SOME WILD DAY-DREAMS.
Surely the Clondyke excitement
has developed many kinda and de
grees ot madness. No scheme is too
visionary to attract apparently sensi
- bio men ; no idea too wild to catch
and hold innumerable followers; - no
dream of the tenderfoot, who does
not know a Hungarian riffle from a
sluice fork, so fairy-like that it will
not unloosen the puree strings that
have been tied in a double hard knot
for years. Gold is the mighty magi
cian that dazzles the eyes and blunts
the vision of its victims, while it
lures them on to the fields of ever
lasting ice.
The rudderless minds of the insane
asylums could not evolve wilder
or more senseless theories than those
resulting from the deliberations of
gold-mad men. A warp of fancy
and a woof of d reams', woven by the
delirious fingers of the ecstatic into a
cloth of the field of gold, furnishes
the material from which these vision
anes make the garments for their
moonings. Aladdin has rubbed his
ring, the earth has opened, and in the
far-away Clondyke every icicle has
become a diamond, every snowball a
pearl, every pebble a golden nugget
ueans ana sow-oeiiy at long range
become an epicurean feast, and 72
below, zero is glamoured into the
spicy breezes of Cathay. , Mosqui
toes and gnats are no longer tor
meets, but become Nature's soothing
emolients and aids to slumber.
Work, hardship and suffering are a
best giil, a hammock and peaches
and cream. A hundred-pound pack
on the back up the icy sides of Chil
cat pass is synonymous with biking
down grade of a summer evening.
love a young dream is as prosy as
digging potatoes compared to it.
Ik is really too bid that the awak
ening shall come. Aladdin will lose
his lamp, the ; fairy and airy palaces
will vanish, the dreams will fade, the
visions , pale before the sunshine of
returning reason.
me election in unto comes oil in
October and promises to be the most
hotly contested one ever held in the
state. The Democracy have it-in
for Hanna, and as the legislature is
to be eleeted that chooses his suc
cessor, everything that can be done
to accomplish his defeat will be
tried. In talking with a prominent
politician who lives in Ohio, but is
now visiting the coast, he expressed
the above views, and added that the
coal-miners' strike would be of great
assistance to the Democrats, and
might throw the victory to them, as
Hanna Is largely Interested ; in coal
mines.
The term of United States Marshal
Grady expires by limitation early in
September, aud it is therefore prob
able" bis successor will be named
within the next two weeks. Should
the -. president not appoint, Justice
- Field will have the naming of the
temporary marshal. Justice Field
will also have the naming of a suet
cessor to United States Attorney
Murphy Should he president fail to
appoint, and as his term also expires
in September, those on tbos anxious
seat are , liable to soon have their
doubts settled. .
Any old thing is good enough to
get to Alaska on. The old steamer
Eliza Anderson that was built so
long ago that most steamboat people
had forgotten heruhas been equipped
for the Alaska trade, and is to go to
the mouth of the Yukon at that She
was in the boDej'ard for a dozen
years, and lay at the bottom of the
Sound for a year or two, a sunken
wreck; ,bul she is good enough for
the gold-seekers. '-.',-:
. THE S if A HE OF I T. .
C. C. Garrett writes to the Spokes
man Review concerning Mrs. M. J.
Delanev. who ' started to Oregon in
1844 with her parents, both of whom
died on the way. ? With her brothers
and sisters she reached the Whitman
station, and the whole lot were taken
care of by him. She was capiured
at the Whitman massacre by the In
dians and ransomed by the Hudson
Bay Co. She is now poverty-stricken
and crippled with rheumatism and
resides at Farmrhgton. ';' '.;'
The story awakens sympathy and
pity, not for her poverty nor for her
crippled condition, for those things
are of the common lot. The sting
of the story lies in its tail, the con
eluding sentence being:- "Does it
not seem a shame that she must now,
in her crippled old . age, eat the
bread of charity and become a bur
den on her children, who are barely
able to care for their own families."
There lies, for her, the bitterness,"
that in her old age the hands that
toiled until they could toil no more
tor her children., and that gave royal
ly, must receive the begrudged gift
of food from those who reaped the
harvest of her bounty; that the lips
that pressed the mother's kiss upon
the baby lips must ask that baby
grown to manhood for alms. Truly
it is a shame; but the shame lies with
those who think their mother a bur
den and permit her condition' to be
come so grievous that . the public is
called upon to assist her. I
While comtbrtably quartered on
the deck of an ocean steamer, the re
freshing breezes that gather- inspira
tion as they sweep the silvery surface
of Puget sound, cooling his exten
sive brow and toying with his sorrel
locks, Joaquin Miller writes beauti
fully of the pleasures of ClonJyke
mining. He grows enthusiastic, elo
quent and poetical as he describes
the natural advantages' offered by
Northern Alaska a run over the
Cuilcoot, a float down the Yukon.
Viewed from this position the Clon
dyke appears perfectly enchanting to
the old poet. He is going to stroll
over alone from Dyea, taking every
thing (including provisions) perfect
ly easy, and will jot down his experi
ence each day for his syndicate arti
cles. The letters descriptive of .the
journey in will no doubt be rosy
hued and romantic. The prose part
will probably show up in the letters
descriptive of the sojourn at the dig-
gms ana the journey out. . if there
is one thing more than another cal
culated to convince a man that "life
is real, life is earnest," and put a
saw-tooth edge on bis poetic nature,
we should imagine a winter in Clon
dyke on a dog meat diet to be the
thing. It will be interesting to con
trast the literary productions of Joa
quin Miller with those or Jonquot
Miller. Pendleton Tribune.
The expected has ' happened at
Dyea, and 3000 gold-seekers are en-
carrped there waiting to get their
goods - packed . over the mountains.
That this was certain to be the case
was plain to ever one who had not
a coal oil can full of gold dust in
each eye. Given 1600 pounds of
stuff ta be conveyed thirty-one miles
by . each person, the only means of
transportation being'a pack train of
Indians, supplemented by the owner
of the freight, and it is not difficult
to reach the vcorclusion that the job
a big one. : Not half so difficult,
as to get the goods over the mount
ain, xne result is as expected,
many already discouraged are scllinj:
their Outfits for anything they can
get, and returning to civilization to
do what they should have done at
first,, wait until spring, Aud still
the rush continues as' fast as rotten
and long-ago condemned old hulks
can be resurrected to carry the mad
ding crowd, and it will continue all
winter if transportation to Dyea is
provided. -' -". '' '
The editor of the Eugene Guard
contesses to not being farmer enongh
to know whether thirty-four grains
of wheat in one head is a good yield
or not. ' This confession is decidedly
startling, but indicates that the pro
fession is advancing, and leads one
to hope that the time may come

