Young Montgomery was then, but twen-

duties in such a manner that in the foi-
lowing year he was allbrded a much bet-
ter opportunity for the display of his
ability as a jourralist, he then becoming
'one of the editors and proprietors of the
Pktsburgh Morning Post.' He re-
tained his connection with this paper
for three years, and in 16."37 disposed of
Ins interest to Oen. James P. Parr, who
is thf sole proprietor. Just about this
time Col. John W. Forney started tiie
Philadelphia "Press," and he secured the
services of Mr. Montgomery as the Har-
risburg correspondent of that paper, ai
Ji0.s;tion which he accepted for one year,
In Mr. Montgomery threw aside
his pen and sought a new field and wide-
ly iliirerent field for his energies. It was
aliout this time that railroad construe-
t ion became a profession with manv men
whose strength of will self-confidence
and equanimity of purpose enabled them j
to overcome what appeared to others to !
e insurmountable obstides. Mr. Mont-
gomery, having determined to try this ;
line of business, with that cool delibera- j
tion characteristic of the n:an of iron will, j
went straight ahead, and in the same !
y-tr secured, together with two other
gentleman, a contract to build a bridge i
across the Susquehannah river at Lin-
den, Penn., for the Philadelphia and j
Erie Railroad Company. The contract I
was coiypleiej most successfully, and he
afterwards helped to finish other portions !
of the same road, becoming one of its !
directors in 186$ and remaining as such I
until the latter portion of 1SC0. Mr.

to Mrs. Adams:
Summit, On., Sept. 8, 1683.
rus. Adams Dear Sister and Frutuh
yome (ays ag0 I sent you a copy of
-fhe Temperance Lesson Book." The
Ciood Templars, as you perhaps knew,
securet two hundred copies which they
are pacing in the hands of educators
tlirough the State with a view to secur
ing their adoption in our schools. I
also scn(l to the Superintendent of Pub-
lie Instruction of your county and some
of the teaeheis.
I am writing from the Mountain
House, at the Summit of the Coast
Range, between Corvallis and Newport.
The air is delightful and such spring
water as we find in the Mountains. I
am enjoying, the trip very much.
Mr. King has organized two Lodges
since I saw you, one at Bridgeport and
one at Mi Jdleton, and will organize here
to-night, and I am meeting with good
success in the Band of Hope work.
"We have received very encouraging
replies from several schools with regard
to using these books. If w'e can secure
instruction in the Public Schools we
have won a great victory, for I fully be
lieve that people are intemperate from
ignorance rather than choice, that edu
cation will furnish to each person a rea
son for total abstinence, for prohibition.

Major Adams is hard to get away with

We met Judge Marquam in Portland.
The Judge comes from old Maryland
stock, good as any in America, for
Maryland, though somewhat Catholic,
led the way in matter of equal rights to
mankind. The Judse has livod to see
the realization of hopes long deferred
and is still hale and hearty. After
many years he has found himself in the
promised land.
The advent of the railroad is having
a refining influence on people. We asked
a young lady at Columbia City if she was
going in the direction of Spencer's, She
said " No," she " was hunting a swine
that had escaped," instead of saying she
was "chasing after a durned old hog that
had got e-out."

A leading citizen of Oregon said the
best thing the Muckle3 could do was to
make up with Major Adams by just and
honest treatment on the best terms they

The Lucia Mills (Semple's) were rep
resented in the Portland celebration by
an apparently living tree with an axinan

and the design so well carried out, the
Oregonian called it the finest exhibit in
the whole procession.
Hon. H G Struve gave us a piece of
