(in- Kimlri'ii 'irr-poiul'iil (lritililrnlly li'4i'i'llM'. IiicIiIi-iiI. In II I Triil. To thu Kditor: Our approach to llarperH1 Kerry was with a fueling of reverence; here, truly, is a spot that caiiHos, or nhould eauno every colored man to remove his hat and how down his head; hero Ih poor old-John llrown's fort an old hrlck huildlng formerly used iih an ungluo limine; you can m-o tho Identical door which was broken down by soldier, and through which Drown was taken as a prisoner. After going through tho famous Cumberland Valley and adding a few more curios of tho civil war to tho pieces of brick of tho old fort at Harper's Kerry, wo Hpcd westward through the oil and ua. tural gas regions. Natural gas Is be coming limited in its quantity and is no longer used to supply motive poucn' foi the factories, fniiudrlo4, etc., but is solely used for heating purpofus ill residences aud dlllccs. It Is a won derful and Inexpensive gift of nature. After a few inoro hours.' rhhi wo enter tho mi-called White city Chicago. And right heie let mo make mention of what una of tho railroads, whom wo hope some day will reach out to Ore gon, namely, tho Chicago it North western have done. Their improve ments during tho past two years in tho city of Chicago alone, lu elevating their tracks, putting in stono culverts, etc., has been somothiirg over $(1,000, 000. This road does the largest su burban business of any road leading out ol Chicago, unless it bo tho Illinois Central lino along tho Lake Michigan front. 1 have had occasion in one of my letters to speak of the very many novelties, security aud commrts atford ed to tho traveller by this line; I can but reiterate all 1 have already said, I enjoyed my trip back to St. Paul equally as 'uiich, if not moie, than my trip Kastward. Their "uluh break fasts" served on their trains cannot bo excelled by any restaurant for thu sum of '15 cents charged hy this lino. Leaving St. Pit il over tho Croat Northern Hallway, or as wo may call it, "Jim Hill's lino,'' I was surprised at tht larger train and thu larger num ber of people bound for tho Cautllo coast patronizing this lino. Tho Croat Northern, west bound, leaves within II vo minutes of tho timo of departure of tho Northern l'aclllc; tho former looked every inch liko an overland train, while tho latter, judging from Its passenger list, looked liko an ac commodation train. 1 havo verilled in this way what tho Croat Northern's representative In Portland, Mr. A, 11. C Doniiistoi1, told mo in Portland. The oxeautlvo head of this road is cer tainly a giant tlguru in tho building aud operating of railioads. Iho shib boleth of modern railroading Is "reditu itou", Reduction not only in fares, but in running time. 1 understand that tho year 1800 has proven to bo one of tho best years this road has had, and that thoy havo invented over S, 000,000 in Improvements. I re member of having gone over this Hue, St, Paul to Seattio, nine years ago, but it seems that tho road has revolution ized since then, Improvements aro continually going on, kinks or curves aro being taken oat and straight tracks laid instead, thus increasing speed aud lesMUiliig possibility ol accident-;. This is the Hue that took tho initiative in controltiig its trains in their entire ty; thoy havo always done, their own sleeping, dining, luiltet and observa tion cats, a something which all roads of any pretense must and will eventu ally como to. This practice on their part is not only conducive to more satisfactory service to tho passenger, but is more satisfactory and prolltahlo to the company itself, While on route I met a minor olllelal of the road going to Helena on an inspection Hip; ho had never been to Portland, but evi dently knew considerable of tho town and while speaking of tho intentions his road had with tvgaul to building and expanding in tho Pacitlo North west, and tho amount of "Oregon" business they were enjoying oven now '.'00 miles from its western terminus, stated that Mr, OounUtou was doing yeoman service for his company, not withitaudiug tho fact that their lino did not touch Portland within 300 inl!o, and wbh getting by far n large part of Oregon business for their line; tho samo was applied as to Genera i Agout Harder in tho lino of shipments of freight to and from Oregon points. .Many of tho passengers westward bound seemed. to have heard of Dcnul stou as thoy woro supplied with his cards, and looked to him on their ar rival as their friond and guldo, as ho has always done with all passengers and patrons of his Hue, upon their ar rival in tho, to thorn, thu now Kldora do Oregon. 1 purpoo stopping over nt Knlispull, otio of tho of newest and llvollost cities in Montana. Hut of this 1 shall write later. ' MULTO. Tho honor and good faith of the gov ernment Is plodgod to tho Negro, says the Standard, and every will to man in tho country should soo to it that the pledge is carried out. A very fuw years ago John J. Nolan, who is said to own something like (10 per cent of tho Jllack Patti company, was tho press agent at Ilamiiiorsteiu's Otyuipia, drawing notu very dazzling stipend, supposedly not a man of wealth. His friends insist that he Is now worth upward of $100,000. So much for having tho wisdom to invest in a Negro drawing card when the tide for Afro-Ainorclau attractions was at its Hood. It would bo interesting to know how much lllack Pattl is worth. Mrs. II. C. Wilbur, popular phre nologist, palmist and pyehlo - card reader, First and Morrison, has suc ceeded remarkably in acquiring n rep. utatiou for extraordinary power in her work. Sho will treat you most conit eously, charge you most reasonably and you will Hud that lior promisuB will be fullllled.

