HIE ORKGrON STATESMAN: ITIilDAY MAY 27, 1887. 3 W ANTED TO SEE HIM. "Soon after the first call for troops wus iaauud," Haiti Gun. K. B. Gray, at a meet ing of the G. A. It. pout, "a trminlier of one of the newly organized rt'Kimonts which had boon quartered tit WuHhington, was strolling about the city onn day when he stumbled into the navy yard. Hih curloHity wan vory much excited at what he saw there, he havinp been raised in an inland town. At last he came across one of those great anchors that are used in a man-of-war. One of the flukes was sticking in the ground, while the other stuck some 12 or 14 feet in the air, and the shank extended out to one Hide about 15 feet. The recruit was very much interested in this strange pince of machinery, lie examined it on all sides, tried to move it, and occasionally stared all round the yard, as if trying to connect it with Home other object. After a while tho vard uflicer cunie around and told him lie would have to leave the yards. "'Oh, hut Bosh darn it, I ain't ready to go yit,' said the recruit. " 'Can't help it, sir,' replied the officer, 'the yards close at ft o'clock and every body lias to get out then. " 'Hut I wan't to Btay here, and I'm not going out. My name is Peterson, and I belong to the 70th New York. ' " 'Makes no difference, you must get out. But what on earth do you want to hang around here for?' " 'Why, I've Inien waiting here for an hour to see the bloody Irishman that handles this gosli-dumed pick, and I'm going to stay here till he comes if 1 have to wait all summer.' " IT STOPPED THEIR BOOM, "Having a boom here?" asked a Btranger as lie put his hoad out of a car window at a Dakota station. "Naw !" replied a native. "That's strunge thought every place had one this spring." "They lie, mostly," and the man sighed and leaned up against the depot. "Thon why isn't this town having one?" "W'y, you Ke, Htranger, it was owin to a little mismamigeniont. We platted a big Brighton Beach Boulevard addition over on the lake j'iuiu' the town, and you know the hind there is just a little bit soft like. Well, the first spectator that come along the boys got too fast and took him down to it and he started to walk ofT across tie lots and I'm blamed if ho didn't Bticn there and we couldn't git to him to pull him out." "How long ago did it hapeu?" "'Bout two weeks." "He iniiHt he dead, then?" "Oh, yes, 1 recken he's dead all eniniL'h, but before he.sunk out o' rigid sight he hollered to other buyers that we took down and warned them 'limit the place and somehow capitalists kindi.r got prej udiced ag'in' our real estate and we haint havin no boom a-tall.

A college is very often a place where a young man, if lie studies hard, can, in two years, learn as much Latin as he can forget in nix months after he goes to work for a living.

When they had been ar raigned before court and when a heavy fine had been assessed, the judge, turning to Slippery Sam, the more intelligent, as well as the more successful combatant, said : "Sam, you are too old a man to engage in such a disgraceful affair."

He expects to be sawing lumber in about a week. Fall grain is looking line and the spring grain is very scarce indeed. There is scarcely any spring grain in this coun ty excent what is sown on high ground. Must of the fields on the prairie have had water standing in the furrows until the last week. This, what is called the "Tennessee Settlements," is situated about three miles north of Lebanon on the Santiara river : it is verv thickly settled. Most of the farms are small. Quite a number of the families came from Tennessee. Most of them are engaged in raising hops. A few duvs' sunshine cheers the hearts of the farmers. They are all very busy. Some ol them have not so much as got their early garden planted, and are so be hind with their work that thev have to make use of every sunshine hour. We notice even a few of thorn working on Sunday.

Farmers in this neighborhood have been damaged in different ways, some by having their fences thrown down, others by having their hogs badly misused by dbgs. Farmers have all their spring grain in the ground. They have been behind their usual time on account of the snow and rain. Fall grain looks well, consider ing the bad weather we had. We are to have our road changed from the southwest corner of Mr. Siegmund's place. I t will go south of Mulkey creek instead of running north, and by the management of a farmer like Mr. Sieg mund, who has the most grain to haul olf, we -expect to get a good road.

