MyDkauMauy Ann: I guess you think 1 lind almost forgotten you, but I liuvo hud u spoil of rhouiimtlsm in my hnud (tliuy call it neurnlgln nowaday.- bo I could not write sooner. It hns rain ed over since tho Fair with only now .and then n lino day, and it is not com mon to Jitivo rain set in so soon, and many farmers havo lost much wheat. Mr Siniiiis lost considerable, and ono of his renters lost all of his whilo waiting for a harvester, as did hundreds of oth ers. I could not help thinking that thoso Oregonlans was rather easy folks. Now your Uncle John would havo Just hired a lot of thoso Emigrants, whoaro standing around tho streets wanting work, and Just had that grain cradled and stacked botweon showers. Speak ing of tho rain reminds me to say right hero that I havo not seen one lightning rod since I came and of course no light-ning-rod-ngoat was to bo seen around, though thoy havo all other sorts of agents Just as wo havo postering us at home; and I could not think for a long timo what it was that was wanting to sort of finish up tho houses here, and all at onco I missed those long Irons that point their sharpened Angers to catch the deadly Hume. Mrs. Simms did not know what I meant, when I asked her about It and she said sho had nover hoard of but ono person being killed by lightning, and nover a torna do nor "Blizzard " as In Iowa, and ns for thunder, It's very uncommon, and sho says ono clap will send terror to all animals tho cows will start for homo head and tails up, nnd tho dogs will howl and hide under tho bed. I saw on tho Fair ground that nico gentleman with gold specks who wo saw Id Philadelphia in chargo of tho Oregon exhibit, Mr. Dufur; of course he did not know me. lie delivered the address hero, and when ho was through I vont right up and spoko to him, and he introduced mo to his folks and show ed mo about considerable and mado mo acquainted with some of the exhibitors. Ono was Mr McLaren, tho gentleman 'who sent that nico oat meal that your husband admired so, at tho Centennial. Ho Is a Scotchman too, I know by tho glint of hlsoye, and Mr. McLeod would havo been glad to havo scon tho man who took tho premium over all tho world, oven old Scotia herself, for you Scotch folks nro so clannish with your mt meal porridgo and bannock cakes. Ho had bags of corn meal, cracked wheat, buckwheat, all with blue ribbons on, which showed it was first premium again. You seo nil thoso products are put up In cotton bags hero and arc call ed sacks, I havo not seen a Hour barrel yet. Mr. Dufur Introduced mo to the President of tho society, Mr Wllkins, who also took premium at tho World's Fair for flno wool. Mr. "W. told me, that whilo in Philadelphia, ho got ac quainted with nn Englishman who was a great wool grower, and ho Just show ed him n sample of this wool and ask ed him to express bis opinion in regard to it, not telling him what section of the States it camo from; after a careful examination, this man who had made wool growing a life study, as had his father beforo him, said, that only In one part of England could such staple be produced, and that the climate in which it was grown was almost perfect. Or egon got 35 premiums at the Centenni al, and I bear on all sides that It was the energy and public spirit of Mr. Du Jur that made it possible for such a re ' i - suU, as tho Slate was very niggardly in. appropriating money to help. Ho has mado Oregon famous; California got only flvo, and 9pont its thousands to make a flno display. Tho wheat hero did look nice all displayed in open bags with bundles In the car standing behind. That makes mo think of what n Uttlo lady told mo while coming up on tho steamer. Sho was an Oregon girl, and sho said whilo sho was in San Francisco, a California lady took her to tho Mechanic's Fair, and among other things, her friend pointed to a large and very fine display of grasses and grains, nnd says she: "see what we can ralso In California." Tho lady, who was a bright little school ma'am, soon detected over it all, " Or egon exhibit;" sho said it paid for a good deal of talk about "Web feet," " Long Tom," and Soap creek," to seo that California face settle itself into its usual complacency. Mrs. SI rams makes nico brown bread, and I must tell you how. Two cups of corn meal, pour hot wnter enough on it to scald it, add half cup of sweet milk to cool It, a little salt,'ntul good half cup of syrup, a big cup full of sour milk, a teaspoon of hoda, or a cup of sourdough softened so as to mix well, and then stir in brown flour till it is quite stiff, and put it In a greased can say a 1lvo pound lard can with a tight cover, and set It In a kettle of boiling water, cover