r Tom Ward was out this afternoon
I with a big sleigh drawn by four black
1 horses, and loaded with some of the very
handsomest young gentlemen in the

immense fur overcoat, and his beard and
tout ensemble, whatever that is, was
topped out by a four story hat. He waa
the happiest man in the state, not even
excepting Jonathan Bourne.

A FIRST-CLASS COMPANY.
The Judgment of All Who Heard French
and his Talented Co. Last Might.
The "bolden? Giant" at the opera
house' last night was . beyond question
the best play that has been on the boards
here for a long time. We have had so
many troupes of at least; medium talent
that our people have grown chary about
patronizing them. This was shown by
the light attendance laBt night. We
want to say tight here that those who
miss seeing "Davy Crockett" tonight
and"Phoenix" tomorrow night,are going
to miss a genuine treat. The company
is a first class one and their acting last
night was superb. This is not the state
ment of some far away newspaper but
the assertion of everyone who attended
the play last night. Mr. French as
Jack Mason waa perfect and so was
his support. It is quite certain that
those who saw the "Golden Giant" last
night will be in their seats early tonight
to see the curtain rise on "Davy
Crockett." -
The way to have good actors viBit us
is to patronize them when they do, and
tonight everyone who appreciates a good
clean play and first-class acting should
see this talented company. Reserved
seats at Blakeley & Houghton's, and if
you take our advice, you will fill one of
them.. .
Commissioners' Court.
The county commissioners were in
session all day yesterday and today, but
have about completed their labors for
the term. The January term is always
a long one and this has been no excep
tion. The settlipg with the road super
visors takes considerable time, and the
business of the December term of the
circuit court brings in a large quota of
bills which in this case have ? been
largely augmented by the trial of Savage
and Klein. These bills are numerous
but outside of that are not very formida
ble, for most of them are small. It is
quite probable the business of the term
will be completed tonight, though it may
ke a portion of tomorrow.

And the Worm Turned.
He waa a small, slender man, wth
skim-milk eyes, both as to color and
their well watered condition, and his
whole appearance betokened one who
had grown weary in the battle of life.
Hia Prince Albert coat, that had been
made for some one much larger than
himself, clung affectionately to his form,
in places, and was buttoned tightly un
der his chin. A Fedora hat, much the
worse for wear, sat Equarely upon "his
molasses-candy-colored hair, as firmly
as the untoward Fates did on him. A
pair of pants, jeans, fit the sinuosities of
his meager limbs so tightly that one
could not but wonder if he put his pants
on first, how he evef got his boot legs
under them, yet it seemed not a very
difficult feat either, if you observed that
they bad but a little distance to go, the
panta navmg been pulled quite young.
Taken all together, he was not prepos
sessing, yet when he slipped up to Col.
Sinnott, of the Umatilla House, and
rested his weight on one foot, while he
lifted his Fedora in a deprecatory sort
of way, there was such an air of listless,
hopeless, woe-begone despondency about
him as to make him a sort of living and
pathetic protest against life.
He shifted uneasily from hia right
foot to his left, and then back to the
right again, while the Fedora balanced
on the index finger of his left hand, re
volved slowly like the earth, from left to
right, being twirled absent-mindedly as
he requested something to eat, and ex
pressed hia willingness to work tor it.
Something to eat? Why, of course,"
said the Col; "but what can you do?
Can you saw wood?' ' The gaze that had
been vacant before, became fixed ; the
listnessness vanished, the hat ceased to
twirl, and his weight rested for an in
stant firmly on both feet. Then his
lower lip quivered, his left hand tremu
lously sought his lace, and tire big tears
gathering in his eyes, welled over, aud
impinging on his weather-beaten cheeks,
fell with a crescendo movement to the
floor. The Col. was touched, and find
ing the little fellow a seat by the stove,
sat down -and by degrees won from him
this tale:
"You see," said the little man mourn
fully,; "when you spoke of sawing woo'd
you touched a tender spot. I haint
done nothin' but saw wood for nigh onto
fourteen years. I was married twenty
years ago to my Ann, a pretty girl, too,
she was, that might have done better ;
but somehow, things didn't go right, and
by the time our first babyjwas 5 years old
and the youngest of our four was nearly
a year, I had spent what little money I
had saved when I got married ; and be
sides, owing to the man I worked for
dying, I was left without work. Well
I bought a buck saw, and thought to
fill the hungry months that way, until
something better turned - up. When
spring came, the only thing (hat . had
turned up was James, that .was our fifth
child. I didn't" have time then to look
for' anything ' else, it taking all my time
pumping the buck-saw, so many pumps,
for bread, to many for potatoes, so many
for paregoric and red "flannel. Good

Lord ! It makes my back ache when I
think of it.
"Well, it wasn't long until spring came
around again, and so did Omega. That
was our sixth child, a girl ; but in spite
of the name, we only passed one spring
until another girl arrived. More pare
goric, more red flannel, and the bread
and potatoes required considerable more
pumps over the buck-saw. Another
spring passed, and then another, with ft
total failure of crops, eo to speak, and I
begin to take heart again ; and then the
next spring it was twins. I didn't say
nothin',. but kept ,on sawing wood, bat
I tell you it was tough. Every morning
the streak of i day found me bowing over
that saw, and I neyer .bowed myself out
until it was too doo dark Jo see.. ,
The years fled by" quick enough , and
without interest, except that. I used to
get, .uneasy in ,'the Spring , Wondering if
paregoric and. red flannel were going to
be in the bill,: and expecting every night
when I went home to hear a new; cry ;
also wondering why some of the rich
fellows whom I sawed wood for wasn't
picked oat Jby the babies for a father to
themselves, instead of eternally select
ing me. It was flattering, of course,
their choosing me, but hang flattery,
any way ! .
"Well, to make a long story short, I
stuck to the buck -saw and its successors
(for I wore out many a one), nntil last
spring. There were thirteen in the
family still at horns, a couple of the old
est girls' being out at work and helping
me some. Last spring, I confers it with
shame, I abandoned my family and the
d d back-saw. My bump of parental
affection is developed sufficiently, and I
would have still been pushing that buck
saw, bat last spring, when the crops
failed again, and I begin to pick up a
bit, my Ann that's my wife took sick,
or rather she took hungry; She had an
appetite like a cross-cut saw, and when
she had about eaten us out of a house
and home, I got the county doctor to
come down and see her. After he had
got through with his examination, he
turned to me, and says he: "Mr. Wil
liamson, your wife has a tape-worm.'
That day I went to my work as usual,
but I never went back. I left the buck
saw, for it was tuneless. I did not act
hastily, but I just figured it out that
fifteen mouths were all any man could
be expected tafill with one buck-saw,
and that nothing smaller than the
county was capable of running np
against the tape. I have a chronic ob
jection to sawing wood, but if you have
anything else, I'll do it."
The Col. waa touched, and the man
got his supper without tackling the
wood pile. The next day the CoL
called us across the street, and the first
thing he said, as we smoked (at hia ex
pense), was: f'Say! Do you remember
that little chap with the wood-sawing
experience that was here last night?"
On our answering in the affirmative, he
went on r "Well, sir; do you know: fur
ther that he lied?" "Why, how was
that, Col. ?" we asked.;. "How? . Why,
the little shrimp, he had the tape-worm
himself." .
