Garrett writes to the Spokes man Review concerning Mrs. M. J. Delaney, who started to Oregon in 1844 with her parents, both of whom died on the way. With her brothers autl sisters she reached the Whitman station, and the whole lot were taken care of by him. She was captured at the Whitman massacre by the In dians and ransomed by the Hudson Bay Co. She is now poverty-stricken and crippled with rheumatism and resides at Farmington. The story awakens sympathy and pity, not for her poverty nor for her crippled condition, for those things are of the common lot. The sting of the story lies in its tail, the con eluding sentence being: "Does it not seem a shame that she must now, in her crippled old age, eat the bread of charity and become a bur den on her children, who are barely able to care for their own families." There lies, for her, the bitterness, that in her old age the hands that toiled until tbey could toil no more lor her children, and that gave royal ly, must receive the begrudged gifj; of food from those who reaped the harvest of her bounty; that the lips that pressed the mother's kiss upon the baby lips must ask that baby grown to manhood for alms. Truly it is a shame; but the shame lies with those who think their mother a bur den and permit her condition to be come so grievous that the public is culled upon to assist her. While comfortably quartered on the deck of an ocean steamer, the re freshing breezes that gather inspira tion as they sweep the silvery surface of Puget sound, cooling his exten sive brow and toying with his sorrel locks, Joaquin Miller writes beauti fully of the pleasures of Cloniyke mining. He grows enthusiastic, elo quent and poetical as he describes the natural advantages offered by Northern Alaska a run over the Chilcoot, a float down the Yukon. "Viewed from this position the Clon dyke appears perfectly enchanting to the old poet. He is going to stroll over alone from Dyea, taking every thing (including provisions) perfect ly easy, and will jot down his experi ence each day for his syndicate arti cles. The letters descriptive of the journey in will no doubt be rosy hued and romantic. The prose part will probably show up in the letters descriptive of the sojourn at the dig gins and the journey out. If there is one thing more than another cal culated to convince a man that "life is real, life is earnest," and put a saw-tooth edge on bis poetic nature, we should imagine a winter in Clon dyke on a dog meat diet to be the thing. It will be interesting to con trast the literary productions of Joa quin Miller with those of Joaqnot Miller. Pendleton Tribune. The expected has happened at Dyea, and 3000 gold-seekers are en can" ped there waiting to get their goods packed over the mountains. That this was certain to be the case was plain to everj one who had not a coal oil can full of gold dust in each eye. Given "1600 pounds of stuff tD be conveyed thirty-one miles by each person, the only means of transportation being a pack train of Indians, supplemented by the owner of the freight, and it is not difficult to reach the conclusion that the job is a big one. Not half so difficult, as to get the goods over the mount- ain. Tlje result is as expected, many already discouraged are selling their outfits for anything they can get, and returning to civilization, to do what they should have done at first, wait until spring, And Etill the lush continues as fast as rotten " -ao condemned old hulks and iox.0 ., . i ,-wjr tb0 mad- Ain tip rpnrrpftt.Pfl TO - . flJJ ding crowd, and it will continue winter if transportation to Dyea is provided. The Editor of the Eugene Guard confesses to not being farmer enough to know whether thirty-four grains of wheat in one head is a good yield or not. This confession is decidedly startling, but indicates that the pro fession is advancing, and leads one to hope that .the time may come when the agricultural editor will cease his long dissertations about "The Best Way to Curry Hens," and his labored researches along the sug gestive lines, ''Plant Food Consid ered in Relation to Its Effect Upon Angora Goats." There are just a few things "we editors" don't know any old thing about, and one of the few is teaching . a. farmer how to farm. We don't believe in the use of the "K" in spelling Clondyke, nor do we think the "i" preferable to the "y" in Klondyke. The "i" might be all right provided it beguu with a "C," and was spelled Clondike; but as the department e'erks at Washington know all about Indian names, and everything else pertaining to the Pa cific coast, and as they have decided on K-!-o-n-d-i-k-e, Klondike, the latter will have to go. After all it doesn't matter much how it is spelled. for the worst spell in connection with it will be that the fellows on their way there will have. ELrS CREAM BALM is a positive care.

In 1862, when I served my conntry as a private in Company A, 167th Penn sylvania Volunteers, . I contracted chronic diarrhoea. It haa given me great deal of trouble ever since.
