Juaoii Lee, who lnidjuat returned across the plulna from Oregon, delivered a lecture ou Oregon at I'eorla. The lecture attracted the uttcutlou of a iiuuila-r of young men, who, having no ties lu the world, and without other meuiia or resources thau their wn ad venturous apirlta, resolved to go. to Oregon, They were able to get to gether a very slender outfit, and were lute In starting, but finally got off lu May, 1.')S, und proceeded Ut Jndcjicu denee, on the Mii-aourl river.

Mr. Tatom has a paid situa tion and Is very wcil pleased with the outlook. Of course it gets very cold in tiiat country aud they have only a short summer. Ee Couldn't Tell Which. One of the leading business men of the city, so the story runs, after returning home from thestate capital the other day, was looking over the big ledger aeeouuts when his critical eye caught sight of nil uuitemized account of 40 cents. "Look here," said he, "turning to the bead book-keeper, "whut is this forty cents for?" "I don't remember," said tlie book-keeper, "whether It is for postofilcetHix rent, or my last month's salary."

The party consisted of Mrs. J M. Vauduyn, Miaa VMe Itobertaoll, Ituyiiiond Henkle, Cbaa. Htaats and I. C. Chalfelter. The silent steeds, shining uad glistening from the ellecls of three hour vigor on polldiliig", sia-med Ut be anxloua for the flrt run of the year. Monmouth waa rem hod after several diaiiiounts to avoid the mud hole, one of the ladle prcfcrlng to carry her wheel. Leaving Monmouth we turn northward hoping to find a few mile of i-rfeet road. We dash along, but sre somew hat dlaappoiiited as to the roada, until a dismount is called aud the road I found Impassable. A stretch of dry level roud beyond de termines ua to go ahead. We lifted our steeds Into the wheat Held and "conned" the fern, and for a distance everything ga well. Hut we are disimed. The ground la going down, pedul extremities disappear, aud we are sinking Into tlie wheat Held. Hut amid the how Hug aud splusliliig one or two ate safely over. They hear the shrieking of the ladies aud rush to the rescue. We are safely landed on a grassy spot and all proceed to a spring clearing. Hublier overshoes are cast luto the fence corner, the mud la Hcruj-d off and ull agree, without the possioility of a deadlock, that wo will not return by thut roud. Hut ho! what sight Is this? Five bcurs and twice aa many dusky gypsies are ap proaching. We understand just enough to hear "10 cents to see the bear dunce." The only dime In the parly is dug up and thrown in the but. With a wild yell from the owners of tlie bears and a "le-ll-e-boo! Ploka Mazluka," bruin Is on two feet doing many graceful movement that would put to shame many freqututers of the ballroom. The party vote ita very Instructive entertain men t and duah away on their silent steed realiz ing that they have done what they could for the joor. Only one header" Is taken before we reach ltickreall aud we are well on our return when a noise like a pistol .hot. is beard and "a hult" called. Only a punctured tire, which, (thanks to the ever ready hairpin) is repaired aud iu a few momenta we are off again aud silence is the order. How stub- Ihiiii these steeds are. by those flushed faces aud great drops of per spiration? Why this striving to keep ahead? Oh I we bad lorgoiien oi tue return home. O for a moior cycie that will run w ithout this continued pump, pump. Hut uaw we have some Hue roads and soon reach Indepen dence.
