She stood beside the counter, The day he'll ne'er forget, She thought the muslin dearer Than any she'd seen yet; He watched her playful fingers The silks and satin toss; The shopman looked uneasy, And looked a little cross. "Show me some velvet ribbon, Barege and Satin ture," She said) "I want to purchase!" Then gave the goods a jerk. The shopman, all obedience, 'Brought satins, silks and crape; At length, with hesitation, She bought a yard of fcape! A FASTIDIOUS BOARDER. One of the proprietors of the moun tain house in the town of Woodstock in the Catskllls, received a letter the other day from a lady inquiring very particularly about his house and what accommodations he had for genteel boarders. She said she had written to twenty different mountain houses, and had received answers from most of them, but their places, so fur, did not suit her, as the society was not sufficiently polished. ' She desires a room on the northerly side ofthe house, with ceilins not less tnan eight feet iu height, the win dows commanding a broad and . pansive view of farm lands and mountains. She enquired. "Have you a piano in your house? I do so dearly love music that 1 could not possibly do without it Are your boarders as a rule cultured people? Rave they a classic air? I could dot exM without classic society. Are there any mos quitos around your house? Is there a pond near that contains noisy, sing ing frogs? I desire to know tins par ticularly, as the croaking of frogs did terribly annoy me last season. She closed the letter by saying "that she could not pay more than $5 per week and if his answer to his question was eati factory, she would engaie a room ot him for a few weeks the lat ter part of July." The proprietor having no room in his house for less than ftfi nor wpdv- i hough somewhat amused at the let ter, fini not care :o answer it, but finally one of the boarders thought a reply was necessary, so he wrote to the lady. He told her, as an index of the culture and classic style of the guests who had visited the house for the past season, he could name Joa quin Miller, the poet of the Sierras; den. L. S. Grant, Susan B. Anthony, Koscoe Conkling, Dr. Mary Walker, Jefferson Davis with the author of "Beautiful Snow," Henrv Ward Beechcr, Wm. L. Vanderbilt, accom panied by Maud S.; and for further eoommendation he would refer her to them or either of them. They had no piano but plenty of thunder. Mosquitos were in abundance, and n fact it was one of the most noted characteristics of the hotel, and one ot the reasons why it was such a fa vorite resort, as invalids did not re quire either doctor or leaches. These birds took the place of physicians in egard to blood-letting, and when killed and served with toast, were considered by epicures as a dish un equalled in richness. There are bull frogs, it is true," said the writer. "I wish to be frank with you, but they are so thorough- y trained that by the use of electric ity we can produce the finest concert music in the world. Their voices are rich, deep and mellow, they have be come famous, and this is another at traction of the house that has given it a reputation even in far-off lands." An answer has not been received but it seems the "menu" should be sufficient to satisfy the most fastidi ous. TELEGRAMS, On the morning of the 17th ins't while W. O. McGill one of the enards of the jail at Washington D. C. where Guitteau is con fiued on entering his cell found the assassin in possession of a knife. Guitteau refused to surrender it. McGill drew a pistol, a 1 hard tussle immediately followed in which m uuitteau made every etlort to get the pistol. lie succeeded in getting it during the srtug gle, but McGill afterwards gained posses sion of it. In the scuffle the weapon was discharged and the report brought other guards to the assistance of McGill when Guitteau was disarmed, but it was not until after he had succeeded in cutting McGiH's clothing badly and camenearly inflicting a dangerous wound about the throat. The World's special from Washington says there was rumors on the 17th inst. that the secretary of state has a call for a special session of the senate signed by the president and ready to be issued. There is good rea son for believing this rumor to be well founded. Farmers will do well to call on me before making arrangements elsewhere v!8n27yl. A jolly dutchman a few days ago on the steamer Gold Dust coming down the Columbia river at the time the accident happened, filling the boat full of steam, became fearful that the boat might sink. After much trouble he succeeded i life preserver large enough to fit him. While he was trying to blow it up a young fellow standing by said: "You can't fill that with wind; it leaks. Don't you hear it sizz?" "Ish dot so?" ho Veil I dinks, den, I petter keep dot vind in mynself." James Pariah was robbed of seventh-five dollars while at sleep in Albany lately. On the 18th the president was suffering from information of the right parotid gland. It is not known how it may effect the case. There arrived in this country during July 56,607 immigrants, against 49,855 in July 1860. Hartman, the Russian uihilist, has been at Chicago since Wednesday last and as h was leaving for Detroit was interviewed by a Tribune reporter. He said that he had traveled under an assumed name to avoid Russian spies