A Shining Example. 3bhH ringemar, d former scout o'rf tiVe plains, is dead: lie began life &$ a n'6'ws boy an'd rose to bo' a com par. ion of Buf falo l?ill anj 6wef of fast crot tors, fi nally dying of right's disease ah'c! hav ing his death telegraphed by the Associ ated Press. Engeiuar's cireer is an ex ample which should act as an eneourasra merit to every boy who is struggling a gainst ad veraity. It shows a buy what perseverance and energy can accoafplish when his efforts' are propefly directed. It pfe'ves that ai;y boy may rise from the lowliest of occupations until he occu pies the most coveted positions in the United States. This example of J&hii Eng&inar will do more toward instilling noble am'bititm into the mind of Young America than would the stories t Gar field and Lincoln themselves who, after all, only rose to the Presidency. The writers of loys' books Hiako a serious mistake in that they don't sufficiently stCdy their readers. Boys don't want their heroes to become Prtsidt'nts and Senators ; thev want them to become' brake-men on traiiYs ilnd stage-drivers, or, if in a commercial line, would like to have them become sole proprietor of a candy or cake store. Such are the am bitions of the boys themselves", and such are the ambitions that should actuate their heroes. A well-written story of John Engemar's life, with a proper spice of aristocratic ferial e beauty in it, woiild be widely read and do much to neutral ize the baieful influence of such institu tions as the Boys' and GirU' Aid Society, the Public Schools and the Domestic liearih. San Francisco Daily Report. He had been to the doctor, and had a tooth pulled that had roots. It was the great eve fft of his life. It aroused a" 1 the sympathies of his gushing nature. He met a Reporter. The Reporter asked his name, occupation ic. This was something the style of conversation. Reporter. 41 Did you lately come from the States V " Yes sir, I just had a tooth pulled, and it made me jump. It had roots." Reporter. "What part of the State? did vou come from V ' Illinois, perhaps you would like to see the tooth. I have it in my vest pocket I shall always keep it. It was awful." . . Reporter. ''What is your occupation?" School-teach iug, there look in my mouth, and see what a hole it made. The doctor polled nic awfully. It aches now. Reporter. 'llcw do you like the country ?" "Well, didn't it have prongs ? It r-as set in solid. Would you like to exam ine the tooth again ?" Reporter. "Goodbye." "Good day, it was rough, 1 was pulled all out of shape." The young man with a look of injured innocence, then departed. He met a strange lady on horseback. He intro duced himself, showed her his tooth, and related in full his aches, which so a roused her sympathies she shed a reti cule full of tears. t All Fixed. An insurance agent in Nashville, who was applied to by a small dealer in cloth ing for insurance on his stock, inquired: ' Did not your brotlit'r Isaac burn out in Atlanta, and did tliey iior find kero sine sprinkled all over the floors t" " Yes, dot vas Isaacs, but tlidn't he proof dot a barrel of kerosene biisted on hirar "And didn't your brother Mosesburn out in Charleston, and didn't they find a bonfire down in the cellar 1" " Yes, dat vas Moses, but he satisfied the shurry dot he lit the hre to nnd a leak in the vater pipe. ?" Was it your brother who burned out in Mobile V "It vas.r 'There was an explosion of powder, wasn't there 1" 4 Yell, Shacob said it vas robbers who blew open his .safe." " If this company iiisures you and you burn out, there will be a rigid investiga tion," said the agent " Veil, dot vas all right. If my store purns oop it will pe found dot I vas in Cincinnati, und dot niy wife was oop all night tnit a corpse. I vas a man who don't gif myself avay." Rebuking a Chinaman. Little Ada W., of Brooklyn, went to a neighbor's on the eve of election W fold Seth Low's tickets with the other little girls. While there a lady related the following, which Ada repeated to her parents when she got home. A Chi naman came into th; ladies' cabin on the ferryboat -and took a seat beside an Irish market-woman Ho seemed to want to make himself agrecab'e an'd remarked: " Belly cold." The woman looked at him with an air of contempt and replied: " If you'd put your shurt inside your pants your belly wouldn't be cowld, you heathen blackguard!" Xeio York Suii. W. B. Dillard Esq. has lately pur chased a hundred dollars' wiorth of law IxWks. LOCAL 2TTv7S otfrigmen, Ewell, William and Paul Bonser lately made a trip to Moun't Hood.' They had a severe time of it, Mid are now paying the penalty of their temerity in the shape of frozen feet: Two of the young men hvc claims on the Spilei Prairie, and we'njt out to visit them. They went up Lewis River as far as they could in a loat, and securely fastened their craft to the shore. At Spilei the notion took them to-visit Mt Hood, soon they went to a l.xke be yond. They found it a perilous adven ture. . One plac'e they climbed up, they were forced to make d path with the muzzles of their guns. The last day of their return, they only had some coffee to soothe their ravenous appetites. It seems J miracle ttial they escaped with their lives. We shudder-to think what might have len the restflt had they met with any "accident. Their adventures if written out by the hand of a master probably, would b thrilling and roman tic in the extreme, more interesting to read than en. lure. Sunday we went out to hunt our horses, we went to Milton, then o:i to William llarris'. There we fook din ner. Mr. Larsen Derlon and wife were there. Miss Derlon is house keeper for the'Harrises. She is an excellent cook, for we partook of a Sumptuous repast of her preparation'. Mr. George Hr.rris informed us his brother John was with Mr. Root, his brother-in-law, 12 miles from The Dalles. Mr. Root is about to engage in farrtrirf, ad John was turn ing up the soil with the time honored plougli. After dinner we went on to the Stephens place, and then to Mr. Jo seph Copelands. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Kellogg were there. Iiellogg was down to attend on her sick sister Dora. Our horses c found in Mr. Copelsmd's field across the road. Mr. Copeland has some fine en'arged photographs of himself and wife. Mrs. Copeland's is one of the most life-like portraits we ever saw. It must be a jrreat comfort to her husband and chil dren. Josie Copeland looks very healthy, and with her innocent prattle is very entertaining. She has a doll of great flexibility. Haven whe stole Blakesley's breech loading shot gun was tried before J. P. Whitney, and fined -?23 and costs or 12 days imprisonment. Flagg, of the mist, circulated around and got $12.50 sub scribed to pay Haven's fine, but could not get enough so Haven was sfrnt to Portland to work out his salvation in the street gang. George Foster had loaned him G.OO on the gun, and then gave it up, and Haven says he lent it to a section boss by the name of Reed. He might steal, but of course he would'nt lie. Those Republicans who go back on a soldier who has a bullet in his body, and stood rp for his country when she need ed him, and support the Muckles in rob bing h.m and freezing him out the Muckles rtho have doue nothing for the country except to help skin it show they are ungrateful and either poltroons or hypocrites. They can take which horn of the dilemma they choose: They are sneaks. Thank God their number is few. .- We called at Mrs. Hubert's lately. Ethilda repeated Us an interesting p"oem entitled " The Fisherniari.'' It was very Ittautiful. Some low-bred girls in town make faces and call this gifted rhild " Ethilda Nobody;" but she will be re niernbered when they are forgotton Some people remind us of cattle in a cow yard wheii a strange animal appears in their midst They display their bru tal nature by hooking them. The lri'dst amusing of all things is the braggadocio bf the mist They can lie about their circulation and ours with such ease. Since, the Father of lies or ignated the paper, it is not wonderful. Falshood is their chief Stock in trade. Glendye was a good representative of their kind. The coat of arms, of th Muckles should be an octopus, a dirty klimy thing that kills everybody it hugs. J. Press Walker reports that T. A. Cloninger will give a ball on St Valen tine's Day and Washington's Birthday. He just knows how to bring a big crowd, and interest them after he gets them there. Tom is a splendid entertainer, and a rusher when he start in. He has ac quired deservedly a big reputation, and his wife can just take the cake in the matter of splendid cookery. ; Dili you ever have a guitar in the head 7 Isn't it musical? And then there is always an oyster in your mouth or a gob of condensed milk, and you are hunting a place to deposit, and your throat has mere hems than a well ruf fled dress "and more haws thin grew on a well-fruftted Ihovn'tree, Isn't it a sweet way to live and enjoy yourself in coughing, (coffin) G. W. McBride has increased his stock lately in many articla Jara'u ShintafiV:r" lias a ranch on the the headways' of the Coweman. He lately went there, and found ih'o house burn6 J Jo'-.fh. It was full of tools, bed ding and provB'io'ns; there being noth-' ing left there lie was necessitated to re turn. He hired a man to build auithrr house. Ho' believes the hoifse was robbed, and then burnt to concea! the theft . Hans had a wife whose mouth was al ways open. She was very scarey about her health. Hans told her he had con sulted a physician who said one to be healthy must breathe through their nose and keep their m'outh shut. By this ruse he escaped many a scolding and his wife acknowledged hc-r mouth felt be tter, and was not as near tired as it utfed to be. - We visited the Butts House and look supptr. Mr. Butts was very sweet on us, treating us to sbmo magnificent hon ey. His" son Albert has arrived from .East of the Mountains. There we met t. . . , - . . . ... Mr. and Mrs. Waud. Mr. Uittts talks of going into the canning I usiness in Alaska with Mr. Wau'tt. Butts is there already. A sou of Mr. Mrs. Currier has been to Portland with He? little sotf who ha3 been ill. His grandfather,1 Mr. Currier took him to a skillful pKyJficiari and had the child examined. It is a great pet with his grandfather, as he is an only grand son. M Currier is a leading man in Portland. lie was originally from Newbury port Mass. The Army and NaVy Journal ot a re cent date says: " Lieutenaut A. Thom as, of the 9th U. S. infantry, who re cently resigned from the' firiTty; after a short service of less than a year, lias lcen offered an excellent chance for em barking in busiires iu Portland, Orego:, and will feave for that city in a short time." The mist man tried Cloninger in his paper, and sat as judge on the case. He made himself very fresh on the premis es. Every man is entitled to a fair trial and it is