BILL NYE SHOPPING.
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

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
