Our first Love.
The Regulator Thursday made the ran
from Portland tb the Cascades in three
' hours and thirty-seven minutes, running
time. . The distance is 71 miles, and
about 60 miles of this was np stream, the
last six miles against a very strong cur
Tent. It is safe to say that she pushed
along at the rate of more than 20 miles
an hour. She will have her new steam
steering gear in shape to work tomorrow,
and when she gets her . new boilers we
doubt if there is a boat on the river that
can keep in sight of her. It is noticed,
too, that she is steady as clock work-in the
rapids below the locks, scarcely a tremor
being felt aB she . plows through the
whirling rapids. Somehow, despite the
fact that the Dalles City bears the name
of onr town, and has done as much as
the Regulator towards solvingonr freight
problem, we all cling to the good boat
that dally landed at our wharves. She
was tangible, always in evidence, and
came to be looked upon as onr own first
and only love.
Thankglvlng; Service.
There will be service in St. Paul's
. church, Union street, on Thanksgiving
day, at 10:30 a. rri., with a " sermon, by
the rector on "The Origin and History
of Thanksgiving Day". It is expected
' that the music wilf be in keeping with
the day. All are most cordially invited.
A well known lady of our city has do
' nated a most beautiful piece of embroid
ery, which is now exhibited and being
raffled,1 in Snipes & . Kinersly's store.
The proceeds are to go for benevoleniob
' jects in our own city, and. the chances
. are being sold at a rate that shows- we
know a pretty thing when we see one.

PERSONAL
Signs and Token.
The squawk of the fearsome Shanghai
and the excited "turk" of the vasty
gobbler are loud, frequent and familiar
sounds betokening tbe arrival of Thanks
giving. It is a great day for the yqung
eters with its glad visions of mince pies,
full of raisins and things, or the single
standard and seductive gold-filled arti
cle yclept "punkin ;" its accomplished
dream of the nose-tantalizing turkey,
flat on his big big back with his well
browned drum sticks tuckedsnugly away
beneath the folds ot his rotund abdomen
and his corrugated wings trussed artis
tically by his juicy sides, while down in
his bold the odoriferous cargo of dressing
strains at the confining strings that
close the after-gangway and anguish to
poor their richness out before the bright
eyed little ones. Near by the incarna
dine cranberry gleams and glows . in
translucent splendor; tbe gravy' boat
loaded to its gunwales sidles up to the
steaming anil butter-crowned mashed
potatoes; the white-stalked celery lifts
ltB crisp and verdant tops way up yon
der; the brown mound of plum pudding,
conglomerate formation of the .geology
of the kitchen but enough. Imagin
ation runs riot with ub, and so we can
only give vent to our peut-up feelings in

T-GOLD BUT NO FOOD.
Experience of nn Amateur Pirate on the
Chinese Coast.
It has surely fallen to the lot of few
men to come near starving to death in
a land of plenty, with over $000 in gold
in their pocket nay, by reason of that
very fact. I had shipped at Kangoon
on board a steamer bound for Shanghai,
says a writer. When I signed she was
flying Jardine's flag at the main, but 1
believed she carried the ensign of every
nation and half the house flags of the
world in her-signal locker." An opium
smuggler I was prepared to find her;,
that her chief business on the waters
was piracy of the vilest sort and unre
deemed by a glint of romance came
upon me certainly as a revelation. -
We attacked no ships, as far as I
know, but, handled with marvelous
skill and knowledge of the intricate
coast navigation, she would run in after
nightfall among the rocks and banks
where one would expect a sampan to
take the bottom, while shrieks, flames,
the report of firearms and clash of steel
would testify to the descent tf my de
lectable shipmates upon one or another
of the numerous fishiuir villages which
fringe the shores of the China sea.
