ONE OF THE QUEER CHANCES.
Every once in a while some war vet
eran, under proper circumstance's and
conditions, will tell you how he escaped
death at such a place and such a time by
the "queerest chance in the world."
One of these "queerest chances in the
world": fell to 'the lot of an old-timer
who hyes in Germantown, and, in truth,
it is one of the very queerest. He was
about to leave for the seat of war in 1863,
and the eirl to whom he was engaged,
among numerous other things, gave him
a chest-protector made by her own fair
hands and wet bv her tears. It was
meant to be practical, and was of im
mense thickness that is, it was padded
to the depth of an inch or two. .During
a long and tedious campaign in chilly
weather, the soldier found it invaluable
as a safeguard against, colds, and wore it
almost constantly, tie naa it on one
moraine when plunged into tne neat oi a
hand-to-hand skirmish. The affair de
veloped into quite a little battle and
soon the straggling nre on Doin siaes naa
become rattline vollevs. When it was
over the soldier retired to his tent and
removed his coat and shirt in order to
stanch the flow of blood from a small
flesh wound m his back. In removing
the protector he felt a sharp pain shoot
through his chest, and then he noticed
that the protector was cut all up by the
passage of a bullet. An investigation
developed an awfully "queer chance
His sweetheart had accidentally left a
needle sticking in the pad which he had
never noticed before. This rau right
through the cloth and a bullet had struck
it on the point. The needle had been
forced back clear through a thick button
on his woolen undershirt and thence
had erone a little distance into the skin
The resistance of the button had forced
the soft lead of the bullet clear around
the needle so that the bullet, was fairly
impaled on the slender wire. Thus was
the life of the soldier saved, and through
the carelessness of his beloved in leaving
the needle in the protector.
Mora Important Than Expositions.
We believe Oreeon should give more
toward building a portage railway at the
cascades and dalles of the Columbia
than in making an exhibit of her pro
duce in Chicago. Pass the portage rail
road bill first, ye members from Eastern
Oregon. The people oi .Eastern uregon
must secure an open river to the sea,
and thereby secure low freight rates, if
they desire to have the country fill up
with people whose watchword is "prog
ress." Eastern Oregon will always be of
small importance if she allows corpora
tions to suck blood from her veins for
the benefit of non-resident bond-holders
and bloated millionaires. An open river
to the sea would do much to remove the
shackles that keep the country and her
people in a lethargic condition. Fossil

Tna Cenana moA City Populmttoaa.
The population of the United
has increased between 1880 and 1890
from 50,000,000 to 64,000,000, or about
26 per cent. Deducting the urban popu
lation, the increase of rural population
ia found to be only 8 per cent., while the
increase of the urban population is more
than 67 per cent. This classification of
urban population includes only cities of
8,000 inhabitants and upward. If the
classification should embrace cities of
4,000 inhabitants and upward it would
undoubtedly appear that the rural popu
lation had decreased during the decade,
while the total increase would be in the
cities. This general result has been
brought about notwithstanding the im
mense increase in population in the rural
districts in extreme western states, such
as the Dakotas, Minnesota, Nebraska,
Kansas, Arkansas and Texas.
The following table shows the increase
of the total population of several states
and the increase of the city population:
Total Increase
Increase, ia City
1 880-1 8U0. Population.
Maine. 11.325
Massachusetts 400,000
Connecticut 110,000
Rhode Island 69,000
New York 1.016,000
Illinois. 800,000
The percentages of the increase of city
population to the whole increase of popu
lation between 1880 and 1890 inlseveral
states are as follows: In Maine there
was an actual decrease of rural popula
tion, the increase in cities being more
than the total increase in the state. In
Massachusetts the increase in cities was
CO per cent, of the whole increase; in
Connecticut 85 per cent.; in Rhode Isl
and 70 per cent.; in New York more
than 75 per cent.; in Pennsylvania near
ly 00 per cent.; in Ohio more than 50 per
cent. ; in Illinois 87 per cent. William

Protection for Retailers.
A novel idea has been presented to the
English trade to meet the competition
from manufacturers who have stores for
retailing their own goods. It is pro
posed to form a compitny with a capital
stock of $100,000. This company will
pay cash for the goods, which will be re
sold to shareholders at invoice prices,
plus a charge of 5 per cent, to cover ex
penses. The object of the company is
that the shareholders, who are retailers,
will be able to buy all classes of goods
at the lowest wholesale prices for cash,
without reference to the quantity bought.
By this plan of co-operative buying it
is figured that a great saving can be
made over the regular way of buying in
small lots by retailers, who lose the
trade discounts and other items, which
it is estimated make a total of about 15
per cent. The multiple shop competi
tion is said to be bearing heavily on the
small retailers, and some plan of this
kind is necessary if they are not to be
crowded out. The idea is an excellent
one, but whether it can be made a prac
tical success or not remains to be seen.

Mr. Hatch's Dream.
Mr. William H. Hatch, of this city.
has a son named Roland Hatch. Twenty
years ago he left home for the west, and
for many years his whereabouts was un
known to his parents. It has been six
years since he wrote his father. Mr.
Hatch is now ill. One night recently he
dreamed that he was with his son in the
state of Michigan; that his son was in a
camp, numbered 40, with a gang of log
gers. ' In the morning Mr. Hatch told
his wife the dream. The next mail
brought a letter from the long absent
son stating that he was with a logging
crew in Michigan, and everything about
him tallied with his father's dream. The
voune man has been sent for to come
home. Belfast (Me.) Journal.
Our lteglatered-Mail System.
The rezistered mail system of the
United States is probably the safest me
thod in the world for transmitting valu
able mail matter. By it the chances of
loss are reduced to a mimimum, and if a
loss occur it can be traced with almost
absolute certainty, " The government is
not, as many erroneously supposed,
pecuniarily responsible for the contents
ot registered letters lost in transmission,
but in such cases, every effort is used to
trace and recover the property. The
government is no more reponsible for
the safe transmission of a registered let
ter than it is for an ordinary letter, but,
in case of the former, the chance of loss
is less and the chance ol recovery greater.
A registered letter goes slow, but sure.
It beats the express system for perfect
safety.
Advices from West Africa state , that
the king of Dahomey has applied to the
French authorities at Kotonou for a
guillotine, -which he proposes to set up at
his ' capital for the more - expeditious

displeasure. It appears that the king,
who was educated in France, was im
pressed while there with what he , heard
of the guillotine, and has since concluded
to introduce in his provinces. The
French hesitate to complv with the re
quest, on the ground of the uses to which
the instrument would De put in tne
