"I tell you it's all nonsense," said
Uncle Peleg. . -Charity benevolence
pity I it's all played out I Your
big fairs may be all very nice, but poo
pie don't come there because they
pity the poor; they come because it's
faHhionablel"
Horatia Mere shook her pretty head.
"You see, child," said Uncle l'eleg,
taking snuff, " you're on the wrong
platform ever to get a peep behind
the cuVtain. You're an heiress, and
you re ery goou looking, ana nave a
way that people like, ana tnereiore tbe
world puts it's best foot forward, so
fnr as you are concerned. If you wore
Sirs. Sikes, the waHherwonian, or
Betty, tbe orangewonmn, you'd see
quite a different aspect of things."
"onKenHt, uncle, said rloratia,
still unconvinced. "Be a rood, darl
ing old Uncle Peleg, and let rue have
the Triomtdte ile Grande strawberries in
your south garden border for my re
fretthment table. Urine ruber, l m to
sell strawberries and cream, and I
want mv tablo to look the best in the
room.
"Who do vou suppose will buy
vour strawberries, at the outlandish
nrice vou'll nut upon them?" ho de
manded, aourlr. "Everrbodv." Ho
ratia answered, saucily. " Coiufl,
Uncle Peleg, be generous and
graceful, and say I shall have them!"
I ncle l'eleg took snuff.
"On one condition you can have
them."
Horntia clapped ner white, rosy
band9.
"And that"
"Just wait until vou hear," said tbe
old man. drily. " Vou can't have my
fifty quarts of TriomjJte de Alrande
strawberries, each one as big as a pig
eon s egg, until you nave nrst sola i
dozen quarts from door to door."
Horatia opened her brown, wonder
ing eyes like twin wells of bezel light
"I, Uncle Peleg?"
"You nieco Horatia! And I am to
specify the bouses where you are to
ffO."
"It will be fun," cried Horatia,
with a gay laugh, "I'd just as soon do
it as not.
"Perhaps it will be fun, perhaps it
won t," said L ncle l'eleg. "At all
events, I want you to get one glimpse,
at least, of life through a strawberry
woman s eves.
" And I am to be disguised. Uncle
Pelec?"
"To be sure you are. Miss Hora
tia Mere would have no difficulty in
disposinc of her wares: a friendless
irirl is different."
"All the more delightful a regular
fabliau nraiit!" cried Horatia, merrily.
"Well, Uncle where am I to go?"
"I'll write down a list of names for
vou. that shall be culled out of your
dearest friends Mrs. Montague, Mrs.
Dysart, Miss Ferrars and the like."
"Ther will all bur!" cried Horatia.
" We 11 see," Uncle Peleg said.
"Aro you willing to buy tbe Trinmphe
de Grande at such a price as this, Ho
ratia?
"At any price," tho girl answered,
gleefully.
"You don't know how disagreeable
you mcv find it."
said Horatia, recklessly.
"Hot mind, you're to keep it a se
cret."
"As tho grave," his mischievous
niece answered, with mock solemnity.
Miss Horatia Mere would scarcely
been recognized by her nearest friends
when she was dressed for tbe curious
part she was to play "for one day only"
as 6he declared. A calico dress; thick
boots in her tiny feet felt unwontedly
cbimsy; a much-worn water-proof
cloak, borowed from Mary Ann, the
cook, and a worsted hood enveloped
in a faded block veil, and a basket
hanging over her arm these wero the
details of her costume.
"Strawber-M" she cried, raising
her sweet voice to C, above. "Oh,
Uncle Peleg, it will be such a Joke."
And she tripped away, delighted at
the prospect v of playing at the reali
ties of life.
Uncle Peleg looked after her rather
doubtfully, as he resorted mechanic
ally to his unfailing panacea for all
human ills or perplexities, the snuff
box. ' '
" I'm almost sorry I sent her on
such an unpalatable errand," he said
to himself; "but it's just as well she
should leaiti to SCO the world as it re
ally is. ' Her life has been all couleur
de rose, and no wonder. The straw
berries will be a dear bargain after
all!" '
While these eccentric reflections
were passing through the old man's
brain, Horatia Mere had already
reached the first house on her list, in
habited by Mrs. Montague, a lady
who hod always the sweetest and most
saint-like character, whose voice was
soft and low, and who spoke in six
syllabled words of Websterian ele
gance. , .
