w.' WILLAMETTE FARMER: PORTLAND, OREGON. JULY 28, 1882, ll ltv- nrrcni .firn.t.re. Training Husband. 60 you want ter know how I came tcr lic Caleb, w lien I knew jest lieow lio used Nuncy, bll 8rt wife. Wall, I'll tell ye all about it. You know DanT leftmc pretty poorly i tr. I btd two little children, an' what tcr dew I didn't know. The mortgage wns ter run eout in about a year an' a half arter he died. I'd Hot the children down to brother John's tei go to school. llrother John wanted mc to give tbem ter him, an' he'd do well by 'em, nn' I was meditating on it, orful loth to dew it. JJnt wtart else could I dew with 'cm w'ltu the Old farm was took away from me? One' day, when tho time was near i out, I m a hoein' the beans side of the fence jinin' Caleb's cornfield. I tell yer, Hannah, I never Belt bluer in all my born days. I'd allcrs lived an' worked on a farm, an' couldn't do no oth er kind of work; so what was to become of me I didn't know. "Purty good hoviu' for a green hand," sc? (Omebody over the fence. "Yes," scz I. "I've done enough of it since I was left alone. 'Practice makes perfect,' we used ter write in our copy tiook when we Wtre child'en, " an' I couldn't help heaving a "Wal, Emmcline," sez he, "your'n I seem to be in the same fix. You need a man to do your boeing and sich, au' I need a woman to ace ter my house, au' if you'ro agreed we'll hitch horses and work in double names'. I Can't find no hired help that'd do ns Nancy did." (Thinks I to myself, an' you'll never find another 'twill cither.) "So what d'ye say, Emmcline?" P'raps I didn think o nothing for tho ncx' few minutes. It all (lashed ocr mo in a sec Ont, what an unfeclin' man he'd alters ben. Poor Nancy had ter dew all tho house work, n' a good deal belonging tcr him tcr dew, an' be was stinger than an old miser, tew. I know he was a smart man tcr work, was forehanded, and was ablo to live in good do.il better shape than ho did, au' you know, Kan nah, that poor Dan'l was just the oppcrnitu. He was a norful clever man, was Dan'el, but kind o' shiftless an' easy, an' allers worried me ter hev things goin' so slack. Scz I to my self, a body can't hev everything; there's al ien tome oouts, an' a poor man's hotter' n none. So I speaks right up, an' I sc?: "Caleb, wo've boon n.ibors for many a year. I know your faili'ns an' s'poso you know mine; an' 10, if you say so, all right; p'r'aps we both might do wuss." Wal, ter make a long story short, we agreed to bev the business dun right oil, Caleb said tbet it was stylish to go on a weddin' tower BOW-n-days, and, as he wanted ter go deown to Bangor to aeo about selling his wool, an' as Sirih Jane Curtis (who used to work for him) lived about half way, an' wo could stop there both' ways and not cost us anything, 1)0 thought we'd better go. His niece, Kebeccn Oilman, yer know, lives there, and wo could make her a visit at tho sanio time, llruthcr John lives tlicro tow, you know, an' I'd made up my mind that I'd jest bring home tho child'eu. An' so I did; but Caleb. ho was orful sot gin It, but sed "of eourse they can come and make a visit;" an' I lot him think so, 'cause I wunt quite ready to have words with him yet Wo stayed about a week, nil' got homo Along in the afternoon all right. The ncx' inornin' I woke up purty early, an' I sez to rnyselfi "Coursgo Kmmcline, now or never." I krp' still, for Caleb was still a suorin', but bime by hu. fetched an onairthly snort that waks't himself up, au' w'eu ho see as it was gettin daylight, ho nuged mo an sez ho; "Yake up, ICmmcrlino. Kminvrlino, its broad daylight; come, come, get up, we shan't Jiev auy breakfast tcrday," I was orful hard ter wako, but after awhilo I managed ter, an' while I was a rubbiu' my eyes, I sez, "(lot a good lire, ain't je, Caleb?" "Fire!" said lie. "No, I never build any fires. Nancy allers built tho firca." "Did she?" sez I, oool as a cuiumber. "So (j!U Daniel." I turned oxer and went to sleep again or At least, ho thought I did. Wall, hu wiggled, and turned, and twisted, en' ho didn't nrdvo ter get up fcr about an hour, an' when the sun rose an' shone inter the bedroom winder, hu got up and built the fire. There wasn't no kindling's, nor a stick