IN THE EAST.
Continuation of the Story of What P.
Coffin Saw With Ono Eyo.
M.
coxtinum from last wkek.j
Editou Oiikoon Scout:
The next morning wo were some
what surprised by hearing the band
discoursing a fine national air, rislit
under our window. "What can the
matter be," I exclaimed, but supposed
that the baud had learned that my
sister had arrived from the extreme
East, and that I was from "the sun
down seas," also it being my birthday,
and that being an important event in
tho city of Cincinnati, they were giv
ing us a benefit. In this, however, I
was mistaken. It w.13 Labor Day.
Mayor Malone, of Cincinnati, and
Representative Green, of Cleveland, 0.,
were leading the van of tho procession
which consisted of nearly SOOO citizens.
Representative Green was one of tho
prime movers of the bill, and very en
thusiastic in having it properly ob
served as ono of tho national holidays.
Tho next day Mrs. C. returned to
Kentucky to meet her neiecs from
Louisville. My sister and I employed
our time by taking the cable and
motor lines, and seeing tho sights of
tho city. The motor line was a novel
ty to me, being the first I had ever
seen. I was pretty much of the opin
ion of the astonished Chinaman who,
on seeing one for tho first time, gave
expression to his wonderment in the
following terse language: "No pushee,
no pulle, golikee helleo alio samee."
Ono of the peculiar features of the
citizens seems to bo the vast amount
of eye afi'ections, and judging from
appearances aro decidedly a spectacle
on this point. Another feature is the
great number of her colored gentry.
If an American could forget that he
lives "in the land of the free and tho
home of the brave," and should sud
denly go into Cincinnati, he would
conclude he he had been carried over
to the "dark continent" and set down
ou the shores of Serre Leone. I do
not wonder at the dark population of
this city, as the negro long since, ere
the first gun of the great rebellion was
the signal that a fratricidal war, was
abroad in the land, learned that Cin
cinnati was the objective point, from
f which to start on an even race for his
1 freedom, and to this he often passed
within her poles through subteranean
passages known only to a favored few.
We next visited Walnut Hill, where
the great nabobs of the city dwell in
stately halls, from and to which they
xido in the palatial coaches of Cincin
nati's cable and motor lines.
The next day, under the escort of
Zcbulon IX Collin, a distant relative,
.and a member of tho largo grocery
firm of Zebulon B. Coflin it Co., we
visited ttie great public fountain,
known no the Davidson fountain, and
by him donated to the city. The walls
are built of rich Italian marble. In
the center of tho fountain is a large
Lronze 'figure of the goddess Undine,
t from whoso hands are pouring several
streams, furnishing water sparkling
and bright to those who are athirst
and come to partake of her lavish off
erings, Under ouch of these streams is a
superscription, such as "Agriculture,"
"Commerce," "Arts," "Science," etc.,
indicating that theeo stops in the scale
of civilize. 1 advancement are as free to

Tho electric lights of Cincinnati as

After a:i hour's pleasant time spent in

bid us adieu, taking the 2:15 train for
their southern home.. Having com

we boarded the (5 p. m. sleeper for

THE COVE.

sion Srhool Farm Hotos.
Oct. 22, 1S90.
Tho roads aro in a splendid condi
tion, as clean anc smooth as a floor.
Mr. George Banner and family, resi
dents of Cove for several years have
moved to Portland .
Mr. Jas. Ilendershott and daughter
Mollic left on Tuesday's flyer for Port
land. Miss Mollie expects to attend
a business college this winter.
Miss Mattie Fisher sister of Harvey
and Hiram Fisher is visiting her broth
ers and other Cove friends. The young
ladies home is in Douglas county.
Mr. John Shoemaker has moved to
near Anatone on the Snake river.
John has taken a claim and will grow
up with the country which is a good
and fertile one.
Messrs. Wilson & Chandler's thresher
has been housed for tho season. They
had a run of thirty-six days and
threshed 37500 bushels of grain.
Mr. Lafo Keller has moved with
his family to the Bloom saw mill near
Elgin. Lafo is the proud manipulator
and is one of the most necessary men
attached to the mill.
Dunham Wright's wheat land near
Geer's nursery produced the champion
crop this year. Of Sonora Club it
yielded 05 bushels to the acre and tho
grain is pronounced by exports to be
of the very best quality.
Bishop Morris of Portland is in tow.
looking after the interests of Ascension
school. He expects to open the school
boon with two very lino lady teachers
in charge, ono a music teacher of mar
ked ability. Everyone should interest
themselves, and do what they can for
the school, as it will surely prove of
inestimable benefit to tho place. It
will also be an advantage to the pations
of tho public school for it will prevent
the crowding of last winter by some
what dividing the number of scholars.
If you want your girls to receive a
liberal and useful education with many
accomplishments, proparo to send them
to Cove.
Littlo accidents will happen some
times. Ono day this week a society

