Arthur Qtilller-Coneh's story called "The Tauper" contains the description of a poor old couple who give tho last little entertainment to their friends be- foro going into the workhouse. It seems to lie the ustinl thing fur Cornish folks, whoso hospitality even under the most disadvantageous circumstances is pro verbial. Ihcy like to make a splash be fore going under. "Miss Scantlebury did it better'n anybody I've heard tell of," say tlleso gossips. "When she fell Into rediHK-ed circumstances, she sold the eight day clock, that was tho only thing o' value she had left. Brown o Tregarrlck made it, with a very curi ous brass dial, whereon he carved a full rigged ship that rocked like a cradle an went down stem foremost when the hour struck. 'Twns worth walking a mile to see. Brown's grandson bought it off Miss Scaiitlebuiy for 9 guineas, he being proud of his grandfather's kill, au the old lady drove into Tro garrick workus behitid a pair of grays wi' the proceeds. Over and above the carriage hire she'd enough left to adorn the horses wi white favors an give the rider a crown, largo ss my lord. Aye, an at the workmi door she said to the fellow, said shei 'All my life Uve longed to rido in a bridal chariot, an. though my only lover died of a declino when I was scarce 23 I've douo it at hist,' snid she, 'an now heaven un airth can't undo it!1 11 Williamsburg, Ohio, Oct 7, 1891.

Hie Great Paper Mill In the Lead-Its Latest Publication. But few pojiers of the United State have ever undertaken a work of great er magnitude than has evidently been called for In the publication of the QrtytmUin't "Handbook of tbe Pacific Northwest," a copy of which has Just reached the desk of the VViHT Hiok. The "handbook" w something ot A misnomer Inasmuch as It give but little Idea of the great scope of the work. Its value as a book of reference mi lie Appreciated from the statement that It index alone contains upward of 10,000 entries, but aside front it value a a statistical publication, .It complete and highly interesting sub ject mutter almost entitles the book to beciui-M'd as a history. It contains nearly 1,000 Illustrations which were made in the Ortyonian'u engraving nsiiiis. It is a well bound a any of the finest Eastern publications and lu Us press work and generally attract- . ive upiwaraiice it Is far ahead of any siteciul publication ever Issued under ' the auspices of any paper on tbe coast. The to iK of the "handbook" can be better understood when it 1 stated that it contains exhaustive aud relia ble articles ou all the leading industries of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, West ern Montana aud British Columbia; on the climate, topography and soil of this vast region, and extended men tion of every town of importance In the Pacific Northwest. Euergy applied to a practical purpose, the dominant factor in the success of the Qrcjonian, was never shown to better advantage than lu the publication of tbe "handbook" during a year when all business was stagnated aud when nothlug but un profitable returns were looked for from most enterprises. Everybody who de sires full and accurate information on the Pacific Northwest, should send for a copy of the "handbook," and the book t-hould be kept on file, in all pub- lie libraries. It is sold at the popular price of three dollars, ICummcnced bunnies March 1, 1H.) REPOHT OF THE CONDITION OK THE FIBST NATIONAL BANK.