of wood, an' lie had to skirmish round luoly au' get some. Arter the tire got to crackling in good shape I rot up. I didn't hurry none, let me tell oti. I was inns' dead lying abed so loug, but sez I to myself, "Kf I make the fires now, I'll prob'ly hey to do it in cold weather, an' I won't do it for auy man." He was pretty sullen all day, but I didn't take 110 notice of him, an' he got over it. The next day he was t r begin hayin', an' he had tix men ter help him, I lias) ter do all the work, ait' take carp of tho milk W churnin' en' it' was no fool of a job. Come time tor get dinner, an' there wasn't a sliver of wood cut. I sent Johnnie (he waa theu about seven )ears Old) out iu the Held ter tell Caleb I wanted him. .Ho came in looking savage enough, ami wanted to know what it was I wanted. Sea It "I want some wood ter burn. Wal," era he, "tlicr's whole wood pile ont there. Help yrrsrlf," 'An' not a stick split," sea I, "You will bev ter get a bigger store ter burn that." "Wal, it ain't uch a hard job ter rlit it," M be. "Nancy used tew, often, wbru I was pur" 'PId she?" eei I. "So did Daniel." He got the wood an' said, as hu was going out, that he didn't want t-r Iw rilled in outo' the mowing fielJ again, unlets 'twas for vic tuals. "All rijlit," sez t. Tho ncx' day 'twas tho same thing; not a stick split. Thinks I, "Old fellow, you ain't KOt Nancy here. I'll larn ye a little some thin' thit p'raps ye don't know." So when it was dinner time I blows tho horn, an' in comes nil seven of thes- in-n an seti down ter the table. Sich 'stonished lookin' faces as they lud as they viewed the grub. There was tho bicit just dough, the pertatcri, an' meat, an' vegetables, and everything was washed clean and put on raw Not a tiling was choked. Caleb looked blacker'n as a thunder cloud. "What doei this meat.?" sez he. "It mcins what it means?" sez I. "You said yekt'day that you didn't want ter bo called in from tho mowiu' field again, unless it was for victuals, an' here they are." "Nice shape, tew," sez he. "Wal, I can't cook 'ihout wood," sez I, dryly like. With that all seven of 'em stirted for the door, nu' they never left that pile till it was ready for tho stove. I never was bothered for wood again. A few weeks after I wanted some money purty bad. 1 wanted ter send Johnnie and Kellio back to school, an' I was bound that tiny Bhould have some clothes fit to wear. I asked Caleb a number of timis to let me hev some, but ho mado all kinds of excuses. I didn't tell him what I wanted ot it, mind ye. So one day along comes n peddler that bought butter'u eggs. I had considerable on hand that Caleb was intendina to carry into ther city when hu had time. So I sold every pound of butter an' eggs I had in tho house. I got niph on to twenty-five dollars for 'em. When Caleb come home I told him I had sold tho buttir'n eggs. "Heow much did you git?" scz he. I told him. "Where's tho money?" sez he. Tvo got it," scz I. "Wall," sez ho. "Nancy allers give me all the moniy that she took for her butter and cgs." "Did she?" scz I. "And so did Dan'el." He got tned of holding Nancy up aforo my eyes, for I would ollsct. her with Dan'el every time. He found that I'vras powerful sot in my way, nn' ho thought ho might as well let mo hev my own way, au' so ho sez; "I don't menu to ho ugly, but I won't be trod on. by nobody." When ho wouldn't let mo hev what money Iwauttd, I'd .ill something every time. I sold two tons of hay ono time, when I knew he only had enough to winter his critters. So, on tho whole, ho found out that I wasn't afraid of him, and ho behaved quite decent. I told him not long ago that ho was gronin' clever. "Clever!" sez ho. "I'd rather you'd call me a dog-goucd fulo than clever.'' But I notico ho has improved, an' I lay it ter his trainin'. Maine farmer. A Settlor's the Views of Spokan Country. W. P. Horton writes tho Walla Walla Sltitftmun from Medical Lake, noitli of Cheney a few miles, as follows : Foun Lakfs, W. T Juno 18, 1882. I arrived here last Tuesday, and by the aid of C. W, Murphy, Ei., I located a pre-emption claim (100 acres). Tho liud is eijual to any at the foot of tho ltluo Mountains as lovel as a house floor, no rulches or