Marrying for love and missing It is very
nearly at bad as marrying for money and
getting it.
4lIow much better an imported article is
than a home production," as Gaboi remark
ed when he kissed the serving-maid.
Chief Justice Fuller's four daughters are
so much alike that visitors aje scarcely
able to distinguish one from another.
Senator Morrill, of Verinont,has hern in
public life longer than any American now
living. He entered the House of Repre
sentatives thirty-four years ago.
People da not appear to take as much
stock in lightning rods as they formerly
did. There are now only three lightning
rod factories in the country against ninety
three a few years agd.
Large deposits of natural soap are being
discovered in Wyoming, Dakota and other
Territories now knocking at the door of the
Union. A fresh argument is thus added
to their claims upon the republican party,
seeing that they've got the soap,and pjenty
of it.
The over-confident gentlemen who are pre
dieting that Senate Tariff bill, with its 50 per
cent, cut in the sugar duties, may slip through
the House, apparently overloook the difficulty
of whipping in Judge Kelley. The Father of
the Houce has far too much of the obstinacy of
o'.d age to have changed his purpese in less than
a twelvemonth; and he is not a Stanford to be
bought off for a penny a pound.
That bill of Condon's (House Bill No.
104) to increase the State University tax
from one-tenth to one-seventh of one mill
and to make tuition free for those who en
ter any of the literary departments of the
University should be knocked out on the
first round. Young gentlemen who take
advanced literary courses should not ask
that the tax payers of the state should be
taxed to meet the expense of such course.
Let the bill be defeated.
' The Rev. Dr. Burchard, whose three
"R's" at a crisis made him famous, is stay
ing at the same hotel in Washington
which shelters James G. Blaine. This is
not the first time since 1SS4 that Blaine and
Burchard have lodged beneath the same
roof. During Mr. Blaine's sojourn in Eu
rope he was.more than once, a fellow-guest
with Burchard at hotels in Eng.and and
n the Continent. There is something
weird and grotesque about the fate which
throws these men together.
The number of millionaire Senators, es
timated now at from thirty to thirty-two,
or nearly one-half the entire Senate, has
been increased by the choice of Gen. W.D.
Washburn to succeed Sabin trom Minne
sota. Washburn is a railroad President, is
werth $5,000,000 and lives in a million-dollar
house at Minneapolis. He was born at
Livermore, Me., in iS3t, and is a graduate
of Bowdoin College. He made his money
in lumber.
A first-class American watch, well kept,
will last thirty or forty years, or sometimes
even longer, befor ! the works wear out, but
the average life of an ordinary low priced
American watch is ten years.and that of a
Swiss watch of the same grade seven years.
The length of life for a watcn depends
largely en the number of its jewels. The
range of prices for American watches runs
from $5 to $500, the costliest being a split
second minuic register timing watch. In
the United States about 3,500 watches are
manufactured every day. The Waltham
factory turns out 1,500 per day and the
Elgin factory between 1,200 and 19,000.
NOT MODEST.
Some communities like individuals are
not overburdened with modesty. Such is
the character of some of the counties now
asking for appropriations from the state to
build wagun roads. Fell of Morrow wants
$10,000 to build a road from Heppner up
to Monument, and yet Morrow pays only
$4,122 taxes to the state. That county
would take back all she pays into the state
treasury and $6000 paid In by other coun
ties. Crook of Coos wants $14,000 to build
a road out In Curry, which county pays
ti.Si 2 taxes to the state. Maxwell of Tilla
mook wants $10,000 to build a road in his
rounty and yet that county pays but $1,212
state taxe. Hunter of Wallowa wants
$8,000 to build a road up In his country,
and the county he represents pays $2,299
Into the state treasury Such is the char
ncter of the road bills which are now be
f ore the Legislature.
Mr. Spurgeon, the celebrated Baptist preach,
cr, is unable to take exercise at Mentone be
cause of the swelling ol his feet. It was fre
quently his custom, or rather hit necessity, to
preach to his London congregation with one
leg resting for support on a pulpit chair.
The Prince of Wales, upon being asked late
ly to be present at some public entertainment
to be given in London, sent a polite note of
regret, saying that he could not accept invita
tions of any sort for 18S9, as every one of his
engagements for that year was already booked.

A Fine Book. Probably no book that
has ever been introduced In Albany Is of
more real value than Cram's Family Atlas
of the World. Besides a geography of the
world in splendidly gotten up maps are
departments devoted to history, political
events, comparative debts, wealth.religious
denominations, etc., in wen gotten up ami
compact tables. Going with the work is
the Geographical AV.-m, a paper giving the
latest geographical events of the world. A
young gentleman is now canvassing the
city for this work, which deserves a good
patronage. .
