years of t nibts, and said tbis uni
versal effort to absorb individual

ing companies and employes, and
destroy comiietitiun, will inevita

Sinakuig of the recent strike on

said : "Yea -s of a successful trial

strike v. as iuaitossible on that
road." In that tiust he went
abroad on hig ariii"! holiday, to
have his hope. shattered by a ca
blegram announcing the strike.
But the engineers," he added,
were.truo to the relation which.
for many years had been estab
lished, and sustained and reinvig-
orated my fading faith in the effi
ciency of any effort to maintain
a satisfactory and permanent un
derstanding between capital and

and of the whole country owe to

A DIZZY EGO DANCE.
A Define That Vie With the Skill
of SIolfht-of-Mand Performance.
" One of the latest and most enter
taining el the .vrtters on Astatic
lands and peoples, says the Mew
York Journ ', is M. Loois Rousse
let, a lynx-eyed Frenchman, who
has been journeying in India for
(onr or five years, making mean
while skillful use of his
pen and pencil. One of the re
markable things he describes is the
"eg;? dance." This is executed in
this wise: The dancer, dressed
in a corsage and very short skirt,
carries a willow wheel of moderate
diameter fastened horizontally on
the top of her head. Around this
wheel threads arefrstened, equally
distant from each other, and at the
end of each of the threads is a slip
noose, which is kept open by a
glass bead.
Thus equipped the young girl
comes toward the spectators with
a brisket full of epgs, which she
passes around for inspection to
prove that they are real and not
imitations. The music then strikes
up a jerky monotonous st. a'n, and
the dancer beg' is to whirl around
with great rapidity. Then seizing
an egg she puts it in one of the
slip-nooses, and with a quick
mo: ion, throws it from her in such
a way as to draw tbe knot tight.
The B'vift turning of the dancer
produces a centrifugal force which
stretches the thread out straight
like a ray shoot'ng from the cir
cumference of the circle
One after another the eggs are
thrown out in these slip-nooses
until they make a horizontal aure
ole about the dancer's head. Then
the dance becomes more rapid, so
rapid, in fact, that it is difficult to
distinguish the girl's features; the
least false step, now. and the eggs
dash against each ether.
Tut how can the dauce be stop
ped? This operation is by tar the more
delicate of the two. It is neces
sary that the dancer by a single
motion of the hand should take of
the egg and remove it from the
noose. A single false motion of the
hand the whole performance would
be disastrously ended.
At last all the eggs are success
fully romoved, the dancer sudden
ly stop, and with seeming dizzy
from 25 or 30 minutes dancing.
She then advances to the spectators
and presents them the eggs, which
are then broken in a disn to prove
them real.
Mining; Excitement.
The Statesman hunts up the fol
lowing history in regaid to the
bautiam mining district: "Early
in the '&) there was a big mining
txcifenv-nt up in the Santiam
country. On November 23, I860,
there were numerous fillings iu
the North Santiam district. The

Why Not Tar and Featber Him.
There is a being on Coos bay
who has the appearance of being a
fine man, but who is one of the
vilest brutes that ever went un
hung. He can earn good wages,
but he beats and kicks his helpless
wife unmercifully. 1 he poor wo
man is sick from his long contin
ued abuse, but her suffering doas
not touch his brutal heart. Last
week some of his neighbors talked
of giving the stretch a coat of tar
