Yestordny a 1uhi11'1)(m strange
visitor to In in tin ity; buzzed
:icross the-. face of. a whv fmvr on
the street, hrinirinjr with him mit
restions of th" incwlow,. lie was
not an humble "ew: th iv -v'ns not a
trace of humility. in his deportment
he was n bumble bee. with a capi
tal B, and don't you forget it. Tin
bumble bee is the verv tvne of the
.summer loiterer. J'le does not work
himself to death, like the little busy
bee that doth improve each shining
hour. Jle loafs and invites his soul;
the dear old blundering awkward
reveller. The very smell of him is
surrestive of the weedy banks of a
favorite trout stream. a here thistles
if row, and fat flowers hide under
rank leaves or broad stretches of
red clover,or blossoms of sweet pea
vines. Who would irt swap two
days of weary hard worked city life
to be a bumble bee for one day in
the meadows of farmer Gray for in
stance, alonir the classic shades of
KlaskanieV 1 Tow jolly it would be
to liifht on the red topped clover
that bends down undei the weight
and clasp it ti"ht with those bristly
fuzzy leifs, and dip down into the
nectaries, taking1 no refusnl,wallow-ino-and
stumbling around on it, get
ting gold-dusted with the pollen.
The bumble bee is your true epi
cure: but he always pretends to be
engaged on business of importance.
His buzz, even when he is on u pro
tracted loaf, is worse than that of a
Chinese dragon kite in a windy day,
and makes you think that he is as
busy as one of Bain & Co.s planters
with a few circular saws thrown in.
If you take a blade of grass and
push him gently when he is on a
thistle bloom, he will kick at you
and go on feeding. A honey bee
would be off like a shot, but Mr.
Bumble gives a shrug of impatience
and burrows angrily down in the
blossom, as much as to say: (), go
"way from here with your foolish feolish foelish
ness: Pin busy! for it is in the na
ture of this insect to think that he
is busy when he is eating. Perhaps
he is right, some businessmen have
the same opinion. Then' is a great
deal of human nature in a bumble
bee. Honey bees fly st raight front
place to placi : hence the phrase,
bee-line. But n bumble bee nev-r
seems to be going anywhere in par
ticular. Sometimes lie Hies lazilv
sideways 01 backward. Jind goes
tumbling atound all day. His chief
amusement is in aggravating drow
sy dogs like Sam and Brick. lie
will buzz around just close enough
to make a dog giveoi languid snap
or keep one eye open and twitch
his upper lip. It is impossible for
the bumble bee to conceal his ma
licious pleasure in ihis cruel amuse
ment. In fact the interesting'crea
ture suggest in every way the pleas
ures of country life to jnded city
folk, its drowsy aimless drift; the
open air, the hedges, the meadows,
no steamer davs no collection days,
no business days, no shipping, nor
marketing, only long naps in the
middle of the day, buds of mint in
a tumbler with a stick and a straw,
a shimmer of heat along dusty roads,
the smell of blossoms, new mown
hay, the old horse nibbling grass in
the fence corners, the quarrelsome
setting hen, the king-ftsherllying
up the creek, the wood-pecker tap
ping the dead limb; and a thousand
other visions arise at the sight and
smell of a bumble bee buzzing on
the streets of the city. What an
advertisement a few of them would
be for our summering resorts, let
loose on the streets of Portland, we
offer this as a suggestion for mine
hosts Megler & Wright, of the ne
plus ultra Occident, Stanley, et al.
We find this in the. Oregonian
of yesterday: ''This paper cannot
permit itself to be made the in
strument of indecent attack on
men, either in public or pmate
capacity, by persons who would
like to conceal their own names."
Referring to the ''authoritative
way" Hon. Theophilus French ad
dresses country editors on the Cas
cade branch business, the Orego
nian remarks that Mr. French is
not "the government," but only an
accounting clerk of a bureau,
whose utterances carry about as
little authority as those of any one
of his teji or twenty thousand fel.
low clerks in the service of he
govern ment.
Gen. Grant Returning:.
A New Orleans dispatch of the
iedsavs: Gen. Grant is srreatlv
irritated over the Conkling affair
and eagerly reads all dispatches,
lie says that Conkling has been
shamefully treated and should be
re-elected to the senate. 1 It thinks
. that newspaper abtibe of Conkling
is instigated uv w lute nonsei
influences, but not by Gar-;
field. He reaffirms his letter to i
! Senator Jones of Nevada, but will
take no hand in the fight, lie
pronounced Governor Youngs
statement of his connection with
the United States national bank
and the marine bank as false, and
says that there is no truth in the
story about lost jewelry. His
mission to Mexico was also highly
successful. He got the conces
sions wanted, the only opposition
being ftom rival subsidized rail
roads. General Grant will go to
St. Louis, Galena and Chicago
after leaving here.
No change in the New York
senatorial fight. Beccher seems
to have forgotten his agreement
with Conkling, that if ever there
was a time now is the time for
such men to "stand in together."
Another crazy son of a gun
named Elijah Sterling,' claiming to
be the son of God, attacked his
wife and son with an axatCris-
field, N. J., on Friday. The son
escaped, but the wife was fatally
hurt.
The will of the late Thomas A.
Scott contains one sensible clause
long omitted from such docu
ments. It provides that no in
ventory ov account of the estate
shall be filed in any public office.
This thing of exposing the private
pecuniary affairs of a man, after
his death, is lacking in sound
sense for its support.
A special meeting of the com
mon council will be held to-morrow
evening for the purpose of devising
some plan or arrangement by
which Water street (so called) and
a portion of Squemoqha street, may
be improved. If property holders
and others interested would attend
this meeting, it seems to us some
definite plan could be agreed upon.
