ILL KINDS OF EiM QUALITY - ALL OllDERB Promptly attended to and Goods shipori Iwith care. Address, Haekeaey A Beaa, Portland, Oregon, Laying by for a Rainy Day. One of the saddest sights is that of a man, who, after earning a good incoma for man years, finds himself at last re duced to poverty and distress, if not to actual depemdenoe npon charity, simply because he has saved nothing for a ' rainy day." Such a spectacle is not uncommon in the great city of New York, where the cost of living is so high, and the temptations to spend money lav ishly are so numerous and alluring. Multitudes of men living on salaries or days' wages, and with families depend ent npon them for present and future support, are to-day spending every dol lar they earn. Be the income large or small, it goes as fast as it comes, and at the end of the year, if it shows no deficit, is equally devoid of a " balance on hand." Bo reckless a mode of living, we need hardly say, is unworthy of a man of sense. : One who has only his brain or his manual dexterity to depend npon for the support of himself and his fam ily, is liable at any time to lose his power to earn. If that time comes early in life it is his misfortune, and he is not to blame for it. But the man who goes on for a decade or score of years, earning money and saving noth ing, has no right to complain if at last he suffers the due penalty of his fool ish improvidence. It is, in a word, every man's duty not only to "live within his income - to do otherwise is simply knavery but to lay by a part of bis earnings as provision for the fu ture. No matter how small the . in come, something should be saved. "It is a. disgrace, we onoe heard a mer chant say to a thriftless clerk, "for a man to die without having enough to pay his funeral expenses." It is a greater disgrace for him to become, as so many do, a burden upon private or publio charity, if by reasonable self denial in prosperous days he can save something to live upon when the abil ity to earn no longer exists. It ss not always an easy or a pleasant thing, we admit, to save money. - Many men say, I cannot save anything with out depriving myself and my family of enjoyments which are essential to our happiness. let it is worthy of note that as the income increases the "enjoy ments" increase with it, proving that they are relative, not positive necessities, and may be somewhat entailed without depriving life of all its sweetness. The question to be considered is, whether it is not better to provide for the average happiness and comfort of life by prudent saving than to enjoy heedlessly the pass ing moments, and trust to "luck for weathering the distant "rainy day. no sensible man. surely, can find any difficulty in determining what the answer should bo. Prudent regard for the future does not. as some suppose, imply distrust of God's providential care. The admonition te "take no thought for the morrow" is to be interpreted simply a a warning against the anxious, worrying, miserly spirit which leads men to give their whole thought for getting and saving money, to the exclusion of all nobler oc cupations and generous impulses. The same divine voice which uttered tnis ad monition also bids us take counsel of the ant, whioh lays by her store for the f u tare need. In fine while a mean and sordid parsi mony is to be avoided, it is me su- premest folly for a man to go on year af ter year spending all be earns, when any day his power to earn may be taken from him. .Enjoyments obtained at such a cost are dearly bought, as many a man has learned by bitter experience. A. r. A Bbavb Bbakxxax. A most daring act of bravery was performed on the New York, Lake trie and Western Kail way a few days ago. I ram Ho. w was approaching Kirkwood, a small way station. Tbaddeus xanney, a oraiceman, who was sitting on the pilot of the en gine, saw a woman walking on the track a few rods ahead of the train. He seized the bell-rope, and giving it a sudden jerk, drew the attention of the engineer, who blew his whistle several times very londlv. The woman paid no atiention but kept on the track. The engineer re versed the engine, somewhat reducing the speed, and the bravo Tanney gave a leap from the head of the pilot, landing safely on his feet. He ran like a deer up the track, and reaching the woman, seized her with a herculean effort, and threw her off the track. The engine was by this time within a few feet of him, and. mustering together all his strength, he gave one desperate bound, landing safelv among the bushes along the track The brave brakesman was slightly in jured, but the woman's life was saved without her receiving a bruise. When asked whv she did not leave the track when the whistle blew, she said she was so frightened that she did not know which track the train was on, or which way to go. The train was stopped, and the brave brakeman congratulated for his brave act. Littlb Bxd Ants. C. B. writes: have found by experience that little red ants cannot travel over wool or rag car pet. I covered mv floor with coarse wool or rsg carpet. I covered my floor with coarse baize, set my safe on that, and have not been troubled since. Cover a shelf in your closet or pantry with flannel, set whatever you wish to keep from the ants on it, and they will at once disappear. I have tried it. R. G. SCROGGS, A. M.. M.

