DECORATION DAY,
Next Monday is the day, when by
common consent the nation garlands
with flowers the graves of its heroic dead.
Precious beyond earth's richest jewels,
more fragrant than the roses we scatter
npon the cold clay above them, sweeter
than the music of earth's choicest min
strelsy is the memory of those who lived
and died to "make and keep us free. No
marble shaft or sculptured monument
may mark their resting place or tell the
record of their deeds. The tale is written
on a grateful nation's heart. . (fathered
around the friendly earth that conceals
their precious dust we scatter fresh
flowers upon their graves to keep their
memory' green. For us on tented field
or open plain they bore the hardship of
the winter's blast or summer's sun or
boldly braved the cannon's mouth and
shot and shell or not less nobly perished
in the prison pen by gaunt starvation or
by foul disease. For' us they left the
homes thev loved and friends that loved
them in return,, to die perchance with
out a friendly hand to close their glassy
eyes. The blood they sbed is the seed of
the nation's liberty and the nation shall
cherish it while the stars and stripes
continue to float over a free people.
The Athena Press says : "Ellis, the
. republican nominee for congressman,
owes his nomination to ex-Gov. Moody,
of The Dalles, who is an open champion
of the Union Pacific and against an
open river. EI! is himself has been an
attorney for the Union Pacific. Vote for
Luce." Let theJPraw vote for Luce if it
'wants to. " A vote for Luce is half a vote
.for Kllisl for Luce lias no more show to
ibe elected than the Press man himself,
-who is not a candidate ; but Ellis does
notowehis nomination either directly
or indirectly 1 to ex- Governor Moody.
Moody's candidate was Senator Hilton.
When the Press says "Ellis has been an
attorney for the Union Pacific," it says
what is equally false, and what, we had
-almost said,' it knows to be ialse. No
" paper making any pretention to respect
"' ibility can afford to lie in this fashion.
The Review of Reviews moralizes over
the fortune left by the late William
Henry Smith. 'lie was possessed of a
.personal fortune of $8,500,000 and real
estate of perhaps as much more, but he
left nothing to public or charitable ob
jects. The article goes on to declare
that the fact that he made no public be
quest has done very much to forward
the determination in the Old World to
pass a law which shall levy duties on
the estates of rich men ; it even goes so
far ns to say that the next parliament
will not expire before an attempt will be
made, to deal with the question of death
. duties ; that England will probably have
a graduated death tax sooner than a
graduated income tax.
From the Wasco News we learn that
on the 21st -inst., W. M. Barnett of
Waeco sent the following telegram to
Rainmaker Melbourne : ' "How much
for one inch of rain during the first fif
teen'days in June?'.' The following is
"the answer: " -
Cheyknnk, Wyo., May 22, 1892.
W. M. Barnett, Wasco. .
$5,000 one inch ; less amount pay in
' proportion. ' Round trip traveling ex
penses for two guaranteed. -
Fbank Melbourne.
A mass meeting is called to meet in
Wasco tonight to discuss the question of
hiring Melbourne to make the . test. It
- is understood that he will come on the
principle of no rain no pay
. Senator Raley of Umatilla county, who
earned a little notority he .did not de
serve through his connection with what
is known as the Raley bill,.. is making a
vigorous fight for re-election in the teeth
of formidable opposition. His. enemies
are circulating; damaging, letters con
cerning his connection with a piece of
land on which he secured a loan' of $5,000
from the state school funds. I . .. '