A USELESS VENIAL.
The Alusk.i Commercial Company

that it had instructed Jts agents at

pirates of Behringsea, ever suspected
them of knowing what philanthropy
means. Its members are "out for

get it. Protected by' the govern
ment in the monopoly of killing
seals, they refuse, and , have refused
for years to pay one cent on their
contract with the government, while
demanding a flotilla of warships to
keep Canadians and others off the
high seas. ''! ,
It would not be difficult to be

a woor devil of a slow-awjiv miner

Major A. D. Reynolds of Tennes
see, by close application to business
for thirty years, accumulated a for
tune of $525,000. He also accumu
lated old age, but he got his religion,
which had hung fire during all these
thirty yeats, in - a lump sum. Then
the major concluded that the busi
ness he was following, that of manu
facturing tobacco, was not in accord
with the religious belief that he had
accepted, and so the good major con
cluded to retire from the sinful busi
ness. It - would seem but a natural
sequence that be should have de
stroyed the wicked plant, but he
didn't, he sold it for $30,000. Sold
it to another wicked and sinful mor
tal who wanted to go plunging
through a sinful, career. The major
of-course was not his "brother's
keeper." His own poor old withered
and tobacco-soaked soul was all he
could look after and more, and so
he added $30,000, the price of bis
salvation, to his $525,000, the result
of his sin, and goes prancing to his
reward. .
We don't believe in the use of the
"K' in spelling Clondyke, nor do we
think the "i" preferable to the "y"
in Klondjke.' The "i" might be all
right provided it begun with a 'fC,"
and was spelled Clondike ; but as tbe
department e'erks at Washington
know all about . Indian names, and
everything else pertaining to the Pa
cific coast, and as they bare decided
on K-!-o-n-d-i-k-e, Klondike, the
latter will have to go. After all it
doesn't matter much how it ia spelled,
for the worst spell in connection with
it will be that the fellows on their
way there will have.
' Silver having struck the . down