Mrs. Montague nerself was in the
hall as Horatia rang the door-bell.
"If ye please ma am, said Bridget,
"it's a girrel sellin' strawberries will
we buy a quart?"
"strawberries indeed! and at the
upper door!" shrilly cried Mrs. Monta
gue, in a voice mat lor an instant al
most compelled noratia to doubt tne
lady's identity. "Don't you know,
better, girl, than to bring your trump
ery wares to the front door? What
do 'spose basement balls were made
for? Clear out, this minute! What are
you standing were lor? uon t you
hear what I say I
And she took hold of Horatio's arm
and assisted her progress with a vig
orous push.
OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1870.
Mrs. Dystart came next an elegant
widow with an ivory pure complexion;
curls like tbe tendrils of a grape vine,
whoso obstinate rings she was always
lamenting. This time our heroine
knew better than to go to tho front
steps, and made her way meekly to the
area bell. . -
' Mrs. Dystart herself presently came
to the door, and Horatia started to
see tbe marvelous dissimilarity be
tween Mrs. Dystart of society and
Mrs. Dystart at home. Her skin was
sallow, wrinkled and blotched, here
and .there, from the too frequent use
of powerful cosmetics, her hair was
screwed up into little jxipillittra se
cured by pins, making u perfect eh'
vaux da friar, of her head; her beauti
ful figure was lathy and straight like
a pump draped in calico!
"Btrawberries! of course not at this
season of the year," said Mrs. Dystart,
snappishly. "I'm not made of mon
ey r
And she slammed the door in Ilora
tia's face.
"Miss Ferrars will buy them at all
events," said Horatia to benn-lf.
"Lucille Ferrars was always noble
hearted and generous."
"How much are they?" said the fair
Lucille, coming to the head of the
basement stairs, in adibatUleot frenny
cahmere and a soiled white apron.
"Eighteen cents a basket."
"Pshaw!" said Lucille, supercili
ously. "As if I was going to pay such
a price as that! I'll give you ten!"
"They are unusually fine," said Ho
ratia, timidly.
" I shan't givo a cent over a tlcv
cnl" Horatia turned away.
"I wonder j on fruit girls havo the
faco to ask such a price!" said Miss
Lucy Ferrars fingering her purse
strings. "Twelve, there and that's
more than they're worth!"
"I cannot sell them under the price
I haTO named," persisted Horatia,
shrinking from the glittering eyes.
"Go about your business then!"
said Lucille. "1 11 see the whole tribe
of you starve, before I'll be imposed
upon so!"
Horatia felt herself disenchanted.
Could it be fossible that this shrewish
miser was her soft-voiced friend, Lu
cille Ferrars?"
"Perhaps Uncle Peleg's view's of
human nature mav not be so very
much amiss, after ail," shettaid, with a
half-sigh, after fcbe haul mailt some
half dozen or more pilgrimages, and
more than half of her berries re
mained unsold.
Miss Parker's bouse was the last on
her list. Horatia had let it remain
until all tbe the other places bad
been visited, she herself could hardly
have told why, perhaps because Justus
Parker had been her partner in the
"German" the night before. She
liked J ustus Parker yet she somehow
distrusted bis gentle, . nice smooth
manner.
"I am afraid it is all 'put on,'" she
said to herself. "But Uncle Peleg
was determined I should go there, and
I will not shrink, now that the ordeal
is so nearly over.
The servant requested her to go up
and see the young lady yourself
"she's in her own room mostly."
Horatia bad heard of Laura Par
ker's lingering spine disease, although
she never bad seen ber. And her
heart beat slightly as she ossended
tho softly-carpeted flight of stairs,
carrying her basket of berries.
Justus was sitting on a low chair
beside his sister's sofa, at the further
end of the room ; he rose and came
forward as the stranger entered.
