HIRAM JENKINS' MISTAKE.
Hirnm Jenkius drove slowly up the
hill road that led to the frtrm-house
of Deacon Bates. It was plain even
to the casual observer that the er
rand he was bound upon was of a
common importance. No man would
have arravod himself so gorgeously
simply for the purchaso of a tub of
fall butter or a yoke of Bteers. His
hair was in a state of distressing
smoothness, and seemed almost a
part of the glossy hat which covered
it. His coat and pantaloons were
marvels in their way and his boots,
which had been elaborately blacked.
reflected back the rays of the setting
sun in a manner perfectly blinding
to the beholder. And yet notwith
standing his superiority in all these
respects to the lillics of the field,
there was apparent in his actions a
singular sort of nervousness, a trepi
dation almost, which rendered his
appearance at once ridiculous and
awkward. This trepidation was in
no wise lessened by the sudden vision
of a red-headed urchin watching him
from tho barn-door, and who, as the
team approached, with an ever
widening grin, sped off in tho direc
tion of the farm-house and disap
peared through the kitchen door.
Hiram v"JKonscious a minute after
wards of hoing the target for half a
dozen pair of eyes from the sitting
room windows, and it required extra
ordinary strength of mind on his part
to drive past the house to the shed
whore the horses of all visitors were
hitched. There aro few more awk
ward things to do than to get out or
in a carriage when women are watch
ing, and though Hiram had prob
ably never thought of the fact before
he fully experienced its truth, as en
deavoring to spring genteelly from
the buggy, his foot slipped on the
wheel and he cumedown onhishands
and kneesjn the dirt. His remarks
as he scrambled to his feet were con
fined to one word, but that, though
short, was the most expressive one
of the English language.
"1 will have to go round to the
barn pump to wash my hands before
I can go in," said he to himself. . "I
suppose they are having their own
fun out ol me m the house now.
Confound it, I wish I hadn't start
ed !"
As he passed the horse-barn, which
was partly open, he heard the sound
of voices. He listened, and his heart
sank as ho recognized the tones of
his rival, Elnathan Rogers.
"I want her bad," he was saying.
"She just Buits me. You can't al
ways bavo her, vou know, and you
had better call the thing settled."
"I don't know about that," an
swered the deacon, doubtfully. "I
have 'always said, come what would,
I would never part with Jenny. But
you hang on so, I don't know "
"bay its a bargain, deacon. 1
have thought it over a good while,
and Jenny I must have. I'll treat
her well, you may be sure of that."
The deacon hesitated, blew his
nose, and finally said:
"She's got some little tricks that
nobody knows anything about but
me, and I don't want to impose upon
a neighbor.''
"Oh pshaw ! that's only an excuse
deacon. I'm willing to risk it."
"Slio Licked me in the stomach
laBt winter, and bit little Sammy not
more than six weeks ago. I can show
you the scar now."
"Great king I" thought Hiram,
"and here I was going to pop the
question this very evening. Who
ever would have thought it !"
"I'll take that out of her," said
Elnathan, continuing the conversa
tion. "If she so much as lifts her
foot against me, I'll give her a licking
that'll last her a month."
"Lick ! ' ejaculated Hiram to him
self, astonished beyond measure.
"Lick Jenny Bates ! Well, this goes
ahead of anything I ever heard of.
And the old man don't nay a word !
What next?"
A pause ensued, which wan broken
by the deacon.
"Well, if you must have her, you
must. I expect the old lady will
want something to say about it,
though, nlie thinks as much of
Jenny as I do. Won't you come into
the house i1 .
"Not now. I've got to go down
to the village before dark. I'll lie
round some time to-morrow."
Hiram Jenkins waited until he saw
his successful rival climb tho fence
between the two farms Then he
deliberately unhitched his horse, got
into his wagon and drove off, never
casting a look towards the window
(vhero the fair Jenny sat in watchful
expectation. Not until he reached
his own door did he draw a long
breath.
"It seems just liko a dream," said
he to himself as ho slowly unbuckled
the harness. "To think of Jenny
Bates kicking her own father and
biting her little brother, and she
looking as though butter wouldn't
melt in her mouth ! It's just as
mean, though, in the deacon to lick,
as it is for her to kick. The old
hypocrite! Well, I must say I'm
mightily deceived in tho Bateses.
I tt'pose Elnathan Rogers feels cranky
enough now he's got her. I juBt hope
she'll kick his heal off. Lucky for
me I overheard what I did."
Notwithstanding this self-gratiila-tion,
Uimm felt all the panga of dis
appointment and jealousy. He had
not only lost his "j irl," but he had
len cut out i:i the most mortifying
manner by a man he held in thorough
contempt. He felt that even with
what he now knew of Jenny' faults,
if ho could gain her hand he would
carry her oft" in spite of her rival or
the deacon cither. !
A week pusxed by and Jenny was j
never out of Hiram's thoughts. One
day he went to the village, and while
there, Manding in the front of the
post-ofik-c, Einathnn Itogcrs drove
