The yacts in a Nut Shell.
"We are surprised to hear that the
Portland board of trade trade fellows
represented to the Olympia assembly
that the pilot bill they ask to be adop
ted over there, passed both branches
of the Oregon legislature, but failed
to become a law for want of time (10
minutes) to secure the signature of the
speaker before the legislature adjourn
ed. Every member of the Oregon leg
islative assembly, every man present
there during the last hours of the as
sembly, the officers of that body the
Portland board of trade as well know
that statement to be false. The bill
did pass the senate, but was so amend
ed in the house that its advocates in.
the senate could not recognize it, ex
cept by the title (almost every objec
tionable feature was removed). This
did not suit the friends of the bill in
the senate, as the cry was "anything
to beat Astoria" and the amendments
of the house were concurred in. After
the second sober thought they conclu
ded to let the bill as amended go by
default, and it never became a law.
These are the facts in a nut shell.
Bills Approved
The governor of "Washington terri
tory has approved the following mea
sures,, passed by the present assembly:
"No. 82, amending the act providing
uniform weights; 85, fixing the appor
tionment of members of the legisla
ture; 96, for maintenance of schools
in Jefferson county; 102, for relief of
Puget sound navigation company; 27,
to amend the act incorporating Walla
"Walla; 29, to protect forest and tim
ber lands from lire; 91, to encourage
cultivation of oysters; 117, extending
the time for equalizing taxes in King
county; 72, in relation to grand and
petit jurors; 118, to encourage salmon
hatching houses on the Columbia
river."

"How did you like the article on
'Advice to Boys,' that I saw you read
ing the other day?" was the question
put to a young person in his teens.
" Well,it was good and well written,but
altogether too advicey," was the char
acteristic answer -of young America.
All! yes, that's just the way; those
that need counsel the most and heed
it the least, is the old time sentiment.
But why so much to the boys and
slight the girls?
Since I was left a widow, with five
small children, and by that peculiar
dispensation of Providence so often
noticed, four of them are girls, it falls
t ) my lot to do many things not ex
actly under the categorical head of vo
cation. For instance: picking apples,
and while engaged in this healthful
and useful occupation, thought of nu
merous girl friends, especially when
viewing the higher branches and cal
culating, like a true-born Yankee,
whether they could be reached with the
little ladder used on these occasions.
The most brilliant hued, rich colored
and temptingly looking fruit was al
ways on the highest branches, looking
down at you from their lofty height,
as much as to say, "climb up higher
and get me if you can." Here was the
point for the girls; hold yourselves
high and don't be ready to fall, like
an over-ripe apple, for ihe first one
that shakes the tree. If you are worth
anything, you are worth striving for,
and you need never fear being left to
wither for want of some one to reach
up and carry off the prize. There may
be some who will say "sour grapes,"
but never mind that. Modest fruit
there was, too, hid among the branches,
requiring some ingenuity in reaching,
less attractive at first sight, because
lacking the brilliant color of their
more aspiring sisters, but quite as good
for "keepers" and equally as desirable,
like young misses brought up in the
retirement of home, whom, to be ap
preciated must be sought among the
protecting leaves and branches of the
home tree. The fail fruit, strewn on
the ground by the first bi-eath of wind,
I thought little of, except as it sug
gested a comparison to those 3'oung
girls who assume young ladyhood long
before the time when they should be
most sought after.
Taken altogether, apple-gathering is
Tsot so prosaic a business as you might
think; but don't trust to appearances
always if you should be tempted to try
jour liaud at it, for the most luscious
specimens of the apple family that I
gathered l&sfc year were green, unat
tractive looking oneB, heretofore al
ways left on ihe trees as unfit for use,
"until by accident1 their excellence was
discovered. JTtm can imagin'ethe par
allel if you ctoSie.

The Times "Washington special
says: It wa3 a stampade without rea
son or thought, which passed Bland's
swindling silver bill in1 the house on
the oth, under suspension of the
rules. Over a hundred members were
absent, including some of the more
conservative ones. This partially ac
counts for the extraordinary vote of
lG3to34. The bill is essentially the
same as Judge Buckner's, which was
referred to committee on weights and
measures. "Western members voted
nearly in a body for the measure. The
republicans number 24 out of the en
tire vote cast against it.
Our DicR Heard From
A "Washington sj)ecial of the Oth,
says: "The overwhelming majority
by which the silver bill passed the
house, nearly five against one, sur
prised the opponents. The programme
arranged by its principal supporters at
a conference this morning, was merely
to move a suspension of the rules for
its assignment to some day next week.
Subsequently they became convinced
there was a possibility of its obtaining
a two-thirds vote on the question of
its passage, but the effect was made
with some misgivings, and the result
astonished its most sanguine friends.
The largeness of its majority was due
partly to the absence of a number of
anti silver congressmen who have gone
to New York and other neighboring
states to participate 111 the election,
but if all the absentees had been
present the bill would, nevertheless,
have commanded a considerable more
than a two-thirds majority. Page,
Pacheco, Luttrell, Williams, and
Wren voted against Ewing to move
the resumption and repeal from the
morning hour and allow a direct vote
upon it. The total vote against .this
motion was as foreshadowed in the
dispatches, ver3 small."
