The difficulty to arouse enthusiasm
- for Mr. Blaine at this time is significant.
The' general public looks upon him as a
nick man. It would be impossible to
convince the ordinary voter that Mr.
. Blaine would bo able to perform the
duties of the presidential office and di
rect republican party affairs. His can
didacy would excite .apprehension that
the men who are now pushing him into
the race would control him should he bo
elected president. There is danger that
he would be regarded as the candidate
of a certain set of men and not of the
whole party. Another thing that would
be unfortunate for 'Mr. Blaine, and his
candidacy: Being suspected -of ill
health and feebleness, he would be re
quired to make a more convincing dis
play of pbysicial vigor than would be
exacted of a well man. He would have
to be visible to all inquisitive persons.
Committees visiting from anywhere
would take along a local physician to ex
amine Mr. Blaine's health and bodily
condition. Besides. Mr. Blaine wonld
have to o ull manner of physical feats
and put in at least eight hours a day at
his desk. And then there would still be
people who would say ho was on the
verge of the grave. A campaign of this
sort would not be pleasing to republi
cans. It is not the sort of a campaign
patriotic citizens like to engage in. If
would be unfortunate for Mr. Blaine
himselt tp be nominated under such con
ditions. Last year Argentine bought from us "
2,820,035 worth o wearing apparel,
Machinery, fnrnitnre, canned goods and
other manufactured . articles, and we
Jxjught from that country products to
the value of (5,976,544, mostly in wool
; and hides. That is a country that we
ought to draw very close to in trade re
- latione, because it is peopled with a race
that is bound to grow richer and richer

They have beef enough to feed the world ;
indeed, it is said that the cattle which
range over Argentine and the countries
immediately north outnumber all the
til " . 1. . . - 7 u . .
vttbucju ine ouiaiue worm. Among ner
people Argentine has 80,000 strong men
from the United Kingdom ; English,
Scotch and Irish. They are enough to
give direction to the commerce and trade
of that country. They are of the Ster
ling roiHla an3 ll u.t ova -in a L.nil n.V.nwA
thoir hopes are boundless. The United
-States should -try to get a close walk
'With that nation".
. Arrangements are being made to work
the coal mines of Alaska -this year and
.'to begin extensive gold mining. That
is a good deal of a country. When Sec
retary Seward bought it, the opposition
jpress to the administration declared . it
was money thrown away, but the seals
have paid back that purchase-money
and the interest on it, and for the twenty
years preceding 1890 more than $60,000,
000 worth of products were shipped out
of that country to the lower states of the
republic. The possibilities are il will
be the best gold-producing country in
the union, and in the world, in the next
few years; there is no. end to its timber;
its fisheries are something that will grow
immensely year after year; while it is
said that the air blowing over the warm
currents which lave that shore make it a
better place to winter in than the east
shore of Maine. It was a wise boy when
Alaska was taken in. ,
It is claimed that the practice of saw
ing off the liorns of grown cattle is being
superseded by preventing the growth
of horns with, the John March Chemical
Dehomer, applied to the embryo horn
of the three-days-bid calf. The horn
never having become a part of the ani
mal thus treated in infancy, future gen
erations do not grow horns more than in
naturally polled animals. Sheep are
also treated successfully. With this easy,
safe and 'cheap remedy. atockerowera
should cease to grow horns at the risk of
human and aminaV life, at. the cost of
more shed room, more feed," more car
room in shipping, loss by hides torn and
flesh bruised, loss by screw worms at
tacking wonttds, loss of nutrition neces
sary to grow horns, loss by the i - stronger
tormenting the weaker. Horns ought
to become m thing of tho past, v ' , i
It is said that the man who" composed
"Annie Jiooney received 414,000 lor it.
This is remarkable, but not nearly so
strange as that the man'' should reveal
his identity and confess. '- 4t '"
HORRID BEDFELLOWS
TARANTULAS CRAWL ALL OVER A
i ; ' SLEEPING TRAVELER. .
'A Tired Cauuper Who Awoke One Morn
ing to reel a Poinonoua Reptile Ex
. plorlng RIk Aautomr. Wliile Another
j Made a, lied or the Man's Upright Hair.
I Joseph Grandehnyer, a well known
fcnining man of Nevada, has passed
through many startlingexperiences dur
ing a residence of twenty-eight years in
the far west, but is perhaps the only
roan who can boast of having had' a
found baker's dozen of deadly tarantulas
for bedfellows . and surviving the terri
ble experience without material injury.
It happened a number of years ago, but
even now it causes cold shivers to chase
np Mr. Grandelmyer's spinal column
,when bis mind reverts to that particular
ev?irt However, surrounded by a cir
cle of friends at the Palace hotel a few
evenings since, he was induced to relate
the incident. . . . ' .
! "In 1864 1 came, to San Francisco. 1
said the gentleman, and with , the hope
fulness of youth determined to make my
fortune. . 1 had a little money saved up,
but was a raw tenderfoot, and whatever
1 put my money into failed to pan out.
Finally 1 concluded to strikeout for Ne
vada, ft was a new section of country
then, that had. been explored to a very,
limited extent, and when 1 made known
my intention many and urgent were the
requests for mo to refrain from being so
foolish as to encounter dangers in such
a wild and almost unknown country.