by with the deacon'n mare.
"I n'poe now he' gut Jenny he
thinks he' got a right to the whole
r
property," muttered Hiram. "I
wish to gracious the old mare would
put her foot through the dashboard!"
That night the singing-school met
at the Academy. Hiram came late.
He used to set with the tenors just
behind Jenny Bates. Now he chose
a different seat, and tried hard to
sing bass. He could not, however,
help seeing Elnathan pass pepper
mint lozenges to Jenny, and also
write something on the blank leaf of
her singing-book, which she read and
answered.
''Of course he'll go home with her
to-night," thought Hiram. "It'll be
the first I've missed for years. He's
welcome, though."
AH intermission be kept his seat,
and pretended to bo very busy look
ing for some tune in his singing book
that refused to be found. Jenny did
not look at him.
The doxology closed the school at
last, and there was a grand bustling
about the door, and an eager pushing
among the young men to make sure
of their favorites. Hiram was trying
to make his way through the crowd,
when he found himself at the elbow
of Jenny Bates, and the same mo
ment the hateful voice of Elnathan
Iiogers Was heard to say:
"Shall I sbe you home to-night,
Miss Bates?"
- "No, sir," was the prompt reply,
"I shall walk home alone."
Hiram was totally unprepared for
this.
"Perhaps it'B one of her fits," he
said to himself. "The deacon said
she had 'em; that nobody knew it but
himself. I am glad she mittened
him though."
The word mitten reminded Hijm
that he had left both of his on the
seat in the school-room, and he
stepped back just as the candles were
being put out.
"Hero's Jenny Bate's singing
book," he heard one boy say to an
other. ' ' She went off in such a hurry
to-night she forgot it."
"Give it to me," said Hiram, who
remembered what had taken place
that evening, and with eager look
sought out the written messages that
had passed between Jenny and his
rival. They wore as follows :
"Tell your father he cheated me
when I bought old J enny . I thought
by her name she must be good for
something, but she kicks and bites
ten times worse than ho ever told me,
I wish now I had spoken for the
Jenny in . the house instead of the
one in the barn."
And the answer :
"I guess the horse is as good as
you deserve. As for your choosing
between the two you mention, you
won't be able to do that this year.
You havo got the only Jenny you can
ever get from my father."
A light broke in upon Hiram.
"Well, of all the infernal fools I
ever heard of I am the biggest ! A
dog would have had more sense. It's
not too late now, thank heaven."
The departing crowd stared as
Hiram with singing book in his hand
rushed down t he stairs, two at a time,
and up the road which led toward
Deacon Bates'. If he was not too
late he was nearly so, for Jenny was
just opening the gato of the front
yard.
"Ston. Jenny!" ho exclaimed,
panting for breath.' "Here's your
singing-book, louielt it on the seat.
I tried to overtake you."
"You needn't havo taken the
trouble, Mr. Jenkins; I guess no one
would have stolen it, said Jenny
with a great display of dignity and
making a. show of going into tho
houso.
"Don't Jenny ! Wait wait just a
minute, I know I've acted like a fool;
but just let me explain."
Jenny hesitated a moment made
another start towards the door, then
turned and went back to the gate
where the discomfited Uiram stood
waiting
"Well," she said in as freezing a
tone as she could command.
"Now don't look and talk that way,
Jenny Bates. You know I never
would have acted as I have if I hadn't
thought you were going to marry
Elnathan Rogers."
"What business had you to think
nny such thing?" asked Jenny, firing
up. "A pretty explanation that is !
and again she turned away from the
gate.
"Stop! Let mo Ml you. Can't
you listen a minute t said Hiram in
desperation. He felt there was no
other way than to make a clean
breast of it, and plunged into his
story at once. Word for word he
related the conversation, he had
heard in the barn, and the effect it
had upon him. He was deeply in
earnest and in closing, humbly ap
pealed for forgiveness. He saw her
tremble and put her hands to her
face. Poor girl, she pitied him !
His heart rose and his hand was upon
the gate to open it, when a peal of
laughter, louder and longer for being
so long pent up, rang out upon the
night air, almost startling Hiram out
of his boots and waking the deacon
and his wife from a sound sleep in
the upper front bed-room.
L'p went the window and a night
capped head was thrust out, with a
demand as to what was the matter.
Still Jenny laughed, while Hirnm
stood silent by the gate, angry and
ashamed not knowing whether to
advance or go back. At last Jenny
found her voice.
"Go borne Hiram," she said; "say
your prayers and go to klcep, then if
you want to say anything more to
tne" come up to-morrow evening after
supper, but mind you don't go listen
ing at any more barn-doors on your
way home ;" and she went off in an
other peal of laughter.
Hiram did not wait to say good
night. Whether be slept or said his
praycri that night k not recorded,
but it is cn established fact that eight
o'clock the next evening found him
in deacon Bates' parlor. The inter
view was a long and prolably an iu
tereating one, and iu immediate r-

