Mr. Huntington's statement further .-shows that the opposition boats have re cfueed the grain rates, between The Dalles and Portland from f3.40 to $2.20 and the average rate for general mer- tthftndifla from rn 3lt .ft Tn throa and a half months the portage road and opposition lioats have handled about 2100 tons of merchandise at an actual - saving ui fu.o'j iu iDiieuurere. xui mis is a small part of the gain. During the whole wheat season the price of grain at ' The Dalles was only about four cents a bushel less than at Portland, while -heretofore the difference had been 10 to 104 cents. The actual saving therefore to the farmers of Wasco a id Klickitat counties was $33,000 upon wheat and other grains alone, while the saving' in other shipments and in passenger fares made a net saving 'to the people of these counties of five to ten thousand dollars more. The effect of this competition war felt in Sherman county although the producers of that county could not reach the steamboats plying on the river below The Dalles. But the high prie at The Dalles -forced the price to some extent in the adjoining counties. The actual loss in wheat by reason of breaking bulk at the Cascades and twice handling there was feund to be less than . one-tenth of one per cent, a loss that is merely nominal. This is a fine showing everyway and a powerful argument for an open river. Valuable Iteal Estate. . The prodigious increase in the value of Fifth avenue property is indicated by the terms in which a part of the land at the southwest corner of Fifth avenue and Thirtieth street, upon which the Jievf hotel, the Holland house, stands, has . been leased by Mrs. Mary J. Van Doren, the builder and owner of that imposing edifice. It i3 understood that Mrs. 'Van Doren was able, to buy outright .three fourths of the land necessary for the site. . but that for the corner part of it she was - compelled to pay tho almost incredible ground rent of $13,000 a year, clear, she agreeing to pay the taxes. ' It is understood also that the lease is for 100 years. Hence the owner of this .land and the hoirs will enjoy an incomo of $13,000 per year, free of all burden or expenses, for the next 100 years. Thinii .w. .... v . . . ... . .uuuaauu uyi- lara merely for the use of a piece of land on a Fifth avenue corner, without the owner being obliged to spend one cept for improvements, taxes or " any other form of outlay. Fortunate, in deed, are the possessors and inheritors of Fifth avenue corner lots.. New York Cor. Brooklyn Eaglo. " " tftorle That Bishop Bare -Telia. ' ' Bishop Hare, of South Dakota, is fond of telling stories about himself to illus trate the point which he playfully makes that a man who lives long on the plains comes to be a good deal of a barbarian. Once, so one of the stories runs, he had the misfortune while entering a dining room in this city to step upon the skirt of a lady's dress. Apologizing, he 'said, ''You know that I have been living with the Indians lately and have grown some what awkward." The lady; Miss Potter, quickly replied," "I don't think that, bishop; bat I am sur prised at one thing, that after living so long with the Indians you shouldn't be better at following up a trail." A few evenings later another little af fair occurred, the story of which the bishop tells as follow?: ' . " "I was talking with a charming wom an when up came , a gentleman who claimed her attention for a moment in another part'of the house.- "As "she went away she gave me. her ice and asked me to keep it for her. She had hardly gone before brother clergyman e-ngaged me in a talk on the Indian question. "Now, if.thsreis any subject in, which I aiir more interested than I am in the Indianquestion I can't think, of it just now. At any rate, I became absorbed i-a my talk with my friend. " Suddenly I was aroused by an inquiry addressed to me in a woman's voice. , . " 'Where is niy ice, bishop?' was the question. ' '" : "Upon my word, I had eaten every bit of it." New York Times. . ' Great Men from u Accident. The history of 'a certain American family furnishes several examples of a beneficent result of disabling accidents. -The young son of a farmer ina small town in Massachusetts had his hand crushed in his father's cider mill-, and being thus unfitted to gain his livelihood by farming was sent in due time to the academy to commence a preparation for a prof essional life. t He died a member of the United States senate. ' A boy who belonged to another branch of the same family, in the vicinity of Boston, .cut his knee badly and was long confined to the house. His kind pastor supplied him with books, and perceiving i mat lie nau a natural aptitude for study laught him , Lathi and finally induced his parents to 'send him to college. The young man was graduated at Har vard and became a minister of the gos pel. One of his sons was a general in the army of 1812; another served his coun try in congress. The son who entered college had six sous who were college educated men, all prominent in their puafession one a judge of the superior court ". of New Hampshire and another a professor for forty years in a New England college and eminent as an author. . . All this life of education and usefulness-, extending through throe genera tional may, be said to have started in a little boy s cutting his leg! Youth's Companion. One Child's Dream. Harriet Martinean relates that, of her many childish fancies, perhaps none was so terrible as a dream she had at four years old.' "I dreamed," she says, "that we children were taking a walk with our nursemaid. Out of the public house there came a stag with prodigious antlers. Passing the ptanp, it crossed the road to ua aud nittoe a polite bow, with its head on one side, and with a scrape of one foot; after which it pointed, with its foot to the public house, and spoke to me, inviting me in.. The maid declined, and turned to go home. Then came the terrible part. "By the time we were at our own door it was dusk, and we went up the steps iu the dark; but in the kitchen it was bright sunshine. My mother was stand ing at the dresser, breaking sugar, and she lifted me up and set me in the sun, and gave me a bit of sugar. Such was the dream which froze me with horror! Who shall say why?" concludes the nar-j rator, looicing back from ner . strong minded maturity to that vividly remem bered childish dream, and utterly un able to understand "what the fright was about." Argosy. lHscouraging the l'e of Tobacco. Professor Smith, formerly of Bowdoin college, did not like to have the students chew tobacco during recitations and took effectual means to break up the practice. . A boy who was called upon to recite one day, not expecting to be "pulled," as the saying goes, on the next day in succession, would go into the class and chew tobacco during the hour. Whenever "Cosine" noted this he was morally certain to ask that student a few questions, and by. keeping him up fifteen minutes or so would manage to ; put him in a position where he would I either have to swallow a copious amount I of tobacco or else choke. Such vigorous treatment had a beneficial effect. Lew iston Journal. A Neat Way of Putting It. A neat compliment was uttered once by General Bomaine. Meeting Lady de Brientz whom he had known and .ad mired in the loveliness of her youth he commenced complimenting her. "You forget that I am an old woman," she said at length. "Madame," returned J the gallant soldier, "when our eyes are dazzled by a diamond ' it never oc curs to us to ask a mineralogist for its history." London Standard; . Hill of r:uivAFv. .