After four months' duress I struck a
blow for liberty: My little hoard Of
morphia jealously guarded toward
this eventuality deepened the narco
tism in which tbo whole crew, lay
steeped after a ghastly debauch as we
rode at anchor, and, forsaking all my
goods aud chattels and seizing in lieu
such moneys as I could find, I dropped
into the dingey and pulled off, shoeless,
hatless, arrayed only in a shirt, trousers
and belt containing the above named
sum (close on 200), hoping to reach A
German gunboat which had been sight
ed in the offing earlier in the day. '
But the night was thick and in less
than an hour I found myself close in
shore. The question of what to do was
speedily settled by the boat capsizing
among the breakers, leaving me no al
ternative but to land. Day was break
ing and I lay till next morning in a tomb
cut above the road in the hillside, and for
the next three weeks I nearly perished
for lack of nourishment, not daring to
exhibit a gold piece, for I had no weap
on and would! certainly have been
robbed and murdered.
I would gladly have thrown away all
but one piece, but there was no single
small coin in the sum total, and the re
sult would have been the same. Though
a good walker 'at that age (I had made
a record of 20 miles not long before and
could cover 300 a week without a blis
ter) I accomplished no more than 200
miles in 22 days traveling only by
night and, hiding in tombs or ditches
all day, often rushing back to my last
deserted lair in terror of the advancing
sun when no suitable place of conceal-
ment hove in sight.
With paddy and plantains snatched
precariously here and there I managed
to exist during those awful . weeks.
Chan-Chan is not regarded as a terres
trial paradise by those . Europeans
whom fate malign has compelled to.
sojourn there, but Walhalla was never
hailed with greater ecstacy by the
world-worn pilgrim than was that ce
lestial sink by myself. Toward the
20th day the smell of meet cooking ab
solutely overcame me one morning, and,
at the peril of my life, I emerged into
the light of day, and laid felonious
bands and teeth on what I believed
was a part of a baked cat, in the tempo
rary absence of the legitimate landlord
thereof. London Standard.
BRIGGS' MULE HAS MYOPIA.
Some Queer Mistakes He Makes Around
Bis Master's Barnyard.
Stories have ben told of .horses with
snakes in their eyes and horses with
watch eyes," or an evil eye, a blind eye.
and a vest amount of information has
been printed about pink eye, but it is
doubtful if any authentic history has
been-written of the peculiarities of the
animal owned by Col. HaydocV Briggs,
of New Jersey, whose banyan whiskers
were recently described and illustrated.
It is afflicted with myopia or near-sightedness.
"I reckon that the reason fur it," said
Col. Briggs, "is that my horse is a
mewl. Can't see a fence till he get
his nose within three foot of it, aud
then he shies. Mistakes the pig pen
for the bom an tries to git in with
the hogs. Stumbles over the pasiiure
fence and stubs his nose, which makes
him kick. Drinks out o' the milk pail
'cause he thinks it's water, and gen'Ily
makes an all-round' mewl fool of Lis
seflf. '
"Leastwise," added Col. Brings,' "that
was the sitiwation up to three months
ago, when an idee strikes me, wVch
I mentions to ' Maria that's Mrs.
Briggs. 'Ef you need glasses to' read the
newspapers, says 1 to Maria, that mewl
needs glasses to see whether he's eatin'
oats or sawdust,' and I got him fitted,
an' he's got to I ike 'em so he won't stir a
peg without, 'em."
Col. Briggs' spectacled mule is 'the
wonder of all thit section, of New jer
sey o round Scnttleville. The lenses.are
octagonal in shnpe and are in heavy
leather frames, which are 'strapped to
the fide straps of the bridle. They r.re
so adjusted that the animal gets a
perfect vision while looking. aheod or
sideways. When, first put on they
opened up such an unexpected vista
that the mule backed into a well snd
had to be hauled out with a derrick.
But as soon as he got accustomed to
them he .brayed loud and long every
time they were taken ofi.
"People kin laugh." said Col. Briggs,
"but I don't keer. Ef I had a near-sighted
oyster and wanted to put ppees on
him I'd do i, an' let 'em laugh till they
busted." N. Yi Mail and Express.