"Nothing daunted, however, and not
allowing myself to be dissuaded from
my purpose, one day in the summer of
1864, after inducing three acquaintances
to join me, 1 set out for the land of sage
brush. My particular object in 'going
was to better my fortune by any method
I could. Two of the party were pros
pectors, and the fourth, a Dr. Heath,
went along to spy out a good location
for a hog .ranch. .
"WelL after crossing the' Sierras at
Walker's pass, we found ourselves in
Owen's valley, which is now in' Inyo
county. Dusk was approaching.' and
when, after riding a distance in the
teeth of a cold wind, we found onrselves
at a deserted adobe hut by the roadside
we halted, unpacked and unpaddled our
animals, and prepared to camp for the
night.
A TERRIBLE A WAKENING.
There was feed for the horses in abun
dance, and while one staked them out
the others began preparations for supper
and made the beds ready. My friends
preferred sleeping under a large oak tree
near, but 1 chose a spot adjoining the
old adobe house. Vhere I spread my
blankets close to the ' wall where the
wind would not reach ine. After a hasty
nieal-we all retired to our respective beds
on the ground and readily dropped off to
sleep. ,
"I presume it was within an hour of
daybreak when I awoke with a sudden
Btart. A peculiarly dreadful . feeling,
worse than any nightmare, took posses
sion of me. I felt paralyzed and was
hfrnid to stir. There was somethina;
moving on my face. It was not a large
object, but as it moved abont the trail
left seemed to scorch my face. I felt
the thing traverse my face from the left
eye down over my nose 'and month.
Then it crossed to the other side and ex
plored in the region of my ear. Theu it
was gone.
i i sucw ii was .not a snaxe gnaing
over my face, but some animal, much
smaller, though what it was 1 was utter
ly, unable to conjecture. I was wide
awake, of course, but such an uncom
fortable horror held me fast that I was
unable to move a muscle and gazed help
lessly up at the .stars. Once .1 tried to
call out to my companions, but not a
sound could 1 muster. 1 lay there rigid
as a log, maybe for one minute, maybe
for five, when 1 again knew that the
same thing, or something like it, was on
Iny hand, which rested outside the blan
ket, and a cold chill ran np my arm and
through my whole body. Still 1 was
absolutely powerless to move a limb, and
involuntarily closed my eyes, almost ex
pecting to feel them closed in death, so
dreadful and indescribable was the sen
sation. -
A HOR&IBUS SUSPENSE.
'Next 1 knew "it was climbingAip
over my throat, then to my chin and
about my nose. . An irresistible impulse
caused me to open my right eye, and 1
paw by the dim light the fiery eyes of a
big tarantula looking into mine, with
Us hairy body on my face, not two inches
nwayt : - '
' "Knowing that death or at least pain'
ful injury might result if 1 moved my
body, 1 immediately dropped the eyelid
and had the satisfaction of feeling the
sprawling spider crawl over that eye to
joy forehead and into my hair, where it
prepared A nest and finally settled down,
no doubt as snugly as a bug in a rug.
jYon may think ytra can imagine my
feelings, but yon cannot. For a. full
half hour, 1 should judge, i endured all
the ospense and torment that comes to
most mortals in a lifetime, and allowed
another spider to slowly crawl np my
leg, not knowing at what time I would
feel those black fangs sink into my flesh,
i "But, thank- God, that did not hap
pen, or I should probably not now be
alive. Ages after that, so it seemed,
jDr. Heath arose, ana, after dressing,
came to see if I - was awake. I whis
pered ' to 'hxat the 'particulars of ray
plight, and in my hair, which had been
standing on end for 1 don't know how
jleag, he discovered and at one killed
tm eftfce tarantulas, as immense fel
Sew, folly three inches long. Carefully
farming back the blankets and examin
ing; me, he found twelve others that had
rmdoubtodlr songhf; mf quarters fer
warmth. These he quickly but quietly
.dispatched in a manner not to alarm the
others. When the strain y was over 1
fainted and was delirious wrfh brain
fever for many days. Since then, yon
rraay. depend .upon .it, I have always
"taken good, care in the selection of a
camping-spot, for of all the bedfellows
tone can encounter one of the most terri-
is - a "tarantula. " Ben Fsaocievo
Rheumatism Cured in Three Days.
Miss Grace Littlejohn is a little girl,
aged eleven years, residingin Baltimore,
Ohio. Bead what she says: . "I? was
troubled with rheumatism for two years,
but could get nothing to do ine any
good. I was so helpless' that I bad to be
carried like a babe when I was advised
to get a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. I got it from our druggists, Mr.
J. A. Kuinber, and in three days I was
up and walking around. I have not felt
any return of it since and my limbs are
limber as they ever were." 50 cent bot

NEW TO-DAY.
TO THE PUBLIC It having come
to our knowledge that a party in
The Dalles in selling lime has made the
assertion that be 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 eet
stronger and firmer than any other lime at
'present manufactured 'in either Oregon
or Washington. Win. ButUr& 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 false im
