THURSDAY Jrxt; 19, 1879.
They are asking who invented
spectacles. It is on record that the
Emperor Trajan viewed the games at
Home with a glass of some kind.
"It is for you to say," said Judge
Butler of the United States district
court to a Philadelphia jury, "whether
a man who plays poker for money can
have a good character. "
The physicians of Philadelphia
have agreed to collect bills monthly,
or at the end of services in each case,
and have employed a financial agent
to attend to collections.
- A furious religious revival is in
progress among the colored people of
Charleston. Id is common to see con
verts, usually women, carried home
insensible from the meetings.
Petroleum V. Xasby's dramatiza
tion of "The Widow J3edott Papers"
has been brought out in Philadelphia.
The play, as a whole, is said to be
crude and inartistic, but an exceeding
ly funny character is made of the
garrulous, meddlesome Widow.
Grand Rapids has had its bogus
foreign count. He was handsome,
plausible, and audacious. The young
women were bewitched by him, and
he picked out Estina Sexton, married
her, took her to Chicago on a wedding
tour, stole her money, and deserted
her.
Commodore Connor was heard be
fore the board of Engineers on the
harbor of refuge question on the 11th.
Pilot Gus. M. Jessen appeared on the
same day. The Engineers will visit
the Columbia river on or about Jury
18th, in a steamer specially arranged
for their accommodation.
A family of four adults, in North
bridge', Mas3., have drank enormously
of cider since last fall, the quantity
being estimated at forty to fifty bar
rels. They had been unable to sell it
at a fair price, and so used it them
selves. During the spring and latter
part of winter it was very hard, and
the drinkers' were intoxicated much of
the time. Six weeks ago the mother
died in a fit, and later one of the sons
died in a similar way, while the father
has delirium tremens; but they saved
the cider.

white help can be obtained, that can
be relied upon, we are very certain no
Chinese will be employed.
Freeport Xote.
The programme is out for a good
old-fashioned 4th of July celebration
at Freeport. The people of Cowlitz
county have joined together to make
it a very enjoyable occasion, a sort
of neighborhood social reunion.
New potatoes are in the market
from the vicinity of Freeport. The
soil of tliat part of Cowlitz county is
well adapted to the culture of sound,
healthy, mealy spuds, and Mr. Cramer
Joslin, one of the most extensive
growers of this species of the vine and
fid tree; is, this season, as usual, first
in the market.
Harbor of Refuse Delegates.
The Standard informs us that the
people of Eugene have unanimously
chosen Hon. J. 13. Underwood to rep
resent them in San Francisco to ad
vocate the adoption of Cape Foul
weather as the harbor of refuge, but
have not, as yet, raised the money to
send him there. The people of Junc
tion have appointed Hon. C. W.
Washburn as a delegate from their
part of the country, and what is of
more importance, they have raised
the money.

Edward Alexander Guy of Cincin
nati was in 18G2 possessor of 40,000.
he was a well educated, intelligent
young man, and particularly pious.
Convinced that the scriptural text,
"sell all that Te have and give alms,"
was binding injunction, he began to
dispose of his property .and gave the
money to the poor. He bestowed the
gifts slowly and carefully, and it was
not until 1S70 that the last dollar was
gone. He is now a religious mission
arv in Cincinnati, penniless, but
completely absorbed in the work.
The father of Charlie Ross it is
said, has visited over six hundred
boys in his fruitless search for his
stolen child, and each one of these
vast number of boys were conBdently
believed to be the missing Charlie by
their discoverers. In this connection,
the sad thought arises that if there
have been over six hundred stray
boys discovered who bear a resem
blance to this one particular missing
child, how many poor little waifs of
every age, sex, and complexion there
must be afloat on the sea of life, whose
parentage and antecedents are unknown?
