Matrimonial Checkers.
Up to tli roe evenings ago such a
thinir us a checker board wai uerei
in Mr. Urattan'a house. He and Lis
aged partner had managed to pass
the long evenings very plcsuntly, aud
he supposed they were happy until a
friend from tho East paid lliciu a Hy
ing visit, nnd asserted over and ever
again tlmt the game of checkers was
not only tho rage there, but that it
served to quicken the perceptive lao
culties, enlarge tho mind, aud render
the brain mere active. Alter giv
ing tho subject due thought, Mr.
Graltau walked down town nnd pur-clis'-cda
checker .board, and when
evening tamo he mirprised liis good
wife by bringing it i from tho wood
shed, and saying:
"Well, Martha, we'll have a game
or two before we go to the seoial.
I expect to beau you all to Hinturs,
but you wen't care."
''Of course not, and if I beat you
why you won't care," she replied.
They sat down, and he churned the
first moye. She at onco objected,
but when he began to grow red in the
face he yielded and he led ell. At the
fourth move (die teok a man, chuck
ling as she raked him in.
"I don't au anything to grin at,"
he sneered as lie moved a man back
ward.
"Here! you can't move that way,"
she called out.
"I can't, eh t Perhaps I novor play
ed checkers before you were born J"
She saw a chance to jump two
more men and gave iu the point, but
as she moved he cried out:
"Put them men right back thero I
have concluded not to move back
ward, even it lloylo does permit it
She srave in omuii, but when lie
tojk a man ber uoso
irrnar rail nml
she cried:
"I didn't mean to movo there. 1
was thinking of the social !"
"Can't help the social, Martha
we must go by lloyle."
In about two minutes she jumped
two men and went iuto the king row,
shouting:
"Crown him! crown him! I've got
a king I"
'One would Hunk by your cniidisn
acliens that you never played a game
before, he growled.
"I know enough to beat you ! '
"Yeu do, eh V" Some people ore
awlyt smart !
n'And some folks am t, she snap
ped, as the kiug captured unother
man.
"What in thunder are you jumping
that way for V
"A king tan jump any way."
"No he can't!"
"Yes he can!"
"Don't talk to me, Martha Grattan!
I was playing checkers when you
were in tho cradle!"
"I don't care! I can jump two men
which ever way you move."
He looked down on the board, saw
that such was tho case, and roared
out:
"You've niovod twice t my nee!"
"I haven't!"
"I'll tako my oath you have! I
can t play against sucu DiacKieg prao-
tices!"
"Who's a blackleg? You not only

Stayton correspondence: Crops
generally look well, but some of the
farmers on tho Sanliam bottom look
very blue, as much of the land that it
was their intention to have sown in
wheat nnd oats will lie idle from the
fact that the ground is too wet, and
from present indications will be tor
soma time. The fruit crop has been
considerably injured by the late
frosts, particularly the cherrios and
plums.
Dallas Itemizor: After a full sup
ply of rainy and disagreeable weather,
the sun shone out on Wednesday, to
the delight of all. The wet weather
has prevented some farmers from nut
ting in all the grain they wished to,
but it is likely that the copious rains
will improve tho growth of tho spring
sown grain, while in some places it
may cause a too rank growth of grain
put iu last fall. Taken altogether,
tho prospects tor large crop in this
county wore never better.
Corvallis Gazette: Never, in the
history of J!uton county, has the
tide of immigration set this way so

the cheering prospect ot railroad con

counts for our rapid increase of popu
lation. W ilhin twelve months, if our
pvop e could see and work tor their
own best interests, we could have the
population ot our county doublod,
an l enjoy unprecedented good times.
Oak Grove correspondence: The
prospects for a crop the coming bar
vest were never better, although tho
cold rains tlmt wo have had the last
few weeks damaged the fall sown
grain to somo extent, though wheat
as a general thing looks well. So far
as we hear tho prospects lor an unex
ampled yield remain gooa. n is pos
sible that the harvest w'll bo two or
three weeks latter than last season.
Times are hard, but farmers can koep
up good courage over tho prospects

Cetjwayo'i Idea of Hell.
An enterprising reporter of the
Uitonhage Tunes has interviewed a
bloodthirsty Zulu, who told tho fol'
lowing remarkable and amusing
story:
Seme years since a missionary went
to King Cetywayo's krasl with a
view to converting him and his peo
ple to Christianity. He stayed there
a tuw davs. and the kin? agreed to
j j j,
hear him on the following Sunday.
rill c 1,.. 1 . . .
11IC CHIUUliy ni l IV en, mo auig gamer-
ed his people tognther nud also called
up two of his regiments to hear what
message had been brought to him
from tho white men. The missiona
ry, being told that they wer ready
to listen to him, rose and delivered
an elegant but shortsermon,in whioli
he set firth the beauties of heaven as
compared to those of tho dark re
gions. He told thorn that if they
lived a good lifo, did not steal, always
spoke tho truth, and, above all, kept .
only one wife, they would after neath
go to the happy hunting grounds,
where they would never miss their
game, whore they would never die,
but be forever and ever na pier vnan
they wero even in their happiest mo
ments here; whereas, on the other
hand, if they lived a bad life and did
what ho hail inst told them they
ought not to do, they would be oast
into a tremendous lire, so large inai
it would Boorch up the whole of tte
Zulu nation, though they were as nu
merous as the locusts, in a few mo
ments. The king and his people paid
great attention to all tho missionary
said to him nnd when be had finished
tho king asked him to dine with him.
He accepted the invitation but during
the dinner noticed the people running
about in all directions collecting
wood which they were piling up in
one spot. The missionary began to
fool miner: ha thought It looked omi
nous; and tho Zulu who told the story,
said ho noticed he did not eat any
but continued to take largu
draughts of milk as if to cool himself.
Tho dinnor was at leiigtn over; uut,
before urisintr the king turnod sharp
ly around to the now affrighted run
sionary and said: "What wai that
vnn said this niorniuz about putting -
the groat Zulu people in a great fire
alter they are dead r liomi mis way,
aad I will show you what the Zulu
are; you don't koow them I can see."
He took him to the pile) of wood,
which had by this time readied tre
mendous proportions as big ai a
hay stack the Zulu said and had it
sot fire to all around. When it was
properly in a blaze, and gave out so
much heat that no one could come
near it, the king summoned the two
regiments who had listened to the
sermon an ordered them to charge
into the burning pile aud extinguish
u. .Naked as tney were wimoui
shoes or covering os they were, they
rimhaii into the buruiiiiz ruass like
mailmen, raving aud yelling, and not
stop till hardly a vestige ol w nre
remained. The kiug then said to tho
missionary: 'You have seen that.
That is what we will do wun your
boll. The Zulu will not play with
your fires, and you had better clear
out of this country at once, or I will
have "a little fire made for you to
put out." The missionary took the
hint, and left thu kraal the sumo oven-
inr. Is il any wonder, asK people