Re turns of the election are coming in as rapidly as can be expected. One hundred and ten towns heard from give the follow ing vote: In 1870, Fairbanks, republican, received 2o,393; isingnam, democrat, 11,- U. in lssu, t-aruum, republican, re ceived 26,572; Phelps, democrat, 11,677; Heath, greenback, 802; Republican gain, 1179; democratic tiain, 7.

Montpeuer, Sept. 7. Returns from this district show that Randall is far be hind his ticket for congress. The republ icans are saining in the large towns along the line of the railroad. Joyce is undoubtedly elected by a largely increas ed majority. A Madera Miracle. Milwaukee, Sept, 7. A young Nor wegian named Roeendahl, from Minnea polis, gave an exhibition yesterday of walking on the water. It wusa complete success. With bis feet secured in two small boat like structures the young man walked rapidly and easily on the surface or the water. The. peculiarity or Kosen dabl's invention is the possibility of making progress by an actual walking movement. 1 here was no striding back or Bideways. but a straight forward walk at the rate of at least three miles per hour. Thousands of spectators witnessed the feat and the crowd was very enthusiastic over the young man's success. The swell occasioned by parsing tugs did pot dis turb the walker to any noticeable degree. The Vermont Election. BcRUNtiToN, Kept. 8. One hundred and fifty towns heard from give the republi cans a majority or 17,000. On this basts the republuati majority overall will be about 22,500 and their plurality about 27,000. The legislature will have but one deuiocra'ic senator, ' he bouse will be overwhelmingly republican. ammenta of the Blew York Pre. New Yobk, Sept. 8. The Timet savs of the Vermont election: The most sang nine of the estimates which were other than mere gneeses, gave the republicans this year the majority or una, between 23.000 and 24,000 but all returns so fur re- ceived shew that the majority of 1872 has been exceeded. The Tribune says: If the republicans gain in the 181 towns not fully reported, as they have gained in towns beard from, their majority will be 2a,790. This would exceed the wildest anticipations of the most sanguine republicans. It would exceed the largest republican majority for governor in the last decade. The re publicans have already 15,000 majority n llu out ot 231 towns, and tbev Wuiitd have been satisfied with 20,000 in the whole state. The Vermont Election. White River Jujjctioh Vt.. Sept 9 Returns of the Btate eleetion and guber natorial vote have been received from 222 towns, leaving 21 to be heard from. The oongreHsional vote has been received from 'MS towns, leaving 39 towns to be heard from, The gubernatorial vote stands as follows: Faroham, republican, 48,853; Pheli. democrat, 20,717; Heath. greenback, 1530; Farnham's majority over all, 26,576. The same towns gave in IS b,t air banks, republican, 44,Uoo; Uhik ham, democrat, 20,320; scattering, 78 Fairbanks' majority, 23,627. This shown a republican gain of 2004, and a demo cratic gain of 307. Tho towns to be heard from gave in 186, Fairbanks, republi can, 658; Bingham, democrat, 668. But if the republican gain in the remaining 20 towns are proportionate to those heard from, rarnhatn s majority win beat least 11. . Wl . 1 ... . 1 I ..I . zo,v.m wun me enure vote oi ine suiie. In 1876 the republican majority was 23,725. In the first congressional district 74 towns give Joyce, republican, 13,150; Randall, democrat. 448; Martin, greenback, CSo, Jovce's majority, 7067.

