Isaac Bromley, who knew Nenmilh
well in tlm early duysof tlio war, fro
qupiitly tnllH tlm following Htory of him.
It seni8 tlmt wlion tlm imwly elncted
Senator from Ori'gou reaclmil Washing;.
ton he was too bashful to present his
credentials and Im aworu in at ouch as
a uieiulwr of the Semite. He pent a
dty or two looking down upon the dis
1 inguinheJ liody from a seat in the gal
ttry, so u to got the hang of things a
little hefore lie ventured on tho floor.
His dillidcnce worn oil' after a little
while, and his great fund of anecdote,
his fine vein of humor, his frontier
frankness and originality of character
and manner drew around him warm
friends of hoth parties. Standing one
day in a group of Senators who had
been questioning him concerning his
adventurous life, Senator Wilson of
Massachusetts said: "I understand,
Mr. Nesraith, that you had never seen
a railroad until you came Eaat, and
that everything of that sort in the way
of modern improvements was entirely
new to you. Now, I am curious to
know what struck you as being the
most wonderful thing that met your
observation on this sido of the conti
nent!" Nesmith hesitated a momont, then
said: "Well, I spmit my first two or
three days in Washington up thero in
the gallery, looking at the Senate, and
I think what most tilled me with won
der was the thought that I, who went
off to Oregon years ago a poor, unedu
cated boy, should lie here as a member
of tlm highest legislative body in the
country. That was my greatest won
der." "Well but I don't mean that ex
actly," said Wilson, who was chiefly
curious about wlmt mechanical con
trivance or invention h.id excited most
surprise. "v liat after that most sur
prised youf
"Well," said Nesinitli, dropping his
serious manner and putting on a quiz
zical expression, "I think after tint sen
sation of surprise at being horn myself,
what excited most wonder was how tho
devil the rest of you got hero."
Nesmith was one of tho type of
primitive lorder men whoso presence
in Congress made the deliberations of
that body interesting and entertaining.
Still his language was never grotesque
nor the choice of his words uncouth,
He had the courage to write in tho bi
ographical notice which he contributed
to the Congressional Directory: "I re
ceived no education."
It is not of so much importance to
know where Moses wan when tho light
went out, or who struck Lilly Tatter
son, as it is to ascertain how some men
who havo no visible means of support
manage to live. In every town in tho
State there is a class of fellows who
toil not, neither-do they saw wood, and
yet they wear good clothes, occupy a
front scat at the circus, and have a
good time generally. They do not like
to be bothered with hard honest toil,
consequently they take a back seat
from their elevated position and look
down upon the mortal whose circum
stances in life have willed it that he
must earn his bread by the sweat of his
brow.
While Mr. Lyman was Chief Clerk
of the Treasury Department ho once
found $100,000 in an envelope that
had only two three-cent stamps on it
stuck up in ono corner. One New
York banking firm never registered
their letters. TL 7 woftlctaal $10,000
or $20,000 in a large tavelope, put two
three-cent stamps on U ind throw it in
the letter-box at the postoffice. "They
told me," said Mr. Lyman,' "they found
their losses averaged lest'than the ex
press charge would' be.' They sent
away $50,000 a week, and said it did
not pay to register or express money."

Bob Burdette says that the Lord

The Hup Crop.
'I he prospect is for a good crop this
year in the great hop.grownig nection
of Not York State, as well an in that
portion of Europe where the plant is
cultivated, and consequently for a cor
responding prevalence, of low prices
Old hop growers are of tho opinion
that the very worst thing that can hap
pen to the business is another boom
such as prevailed three years ago, when
prices went to $1 and even more per
pound. Attracted by such abnormal
profits many farmers planted hop yards,
and the result has been a depression of
prices to as lovr-ng 6 cents a "pound in
soiiin places without much prospect at
present of higher rates prevailing. , It
is calculated that the cost of hops baled
ready for market is at least 12 cents
per pound, bo the outlook is readily
seen not to bo very encouraging. The
only hopo for this year is that some
thing may yet cccur to cut tho crop
short, as from now on lo maturity is a
critical timo with the vines. But even
the bare possibility of a reduced yield
does not afford a very bright prospoct,
since large quantities of tho crop of
1884 are still m the producer's hands
awaiting a hoped-for appreciation in
value, which does not seem very prom
ising, it is very probable that manv
who went into the business attracted
by the high prices of 1883 will now
root up their yards and try some other
crop, iho history 0! hop growing is
but a repetition of many "craxea"
which periodically affect so many far
mers. There comes a year of short
crops and high prices of some one
thing. Next year everybody rushes
into that product, and tho result is nat
urally an overstocked market, low
prices and disgusted farmers. Then
the greater portion turn to something
elan, and the few that still keep on reap
a fair profit in succeeding seasons. The
wiso farmer will steer oleii of the
"booms" in any shape, and not trust
his prospects of success to a single crop
liko hops, no matter how flattering the
prospect may be. Ex.

