SATURDAYSEPTEMBER 14, 1895 THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. " The French republic is a quarter of a century old today. That i3 a vener- - able age -for a form of government in France. There has been nothing in the past hundred years to compar with it. All the revolutionary govern- - xnents put together, from the founda tion of the first republic to the fall of Napoleon, did not last so-long. The constitutional monarchy of 1791 en dured in name for one year. There- public of 1792 lasted, through all the turmoils of the convention, the com mittee of public safety and the direct ory, for seven year, or, if the consulate be included, for nearly twelve years. The first empire had a life of nine years, with a resurrection of three months more. The legitimist mon archy lasted for sixteen years, with the break of the hundred days. The burgeois monarchy of Louis Phlllippe held out for eighteen years. The sec ond rephblic had a shadowy existence of four years, and the empire that fol lowed maintained its footing for eigh teen. Then came the present repub- - lie, which has already lasted for twenty-five years, and is stronger now than ..' ever before. The past quarter of a century has :been, with hardly an exception, the longest period of peace that France has ever known. Since the fall of the Paris commune in the first year of the - republic, .there has been nothing, within or without, to disturb seriously the tranquility of the French people. There have been little wars, of course, in Annam. China, Madagascar, and eisewhere, but nothing that has really affected the life of France. "The em pire is peace," said Napoleon III, and ' proved it with four great wars in 18 - years, the last of which destroyed his dynasty and robbed the country of two provinces. The republic has made no -.- nrofessions. but it has maintained , peace for nearly 25 years. , At the time of its birth, the third republic was confronted by three powerful faction of domestic enemies. Thejjaaapartists, Legitmists and Orr leanists together commanded a major- " ity of the nation, or at least of its rep resentation. Now the blood of the Bonapartes hos oozed out into the gut ters, until there is no longer a Bona Dartist Dartv worth fighting. The . Legitimists have lost their head, and their faction, united with that of the ' Orleanists. is no longer as formidable as either one was alone 20 years ago. - In fact, the pretender to the throne is said to have given up the struggle, convinced that the republic is a per manency. From present appearances, the only thing that can overthrow the republi- can form of government in France is a foreign war. A successful general mle-ht nbssiblv be able to imitate the example, of Napoleon, but he must be the real article. . An imitation gen eral will not do. as Boulanger dis covered. San Francisco Examiner, ITEflS IN BRIEF. From Saturday'! Daily. Commissioners court adjourned . day until the 14th. to- The weather report for today and to morrow is "fair and warmer.'f : Roger-: Sinnott has been elected captain of The Dalles hose team.

Mr. Haworth will be employed, temporarily at least, . in the new.paper to be started by Mr. Barzee in the metropolis sometime this month. Mrs. Baldwin and son Bertie, will leave on the morning passenger for ' .Portland. Bertie will go on to Mt. Angel college near Salem, and Mrs, Baldwin will visit relatives in san - Francisco, and will be away a month or more. ''Conductor Fowler, with that large ness of heart which is bis peculiar characteristic took his celebrated dog "Trlby" to Umatilla yesterday. The dorg has been in poor health lately, '- and hLarry nopes tne cnange oi cli mate may prove beneficial. , Judge Blakely today sent Lee Mc- maney, a Doy oi aooui. 12 years 01 age. to the Boys and Girls Aid Societ at Portland, and Frank Palm a boy sent . by that society to Gilliam county, but whose time is out was found a place with Mr. McReynolds. .. - Oregon City's hose team was evi dently dissatisfied with the Vancouver tournament, as it today issued a chal lenge to the Vancouver team to run any of the races under the same regu- - lationa as provided at the tournament, for 8200. The race to be run any- - where except the homes 01 tne teams. The members of The Dalles hose -team speak very highly of Chief Mc- Carty, of the Vancouver fire depart ment, and mention as bright and par ticular exceptions to the general treat ment they received the kindly acts of Mr. Denny Hays, one of the soldiers, and a blacksmith, whose name they do not rememl-'. ' A wreck occurred at the O. R. & N. depot at Union yesterday morning. The train ran into an open switch and collided with a flat car. Engineer Jack Thatcher bad one leg broken and was otherwise seriously injured and -Brakeman Joe Richardson