"This bosket is too heavy for you
to carry," ho said, taking it from her
arm and moving forward a scat, with
a sort of unconscious chivalry.
. "It is not so heavy as it seems
said she, somewhat bitterly, "and if
it were, I am nothing but a btraw
Lerry woman."
"But I suppose a strawberry wo
man has feelings and sensations like
other people," said Justus ' Parker,
smiling. "Sit down a moment, while
my sister looks at your fiuit.
"You must be very warm," said
Laura Parker, gently. "Lay back
your veil. Justus, please ring for a
glass of water. Horatia accepted
tbe water, but refused to unfold her
veil. It was altogether too good a
medium for her to observe the quiet
tenderness with which Justus Parker
treated his invalid sister the open
Bible on the table, tho fresh flowers
by the sofa, all mute tokens of
thoughtful love and earo.
Miss Parker bought half a dozen
baskets of berries, without a word of
exception to the price.
"They are the finest I hove seen this
year!" she said. ""You must come
again when you have more.
Horatia Meres cheeks were burn
ing when she made her escape at lost,
both basket and heart considerably
lightened. .
"Well, uncle! she cried, gleefully.
when she at length reached home, "I
have earned the Triomphe de Grande!"
"Have you been to all the pkces?"
"Yes, all!"
And she told him her adventures,
with playful humor.
"Not a bad day's work," said TJncle
Peleg, laughingly.
Miss Horatia Mere had the hand
somest refreshment table and the best
sales of any young lady at the Fair,
and Justus Parker was her favorite
customer. '
The result of the fair not an un
common one, if all reports are true
was one wedding, u not more. Hora
tio Mere was married to Mr. Parker;
but not until after the honeymoon did
he know the story how his aristocratic
little bride had sold strawberries from
door to door! '

A DILL TO PROTECT I'XISCOR
PORATED TOWNS.
Hon. Geo. It. Helm, Chairman of
the House Judiciary Committee, has
reported the following bill, which, if
it becomes a law, will protect all Til
lages in the State that are not suffi
ciently populous to afford the luxury (?)
of a town coiporation:
De it enacted by thr Legislative A&embly
of the State of Oregon:
SEcnost 1. If any persons shall, in
any unincorporated town or village in
this State, wilfully ride or drive any
horse or mule upon the sidewalk there
in, or shall wilfully drive or ride any
horse or mule through the ptreets

miles per hour, or shall use any ob
scene or profane language in such town

Naturalization or Negroes. Per
haps it is not generally known that a
Radical Congress has at last succeeded
in part of its ultimate designs by con
ferring the right of naturalization up
on tbe negro race. Ihe seventh sec
tion of the act of July 14, 1870, reads
as follows:
Sec. 7. And be it further enacted.
That the naturalization. laws are here
by extended to aliens of African tjo
tivity and to persons of African de
scent.
Thus the negroes from Congo and
Dahomey, who have fattened them
selves on missionaries, may now be
naturalized in any Court of the United
States, while the Chinaman, to whom
the Radical party are now attributing
all the virtues of humanity with a
happy exemption of its vices, is still left
out in the cold. How long will this
state of things last, provided the Rad
icals retain power? Having given an
invitation to the whole African family,
native and alien, to come over and
help us in the grand work of civiliza
tion, they cannot long resist the appeal
of John Chinaman. -Oregon Herald.
The Express Cablotta. One of the
strangest effects of the present war in
Europe happily a grateful result-
has been the salutary influence on the
health of the unfortunate ex-Empress
of Mexico. The eminent physicians
in attendance upon her Majesty be
lieved that the news of the Prussian
victories would do good to their royal
patient's mind, and the result has jus
tified their anticipations. The intelli
gence of the German successes was
no sooner communicated than her
mind seemed to resume the long-broken
thread of consciousness. Thence
forward she has continued to be ab
sorbed in the news of the day, and
there is now a hope that she may com
pletely recover.
A dispatch from China through Rub-
8ia, says the Chinese are preparing
for war. f urther outrages have been
committed, on the missionaries.
