TIONESTA,
MARK TWAIN'S ACCOUNT OF
HIS FIRST LECTURE.
I was home again, in San Francisco,
without means anrl without employ
ment. I tortured tny brain for a sav
ing scheme of some k ml, and at lusts
tiuhlic lecture occurred to me. I eat
down aud wrote one in a fever of an
ticipation. I showed it to several
friends, hut they all shook their head.
They said nobody would come to hear
me, and 1 would make a numiiiatiug
failure of it. They said that as 1 had
never spoken in public I would break
down in the deliveiy, anyhow I was .
disconsolate now. But at last an edi
tor slapped me on the back ami told
me to "go ahead." lie Baid, "Take
the largest house in town, uiel charge
a dollar a ticket." The audacity of
the proposition was charming ; it seem
ed fraught with practical worldly wis
dom, however. The proprietor of the
several theatres endorsed the advice,
and said 1 might have his handsome
new opera house at half price fifty
dollars. In sheer desperai ion I took
it ou credit, for sufficient reasons. In
three days 1 tint a hundred and fifty
dollars worth of printing aud ad vert is
nig, ami was the most distressed ami
frigiiteiied creature on the Pacific
coast. 1 could not sleep who couiu
under i-ucli circumstances? I or oilier
people there was facetoitsness in the
Hue of my poolers, but to tne it was
plaintive with a pang when 1 wrote it :
"Doors open at 7 oeloek. The
troub.e will beegin at 8."
That line has done good service
si lice. 1 nave sect! it appemieu iu n
newspaper advertisement, reminding
school pupiU in vacation what time
next term would begin. As those three
lays of suspense l ragged by I grew
more and more unhappy, i nan sohi
200 tickets among my personal friends
but I feared they might not come.
Mv lecture, wl'ich had seemed 'humor
ous' to me at first, grew steadily more
and more dreary, till uot a vestige of
fun seemed leli, and 1 grieved that 1
could not bring a coffin on the stage
aud turn the thing into a tuneral. 1
was so panic-stricken at last that i
weut to three old frien Is, giants in
stature, cordial by nature, and stormy
Voiced, alb. said :
'This thing is going to be a failure;
the jokes are su dim that nobody will
ever see them. I would like to have
you sit in the partjuette aud help tne
through."
They said they would. Then I went
to the wire of a popular citizen, and
said that if she were willing to mi me
a very great kindness I would be glad
ifshe and her husband would sit prom
inently in the left hand stage-box,
where the whole house could see them.
I explained to her that I should need
help, and would turn toward her and
smile, as a signal, when I had been
delivered of an obscure joke -"and
then," I answered, "don't wait to in
vestigate, but respond !"
She protnii-etl. Down the street I
met a man 1 had never seen before.
He had been drinkiug, and win beam
ing v ith smiles aud good nature. He
said :
"My name is Sawyer, iou don t
know me, but llat don t matter. 1
haven t got a cetit, but if you knew
how bad I wanted to laugh, you'd give
me a ticket. Come, now, w hat do you
sav t"
"Is votir laugh hung on a hair trig
ger? that is, is it critical, or can it
get off easy ?"
My drawing in firmityof speech so
affected hnu that he laughed a epeci-
meu or two that suruck mo as heing
about the article I wanted, aud I gave
hnu a ticket, ami appointed him to sit
iu the secoiid circle in the centre aud
be responsible for that division of the
house. 1 gave him minute instructions
about how to detect indistinct jokes,
aud then went away and left hnu
chuckling placidly over the uovelty of
the idi a.
I ate nothing on the last three event
ful days--I only suffered. I hud ad
vertised that on t he third duy the office
would be opened for the sale of reserv
ed scats. I crept down to the theatre
al 4 o'clock in the afternoon to tee if
any sales bail been made. The ticket
seller was gone, the box-ofiice was lock
ed up. 1 buJ to swallow suddenly or
my heart would have got out. "No
sales," 1 said to myself. I might have
known it. I thought of suicide pre
tended illness, flight. I thought of
theiie things in earnest, for I was very
miserable and scared. Iiut of course
I had to drive them away and prepare
to meet my tate. 1 could not wait for
half-past seven ; I wauled to face the
horror and eud it the Iceliugof many
a mail doomed to be hung, no doubt.
I weut down a back street at six
o'clock, aud entered the theatre by the
Lace dour. I stumbled my way in the
dark atuoug the ranks ot canvass si-en
ety ami stood ou the stage. The house
was gloomy and silent, and its empti
ness depressing. I went into the dark
among the scenes agiiin, aud for an
hour ami a half gave myself up to the
l'.orror, wholly unconscious of every
thiug else. Then I heard a murmur ;
it rose higher and higher, and ended
in a clash.- nliiiL'Icd with chetrs. It
made my hair rise, it was so close to

