The dreeley Campaign.
When Greeloy was the presidential
candidate bis supporters dubteO bim
"honest old Iloraco;" tho opposition, re
membering bis bail to Jefferson Davis,
whom most abolishonists wished hang,
called bim "old bail-bonds." "Grant
beat Davis," they slid, "Greeley bailed
him." Ho was named "Horrors
Greeley" and his homely manners were
made the subject of innumerable jests.
Cartoons, which played a great figure in
this campaign, ridiculously exaggerated
his corpulency. On the unfortunate B.
Gratz Brown the stalwarts heaped the
worst disgrace which a political candi
date can receive, that of being ignored.
His views and his record were scarcely
ever mentioned; only bis bare name
came before the public. In every car
toon by Nast where Greeley was repre
sented, a tag bearing the legend, "and
Grants Brown," bung from his coat tail.
Carl Scburz aud Whitelaw Keid, both
fighting Greeleyitcs, were pictured with
classical and pedantic features, eye
glasses big as tea cups, and leg3 10 feet
long, The Greeley press made Grant
call to bis intimates to bid him good bye
as be sang: "My friends have gone to
Cbappaqua, 0b, put me in my little
bed." Chappaqua was Greeley's coun
try residence. How many democrats
about Roseburg voted for Greeloy we are
unable to say. -S.
What It Means.
One of the moat important railroad
projects in tho United States is that of
the Astoria road. Its building means a
great deal to tho northwest. It is well
set forth in the following statement by a
prominent man to the Portland Sun;
"It is only necessary to glancot a map
to see that the mouth of the Columbia
river is the proper'point from which the
grain of the Willamette valley, Eastern
Oregon and Washington should be
shipped to foreign ports. Astoria is
nearer to the farms'oniwhleb the grain is
grown, and it is further by COO miles for
a ship to go to thef sound fora cargo than
to load at Astoria, including 300 miles
towage at Seattle, as against 20 miles at
Astoria. He states that every man, vro
man and child in Portland, the Willam
ette valley, along the banks of the Col
umbia, and in Eastern Oregon and
Washington is vitally interested in the
building of .the road to Astoria. It makes
an outlet to market for grain at the low
est possible cost, as the roads will lay the
grain down in Astoria at the same rate
they now charge to Portland, it opens a
market ol lower rates for the product of
the timber lands on the lower Columbia
and will enable the packers of salmon
and other fish to load their wares on cars
direct that will go through to destination,
without transfer. Albany.
Country vs. Creamery Butter.
A subsbriber to the Pacific Farmer
wishes to know why creamery butter
always outsells the best of-farm or dairy
butter in our markets. There are two
reasons: The one most apparent to the
common observer and one most com
mented upon is that creamery butter is
sold in such large quantities and is so
uniform that it establishes its reputation,
and the reputation as much as the article
sells it. The other reason, and the one
overlooked by most people who comment
on the subject is very different. The
taraier who makes good butter, and 13
near enough a market large enough to
handle good creamery but'er in large
quantities, does not have to sell to the
grocer. He sells to the private customer
the year round at a good figure, conse
quently his butter does not come in com
petition with tho high-priced creamery;
it is the poorer class of the country but
ter, the poor imported butter, and the
poor creamery butter which is labeled
country" to help keep up the prices of
best creamery. in the houses doing the
beet business. In plain woids the best
farm butter does not sell in tho market
for less than the best creamery, because
private families get it before it reaches
the market.

Followed Suit.
A Portland girl, with lour married sis
ters, received a proposal of marriage re
cently, and asked a week to think it
over. She went to see all her married
sisters. One, who used to be a belle,
had three children, did all her own
work, and had not been to the theatre or
out riding since she was married.
Another, whose Ini.-tbatnl was a promis
ing young man at the time th married,
was supjiurting him. A third did not
dare say hor life was her owu when her
husband was around and tli3 fourth was
divorced. And nfler hearing their
woes, tho heroine of this uarrative went
homo, got pen, ink and paper, and
wrote an answer to tho young man.
She accepted him, and alio could be
ready for tho ceremony within a month.