was fear fully cut about the face and head and bis ankle was fractured. Eleven carloads of horses passed down last night, to be slaughtered at sailor has become an accepted fact, and the hardy cayuse that erstwhile . switched his tail and tossed his mane on the bunchgrass hills of Eastern Oregon will now be dished upon the raging main, and be tossed before the .mast. Mr. J. D. Halliday, of Galveston, . Texas, and one of the proprietors of "Cooper's Sheep Dip" is in the city for the purpose of introducing that material. In order to give it a practi cal test, Mr. Halliday will have Mr. Fagan's flock treated with it, as soon as arrangements for doing so can be completed. He is also interested in BheeD-shearinc machinery which he . will undertake to introduce here next - spring. From Monday's Daily. Mr. J. N- Reynolds, of Hood River, is in the oity. The weather report for tomorrow is fair and stationary. The local passenger was half an hour late this afternoon. Mr. J. R. Rankin came up from Hood River this afternoon. A patent from the United States to Jos Obrist wa9 filed for record today. License to marry was issued today to E. B. Clark and Miss I. L. Everhart. Mr. Clark is the O. R. & N. agent at the Cascade Locks and one of the most affable gentlemen in the state. The Times-Mountaineee gives him its paternal blessing and wishes him that measure of happiness that he de serves. Mr. George A. Young and his son, the sheepmen of Bakeoven, are in the city. Mr. C. G. Hickock, one of the lead ing merchants of Cascade Locks, is in the city. Judge Bradshaw will begin the fall term of court at Fossil, Gilliam county, next Monday. Capt. W. P. Gray came up from Portland Saturday and yesterday went to Sherman county. Mr. Arthur E. Stewart and Miss Maggie Watson were married at Ante lope last Thursday. Mrs. Clara Z. Underbill, of Boyd, was in the city today and honored this office with a call. Judge Bradshaw, who has been hold ing court for Judge Hurley in Port land, arrived home Saturday. Prof. Vincent, of Indiana, will lect ure on the silver question in The Dalles at some date in the near future. Mr. George W. Hunt, the railroad builder, came down from Umatilla yesterday and left for Heppner this afternoon. There was a light fall of rain all around us last night, but The Dalles didn't take any of it. As a result the atmosphere is not only clear but rather cool. Wiseman and Sherer who are en gaged in buying a trainload of sheep, came in from Mt. Adams Wednesday, but will return to that neighborhood to see about their purchase in a day or two. . Persons desiring Premium Lists for the 2d Eastern Oregon District Fair, to be held October 8th, can get them by calling at the Times-Mountaineer or Chronicle offices, or by addressing J. O. Mack, Secretary. The sale of the Cooper property by the sheriff took place at the court house at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The property was bid in by the Solicitors' Loan & Trust Co. for the amount of the judgement and costs $6516. The tax sale of property for delin quent taxes - for the years 1892 and 1893, which was to have taken place this morning at 10 o'clock was post poned until next Monday at 10 o'clock on account of lack of bidders. At the last session of the commis sioners' court an alias warrant was or dered issued for the collection of de linquent taxes of 1894. All taxes not paid at the end of 60 days will be col lected by sale of the property. Tomorrow the fall salmon season will commence, and from all reports the run will be a large one. Nets and seines are being overhauled, and the middle river will make a strong effort to make up for the poor spring catch. The list of bills allowed by the county commissioners is an unusually long one. County Clerit Kelsay is busily engaged in making oat the war rants, hence it is impossible to get the list as the journal is in constant use by him. The spars of the Defender were of good yellow fir, that grew in Oregon soil, and toughened under the sway ings caused by the Chinook winds. It is a foregone conclusion that anything grown in Oregon is going to take first place agaihs the world. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Worth, of El lensburg, and Mrs. A. M. Chapman and Miss Agnes Schanno, of North Yakima, are visiting Mr. and Mrs. Emil Schanno. Mrs. Chapman and Miss Schanno are neicea of Mr. Schanno, and Mr. Worth, who is en gineer on . the Northern Pacific, is married to another neice. Several four-horse teams loaded with new wheat from the Klickitat valley came in today. There will be a steady stream of them from now until snow flies, and they come because The Dalles most of which is purchased at the Dia mond Mills. "Papa's pants will do for Willie' will no longer be in it, in describing the misfortunes and misfits of the small boy. When the little chap has to run up against the family bloomers he will be the picture of the inconsol able, and that too in sundry and divers colors. Alas I Poor Willie I C. M. St. Clair will give a free tra peze performance in the vacant lot on Third between Laughlin and Jefferson streets this evening at a quarter past 7 o'clock. Mr. St. Clair is not only daring trapeze performer, but a first- class contortionist. Lights for the oc casion will be furnished by a chande- leir invented by Mr. St. Clair.. John Connell, night clerk at the Columbia, in undertaking to quiet noisy individual yesterday was com pelled to strike nun. Tne blow was delivered all right, but Mr. Connell had not allowed for the hardness of the target. When his fist impinged on the oher fellow's cheek it glanced upwards like a gun shot from an armorel cruiser, and with such force that the arm was dislocated at the shoulder, and in consequence remained fixed in the air like selim s wnen witb cup in band be listened to in our mahal s song. Doctor Hollister re paired the damage and got the arm down without a step ladder. According to the Prineville Review. either the sun, the moon or the earth had a wabble on the night of the eclipse. That paper says: . "The total eclipse of the moon was plainly visi ble at this place Tuesday night of this week. The remarkable feature of the eclipse being the apparent vibration of tbe sbadow upon tne lace or tne moon, at times entirely obliterating the moon from sight, then apparently moving back so as to expose part and once or twice all the moon's disc. This feat ure was noticed by a number of peo ple, wnose statements all agree, else we would believe it a case of optical illusion. From Tuesday's Daily. Russell D. Price filed today on 160 acres in sec 11, tp 10 s, r 24 e. The weather report for tomorrow is fair followed by rain, with temperature stationary. Quite a number of cans arrived on the Regulator last night for use in the iierrick cannery. Franklin Reynolds yesterday filed homestead on the n iv i of nei sec 10, and w sei and sel swi sec 3, tp 4 s, r 12 e. uuite a number or persons came in from Cammas Prairie, Washington yesterday, to purchase their winter supplies. The Sunday closing proposition will probably be held up in the council until the return of Councilman Salt marshe from England, which will be sometime next month.. There is an immense quantity of wood on the. beach and more coming every day. Several teams are kept busy delivering it, as our people are gcbbiug 111 tiieii wmuer supply. The foundation for one of Mr. Sam Wilkensens houses on Washington Street is completed, and today the masons are finishing the walls of the cellar built inside of and separate from the foundation walls. Heppner shipped 15 carloads of cat tle to Troutdale yesterday and 85 more carloads will be shipped within the next ten days. The range has been rather short this season but the cattle are in prime condition for beef and are netting fair prices to owners. The way the wheat teams are com ing in from the famous Klickitat val ley is a caution. There was a steady stream of them coming up from the ferry-boat this morning, and the driver of one of the teams told us this morn ing that they "had not commenced to come yet." Mr. J. R. Rankin was a .passenger on the Regulator this morning bound for his home at White Salmon. Mr. Rankin is running, the ferry between White Salmon and Hood River, and is trying to establish a regular landing for the Regulator at his ferry landing on the Washington side. United States Circuit Judge Gilbert, yesterday rendered a decision in the case of United States against the Ore gon & California railroad campany, in favor of the government. The case is commonly known as the "Overlap Caje," and involves title to lands which formed a part of the land grant to the Northern Pacific down the. Columbia, and which the Oregon & California company claimed. Judge Gilberts' decision is in effect that the lands were STanted to the Northern Pacific, and that the grant to the Ore gor & California being subsequent thereto, could not attach. Victor M. Wallace died at Kelso. Wash., on the 5th inat. It is claimed for him that he made the dies for the Oregon mint, and also that he made the printinsr press on which Mr. Cur- rie, afterward governor, printed the Free Press. Mr. Wallace also made two threshine machines the first in the territory. Our press was not in shape to run yesterday, and the Times-Mountaineer was printed on the big Cottrell press of our contemporary, as the is sue of tonisrht will probably be. We appreciate the courtesy shown us, and realize the force of the saying that "It is pleasant for brethren to dwell to gether in harmony." The fall salmon season opened to day, with a much better