1 recognized the character and the
friendliness in the fncos before me. and
little by little my fright melted away,
and I liecan to talk. Within three or
.four minutes I was comfortable and
even content. My t hief allies, with
tnree auxiliaries, were iuiy on mum

all armed with hludkenns, and all

looming redly in the centre of the cir
t ic, took it ttt) and the house was car
ried lmnd-'omely. Inferior jokes never
fared so royally before. Presently I
delivered a bit of serious matter with
impressive unction, (it wis my pet),
ami the audience listened with an an
sorbed hush that gratified me more
than any applause. As I dropped tin
last word of the clause 1 happened to
turn and catch Mrs. s intent and
waiting eye ; my conversation with her
fluhe.l upon me, and in spite ot all I
could do I smiled. he took it for the
signal, and promptly delivered a mel
low latiirh that touched off the whole
audience, and the explosion that fol
lowed was the triumph ot the evening!
I thought that honest man Sawyer
would choke himself; and as for the
blu IgeoiiH, they performed like pile
drivers, iiut my poor little morsel ol
pathos was ruined. It was taketi in
good faith as an intentional joke, and
the prize oneot the entertainment, and
1 wisely let it go at that.
All the papers were kind in the
morning; my appetite returned ; I had
anuiidanee ol money. "All 8 well that

A Wcnde M Set of Chessmen.
There is now on exhibition, at No,
48 South Dcsplaints street, a set o
chefHUH-ii, made by a Chinese expert
something like those ot halt a cento
rv B2o. They are curved by hand
from the finest tiuulity of soli. I ivorv
and are colored in white and red. The
work of cutting them out occupied al
most a life-lime, being entirely accom
pushed by one man. 1 heir size
is
somewhat collos-sal, the ".Kings" being
about nine niches m height, and the
"l awns nearly five. 1 lie latter ure
mounted, and the "Castles" are the
ancient elephants. The "Bishops"
stand out as priests ot Confucius, am
the "Kinirs" and "Queens" are Chinese
Emperors ami Empresses. The beau
ty of the whoir, however, is the d
cate and exquisite carving, every
feature, every piece ot drapery, hav
iiiir the most elegant aud elaborate fin
ish. Eucu piece stands upon a ball
rest in i: on a pedestal. Within this
ball are other and smaller ones, ull
cu inside from the solid ivorv, am
all carved in the same manner us the
one surrounding them. These arc per
forated with holes cut after the form of
sta.s and circular saws. Within the
ball at the base of the "Kings," there
are seven smaller ones, carved within
euch other, and it would be impo-sible
to get either of them out without
breaking. Each bears a sword loose
in its scabbard, and each is in three
pieces, and can be easily taken apart
These men were first brought to the
notice of Lord Elgin, Ambassador from
England to the Chinese Court, and
who purchased them for 100 guineas.
Afterwards when Iord Elgin wusOov
emor General of India, they were pur
chased (twenty-five years since) by a
wealthy American gentleman, uml
have never before been publicly ex
hibited. They are now valued at
about $1,000. To-day they are utidoubt
edly the greatest articles of curiostn
in the city, aud all interested are in-
vited to call and see them. C lucarjo

A story illustrative of the way in
which revolutions are got up in South
America is told by the Anglo Brazil
ian Times: Three or four years ago,
ud Aigciiline second lieuieuuiit made
a "prouuhciamciito" hi the city of Cor
rieutes, but was beaten and captured.
At his court martial he was asked,
"What post hud you iu the affair?"
"I wus cc m ma udcr in-chief of all the
infantry of the revolution." 'How
many men had that iiiluuiry ?' "Seven
men," replied the cuiuiiiuuder-iu chief.
A huni'sonie young gentleman walk
ed into the Adams Express office the
other day, and desired to express .a
package of letters to a lady, to whom he
desired to return them. "What are they
woith?" asked the clerk, who in mak
ing out his account, desired to know
what was the risk. The young gen
tleman heslitated a moment, theii
clearing his throat from a certain

