Christmas Day in Manila
The following from the Mauila Soldier
:,given as a letti-r lione from one of the
soldiers, and is quite suggestive :
Dear Moll It's Christmas day,
But you wouldn't think it to see the
way
These native dress on a winter's day,
It would make you shiver if I told
you now
But 1 wouldn't do it as I don't know how,
I couldn't explain in the proper form
Without you'd see the way 1 was born.
I can see you all at the old home
there,
Eating the turkey and even my share.
But I blame you not for your appe
tites fine,
As I know how it was, ence on a time.
i can stay nere and stay nere, as
long as they wish,
But when I get home, I'll not again be a
tish.
So here's to you all, with a moral
you know,
Stay home while your there and you'll
ever eat crow.
Jack Allphin.
of
The Oregonian publishes a picture
Jack Allphin, of Toledo, well known in
Linn county, and gives the following
sketch of his life 1,
M. J. Allphin was born in Franklin
county, Kentucky November 27, 1828.
He was a bushwhacker in the Indian
wars of 1847-48 and 1&5. He was a dele
gate to every democratic territorial con
vention held in Oregon. He always
takes an active part in politics, but has
never been a candidate for office. He is
now a gold-standard democrat. He was
in Hancock county, Illinois, during the
Mormon trouble in 1847, and was pres
ent when Joe and Hi mm Smith, Mor
mon elders, tried to make their escape
from a log jail, which resulted in their
death. Mr. Allphin. although 70 years
of age, is as hale and hearty as a man of
50. He has a great memory, and his
tales of pioneer life are interesting to his
many friends.
Winter Doings.
Yesterday was devoted almost tntirely
by our citisens of all ages to skating, part
ies were formed, going to Monleith's
pasture and to Thornton'g lake across the
river, where the best ice wat found. Last
evening large crowd gathered on tbe
Monteith pasture ice and spent several
tours in the most invigorating sport
known. Skating is a rare thing in this
valley and when it comes it is quite nec
essary to make it a business while it
lasts.
Ice I rose n in many and picturefque
forma, in tbe rear of the Msguolia mills
has attracted attention and Mr Lorenzo
Grey as guidd has had his hands full
showing visitors 'he scenery. In other
places there have been presented some
pretty scenes. Home excellent photo
graphs were secured and will be I ept as
mementoes ol this cold snap that Hopped
over tbe mountains into this warm val
ley. Several eleiahs have been kept run
ning ana many have enjoyed rides over
tbe bumpy roads covered with enough
snow to tall it sleighing, much prefera
ble though to wagons.
There are froten pipes all over the city
and tbe thaw means manv bursts.
A Chinook struck Albany this morn

on Wednesday of last week is fast being

- The present skating has brought np
the question of how fast a man can trav
el on the ice. One young man had a
relative who waa reported to have skated
twenty miles in half an hour. Inasmuch
as the record for twenty miles made by
A. D. Smith is 1 hr., 6 min. and 3d 2-6
sec, this waa indeed fast. ' Tbe record
lor one mile was made by Tim Donobue
in 2 min., 12 3-5 sec. with the wind at
his back. Last Saturday at Xewberg