The complexion of the next legislature will be more strongly republi can than for a long time before being composed of 102 republicans; 15 democrats and! greenbacker. full returns on all the tickets will probably be received to morrow. aearclty of LAborara. Dexver, Col., Sept. 9. A large number of laborers bave been brought from the eastern states and Canada this season to work on the various railroad extensions, of which there are nine in progress. Yet the work is delayed by the scarcity ot labor. The Denver & Rio Granue l om- pany alone require at least 6000 more men than they are at present able to secure. Laborers are receiving from $1 75 to $2 50 per day. The mines draw away more thaD half the number imported. Cfeatrman Marrow the Eeclfle State, Chicago. Sept, ll.-Chairman Morrow of the California state Central republican committee, has been interviewed by the Tribune and states that he has no doubt whatever of the entire Pacific Coast going republican. The only state claimed ser iously bv the democrats as debatable is California, and he carefully considers their grounds for such claim and finds them invalid. The statement be makes is careful and convincing in its logic He is surprised to find so universal a sen timent here that the republicans will carry every northern state. The Man-Horee Race. Ch-.cago, Eept. 11. At midnight the great contest of 1W hours, between horses and men ended and was won by one of the men. There were entered for the race fifteen men and five horses, but at the close only three men and four horses were on the traca. una horse, bpecuia tor, who uas withdrawn after two days, died this morning as his owner claims. from the effects of poison. The score stands: Byrnes 678, Krohne 535, Colston 629, Betsv Raker 569. Hose of Texas .Mo, Both man s entry 527. Dunn's entry 625. There fore Bvrnes eels the first prize of $20(l0; Betsy Baker, second prize, li Q00; Rose of Texas, third prize, coiston, lounn, $250; Bothman's entry, fifth prize, $150; and Dunn's entry sixth prize, $100. Byrne ia acaMtelv more than a bov and his per furmance is considered Quite wonderful. He covered 90 miles yesterday and 88 to day and if his nearest rival had not arsnrH would have got 10 or 16 miles fur tber. Betsy Baker was very lame at the close. In fact the horsea were all in very bad form at the aloae. The exhibition was brntal and the spectators were much disgusted with the ti eat meat oi the am mala.

A thick glaze of ice covered every part of her from keel to rail, from truck to deck. Even the ropes and sails were partially stiffened with it. Her whole appearance showed the rough -usage she had sustained among the floes and storms of the Antarctic. The paint on her sides was worn away; long, streaks of rust extended above and below her fore main and mizzen chains, and her hnll was braised and battered from bow to stern. All these things gave to her an appear ance that was almost unearthly, and which harmonized well with her name, the Flying Dutchman, painted on her stern. She was, however, not the Flying Dutchman about which eyeryone bas read, and her Captain was the good Simon Pearl, a stern, matter-of-fact per sonage from the town of Salem. j The old water-dogs shook their heads solemnly when they read the name npon Pearl's vessel as she lay off the dock waiting for men. The Portuguese sailor and the Spaniards crossed themselves when they saw it; and, in fact, all agreed that no good luck would ever attend a craft bearing the awful name of the Fly ing Dutchman. 1 But Captain Pearl refused to change the name. At last he succeeded in shipping a crew many of whom were green hands and the vessel sailed, the Captain car rying with him his pretty neice, Mabel a rosy, bright-eyed damsel of twenty, who was an orphan, and who had ac companied her ancle on a previous voy age. Pearl had a doctor on board a good looking young man of twenty-five, named George Lossing who, the mo ment he saw Mabel and conversed with her, decided that she would make an ex cellent wife. In fact, she was intelligent, so modest, and with all her charming ' vivacity, so plainly showed the "house wifery' fac ulty in her neat management of the cabin, and in a certain demureness of mann 3r, that she charmed the doctor. In spite of her ominous name, tbe ship, although meeting with many nar row escapes in tbe Antarctic Ocean, and although frozen in the ice for months, bad e tcellent luck in the whaling line. ! On this afternoon, in 1853, she was bound for home, full of whale and seal oil, which would bring a rich harvest to Pearl (who was her owner as well as her captain,) provided she reached her port in safety. Would she reach it? i This was the question often propound ed by her crew. t Some of them were of the opinion that she never would, on account of her name, and all felt a little uneasy on the subject. ' On dark nights, when the wind was howling around the craft, driving the ice before it, the watch would shrug their shoulders, and peer through the thick gloom, as if every moment expect ing to behold some spectral vessel flying past them, or