tight and keep boiling for three or four hours, and Us Just delicious. YOUU AUNT IIKTTY. Tho State Fair. Thero seems to bo quite nn excite ment about tho way tho Slate Fair is managed; overy body finds fault with lho management of tho society, with out knowing anything about what is done, or what is going to bo done. Tho best way for those fault-finding peo ple to do Is to Join the society and help manage the Fair after this, and sc that it is done better than it has been In times past; every ono knows how It should be done, but no ono takes hold of It. I'll tell you what tho matter Is: Tho threo dollars that it takes to be a member is pinched too tight. All they want Is tho premium money nnd ihoy dont caro what becomes of tho Agricul tural society, but still Uko employment as superintendent!, or committee-men, for thoy think it quite nn honor to fill theso places, besidos thoy cot pay for It, and that is quite an item. Lot the Bocloty look out for Itself and the people will do tho samo. Now lot us look at tho way things go on at tho Fair: While tho many visitors find so much injus tice done there, I think if thoy would make themselves acquainted with tho constitution, rules, nnd regulations of tho society, thoy would not seo so much of what they call partiality. It Is not supposed that wo all seo allkej and ovoryboJy cannot havo a premium, that enters for it, as long ns there nro nino knit bed-spreads entered for tho samo promium. I think thero Is some mlstnko about ono pair of blankets hav ing tho first premium for ten years, for that pair of blankets woro fao nearly worn out that they had to bo colored, to hide tho wear, nnd tho judges wero not well enough posted to know tho difference last year, and this year they woro not there, unless thoy wero bleach ed out and brought In white. Turner, Nov. 10, 1877. Mathon. The Science of Floor Scrubbing. "Top-dust" can bo washed ofi with out groat Inbor. Havo tho water only moderately warm, especially when the floor Is of soft wood, because hot water sinks in so rapidly, and occupies so much moro timo In drying than cool watt r upon wood. Drain tho mop pret ty well beforo putting it upon tho floor, thus wetting the floor but little. Tho object is to wipe up the dust as thor oughly as possible, rinsing It oil' from tho water, and changing tho wator for tieanor very often. If you put much water upon a very dusty floor, yon havo a big, troublesome mud-puddle to sop uporrlnsoaway. Experiment has con vinced mo that a floor made of pine or basswood looks best uftcr cleaning, If a small amount of water bus been put on each portion of it. Use as much wnter as you please on tho whole floor, tho moro tho better, if you wash and wipe only a small portion at a time, and thou throw out the dirty water, nnd begin tho next division with clean water. Tho sooner a soft wood floor dries, tho better it looks. I havo seen women work very hard to scrub a pine or bass wood floor white, and the result has been quite disappointing. They would put a great deal of water upjn the floor and then fecrub with a broom hard and long; after this would sweep all the dirty water out, and rinse the floor with as many waters as they could aflbrd. When at last the weU soaked floor was dry, it was undoubtedly clean, but it looked dark and somewhat weather beaten, in consequence of remaining wet so long. It Is a question of health with me, in wiiter, to havo a dry floor as soon as possible. A little lyo in the water has an excellent effect upon floors. It may be poured directly upon decided greasy spots, but the whole floor If - W.UXAMgll Hi Jt AJrtMJairt. . aw"- . - whitened with very Uttlo hard rubbing if a small amount of lyo is mixed with tho water. Too much makes the boards yellow. How much should ho usod de pends upon Its strength. Never put lyo inlo tho water with which you wash a painted floor, elso you gradually but steadily removo- lho paint with each cleaning. If you let nn inexperienced hired girl havo her own way with a painted floor, sho will probably use her boiling suds upon It, nnd soon removo nearly aU of tho best paint. Clean warm water is best for painted floors. If you havo a nico hard-wood floor, bo thank ful, especially If It be of white ash, but never let its spotlesstiess become dear er to your heart thnn the family peace. You learn by experiment how much nicer ono of theso hard floors looks, when washed with clean suds, than when washed with tho boiling suds of Monday. Let those who like get down upon their knees, nnd scrub their floors with brushes and floor-cloths such work is not for mo nor mine, nnd I consider It pitiful business for any one. I hear of long