Sucre,! u I jriiliinry expedition.
Cant. McConihe," commanding t'fli
cer of the recent army expedit ion to
Yquina bay, rode into Portland and
telegraphed the newB of his arrival to
Vancouver. The expedition, which
consisted of twocompanies of infantry
and a platoon ot artillery, took a
course southerly from here on the
west side through Sheridan and the
Grand Ronde Indian reservation to
Xestucca bay. From this point an
exploring party was htted up with a
p-tck train, and mounted upon mults
went down the coast to Yaquina bay,
The captain, with the main command,
came back enst of the Coast moun
tains, and took their march through
King's valley and along the route of
. he equina river to 1 iiquma bay.
From this point the while command
returned on '-he west side by a differ
ent route, having marched in "all
about 400 miles. They ave nor sta
tioned about three miles up the river.
"I am well pleased with the result of
i he expedition," said Capt. McConhie
"both in the advantages accruing to
ihe Irooos from the marching exper
ience, and the successful passage of
the exploring parly from Nestucca
bay southward. There is no official
record, so far as we know, of this
route having been covered, though
there are rumors in that direction, and
it has been an open and interestirg
question whether Mich a trail could be
tound. We take no little satisfaction
at the success of the enterprise. Mest
of the passage was made along the
beach, but several streams enter into
that cean, ami the high and frequen
promontories render the route difficult.

A DECLINING SPECIES.
Something Ahoat the Charsrterint Ira
of
the Uld-Paahloned Tramp rrlster.
No mere machine would ever fill the
place of the old-fashioned printer1, com
monly known as a tramp. He belongs
to a separate species of the human race.
He has no hesitation In correcting tha
editor's manuscript, and makvng him
say things he would not say. It is idle
for the editor to say he is right The
old-fashioned printer has traveled mora
and knows better. If "the editor, by
pertinacity, does finally succeed in get
ting a passage corrected the way he
wants it. It is disagreeable to see the
old-fashioned printer slam his rule
down on the case and start of with the
galley toward the Imposing stone with
the remark that there are a number of
chumps in the West who imagine, be
cause they are able to write a few lines,
that they know more than the universe.
He doesn't say so, but we instinctively
feel that he means us, and necessarily
he must be the universe. Whatever
may be the politics of the paper on
which the old-fashioned printer works,
his are invariably the opposite. This is
to Bhow that he is not to be coerced.
He will borrow a dollar from the pro
prietor, and then go off and vote against
the proprietor's interests, just to show
his independence. He can umpire a
base-ball game, conduct a class
meeting or give a temperance
lecture while he is full up
to the neck. He is consistent in one
thing. He opposes Chinese labor, and
never patronizes a Chinese laundry. It
Is true that he rarely patronizes any
other laundry, but that does not de
teriorate from his consistency. He will
borrow a quarter from the editor, and
then denounce the editor's greenness
for lending it to him. He would rather
steal a ride on a freight train than to
travel on a pass in & palace car. He
has a profound hatred for boarding
house keepers, and with not a cent in
his pocket docs not hesitate to criticise
the bill of fare in the most severe terms.
Give him a quarter to buy drinks, and
he may spend part of it for something
to eat; give him a quarter to buy victuals
and the money is sure to go for whisky.
And yet, with all these contrarities, we
should hate to see the old-fashioned
printer supplanted by a machine.
When almost starving himself he will
Siylde his last penny with a brother
printer. Memories of a mother and
sister cause him to respect womanhood.
And when he lies down to die, it may
be in the bottom of a freight car, or in
the corner of a fence, with nothing to
wrap his shivering form but his dilapi
dated clothing, a generous heart often
ceases to beat with his last breath. Who
shall say that in the hereafter there is
not a better future for the old-fashioned
printer P Peoria Transcript.
It s a pity that the dude can't be
allowed the woman's privilege of
changing his mind. Perhaps if he were
he might possibly make a swap for one
that was occasionally good for some
thing. Journal of Education.
The reason why so many old families
die out is because the younger ones have
not bee sense enough to swarm. They
want to stay together and live on each
other until they all starve. N. 0. Pica

AGRICULTURAL.
PRVOTED TO THE IxTTrRt'STS OK FAltMBUS
AND STOCKMEsr.
The sheep must have a dry location
at nignt. D.impuess in fatal to sheep,
being the cause of distemper, wh:le
wet pasture fields conduce to foot-rot.
A half-bred ewe, brtdj to a Shrop
shire ram is reported from England
dropping six well rnaturtid lambs at
one tiirth. Another prculuced four
lambs and two others triplets.
Sheep eat fo many different kinds
of plants which horses and cattle re
fuse that the addition of a sheep, by
keeping down " those plants w hich
other stock refuse, really increases the
product of the pasture.
The vessels carrying frozen mut
tons from Australia are said to be tak
ing out their refrigerator to abandon
the business, while the South Ameri
can trade is preparing for an increase
in the same line.
Southdown rams are the best for
crossing on small native breeds in or
der to produce excellent muttom. The
ewes from Buch cross should be mated
with Oxftml or Shropshire rams if
larger size be desired.
The Indiana Farmer is authority for
the statement that the Shropshiresi
have grown more rapidly in popular 1
favor than almost any other mutton
oreeu or sueep, especially in the cen
tral Western States.
An English farmer, writing of feed
ing ensilage to his flock of five hun
dred sheep, saps that they did better
on it than on any ether food, and last
year of his 480 lambs not one died,
and his ewes did better than Usual.'
The way to build up the sheep in
dustry is to weed out the flocks, go for
greater capacity for mutton, and in
creases in the mdivi iual, and put a
small flock em every farm, where they I
will pay their way, even if wool isn't I
worth a cent a pound. i
Ihe pomts to be oberved in'rutting
up wool are, not to fold the fleece too !
m .

