They fall into a sewer and are pulled out with a gold watch and chain in their mouth; they arc laughqd at because they bought some apparently worthless stock for thirty c£nts a share and a few days later the same stock leaps up to $50 a share. To that class of favorites of Dame Fortune evidently belongs the New York shop girl, who was robbed of her week's wages, amounting to $10. the other day while she was riding home on the car. Strange to say, the girl carried her wealth in a pocket in the lower part of her dress. When she reached her home she found the pocketbook with the ten dollars gone, and in its place a bisr $200 diamond, which had dropped out of the thief's ring while le was picking her pocket.

Mr. George Hall, of this city, tells The Guard that his old home paper, published in a New York town, speaks of the beau tiful painting of a Eugene scene—the mill race—which is now on exhibition in the city of Rochester. The picture is greatly admired and is attracting much attention there. It seems to us thing this is evidence that it will be a gOvd thing to circulate the album of views, about to be issued by the Commercial Club, throughout the East. The Guard’s year book, printed in handy mailing form, and profusely illustrated, will also be a good thing to send out. since the photographs seem to make a better im pression among Easterners than prosy descriptive articles. Alomr with the finest climate in the world, we have the most bea iful scenery in the country, and that fact should be widely advertised.
