Xear the close of the summer season, in a pleasant summer re treat, a new-comer found the en tire company of the little hotel preparing to give a fete in honor of a young lacly who was about to leave them. The young men had brought a band and caterer from the city, marquees were erected on the lawn, the house was wreathed with flowers; everybody, from the white-haired grandmoth ers to the little children, had some little farewell gift ready for "Miss Betty." The stranger was curi ous. "This Miss Betty is very beau tiful, no doubt?" he asked his friend. ?No, T think not. It never oc curred to me before, but I believe she is homely." "A great heiress, then?' "On the contrary, a poor artist." I 'Brilliant, witty? Highly inlel lectual?"

This is a true story. The charm of this woman was an absolute absence of all self-consciousnes. She was neither vain nor modest. She simply forgot that there was such a person as Betty Gordon, and with her warm heart and quick sympathies threw herself into the lives of others. It was a peculiar powerful attraction, and brought the little world about' lier to lier feet. This unconsciousness of self is recognized in our best classes as, the finest development of good breeding. Among the English nobility, the man of highest rank is likely to be tlfe most unassum ing, direct and simple in his man ners. He assumes the virtue of modesty, if he has it not. American young people are not apt to be selfish, but are usually erenerous and considerate. But they are often intensely self- j conscious. They are themselves so engrossed with that monster J, ; that they imagine the world is f , T ,,. lr teresled. in this self- eaually in nnncffimicnncc llmv rrnf itmnll v - - . 1 , .

He could not return, ! hops. These at fifteen cents per and spent his life then in futile enterprises, hoping to make some bold stake that would enable him to return to Oregon. He worked for the improvement of Hell Gate for years, and lived to see the im provement finally made without his help. At too early a day he attempted to organize an elevated railway system for New York, and that too succeeded, but years after ward. This writer knew him well, and knew that his life wish was to rereturn to Oregon, the land of all his hopes, and where he could have acquired distinction and wealth in his profession, only for the rash act that ruined his prospects and blighted his life. Mr. and Mrs. Barnum filled an im portant social position in Oregon, and especially in Fnlem. at an early j day, and many will bear out our remembrance of them. He orga nized the Odd Fellows as an order in this state, and so long as he re mained here was a prominent member. He was a leading poli tician of the decade from ISoO to lSGO, and during that time was as well known in public life as any man in the state, and so far as his historv here can be recalled, he was highly honorable.

I The Salt Lake Daily Tribune of J Sept. 21th has the follewing: Gen. Eli M. Barnum, who died here yesterday, was born June 3d, 1S2J, was educated in northern Ohio, graduated at Dartmouth col lege, New Hampshire, in 1S4G; then studied law and was admitted to the bar in northern Ohio in 1S48; was onc:of the earliest mem - bersof the Independent Order fo Odd Fellows in the same locality and was afterward a charter mem-J ber of the first Odd Fellows lodge in Oregon at Salem. He went to Oregon in 1S51 and served as ad- jutant general under .Governor Davis durins: the Indian troubles in 1855 and 1S5G. He lived nearly ten years in Oregf.n and then re moved to New York city, where he j remained about the same time. He has been the most energetic and' active member of his fraternity and was the best authority on laws and principles of Odd Fel lowship in the territory. He died i noncefullv at 12 r on Frirlav. ! . ... . Portland Standard. Army Representatives.

No principle is more noble, as there is none more holy, than that of true obedience. Garner up pleasant thoughts in j your mind, for pleasant thoughts j make pleasant lives. Not a mother, not a father, nor any other relative will do as muen for us as a well-directed mind. No man was born wise; but wisdom and virtue require a tu tor, though we can easily learn to be vicious without a teacher. If you throw a pound of bread to the poor the Lord will throw a pound of butter into your lap to make what you have left more pal atable. Earnestness is the path to im mortality, thoughtlessness the path to death. Those who are in car nest do not die; those who are thoughtless are as if dead already.

Hearts, more or less, T suppose, most of us have, but we keep them so close-cased and padlocked we wear an outside so hard or dry that little or none of the love that is within, escapes to gladden those I around us. And so life passes without any of tin? sweetening to ! society that comes when affection is not only felt but expressed. "H. II." thus writes in the At lantic Monthly for September: In the Norway summer one conies ac tually to yearn for a little Christian darkness, to go to bed by; much as he may crave a stronger sun by day, to keep him warm, he would like to have a seasonable night time for sleeping. At find there is a stimulus and a weird sort of triumphant sense of outwitting na ! ture m beins: able to read or write by the sun's light till nearly (midnight by the clock. But prcs- ently it becomes clear that the out witting is on the other side. After the traveler 1ms written home to even-body once by daylight at ten o'clock the fun of the thing is over; normal sleepiness begins to hunger for its rights. A really American hotel Ameri can in everything, cookery includ ed would be a paying speculation in London. But it would be diffi cult to get it built. The local architects would sinuously prevent the builders from getting the Yan kee quirk on things: they would raise embarrassing objections in the most unexpected manner; and would finally say as the man in Sheffield did when he was asked if he Ould make a thousand knives exactly nice a cenain icnite ot a Yankee pattern "Yes, we can, but we won't!' If an American hotel were built in l.onuon it would have to be erected by American carpenters and mechanics. Only One.

A great pro portion of this lo-s of stock can be accounted for being driven to an Eastern market, but many cat tle horses and sheep were killed by the severe weather last winter. Notwithstanding this decrease, the assessable property this year will approximate somewhere in the neighborhood of three and a quarter million dollars, in com parison with twenty-eight hundred thousand last year.
