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. THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1887. CHEAP ADVERTISING. ONE CENT A WORD.
