lOHEHOW OK OTHEE WE OET AlONO.

The good wile bustled about the house.
Her face etill bright with a pleasant smile,
At broken snatches of a happy son?
Strengthened her heart and hands awhile.
The good man sat in the chimney nook,
HI little clay pipe within his lips,
And all he'd made and all he'd lost,
Ready and cl ar at his finger tips.

"Oood wife, I've just been thinking a bit,
Nothing has dono very well this year,
Money is bound to be hard to iret,
Everything's sure to be very dear.
How the oattle are eoing to be fed,
Is a kind of debit ai.d tredit sum
I can't mke balance by any ru'e.''

He turned her around from tho baking-board,
And she faced him with a cheerful laugh;
"Why, husband, dear.one would r ally think
That the good rich wheat was only thatf.
And what if wheat is only chaff,
Ai long as we both aro well and ttrongj
I'm not a woman to worry a bit,
Somehow or other w o get along,

"Into all lives rain must fall,
Over all lands the storm must beat;
But when the pain and tho storm aro o'er
The after sunshine is twice as sweet.
Tbro' every strait we have found a road,
In eve y grief we have found a song;
We have had to bear, and had to wait,
But aomohow or other we've got a'oDg.

"For thirty years we've loved each other,
Htood by each other what'er bofel;
81k boys have called us father and mother,
And all of them living arid doing well.
We owe no man a penny, my dear,
We're both of ns loving, and well, and strong.
Qood man, I wish you would smoke airain,
And think how well we have got alonp.

Ho Blled his pipo with a pleasant laugh,
lie kissed his wife with a pleasant p-ide;
Ih said "I'll ("oas yoti tll me, love,

Khe left him then with his better thought,
And lifted her work with a low swi'ct song,
A sonp that's followed me many a year

A Curious Transaction.
Mr. Morliintr, tho well-known picture
ilcnlcr, recoi.wi a ixitono luy from an
elderly American gentleman who gmo the
name- of Hnrgri'iiu'H, of New York. He
explained thnt lie was staging at tho
Liinglnuii, and had heen icconuncndcd
by a friend to commit Mr. Moitimor
about a rather delicate matter. Mr. Mor
timer bowed gravely and glanced at his
visitor with a certain amount of suspi
cion. Ho had ho good a ImninoH and no
largo a connection that he could all'ord to
treat a utianger in rather tin oil-hand
manner. Mr. J IargreaveH wenied nettled
nt this, nml.Miiil, sharply :
"You aio a pictuie dealei, eh? Your
tmsinces i to buy and bell pictures on
commission, I gurus?"
"Yes, sir, certainly, certainly," returned
Mr. Mortimer, unbending a little us ho
noted his visiloi's eminently icnpectablo
appearance.
"Well, now, look hero; I'll tell you
what I want jou to do for me,'' said Mr.
Ilargreaves, healing himself. "1 know
something aUmtpiotures iii)fclf,M'o? I'm
making arollw lion of 'em, and I'ebeen
a tour on tho Continent, with my e-jes
open. 1 gut mi I'm putty good at bar

ileal with n diend I think it always wiser
to employ an agent."
"You an) ipiito right, sir, perfectly
right," mihI Air. Moitiiner, scenting a
genuine jiieco of lutxinovt.
"Well, I dined a few nights ago with a
fiiend in Manchester," continued Mr.
Haigreaes; "a Mr. I.intoll, a meichant "
"With a galleiy?" Miggestid Mr. Moi
tiiner. No; he. is in the dry good lino," said
Mi. llnrgivim's, in a inattei-of-fact tone
"lie U " Coia'SjKindent of my business

Nut therein niuVtuio in his diuing-ioom
that I mean to luij."
"Ye, sir," said Mr. Mortimer, en-
couingingiy-
Unfortunattly, the gentleman won't
soil I mentioned the matter to him, but
I went t it h' abruptly. Ho sajs the
picture i a heirloom, mid became indig

"What is tho picture?" inmtircd .Mr
Mot tinier. ,
"I've my own notion what it is and 1
giuss it's a pretty correct one," replied
Mr. llargivaes, inysteuously, 'but we
needn't talk about that. I don't want
to praiso the pictuiv to you, sir: I'm a