banks, aud at least 140 acres clear of rock or gravel, tho other twenty acres being what is known as scab land, fit only for pasture. I am north of Cheney about eight miles, a level road to Cheney, Spokan Falls nnd Modical Lake. This is ouu ot the finest bodies of land I ever saw, aud Cheney is to this country what Walla Walla is to the foot of the mountains. South of Cheney is a largo scope of country of the best of land) which will likewise pay tri hu to to Cheney, ns a good wagon road is being constructed across the timber belt. Cheney is built in the woods, upon rolling land, a sandy soil, good water, and good substantial wooden buildings, and a school-house that is n credit to tho community. There is now be ing constructed by Messrs. Watson & Co, a new hotel, 100 feet square and two stories high; it is of wood, ami uill bo covered with tin. Tho future prospects of Cheney look bright. Spragui is a smaller place, but has many fine railroad buildings. Tho land surrounding it is of veiy little value for agricultural pur poses, so far as 1 saw, I stayed there two di8. The buildings are as goud as those in Cheney. There ate many Walla Walla people hero, but few in Cheney, I like tho looks of this whole country. I heio is plenty of woik for those w ho w ish to w ork, at fair w ages, both for mechanics i,ml common laborers. When I havo got a foundation on my claim I shall go to woik on tho Urge hotel in Cheney, under the gonial superintendent, A. Watt, Esq. To Headquarters.

Life-Saving Station No. 7, Dit., Ocean Beach, California, Point Lobos, Dec. 20th. A reporter has just had an interesting in terview with Henry Bonn, keeper of the above station, the details of which are of such pro found interest as to warrant their full publi cation for tho readers of the Call. A MEMBER OK THE CORWIN CREW. Mr. Bolin was a member of the Corwin, which left San Francisco May 22, 1880, in scirch of the Jcannette, returning October IS, 1881, after an unsuccessful search for the lost steamer, The Corwin crew numbered forty-two, all of whom returned sound and well from the Arctic expedition. They could gather no in formation from the natives alonu the coast in retard to tho missing Jeannetto. "Hut," added the plucky explorer, "I am sure we would have found her, had we not been frozen out at Wrsngcll Island." And then he went on to civo further details. He laid: "It is true we all 'got back safely, but a number of us Miuereu liiicnnejy un uceuuiii, iu uie ex treme weathe,'. I had a fearful cold on my lungs, and should not have been hero to-day telling the tale, but for a wise provision made before our departure from this city. I felt as if I desired everybody to know what did some of us so much good during this tcrnble voyage. We had taken a good Bupply of St. Jocol s Oil on board, and to this I owe my life. Two others of our crew, named Rolfs and Wilson, were in a terrible condition from neuralgia and rheumatism, and this wonderful remedy saved them. There is'nt a scicntilla of a doubt about it. "The fact is, this great German remedy is the very best thing ever known for all sorts of ills that come to human lot. We are never without it. See here," he added warmly, pointing to a box close at hand; "see here we have a sunnlv rnzht here at the station. I It is a grand thing to use after exposure. It it mc enemy or au mat ase. it 13 nio kuii-ui paiu. It is tho destrovcr of sickness. It is tho glad harbinger of health. It is the sihnt physician that never fails to cure his patient. It is the evangel of blessing. But I am retting elo quent over it, and I ouuht to do so, for it saved my life. Ot course, men in my vocation must meet all kinds of weather. Wo cannot stand on the order of our going storm or no storm. During the sixteen months that I havo been here, we have Bived thirteen lives The last day of October, 1870, the entire crew of a brigantino were caved by this station. The Great German Remedy did good work time and again, I assure you It was like a messenger of mercy. It is a great thing to havo the right remedy at the right tune. For tho lack of it many a valuable lite is lot. There's no denying tho fact." Mr. Bolin, who related this, is a very intel ligent German, a native of Hamburg, cortcous and obliging iu the extreme a genuine man, as any one can see from the brief interchange with him. 