We are in receipt, this week, of

"French young ludy, 23 years ot

doubt a goad, sensible girl, and well
knows what virtue there is in ad
vertising. Frank McBean, proprictDrof the
Soda Spring station, a favorite sum
mer re ort for the people in Grant
and Harney counties, informs us
that ho has sown that pkee 1G0

proves a success, and his monkey

The G A. 11. Fourth of July cel
ebration in John Day, was, to say
the least, a grand success in every
particular. The old "Vets" are
hard to beat in jotting up an enter
tainment of any kind, and to sur
pass them in conducting an I kvp
ing order at public institutions, is
almost impossible. Upwards of 80
numbers were sold at their celebra

know what the proceeds amount to,
but hope they did well

me is a mystery. As scon

wagon and drove rapidly away.
i was accorded the honor day

When ho knew it wae I. he grasp

enquired after the health of niosi
of the peoplcof Canyon City, and
I had the pleasure of informing
him that with a few exceptions
they were quite well, thank you.
Portland is a beautiful city,
and a desirable one in which ti
reside, for corn and beans ami
cucumbers, and colic and wonm
poaches are in the market.
My incomprehensible under

WASHINGTON LETTER.
The first morning visitors at
the White Houc Wednesday
were Secretary Blaine and Wil
liam Walter Phelpsof New Jer
sey. Mr. Blaine carried a large
ollicial envelope whicn he grave
ly handed to the President, who
opened it and took out a smaller
envelope, which he handed to thc
Jerseyman with the bangs. The
envelope contained Mr. Phelps
commission as envov extraordi
nary and minister plenipotentia-'
ry oi toe I'nitcu btates to Oerma
ny. Mr. I'hclps tried to look as
of the eves of two continents were

he and Mr. Blaine retired in

inent closes the chanter of the
ilalstead matter, and recognizes
Mr. Phelps valuable services in
thc Sainoan treaty arrangements,
i I is association with that treaty
conforance will save him the
trouble of making himself ac--juinted
with the Hermans.
Mr. Phelps is well qualified for
a foreign minister by his wealth,
the most necessary adiun.-t to
such a position. His wealth was
.uheritvd. lie is fifty years old.
and was a practicing attorney up : tory of the United States and i lt market. A cajiacitv to con

His personal appearance, dress
tnil maiin-.r .ne very peculiar.
Ie was once before in the diplo
.natic service in 1882 being sent
o Austria, where he remained
jnly a year. At the last Repub
lican National convention he was
t prominent candidate for the
Vice-Presidential nomination, and
.ater refused a reuomination for
tie House to make the fight for
Senator. The senate is still his
altimate aim. and he looks for
.vard exultingly to the next op
portunity. His house at leamek
vas reeentlv riostrovul bv fire

ind a lare library burned, cans -
ing a loss of $lo0,000.
The men in Coniriess who are
'ood story tellers are few. The
renresentatives. on the other
und. who make . 1 lame iob of
oiling commonplace and worn
jut varus are scores. Vhen you
near some blundering
htavy-
uovinc statesman
begin the
that reminds me of a man down
toy way," that's the time for dis
appearing. Thv?:e is Co igress
tntu Cannon of Illinois, for in--t.mce,
who has about as much
uumnr in his composition as an
owl. He went dovn the river to
.vlarshal Hall, opposite Mt. Ver
ion, last week
with the Six .
.'clock Club.
Thc cluu'3 hobby !
is after dinner speeciies. and af
ter awhile it was Cannon s turn.
It was evidently no time to talk
of the speakership contest or the
tariff. So the unfortunate legis
lator struggled through a few al
lusions to the beautiful scenery,
the mansion at Ml. Vernon Iving
in the dusk of evening far across ;
the placid river. Thus far we ,'
were all right, but when he '
struck the "far across the river." j
he was forever lost. With a :
fiendish delight, and perfectly ;
unconscious of his fate, he began
to tell that c lub of well Hilarmed
gentlemen, the story of the dollar
that Washington threw over the
river and that a dollar went fur
ther than. etc. etc. The story
that .Senator Everts told Lord
Coleridge, the tale that has been
told so often on the river that it
is genera illy suicidal to attempt j
it, met a response of howls and j
e;it-ca!ls and Cannon sat down a
ruined man. j
It seems strange that men of
average intelligence will go on i
telling aged and ho.try chestnuts :
ail their lives, without recogniz-1
ing their triteness, without re.diz-!
ing that they bore p-ople. "I
wish," says Lord Creville in his

The other scores of demand for

there are 2'2S sets of wool caiils.

in the New England stateo,
and (3o in New York; and from
the latest directory that we have

Having, therefore, determined

It will be noticed that the
states of which Philadelphia is
the business centre have more
than one third of the woolen
looms of the country, one third of
the cards in the' hat factories. I

ry mills: and when we take into 1
consideration the character of.
