lailg $0itntaintct FACTS AND FANCIES. ., TnE Omnibus relates the following fitory of a man, who, wilbin the last lew days, means to turn to account the popular apprehension " of .poisoners, wuieh has prevailed tbere since the np pearance of the cholera. The individ ual in question, being exceedingly liungry, and having only a single coin of the value of a sou, laid it out in the purchase ot powdered sugar, and, as lie passed by the stand ot one of those pponiair cooks who make a sort of pancake called frittak, be dropped, ap pttrently by accident, some of the biigarinto the fryingpan. He was in Htuntly seized by the bystanders as a poisoner, caught in the act. Ho do. niod the imputation, and, at last, to prove bis innocence, offered to oat the oontonts of the pan. This proposition was accepted, ond ho accordingly dispatched the pancake with great relish, and thon walked off, well satisfied with the success of his trick. Ma. Blaze. At Neva I am called off shortly af tor my arrival, by an athletic, scarlet-faced man, who polite 1 y says his name is Blazo. "I have a little bill ugainst you, 6ir," he observes. "A bill for what?" . "Drinks?" Yob, sir at my bar. 1 koop the well known and respected coffee house down street." ... ( But my dear sir, there is a mistake. I never drank at your bar in my life." "1 know it sir. That isn't the point. The point is this: 1 pay out my money for good liquors, and it's the poople'Bown fault if they don't drink them. There are the liqnors do as you please about drinking them, lut you must pay for them. Isn't that fair?" His enprmous body (around which Tnck wouldn't put a girdle for $10) hbook gleefully while I road this emi nently original bill. Years ago Mr. Blaze was agent of the California Stage Company. There was a formidable and well organized opposition to the California Stage Company at that time, and Mr. Blaze rendered them such signal service in liis capaoity of agent .hat they were vary sorry when be tendered his res. ignation. "You are some $1,600 behind in your accounts, Mr. Blaze," said tho president, "but in view of your faith' Jul and efficient services, we shall throw off $800 of the amonnt. Mr. Blaze seems touohed by his gen erosity. A teer stood in his eyes and his bosom throbbed audibly. "You will throw off $800 you will?" he cried at last, seizing the President's hand and pressing it passionately to .his lips. "I will," "returned the president. "Well, sir," said Mr. Blaze, "I'm a gontloman I am you bet 1 and I won't allow no stago company to sur pass me in politeness. Til throw off the other sjouu, ana we li call it square! No gratitude, sir no thanks it is my duty "-Artemus Ward. . Summons. In the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon, for the county of Wasco. O. W.
