'TUESDAY. Iay 30. 1S7G.
Last year Puget Sound farmers
had hops on the brain, and everyone
exerted himself in the raising of that
article; but there being small demand
last fall, and prices very low, the far
mers are this year turning their at
tention more to the raising of grain and
vegetables.
The Dalles Tribune says: The
Postmaster General has decided that
the charges made by the Oregon
Steam Navigation Company against Z.
E. Moody, mail contractor on the Col
umbia river between Portland and
the Dalles are unfounded, and he
therefore declines to cancel Moody's
contract.
Just because the London Times
says: "We have no wish to give shel
ter to American Criminals," the saucy
Courier-Journal, of Louisville must
up and say: "And you wouldn't have
half enough shelter if you had the
wish." Out upon such dolly-varden
Democracy. But we don't know
whether that saying is harder on Eng
land or on America. Even the truth
ought not always to be told.
The suit brought by Thurston, a
gambler, against the Union Pacific
Railroad Company for ejectment from
the cars by employes, on account of
his known jrof ession, went to an Oma
ha jury May 9th and a they returned
:i verdict of $1.47, the amount paid
for a ticket, which had never been re
funded to him. The result of this
case, tried in the U. S. Court is to the
effect that railroad companies, for the
protection of passengers, have the
right to eject three-card-inonte men
from the train.
The Cor'vallis Gazette has infor
mation based on the authority of
Captain "Wiilant, that four men in
San Francisco, have agreed to
build a 12,000 tug for the Yaquina
Bar. This, says the Gazette, is good
news for the bay and our county at
large, as it will insure the construc
tion of the Corvallis and Yaquina
railroad. It is also a good policy for
San Francisco capitalists, as it secures
a direct trade with the center of the
great Willamette valley one of the
finest in the world. The future of
Benton county is brightening, and if
our people would act in harmony in
public improvement, we need not wait
for the next generation to witness the
grand results for which we have been
working and waiting so long.
In Clover. Hon. A. J. DufW,
untiring, energetic, good old man, is
having a fine time now in Philadel
phia. In a, recent letter he says:
"Friends coming to the Centennial
Exhibition from Oregon, can step on
the street cars at West Philadelphia
and gd direct to the Fair Grounds for
seven cents, where after procuring ad
mission tickets, if they will come to Ag
ricultural hall, Column letter E.-, No.
22, they will find their humble ser
vant ready to conduct them from the
Baiar of the Ottoman Empire to the
royal apartments of the Khedive of
ypfc through Spain, Portugal, Eng
land and Germany, and last but not
least, to the buildings occupied by our
"dear old Uncle Sam." If this trip
Will Hot do for a starter, we will, af
ter refreshing ourselves on ice cream,
(nutde from skim milk) at some of the
beautiful saloons fitted1 up for the oc
casion, smoke the pipe of peace", iscum
hias close moosum, (get a very good
sleep) and prepare on the following
day to visit all the nations from the
equator to the oles. " His address is

Polonaises, plain and simple,
reign supreme.
Half Dolmans are a popular de
sign for evening wraps.
The neatest floral sentiment :
"If you wish for heart's ease don't
look to marigold."
The tight-fitting shape of the
custume remains; the moulding

mark every fashionable toilet.
Mrs. Lorin Andrews, wife of the
late President of Kenyon (Ohio)
College, is a clerk in the Patent
Office at Washington.
Fringes of all kind, silk braids,
galoons, fine passementeries and
lace are all in favor for ornamen
tation upon new mantles.
New polonaises are the long,
plain habit garments, and, like the
new overskirts, almost conceal the
dress skirt beneath them.
Sacques and jackets are not
overlooked in the new make-up of
fashion's catalogue, and more than
the graceful surprise is to be noted
among the first-named class of
garments.
Said a young doctor to a lady
patient : ' ' You must take exercise
for your health, my dear." "All
right," said she, f I'll jump at the
first offer." They were married
about six months afterwards .
A graceful jacket, to be repro

of the slevees being made to cor
respond. Lace belts made of Yalencien-
nes insertion, edged with narrow
lace over silks the color of the
dress, or in contrast with it, will
be worn with summer dresses.
These belts fasten on the left side
with Ioojjs or ribbon and two flow
ing ends.
"When Abbey Foster, rising in
the majesty of indignant woman
hood, told the New England sher
iff that rather than pay taxes with
out the right of suffrage, she
would sacrifice everything, it was
chiefly emotion that made her
tighten her grip on her new patent
bustle.
Cream color has become a dis
ease; fashion is jaundiced. Every
thing is made of this tint fichus,
dresses, laces, bonnets and para
sols. For the coming season the
most elegant wrappings will be of
black faille of sicilienne, trimmed
with cream lace, almost entirely
veiled with bladk lace.
A most dressy head-gear for
theater wear is made of either
cream or pale blue faille, and
trimmed beneath the rim with a
ruche of yellow Valenciennes, and
with an Alsatian bow entirely of
similar lace at the top. The edges
of these bonnets are of feathers,
and some coronets inside are like
wise of feathers, and prove most
soft and pretty.