catch than was made at any time last spring. The Herrick cannery made a run this af ternoon, having about 7 tons of steel- heads and silversiues, and put up about 250 cases. The best run made last spring at this cannery was about 70 cases. Mr. Herrick says the run is reported as being fairly good, and he hopes to put up from 5,000 to 7,000 cases yet this fall. Pendleton has a scouring mill in successful operation, and from present indications she is going to have a wool en mill too. Of 75 shares of stock 28 are already taken, and the canvass of the town has hardly begun. Pendle ton realizes how much the wool-scour ing plant has done for her and is ready to try what a woolen mill will do. We should profit by her example. The Dalles ships in round numbers 3,000 tons of wool, which to use an Irishism, is two-thirds dirt. The wool grower pays freight on 2,000 tons 01 Eastern Oregon dirt, from this place to Boston, an expense tnat snouid oe saved mm. We have plenty of wool and an abund ance of water, and there is no reason why we should not have a fine scouring plant and with it a woolen mill. THE END OF THE SMUGGLING CASE Mr. Lotan is Fined Eight Thousand Dol lars. Judge Bellinger passed sentence yes terday upon James iotan ana oeia Back for their complicity in the smug gling conspiracy. Lotan was sen tenced to pay a fine of $8000 and Seid Back a fine of $5000. There was no imprisonment imposed in either case. . A week ago wben tbe case was called, sentence was postponed in or der to allow-Judge Durand to examine the bill of exceptions, on which the proposed appeal to the supreme court was grounded. A copy of the bill of exceptions was forwarded to Judge Durand, at Flint, Mich., but no word has been received- from him. It was thought therefore that there would be another postponement. However, Judge Bellinger had made up his mind to pass sentence, and let the appeal be perfected afterward. Yesterday forenoon a few minutes before 11 o'clock Mr. Lotan and Seid Back, accompanied by their counsel, Rufus Mallory. Judge Raleigh Stott and George Stout, entered the court room. Soon after the attorneys repre senting tbe government bled in These were United States District At torney D. R. Murphy, John M. Gearin and C. J. Schnabel. At 11 o'clock Judge Bellineer en tered the courtroom and took his seat. Tbere were several attorneys, and a few interested spectators present. "Are there any motions i" tha United States distric se heard ' this morning?' jced Judge Bellinger, in his usual prompt and business-like manner. United States . District Attorney Murpny rose and said: "This is tbe time, your honor, fixed for passing sentence on James Lotan and Seid Back." A short pause followed, and then Judge Bellinger said: "Mr. Lotan, stand up!" Mr. Lotan, who was sitting by the side of his attorney, Judge Raleigh Stott, arose. He was looking pale, but betrayed no unusual emotion. "Have you anything to say, Mr. Lo tan, why sentence should not be passed upon you at this time?" asked the judge. "No, sir," promptly responded the defendant, in a clear tone of voice. "Then it is the judgment of this court that you pay a fine of $8000. You may be seated." Mr. Lotan resumed his seat. Before Judge Bellinger could request Seid Back to rise to receive his sentence, Seid Back had risen and advanced to a point within a few yards of where Mr. Lotan was seated, and stood ready. "Have you anything to say why sen tence should not be pronounced against you at this time?" asked Judge Bellinger. "No, sir, your honor,'' replied Seid Back, without a perceptible quaver in his voice. "Then it is the judgment of this court that you pay a fine of $5000. You can be seated." A few minutes later both defendants walked out of the room. Mr. Lotan proceeded directly to the office of the clerk of the court, and handed Mr. Ed. D. McKee, clerk of the United States district court, a check for $8000. As that canceled the fine and appeased the vengeance of the law, Mr. Lotan walked forth a free man. ' As there was no imprisonment in cluded, in the sentence, there will be no appeal taken to the supreme court, and further litigation in the noted case ends. Seid Back did not have such an easy time in extricating himself from the clutch of the law. He was not able to liquidate his fine, and, was accordingly placed in the custody of the court. He was allowed to go out in charge of a deputy United States marshal, and is endeavoring to raise the amount of his fine. Seid Back ha9 considerable property, but it is claimed that, owing to tbe depression in tbe real estate market, that some difficulty may be experienced in. realizing the amount of the fine, either by sale or mortgage. In case of failure to raise the amount of the fine, there is no alternative but to go to jail. Land Patents.

