A fine rain commenced falling in the
Dufur neighborhood yesterday at noon,
lasting for four or five hours.
We regret to learn that Hon. W. McD
Lwis of Wapinitia has been confined to
We room in the Umatilla house for tbe
past two or three days.
Joe Simon did not vote for Harrison,
yesterday. Harrison is clearly no Simon

, vive the deprivation of Simon's vote?
Sherman county has elected a demo
cratic sheriff, county1 judge, county com
missioner and school superintendent.
The majority in favor of Moro for county
seat is 113.
Polk Mays, son of Mayor Mays, has
been elected on the republican ticket as
a member of the legislature from Wil

There were three tickets in the field.
An employe of the U. P. R. R. Co.
named Gallagher, was badly injured by
-accident on the early freight this morn-,
ing, a train upon which he was engaged.
Dr. Logan is attending to his injuries.
Phil Metschan, jr., son of State Treas
urer Metschan, had the misfortune on
Sth inst., to fall and break his right arm,
and that in nearly the same place it was
broken a short time ago. The member
has been put in good shape and he is
able to be about. '
The rain yesterday extended over a
- large scope of country south of Tbe
Dalles. A gentleman from Moro says a
lively shower fell there, and it seemed to
be raining bevond that place. This will
be another blessing added to the many
already showered upon residents of the
favored inland empire:
A lad of seven or eight years, whose
name we were unable to learn, attempt
ed at noon today to cross in front of an
engine that was backing in front of the
" Umatilla house. He was knocked on
the head by the corner of the tender,
and luckily fell outward, else this would
have been his obituary. He picked him
self up, scratched his head, put on his
hat, and walked off.
The Chronicle namesakes in Oregon
and Washington seem to be flourishing.
The Portland Chronicle. 6f yesterday
came to us enlarged to eight pages,
printed on fine book paper, and cram-jam-full
of rich reading and an advertis-
ing patronage which signifies success.
. The Frankfort Chronicle and the
Spokane Chronicle, are both eight page
papers now, and we expect to see Mc-
Comas wheel into line and " adopt the
same dress for the La Grande Chronicle
. before long. s ' .
Never was money spent in Wasco
bunty, more judiciously, more econom
ically, or to greater profit to the people
r, than the money spent on the Tygh Hill
grade. . No man could have been select
ed in the county who was better fitted
to superintend the construction of the
road than T. J. Driver. From being the
. worst road in any country a perfect
- horse killer we have, now a grade whose
character may be judged from the fact
that Ike Driver offers a standing bet of
$100 that when the road'packs and set
tles he will haul up it, from bottom to
top, 100 bushels of wheat, with one span
of horses.. .

thing near $1,400, was subscribed at
Wasco on election day, .'about $300 or

raise $5,000. 'Many would like to have

The Kins; Teredo.
Astorian The waters of the Columbia
river, flowing by the wharves of Astoria,
are death to the teredo, that destroyer of
wharves, as shown by the "monster that
was found drifted ashore from Alaska,
on the beach at Main street wharf yester
day. . A pile so rotten it broke on striking
the beach, came ashore and as the log
split open a huge teredo, ten feet in
length and one and one-quarter inches
in diameter, was exposed to view. The
teredo was in the last throes of .death,
the jaws, 'armed with saw-like teeth,
working but for a moment after being
exposed to the air.
An Indians' Daughters.
Assotin Sentinel. In the Indian camp
on the Grand Ronde river, are seventeen
marriageable Indian girls, eome of whom
want white men for husbands, and shun
the idea of marrying oue of their own
race. The father of one of these girls
offers an inducement; of 200 head of good
horses to some young white man that
will marry his daughter. The old In
dian states that not any hoodlum of a
white fellow will do, but he must be a
young man of good character and ad
dress, and able to provide his wife with
a rood home. ' '
The Australian Ballot J.aw.
A citizen propounds the following in
quiry : "As I am informed it is the in
tention to conduct the coming Dalles
City election under the old law. Have
we any election law in Oregon now, ex
cept what is called the Australian ballot
law ; and as The Dalles city charier pro
vides that Dalles City elections shall be
held under the state law. how can anv
other law be used?"
. Answer. '
-Section O of the Australian ballot law
eays : "All general or special elections
hereafter held in this state shall be con
ducted under tbe provisionsof this act."
' Section 23 of The Dalles city charter
says : ''All laws of this state regulating
and governing general elections and pro
ceedings and matters incidental thereto,
shall apply to and govern elections un
der this act except as herein otherwise
provided." Tbe charter provides for
the time of holdiug elections the num
ber of days notice required, the time
when the polls shall open and close, the
qualification of voters, the. manner of
making returns and other minor provis-.
ions,' but nothing whatever is said re
garding the ballots or the mode of cast
ing them the most radical and import
ant feature of the new law. The editor
of The Chhoxicle is not a lawyer, but
he cannot understand how the language
of the two sections quoted above can be
construed so as not to make it impera
tive that our cijy elections shall be con
ducted according to the provisions of the
new law except in so far as the charter
provides otherwise.

