Hirstel that he kad to be a smarter man than
he was if he sold him a bill of goods. The
next morning we saw the same merchant
hand Mr. Hirstel aa' order for a large bill of
pood. When Joe acknowledges a merchant
to be smarter than he is, there is bright pros

A "POME."
A man that cheats the printer
Out of a Binglc cent,
Will never reach the heavenly land,
Whera old Elijah went.
His food m'ill tie hot plowshares,
Mixed with molten tin;
And thft happiness that he will reap
Will be almighty thin.
He'll loaf around the pearly gate.
And by devils he'll be driven,
Aud not a glimpse of Paradise
Will the dead beat be given.
He will have to eat the thistles
Of sorrow and regret,
And buck around the heavenly gate
With cassedness, you bet.
And when he meets Sant Peter
Who will ask for his receipt,
He'll fire him out of Paradise
With "he's a newspaper beat."

"Mamma;" said'a small boy, "do you
believe everything papa says?"
"Of course, my child,' replied the
mother, with wifely pride."
"Everything, mammal"
"Yea, dear, everything."
"Well, I don't."
"Hush, you wicked boy; you musn't
talk so. What did your papa ever say
that you couldn't believe?"
"Yon know that widow on the next
square who always looks so sour at us
boys!"
"You mean that pretty Mrs. Bontanl"
"She's the one. I heard papa tell
her yesterday that she was the sweetest
woman in town, and then he gave her
a bunch of flowers, and it made me so
ashamed to hear him tell such a story
that I ran away and wouldn't let him
know I had caught him in it."
"That will do, my child," said the
mother, with a peculiar look in her gen
tle face; "run out and play, and I will
tell voor father when he comes in that
he must be particular not to destroy hi3
son's confidence in his veracity."
Salt in Food. Experiments for the
purpose of discovering the effects of
salt and other condiments when used in
cooking have been made by Dr. Hussen.
It is shown, among other things, that
in cooking butcher's meat only an
ounce of salt should be used with from
six to twelve ounces of meat; if more
is emploped, it will either modify the
structure of a portion of the muscular
fibre, so as to render it more resistant
to the action of the gastric juice, or it
will itself check and retard the peptic
fermentation, the very groundwork of
digestion. It follows that salted and
smoked meats are more indigestible
than fresh. Vinegar, it appears, may
be used with good effect, provided it is
not in a quantity to irritate the stom
ach, and it is a pure dilution of acetic
acid, freed from sulphuric or hydro
chloric acid.

A Scottish newspaper says: Several
articles of public utility are now being
systematically and profitably manufac
tured m London out of the human
skin. An exhibition has just taken
place, in which twenty -four exhibits
appeared, all of this costly leather. The
exhibitor was not a Yankee, but an en
terprising Scotchman. He gaj a lec
ture on this exhibit, in which bVclaimed
that our hides made the very best of
leather for general use. The purses
exhibited were especially elegant, and
not only ornamental but serviceable
enough for the most utilitaiian. They
were subjected to the roughest usages
and boro the handling well. He also
showed gloves tough enoujjh for the
mosc thoroughbred prize fighter. The
exhibitor said ihe skins of l?zy and
aristocratic people were inferior to
those of the poorer classes for tanners'
use.
We really do not know what ails the

are few. The Democratic laborers of

Acquire Homes.
In this section of the country real es
tate is advancing with the tide of immi
gration that is setting to our western
shore.
There is yet much public land that
by patient, persevering toil can , be
aiadq. to'yield the golden harvest in its
season. It needs only the muscle and
will to make many of tho jungles and
thick eldln'our" mountains and foot hills
team -with agricultural wealth-. If
many of our 'young men wjfp worse than
waste their time, would pick out suita
ble homesteads and npend one half the
time they waste each year, in clearing
and .improving their lands, they would
in the next five years find-themselves
transformed from dudes and hoodlums
into respectable, thrifty farmers with
blight prospects before thorn. The
joung men should bo encouraged to
take up and till the soil. Farming is
the most honorable as well as the most
useful of callings.
All experience has demonstrated that
the agricultural classes are the safest to
entrust with political power. Men
who live upon their own broad acres and
maintain themselves by the lalor of
their own hands, are conservative in
their opinions, cautious in what con
cerns their own welfare and averse to
political experiments. They: aie the
basis of our civilization and the senti
nels on the watch towers of ourlibei'
ties. Their position is that f freedom
and independence known to , no other
class of people. -