Last evening a new Court of the Ancient Order of Forresters of Ameri ca was instituted in tbe old Odd Fel lows hall by Samuel Kafka, Grand Secretary of the Grand Court of Ore gon. Tbe charter 11st contains the names of some of the best business men of The Dalles. The following gentle men were duly elected and installed as officers of the Court to serve for the term ending December 31, 1895: F. W. L. Skibbe, Junior Past Chief Ranger; W. D. Garretson, Chief Ran- fer; Chas. Frazer, Sub-Chief Ranger; '. W. L. Skibbe, Treasurer; A. B. Es tebennent, Senior Woodward; George Munger, Jr. Woodward; M. J. Man ning, Senior Beadle: Chas. E. Sandz, Junior Beadle; Dr. O. C. Hollister, Physician. j A Famous Hotel. Thirty-two years ago today, Col. Sinnott took charge of the Umatilla House which he has owned and man aged ever since that time. The Col. came down from the mines and stop ping at the old hotel, complained to the proprietor, Mr. Newman, that the bed-bugs had driven him out of his room and that he hud taken his blankets and slept in the hall to get away from them. Mr. Newman listened patieatly to the tale of woe, and when it was concluded remarked "if you think you can run this house any better than I am doing you had better take it." "All right" said the Colonel "what are your terms?" An offer being made that the Colonel thought reasonable, he accepted it and although he had but $40, he closed the bargain and took possession. In company with his brother he had a year or two before managed the old Columbia hotel at Portland, but which had been closed on account of the property becoming too valuable to be used for the pur pose, and other buildings being about to be erected on it. The Colonel still owned the furniture and had it shipped up, taking the lute Major Haudley into partnership with him. The hotel under the new management soon took the lead and became the headquarters for the merchants and miners who in those days comprised the traveling public. Slay 21, 1879, while a new building was being constructed and when nearly completed the buildings both old and new were destroyed by fire, and nearly everything the firm owned was destroyed. The embers had hardly cooled however, before the plans for the present building were being prepared, and the wreck being cleared away for the present building. Today it is tiie best known hotel in the state, and could it speak what a history of the northwest it could give. Beneath its hospitable roof, many a man who now boasts a long bank ac count found shelter when wealth was yet but a hope. At its table many a hungry man has fed whose pockets were empty, and whose ability to pay was measured only by promises. In side of its doors the immortal Grant found shelter while yet a lieutenant and years after when he had twice been honored with the highest position within the gift of the people, he stood within its portal to grasp the hands of our citizens who gathered to welcome him. There President Hayes, and later, President Harrison were greeted by our people, and there the immortal Baker's voice was heard. Dr. Mc Laughlin, Nesmith, Delazon Smith, Oregons pioneers, and Oregons bright est intellects, were its frequent guests. Today it is still almost like home to most of our people. A few years aero, death severed the partnership that had existed for a quarter of a century and took the generous and tender-hearted Major Handley. Since that time Mr. J. S. Fish has became a partner in the business, adding to tbe prestige of the hotel by his genial disposition aud excellent management, but the Colonel is still in tne narness, an active, vig orous man, despite bis silvering bairs, and one who after 32 years of active business, in which he has met almost every man in the northwest, commands the respect and friendship of all who know him. May Fate and Time deal kindly with him, and may he retain his health to celebrate the golden an niversary in 1913, and may we be there to write it up. t A New Fruit Drier. Messrs. Meins & Koontz have a fruit- drying establishment in good running order, and are prepared to handle from three to six tons of green fruit a day. the amount depending on the kind and condition of the fruit. A Times Mountaineer reporter visited the plant tuesday, but at the time it was not running except as an experi ment on a small lot of plums. The drier was started last Thursday, its first run being on a lot of green gages for Mr. Stadelman which dried nicely and yielded well. A small quantity of petite prunes nave also been dried and look "good enough to eat," in their boxes. The plums do not dry well, being too watery, and too easily burned. The prune season has but fairly commenced, and it is expected the drier will be kept running to its fullest capacity from now until the close of the season. Instead of using the lye bath to crack the skins, as has been the practice heretofore, an Acme perfecter and grader is used. This is a machine of recent invention, that has caught all the California fruit men, and is pronounced perfect. Its feat ures are an inclined table made with beveled slats running lengthwise of the