ranging alongside. But the ship bad now shaaen on tne last grinding mass from her side, and an illimitable extent of clear water, glistening in the rays of the sinking sun, stretched before her. Down in the cabin sat Mabel and the doctor watebing the red light coming through the window. Iho girl bad lust promised to be George's wife; and he held both of her hands in his. The sky ib without a cloud, she said softly. "I feel as if this is emblem atical of our future. We will look upon it as a happy au gury," he replied. ' Ui conrse there will be clouds there always is in mar ried life but I trust they will be light I ones as thin as the mist, and as easily dissipated." Oh, George," said Mabel, ner eyes shining, "what cloud ia there in this world that love cannot dispel ?" Her smooth, round face looked so pretty when she said this that the young man could not help putting an arm about her waist and kissing her glowing cheek. That is a woman a theory, he said, smiling. It is a true one, she answered. " Love can dispel every trouble, every pain. . . - .. . a a il - .... Wait till the Daoy nas ine cramp, and see if it will dispel that 1 came at this moment, the bluff voice of Captain Pearl, as he suddenly descended the companion's steps. ".Now, uncle, lor shame i iou nave been listening!" cried Mabel, starting up in some confusion. In due time the vessel arrived in the vicinity of the Cape of Good Hope. The face of some of the sailors then wore a solemn look. It was in this locality that the fable phantom craft, the Flying Uutchman, was said to have been seen. Captain Pearl's crew predicted that now the ship s "bad luck" would com mence. on account of that unfortunate name on her stern. As if to verify this prediction one of the men fell from the foreyard and was badly hurt. Another, soon after, was taken so ill that it waa feared he would die. True the voung doctor cured hun in a few hours, but his shipmates insisted that there wss a bad look in bis eyes that he was not at all the same person as before. On that very day, at night, a boat, in which the carpenter had been at work repairing the cabin window shutter, was left towing astern. The captain's pipe, as he leaned irom the window smoking, dropped into the boat. He got into the latter to pick it up, when the pin to which the warp was fastened, and which was somewhat worn, gave way and he drifted oil in the uara ness. His absence was not discovered till hours later, when a fruitless search was made for him in the darkness. Just before davhght, however, a boat, with a man in it. was dimly seen ap- nrnocbing from the direction of the land, which was not a league distant, off the weather-beam. But the crew were mistaken in their suppositions. It proved to be the cap tain. As he sen ilea tne ooat unaor tne stern of the ship, when she hove to, in stead of alongside, it was noticed that he had a roll of canvas, wmcii iiaa oeen in the light craft, spread out so as to cover nearly all the boaras. After he had sent lorwara ine men, who were staring over the rail at him. some of them apparently surprised, if not disappointed, that their superstitious E redaction of his loss was not fulfilled, a stated that his boat had drifted ashore, where he had remained for his ship to wear round, ere attempting to reach bar. A fortnight later, when fifteen miles south cf Table Bay, and not far from land, the ship was struck by a terrific gale. A thin, sulphurous sort of haze par tially obscured the full moon, the dim rays of which, together witn tne pnos phorus of the aea and the vessel's lan terns, threw a strange, ghastly light over her sails and deck. Almost upon her beam ends, with every timber o racking ana groaning awav she went under shortened canvas, driven with terrific velocity toward the white breakers and rocks, now not fifty fathoms ahead. Pale and gloomy stood the men, for it seemed as if no human power could save the craft from being dashed upon the ' There was scaroely one among the foremast hands who did not believe that their impending doom was owing to the unlucky name of their vessel. Aft stood George Lossing. the young doctor, with one arm supporting the trembling, affrighted Mabel, who clung close to him. "Oh, George, we are lost!" she said. The men rushed for the boats. "Rack!" roared Captain Pearl. "No boat can live in this sea!" Ere the crew, rendered desperate by their situation, could dash him to one side, a weird, unearthly voice -suddenly rose, with ear-splitting shriek behind them. "Keep off I say! Turning, tbe seamen were amazed, horrified to behold a strange being whom they had never seen before, on tbe ship's quarter-deck. This apparition, coming in so unex pected a manner, was dressed in a sin gular, antique fashion, well calculated to arouse their superstitions fears. He wore a high brown sugar-loaf bat; jerkin, around which was a leather ! belt; broad breeches, with two rows of buttons on each aide, and which were gathered at the knees; a pair of blue stockings, ntted tightly to the calves; j and long pointed shoes with enormous buckles. His face was