not to try to sell twine for wool, and
to exclude all tags, leg wool and all
foreign matter" from the interior of

The business of raising lambs for
e irly spring marketing is yearly as
suming greater proportions in New
York 8nd New England. To meet
with the greatest success it is found
important to select ewes for dams that
re large milkers, and to so feed them
aa to keep a liberal flow of milk long
continued.
There is always an uncertainty le
garditig the temperature for churn
ing. While from 62 to 65 deg. is
usually accepted as the proper tem
perature, the milk from some cows
prrduces cream that rt quire as high
as 67 deg. to form butter. Oa fe ch
dairy farm practical handling of the
milk only can determine how best to
churn for first-class butter.
To get the cream quickly from milk,
aa soon as it is drawn from the cow
reduce its temperature to about 45
deg. and keeD it there, and in four or
j five hours all the cream will rhe. The
cream will be perfectly sweet, and the
skim milk will be of a very superior
quality. If the cream is to be made
into butter.it should be kept at a
temperature of about 65 deg, and
churned at a temperature of from 55
to 60 degrees.
Hie idea that any me' hod of feed
ing turnips to cows, either just b; ftre
or lust alter milking, will save the
next mess from being flavored, is a
popular mistake. Heating the milk
will cause the flavor of the turnip to
evaporate so that it will not i fleet the
butter made from it. But there are
objections to this. The butter from
milk thus treateit will be soft, and the
milk, it used as food, will have a con
stipating effect which it did not be
fore possess.
If hen3 are confined in somewhat
narrow limits there is a great advan
tage in having two runs to be used al-
ernately through the season. If pos
ible these should be arranged so that
a one-horse plow can be introduced
and the ground be plowed or dragged
over every time a change in quarters
is made. A few sowings of oats,
dragged in will keep the fowls busy
scratching for the grain, and what es
capes them and grows will be worth
even more for green food.
The competition among market
gardeners is now so great that early
vegetables for outdoor plantfng are of
fered by them cheaper than most
farmers can grow the few they may
require. Send an ir quirv to any lead
ing msrket gardener, and the writer
will be surprised to learn how cheaply
tomato, cabbage, lettuce and other
plants are furnished to those ordering
by the quantity. It is often better
and cheaper for farmers to buy these
than to try to grow them, with the
poor facilities that most can com
mand. There are passions witnin your
soul that have never been unchained.

- A Maine fishing schooner recently
caught on the Georges Banks, on a
halibut trawl, a queer fish. It-weighed
seventy-five pounds, and is dese-ribed
as being "about as large as the top of
a hogshead, and almost as broad as
long." When first taken from the
water it was of a bright red color and
marked witn silver spots, varying in
size from that of a- three-cent piece to
that of a silver dollar. After the fish
had been out of the water a while, the
red became purple, except on the fins,
which retained their vivid hue. The
fins, three in number, were small in
proportion to the bedy, and the tail
was short and broad.
"What b-e-a-u-tiful peaches," said
an old lady as she stopped at a stall in
the market and admired a basket of
early peaches. They were covered
with pink gauze and looked very tempt
ing. The old lady bought the peaches
and took them home. The next day
she appeared again at the stall and
showed the stallkeeper a small piece
of pink net. "Do you keep that kind
of veiling for sale?" she asked. The
stallkeeper told her that he did not.
"Welle" she said, "when I got them
peaches home they were small and j that a mudpuddle of extraordinary di
sour and green, and I thought if I mensions-a puddle worthy of the
could get some of that stuff that made j Elizabethan age had gathered unto

A REVIVED ANcGDOTE.
ir Walter Raleigh, and the Good
Tlrgtn
Queen Elizabeth.
Bad weather held London in its
irong grip, and as her Majesty's state
hair had been sent to the chair shop
- have a new set of springs put in. it .
ecame necessary for ,the Queen to
aik to Parliament, to leave her reg
. -ai- morning order for the state execn
loner. The gallant Raleigh, who was
it that time occupying the exalted stat
ion of Escort Extraordinary and Gold-
tick-in-Waiting to the Queen, in ac
cordance with the duties of his office,
offertsd his arm to Elizabeth, and they
twain, preceded by six trumpeters, and
(oilowed by three pieces of artillery
and a thousand small boys, set out in
the pouring rain. As umbrellas had
not been invented at that period, Ral
eigh sheltered himself from the torrent
beneath the water-proof ruff her Maj
esty wore about ther neck, while Eliz-
( abeth was granted the sole satisfaction
for the soaking she received by order
! big the clerk of the weather to the
block. The journey passed without in
' dklent worthy of note until the party
"reached the corner opposite the Parlia-
i ment. buildino-s. where it was found
itself the larger part of the street
"By my halidom,w quoth the Queen,
"but this puddle hath extrrdinary
depth! Methinks 'twere well that we
return, and defer the executions until
the morrow." -
"Not so, my liegess," said Raleigh,
turning to one of his retainers and seiz
ing his cloak; " 'twere better far that
my friend here should sacrifice his
hahit to thy necessity, r Never shall it
be said that while a Raleigh stood by,
the Queen of England was balked of her
determination or wet her ankles in pur
suit of her ambitionf"
Saying which, the courtier threw his
retainer's cloak upon the surface of the
puddle, and her Majesty,, stepping
lightly upon it, reached the other side
without wetting her feet Elizabeth
never forgot Raleigh's gallantry; but
as for the retainer who lost his habit,
he likewise lost his head for saying in
the Queen's presence that, "since
Raleigh had so many bad habits, he
thought it hard that he should lose his
to demonstrate what a tailor-made cour
tier Raleigh could be when he tried."