table and set about an inch apart, between them is another small slat which has a slight oscillating- move ment, and is armed with small sharp points about the size of a pin, and a fourth of an inch long. As the fruit travels down over these the skin is punctured in dozens of places, and as tbey drop off tbe end of the table they run over a grader which sorts them and delivers them on the trays below. Rooms are also provided for treating the fruit with sulphur if it is desired. The drier is Mr. Meins' invention, and is built on the principle of the Ferris wheel, each cage being provided with a double tier of shelves, and the wheel being enclosed in a tight room over the furnace, the revolving wheel brings each tray in. turn to the bottom and nearest the heat, insuring an equal amount of heat to every portion of the fruit. The drier is located on the block south of the Mays stone resi dence and will well repay a visit by those who are curious to know how some things are done, especially when they are done to a turn as is the case with the fruit that goes into the Meins & Koontz drier. The Fall Meeting:. Tnat the fair next month will be 1 every way ahead of anv previous meeting is an assured fact. Our farm ers are taking an interest in the mat ter and inquiries for catalogues are made daily. These can be procured either of the secretary, J. O. Mack, or at this office. The fruit exhibit prom ises to be the finest ever seen here. and as the Hood River apple and other fruits will be here numerously, it be hooves our fruit growers to get a move on if they want to get inside the dis tance pole. The exhibit being made down town instead of at the grounds will prove a great convenience, and will undoubtedly largely increase the number of visitors. Weak,Irritable,Tired "I Was No Good on Earth." Dr. Miles' Nervine strengthens the weak, builds up the broken down constitution, and permanently cures every kind of nervous disease. "About one year ago I was afflicted citn nervousness, sleeplessness. Vreeptna sensation in my legs, Slight palpitation of my Heart, Distracting confusion ofthemind, Serious loss or lapse of memory.

Dr. Miles' Nervine Restores Health BY CONSTANT SPRAYING . The Waybill WhlchEzra Meeker's Hops Escaped the "Ccrse." Ezra Meeker, of Puyallup, one of the largest hopgrowers in the state of Washington, has answtrHl the minis ters of the Puget sound conference, who thanked God for the destruction of the hop crop. In a letter to the Post-Intelligencer, Mr. Meeker said: "In this morning's report of the Methodist conference I notice under the heading lA Curse on the Hop Crop' that Preacher Hanson, of Puy allup, reported he 'had some good news from that great hop country the hop crop, the main support of the people, was a failure: the crop had been 'cursed by God.' Whereupon Bishop Bowjnan said 'Good,' and from all over the room voices could be heard giving utterance to the fer vent ejaculation, 'thank God.' "For the edification of the reverend fathers and fervent brethren I wish to publish to them and to the world that I have beat God, for I have 500 acres of hops at Puyallup and Kent that are free from lice, the 'curse of God,' and that I believe it was the work of an emulsion of whale oil soap and quassia sprayed on the vines that thwarted God's purpose to 'curse' me and others who exterminated the lice. 'One is almost ready to ask if this indeed is the nineteenth century of enlightenment, to hear such utter ances gravely made by men supposed to be expounders of that great re ligion of love as promulgated by the great teacher. "I want to recall to the memory of the Rev. Mr. Hanson that the church in which he has been preaching for a year past was built in great part by money contributed from gains of this business 'cursed oy God.' For myself I can inform him that as a citizen of Puyallup I contributed $400 to buy the ground upon which that church edifice is built, every cent of which came from this same hop business 'cursed by God.' For myself I would 'thank God' if they would return the money and thus ease their guilty consciences." Valkyrie and Defender. The race between the Valkyrie and Defender took place at New York to day. The winds were light and varia ble, the breeze at no time exceeding 8 miles an hour and dropping at times to 4 miles. These conditions are sup posed to be most favorable to the Valkyrie her sailing qualities in light winds being said to be her strongest point. At 3:40 this afternoon the Defender turned the stake boat, fol lowed by the Valkyrie 3 minutes later. A dispatch dated at 4:11 says: "The boats have 15 miles to run, and must make it in 2 hours and 42 minutes to be within the time limited." Accord ing to the time made in the race up to that time, it is doubtful if this can be done. A dispatch received at 3:20 an nounced that the Defender had crossed the line at 5:20 winning the race, the Valkyrie crossed 8 minutes later. Waterspout Near Ritter. The Long Creek Eagle says: Last Saturday afternoon a waterspout oc curred on Six Mile creek, below Rit ter, doing considerable damage to the residence of J. T. McLaughlin.