Aaron Burr's Eyes.
The late Miss Theodosia Burr Davis,
of New York, was a dear friend of mine
in the long. long ago days. The- niece
and ward of Matthew L. Davis, the in- j
timate associate and biocrrariher of Burr.
Lshe had a store of anecdotes of men who
figured prominently in national affairs j
seventy or eighty 'years since; but this
one) which 1 shall repeat as nearly as
possible . in her,, own words interested i
me most of all: . v
"' "1 was a schoolgirl of fourteen, spend
ing a short vacation at Uncle Matthew's
house ia .the city, when one day I heard
him calling to me from the hall below
and went, to the head of the stairs. -Come
down,' he said. 'There is a gen
tleman here who wishes to see yon.' 1
hesitated, held back by some tmdefinable
fear. Again he said, 'Come down,' and
in such tones that I dared not disobey.
He led me into the parlor, and there on
the sofa sat an old man whom 1 had
never before seen. Very old he looked,
dressed in the costume of the last cen
tury, with his snow white hair drawn
back and tied in a cue' behind. But his
eyes they were not -old. Large, dark
and deep, they flashed with all the fire
of youth. I never saw such eyes in man
or woman. They fascinated while they
frightened me. - x- -
"My uncle led. me forward and said:
"Colonel Burr, this is the child of whom
I spoke. I need not tell von whose name
she bears.' The old man rose, took my
hand in his and held me out at arms
length and looked at me looked at me
with thoee eyes which seemed to see into
my very souL Only a moment, but -the
moment was an hour. Then he dropped
my hands and exclaimed in a voice
trembling with emotion: "Take her away.
Matthew, take her awayl 1 cannot bear
itr I saw him only once afterward; it
was on Broadway, and 1 tried to slip by
him. unperceived. ' But when I turned
to look back he was standing still, fol
lowing me with those wonderful, won
derful eyea They haunt me still, and
will, 1 know, while memory lasts.! St.

Macaulaj su a Host.
Macanlay was a pattern host. On his
own acconnt, it is true, he was no epi
cure, and his nephew tells us that at any
time he would have been amply satis
fied with a dinner snub as is served at a
decent seaside lodging honse. This was
a sad moral defect, but happily his con
scientious views of the obligations of
hospitality prevented his guests from
suffering by it. He generally selected
by a half conscious preference dishes of
established character and traditional
fame. His Dissenting friends he treated
to a fillet of veal, "which be maintained
to be the recognized Sunday dinner in
good old Nonconformist families." "On
Michaelmas day he would ' have been
wretched hud no goose smoked on the
boards At- Christina he never forgot
the old historic turkey.
If he was entertaining a couple of
schoolboys who could construe the
fourth satire of, Juvenal, he would re
ward them for their proficiency with a
dish of mullet that might have passed
muster on the table of an augnr or an
emperor s FretMlmau. With regard to
the contents of his cellar, Macanlay
prided himself on being able to say with
Mr. John Thorp, "Mine is famous good
stuff, to be sure." and if he were taken
to task for his extravagance he would
reply,:iu the words used by another of
his favorite characters ' in fiction, that
there was a great deal of good eating
and drinking in 700 a year, if people
knew how to manage it. All the Year

The Seniors In War.
. ' One" marked difference divided the
generals of Frederick William III from
those of NaiKileou. The Dnkeof Bruns
wick was seveuty-one years old. Prince
Hohenlohe. sixty, and among subordi
nate commanders were men of sixty
eight, seventy a nd" seventy-four. Lefe-
bvre. the oldest trench general, was
barely fifty -one. Angereau, forty-eight;
Bernadotte," forty -two; Napoleon, Ney,
Soult and Launes. thirty-seven: Murat
only Ahirty-five.
Excepting for the intervention in Hol
land in l?o7. and tbe Duke of Bruns
wick's ill starred invasion of Champagne
in I7SKJ. the Prussian army like that of
Great - Britain in 1854 had suffered
from a long peace, one of tbe results in
each case being a certain-; disbelief fa

writinx in 17US under the title "Is it
necessary that we shonld only have
young generals?" decided the - question
in the negative; and in tbe British army

of Napoleon or Murat at Jena may find
his energies conhned to the command of
a company, whatever his . capacity.

Claims .Before Cod gres.
Immediately after every change of ad
ministration, claims which were disal
lowed by the outgoing power pour in by
thousands, to be considered and rejected-
again. Applicants imagine,; evidently.
that what one party will not grant the
other may grant. Their .persistence in
many cases is astonishing. . One citizen,
who has not tbe shadow of a right to
back him up, has written more than
1,000 letters to the treasury respecting
his demand, and has expended more
money in postage than the valne of the
claim. . He has addressed his communi
cations on the subject to every public
official in Washington, from the presi
dent down, and even to tha. Chinese aud
other - foreigoi .ministers Washington

A Maine woman who had an irreli
gious husband kept driving at him until
she ' finally got him to go to church.
Now mark how she was rewarded. . In
stead of following the service he looked
at the congregation and noticed how
much more twuidsomeiy the other wom
en were dresned than bis wife. This fact
pricked him to tbe heart ns no words of
the minister could, and the next day he
gave his wife $500 and told, her to go and
buy some clothes. Need we enlarge on
the moral of this story? We think not.