Mexico still clings to it, but must
perforce soon let go and go to the

ble that in the near future silver will
no longer be classed as a presious
metal, and even now it is approach,
ing the ratio of 1 to 16 as compared
with copper. ' There is, indeed, noth

The Cubans seem iu a fair way of
getting their independence without
the aid of Uncle Sam.v This is, in
deed gratifying to Cuban syrapa-
tnizers in this country, for we are
well acquainted 'with Uncle Samuel,
and know that u Cuba does not set
her independence without his assist
ance, she will never get it at all. He

too bad, don't you know," while the

A rich strike is reported from
Trinity s county, ' California, , that
makes even the Klondike tales grow
tame. J The Graves brothers drove
a tunnel twenty-five feet into an iron
ledge, taking out considerable gold,
bnt at .that distance a pocket was
struck from which $42,000 worth of
gold was taken in four days, one
piece being 3 feet long, 2 feet wide
jani inches thick Besides this, it
,s supposed there is another $100,000
worth of gold iu the pocket, and , the

The action of the Canadian gov
ernment in taxing gold miners of the
Yukon twenty per cent of their prod
ucts has caused a storm , of protests
from British Columbians. We- are
pleased to note that our neighbors
across the border are actuated by a
desire to see fair play, but we fear
the Canadian government will pay
little heed to their protests. The
Canadian government is "sot in its

and all speculative centers' throughout
Europe and America were shaken np.
The great boom in Eastern markets was
reflected to a certain degree in pur own
interior markets, and Bharp advances
were telegraphed from tbe Valley and

must do oouiinea at almost any cost,
and a sharp competition between buyers
carried prices above the real 1 shipping

a basis of 85.c per bnehel here, which

MISS GUILFORD'S VOW.

The people iu the southcrn part ot

ested in a peculiar malady which af- ;
fiicts Miss Experience G uillqrd, an aged
woman of East Bluchill. who. has not 1
uttered a word or any audible sound
for 50 years. The original reason for
Miss Guilford's speechlessness was an
ger because she could not .-marry the
man of her choice. When she was 19
years old she fell in love with William
Simpson, the village. . schoolmaster.
They were to be married on June 18,
1847.' One of Miss Guilford's rejected. .
suitors told tales about the schoolmas
ter, and Miss Guilford's parents stopped -the
wedding. Miss Guilford thereupon - -said:
-' ' ' : ' . . -; .. ' '
"I swear I will not speak a word,
though I live for 50 years, unless I mar
ry this man." :. . ' -'
She kept her pledge. . Her parents
died, and she went to live with ber mar
ried brother. When he died she made v
her home with a sister, and after-the
sister's death she went to a camp in the
woods and kept house for a brother.
with whom she is now living. All this ,
time she performed her share of the
household work and did not show any
regret for having made the vow. When
the 50 years of 6ilence expired Bhe
was visited by a large number of rela-
tievs and friends, who went to the camp
for the purpose of being present when
she was at liberty to speak. Soon after
the midday meal Miss Gui'ord dressed
herself in the garments which she had
not worn for half a century. At two
o'clock she stood up before the people,
smiled and opened her moutti to speaK;
but, though she tried hard and got red ,
In the face in trvinar. she could not
utter a sound. Her vocal muscles had .
become atrophied from long disuse and
refused to work. !
4 When Miss Guilford found that she
could not speak she sent to Bangor
for a physician and took td her bed.
The doctor gave no hope of recovery, 1
but ; suggested that she be sent to a
Boston hospital for treatment.. As soon
as Miss Guilford gets strong enough to .
take the journey she will make another
effort to regain her speech. Her father
left her a good sum of money a his
death, which has been growing every
year in a savings bank, ao she is well
able to obtain the treatment she re
quires. N. Y. Snn. ';..--.'' ''-.;