It is stated that water was about fifteen feet deep in Six Mile creek. Much fencing was washed away. Judge Hurley Dead, Judge Hartwell Hurley, of the state circuit court department No. 2 at Port land, died last Saturday at noon, ms death had been expected for some time as he has been gradually sinking under an attack of typhoid fever. He was appointed to the bench by Gov ernor Pennoyer, and was re-nominated for the omce in 18H4 by the Kepubli- cans, both the Democrats and Popu lists indorsing his nomination. The funeral took place jfrom the Taylor street Methodist church at Portland Tuesday afternoon. In his death the bench loses an honest and faithful judge, and the bar one of its brighte st lights.

'"A RESCUE THAT COST A LIFE. Be Saved the Tonus; Lady, but Slipped and Was Dashed to Pieces. I witnessed a most heroic incident many years ago. In 1863 two ladies and two gentlemen went over the Susquehanna river, opposite a small town in Pennsylvania, to a place call ed Peter Steps. To get to Peter Steps, which is on a bluff 150 feet high, you had to go by a back road. On top of the steps were two tall pine trees, eight feet apart, and to tie a rope to the trees and swing out over the bluff was the object of the party. After the gentlemen had been swing ing some time one of the ladies want ed to swing. Annie, a beautiful girl, got in the swing, and after a short time she exclaimed : "Give me a good push. I want to go out so I can see the road below." We did so, when snap went tbe rope, and with a terri ble scream Annie went crashing down on the rocks. Almost scared to death we ran to the road below. We could not see Annie, but on looking up there she was. Her clothes had caught on small scrub oak tree, and she was hanging between heaven and earth, By this time a crowd had gathered on the road below. Everybody was excited and was wondering how to get her from her perilous position. Just at this time Harry Saylor came running up the road. Seeing what was wrong, he went up the back road to the pine trees, and catching tha rope that was used for the swing de scended. But, alas, the rope was too short He did not wait for a longer one, but inch by inch he picked his way to the oak tree, and by the greatest .exer tion he managed to get her to the base of the tree. Once there even he dared not leave go of Annie or the tree. In the mean time a longer rope was procured, and tying it around Annie s waist she was landed sateiy above. Not so with Harry. When near the top. he slipped. Down he went, landing on the rocks below, bruised and bleeding mass. Gently and tenderly was he taken home, but his work on earth was done. On the stone that stands at the head of his grave are these words, "Sacred to the memory of a man who bravely gave his life for another." Cor. New York Press. A Glimpse of New England Life. Apropos of character sketching are the following little bits of New Eng land life Been on a train the other day. A couple of middle aged coun try women entered the car at a way station. One, dressed in seamworn black and carrying a bright yellow pumpkin took the inside seat, and her companion, settling herself on the extreme edge of the remaining half, arranged various bundles comforta bly around her. Presently they en tered into conversation. "Hev you seen Mis' Brown lately?" inquired she of the bundles. "Why, hevn't you heard?" returned the owner of the numpkin. Her voice sounded aggrieved . ' 'Mis' Brown an I don't speak jest now, she went on. "It happened like this, Twas at the last sewing circle. We were sittin side by side out to supper, an when the biscuits come along broke mine open an says I to her, 'Well. I must say I've eat better bis cuits 'n these. Ain't they spotted? Well, them were Mis' Brown's biscuit an since then she. and me am spoke." "You don't say," commented her companion.