ComiaenU on Kverydny Matter by a Original Qentna. When a girl "hangs around" a man, It Is a sign that ho docs not hang around nor enough. Bvcrjr ninu carries a bunch of keys In his pocket, and doesn't know what one of them Is for. When a woman's teeth begin to get poor, she discovers that it Is not clo ganF to cat corn off the cob. Invito n girl to take a giant of soda, and you save her life; nt least, she says he was Just dying for a drink. If you arc ulillosophlcal when It rains on n picnic, It Is n sign that you aro really too old to be attending a pic nic. An Atchison woman goes to n differ ent resort every summer, In order that ho, may uot have to get any new gowns. It Is all right for girls under 25 to say, "When I marry,'-' but after that ago It Is moro proper to say "If I marry." When girls are sixteen, they like to get off together and talk about the llfo-tlmo friendship thnt has existed between them. A sign of an attack of approaching sickness Is to begin to pay too much attention to the noises heard around a hotiso nt night. When n new hammock Is put up, tho man of the house doesn't get a chance to try It until tho uelghbors' children havo worn It out. A man finds no one as he Jogs along as Indignant over his wrongs as his mother was years ago when tho school teacher licked him. When girls go off to the woods, peo ple think it Is to pick flowers, but a boy can't go near n tree without being accused of a desire to rob birds' nests. ii is impossiuio to please your friends; if you say ngreeablo things to them you nre accused of Insincerity, If you say disagreeable things they get mad. Somo women's Idea Is that they ars not doing their duty to their families unless they annually stick n clove In a peach or two, and put them nway lu brandy. Every womnn who has children knows the ages of nil tho other chil dren In town, because they woro born In the same year as "My Susie," or "My Johnny." When n widower's boy appears with a torn shirt, the women remark sadly that ho needs a mother; but almost every boy you see with n torn shirt has a mother. A girl who Is not quite suited with tho gifts of nature, changes her hair, her form, her complexion and her name; everything but her parcpts, poor thing. About the only timo that a woman, will admit thnt her husband knows moro abou taking care of children than sho knows, Is when thore ar firecrackers to bo shot off. ''As a rule, when a wlfo finds out what her husband wants, she regards It as her Christian duty to oppose him, believing that everything his wicked mind thinks of Is wrong. When u woman wants to abuse her husband, she always has an excuse In Jealousy; a married man lately con fessed thnt his wife was never Jealous lu her life without good cause. When n man gets, a new watch, h carries It tu a chamois bag for at least two weeks. Then ho neglects the watch ns he neglected thu old one, aud begins dropping It on tho tloor. A woiiuiu tells tlio uelghbors how per fectly lovely her husband Is, and then nbtises htm when he comes homo nt ulght because he Is uot the angelic crea ture she described to the uelghbors. There aro two sides to every story. .Now, maybe, If some of Mendelssohn's neighbors were still ou earth, wa .would hear that he was as big a nuisance witli his practicing as any body. What's tlio Umi of llathlug? Cleanliness U an excelleut hublt. It Is not, however, tin absolute essential, nor an essential nt all to good health and mental activity. Tho healtliltMt man the writer ever saw Is allvo aud well to-day. at 04; aud ho took ii bath only occasionally one In the Mersey nt Liverpool in 1838 and again iu the North river In 1878, both of which were accidental, tho gentle man being slightly Intoxicated when he fell. Almost all people who llvo to an extreme old age are found to b those who are uot overfoud of ablu tions, but who otherwise tire careful la their manlier of living. Thomas J. Hlllls, M. P., In MedlciU Record. Civilization and tho Senses. It Is a curious fact that tho higher tho civilization of a race tho slower the actloa of the souses. At any rate, actual experiments have shown that, whereas the ear of a whlto man re sponds to a Bound lu 147-1,000 of a sec oud, that of a negro respouds In 130-1,000, aud that of a rod Iudlau la 110-1.000. An Kxtriiordlnury Dutchman. Hermann ltoorhative, a Dutch physl clan, scholar aud xclentltlc author, wh was born lu UWS and died In 17158, has left It on record that he was ouce so absorbed lu his studios that ho passed a period of six weeks continuously de Toted to work. During all this time ho existed without bleep. Tor about six mouths after ho gradu ates tlio college youth expresses a will ingness to "consider offers of remun erative positions."