The story, with its application, so far

the human heart old; and the pure

Amos Dultnn, at the age of nine
teen, left his home in Vermont and
came to Itosiou. His parents
were
both dead, aud he hud hten left peuni-
less: but by hard work; ami by close '
application to every cnauce that be
ould grasp, he succeeded in gaining
a good common sen ol educatiou, be-
smes supporting himself and helping
a twin sister. At length his sister
married, and he resolved to seek his
fortune iu the city. He yearned for a
broader add better field of action than
wus open to him in his faraway home,
ami having obtained recommendations
as to his character mid habits from
two or three prominent men, he set i
forth. I
Never mind the youth's initiatory
struggles. A less resolute will might
huve tailed, iiusiuess wus dull, and
good men were being discharged iu
nearly all the departments ci business.
finally Amos Dutton entered the
warehouse of Andrew hear, on Milk
rtreet, aud asked lor employment. He
was willing to perform auy labor, how
ever menial, so that it was honorable,
and would hot debar hnu from rising
bv merit.
Mr. Sears liked the appearance of
the youth, and he was willing to au-

Duttoii took back his comineudato-
ry documents, which had by this time
become weil worn, aud having thank
ed the inerchuut fur his kindness, turn
ed to depart.
"that lud bus the qualities ot a
geutlemun, at all events," suid Mr.
Sears, to himself, as the applicant's
huudaoine, pieusaiit face was turned
from him.
The entrance to the counting-house
was by a narrow court, aud as Duttoii
was passing out he saw a glittering ob
ject upon the paveiueiit. He pucked
it up and found it to be a bosom-pin
au emerald, set iu gold. He turned
back and re-entered the office, and
handed the jewel to Mr. bears, simply
remarking that le hud Ittund it iu tue
court, anil that the owner would be
likely to call there in his ijueot for it.
1 he inerchuut look the pin aud suid
he thought he knew to whom it be
longed, aud would See lliul it was re
turned to its properowuer; aud, with
out waiting for tnuiiks or praise, the
youth uguiu departed.
Mr. sears hud seen the young mau
pick up the vaiuubie jewel, and i.ad par
ticularly holed his movements iu the
I matter. There had been no hesiialioii
no casting about ot the eyes to see
if he was observed but the instinct
lo do right seemed to be iu him ; and
the inerchuut said to liiumelt, "Hie
boy is certainly holiest."
After this the mel'cliaut put oil his
hut to g t out.
A in os Duttoii, on his way down the
court, did uot find another jewel, but
wneil he reached the street lie found a
man in trouble. Au old tiegro, who

Dutton saw, and he hastened to the
assistance of the negro, as be would
have hastened to ussist a blot her.
"Hold on !" he cheerily cried, "unj
let help you."
The youth was as strong in muscle
as he wus willing, und very sooti ll. e
bale wus iu its place, aud with a pro
lusion of thanks the old Airicuti w..ul

Mr. Stars hud reuched the door ot

self: "This youth has a strong hand und
a willing one. The time may come

Their virtues ure worthily extolled,

rooms thus furnished and decorated
with surroundings characteristic of
talent and learning, also indicative of
a lite crowded wtli cares ami duties,
wilh an appreciation of valuble ser
vices by an afllictcd public, I was most
agreeably entertained, both by bis
conversational and business aptitudes
anil the exhibition that his establish
ment affords, which he very kindly
placed at my disposal. As a further
evidence ot scholistic attainments, and
an indomitable teal in the investiga

and their successAil treatment, ..tjii,,
niinv monographs tributed to medical
journals, and several late exhaustive
treatise special chronic diseases,
which were written in the intervals
between business cares, fully attest.
We see patients at his rooms from all
parts of the comment, afflicted with
all kinds of chronic disease, who hav
eome to avail themselves of lus supe
rior skill, and those associated with
him, making a Council of Doctors,
who have devoted lives to this special
ty. Besides this, an endless number
make known their maladies by letter,,
all of which are very carefully cousid
ered Dr. Pierce and his medical coun
selors, the necessary prescriptions, ad
vice or medicines being promptly for
warded by mail or express, none being
neglected, but every inquiry answered,
every want suppled", and every atten
tion paid necessary to establish health
again. Aside from all this, there are
many from his owu immediate commu
nity who seek his services, and by the
wonderful cures made, attest his great
skill in treating chronic diseases. A
beautiful illustration of the instincts
aud finer feelings of true manhood is
iiere exemplified.. While his specific
medicines, with a knowledge of their
application, are being scattered broad
cast over the land,' aud placed at pri-'
ces within the reach of all, a life de'
voted to the iuierests of others, and
schouled amid suffering, cannot remain
idle to enjoy the fruits of such labor.
but instead, he stiff lends an car to the
appeals of the sick,a tender sympathy
to the distressed, ami a cheerful heart
and baud to all their necessities. No
poverty, however abject, or adverse
circumstances, however discouraging,
need debar the afflicted from approach
ing him for his services. They are
cheerfully rei.dered alike to all. It
proves also that the mere manufacture
and vending of a medicine does not
satiate the aspirations and impulses of
a charitable and manly heart. In car
rying out this eutei prise the best med