Now, do you think jou uin get it for

I will undertake to say it is only n
question of price, sir," said Mr Moitimcr,
with a uiHrior smile.
'I think it moron question of llritish

gtvinc. "However, jou may mhi what

"Well, the nroof is that I am willing to
pay the money. Of course I don't want
to give live tnousanu or mu uuuim

greaves. "Hut my fear is you won't get
Mr. I.intoll to agreo to sell at any price.
I must leave jou to do tho best jou can
forme. I don't ask you to run any ink,
sir," he added, divining the doubts which
were passing in the dealer's mind. "I'm
a stranger, and must expect to be treated
accordinglj'. I don't wish jou to bind
yourself on my liehalf, or enter into any
agreement. You bring me an offer to sell
that picture for something under $5,000,
and I'll hand jou over the money in bank
notes. I can't say any fairer than that,
can I?"
"Certainly not, sir; nothing could be
more straightforward," replied Mr. Mor
timer. "Here is my card," added the old gen
tleman, laying it on the table. "I have
written Mr. Lin toll's namo and address
on tho back. I shall remain at the Lang
ham for a month or so; at least, I shall
make it my headquarters, for I guess I
shall travel about a bit. A letter addressed
thcie will alwajs find me, and if you want
to wire, tho nronrictors will he able to tell
j-ou where I may happen to be, if I'm not

"finoil dav.sir. thank jou. Your wishes

timer, opening the door and bowing his
visitor out.
Tlin iiietnro dealer no longer enter
tained any suspicion of the bona fides of
his new customer. Ho flattered himself
that he knew an honest man when he saw
one, and old Mr. Hargieavcs had im
pressed him mot favorably so mucn so
tlmt he was half inclined fora moment to
do the very tiling which it had occurred