handled scrubbing brushes, and doubtless those nro suitablo for human beings In tho work of floor-cleaning. What I most want Is a cheap and easy mop wringer, for I dislike extremely toimt my linnd Into tho mopping water. Of such a wringer I havo lieard, but hav6 had no experience of its merits. Whal's in tho Rag Bag! Tho " finds " In tho rag hag nnd tho rubbish heap aru sometimes not a little Htirious. A mistress allows Betty, the maid, to keen a rag bag, and occasion ally Betty yields to the temptation of putting into mat tag articles wniuii are cerialnly not rags. But apart from any suspicion of dishonesty, valuables find themselves In very odd places, through Inadvertency or forgetfuluus-. We need not say much ttlioift such small creatures as Insects spliers or lizards, that are found by the paper makers in bundles oi esparto; tucy mo unwel come intrusions rather than finds. A patent loi'k was onco lotum anion-' tuu contents of a family rag bag; and ns it was worth flvo shillings, tho buyer was well content. An old Latin prayer book, bought as wate paper, had a bun nle of nails, curiously linked together, packed insldo It. Half-sovereigns and other coinsaro found in cast-oil' pockets, In tho heels of old stockings, and inside tho llnlngsof dresses. An old coat, pur chased by a Loudon dealer, rcveiued tho fact a Joyful fact to tho buyer that the buttons consisted of sovereigns covered with cloth. Three pouuds ster ling, in German paper money, found their way Into a bundlo of German rags that reached a paper maker. Tho Lon don rng-brigado boys onco found a bank check-book, nnd on another occasion six nairsof nowstockinurs. In waste ta- per and rags which they had bought; these unexpected articles wore, to tho honor or tho urignuo, at onco returnou. A raro find onco occurred In tho Houndsditch region. A dealer of tho gontlo sex, wo are told gavo sovon ponco nnd a pint of beer for a pair of old breeches; whilo tho bargain was being ratified at a public house, the buyer began to rip up tho garment, when out rolled cloven goldou guineas wrapped up In a thirty-pound bank noto. Wo rather think that In tho strictness of tho law tho guineas of this treasuio-trovobolonged to tho crown: but most likely tho elated buyer and tho mortified seller mado merry over tho windfall. Many people, in tho days when banking was Utile understood, had a habit of concealing their spare money about their porsons; thusan old waist-coat,' bought for a trifle, was found lined with bank notes. But of all the finds, what shall wo think of a buby? A pajKir manufacturer assures us that in a bag of rags brought from Leghorn, nnd opened at an Edinburgh paper-mill, a tiny baby was found, press ed almost flat. Chamber's Journal. A Modern Evangeline. Tho story of Evangeline is ropoated with wonderful fidelity In al its details In tho experience of u yonug French girl, a resident of Marseilles. She was engaged to a sailor, to whom sho was to bo married on his return from a voy ago to Now York. Ho did not return, and, after a year, sho got it berth as stewardess' assistant on ono of Havre steamers, to como hero in search of him. On tho passago a rich American lady became interested In her story and resolved to help her find out her lovor. In Now York sho learned, that lio had gono to Canada. For months sho traveled about tho Dominion, some times close on his track, and again losing overy duo ns to his whereabouts. She returned to New York, and ono day, whilo standing at a Broadway crossing wailing her turn to get across, sho saw the object of her long search on the other side. Sho shrieked his name and ran into tho middle of the street, but a policeman caught her and saved her from tho wheels of the string of vehicles. "Angels of God there was none," and she never again saw the Gabriel she had so long sought and so nearly found. Sho learned then that lie had sailed for San Francisco, and so went overland to California to meet him. Arrived on the Pacific coast, sho found that her lover had fallen over board Just nut the Heads and been drowned. Meanwhile tho body of a young man, dressed In sailor's clothes. was cast ashore on tho beach, carried to tho coroner's office, nnd, not being identified, was interred in the public cemetery. A water-sodden pockot book was (nkon from tho dead man, wh'ch contained only a few letters written In French and tinaddressed. The girl, hearing of this, went to the coroner's office and found that tho let ters wero hers. The waves had tar dily and partially recompensed her de voted search, and she was able to find tho grave of her devoted lover. New i'or.': World. .- i BREVITIES. "' l Thero aro 2,750 langunges.

