So. 10. tla ct HP Btmw jaa&eav THE JUDGE'S REMINISCENCES At the driving of the last spike j of the connecting- Portland road, a few dn3's ago, Judge Dearly said: We are met here to witness the completion -of this great Oregon enterprise, which is to put us in railway communication with the east and the north and the south which is to lift us out of our long continued isolation and place us in the front rank of the people of the world. It is difficult for me to con w' to you the impression which this sdtne makes on me, or to reflect the memories or emotions which now cluster aroundmy heart. Thirty-three years ago I floated down this lonely but lordly river in an Indian canoe on my way to Oregon. I was then a youth to for tune and to fame unknown, but not without hope and courage for the future. At that time the iron horse had not climbed the AUeghanies on his westward way, and you may imagine how little 1 thought or droamed of helping to drive the hist spike in it track on the far:off Columbia. Indeed, it is not one hundred yeais since the grand river on whose shores we now stand, was discovered Since Captain Gra' stumbled in over the bar and there by fastened upon it forever the name of his lucky bark Colum bia. Only three-quarters of a century ago the government of the United States first put forth its compara tively feeble hand to claim this un known shore. The spike which eventually fastened it to the Union, and which will never be withdrawn, was the expedition of Lewis and Clarke, which seventy seven years ago floated down the river in sight of this spot where we now stand, and bore the stars and stripes from the Missouri to the Pacific. Then those rock-piled hills first echoed the welcome sounds of the now universal Eng- nsn tongue. A quarter of a century later that gallant American soldier of French birth. Col. Benjamin Bonneville, explored the country, and soon after "Washington Irving caught the ear of the public "with the charming narrative of his romantic adventure. With a poetic justice the managers of the enterprise have perpetuated his memory by naming the principal place on the road in this vicinity Bonneville. Following him forty years ago, came the American trapper and pioneer. Twenty years ago the Oregon Steam Navigation sprang into ex istence and the tide of traffic and travel turned up the stream. From Astoria to Lcwiston the river was plowed with the strong stern wheels under the enterprising di rection of Ainsworth, Thompson and Ladd. But all this has passed away and the river gives place to the rail, and the sternwheel to the locomo tive. Finally we congratulate the managers of this new enterprise. Their names Villard, Dolph, Prescott, Thielsen and Muir will not only be remembered in our cups but emblazoned on our towns, boats, palace cars and other monuments of art and utility. And we trust that they will be wise and moderate in management of the great power and responsibility and aim to make the public good and their own identical. Let them fos - ter the country which fosters them, and putting aside all other pur poses, be content to act only as the' beneficent agentsbetween the producer and consumer, and no one will ever have occasion to re gret this pay. The Gray Head by the Hearth. A private letter from a lady who is spending the year among peasants of the Tyrol, says: "The morning after our arrival we were wakened by the sound of a violin and flutes under the window, and, hurrying down, found the little house adorned as for a feast: 'gar lands over the door and wreathing n lilrrli Mum- ivtnnli irc col m state. "The tabic was covered with gifts, brought by the young peo ple whose music we had heard. The whole neighborhood were kinsfolk, and these gifts came from uncles and cousins in every far-off degree; they were simple, for the donors were poor; knitted gloves, a shawl, baskets of flowers, jars of fruit, loaves of bread; but upon all some little message of love was pinned. "Is there a bride in the house :"j I asked of my landlord. "'Aoli. iinin!' hr snid. 