'He strikes ono as being the right man in the right place; n canmil, honest, out spoken man, who states things as they are, and who "would not Hatter Neptune for his trident, or Jovo for his power to thunder." CAl'TAUi TAUL BOVMON The abovo testimony in regard to tho wonder-working German Remedy is further cor roborated by the emphatic lndoisemcnfs of tho great world-renowned swimmer, Captain Paul Boynton, who recently informed the Now York correspondent of the Chicago Inter Ocean that he considered a supply of St. Jacobs Oil as indispensable, during his pro tracted aquatic expeditions, as food and drink; Ml fact, as indispensable as his wonderful swimming suit itself, without which he would inevitably. :'Slnk Into theriepths with Lubbling Groan, Without a Krv- unknelled, uucutllned and un known," But with which he would not hesitate to plunge into the sea, which the poet character izes as all his chosen tenors frowning found. THE OLYMPIC CLVB ROOMS. In this connection, your corrpspondent is constrained to speak of a recent visit to the elegant quarters of tho Olympic Club, on lost street, oi which inu cuy oi oau eran Cisco nnd the State of California may justly be proud. There is no athletic club in Amer ica (and your correspondent speaas from ex tensive travel and observation) that can at all compare with the Olv inpio Club of San Fran cisco, and this includes tho personnel of its members, tho superb appointments of its rooiiH, the skill and strength of its athletes, and the esprit da corps of its organization. In the course of a protracted conversation with one of its representative members, it was learned th.it John Garbutt, jauitor of the Club, hal been laid up with a still' knee joint He was formerly a circus acrobat. Ho was induced to try the Great German remedy, St. Jacobs Oil, and with scarcely any faith ho began its use. It was not long before a thorough cure was ill'-ctid. He legarded tho euro as almost miraculous. The Oil is in constant use by members of the Olympic Club, w ho find in it a speedy remedy for all maladies arising from over exertion, excessive practice, or unwise feats of strength and agil ity. One of the members remarked: "That Oil is the surest pain destroyer ill the world." The best ewdenco tint this testimony u true, is the fact that St. Jacobs Oil is used by all the leading gymnasts in the land. It heals like magic. It eiubbs the crippled ono to re-iime his athktio pr.tctiets, and this con serves health for "the vv iso for cure on exer cise depend," There is no lietter place to get hold of cur rent opinion than in the easy retentive cliair of a popular tonsorial artist. The topics most iu vogue are suro to lie discussed here. There Is, perhaps, no better place to hear w hatever there is of interest in this city than nt the well known "Montgomery Baths," No. (IJ1 Montgomery street, which is unquestion ably the liuest ami best appointed bathing ami tonsorial establishment ou the coast. Iu a chat with au old time customer, who came limping into this place yesterday, fairly doubled up with rheumatism, Mr. Charles Kuoecliel sud: "What in the world do you suffer all this pain for, wlun you might as well be rid of it?" "Jut as well be rid of it?" snappishly in terrogated the half irritated patron. "Just as well be rid of it? 1 should like to know what would rid me of this eternal misery. I should lw the jolbe.t fellow in San Krucico." "Its a bargain. Come, now, what will you give me to uiako you a snuud as a nut within forty-eight hours? You know vouare a hard case; a regular old veteran in the way of rheumatism, neuralgia, and all sort of ache. Come, now, old fellow, make me an oiler.'" "A month' rent and a champaime supper, nit it must I a boajiiU cure. No half-way buiintMj. vnu understand?" The oiler waa accepted. Mr. Kooechcl knew what he was about, for he waa (ot mnnths atltietnl s ith rtirumitiim nf tho imnt type, and nothing was of any avail until he fectcd a speedy and permanent cure. Of course, he it an enthusiastic endorser of St. Jacobs Oil. He will win