A Sound Ytrn.
A f ew days ago whon Capt. DalgarJno
was assisting to tear down tho Chincso
shanties bought by him on tho county
property ho was accidentally struck over
tho eye by a bit of flying debris. Since
then ho has had lots of fun telling how
ho was slugged by so and so, always tell
ing a different yarn to each listener, till
many were mystified as to tho causa of
the magnificent mansard roof eroded
over one of his peepers. Capt. Harry
Taylor who gets "how-come-you-so" once
m a while, had beon in at Del's bar room
in that fix and had a quarrel there.
Next daj', on sobering up, ho noticed
Del's eye and inquired about it, where
upon ho was told that it was ho who did
it while ho was drunk. Being truly pen
itent, and desiring to make amends, ho
at onco went to Waterman & Katz' and
bought a now dress for Mrs. Dalgarduo.
That lady says now she wishes ho would
black Del's other eye. Del. is now study
ing out a now story with a truo Scotch
man's view to thrift. Port Townscnd

A Polk county farmer who tried diver
sified farming gives the result as follews:
Hops, ten acres, not worth picking: but
ter, from ten cows, A No. 1 quality, no
market for it; eggs from fifty hens, worth
twelve and one-half cents in goods; ba
con, from fifty hogs, can't get any cash
for it, only trado at less than bacon cost;
rye. 1,200 bushels, worth less than wheat
and no market; barley, SiK) bushels, can
only got an offer of forty-live cent.?, de
livered in Portland less than wheat
would havo brought at the samo place.
Add to this dried fruit, which ho always
had, but which will bring nothing this
year, and seo what diversified farming
comes to.
No Siio;v For Nelialem.
Thogjvernmont engineers in their re
port on an examination of Nehalem bay
and river, recommend that no improve
ment be attempted by tho government.
They say: "Enough is known of Neha
eom bar to conclude that it is too shoal
for easy crossings by tho smaller class of
coasters. Works or contraction would
probably give a channel of required depth
and stability for these vessels. But it
does not appear that tho least cost of tho
improvement work is warranted by tho
traffic of the region in its present stata of
development. The entrance to Nehalem
bay and river is not now worthy of im
provement." lion Would Afctortu Do!
Tho ship Harmonia arrived in this
port July 31, thirty-seven days from Yo
kohama. Her voyago is of particular in
terest, on account of its demonstrating
tho relative value of San Francisco and
Tacoma as points of shipment for goods
in transit for tho east. Tho ship Isabella
was in xokohama, loaded with tea, when
tho Harmonia began to load, yet tho
latter's cargo, consisting of 31.000 pack
ages was in Chicago before tho Isabella
had reached Tacoma. Tho Northern Pa
cific railroad will evidently havo to find
a moro southerly terminus. San Fran
cisco Dispatch, !.
Martin Foard has had in his employ
for somo timo past a Chinaman named
Jim Brown. About four weeks ago Mr.
Foard missed thirty dollars in coin from
a bureau drawer at his residence. Ho
paid little attention to his loss, however,
until last Sunday evening, when ho
missed twenty dollars more from the
samo place. His suspicions were then
fastened on Jim Brown and he notified
Chief Loughrey of his loss. Jim was ar
rested in a Chinese gambling don by Of
ficer Ostedt. Ho was taken to jail and
searched and fifty dollars in coin was
found in his possession. His room being
searched a quantity of silk handkerchiefs,
towels, Jac8, etc., were found in his bag
gage. SI-John's Chapter No. 14 K. A. M.,

"THE r-RIVATK SECnETARY' C03IXG.
There is a whole evening of laughter in
"Iho Private Secretary" as presented by
tho Mcdiscn-squaro Theater company.
If there is any fault in the work it is a
superabundanco of comical situations,
but it is constructed by a skillful hand
upon a trustworthy dramatic model, and
the result is moro genuine satisfaction
than is generally derived from the farcial
comedies of the day. Tho story is hardly
worth the telling except as it is told in
in tho play. In a word it deals with tho
mental and physical contortions of n
parson who, going to fill an engagment
private secretary to n country gentleman,
is mislod by two frolicsome young men.
and in pursuance of their mischievous
plans is successively taken for the nephew
of a testy old bachelor, a burglar and a
spiritual medium. Ono of the young men
meanwhile plays his pranks in tho guise
of the privato secretary and raises tho
mischief generally with tho men and
women gathered in a country house. Mr.
W. H Gilletto in the title role presents a
very strong bit of characterization, en
dowed with real originality of conception
nnd finished to a high degree. His very
appearance is laughter provoking, and
anything more ludicrous than his sepul
chral enunciation J md gawky movements
can hardly bo imagined. His efforts are
fitly supplemented by Mr. Kennedy's
equal artistic delineation of the choleric
old uncle, and other capable people in
Iho cast contribute to a popular success
which will be received here with tho samo
favor as elsewhere. A full cast from the
Madison-squaro Theatre, including "W.
H. Gillette and M. A. Kennedy, are an
nounced to appear hero on Aug. 17. The
' Rajah" will be produced on August 18.
Seats arc now on sale at Adlers music

Free Exhibition.
And auction sale of twenty highly fin
ished oil paintings at B. S. Worsloy's
auction rooms by Prof Schafer of San
Francisco. Tho above namo should bo
sufficient guaranty to any lady or gen
tleman that this exhibition is worthy of
the attention of oar best citizens. Fred
erick Schafer is a graduate of tho Dnsscl
dorf school; also officiating member of
tho Fine Art Association of San Francis
co. His exhibition at tho mechanics
fair last year was tho largest ever made
by any artist on this coast and was
awarded over 1,200 in premiums. Mr.
Schafer now is about to depart for Eu
rope and he has been prevailed on by his
brother artists not to throw his collec
tion on tho San Francisco market which
would break prices in art. He has t her o
foro shipped thorn to Portland whero ho
has disposed of eighty paintings and has
l6ft twenty to bo closed ont hero at tho
mercy ol our citizens. Tho collection
will be ready for inspection this ovening
and closed out to the highest bidder on
to-morrow night at eight o'clock sharp,
regardless of their value. Tho paintings
will be on inspection this evening at B.
S. Worsley's auction rooms.
Tli? Keasoa Why.
The Standard says that a largo surplus
of butter, tho genuino article, has accum
ulated in tho hands of tho wholesale
merchants here, which accounts for tho
low prico of that article. Tho reason of
the accumulation is that oleomargarine
can be bought for six to eight cents per
pound, leaving a larger pro lit thau buttor
would give. Tho dairy lay will bring
butter back to a good pfico this coming
fall and winter, but it is thought the
prico will never bo a3 high again as it
was once.
Ca'ifcrnls Heat.
In many interior towns yesterday
thermometer marked two or three
tho
dc-
grees above 190'. In Sacramento it was
101 in San Rafael it was as high as that
at one time. In the Napa valley it was
higher thau that in places. At Red
Bluff a report says it was 101; at Keeler,
Inyo count', 103 and at Fort Yuma tho
sweltering heat pushed tho quicksilver to
107 in tha shade. S. F. Bulletin, 4.

"How is it, mj friend, that you never