in keep with his ancient Dutch dress. It was thin and aged, with two wild. gleaming eyes, a large, hooked nose, and was partially obscured by his streaming, masses of white hair. Standing in the ghostly glare from the im moonlight, the lantern and phos phorous of the sea, this apparition caught the unnatural radiance, and really seemed a being from the other world. " A pull on the weather brace !" he continued, in a voice that out the gale like the shriek of a steam whiBtle. It is the 'Flying Dutchman' him self !" cried one of the men. " A pull on the weather braces!" shouted the apparition. "Jump for you lives F There waa a magnetism in the voice, and the men now obeyed in spite of their fears. The conrse of the ship was thus blightly changed. The weird pilot, after a lew more or ders, took the helm himself, and, to the surprise of all, guided the vessel into a sheltered bay amongst the towering rocks where she was safely anchored. He then disappeared over the stern, and was never again seen by the awe-stricken crew. On the next day. tbe gale having abated, the Captain reached. Cape Town, which was not far diatant. Tbe appearance of the spectral visitor bad not seemed to alarm either him or his officers; neither had it tioubled lia ble or the doctor. The truth of the matter was this. When the Captain went ashore on the ight he drifted from the ship, he found one of the Dutch inhabitants of the Cape on the beach. This person informed him that he was a fugitive; that be bad been landdrost a sort of sheriff of a dis trict some miles away, but that for lib erating a negro slave from a cruel mas ter,! his house had been attacked by a mob, and he had been obliged to fly for his life. Besides his money, which was in notes. he had brought away with him in a bag tbe only things be could carry tne only valuable, in fact, that he possessed worth caring for. These were some old-fash ioned Dutch clothes, which had belonged to one of his ancestors, and some arti cles of modern attire. He begged Captain Pearl to take him aboard his ship and conceal him. He would rather the crew should not know he was aboard, as there might be those among them to inform against him when tbe vessel reached Cape Town, where he hoped to find a German craft, in which he hoped to take passage lor his native ian(j. The eaotain complied with his reanest. hiding him in the boat by throwing the canvas there over him. lently the fugitives was got through tbe cabin window into the cabin, though not without being seen by Mabel, the doctor and the offioers, who, however, promised to keep the secret. On the night of the storm, the landrost hearing of the vessel a danger, he de clared he would save her, as he was ac quainted with every nook and corner of tbe coast, having been a pilot there, and knew of a sale bay where the craft could anchor. In order that the crew might not guess the truth when he should appear before them, he hit npon the ruse of donning his ancestors ancient Dutch garments, lor having heard oi their j superstitious fears about the name of the ship, he doubted not the crew would, on seeing him thus attired, mistake him for the veritable "x lying Dutchman in person. After saving tbe vessel, the passenger, by means of a dangling rope, descended from the stern rail to the cabin window, through which he was helped by the captain into the cabin. On arriving at Cape Town, Pearl con trived at night to convey him secretly in a boat to the shore, and on the next day he took passage aboard a homebound German craft in the harbor. How Two Lovers Were Reunited. Loring, the Boston bookseller, tells a very romanlio story, as fol- ows: "At one time I bad prepared boxes ot fancy paper with a fancy initial or pet name embossed in it, and I put this up at f 1 box, and advertised it widely. One day 1 had an order from California from a Miss Susie . The box was done up. addressed to her aod lay about bore, when a voung Englishman camo in and wanted to write a letter. 1 gave him the materials and a place, when his ere caught the address oo this box. '"Hare you the order that cam for that box of paper? be asked. Yes, I replied, ' ti about some where.' Would-' you mind sending it up to my hotel.; it it is what 1 tbmk, 1 shall leave for California to-night.' "1 found it and sent around and heard no more about it for perhaps three months, when one day tne young man, witn a iaay on nis arm walked in. 'Mr. JUonng, 1 want to present to you my wife," he said, 'We could not leave Ibis country till we bad thanked you for your part in bringing as together.' The denouement- was ouite a romance. The young man was the son of an aristo cratic family, and the girl the daughter of tbe gardner. But love levels all distinctions, and the young man felt this girl to be tho chosen companion of u.s life. To break off this attachment his father had sent him to the Continent aod dispatched ine garaener ana nts pretty aaagn- ter to America, where tbe ; yoaog man had followed them, ignorant of their address, and at last finding it through the chance of a box of paper." .-. - , ;. w.;:..