It Is a Uttlo singular that they should not have been discovered beforo this yenr, espe cially ns tho astronomers now mako nasie to snow tnat tnoy nau lor a long timo been thinking about thorn. A Mr. Brumham, of London, says that years ago ho discovered tho law that ought to glvo two moons to Mars, whilo Sat urn ought to havo an eighth moon, Uranus sixteen, Ncptuno thirty-two. The eighth moon of Saturn did como to light, as predicted, and Mr. Bmm ham remarks that tho astronomers now have to look diligently for the remain ing twelve moons of Uranus. Ho had hoped himself to discover tho two small moons of Mars, which ho know woro to bo found this year If at all, when that planet upproached nearest to tho earth, but ho confesses ho was disap pointed. An American hns been before III tn. The outer batelllte, i. appears, has a diameter of but two or threo miles, and tho inner ono a still smaller one. which will supply tho reason for their long concealment. CHOICE RECIPES. Washing Wooi.kn hooiw. All de scriptions of woo.eu goods should be washed in very hot water with soap; and as soon us tho article is cleaned Im merse it in cold witor; then let It bo hung up to be dried. To Maki: Calico iH Wash Wj:u.. Infuse three uIlls of salt in four quarts of boiling water, and put lho calicoes in while hot, ami leave tuem tin cold; In this way tno colors are ronciorou per manent, and will not fade by subse quent washing. Cmiau Staiioii. Take two tablo spoonsful of starch dissolved in as much water; add a gill of cold wator; then add ono pint of boiling wnter, and boll it half an hour, adding a small pleco of spermaceti, sugar, or salt; strain, etc. Thin It with water.

If the father is tho boy's best friend, ns nil wlso mothers are tho girls', there is no trouble about keeping thorn from bad associates, whoso vicious examples and silly brav do havea lasting effect upon tholr char acters. Fathers, In your efforts to so cure fortunes for your families, remem bor that money will not savo you from tho heart-acho f your boys go wrong, and that their only safety is In being kept closo by your sldo, holplng you in business, nnd you in turn sharing tholr fun and play. Nothing is so flattering to boys ns tho socloty of tholr fathers, and nothing makes a man so popular with them as his Joining in tholr nmusomonts. Try to do this, and your sons will try In turn to understand your cares nnd troubles. Take as much pnTiis to preserve them from contam ination In tho sliapo of Immoral com panionship as mothers do their girls, nnd you will find them growing up to bo modest and virtuous young- moil, fit companions and husbands for girls who havo boon carefully guided from all knoledgo or ovll. Bovoto your ovenpigs to family nmiisomohts and pleasures. Invito young people to your house and pay thorn attention, instead of going oil' to bed or shutting yourself In another room tho moment thoy make thoirappoarance, as If thero was, and could be, nothing between your manhood and their youth. So shall you be kept young in heart, and tho inexperience or your sons will bo tempered with tomothlng of tho sob riety of experience. AViuhinia niii.i.K. Tho "Powha tan estate" was for two hundred years tho properly of tho Mayo famllv and here, as the story goes, John Howard Payne fell madly In love, when in BIchinDiid, with Miss Maria Muyo (afterward Mrs. General Wlnlleld Scott), a famous Richmond hello in her day, and remarkable for hor wit and Intelligence, as well as for hor extraor dinary beauty. Poor Payne laid his heart at hor feet, but sho is said to havo foyed and coquetled with tnnd tiion to havo flung it aside. Wlion all hope of winning tho fair prlzo was abandoned, Pavno went to Kuropo, whero ho remained for nearly twenty years and where ho wrote his "Home, Sweet Homo," which wa first sung in his opora of "Clare," at London. This traditional incident in tho life or Payne revives another (and one still current iii Richmond) connected with General Scott. It is said that when ho first ad dressed Miss Mnyoiio was only a cap Liln In tho regular nimy, and his suit wtos summarily dismissed. Aftorward, when a major, ho renewed tho profrorof hiskand, but with no better success. Tho third timo ho woro tho epaulets of a gonornl, and these promptly secured his acccptanco. When asked by one of her friends why shoh.id thus suddenly changed her mind, MissInyo is said to have replied. "In tihy estimation, thero is a very decided 'difference bo- (a captain, or oven a major, ana I in tno American army." Dr. H. 8MITH, 3D ENTIST, SALEM, OREGON. Office moved over DRETMAN 1)1108.'
