ii V THE OHKGON STATESMAN: FRIDAY, JUNK 16 1887. In TOPICS OF THE TIMES. Rkmovr IIio awninga ami hanging ni(! frfim the HtreetH o( Naluin, ami they mill look better ami mure tnctropolit.in, not ho much like a villas trailing pott. Thk Drain, P-iuglas county, "Kelio," claim t.'itit thai town is biiginnmt! to en joy a buiiui. This will be tins report from all Hie town in western Oregon next y, .ir. Tin? xviplc of Salem a'-e. not unenter prising. They uro alive to their future. They will encourage mamibictming en terprises, whenever they have tho oppor tunity. We are on the right Trad to a city of twenty thousand people. Tub past school year has been the most, successful one in the histoiy of the Wil lamette univemity, of Salem. Thin school is growing in popularity, and will no douht next year have even a larger at tendance, than during the past, year. Sa lem should he proud of her schools. Now that Salem will tie in a position to take rate of all the fruit of this tun.. ion, and that this is also becoming the wheat market of Oregon, let uh next see what we ran do towaid taking care of the wool kniwd all abound us. The estnhlish inent of a woolen mill would Kettle thin question. A I'kn'di.kton man ban received a letter f-om the Kant stating that his brother in law had been defeated for the office of constable by a negro named Pat Jones. This is the most important item of news the KaHt Orcgonian has had the Measure of publishing for a long time. KaHt Or ogoniari. Hkiik is another victim of the grinding monopolies. Hill Johnson, a Htu'je robber now languishing in an Idaho jail, gives vent to his despondency as fallows : "Stage after stage has been held tip wit h out ge tin 1! a nickel, and it seems as though all the money in the country was in the band of toe hankers, tho railroad managera, or the express companies." Tim coffee crop is reported to lui a p.ir tial failure in I'.ran'l, in Java and in Uey lon, and cod'ee drinkers will no doutrt be eonielled for Home tune to pay dearly for tlieir beverage to whet their whistles. It is Haul that the coll'ee drinkers of this country will pay many million dollars more for their beverage this year thr 1 last year. Fitrrr laiiil is selling from $1000 to $ U0 ) (air acre in different sections of Cal ifornia. As many bushels of apples, plums, jiears, prunes, eherrieB and other like fruit can he raised on an acre of land in the Willamette valley as on any land in California, and it is of a lietter quality here, and crops nevir fu:l here. The lesson in a very simple and plain one. Ah as evidence that business ib im proving in Salem, the fact is cited that the Statesman iH full and running over with advertisements. This is a very fair barometer of the status of business. e Bpite the e Hurts, and predictions of its enemies, the Statesman was never ho prosorotm before, Its subscription bsts are booming. Tiikuk ate now ten thousand Chinese in Mew York city, aud the Mongolian population of the great city is increasing rapidly. This is a practical solution of the question. Ttie etfete East will get enough of the pig-tuils for all practical and philanthropic purposes very soon. The New York VNorld Hays there are only about I .icily wives of all these ten tliousa d iii'joii-eved Mongols in the great city. Ir is Haid that Queen Kapiohmi was an enthiiHiastic Htudent of the English lan guage till she met Senator William M. EvartH. She gave up all hope of ever mastering it when he acknow ledged an introduction in a quarter-co'iimn sentence in which elongated wordB clamriered and enterlaced like ivy around an old mill. Oneen Kai'iolani shouldn't give up BO easilv nobody but Senator Lvurts speaks Laigtish that way. The Sun Francisco Chronicle warns miners and others interested in unpat ented mining claims along the lines of the Central l'acific. Southern Pacific, and California A Oregon, or within the land grunts nf these roads, will do well to keep an eye upon the lands which the managers "of these roads are now " list ing," preparatory to asking patents there for. A large proportion of the lands so listed is in "the mineral reservation." Mayok Hewitt, of New York, does not proMje to allow himself to be made use of as an advertising medium. Last week lie informed a nianuiactu"-er who wanted him to appoint a committee to distribute a certain sum unions charitable institu tions as an advertising scheme, that he would not in his official capacity counten ance unv such project. If the manufac turer wanted to give utiohtentatiously and not as un advertisement he would see that the money was procrly applied. Kam-.m is waking up to the realization of the fact that the way to build up a citv iH to build it to encourage the es tablishment of enterprises that will bring people here and give them work, that will disburse and distribute money here, which will be spent and added to the sum of our advancement and prosperity. We can't build a large city without peo ple, and the people cannot live here on wind, nor on our glorious climate. They must have something to do. That's what we must furnish them as fast as ever we can, and the boom that is now gathering will not slow up or stop. The bicvc.le races alone on the Fourth of July iu' Salem will be worth coming many miles too witness. The parade, also, will Ik a feature that, will be intei estinif and imoosing. The fireworks at night will he an attraction. The ti-e-men'B raecB will intuit the attention ol all w ho take an interest in the noble work of the brave boys who are ever read v to risk life and limb to save pinper ly. "Tim exercises at the grove will d- serve the interested presence of ul' who c like to bear good speaking, reading and vocal and instiumentat music. Boston has some respect for p'ya'ic. t but the common eople area little ii.rn.