namely, to puiclmsc tho picture on his
own account. Ho felt no Uoulit oi oeuig
able to get it at a baigain, and he would
then make a handsome piofit of selling it
back to Mr. Hargieavcs at the price ho
had olleicd. Ho abandoned tins uiea,
howovei, somewhat leluetantly, owing to
the dictates of piudencc gained horn ex
perience. Beside, he had his reputation
to consider, and, on tho whole, he decided
to lie satisfied with the legitimate commis
sion on the ti.inaction.
Mr. Moitimcr wrote a letter of instruc
tion to his agent in Munchoslci, and in
the course of a day oi two ho itceived a
reply, which was far Irom encouraging.
The agent had seen tho owner of the pic
ture, but had failed altogether in his mis
sion, air. bintoll appeared 10 uu an i;
centric, choleric old gentleman, with
whom it seemed impossible to come to
tcims, since, as Mr. Haigiaves Had an
ticipated, ho icolutely refused to pait
with tlu liietino at anv mice. Ho had
definitely lefused the oll'er of Xfi.OOO for
it, and threatened to kick the agent out
of the house if ho dared to insult him by
making fuithcr piopositions. NeveitUe
less, Mr. Moitimcr thought ho saw a
glimmer of hopo in tho gloomy report ;
foi the agent incidentally mentioned that
he heaid the old gentleman's fiiends weie
advising him to accept tho hid. It ap
pealed that, though Mr. Lintoll piofes-ul
to fiel highly indignant at being asked to
sell tho pictuie, he could not lefrain fiom
Iioasting of tho oilci ho had leceived
Evidently, therefore, he was not deeply
oll'ended,' and it was possible that ho
might jield to tho advice of ins luends,
and take advantage of Mr. I lai grave's
hbeialitj'.
Mr. Mortimer consequently felt justi
fied in writing to his customer that nego
tiations wcro in piogrcss which he hoped
would soon bo brought to a successful
issue. Ho instiucted his agent not to
lose sight of Mr. Lintoll and his pictuio,
and to ivHiit the oiler discreetlj-, after a
short interval. Tho next communication
ho leceived, howovei, contained tho st.ut
lilig news that Mr. Lintoll had suddenly
disapiH-aied. There was no doubt, the
agent wrote, that ho had been in embar
rassed circumstances foi some time, for it
had transpired that theio was a bill of
sale upon his ftiinitiuo and effects. In
this document, howovei, tho pictuio did
not appear to have kvo included, and,
oddly enough, it was found to have van
ished with its ownei. Mr Mortimei
naturally did not feel deoplj" atl'eetod by
Mr Lin'oll's misfortunes, nor trouble his
head with Useless sKViilations as to what
bad Ikvoiiiu of tho pictuie Ho was
vexed at having failed to execute what
promised to lie a profitable commission,
though he could all'oiil to I vat his dis
appointment with equiiiinuty He wrote
another letter to Mr. Haigiaves, to the
liiigham Hotel, explaining what had
Impelled, and dismissed1 the mattei from
his mind
Mr. Moit mer was a little siupried
that Mr. Hargieavcs took no notice of his
communications, and paitly with an eve
to business and partly from euiiositv-, ho
called at tho Uiugham Hotel, two davs
aftciwards. Ho then learned that Mr,
Haigroaves had depmtcd a week or two
ago, without leaving any address or sav
ing that ho iutuidcd to return, rursuiug
his inquiries, Mr. Moituuer ih ert.uned
that Mr. llargroaves was quite a stiauger
in tho hotel, that ho had only stajed there
two davs, bringing no luggage except a
small valise, and that ho hail taken his
departure the day following his interview
with him. This iufoimatioti made the
picture dealer fool vaguely suspicions and
uuc.isv, and ho iuwardlv congratulated
himself on the fact of Mr. LintoU's disap
pearance, which had possibly saved hint
from some awkward embarrassment.
lie m found, however, that his self
congratulation! worn somewhat prema
ture, for, on returning to his i Itioe, he
was confronted by a stout, iiiuldlc-agcil
Hebrew gentleman, gogxilv apparelled,
who, after inquiring withgreat JHilitcuciss
if ho were Mr. Mortimer, handed him a
nolo in the hand-writing of his agent at
Manchester. The picture dealer opened
It with misgivings, which were not re
lieved when ho read Unit his visitor was
a Mr Samuels, who had Mr. l.iutoH's
WILLAMETTE PARMER: PORTLAND, OREGON, JUNE
picture in his possession and was pre
pared to sell it.
"Oh, indeed," remarked Mr. Mortimer,
eyeing his visitor coldly. "May I inquire
how jou obtained possession of the pic
ture?" "I advanced a large sum of money on
it, Mishtcr Mortimer," returned Mr.
Samuels, rcadilj'. "Nothing would in
duce Mr. Lintoll to sell, because it was an
heirloom; but he lodged it with mo as
ccurity for a temporary loin, and now I
hear he has bolted, leaving it on my
hands."
"How much did you advance upon it?"
demanded Mr. Mortimer, foreseeing
trouble in store.
"Two thousand pounds, as sure as I am
standing here," said Mr. Samuels. "Of
course, Mr. Mortimer, it was nn excep
tional thing. I shouldn't have thought
of advancing the money, only he told me
what jou had offered for tho picture.
Tho mention of jour highly rcsncctablo
and respected name, sir, satisfied me that
., . - - . i i :.i t
inc oner was genuiiiu ; aim, ucbiucb, i
asked j-our ngent."
"Then you come heie to sell, of course,"
said Mr. Mortimer. "What authority
havo j-ou to dispose of tho picture?"
"I took care of that, sir," said Mr.
Samuels, producing a pajicr from his
pocket with a knowing wink. "I know
what gentlemen arc, and although Mr.
Lintoll made a great fus about parting
with the picture, and deviated he would
redeem it in a few daj-s, I got him to sign
this."
The nicturc dealer read the document
which the other handed him, and found
it to bo a concise agreement signed by
Mr. Lintoll, -etting forth that, miles the
sum of 2,000, and interest, weie paid
within fourteen dajs, the lender was to
be entitled to realise his security. Mr.
Mortimer started when ho came to the
signature, for at a glance he perceived
that the writing was identical with the in
scription on the back of the card Mr.
Ilnrgreavcs had given him.
"What was Mr. Lintoll like?" ho in
quired, with a queer smile. "Was he
tall, elderly, with white whiskers extend
ing under his chin and a slight cast in
one of her ejes?"
"That's lum, Mr. .Mortimer; jou tic
scribed him exactly," said Mr. SunueR
"He didn't tell me that he had ever seen
you."
"The fact i," returned the picture