Absolute health is only attained when the body is equally developed in all its organs and members. The man with muscles of steel and a diseased heart can not be said to be in good health, and diseases of stomach, heart and nervous system are often it may even be said usually produced by that system of development known as training. At a recent rowing match in Philadelphia, two plucky lads in contesting boats fainted aa soon as the race was over. Their condition, which waa apparently good, was abnormal, and their systems gave way because the strain which their muscles met was. too great for the vital functions. Yesterday a similar bnt more serious calamity occurred at sag Harbor. A Brooklyn lad, who had taken part in a pedestrian contest, when removed from the track fell down dead. He had prepared himself for walking and running, and depleted bis vital organs to build up his liibs. When the strain came the impoverished and most important part of the system gave way. The severe musular exer cise of college athletes has carried off many fine young men by consumption, heart disease and other, disorders di rectly traceable to the absurd overwork required of their bodies. There is a limit of human endurance. That limit is reached when the body is impaired in one quarter to benefit special organs. The severity of the test bf whioh ath lete prizes are won seems designed rather to award the laurel to him who is least healthy, because more unevenly developed than the really best man.

The (Tlglnal cf ilapia CL&jta. Every one knows how Sir Robert Cot ton rescued the original manuscript of Magna Chart from the bands cf a eoi- mon tailor who was cutting it up for patterns. As this copy was certainly not unique,' we should only have Lad to regret the loss of a curiosity. The valu able collection of the Thurloe state pa pers would probably bava remained a secret to the world had it not been for the tumbling in of tbe ceiling of some old chambers in Lincoln's Lm, where those documents had, for soma reaSsn er Other, been concealed. In the secret drawer of a chest the cu rious manuscripts of Dr. Dee, the occult philosopher, lurked unsuspected for years. Many of the letters of Lady Mary Montagu, letters which are amopg the most delightful compositions ever penned, and which have long taken their place among English classics, were found in the false bottom of an old trunk. Lord Herbert of Cherbury. autobiogra phy was all but lost to the world. It was known that when Lord Herbert died there were two copies of the work, one written with his own hand, and one , ! transcribed by an amanuensis. At last, ' in the midst of a mass of worm-eaten, aaoldy old papers at Ly more in Mont gomeryshire,, a gentleman came npon the original copy. Several leaves had been torn out, many others had been su stained by damp -as to 'be illegible. Enough could be decipeered, however, to show the value of the work. The only hope was that if the duplicate could be secured it might supply tha lacunas of the original. But years rolled by and no duplicate turned up.. In 1737 aa estate belonging to tbe Herbets was sold. Some few books, pictures and lumber were stored away in an attic, apparently too worthless for tbe purchaser to take away and lo! among these waa found the long lost and much .desired duplicate. And thus did English liter ature possess itself of one of the most in teresting biographies it can boast. In. deed, tbe late Lord Lytton used to say that there waa no single book, of this kind at least, that he treasured so highly. Still more romantic was the discovery of Luther's Table Talk. Temple Bar.

The following hitts. tliOTtrti contain ing nothing novel, are apt to be forgotten by those who in summer cull the choicest flowers for house decoration: , Flowers decay much sooner when tied in bunches -than when arranged loosely. Too little air and too much water are the bane of most species. The moisture, furnished cut flowers should be rain water of moderate tem perature. When gathering flowers use a pair cf sharp shears, or a knife of woody plants, such as rosea, camelias, spireas, deutzias, f uschsias and ths like. It is far better to gather your flowers than to let them fade upon the plants. A cool room is best adapted for keep ing flowers fresh stale - tobacco-smoke will wilt flowers. Take away each flower as it fades or it will destroy the others. ' - Hot water will often restore ftowers to freshness, even when every petal is drooping. Place the stems in acup cf boiling hot water; let them remain nntil each petal has become smoothed out; then cut off the clotted ends and ', place them in water of moderate temperature; Ammonia added to the water also revives them quickly.
