CRUSHED ROCK SHORTAGE. There has beei considerable agitation in Portland of lute oil the question of the city procuring a rock crushing plant. This lias been due to the fact that it was feared, owing to the extraordinary dutnund for thla product, that a shortage would lie produced. This problem has teen solved. The Warren Construction Company lias leased from Harry How ard his rock quarry at St. Helena. The company 1 now Installing there its rock crushing plant, which hasucapacity of 500 cublo yards every ten hours. The rock will be loaded onto barges, trans fered to Hortland and discharged into the bunker at the foot of Ankney street.

A short time ago the Portland paper announced that a match "factory would be built in Portlandndaid that tlii would be thereat match factory in Or egon. From the following, taken from an old newspaper clipping it would seem tint tin was a mistake. "In 1851), John Welch built a small cnbin on 7th and Madison street in a deep laviue. It a called a match factory, he manufactured matches by hand, the flrtt ever made in Portland." It seems strange to read of anv-joe building a small cabin In a deep ravine at the corner of Seventh and Madison treet. This is now a thriving part of the city, covered with fine bnildinga. And yt It was !es than 50 veais ago that Welch made matches there in li tie cabin, in what waa almost a wilderres. XEHALEM ECHOS Fine weather in Ibis part of the country.

Mills, whose husbind is Ihe superintendent of the United States Slililar? Acndamy at West Hoict, is known Ihrougont the army for a fund of pertinent anecdotes of the service; In a natty which included prominent officers of both the army and navy she recently told this story: "I was in the south, and a colored n.inister of the Methodist persuasion was pleadii-g with one who was not a member of his flock. Oh, my dear brother, he begged why don't yon come with me and join di army of de I.ord. I done already belong to de army of de Lord, insisted the ceuro. When yon jine de Methodist? de manded the preacher i i a tone of sir- prise. I'g no Methodist but I belong to de army of de Lord jest the same. Is e a tillbllet.

I ilou't mean a hotel gong, but one of those great moon disks of yellow metal which have so terrible a power of utterance. A gentleuiau iu Bangor, north Wales, who had a private museum of south Pacific aud Chinese curiosities, exhibit ed one to me. It was hatising amitt FIJI spears beautifully barbed with sharks' teeth, which, together with grotesque New Zealand clubs of green stone and Sandwich Inland paddles wrought with the baroque visages of the shark god, were depending from the walls; also there were ludiati ele phants In ivory, carry injt balls in their carveu liellies, each ball containing many other lulls Inside It. The gong glimmered pale aud huge and yellow, like the raooii risiug over u southern swamp. My friend tapped Its ancient face with a nititlled drum stick, aud It commenced to sob like waves upon a low bench. He tupped it agttlu, nud it moaned like the wind In a mighty forest of pines.