An Interesting Lattsr from Our Regular
Correspondent at tho Capital.
Washington, (IXC.) Oct. 12, 1S00.
Editor Okkuox Scout:
"Uncle Jerry" ltuk is again in com
mand at the Agricultural Department,
to the groat delight of thoe of the
- j visitors at that department who are ou
i intimate oiiotih tonus -.vitli tlie jollier-t
secretary of the administration to lie
asked into his private loom, where
corn-cob pipes and it plentiful supply
of the best tobacco aro provided for his
friends, and they aro legion, including
all shadss of political belief and all
classes of society from the farm hand
to the millionaire, and no man ovt r
enjoyed being popular more than
"Uncle Jerry" does.
There are some very ugly stories be
ing told around Washington about a
cumuiiiuuuii io muiupuuue tne silver
market. Tho combination, according
to the stories, has its headquarters in
Wall Ptreet, and active branches in
the United States Senate and House
of Representatives, and in ono or two
big newspaper offices. Prominent sena
tors and representatives of both parties
and several influential editors aro men
tioned as having made large sums of
money through their connection with
tho combination. It may or may not
be true, but at any rate I shall give
tho gentlemen whose names aro ban
died around in this connection the
benefit of tho doubt, and not use them.
It is bad onough to bo compelled to
attack a man's integiity when you
have tho strongest proof of his wrong
doing, but it should never bo dono up
on mere unauthonticatcd rumors.
The new tariff law is making lots of
trouble for tho officials of tho treasury
uepartment, and m order to escape
some of it tho department has issued
an order making the decision of tho
collector of customs final as far as tho
treasury department is concerned in
tho interpretation of the new law. Tho
collectors, of course, are furnished
with full instructions and this order is
issued merely to prevent tho making
of an endless number of petty appeals
by the importers.
Tho French gentleman now known
as the Count of Paris, but who, should
the whirligig of French politics bring
the old Bourbon dynasty on top again
would be Louis XIX, King of Franco,
and who served with more or les
distinction on tho stafTof Gen. Mc
Clellan during a portion of tho lato
war, of which he afterwards wrote a
history, said to contain fewer material
errors than any yet published, paid
Washington a visit this week. He
was accompanied by a party of dis
tinguished Frenchmen, including his
son, tho Duke of Orleans, who
following the example of other illus
trious Frenchmen who havo held that
title, has recently spent some tinio in
a French prison, as the result of his
lack of judgment. The party received
many courtesies whilo hero from tho
Count's old military comrades. .They
are now making a tour of tho battle
fields of Virginia.
Secretary Windoni has requested
Secretary Blaino to officially notify
tho Canadian government of tho pto
visions of the new tariff law. The clause
to- which Mr. Windom is particularly
anxious to can uanaiia s attention is
that relating to tho lumber schedule
which reads as follows : "That in caso
any foreign country shall impose an
export duty upon pino, spruce, elm or
other logs exported to tho United
States fiom such country, then tho
duty upon tho sawed lumbor herein
provided for, when imported from
such country, shall remain as fixed by
the law in force prior to passage of
this act." Tho point mado by Secre
tary Windom is, that as Canada im
poses an export duty on t-pruco, pino
and cedar logs and shingles, and bolts
made of pino or cedar, sawed lumber
imported from that country is liable to
duties under tho old tariff. It is stated
peupiu who uuuui- uio sincerity oi ino
Mormons.
j It is hinted among tho knowing
I ones that Secretary Tracy has been
slated us the successor of Senator
Evarts should the republicans carry
the New York legislature. Senator
Evarts will, under no circumstances,
bo a candidal.
Gen. Mahono, of Virginia, who is
now hero, claims to be out of polities;