his case with his old patron withont the shadow of a doubt. "It acts like magic in all cases of rneumatifm. It cures when all other remedies fail," re marked Mr. Knoechel. A FAMOUS STAR. It is Shakespeare who Bays: "It were all one that I should love a bright, particular star." Many other enthusiastic souls, since Shakespeare's time, have voiced the same sentiment. Thousand of admirers have transferred this devotion to the famous "star" chewing tobacco. It is a fact that this brand is the pet of all connoisseurs in the tobacco line, and when once used, parties are unwilling to use any other. The manufacturers of this popular brand are Messrs. Leggett & Meyers, tobacco company, of St. Louis, Mo. The "Star" company has made moro rapid progress in sales than any other company during the last fonr years. Each succeeding year the sales havo almost doubled. From Maine to Florida, from Puget Sound to Mexico, every grocery store keeps these celebrated manu factures. Internal revenue receipts from this source are simply enormous. They tell the story of the immense; popularity of the "Star Chewing Tobacco," and its universal demand. '1 lie manufactory at St. Louis has increased its capacity until now it makes some 15,000,- 000 pounds per annum. In a recent call on Mr. V. H. McAhster, 200 Front street, the general agent for the sale of the "Star Chew ing Tobacco" for the Pacific Coast, we learned the foregoing facts in regard 'to the sales of this great company. We found Mr. McAlis tcr genial and communicative, and disposed to give any information that would be ot ser vice or interest. We congratulated the genial agent on his evident good nature, remarking that good nature was three-fourths of life that it was the prime ingredient in the matter of success. Good healtn should insure good nature. In response to our remarks in this direction, Mr. McAlister replied: "You Bee mo in much bcttet humor to-day than you would have found me one week ago, 1 was tortured with pain fiom acute rheuma tism, and did not care whether I lived cr died. There is no use of talking of good na ture so Ion? as one is harrowed with pain. It's all no'isensc. Good health should insure good nature." "Well," returned the reporter, "you seem to have conquered your rheumatis. How is this? "I am very glad to inform you how I got the better of that dreadful disease. It is so Frevalent that I wish everybody to know how conquered it. It is a wretched disease, any way. The truth is I was advised to try this Great Geiman Remedy that everybody seems to 6e ruuuing wild over nowadays, St. Jacobs Oil. I will assure you, that just two thor ough applications entirely cured me. It was magical. "And have you not felt any twinges of it since?" "Not a twinge. I feel as well as I ever did in my life. I hadn't a particle of faith in the remedy when I began to use it. I had tried so many different things, I had lost all faith iu everything. I hope everybody who suffers with rheumatism will get a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil. It is a boon to humanity. I would not he without it a single hour. "And so with St. Jacobs Oil and tho "Star Chewing Tobacco, I suppose you consider yourself the happiest man in existence, do von? piaytuiiy interrogatea tue reporter. "The happiest man iu existence, sir, pres ent company always excepted," and present ing a generoug specimen of the "Star," he bowed his smiling congratulations to the omnivorous reporter, who wended his way to the next place on the reportorial docket. e r t Jcst now Frank A bell is taking some of the most charming and lovely promenade and panel photographs we ev cr raw.

It is difficult to look at the world through cheery glasses, when dise aso has set in upon the loins and lack", and when the liver and kidneys are out of order. But cheerfulness returns vith Hunt's Remedy, the creat kidney and liver medicine. because it brings health to the afflicted. The aching back, the sallow skin, the hollow eye, the distressed feeling, tho bent body, the de spondent mind, give way before Hunt's Rem edy to the bloom of health, the bounding step, the cheerful spirit, the renewed strength, and to a prolonged lease of vigorous life.