Another Eunaway.
About ten o'clock Monday morning
Albert Cole' was unhitching Mr. A. E.
Champagne's team from tho wood wagn
at the hotel, when the horses became
frightened and started to run, with the
tug of nigh hurs still hitched to the
wrgon. Young Cole fell down and the
wagon passed over kirn without injuring
him. The horses turned to run up
Main street, when Mr. Crump, who
was at work in front of th new addi
tion to the hotel caught the nigh horse,
whieh tramped upon him and dragged
him dokvyn. Mr. Champagne caught the
horse By this time and -held 6n some
time. He was thrown in between the
horses and knocked down and pretty
badly hurt, receiving a severe hurt on
the hand and an ugly cut on the back
of the head. He remained unconscious
for some lime, but is able to be about
again, and it is to be hoped that his in
juries may not prove serious.
Mr. Crump received an injury in his
right foot, which will in 11 probability
get well sooner than his boot, which
was badly torn by tho horse's shoe.
Mr. Champagne succeeded in stop
ping the horses. No damage was done
to thm or the wagon. .

W. Hoover and wife, of this city. De
ceased was born in Sullivan county,
Missouri, August 5, 1849. She came
with her parents to California in 1854
and thence to Roseburg in 1858, where
she remained until her. marriago with
A. J. Bu-nett in 1871. She has re
sided since then in this State and Tex.
as and for the last five years in Cali
fornia. She leaves a husband and feur
children, one boy and .three gills, to
miss and mourn her. The eldest child
is eleven and the youngest four years
old. In addition to her immediate rel
atives here there are many old acquain
tances, old friends, who join in sincere
grief at her going hence, at the full de
velopment of womanhood. As a child
she was gentle, kind and artless and so
continued through life. An obedient,
affectionate child, a devoted wife,
tender and watchful mother has passed
over the stream of life and solved the
mvstenous beyond. Uou rest her in
peace.

A heavy rain and wind storm passed over
a portion of this county on last Monday
The rain was not very heavy about Rose
burg, but the wind was the n.ost violent we
have had for many years. The old engine
house, near the depot, was blown to pieces,
shade trees were blown down, shingles
blown from roofs, but no serious damage oc
curred. The rain was very heavy in the vi
cinity of Mt. Scott, a little before noon, aud
in Coles valley the rain came down in such
torrents that it resf-mbled a cloud-burst
Considerable hay was cut and will, no doubt
be damaged to some extent, but beyond this
no serious damage was done. Such a storm
if unusual f.r this season of the vear.

Eldorado- "
Gaily betlight, a gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long, singing a song.
In search of Eldorado.
-But he grew old, this knight so bold,
Aud o'er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found no spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.
And as his strength failed him at length
He met a pilgrim shadow.
"Shrxlow," said he, "where can it be,
This spring of Eldorado?"
Quoth the shadow: "For the beuefit o
suffering humanity I will state tht the El
dorado spring is situated three miles west
from Kosegurg, and a supply of the water is
kept constantly on hand aud for sale by Dr.
S. Hamilton, agent, Eoseburg, Oregon."
Mr. Geo. W. Joves. Dear Sir: I have been
troubled with neuralgic iaius in my h-iad and check
bones, for several years, and hid give up all hopes of
ever Retting cured. I went to your medical spriiip-s
with my sou James and got Borne of the water, and
drank it freely and found tht it was a mild phytic
1 uied it three times a day for a little more than two
months, and the jniin left me and I have not felt
them since, and tht has beeu7 inonths"ayo.

count of piles (blind) and went to Portland to get re
lief from doctors there. I met Mr. Apple of Rose
bnrg. who. adviaodane before seeing the doctors to
try your Eldorado Mineral Water.. I did so and had
one dozen bottles sent to me by A E. Champague.

GEO. W. JONES: Dear Sir. From sheer curiostl j
1 was induced to try Eldorado Water and was i:ot on- .
ly surprised but highly gratiBeJ with the result. I .
have for many years been a sufferer from dysrepsia
and have tried every kind of pepsin known to
pharmacy and without rexult. The contrary was my
experience from tho use of your mineral water. Ta
ken according to directions it produced immediate
relief and iua short time, if 'ontinued, would secure
permanent cure. To any wlv will avoid irritating
stimulants, I am satisfied it will prove of valuable
comfort and benefit. As a general reirulator I found
it most excellent. L. F. LANE.