-n' it now as the amount of the bills i n .ne reception to her dusky majesty iii-gm to leak out. The committee of .ighi ..b stantiul Jiostoncse, who went down lo Washington to invito Kapiolani to come to the Hub, were gone tb-ee days, and they absorbed between eight and nine hundred standard dollars lor the ex penses of the trip. The bill rendered to the mavor for flowers was $4,r(H. The hotel bill of the regal party at the Parker house wan $2,800. Only one hundred guests wre admitted to the banquet at. Mechanics' hall but the liquor bills show that tw hundred gallons of intoxicating hevorsges were consumed by the notables that got cards. Two gallons is tpiite a load to carry even for a resilient of Leacon bill or the P.lack bay. These were the big items of expense. There were other little expenses connected with the blowout Unit swell the total to 2"-OlK). A I.ITILK VAKIA'lloN. The story of the old woman with the quilt which contains ten thousand pieces, more or less, or tho grandmother of eighty who can "work all around her weakly daughter-in-law and carry a rail," or the well preserved and energetic dame of seventy-five who can cook three meals a day for a crew of hat vest hands and milk six cows morning mid evening, is Varied at lust by the sh.ry of a "smart old man." Strar ;e to s iv, he lives in Marion county, and not in Yamhill county. It is related that on last Friday iiiorniug, at 8 o'clock, ho took his ax, laul and wedge, went o the timber, ,.iade 'J1D rails (goo 1 ones, too) and re turned home at 4. p. in. 1 lis muscles still clamoring for exercise, he tixik bis hoe, hoed one-half acre water melons, walked to town, a distance of two miles, got bis mail, toen returned home, not feeling the leat bit exerted. He weighs 124 pounds, and is only seventy-two years of' age. And the Htory is vouched for by the Statesman and is supplemented by the remark that is given "for the benefit of tl'C young men who were born t ired and no reformation has taken place." The old man, spry and capable as he is, does not wish to bite out, and to pro tect him from a multitude of applica tions fanners who wish to eschew new fangled machinery and cut their grain w ith a sickle and thresh it with a flail, we withhold his name. Besides, being a man, he i diffident and of course does not want his extraordinary gifts heralded to the world. Evening Telegram, Port land. The name of this hearty old man is P.enjamin Yatighan ; his address is Tur ner, Oregon. KOMK MlilllCAL yi'KSTIONS. The American Medical Association is holding its annual convention at Chicago, and no douht a great variety of interest ing questions wil1 be discussed. No science, except perhaps the law, has de veloped ho vast a literatne as that of medicine,and if we are to trust the decla ration of t ome very eminent professors of it, no other has made so little satisfactory progress. The charms of the unknown and the unknowable are ever before the devotees of this most noble of all profes sions, for while there seems to Vie only tine way of being well, there is an incred ible variety of ways of being ill. These afford a ncope for investiuation and dis cussion which is not found anywhere else, and the doctors are not slow to lake ad vantage of it. There are some subjects, however, which a'-e rarely touched upoa. The pub lic has always been curious to know bow far medical etiquette transcends the pub lic good, and whether a patient's life is of more or less value than a principle in medical ethics. This ouht to be tinal'v settled by the national convention. It would also lie interesting to know wheth er it is not BR much the duty of physicians to hunt down iniltv memlie'-s of their profession as it is to bar out those who have not reached a certain degree of per fection in text-book knowledge. It would be g'atiiying, too, for the association to decide now iar the state mav extend to a trade union of dociors a power of au mitiing men to and expelling tiiem from business w hich has no counterpart in any other occupation. These matters would do for a la-ginning, and should be a mere incident in the excellent work which these conclaves u'e capable of accj'u- l'!is,'i'1:- Ull AMI HUM UK. A plivsiciiin noticing a ladv reading "Tw-elii.ii Night," said : "When Khnke Hpere w rote ab iut ' Patience on a monu ment,' did he mean doctor's patients?" "No," she replied promptly; " you don't find them on monuments, but under them." Tliat. was u vivid remark of un unmar ried lady living in Cambridge, w ho was being chaffed about her state of single blessedness. " It's no'hing to he ashamed of, being un old maid," said she to her tormentor ; "hut to he an old bachelor, like you, is a disgrace, in .Massachusetts." Somerville (Mass.) Journal. An old lady of our acquaintance, hav ing noticed and admired, as it turned out a small observatory on the newly built house of Mr. J l , insists that when she and her "old man" build their new house she is going to have "a purga tory on top, jiit.1, like Mr. 1 's,'' or "there shall he no bouse built." One morning Henry Compton, the fa mous ticor, and Douglas Jeriold, pro ceeded together to view the pictures in t he "eiullery of Illustration." On enter ing the ante room they found themselves opposite to a number of very long looking-glasses. Pausing bofore one of these, ('umptoii remarked toJerrold: "You've come here to admire works of art! Yery well, first feast your eves on the work of natuie," pointing to his own figure re- tlect ing in the glass, look at. it ; there s a picture for you 1" "Yes, ".said Jerrold, regarding it intently, "very line, very line, indeed !" Then turning to his friend : "Wants hanging, though." liAlhllOADINU IN MEXICO. "P.ut the railroads in maikable. 1 like the Mexico are rt way Mexicans take life. 1 don't believe we know how- to live here in lOurope. We go so fast and we work all the time. Now it took me a whole day to go about fifty miles." "I'y railroad?" "Yes, by railroads. We went very si ''v and took it easy, but we might have arrived at our destination a little earlier if the conductor hadn't bad a lot of gamecocks along and an engagement for a cock-tight at every statiou. It was in teresting, don't you know, but I don't think I'll go to Mexico again for some time." Miss Lois Abruuis, who has been at tending Hcliool here for the past, year, left yesterday morning for her home in Lincoln. WlU.AUiCTIK UMVEKsIIY.

