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

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

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; .

A LESSON OF ,..IIFE, -
A long; day's journey there lay before: - i '- ".
. 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. Skye, Pomeranian:
They limp-along in an-endless file;
(They're smooth or curly, they're black and
tan. .'-; v - . . ..
They all' are lame and would cross the stile.

The shadows deepen o'er hill and glen,
Dim is my pathway of many a mile
Yet will I renew my journey when
The last lame dog is. over, the stile. -

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

dwindle into insignificance when com
