His Experience Shopping in New York City. But 1 started out in my poor, weak way to speak of the matter of shop ping. I have shopped in New Y’ork ami also in the West. In New York I did not enjoy it. In fact, I rarely go shopping in New York, preferring to go to an interior town, where goods are tnarktxl low ami the cracker barrel within reach of all. I went into a large and teeming mart of trade and frill emporium on Twenty-third strict, oue hot day last summer to buy a pair of suspenders. I did not wish to buy them liecause I was vatu, nor with the idea of emphasizing the great gulf be tween myself and those who had been denied suspenders. It was as a plain American citizen, who desired to sub mit to the harsh demands of a false but inexorable hot house air of metro politan society law. that went in at the side door of that place. I did not vaunt. I was not puffed up. I did not behave myself in Hn unseemly- manner. 1 did not intend to give the goods public recognition through th« press. I did not intend to wear them on the outside. My idea was simply to go in quietly, select a young woman who was worthy of confidence, call her away from the vulgar herd and tell her I had y ielded to the false and cruel custom of a sin-cursed metropolis — that I had decided to adopt the effemi nate and artificial manners of civiliza tion, and would like to see a pair of red suspenders with blue ends. In former years I had Ixiught goods of General Worth at Laramie City, who kept a general store, a hotel and a clear-eyed bull-dog, all in one room. The general played chess and colored his whiskers. He did almost every thing except keep a store, rnun hotel or extract people from his bull dog. Iu this way customers got in the habit of waiting on themselves and making a memorandum of it in the bright, crisp atmosphere. General Worth had been a masculine saleslady in New Y’ork when he was young, and so w hen anybody came in and spoke about buying anything he began to regard him with suspicion and treat him shamefully, and try to “sick” the dog on him; but after a while he would run out of profanity and resume his chess and beg jieople to wait on themselves and not come in there right in the middle of the day when they knew very well he was playing chess and couldn’t get away. So we all got in the habit of waiting on ourselves, and I acquired notions of credit which in New York do not obtain. I went into the great surging Twen ty-third street convention of good clothes, a lone man borne on the breast of a big tide of humanity of an extremely and diametrically different sex from my own. I tried to get out, but a large and prosperous lady in black satin, and weighing much more than she looked to. stood on one of my feet as if to call my attention some thing. I remaiued there till another woman came to relieve her by stand ing on my other foot. The crowd did not thin out for a long time, neither did that fat party who stood on my foot, but finally I got a chance to move up to the counter, where a tired young woman was looking dreamily over ttie heads of the seething mass, while a row of customers jabbed at her with their parasols. 1 Iwxle mv time, and when the crowd had thinned out a little Iteckoned to the saleslady to put her ear over to wards me, as I desired to express a thought. She leaned towards me in a reserved way, which tickled my nose with the rim of her high, intellectual ear. I said to her that I had l>een waiting a good while, as there were so many ahead of me, but that if the oc casion now seemed ripe I wished she would show me her suspenders. Those were my exact words, .and yet the papers the next day not. only gave a garbled and erroneous account of it. but misspelled my name twice. Thus it came to pass that the only time I ever tri.sl to buy anything in New Y’ork. when I had the money to do it with, I met with a repulse that I can not fully understand. In try ing to explain it to the authorities afterwards I spoke of my earnest de sire to devote my future life to the use of suspenders and other refining in fluences, but they said that surely I knew better than to try to get sus- ponders at the corset counter on the first floor, when everybody knew that the stts|>ender department was up sev- en floors, back of the restaurant and on the left of the woodenware depart ment. in charge of an elderly man. with thick-set red Donegal« and a heavy endxissed nose. Rather than admit that 1 didn’t know New York intimately from Castle Garden to 3 o'clock a. th .. 1 settled the matter and got a pair of good suspenders of a man who does a quiet business on the sidewalk at the corner of Fulton street and Broadway, I believe, un less he baa moved his store up to Park Row. He did not show the air of re- lnctance and extreme anguish over being separated from bis sits|»enders which we notice in the large dealer. I paid him 40 cents for the pair I got of him, and was told afterwards that I could have purchased the same goods on Twenty-third street for 39 cents. The reason 39 cents, or 29 cents, or Iff cents, or 9 cents is the price, as I un derstand it, is that it gives an oppor tunity to the saleslady to ship your goods to Fort Hamilton, when» they are done up ami retitrn.nl, while your 40 ceuts goes through a clearing house, a house of detention, quarantine and receiving vault. You then get a cent back, miss your boat home and have to stop at the hotel all night at a cost of 84.85. THE EMERALD LAND. How a California Journalist Desrants on the Charms of Oregon. It is greatly to the interest of Cali fornia to have a large population in Oregon and Nevada. Oregon must supply us soon with important and necessary commercial productions which we will cease to create for our selves. The two states will be tribu tary to each other, generating a mu tual prosperity. Oregon has a cli mate soft and salubrious by oontrast with that of the East, and soil that is unrivaled for standard crops. There is plenty of arable land, majestic tim ber. mineral resources not half devel oped, and above all the opportunity to buy at moderate figures. These al lurements are not lost upon the rest of the country, and backed by a hearty welcome to the new oomer. they will sjieedilv second what nature has" done for the founding of a great American commonwealth. Joaquin Miller's characterization of Oregon as “the Emerald Land” has been aejzud HpoQ by ti» Fn-----r press, for it implies a land where grass grows and water runs, and is as sociated with verdure and foliage, with sun and shade. All tastes are not the same, and it is a happy promise of the symmetrical development of these coast States that their good qualities so comple ment each other as to be attractive to a great diversity of tastes. In climate they run from dry to humid, and in productions they cover the great area between the two extremes. The men who traversed the long Oregon trail forty years ago were the pioneers of a great civilization. They were to the Argonauts who made early Califoruia what the adventurous settlers in the Wyoming Valley and along the blue Juniata were to the commercial Knickerbockers who. set tled New Y’ork. We speak of the mid dle states now as a group allied in in terest and progress working out the same destiny ami greatly interdepend ent. The Pacific states are to be another family group like that, with a population which will balanoe the census of the two sides of the conti nent. Therefore, we say to the immi grant: "If you don’t see what you want in California, ask for it in Ore gon: and if von don't see what you want in Oregon, ask for it in Califor uia or Nevada.” - Alta-Califomia. Horticultural Notes. Following are brief excerpta from the, address of Dr. Cardwell to the North Pacific Fruit Growt*rs’ Associa tion, the annual meeting of which war held in Portland recently. The sub ject of the address was the meeting of the National Fruit Growers’ Associa tion in San Jose, and the experience of 1 be Oregon delegation attending it: Gentlemen of the North Pacifi Fruit Growers' Association:—Yoni committee, appointed to make a col lection of our fruits, met with a ready response from business men and fruit - growers, and were, in a few houn able to place in the hands of vour de) - egation to the American tiorticnli ural Society a very creditable display of the dned and canned product . and some fair apples, which, however, were not exhibited, excepting a few selected specimens, by reason of dan age in transit; hence were ordere i sold and placed to expense account.

Our Italian prunes aud large plums were a won der and a revelation. In these v.< had no rivals. Our Petite pruni« were large, and as fine as any. Other produets compared favorably.
