of a Drink—Only the Lowest
Classes Smoke Opium.
From the Xeie York Tribune.
Count Mitkiewicz talked freely the other
evening about the recent visit to China,
dvring which he obtained his concessions
lrom the Chinese government which have
set Europe agog, and opened the way, he
thinks, for the introduction there of Amer
ican banking and railroad building, and for
ihe development of that great country on
the other side of the world, in accordance
with American ideas and systems of enter
prise.
“You must remember.” said the Count,
stroking bis handsome side-whiskers, which
are of an unusual and intense auburn,“that I
have been an American citizen for twenty
seven years. Ho you see that it is more
than a quarter of a century since I turned
my back upon Russian conservatism, and
came hero to fill my lungs with the in
spiring air of this grand country. I know
bel ter than many who were born here what
it is to be an American citizen, for I have
been compelled to see the reverse side of tho
picture. If your young men could
realize what ceiituries of bigotry, prejudice
and want of enterprise will produce in n
people, they would liavo a much higher ap
preciation of the country they are living
in. Please don’t call mo Count again. I
am uo longer the bearer of a foreign title.
When 1 took the oath of allegiance to the
constitution of the United Suites I became
plain 51 r. Mitkiewicz. When upon an er
rand of diplomacy, like tho one 1 have com
pleted in China, where I must meet nobles
slid men of State, a title is an advantage,
perhaps, but in America, with all whoso
rood opinion is worth having, it is worse
than useless. It is wholly out of date here
—obsolete, that is the word.
“Well, what kind of a man is Li Hung
Chang, you ask! Avery pleasant man,
indeed, to do business with. I do not won
dcr that Gen. Grant thought highly of him,
for he Is a well-iuformed person and a gen
tleman. I was surprised at his thorough
knowledge of the nistory of Europe. Ho
Hum Rested a wonderful acquaintance with
the various eras and reigns of the several
’■ountries as he took them up one by one.
As to this country, I could not but be aston
■'■ni'd at. his familiarity with the notable
' v *n ,R in American history. He was able
J! **Kin at its discovery by Christopher
Co.mnbus, knew all about the settlement of
the several colonies, tho revolutionary war,
tho causes of the civil war; in tact, I found
hnn as thoroughly conversant with the
salient points of American progress and de
velopment as the majority of graduates
from the colleges and universities.”
“Did you find the judicious use of cham
pagne an assistance in pushing forward
your diplomatic venture among tlie Chi
nese;'’ the Count was asked.
“No, indeed,” was tlie reply. “I did not
need such appliances. I inherited the art of
diplomacy—drank it in from my mother’s
breast, as it were. But speaking of cham
pagne, that Is something the use of which is
almost unknown to China, and tho same mav
bo said of brandy, whisky, gin, ram and all
kinds of liquor. Of course, I refer now to
the superior classes. It would lie well if the
Prohibitionists here could bring about such
an overwhelming and uiiconioronnsing dis
gust for intoxicating liquor as exists in
China. A mail who drinks brandy there is
ostracised. He is placed wholly beyond the
pale of decent association. No one trusts
him or holds any intercourse with him. He
might as well be dead.
“This is owing partly to a general distrust
of tho reliability of jH>rsons under the in
fluence of liquor. They are looked upon as
vve regard those subject to spells of insanity.
Then the cost of liquor is so great in China
in comparison with a Chinaman's earnings
that it cannot be obtained by people of or
dinary means. A man is not likoly to pay a
week’s wages for a drink of liquor. So one
who does buy it appears in tho light of a
fool, while the use ot it gives to the user a
reputation for insanity. The national senti
ment is thoroughly against it. If the pro
hibitionists and temperance advocates in
this country could materialize such a senti
ment it would be found far more powerful
than any laws lor the prevention of the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquor
that can be made.”
"How about opium smoking!”
“The sentiment is the same as to opium
with tiie better classes as in regard to liquor.
No self-respecting Chinaman would smoke
opium or use it ill any form.' 1
“When will the syndicate for which you
have obtained the concessions from the Chi
nese government begin operationsf’
“At once. There is no question about the
money. Men of capital in Paris, Berlin and
St. Petersburg are interested.”
“Is there no danger that the Chinese may
‘go back’ on their agreement with you!”
“Not in the least,” replied Count Mitkie
wicz. “If they did they would be putting
their nodes again under English heels. This
they will never do.”
THERE IS BUT ONE MOUNT SHASTA
Poetical Description of the Greatest
Mountain in America.
Gath in Cincinnati Enquirer.
Between the great pines going up you see
the religious dome of Mount Shasta, its
snows and frowns so mixed that one per
ceives it nearly with superstition.
Shasta is one of the finest mountains iu
America, a naked dome of rock, gravel, aud
perpetual snow, male by a volcano, and
having two side pieces or transepts, the
whole’mass standing up white and dun in
crazy-quilt patches of triangles of snow and
ovals of rocks, and slides of loam and gravel,
above a skirt of Oregon pines, which are of
sober green and seem the kirtle of a huge,
muscular, naked man, wearing a clout of
green as he kneels upon the plateau and sur
veys his brood of moundy peaks extending
around him iu an amphitheatre of a hun
dred miles.
