Since "plat**-matter" came in vogue we have not been pntting much general reading matter in type: but the story entitled ' Life's Secret," which we found in Littells Living Age of week before last, is so remarkable that we re produce part of it this week, and will finish it next. Unless newspaper writers, printers and prr>of readers are very careful they mix proper names np woefully. For Instance, one of the Kittanning weeklies of last week annoouoced that M L.

At the meeting of Council, Tnes day evening, the Secretary was direct e d to advertise for bids for the paving of north McKean St., north Washing ton St., and also for south McKean St., if the property owners will release all for damages. The people of West Cunningham and East Wayne also want to pave, and the solicitor was directed to prepare the ordinances, if the petitions are in correct shape. The Westinghonse j»eople offer to bnild an electric light plant for the town for $11,300. —Thank goodness its over- We mean the fight and now let the fighting talk jfive place to something more useful. How was this for a spat between two kid*, neither of whom had a nickle in his pocket. "Why say, he'll lick him in one punch Fitz is no fighter He is a big nothing. Just yon wait till Cor bettgets him in a ring, and he'll knock him out with one smack." He can't fight a little bit. A four year old boy could make him run. Who has Oorbett licked? Poor old Peter Jackson, almost dead, fought him to a stand still. Old John L. Sullivan, when he was sofeeble that he couldn't stand up. Why old Sullivan was a has been two years lie fore he could get Corl>ett into a ring, and Corliett would have never fought him if he hadn't known that he was ready to fall down from a push." "Oh, come off; who did Fitz ever lick? No body yes they were all nobodies with / fco reputation. He put Peter Matter ont down in Mexico after Maher had Is-en dissipating for months and paid no attention to his training. He won a decision over Jim Hall at New Orleans by luck, It was all chance. And what did he do to Sharkey out ill Frisco when he fonnd he couldn't lick him he fouled him to save his bacon. Oh, say, Fitz is a mouth fighter, and he has no call to claim to Is; in the class with Cor bett." "He hasn't, hasn't he; well, you'll see when he gets Mister Jimmy in the ring at Carson on St. Patrick's day. Oh, he won't do a thing to him. „ He'll put in one of his hook blows and Corbett will lay down and give it np right there. Why,the fight won't last three rounds. Fitz has it won already. There isn't any one in it but the Aus tralian kangaroo." "So you say, but talk's cheap, and it takes good stiff „ punches to win ljattles. My money says Corbett wins. I'll bet five hnndred dollars that Jim lays Fitz ont in one round." "I'll bet yon five hundred dollars that Fitz wins in a canter,hands down." You bet five hundred dollars. Why. you haven't five hnndred cents. "You needn't talk you haven't got five cents." And the two parted.

The performance of the Merchant of Venice by Mr Walker Whiteside and his efficient company at the Opera House, promises to prove more than ordinarily interesting In the role <<f Shylock Mr. Whiteside has a character in which he is thoroughly in sympathy. It is one to which he has devoted many years of careful, conscientious study, and his mastery of it is .1 striking illns tration of the cultured genius which has won for him a leading position in the dramatic world during the past few seasons. Mr. Whiteside comes here heralded by the strongest enconiuins ever bestowed upon a tragedian in the . ■ v#Js\ ' ' • a i ' I I# United States, and the result is appa rent in the marked interest which his engagement has aroused. This senti ! ment is not confined to any particular i class or locality, and while the society ; leaders of the city are taking an active | interest in Mr. Whiteside's engagement, i the advance sale denotes a widespread ! appreciation of the tragedian's fame ! and admirable qualities as a player I among all classes. Mr. Whiteside's company is said to : !>e admirrbly adapted for the Shake ■ sperian class of plays, and the audience 1 can be assured not only of a fine <le j lineation of tin; leading character, but I also of a careful and interesting per ' formanee throughout.

The above name 'Argonauts ", is the one given to themselves by that brave band of men from Butler and adjoining places who left Pittsburg on March 13. iblii. for California in search of gold. They are sometimes called the Forty nineni. They went by the overland route fir.-1 going by boat from Pitts burg to St Louis, Missouri and from there to California on foot, more than two thousand miles. The great West was then but thinly populated and their hardships were very trying and severe. But they trudged along with their ox carts until they finally reached the golden land. Some returned and some never did. In after years those returning formed the society they now call tiie Argo riant.; for the purpose of keeping up acquaintances and social intercourse. They meet annually at Pittsburg. The Pittsbnrg papers of Tuesday gave an account of their meeting Monday last, i one of thern the "News contained pho tographfl of Maj. F[(' Negley and George Michael Dorch. formerly of Butler, and Mr.Henry C. Heincrnan yet living here. These gentleman lake an active part in each meeting, and their pictures as presented in the News were looked upon by their old friends with rnnrh interest. Tli< ir interest in their society is Mnnethiog akin to tliat of the mem i of the (irand army of the Republic IK-V.X. and the present generation can not duly appreciate their great trials in 1849.