Yv' tl EH E WOM EN A 1! E S. V P.BED. Before Fpending twenty-four hours in a Holland family it is plainly seen that here at least man is lord of all he surveys and that woman is a secondary cons: leratio.i- a poorsecond at that. Tic i'.r: thing- h served is that no Dutch j.-.-nlh man ' ...1 this word is used adviscdiv w'.e-n v lik ing on sidewalk w ill uiu.c out "i his a for a lady; the woman turns out into ;ie road invariably, and the danger and mn I diness of the street make no difference. The male biped keeps the pave always. The "place aux dames" under-tood and acted upon in all other civilized c.juntries cannot be translated into Dutch, there being no place for it here. The ladies are principally to blame for much that is rude and uneouth in gentle men's bshaviour; they regard a man as something terrible, and act as if believing that the masculine community go about like roaring lions. 1 hey seem atraidto look a man in the face or they might ob serve by the ear-extension that not all the stronger sex are carniverows. In accordance with the roaring lion idea ladies unescorted must not pass a club, and yet frequenters of clubs in the day time are principally raw youths of an ex ceedingly non-hirsute appearance, and it looks idiotic to see ladies go out of their way two or even three squares to avoid being gazed at by club habitues. In Ut recht, the ultra-aristocratic city of this land, where every other house covers a nobleman's family, these prim restrictions are carried to an even greater extent. The lovely boulevards are a pride to the city, and it is the fashion, w hen ladies take a promenade to drop into a confec tioner's to eat "taatjes" or drink chocol ate in the small, cosy rooms adjoining these shops. When a bevy of Holland's fair ones, intent upon sweetmeats, un luckily find the room occupied by one or more of the masculine persuasion, are treat is made for the Ftreet door, which looks unladylike and undignified. loexiiect that gentlemen would p.av those delicate attentions to the fairer sex, such as turning the leaves of music, band ing a chair, &c, as is done in America, would be erroneous. Conversing with hcveral ladies and gentlemen at an even ing party, and wishing to use a book ly- ' on the piano in the hack parlor, I politely requested a young gentleman to bring it. The look of absolute bewilder ment that appeared on his physiognomy snowed me that m some unknown man ner I had committed an offense, lie did bring, it but quietly informed me that such a request had never been made by a Holland lady. Correspondence of the Millwaekee Sentinel. CAM BIN" OX A Sl'ADIi VIA SI1." Dntn'iy DoJ.e is an old-time amtiler, who lias a game le and is noted for his eccentricities and quaint expressions. Some years a;;o, when the Buffalo driving ark was the only trotting (rack of any consequence in the country, Dujiely at tended the races there. Jie stopped at the best hotel in the city, and went out to the track in a hack with three of his gamblitnr acquaintances. One afternoon his companions eotilcud ed to put up a job on him and leave him at the track to get. to to the city the best way lie could. They agreed to meet him at a certain place and go with him to wht"-e their hack was located. Instead, they went direct to the hack and ordered the driver to hurry to the city. J)ueley waited for them until almost cverv vehi cle had left the ground. Then lie con cluded that, lie had been run away from and started to walk to the gates. When he got outside the grounds the only rig in the street was a buvkboaid wagon drawn by a jaded animal and oc cupied by five colored individuals, all of them of the darkest African shade. I lad ing the driver he arranged to go to the eity along with the darkies for half a dol lar. The driver, to earn his money, w hipped up his nag and drove to the city so fast that Pupeleji- overtook his compan ions just as they entered the hotel. When he ambled up to them they allccted great surprise at having missed him, and one of them asked : "How in the world did you get in so Boon V" "K-ri topher!" said Ihipely, -'I came iu on a flush of spades I" IC'hicugo Tri bune.