"Truth is stranger than fiction," and if all the romances of real life were pub lished with artistic embellishment they would, doubtless, consign nearly every novel to the shelf. Little fragments here and there make life histories, few only of whichever crop out to the surface. There are "skeletons in cloHets," broken households, unknown graves, and ever so many sad things in life tli at have their turning point on some little social pivot invisible to the outer world. One of these sad episodss of life has lately come to light in the case of an old farmer who knew the ways of his farm, but was unsophisticated in the ways of the world. He owned a comfortable farm up in Columbia county, New York, and, that the particulars may be more fully given, he will be known as Abijah Bronx. His good old wife had died after their two daughters had married and moved away ; so after the old lady's death the place was lonely indeed. There were good, sensible women in his neighborhood who would gladly have married him, and would have been adapted to farm life, and any one of whom would make him a good, suitable wife, but the vain, foolish old man got the notion in his head that he would hunt a plump, attractive city girl for a wife, and not marry any of the common country girls or widows in his neighborhood. He resolved to have a wife that could outshine anybody at church, and could play the piano and talk poetry, and be the envy of that locality; so the foolish old man acted just like a foolish young boy. He put a matrimonial advertisement in a New York literary paper to catch, as he thought, a cultivated literary girl ; and in due time a solitary answer arrived, which the old man read with the deepest interest. It was a line specimen of pen manship and a very cleverlv written let ter, and made the plain, awkward, good honest country missives, which the old man had at times received from the wo men of his neighborhood, appear more awkward still by comparison. Two days afterward the old man. dressed in his best, stood in the streets of New lork inquiring his Way to No. Avenue B. To a New-Yorker this would not have been the most desirable location to select a wife from, but the old farmer naturally thought, as B was the second letter in the alphabet, this location must be a long ways ahead of Fifth avenue, and the only sensible thing he did was to keep his business to himself when he met the nice young man from the adjoin ing county, who said, as he warmly grasped his hand : "Why, Uncle Abijah, don't you re member me? Don't you remember '. used to call vou ' Uncle' when 1 was a little boy?" That hit the old gentleman squarely, for he was popularly called Uncle by the little folks, and he could actually rec ognize the young man. "Why, Tommy, how you have grown," said the old man, rejoiced to meet some one who knew him, and of course they started off to see the sights, and old Mr. Bronx postponed his Avenue B visit till nietit. hen night came he had unlor- tunately speculated during the day, and had but fifty cents left. He was too smart to lose any money in the dives of New York, but Tommy took him into Wall street and gave him some points on Erie, on which the old gentleman put up all his money as a margin in the hands of a prominent broker whom Tommy in troduced in front of the fetock Exchange, How proud the old man felt to think he was speculating in Wall street, and how he would bran to his old neighbors, when he returned home, of the money he had made, as tommy had whispered m his ear that Erie was going out of sight. The broker had already gone out of sight, and as they w ere taking lunch together Tommy looked at the indicator, and, with a troubled air, remarked that Erie had stopped going up. Said he: ' I'll run up stairs, Uncle Abijah, and ask Mr. Hatch it be thinks it best for you to sell immediately, for you know that one thousand dollars profit is better than nothing." Tommy went up stairs, and Uncle Abi jah tmiKlied his meal in silence, lie waited a long time lor lommy. in lact, Tommy never came back, and the old man lost faith in him ; he also lost faith in the broker, who held the margin on Erie, for he never saw either of them again. Thank heaven, he had not lost faith in his girl, and after supper he took a car for Avenue fi, and found her waiting for him in the front parlor, one flight up stairs. 'Is this Miss Ilattie Kyan?" he in quired, as he took her hand. "It is. Are vou Mr. Bronx?" "Yes." "I thought," said she, " that yon had disappointed me. I have waited for vou all dii'y." "All, yes, I intended coining this morn ing, but! was investing some money in stocks, winch detained me. In lact, 1 in vested more than I anticipated, so that I am unfortunately left with but a few pen nies in my pocket." "Never mind that," said she, candidly, "if we make a bargain 111 collect some rent from the tenants to pay our fare home: we own the house, vou know. No, of course he never knew that be fore ; such a piece of property as that was worth snapping up at once, and, though miss Lyon was not so voung or so hand some as lie anticipated, his empty pocket bellied to outweigh all objections, and as sue seemed lavoraoie to an lmmeuiate marriage, they settled the matter at once and bv midnight she was Mrs. Abijah Bronx. As good as her word, she had the tick ets ready the next morning lor the trip to the Bronx farm, and they lelt so quickly that Uncle Abijah bad barely time to see her widowed mother and two srreat overgrown brothers. In a few days Mrs. Bronx got a letter from home, and she told Uncle Abijah that her mother bad offered to deed her the home place if he would deed the farm toher. V e most all know what a man will do during honeymoen, and in less than a week the larm was deeded to M rs Bronx. The remainder of the storv is soon told ; in two weeks more the Kyan family moved to the Bronx farm to live on un cle Abijah. He did not like it, of course, dut what did his mother-in-law care ; the farm was her daughter's. Every week the brothers got on a spree, but they did not care for "old Bronx," as they called him, their sister owned the place. Poor Uncle Abijah never even asked a word about the New York property, for he knew that the old rubbish the Kyans brought with them was all the property they owned. ADVICE TO MOTHERS.

About twenty years ago I discovered a little sore on my cheek, and the doctors pronounced It cancer. I have tried a number of physicians, but without receiving any permanent benefit. Among the number were one or two specialists. The medicine they applied was like fire to the sore, causing Intense pain. I saw a statement in the paper telling what S. S. S. had done for others similarly afflicted. I procured some at once, fief ore I had used the second bottle the neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing up. My general health had been bad for two or three years I had a hacking cough and spit blood continually. I bad a severe pain in my breast. After taking six bottles of S. S. S. my cough left me and I grew stouter than I had been for several years. My cancer has healed over all but a little spot about the size of a half dime, and It is rapidly disappear ing.