cruel as well as base to hound on the public. It is fhe bravery of a Sioux Indian who counts his coos by kicking a dead foe. There is to be a Teachers' Institute here in February so School Superintend ent Quick .informs us. Mr. Quick has leen to the Washington County Insti tute where he was Secretary. He re ports there were some teachers there froia Portland of the genus, dude. A generous heartec" Chinaman gave a certain family a b'a?k. The paterfami lias of the family aforesaid was said to be a stock owner in the mist. The bank was exchanged for a scrap book as the mist-stock would not yet yield an income sufficient to fill the bank. Enoch Shintaffcr will give a Ball on St Valentine's night at the Masonic Hall. Mrs. Konkle will prepare the supper. Everything will undoubtedly be first-class, us Enoch is a rusher iu such matters, and understand how to get una boom IT " We visited two stores at Columbia City, one kept by Cdplcs & Brown, and Mr. C. If. Hodges; They Seemed well filled with goods. Mr. Hodges has a beautiful stand, and is very popular. In his dealings he is straight as a shingle. Broyles' pond is the great attraction. People going and while there are fall of life and spirit "When they return they feel like a tow dish rag: or a dude after his.'tailor has presented hi3 bill. There is a geiieral feeling of goneness. There is near $500 due us on last years CoiXMihAK. Will not our friends come out promptly. We need money to set tle our bill. It is not much for each one that owes usj but would in the ag gregate be a big thing for us. It is reported the Muckles have bought a half interest in all Dean Blan chard has. Time will show whether the clique are' trying to change the county seat so as to make the county buy the land and lumber of thorn. Hezekifth Caples' house now sits in a street And will Uc moved in the spring perhaps to tlie opposite side of the road, higher up the Columbia; Some very valuable fruit-trees will have to be dug "P- . Judge Moore has received his new Safe. It is a beauty, and cost near $.J00. It will contain the abstract of title of lands in Columbia County.

A Valuable Publication; Each viitliot of Tlte West Shtfrs is an inrp'rcvCmei:'t upon its p'redece Asora and a ple&sant surprise to the subscribers. ,, Pro-grc:.s" is the publisher's watchword an'd perfection his aim. With its Janu ary number the jVurnal enters its tenth year, and will then appear iu an intirely new dress of type, be generally rernod ele.l una have eight pages added to its present size. More attention will be de voted to general literature than former-1 iy, and its artistic features will also be improved. The improvements will make it almost indespensablo to every family iii tht Northwest. The lMily Oregonian of November 27th speaks of it as follows: "The sketches are admirable j and the workmanship would do1 credit to any city in the Union. Weil written de scriptions of the scenery illustrated are , and the number also contains concise and interesting articles on min- agriculture, fishing, transportation, It is exclusively an Oregon pro etc. duction, and has done a great deal to wards making the reseources of the Northwest known abroad,! having been de voted especially to this work. Mr. Samuel has just purchased at a large ex pense a complete new dress for his jour nal, and from the advance ! .sheets of the January number it is deemed safe to as sert that it will be the handsomest Work ever published in Oregon." The Xorih v;cxt Xeios of the 28th savs:" The West Shore is recognized as the most powerful instrument in drawing desirable immi grants and in making known abroad the resources of the Pacific Northwest With the Jan. number it begins its tenth year, and will then be entirely remodeled and enlarged, and will be niafie fir more at tractive artistically and in its literaty features. While it will continue to do vote as much attention as formerly to the resources of otr country! it will en ter more fully the general field of htera ture. The improvements will make of it a journal that should find its way in to every counting room and family c ir cle on the coast."

Who of us does not enjoy greeting an old friend, especially vhen ( we can con gratulate hint on looking well ? It is with some such feeling that: we welcome to our table Vicx's Flo::.yl Guide, which comics to us dressed in i the neatest and most elegant cover that enterprising house ever issued. To; every lover of garden work we commend, in the hearti est possible manner, this beautiful and exceedingly practical publication. There is not a flower or a vegetable grown that is not illustrated in it, ; and uoine valua ble advice given a3 to how to raise and care for them. Besides all this- the book contains a charming colored plate of flowers, d-ne containing a collection of vegetal iles, and a third shows a speci men of Vick's Extra Early Potato. Vick presents this Floral Guide; (how appro priate the title ! ) to all his last year's customers as a Christinas present, and to all others at the low price of ten cents, and tells such that they can 'deduct the cost of it from their first order for seed.. To our farmer triends, to every market gardener, and those who merely garden for pleasure, we say Get Vick'.s Floral Guide, of James Vick, Rochester, N.

It is very in teresting .and o perfect Gcd-so-id to one who wishes to be posted cu this part of God's moral vineyard. It is a good kir.d and good of the kind.