FIRES IN JAPAN.
Dot For Open Spaces the Japanese Cities
Would Barn Up.
One of tho quaintest sights in Japan
is a fire. Hundreds of houses are often
burned in tho space of a few hours, and
little or nothing can be dono to stop the
progress of the flames, especially on a
windyday. If yon except the roof, which
is made of hies, Japanese houses are
bnilt entirely of straw wood, bamboo
and paper. In the poorer districts houses
aro packed close together, and therefore
if one happens to catch fire sometimes
the whole street is burned down with
incredible rapidity, and the fire only
stops at somo open space where it can
not possibly spread farther. It is not un
usual in Tokyo or some of tho larger
towns to hear of a thousand or even
more houses having been destroyed in
an afternoon or during the night
No ono is more afraid of fires than the
Japanese, and high ladders are posted at
short intervals all over the towns and in
all the larger villages, on the top of
which ladders a watchman sit3 all night
and in case of fire rings a large bell
hanging from tho top. If rung at long
intervals, tho fire is distant, and one
need not worry oneself about turning
out of one's fountangs. If rung a little
quicker, tho firo is not far, but there
need be no apprehension. Bnt if the bell
is vigorously and quickly tolled then
you may as well say good by to your
house, because in perhaps a few minutes
it will be reduced to a mass of ashes.
Tho Japanese are wonderful at turn
ing out at all hours of the night, even
for going to look at a fire, and men, wo
men and children in the coldest nights
in winter think nothing of walking five
or six miles to go and look at a big
blaze. If the fire happens to be near, the
excitement increases in proportion to the
probability of one's house being burned
down. You see people half scared and
screaming, getting water wherever they
can in pails, wash basins, tubs or any
thing they can lay hold of and throw
ing it all over tho woodwork so as to
diminish the chances of its catching firo.
Then as the fire draws nearer, and the
only water available has already been
consumed, tho process of saving what
one can is put into practice. The amido,
or wooden shutters, and tho sholjis, pa
per walls, are quickly taken down and
brought into a safe place; the mats are
lifted out of their places, and with the
few articles of furniture aro quickly re
moved. So that when tho fire comes it
only destroys the wooden frame of the
house and the roof. That is alL It is
seldom that life is lost in these fires, ex
cept sometimes when children or old
peoplo are unable to move, and once
surrounded by flames they cannot be
reached and often perish. Tokyo Let

The Briton Complains, Brakes and Scolds'
In His Daily JonrnaU "
The newspaper is a member cSf- 'tbd
family in England and regularly cbmea
to breakfast with tho other members.
The London Times is a kind of oldest
son among newspapers, and Punch the
jolly bachelor uncle, who makes occa
sional visits. Englishmen take their
newspapers into theii confidence and
have a half way of writing to them on
all sorts of subjects. If an Englishman
rows' down tho Thames and stops for
luncheon at an inn and is overcharged,
he writes to his newspaper, just as a lit
tle boy runs in to complain to his
mamma of the rough treatment of his
playmates, and later on the first letter
is followed by others, in which the com
parative merits and cost of light lunch
eons on the continent, in Seringapa
tam, in Kamchatka and everywhere
else where Englishmen have eaten and
drunk and where have they not done
these? is discussed an fond. If horses
stumble and fall in Rotten row, there
are letters on tho subject which go into
the matter of roadbuilding, modern
horsemanship and the like, with quota
tions from Virgil and anecdotes of acci
dents that happened half a century ago.
Not only the more serious weekly, but
also the daily nowspapers, give ono the
impression that they feel themselves to
some extent responsible for tho contem
porary auditing of tho accounts of the
day of judgment. On tho other hand,
the better class of English newspapers
do not indulgo in rash suppositions,
hasty generalizations, uncertain guesses
at probable future happenings and the
daily exploitation of the personal affairs
of notorious nobodies. And ono may
be permitted to say diffidently that per
haps this is preferable. If Mr. Balfour,
for example, wero to go abroad for a
holiday, it would bo considered vulgar
to chronicle his doings and dinings and
absolutely brutal and boorish to write
particulars"bf tho dress and behavior of
his sister, or his wife, if ho had one.

sportsmen does not permit an editor to

A Question of Recognition.
Miss Kitty Mamma, will we know
folks in heaven samo as we do here?
Mamma I think there is no doubt of
that, my dear.
"Will I know Jane Gopplins?"
"Who is Jano Gopplins?"
"She's tho big freckled girl that lives
over the grocery store down the street"
"If you aro both good enough togo to
heaven, my dear, you will certainly
know her."
(After somo moments of profound
cogitation) "I won't have to speak to
her, will I, mamma?" Chicago Trib

The elderly gentleman was getting a
pair of shoes, and tho clerk was striving
to please.
"You have an elegant foot, sir,"

across tho instep.
"Um," sniffed the old gent, eying
him narrowly, "I guess yon ain't the
chap that was coming to see my daugh