dealer changing color and looking very
foolish, "I was unaware till this moment
that I had the honor of his acquaintance.
You seo he misled me by saying his name
was Hargieavcs, and pretending to be an
American."
"What! Oh, my Lord! Mr. Moitimcr,
j-ou don't mean to say I've been swin
dled!" cried Mr. Samuels, with an ap
pearance of dismay. " Do jou expect it
was a plant? Am I to understand j-our
customer was a myth? "
" I'm sine of it ; and I strongly suspect
jou mo in the swim, Mr. Samuels," said
Mr. Mortimer, despciately.
"Mr. Moitimcr! such language is an
insult, sir?" exclaimed Mr. Samuels,
bouncing fiom his seat and turning very
led. " I'm as innocent as a babe un
born." "I'll lay a wager jou didn't advance
2,000 on tho pictuio; nor half nor a
quaiter that amount," haaided Mr. Mor
timer, ej eing him kccnlj
" I did, s'help mo Moses, and all because
j-our agent distinctly informed me that
you hud a bona lido customer for the pic
tuie, Mr. Moitimcr," soid Mr. Samuels,
cageily.
" Come, Come, Mr. Samuels ; it's no
use trjing to deceive me," said Mr. Moiti
nioi, knowinglj'. "I seo clearly enough
what jour game is. Lintoll, either of his
ow n accord or at the suggestion of somc
bodj' else, comes bene as a stranger, and
makes a bid for his own picture. It's an
old dodge, and I ought to have been up to
it. His idea, no doubt, was to induce ono
of lush lends to buy it, failing m this, ho
goes to jou. Of co lse, jou don't believe
him."
"Ileallj', Mr. Mortimei," into rupted
Mr. Samuels, indignantly.
"Tut I tut! jou weien't born j-estcidaj',
Mr. b.unuels, noi jet the day liefore, said
Mr Mortimer, good-hiunoiedlj; "neither
was I, foi that m.ittei. Dulnt jou think
it odd that Lintoll, requiring inoiiev',
should havo bonowed a few ixiunds of
jou on security of tho picture, instead of
selling it? I'oohl my dear sir, you knew
vou i man You advanced him a tiillo to
get possession of the pictuie, and of that
agreement, thinking to frighten me.
Tli.it cock won't light, Mr. Samuels."
Tho pieture-doalei's good humor ap
txwod to lo infectious, Mr Samuels aban
doned his bliisttiiug tone and manner,
and his indignant i prossion relaxed into
a humorous snnlo, as he said
"You get tip-veij eailj in the morning
Mr. Mortimei' any one can see that with
half an eye. You must own, however,
that jou aro in an awkward position.
SupiHising I was to bring an action against
jou, 1 might recover damages. I'vo got
ii lettei fiom jour agent sajing that jou
were Kvking to buy the picture, It would
look odd if jou were to swear in the wit-ness-Uix
that j'our customer was a sham.
Any way, you would get well laughed at
for having boon taken in by o transpar
ent a fiaud, and a jury might refuso to
believe that a gentleni in of j-our exper
ience in the trade could bo so gam
moned." " I shouldn't mind that," said Mr. Mor
timer, wincing, ncveitheless.
" Look hero, Mr. Mortimer, I've got an
idea," said Mr Samuels, after a pause,
lowering ln voice, and drawing his chair
cUver. " Can't w e eomo to some amicable
arrangement that will ho to our mutual
advantage? 1 think there is money to
bo undo over that picture. It is known
all over Muncester that j-ou ollered 3,000
for it, and tho general belief is that Lin
toll sold it, and bolted with the proceeds.
Very well I Why not"
" I don't understand," said Mr. Morti
mer shortly.
"Why I don't you seo? " axelaimed Mr.
Samuels, leaning Kick in his chair, and
regarding his companion with a very cun
ning expression. "Benjamin Samuels,
Esq., was the gent who employed you to
negotiate for the purchase of the picture,
nnd gave 3,000 for it I"
' "Huml jyoit want to give out that you
purchased the picture through me," said
Mr. Motimcr, slowlj. "You think in
that case people would suppose the pic
ture was genuine?"
'It is pretty well known that Benja
min Samuclsisn't the man to give 3,000
for an article that isn't worth.thc money,"
said Mr. Samuels, with avvink, "and your
highly respdctable name being mixed up
in the affair will be a guarantee that it
was a genuine transaction."
"I suppose jou expect to find a pur
chaser for the picture at the price j ou are
supposed to have given for it, Mr. Sam
uels," said Mr. Mortimer, with a grin.
" In fact, I shouldn't be surprised if you
persuaded some one to give another thou
sand or so."
"I hope so, with j-our kind assistance,
sir," returned Mr." Samuels, modcstlj.
" All jou'v e got to do, Mr. Mortimer, is to
keep j-our mouth shut, and instruct j-our
agent to do the same, and leave the rest
to me. I'm prepared to act liberally in
the matter, sir. Come, Mr. Mortimer,
how much shall we say?" he added, in
sinuatingly producing a bulky check book
as he spoke.
" Well, really j-our suggestion is an ex
traordinary one," observed Mr. Mortimer,
thoughtfully. " I don't see any harm in
it, do jou if we are both discreet? The
figure Weil ahem! suppose wo say
five bundled down, and tho balancewhcn
the picture is disposed of. Half profits,
of course; and will jou take a glass of
sherry, Mr. Samuels?" London Truth.
Wallowa's Progress.
Less than six years ago it was pofsible for
a visitor to Wallowa valley to learn within
fifteen minutes after his arrival the name and
age of very man, woman and child that
claimed a residence in the land, w hich, but a
short tims previous, had I een reluctantly
abandoned ly the crafty Nez Perce chief.
And during the turbulent season of 1877,
when the aforesaid chiif, with a christian
name but savage intention, wus momentarily
expected to reclaim the land of his futheru by
torce of arms, there were but two or three
homes in the beautiful land of crystal streams
and ph nty of bunch grass.-
K,,w it is the home of over fifteen hundred
intabi ants who enjoy its unrivalled scenery,
invigorating cimate anu ain.-i.uuui. uiesamg
of health, wealth and happiness. At the
same rate of settlemei t, Wallowa will soon
have more people than all the rest of the
county now lias, and still its broad ttretohes
of rich, rolling prairie will furnith room for
many thousands more. This section, judging
from present appearances, is to be the object
ive point of a large share of this j ear's immi
gration. Reports of its wonderful excellence
have taken wing to all parts of the country
and queatiOLS concerning the Wallowa arc
up n the lips of nearly every new comer.

