This is the nature of the Esquire. A class of people are habitually called plain "Mr." in ordinary talk who would be gre-itly offended if their letters were so addressed. I am not speak- ing of those who claim a higher adjective description I mean those who are spoken of as "Mr. A. B.," but who, in any formal description, from the address of a letter up- ward, must be described as "A. B., Esj[." In itself, Esquire, like Knight, is a title, if not of office, of something very like office and it would not have been wonderful if it had bfen usual to call men "Knight A." and " Esquire B." But "Knight A." seems never to have been in use atui "Esquire," or rather "Esquiie B.," can htfdly be said to have ever been in polite use. Men like Hampden, who would have ranked as nobles anywhere out ot the British kingdom, were simply "Mr. Hampden," and the like. To be sure, " Mr." was more of a distinct thl^ than it is now. I have seen somewhere in the early records of a New England col- ony an order, in which, among other pains and penalties decreed against a certain man, it is forbidden to speak to him aay longer as "Mr." Possibly, though used to be spoken of as "Mr.," he did not hold the technical rank of "Esquire." For "Esquire" is a technical rank, as much as Earl or Knight and one odd thing is when the word, in a contracted shape, is put before a name, it means something different from that technical rank. Many people put "Esq." after their names, not by mere assumption or conven- tionality, but of perfect right, to whom no living soul would ever thiuK of tacking on " 'Squire" before their names. " 'Squire A." marks a position which, if not strictly official, certainly comes very near to it â€" a position which is not held by all who are described as esquires even by strict formal right. â€" E. A. Freeman in Longman's Maga- zine. An Oregon Hunting Story. Last week while a gentleman was out hunting in the woods near Hardy EliS^s place he shot a deer, which ran into the woods, and he was unable to find it. A day or two after Mr. Walker found where the deer had been dragged for some distance and partially devoured by a bear. He pro- cured a steel trap and set it. The next morning he went to the place and found the trap gone. Young Mr. Bliff went back with him to the place and put the dogs on the trail. They had not proceeded far before they found the pole hanging from the forks of a tree, with the chain and trap on the other side, with the hind foot and tendons of the leg of a monster bear. The dog went a short distance further and commenced baying. Mr, Eliff went to where they were and shot a large female panther out of a tree, which he and the dogs soon killed. A young dog went back into the bush, and commenc- ed barking. They went to the place and found two young panthers about half as large as a full grown cat, which they took to Mr. Ella's house. The strangest part of the story is that an old cat with some young kit- tens adopted the young panthers and nurses them. Mr. Eliff informs us that it is amus- ing to see the old cat lug the young whelps up a flight of stairs and put them to bed m the garret. The Yukon Klver. Lieut, fchwatka, who with his party was picked up by Lieut. Kay, speaking of his trip up the Yukon River, Alaska, says they travelled overland to the head waters of the livw, and constructed a raft to navigate the stream to its mouth. They procured a crew of six Indians, and proceeded within 2o miles of Fort Cheloat, when the rapids were encountered. The Indians refused to go on, and attempted to force the raft ashore. Schwatka, to suppress the mutiny, fired on the Indians killing three. The othOT sub- mitted and the rapids were run. The voy- aee was 1,829 miles from the month of the Yukon. Schwatka claims to have been farther up the Yukon than any other white man. Signal Service officer Leavitt says he ascended «he Yukon to Fort Selkirk, 2,000 nules. He describes the river as one of the largest in the world, disoharguig 50 per ceiTt., more water than the Masueippi, and »t places seven miles in breadth. WTsic iui» in While orthodox Christians in this ooontry vwy seoenlty frown on the stage and all Its belongings, it is not to be diagniaed that the prejudice against actors and tbeatarea is not as marked as it was, say, twenty years ago. One of the moat beantifnl and socoess- fnl theatres in New York is owned by a couple ot clei^jrman who are also proprie- tors of the Churchman, the official organ of the Episcopal denomination. The Eev. Robert Colyer and other liberal, as well ab Episcopal, clergymen openly visit the New lork theatres and no scandal is caused thereby. In England the Bishop and clerey- men of the national church attend operas and theatres the same as other people but more remarkable than all, the Vhrittian World, the leading London organ of the Nonconformists, recently contained a lead- ing editorial, giving Mr. Henry Irving a "Godspeed," apropos of his departure to America. Mr. George Macdonald, the English novelist, is a clergyman, yst he fre- quently appears as an amateur actor on semi-public occasions. The theatre is grow- ing in popularity in this country. A large space is given to dranriatic news in all our journals. It is for Christian people to say what course they shall pursue in tne future. It is idle to ignore the stage or to condemn it by wholesak. After all, why not try and moralize it and irte it from objectionable associations â€" Demorest'a Magazine. The refusal of Maggie Mitehell to play on Sunday night in CSucinnati sets a good ex- ample to other stars. A day and night of rest are needed by professionals as well at other people, and it is unfair that they should be expected by the people of West- ern cities to act without cessation during their engegements in that section. Entirely aside from a question of morality or piety, we believe that Sunday should be set apart by the profession as a time for recuperation after the work of the \roek. Fanny Davenport's new p'ay " Fedora," is pronounced one of the strongest dramas that have been produced in New York, and the star has made a complete success in the title role. Robert Mantel, her leading sup- port, has made a great hit as ' ' Louvis Ipan- of," "Fedora's" lover. The Birmingham (England Gazeite- says " Miss Minnie Palmer's manner, quaintly humorous as it always is, is withal ao natu- ral and spontaneous that it never seems forced or strained, but to be the natural out- come of a nature overflowing with animal spirits." " How does Henry Irving compare with Booth " was asked uf Dion Boucicault by a Kansas City reporter the other day, and the veteran replied :â€"" You can't compare them one is brandy and the other is cham- pagne. Mrs. Zelda Sequin Wallace, well known upon the operatic stage, proposes to appear next season as an actress in a new version of "Oliver Twist," and a translation of the French play, "TheBjyhood of Richelieu." Sarah Bernhardt claims that she got mar- ried because matrimony was the only thing in life that she had left untried. After her marriage she indulged in divorce for the novelty of the thing. â€" ' -^ â€" I » A Word to the Boys. Water is the strongest drink. It drives mills it 's the drink ot lions and horse s, and Samson never drank anything else. Let youDg men be teetotalers if only for econo- my's sake. The beer money will soon build a house. If what goes into the mash-tub went into the kneading trough, families would be better fed and better taught. If what is spent in waste were only saved against a rainy day, poorhouses would never be built. The man who spends his money with the publican, and thinks the landlord's bow and "How do ye do, my good fellow?" mean true respect, is a perfect simpleton. We don't light fires for the herring's com- fort, but to roast him. Men do not keep pot- bouses for laborers' good if they do, they certainly miss their aim. Why, then, should people drink " for the good of the house " If 1 spend money for the good of ths house let it be my own, and not the land- lord's. It is a bad well into which you must put water and the beer house is a bad friend, because it takes your all and leaves you nothing but headaches. He who calls those his friends who let him sit and drink by the hour together is ignorant â€" very ignorant. Why, red lions, and tigers, and eagles, and vultures are all creatures of prey, and why do so many put themselves within the power of their jaws and talons Sucn as drink and live riotously, and wonder why their faces are so blotehy and their pockets so bare, would leave off wondering if they had two grains of wisdom.