I crossed the meadow at breaking morar I saw the road wind by bill and moor ' " Beyond the hills was my distant bourne. ' I thought of the greetings I should win What was it moaned at my feet meanwhile? A poor old terrier, lame and tbin; . I stooped and helped him over the stile. Then would bare crossed; hut a dreary yelp Arrested me, and I turned, to view A limping poodle, whose need of help Was manifest; and I helped him, too. ' ;' Of every nation and tribe are they,-- . And each has a fresh, resistless wile; Each says in his own peculiar way; "Just help a lame dog over the stiler' . - They're greyhound.

The Horses Knew the Tune. A relation of mine, who lias spent many years in India, remembers well how, when Irving in Lucknow- and en joying the evening drive with other English residents in the Indian city, the carriage horses would toss their heads and paw the ground impatiently when the first notes of "God Save the Queen" were played by the military band every evening. It was the last tune played, the signal for dispersion. A skeptic or, perhaps, more than one -having insisted that the horses only knew the tune because if was always played last, and they were able to calcu late time, the experiment, was tried of playing "God Savethe Queen" in the middle, instead of at .the end of the evening. Instantly there was the same excitement in the horses standing round "the course." The same impatient toss ing of the head and prancing of the feet, the same- pfeneral- stampede and . eager ness to start homeward. No one could any longer doubt that they knew and recognized the air; in fact, that they could tell one tune from another. London Spectator. A Triumph of Civilization. There is a large farmer near" me, a clever and successful man in his way, who married (as men sometimes do) a foolish wife. His daughters are placed at an expensive school in Brighton, and are carefully debarred by their mother from all "acquaintance, iot only with f armwork and housework, but with such elemental-- feminine' knowledge as the simplest servantmaid can enjoy. They may not make ormend their own clothes; ( they may not use-the needle. i '1 am'happy to say," their proud ; mother said lately to a ladjr; "I am i happy to say, ma'am, that my daughters cannot even sew."" But they can play ii ' -- i-j i - . . - . -r iu8 piano aner a. iasmon icey nave a smattering, -of French, they could and would (if they were asked) go to garden partie8in evening, dress. So greatly has civilization triumphed in their case. Kotes and Queries. - : V ! Ice Slade b-y Natural Casv An inventor in Buffalo has devised a process or making ice by utilizing the intense cold created by the expansion of natural gas when li Derated from the high pressure at which it issues fronij the wells. In the experimental plant the gas is used at its initial pressure, or ! from 15& to 200 pounds to drive a small engine. After use in the engine the gas. exhausts, into a closed box, and. the ex- j pansion generate? sufficient cold to form ! slabs of ice three inches thick to the amount of . three-auarters of a ton in a day. It is claimtvi that the principle can be applied economically on . a large scale. New York Telegram.V, .' Orr 1,500,000 Died from Want. European calamities from famines dwindle into insignificance when com pared with the colossal dimensions of a famine in 1 the crowded countries of Asia. In 1837 over 800,000 human be ings starved to death in Northwest India, and in 1800 another famine .car-' riedoff 500,000. In 1865. 1,000,000 peo ple were supposed to haved starved in Bengal and Orissa, and in 1868 the death roll from famine in Rajpootana exceeded r,500,000. Even at late as 1877 about 500,000 perished in Bombay, Madras and Mysore. Providence Journal. ' A Youthful Joke. ""j "G-randpa," said the irreverent college j boy at the close of the Thanksgiving j dinner, "what's the "difference between you and the turkey we've just had?" . "I don't know. What?" said the old gentleman innocently. ' . "It was ' a turkey stuff ed with chest nuts, aud you are a chestnut stuffed with turkey." The college boy and his little brother were the only ones to laugh. Harpers Bazar. A Descendant of Count Pylaski. A strange figure on the 6treets of Washington is that of Josephine J. Janocki, a Polish countess and a grand niece of Count Pulaski, of Revolutionary fame. She is described as a "human dried apple," poor to indigence and shab-! bily dressed, and she is about fifty years old. "For twenty-five years she has been fighting for a fortune left Ijy Count j Pulaski Washington Letter. Rachel's Theory. Miss Rachel was often told she was taking cold. On the first warm days of summer she marched up and down the pavement in front of the house, fanning herself vigorously. When her mother appeared she exclaimed, "I'm taking hot, mamma, I'm taking hot." Babyhood. A Trite Ansirer. Little girl of seven being asked why she ate her tart all around the edge first, and consequently got her fingers covered with jam, answered reproachfully, "Meg, don't you know duty first and pleasure afterward."