who are constantly dogging him; that he did not come to revolutionize this country, but go investigate certain points; that he intends to remain some months, but that so far he is not favorably impressed with the system ot government here, which is on too small 3 pattern and of too common an order for a model. Advices have been received at the inter! or department from Indian Agent Hunt at Anadarko, Indian territory, announcing the discovery of rich, extensive silver fields near Fort Sill, within the hmits of the Kiowa. Comanche and Wichita Indian reservation. Hunt also informs the department that ille gal attempts are being made by white men to locate mineral claims in that region. Archbishop Croke strongly recommends that the people give the land bill a fair trial and accept it as a great boon and blessing A dispatch states that yellow fever con tinues to rage in the French colony of Sen egal, West Africa. Up to the 8th inst. there had been 80 deaths. An anti-Jewish disturbance in the district of Pnlsva, southern Russia, led to a fatal collision between troops and a mob. Nearly all the business houses of the town of Yale, Victoria, three hotels, jail, court house and reidences have been swept away. Fire broke out in the Caledonia hotel and swept everything before it. The great run of sockeye salmon is pr ic- ticaliy over, the total pack will not ex ceed 90,000 cases. Sir Charles Tupper, minister of railways and canals tor the Dominion or Canada, accompanied by a party of friends, arrived m aan francisco enroteto .British Columbia The object of his visit is to inspect the Pa cific section of the Canada Pacific railroad to examine the condition and progress of the work and the location of that portion of the road between Burrard inlet aud Yale, and from there on to Kamloops. Under the agreement entered into, the syndicate have to build and complete the road by July 1, 1891. On this being done they will enter into possession, the dominion government paying them $,000,009 cost and 25,000, 000 acres of land. . Sir Charles Tupper states that the object or the delegate sent by the British Colum bian government to England was to induce the British government to urge the Domin ion government to construct a line of rail road from Esquimau, on Voncouver island, to Nanaimo, the center of the island coal district. The party expect to leave for Vic toria tomorrow, going by way of Portland. H. B. Slavens has just returned from Panama to San Francisco, and reports that contracts for building stations along the line of the canal are under way and that many engineering parties are in the field. Ship ments of lumber from San Francisco have been recently made. One schooner took down 1,000,000 feet. The steamer Grana da, on her last trip, took down 800,000 feet, ouu KjaLLuia. ow,wu ieew 2n Victim ana Empire, on the Atlantic side, heavy work is under way. Slaven 4 Co, hold a con tract for building a house at each station for the accommodation of laborers, and are sen ding skilled workmen by every steamer. The firm has 150 men on the isthmus. The force at present employed in canal work proper, aside from engineering parties, does not exceed 200 laborers. Preliminary work is not yet fihished. Capt. H. W. Howgate appeared before U. S. commissioner Bundy on the 18th to answer charges preferred by Gen'l Haven, chief signal officer of the United States, of embezzling $40,038 while acting as disburs ing officer of the signal service. The case was postponed until Saturday and bail fixed at $40,000. Morrilton, a small village fifty miles from Little Rock, Arkansas is in great excitement over anticipated colision be tween co'ord and white citizens. Trouble originated about a negro abusing some white children. A day or two after the the mother of the children met the negro and gave him a terrible beating. A negro precher took the part of the assaulted negro. Feeling ran high, the friends of both parties ranging themselves on either side. Several street rights occurred more or less serious, but the determined stand of offiicers pre vented fatal termination. A large number of special policemen were sworn in to pro tect life and property, colored people hav ing threatened to burn the town. London, Aug. 18. In the commons debate on motion to go into supply continued. Forster, chief secretary for Ireland, in his speech said that nobody was more anxious than the government to release- the land league prisoners, but before Jhis "is done they must be convinced that peace and order could be maintained without resort to ex ceptional powers. If influential men in Ireland would follow Archbishop Croke's example, there would soon be an end to all dificulty. Let them give the land bill a fair trial, and if they had a fair trial the govern ment would be willing to concur in an appeal made to abandon the powers granted under the coercion act. txerman, home ruler, erpre er be union between the opin ion mat tnere could never bt England- and Ireland until the clique at Dublin Castle was raised, bog and baggage. Gladstone said that the government had been asked why they did not submit the case of those who offended against the law to the tribunes of the country. This was exactly what had been done; bat such was the state of Ireland that its judicial system was rendered nugatory. The government would be