Tho French Detective.
Every good detective has to eome ex
tent his own way of working, which is
varied, of 'course, according, to the cir
cumstances. We may say, however, that
as a rule the Parisian, agent has a freer
hand and works in a somewhat bolder,
more self reliant mariner than his Eng
lish colleague. This follows from hia
isolation; he is less helped by "informa
tion received" and too badly paid to buy
it, so he is . forced to acquire it by his
own exertions. '
A favorite method is to assume the
disguise of a workinginan or hawker,
and here it may be said that the use of.
an elaborate makeup exists now only in
books. Every zealous hand has his own
little wardrobe,, and the simpler' the bet
ter. The most effectual disguises are
those which best assimilate the wearer
to common life. The Parisian has two
in particular the blouse and the work
man's apron.
"Shadowing" is always done by two
men, one some little way behind the
other. Bach carries a change of dress
to wit, a blouse wound sashwise around
the waist and a casqnette carried inside
the shirt. The moment the first man
fancies himself perceived he gives place
to the second, and dropping behind
slips the blouse over bis jacket and ex
changes his felt hat for the casquette.
Thus metamorphosed he resumes his
place. London Saturday Review
The Had of Egypt. ' .
Egypt, says Herodotus, is a gift of the
Nile. A truer or more pregnant word
was never spoken. Of course it is just
equally true, in a way, that Bengal is a
gift of the Ganges, and that Louisiana
and Arkansas are a gift of the Missis
sippi, but with this difference, that in
the case of the Nile, the dependence is
far more obvious, far freer from disturb
ing or distracting details. For that rea
son, and also because the Nile is so much
more familiar to most English speaking
folk than the American rivers, 1 choose
Egypt as my type of a regular mudland.
But in order to understand it fully you
mustn't stop all your time in Cairo and
the Delta; you mustn't view it only from
the terrace of Shepheard's hotel or the
rocky platform of the Great Pyramid at
Gizeh; you must push up country early
to Luxor and the Firsts Cataract. It is
up country that Egypt unrolls itself vis
ibly before your eyes in the very process
of making. It is there that the full im
portance of good, rich, black mud first
forces itself npon you by undeniable evi
dence. Cornhill Magazine.
Wheat Does Not Grow Wild.
The existence of names for wheat in
the most ancient languages confirms the
evidence of its great antiquity and of its
cultivation in tho more temperate parts
of Europe, Asia and Africa. From the
evidence adduced by botanists of high
standing, it seems highly improbable
that wheat has never been found grow
ing persistently in a wild state, although
it has often been asserted by poets, trav
elers and historians.
In the Odyssey, for example, we are
told that wheat formerly grew in Sicily
without the aid of man. Diodorus re
peats the tradition that Osiris found
wheat and barley growing promiscu
ously in Palestine, but neither this nor
other reputed discoveries of wheat
growing wild seem at all credible, see
ing that it does not appear to be endow
ed with the power of persistency, ex
cept under continued culture. St. Louis
Republic.
Dickens as an Art Critic.
The son of a neighbor of Dickens, then
a very young artist indeed, quite a boy
had painted' his first picture, the sub
ject being an aged, knight in full armor,
apparently having recently returned
from the wars, and overcome with fa
tigue. Finding himself unable to reach
his ancestral castle, he sinks exhausted
on a fallen tree in a sort of orchard, an
some cottage children bring him some
fruit to recruit his exhausted strength.
Dickens took great interest in the young
artist who, by the way, is now ver y
eminent and greatly admired his pic
ture, especially the figure of the old
knight; but, "My dear fellow." "he said,
"those apples won't be of any use that
old gentleman requires burned brandy

A Word About Stage Dialogue.
The art of (writing good stage dialogue
is still inchoate. It must be natural,
and yet when it is, natural it is beneath
the dignity of the drama, and must be
elevated again to the proper pitch. Man
ifestly the stage is not to blame for this,
but the world of society,, which is too
loquacious and frivolous, and lives with
out regard to the compensations', keep
ing and culminations of 'art. Only the
esoteric essence of our life is now fit for
dramatic representation, and the dram
atists who can see and adequately por
tray that essence are shall we say he
is? not numerous. Lippincott's Maga
zine.
Theology a, Frojrreuive Science. '
.1 neology is always as much a pro
gressive science as geology. If 1,000 of
the wisest, purest, most intellectual,
most healthy scholars in Christendom
today were to formulate a creed , out of
the New Testament scriptures, as they
are known today, that theology, state
ment could not remain the same to the
date of A. D. 2892 s The power, the
thought, the study of a thousand years
would throw it into new . forms, of ex
pression, while the substance would re
main the same. Beacon. ... ; .

TO THE PUBLIC. It having come
to our knowledge that a party in
The Dalles in selling lime has made" the
assertion that he charges more for other
brands than the "Oregon" because they
are better, thereby implying that the
"Oregon" is an inferior article, we desire
to state that the "Oregon'" is the strong
est lime on the market ; that it will work
more plastic and leave the work when set
stronger and firmer than any other lime at
present manufactured in either Oregon
or Washington. Wm. Butlerd: Co., Agents
at The Dalles for the "Oregon" lime, are
instructed to furnish, free of charge, any
and all Oregon lime, which does not fully
come up to the stipulations above set
forth. The object of this notice is solely
to defend our goods against the fa Ise im
putations and statements of. any person
whatsoever. The Or. Marble and Lime
