" -V: " Referrine to a remark concerning onr fellow townsman Hugh Glenn, . that taieiy appeared in tne (Jregonian, the Times-Mutineer says : "During our resi dence in this city of over a quarter of a century we never knew before that Mr. Glenn was a "democratic war-horse," or reaHy exercised any influence in politics. He has never been elected to any office by the suffrages of his fellow citizens, and the position he now occupies as member of the water commission was an' appointive one by the mayor. As one of those named in the bill he is in the office by virtue of the adopt ion of the amended charter, and not by the votes of the elec tors of the municipality of Dalles City. Therefore his opinions on political niat- tcio varriea iiitit ur no weigni. "Let us-, apply, this charming.' spec imen of backwoods logic to the Mutineer . man himself.

Wrecked by a Mirage. A mirage in the Carribean sea was the cause of the total loss of the new Ameri can barkentine Steadfast, while bound from Port of Spain to Philadelphia. When the Steadfast sighted the lofty peaks of St. Croix the atmosphere as sumed a peculiar light color, and it be came impossible to detect the sky from the. island, everything assuming a sim ilar shade and color resembling the cir rostratus clouds, hiding the entire lower portion of the' island. The peaks and mountain appeared to be twenty miles awajB.'1 a ; :.zir--. - ;:';;;;?

The ves sel crashed over the reefs ' and was soon fast on the rocky shore, where her wreck BtOl remains. The . mirage made the island appear twenty miles away. Bos ton Transcript. , ' . " f-:.: .