only too glad if they saw that the time had arrived to release the prisoners; but during the debate threats had been used that unless the prisoners are released there would be no fair trial of the land bill. This sort of language could certainly have no force in consideration of the government's duty. It was not by defiant speeches nor by the tone adopted by those who pointed across the Atlantic as the land from which the woes of Ireland would be assuaged, that the government would be induced to accel erate by one day the opening of prison doors. The paramount duty of the government was preservation of law and order. The Times says that the failure of ne gotiations with France for anew commercial treaty must result in a serious onrtailment of our trade with her. A good fifth part of her foreign trade will be annihilated by her own act and along with it, cordiality and good will. St. Petersburg, Aug. 16. Ratification of the Russo-Chinese treaties will be exchanged to-morrow. The whole document contains 15,000 words, of which the following is a summary: Russia retains a portion of the Kuldja territory, extending to the river Korgos ami continued by an imaginary line stretching to Thian Shan China. This dis trict is destined to receive inhabitants who may choose to adopt the Russian nationality, which they are at liberty to do until the moment of the surrender of territory. Sur render is to be effected immediately after news of ratification of the treaty is received at Kuldja. China grants complete amnesty to all inhabitants of Kuldja who may have been politically compromised by their con duct during the occupation. The valley of the Ilia is restored to China. Zongari, which Russian vessels had the right of nav igating up to a certain point, again becomes independent. Russian vessels will be tol erated on it as before the Chung How treaty. Frontiers on the eist of Lake Sizean will be rectified so as to seperate Russian Kirgiz from Chinese Kirgiz. Russia secures an indemnity of nine million roubles in species for the cost of occupation and damage to Russian merchants, who are then to with draw. All this is in the political treaty. The commercial convention provides that Russians are to be entitled to trade freely on both slopes of the Thian Shan as far as the great wall. A tariff will be drawn when commerce is established on a regular basis and at Thian Shan a Russian consulate may be stationed and an accession granted to Tliioya Kirau gate, which at this point gives access through the wails to eighteen provin ces of China. Russian caravans will have to stop there at present. They are allowed to proceed as far as Hankou, on the Yahgtse Kians. Russia is also to have a consul at Urga, an the Mongolian frontier, and Rus sians are to have right of opening a goods station between Keanchta and Thian Shan. Cologne, Aug. 19. At the international law conference to-day David Dubely Field introduced a resolution that it is desirable in extradition treaties where political crimes are excepted, that provisions be inserted that neither assassinations nor attempted assassinations as a means to effect change of government or redress of grievances shall be excepted as a political crime within the meaning of the treaty, and that the privilege of asylum be denied the perpetrators of any such crime. Field says that it was the fee ling among Americans that assassination should be stamped out. The resolution, was earned by acclamation. Tunis, Aug. 19. The country is in a dan gerous state. Bands of deserters aud Arabs are collecting and telegraph wires are cut in all directions.

STATEJiEWS, A band house is to be erected on the land of Mr. Jacob Fritz at the Dalles, where that conclave of musicians can meet and rehearse. Fifty car loads of freight, consisting of wheat, flour and wool, were received at the wharf boat on the 13th and 14th at the Dalles. Nimrod Price near Aldany, has just harvested 60 acres of wheat that has aver aged a little over 40 bushels to the acre. Miss Georgia Carpenter and Miss Elva Breyman are spending the summer on the farm of Dr. Carpenter, near Turner. Statesman. The body of Mr. Holden of Portland, who was drowned at Ilwaco lately was found last week about a half mile from where the drowning occurred. The body of Theodore Potts, the fireman who was drowned some time since by fall ing overboard from the Gold Dust, was found on Tuesday of last week near Klick itat landing. One hundred and five car loads of railroad iron and material were sent to the front be tween the 7th and 14th of the present month on the Oregon railroad Co's road. A large force of carpenters went down last evening to work on the station houses to be built at 'Millers, Alkali and Cayotc. These station houses will be neat structures. Walla Walla Statesman. The steamer Calliope came np into Van couver Lake last Thursday after a barge load of railroad ties, but before getting out some of the engine machinery became disabled. A man by the name of Lafayette Harpoole while in an intoxicated and druged condition was robbed of $909,50 by a party who followed him out of town for the purpose and took it from him while in a stupor. A man at the woodshed near the depot at Albany, shot himself in the mouth with a pistol. It is thought by some that he in tended to commit siucide. But he claims that