the deacon had neither a Jenny in
the house or in the stable.
That was years ago, and Hiram has
since done the town some service as
Selectman, and is likewise a dignified
Justice of the Peace. But in the
midst of all his dignity and honors,
if he ever happens to insist upon
having his own way, the threat of
telling about the horse-barn brings
him to terms at once. It is the one
check to his independence the magio
charm by virtue of which Mrs. Hiram
Jenkins wields the household scepter.

THE MKW KMrtHOIt OF CHINA.
The Daily News of February Sd,
contains the following:
We have at last definite Informa
tion as to the course of events In Pek
ing since the death of the late Em
peror, and ltinri) that a boy named
Tsai-ticn, a son of the seventh Prince,
is the new ruler of China under the
stylo nnd title of Kwang-su. The
death of the young Emperor, who
had rsigned since August, 1861, un
der the style of T'ung Che, took place
at about 5 p. m. on tho 12th of Jan
uary, tn the nineteenth year of his
age. Early In the morning following
it was rumored In Peking that a
grandchild of his eldest undo, the
Prince of Tub, had been selected for
tho succession, in the absenco of a di
rect heir; but in the course of the
day it became known that the two
Empresses, i. ?., tho Empress Dowa
ger and tho Empi ess Mother (of T'ung
Che), the well-known regents during
t.ie late majority, naa seiecten tiie
only son of the Princo's second broth
er, the Prince of Ch'un. This child,
who is nt present, it is said,
BETWEEN THREE AND FOUR YEARS OLD
Was designated as successor to the
throne in a deeree of the Empresses,
to which sanction was declared in
the valedictory manifesto of the de
parted sovereign. The selection of
this candidate is popularly attributed
to the choice of the Empress Mother,
who is a sister of the Princess of
Ch'un, nnd consequently aunt by
blood as well as marriage to the
child. These two august ladies are
said to be daughters of a Manchu
functionary formerly in office as Ta
otai of the KweiTsui Circuit in Shan
si, named Cheng-lin. The result
shows that the Empresses have known
how to maintain and exalt the posi
tion gained by their co; d'etat in
18G1, when they seized the reins of
power after the death of Hien-fung;
and we cannot but atlmire the vigor
and determination with which they
dominate the rival parties and bond
rrinces and Ministers to their will.
The effect of the present selection is
to make them again ex-omcio regents
and among the Peking QaieUe.t will
be found an edict appointing them
to that office.
THE YOUTHFUI, SOVEKEION KI.EUC
Was conveyed to the Palace from his
father's residence at about 4 a, m. on

the Peking Qaiette on that and the

official stages of this historical epi
sode. The adontion of tho Kwoh

A VERY DESTRUCTIVE FIBE
Broke out on the night of February

in which case the premises of 1).