A Harvard student told me an amna big story about himself rh It seems that recently his mother had m young lady guest at their home on the Back Bay, and when he came from col lege in the afternoon he was introduced to her. At dinner also she sat opposite him at the table. He paid little atten tion to the fair visitor, as his mind was engrossed with a problem in his lessons. However, his brothers were as assiduous as possible in entert ining her. As happened, the latter had engagements out that evening, and, as Mrs. A. had promised Miss B. to have one of her sons take her to the theater, it fell to the lot of my friend George, the Harvard man, He accepted the situation gracefully, and in due time the young couple set off for the theatre. Arriving, George left his companion at one side of the lobby while he stepped up to the box office and purchased the tickets; then, turning about, he looked toward the place where he had parted from the yonng lady, and was surprised to see half a dozen there, and ye gods) is it possible? he could not tell which was his precious charge! Here was a dilemma. George said he immediately- decided that, rather than risk speaking to the wrong person, he would stand still till the yonng lady spoke to him. So ho gazed at his tickets for what seemed to him an age, but was. probably only minute, when Miss B. came up and said, "I fear you did not recognize me." "Oh; yes yes " stammered George, eqnivo- eating "yes, I did; I thought they had not given me the seats I asked for, and was considering what was beet to do in the matter. Boston Herald. Value of the AtmoapAere. Careful experiments have shown that the rate per second at which bodies acquire velocity in falling through the air is 32 feet per second at the end of the first second from starting. At the end of the next second it is going at the rate of 64 feet per second, and so on through the whole time of falling. Where the velocity is known the space through which the body has fallen may be ascertained by multiplying the velocity at that period by the number of seconds during which it has been falling and dividing the result by two. This rule applies, however, only to bodies falling through a vacuum. The resistance of our atmosphere materially retards raindrops, hail stones, aerolites and all other bodies which fall through it, and were it not for the resistance it presents every rainstorm would be disastrous to the human race, as each drop would fall with a velocity great enough to pene trate the full length of a full grown man's body. London Nature. ShuEespeara'a Eyebrow. Miss Sarah W. Gillette of Evans- ton, Ills., rejoices in the possession of what she believes to be Shakespeare's eyebrow. - Miss G.'s father, the late Dr. H. C Gillette, bought the relic from R. G. Oaks of England. In 1851 Oaks was deputed to carve an olive wreath to encircle a bust of Shakespeare. At that time the Duke of Devonshire owned the Eesselstadt death mask of Shakespeare. This death mask had been discov ered in a pawnbroker's shop in K ea sels tad t and pronounced to be a Shakespearean mask. Oaks was permi tted to use the mask in making the laurel wreath. He says: "In njy examination for the pores in the plaster, to decide wheth er the cast was original or not, 1 found two hairs of the eyebrow stick ing in the cast I extracted one en tire ; the other broke. These are the fragments that are in possession of the Evanston lady. Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. AN EXAMPLE OF IMPUDENCE. In ThU Tale a Vice la Carried to tbe Apei of the Sublime. She was a very sweet, gracious old lady ; her manners were ful of dig nity; when she conversed with a young man it was a distinction for him; when she conversed with a girl it was an honor for that girl. When I first knew that old lady, she lived in a large house and kept a car riage ; she gave rather stately dinner parties; she had rather formal re ceptions; she was the queen of the quarter where she lived. Everybody respected her, and all those who had the privilege of her friendship loved her. Suddenly she let her great house and gardens and removed into quite a small villa, with a little garden; also she gave up her car riage and limited her household to one servant. And she gave no more parties. It was understood that this dear old lady had lost her fortune. But nobodv knew the facts, nor could anybody ask. She retired to this lit tle villa -and continued to have re ceptions, at which tea and home made cake were the only luxuries offered. Also, there arrived at t'C juncture a niece, of whose existence no one had previously been aware. She was not nice, this lady; it is no fault to be no longer young or good looking, but one ought at least to be well bred and good tempered. Now, after a year or two, during which the bitter tongue and the bad temper of the niece caused continual misery to the old lady, there came a time of sickness. It was the plague of influenza. Many of us in the quarter had it very badly, among others the old lady's niece. For the old lady's sake, not from any love of our own, we were shocked to learn that the niece was dead. A month or two afterward the old lady told me a story. She said "You know that I lost all my money. It was lost for me. It was my man of business who stole it He forged a power of attorney and sold my stocks ; he gambled with the proceeds and lost the whole. When there was no more, he confessed the rob bery. But, he said, to prove the es teem in which he held me, lie had brought his only child with him, and he would leave her with me until better days. So he kissed my hand and left me, and. that she ex plained, "is the reason why I had to leave my dear old house and to receive this poor creature whose un fortunate manners and bitter tongue made me miserable all day long. I have often thought" Here she stopped, and thinking of that sub lime and uneqmiled impudence too. have often thought. New York Recorder.