Col. Chas B. Lamborn, Land Commissioner
of the Noitbern Pacific Railroad Company,
being questioned a to the probable difficulty
to be encountered on the line from snow
storms, he said : "The highest elevation
reached by the Northern Pai ific road at any
point between the lakes aud the Pacific coast
is at the crosMng of the belt range of the
Rocky mountains. THs point is about '5,500
feet above the sea, and is 500 feet lower than
Cheyenne and more than 3,500 lower than tne

The Wealth of Mew Yorlc
The report of the New York Controller
that the valuation of the taxable property
of .the State is $2,783,082,567 may be
made the basis of an easy computation to
show the actual wealth of the State. The
assessment of the real estate represents
about half its actual value, and tho assess
ment of personal property about one
tenth its actual value. About $2,300,000,
000 of the assessed property is real estate,
and the rcmaining$il4,000,000 is personal
proiierty, so that tho actual value of the
former is 4,G00,000,000 and of the latter
$1,140,000,000, making tho total wealth
of the State, in round numbers, $8,740,
000,000. Mr. Mulhall, the English sta
tician, recently estimated the aggregate
wealth of the United States to be $49,
770,000,000, admitting that amount to be
several millions more than the wealth of
Great Britain, and one-fourth more than
the wealth of France. Were his estimate
correct, New York would contain more
than one-sixth of the wealth of the
Union. But it is believed that the farm
lands of tho nation aie woith $30,000,
000,000, and, if the personal property .s
worth as much more, tho aggregate
wealth of the country must be $00,000,
000,000, so that the wealth of New York
is not much moro than one-seventh of
the whole. The wealth of that city, in
cluding real estate and personal property,
is nearly $4,000,000,000 or half the wealth
of the entire State. Mail and Express.

Mr. Wm. Burns who resides near Garfield,