"Expect they had some fine pupa up
at the Chicago clog show," remarked a
passenger from Ohio, ''but I have a
dog at home I wouldn't trade for tho
best of 'em."
"What breed is he?"
"Don't know exactly, but call him a
coaly."
"Collie, you moan?"
"No, I mean just what I soy coaly.
Money wouldn't buy that dog. IIo's a
cur, but we couldn't keep houso with
out him. You 8ae, several years ago I
trained him to bark at the railway
trains as they passed our honse. That's
his sole business, barking at trains. He
does just whoop her up, especially at
coal trains. .Well, he annoys tho rail
road men so that every fireman and
brakeinan on the road has sworn to kill
him. Oh, he is a valuable dog."
"I can't 800 whore the valuo comes

"Yon can't? Well, you'could if you
wan in my place and had all the coal
you could burn', and siine to sell,
thrown right off at your back door,

k Cnoh:ra Theory.
There is a theory for preventing tho
spread of cholera by inoculation. Nat
urally it has excited some interest
amorg tho medical fraternity, both in
this country and Europe. Anything
which can reasonably be claimed tt
bulfl the terrible scourge which for
centuries has bid defiance to the lest
medical skill in the world ought to
have consideration. The plan is simply
to inoculate those liable to the con
tagion with cholera virus, precisely as
persons are vaccinated lo prevent the
smallpox.' The discoverer of the sys
tem is a famous Spanish specialist of
Madrid, who claims to have success
fully demonstrated his theory at thu
hospital of San J uan de Dios, one of
thu great medical establishments of
Spain. " Tho importance of tho discov
ery, if it proves to bo what its enthusi
astic advocate assorts it ia, can scarcely
be overestimated. The plague which
has been the scourge of the civilized
world bo long will then be shorn of its
terrors, and can easily bo kept under
control. The Italian Oovern.nont last
year offered an immense sum of money
for a specifio that would check its rav
ages, and England has for years adver
tised a ftanding reward for the same
thing. So, aside from the great service'
rendered to the cause of humanity,
there is the strongest pecuniary induce
ment to encourage learned scientists in
their researches for means for , controll
ing thii terrible enemy of the human'
race.
Captured by Stonewall.''
Riding in advance of his skirmish'
line through the swamp, attended by a
few staff officers, General Jackson
found himself in the presence ot fifteen
or twenty Fedoral soldiers on outpost
duty. He judged it the part of pru
dence to assume the offensive and to
charge upon them kforo they fired up
on him. I am indebted to Major T
O. Chestney, thon Assistant Adjutant
General of Elzey's brigade for the fol
lowing: "Aa Elzey's brigade wai pres
sing forward to tho lino held by the
Confederates at tho Moody battle of
Gaines' Mill, a squad of fifteen or
twenty soldiors were t'noountered on
their way to the rear. A tall fellow
at the head of the little party drew
speciil attention to himself by singing
out to us at the top of his voice:' "Gen
tlemen, w? had the honor of lieing cap
tured by Stonewall Jackson himself"'
a statement which ho repeated with1
evident pride all alon? the line as our
men tramped past We subsequently
learned that this story was true. Gen
eral Jackson, having ridden some dis-'
tanoe in advance, had come suddenly
upon tho bluecoatrf, and' with his char
acteristic impetuosity had charged
among them and ordered them to sur
render,' wliich they made haste to do.'

A short time before Rosenthal com

by tU high words that' ensued.' Im

they had driven him to his death, and '
thence took his own 'life. Rosenthal'