it was purely accidental. There are eight vessels at Port Blakely and more expected soon. Four arrived within an hour last Friday evening, viz: Otago, under sail, schooner Jordan, brig Tanner and a German bark. Oorgonian. H. C. Perkins, swamp land agent for the state passed through Lakeview Thursday on his way to Salem. "What law has been the greatest terror to evil-doers since the world began? The mother-in-law." The rust is doing considerable damage near Cayote, in Lane county, but mostly on late sown wheat, and that sown on low land. Says the Astorian the Oregon Railway and Navigation company now have over one thousand feet in continuous line of ware house in Astoria. Mrs. Emery Rauch,' living on what is known as the old Henry Hogan place in Lane county, has growing in her garden a raddish that measures 25 inches around it. Eugene Guard. The American ship Levi P. Burgess sailed from Philadelphia on 'the 12th, laden with railway iron for Aastoria. She has two lo comotives on board for the Northern Pacific Railway company. Astorian. The Bedrock Democrat, of Baker City sayi that the community there have lost 100 head of horses by horse thieves, and the people there have made up a purse of $1000 for their arrest and conviction. A correspondent from Olex Rock River Oregon writing to the Albany Register says a Miss Record, from California, but former ly a resident of Corvallis, was recently mar ried here to a gentleman from Goldeudale. Reno Gazette, Aug. 1 1 There are 430 "men at work on the Nevada & Oregon railroad, and the body of the force has now reached the end of the second five mile section. The next section will be ten miles in length and work will be commenced immediately. This is the last wedding announcement made by the Silverton Appeal: The mar riage of Miss C. U. Cumber and Mr. Payne Killer is announced to take place. Mr. U. Gripe and Miss Bell Y. Ache will act as groomsman and bridesmaid. On Saturday night a lamp exploded on the stage at Columbia Hall, Olympia. just as Prof. Tanner was about to begin his Zither concert, setting fire to the carpet and flies. A stampede ensued, but 110 one was hurt. The fire was extinguished without doing any serious damage. Says theJStatesmau, It is reported that one of the exporting firms of Portland bought over a quarter of a million bushels of wheat, in and about Walla Walla last week; the prevailing price paid was fifty cents per bushel to the farmer, besides the cost of the sack. A few weeks ago it was announced that at least 200 acre3 of wheat belonging -to Jo Watt, of Amity, was so injured by worms that he would not be able to secure more than 1,000 bushels from the land. It now turns out, we are informed, that he will secure about 6000 bushels. -Statesman. While Richards Bros, were threshing on the farm of A. G. Roberts, in Polk county, flames burst out just back of the cylinder, and in a flash the whole thing burned to the ground. The fire is supposed to have orig inated by friction caused by the machinery running at such a rate. Says the State Rights Democaat, Rev. T. B. White informs us that there is consider able rust near Irving's in Lane county, and also a little of it over in the Long Tom country. It is only in patches of jan acre or so and seems to effect the early sown spring grain wone than any other. Last week the team of Maj. J. A. Kress, at Vancouver, became uneasy from the ef fects of getting into a hornets nest and ran away, throwing his seven year old daughter out of the carriage into a heap of burning logs, burning her severely. While Mr. Lewis Hager, who lives near Dayton, W. T., was in town on Sunday of last week, for medicine for one of his chil- dren who was sick with diptheria, his house caught fire and was entirely consumed. Whin he returned Mr. H. found his family seeking protection from the weather in the brush. Standard. Female printers pop fthe question to the male typos by simply handing them an in terrogation point (?). If the latter intends to embrace the oportunity and accept, they return a brace, thus j ", but if they wish to decline, and dash the cup of hap piness from the fair one's lips, they hand over a dash . Says the Statesman, the walls of the new insane asylum are rapidly assuming shape and proportion. The entire structure will be under roof by the first of January if no untoward circumstances intervtne. The building will be imposing and massive in extreme, a fit emblem of the care bestowed by a pitying commonwealth upon its most unfortunate and helpless citizens. From a Portland exchange we learn that a man at the Norton House, on last Thursday, attempted to commit rape upon the person f a six year old girl whose par ents were guests at that hotel. This is the third time that this heinous crime has been attempted in the space of a very short time. Only a short time since one man was sent to the penitentiary for 5 years, land Hoyt from Astoria was sentenced for 20 Tyears for the same offence. We believe generally the routine of courts and trial by jury is the best manner in which to punish offenders. But in cases like the above it might produce a wholesome degree of fear which would be of everlasting benifit to society if a few of such beastly criminals could be found dang ling from the end of a rope within about ten minutes after they had committed such, an act.