'Vc do t ..l ci, .. itl.o.. sl,nt ,r ! ,, . ,, -t young pcopie. ii is me gniuu-i mnt hp.r's hirtlirlnv.. ... .. j ., "Tim rr:mdnintlipr- in lirr supr- . i , iii i . tacles, white aoron and high velvet ., .. i n j .... Piln. Vj1; :i hprninp :ill fl.iv. sitruifr - i i J' a in state to receive visits and deal ing out slices from a sweet loaf to all "who came. I could not but re member certain grandmothers at home, just as much loved as she, but whose dull, sad lives were never brightened by any such gifts of pleasure as this; and I thought we could learn much from these poor mountaineers." We remember a certain Ameri can house of the higher class, in which the venerable mother of the owner had her own boudoir filled with everything which could re call her long checkered life pleas antly to her in its tranquil old age. That room was the center of the great mansion; no guest entered the house without desiring to pay his respects to her, although only the most favorable were admitted. The effect upon the young people who came to the house of this marked genuine reverence for age was incalculable for good. The new generation is always apt to be intolerant of those who are. leaving the stage; apt, too, to slight their experience and opinions. If they do not find their parents honoring age, where will they learn to honr them.'' Americans are usually affection ate to the aged members of the family; but the' lack the tender ness, deference and care which the French show to them, and by which they bring heart and life into the colorless lives. It is not enough to give a neglected seat in the chimney corner to the gray haired mother or father; use such devices and innocent wiles as will make them feel that they have not lost their place among men; that the work which they have done is appreciated; and above all, that they still have work for others to do. The farms of the United States are worth $10,190,799,015; the fences, 78,705,723; live stock, $500,832,187; farm implements and machinery , 08,510,902; manures and special fertilizers cost 28,587,805. The total value invested in agriculture is rated at 12,210,253,31G, and the revenue yearly collected from its products for the support of the national, state and local government and for education amounts to nearly $100,000,000 annually. "Peace hath her victories," etc., and General A. T. Sharpe, of Ot tawa, Kansas, so savs the Iltnub- licartj of that city, has found more substantial beneiit for severe mus cular rheumatism, by using St Jac obs Oil, than from any other sub stance he ever tried.

A rather singular occurrence has b"een discovered by the officers of the steamship Cormonn, now in poil. It appears that lately, while the vessel was pitching in a heavy sea, daylight became visible in the iron i udder between tiie screw and the outside rudder frame. Closer inspection revealed the fact that a verv large hole had- been eaten I into the rudder nearly four feet by three in dimensions. Notwith standing this shehteered fail ly and arrived without hiiv drawback. On arriving here repairs were ordered, and the rudder will be in good or I der for the outward voyage. -The oniy soiuiion oi ine prouieiu wuai caused the. hole in the rudder is given by a gentleman who knows o Jo his way about a ship very thor oughly. He oeiioves it one to tne galvanic action of a very large nut at the end of the propeller shaft. This having disintegrated the iron of the rudder, the action of the water washed away the iron piecemeal, until at length the large and dangerous hole was noticed. This "s another of the difficulties iron ships have to overcome. Montreal Witness, tcpt. ISti. Postal Statistics. Postal statistics of the world arc curious and interesting. In the number of letters and postal cards dispatched and received per capita of population, Great Brit ain leads, and the United States follows; Switzerland, the Nether lands, Belgium, Germany and France sucecding in the order named. In newspaper circulation the United States is far ahead, as it is also in the length of railway lines, high-roads and water routes for the transportation of mails. The largest gross revenue falls to Germany, where, presumably, the rates are comparatively high. The United States comes next, Great Britain, France, Russia, Austria, Spain and Switzerland following; but Great Britain enjoys a most desirable distinction. Tt has the largest net icvenue from postal transportation. The wearing of jewelry is going out of fashion in England. It is considered as vulgar to be seen with a display of jewelry, unless it be on great occasions. Bare arms and throat are the rule in fashionable society, the wearing of bangles, bracelets and chains be ing left to those who do not fol low the newest styles. It has long been known that the Baltic shores are rising, through some mysterious influence. Tn 1755 a surveyor marked out a rock on the Finland coast, and cut a line just two inches above the water.

A lawyer there lately, in the course of his argument, used the word "dispar agement." '-Stop using Latin words," said the judge, "or sit down."