without having caused any injury to

In the last issue of the Oregon City
Enterprise, is a well written article
on the necessity of Home Manufac
ture, under the above heading, from
which we make the following extract:
We doubt if there is a State in tho
Union possessed of more natural and
productive wealth than Oregon.
There is one thing we can say with
out successful contradiction, that
thore is no State that can show a
greater export for the number of
poupiu. .Luis wuuibu is piuuuuiy
more equally distributed than in
other States. We have no very poor
people among us, and yet none aris
tocratically wealthy. Yet we find
that monoy is scarce nnd many of
our citizens complain of hard timos.
Let us see if this is not our own fault
more than tho cause of natural con
sequences. In the first place, aro
not the producers, to a great extent,
standing in their own light when thoy
do not encourage home manufacture
and home industry? See tho enor
mous amount of money our farmers
allow to go out of the State annually
for sacks to send their grain to mar
kot. These sacks could be made
hero, and by so doing, would not
only give remunerative employment
to many idle persons in towns, but
would give profitable employment to
our farmers. Just think for a mo
ment what a difference this item alone
would make to any one town in Ore
gon. Over lliroo hundred thousand
dollars goes out of the Stato annually
for this one item alone. This entire
sum could be kept at home and cir
culated among our people. Tho
farmer and manufacturer would get
their share of it, while at the same
time the farmer would be creating a
consuming clement to use up the
surplus products on which we now
have to pay heavy freights to ship to
other countries. We annually im
port not less than ton hundred thou
sand dollars worth of farming imple
ments, and this is constantly on an
increasing demand. All those imple
ments could be made here, and we
neod only imjwrt such of Hie material
as wo have not in our own State.
Let some ono take thia itom alone and
see how many consumors this largo
sum of money would support, direct
ly nnd indirectly.- Our shoes,, leath
er and harness probably cost ub an
other million annually. These could
all be made at home nnd tho monoy
retained hero, boo how many con
sumors this vast sum would Biipport
and keep tho money in circulation
at home. -Our rendy niado clothing
is another big item which could nil he
saved. Now, when we take into con
sideration that this vast amount of im
ports is mado at tho expense of not
more than a producing population of
fifty or sixty thousand peotilo and
wo have not euumorated all that we
import which could be made hero
is it any wonder that timos are hard
nnd money scarce in Oregon? Not
at all. The only wonder is, that
Oregon is ablo to sustain hereelf un
der such circumstances.

From the Albany Democrat wo
lenrn of the healthy finansial condi
tion of Linn county and of her free
dom from debt alter building n fine
Conn House at a cost of $40,000 and
a 10,0(J Jail. When the Uupuhli
enns went out of power in tlwil county
it was largely in debt with high rule
of taxation, on the ncuession of the
Democracy to control of affnirs strict
economy was observed and practiced,
the indelitcdnoHH tor Court House
And jail liquidated nnd tho tax levy
reduced far below what it was form

of honesty, and those pledges have
been faithfully and honorably curried

AN IMPORTANT INVENTION.
William L, Powleson. the engineer
in charge f the boilers and machin
ery in the Cosmopolitan Hotel, has
lately received a patent for an im
provement in smoke-consuming fur
naces. The invention is attracting
much attention among furnace men
and others, nnd is destined to exer-' :
eise an important influence upon all
interests identified with steam ea- ;
ginooring. Tho invention consists .s
simply iu carrying steam from the ,
drum through a pipe into a super
heater and conveying ' it ' thence 11
through smaller pipes under the fur- ,
mice to four nozzles which are set in
the f rout of the tire chamber above
tho burning fuel. Each ol these
nozzles discharges ft fan-tail jet or
spray of hyurogen gas, spreading
horizontally across the burning fuel,
Thus a complete mixture of the
smoke and steam is effected and the
carbon in tho former while burning
intensifies the heat. No smoke es
capes, it being all consumed by this
process. Tho How of steam is regu
lated by a stop cock to the amount
dosirod fur burning the smoke, Mr. .
Powleson having been placed in 1
charge of a furnace in which he
could got little or no draft, went to :
work a year ago and made some ex
periments to remedy the difficulty.
While thus engaged the idea of in
troducing superheated steam into tho
furnace occurred to him, and after
several attempts to do so he at last ,
mot with success. A saving of near-,
ly thirty per cent, in the amount of
fuel required the absence of all soot 1
from tbo rlucs, and the rapid creation .
of intense heat are among the princi
pal fruitsof this invention. I tn appli
cation to the smelting of ores will
greatly cheapen the cost of reduction. 1
Tlicpatont is to be applied . to the
boilers in the Pulac Hotel and also
in the Mint.r Chronicle. .