There is but one Shasta, and he is a Sierri
—one of the bold range beyond the Rockies,
overlooking the Orient West. “There is the
East, there is Europe,” says the statuo of
Thomas Benton at St. Louis, pointing at
the same time West.
There is a county of California called
Shasta, and a range of mountains between
the Sacramento river aud the sea is called
the Shasta Range. It is only a night’s ride,
or a sleep of 340 miles between San Fran
cisco and Mount Shasta, and in this ride
you rise nearly 3,600 feet to Sisson, in Straw
berry Valley, from which Mount Shasta’s
peak is still 10,885 feet higher, or above the
sea 14,440 feet,
It is 10,000 feet higher than the Lick Ob
servatory on Mount Hamilton.
This is the power of Mount Shasta—that
it rises so grandly above everything else—
not like Pike’s ’or Gray's Peak, one of a
large family of mountains sitting around
the white tablo-cloth of the skies. It seems
the highest when you are at it, and looks to
be inaccessible. The railroad keeps winding
around its base as a wheelbarrow is guided
around a cathedral’s steeples. It is more
than twice the height of Mount Washing
ton, and is seven-eighths the height of Mount
Blanc.
For 2,000 feet the snow-slides drop down
its sides, frequently turning red. Then for
4.000 feet lower the inorganic mass stands
like a Vulcan among his sinders. Next for
2,000 feet encamp the firs, where once the
lava licked the world.
Yet it is only twelve miles from Sisson
on the railroad to Shasta’s top, and women
have ascended it, an i pant and grumble in
tho deed less than men. In four days
there was carried up by white men and
Indians a copper monument weighing 3,500
pounds, which can be seen 190 miles away.
But no signal officer can live on Shaita's
top. Its pimnles, 1,500 feet high, are like
the warts on Cromwell’s head when
Wars like clouds that rise against the sun,
But make him greater seem—not greater grow.
As I passed Shasta a groat white cloud
was trailing from it like a pennon, called
the “Snow-banner of Shasta.” It really
was a palpitating, cloud-like wild bird,
failing for breath as it flew, and holding
tip-toe to the peak, with its feet in snow -
drifts, while its plumage blew outward and
away.
Thero is a butte, or mountain hump near
Shasta, b.oOO feet high, but the snows, like
virgin belles at court, disdain tocoquet with
it, and keep all their flakes for Shasta. It,
too, is a fine and stuck-up thing, quite soli
tary, but theiniuers only call it Shasta Butte,
as the actors called Mr. Greono, when he
compared himself to Shakespeare, Shakes
peare’s call-boy.
Coming up to Shasta from the south by
the tortuous canon of the Sacramento, you
see the great mountain vaguely yet tremen
dous, us lo saw Jupiter in hiscloudy passion,
but going from it, northward, as the locomo
tive turns often to see it, the god stands out
naked as before bold Juno in the domesticity
of the heavens; the pasturage plains of the
Klamath stretching below him like a cover
let. pushed away.
You see him "to boa volcano put out by
snows, and our only worthy brother of the
Alps, like Monte Rosa dissected out of
them and spirited away in the Gambols of
the Titans.
The Alps too often hide in the reeking
dews of Lombardy, but Shasta is sat in a
sky that is limpid as the blue in the eyes of j
babes.
How still it is, with that great unmistak
able scar of crater a mile and a half wile,
telling where hell climbed up and vomited
its blood and fiame together drunkenly for
some m mentary spasms of thousands of
years! We have resolved that lu ll is not,
but thero is Shasta, aud somewbero must be
fire.
Glorious relic of a time when man was
not, and I’an was playing with the tools of
Vulcan, the molten waste of Shasta ran
away, spilling westward into a range of
mountains, each spattering up to be like
Shasta’s self, hut making only tame minia
tures of it.
“Fire-proof Paper May be Made,”
says a scientific exchange, “front a pulp,
consisting of one part vegetable fibre, two
parts asbestos, one-tenth part borax and
ono-flfth part a:tun." It is a pity thnt such
facts as toe one following cannot be writ
ten, printed or otherwise preserved, upon
some sort of indestructible papers “My
wife suffered seven years and was best
ridden, too,” salt! W. E. Hueetis, of Em
poria, Kansas, "a number of physicians
failed to help her. I)r. Pierce's ’Golden Mist
ical Discovery’ cured her.” AU druggists
sell this remedy. Everybody ought to keep
it, It only needs a trial.

See what Dr. B. S. Pinsr, says about them:
ifrttn. Cornwall rf Chi'pinon :
Gents—The Range and Baltimore Heaters
placed by your firm in my residence are giving
satisfaction.
The Range Is perfect (n its workings, and iu
addition beat* the diningroom and chamber
aliove.
With the Heaters I ran warm either of the
rooms above that which the Heater is in, and
with less fuel than I could one room with an
open grate. I believe that the saving in fuel
will soon repay one for their co.,f. without
speaking of their cleanliness and convenience.
1 take pleasure in recommending your firm to
all who wish anything In that line.
Truly yours,
B. S, PURSE.
