Individ-
A king of Asia finor was one
time visiting a king of Sparta. In
Aeia hi the early days of the world
all eitiea wore walled as a defense
against enemies. When this King
cam to Sparta and discovered the
absence of walls hef was astonished,
and asked the king of Sparta,
"Where arc the walla of your city?"
The Sjasian iTukr answered, . "I
will show you to-morrow." The
next day he ordered the armies of
Sparta to pass before his guest in
review. As the proud freemen
marched by, the king, touching his
visitor on the shoulder and point
ing with pride to h9 soldiers, said:
These are the walls of Spatta;
every man is a brick." Tne mor
ality, Intelligence and virtue of the
individual characters composing a
commonwealth is- the foundation
of city, of countV, "of- state, and of
government-building. If you wish
good society, a ; pure and stable
government, you " inust strengthen
the individual parts of the social
fabric.. A brick structure i only
as strong as the weakest brick in
the wall. Let us cultivate the in
stitutions and customs whose in
fluence tends to elevate the indvid
tsal. Progress in this direction
may b slow, doubtless will be so,
but impatience is a sign of weak
ness. Society is not made virtuous
by a decree neither do govern
ments attain their majority at a
bound.
ntOQJRESSIl'K
TION.
CiriLIZA-
Such a civilization as that of the
nineteenth centurv brings societv
very much under the influence of
the richest culture arid refinement.
The spirit of the age is aesthetic.
35ven utility goes abroad gilded
yind brocaded most " elaborately.
The humblest industry has been
taught to aspire to a place in the
lemple of the arts; and nation
challenges nation to a comparison
of handiwork. Under such, cir
cumstances ; there is a special
temptation, to worship faculty,
skill or genius. We now ask for
-ertincates of merit, and make
manhood prove itself by comjeti
tive examinations. And now that
certificates, medals and titles are
o plentiful, it is a bare chance if
the uncertificated man escapes con
tempt. Men are industriously
trained to criticise the external;
they are learned in all 'artificial--ism;
inexorably exacting in mat
ters of dress, posture and pronunciation--
What, then, can the un
conventionalmando? Refinement
brings its own perils. When re
finement boasts of itself it becomes
vulgarity . True refinement is a
question of the heart, not an
attainment of the schools; under
the roughest exterior the most
er susceptibilities niav throb,
and tinder the finest there may be
-dross and dust.
HAMMER OR ANVIL.
T pound or to be pounded, is
the orre great question which con
fronts every man at some period in
life. Whether yon will be active
r passive in the world's great
iff&aufactory of human character
is of infiuite moment to more souls
than one. A stumble in- early life
may subject your posterity to the
torturing trample of "many genera-
tis. . aien sometimes ana n con
venient to use as a foot-bridge some
fallen trunk, or ride to glory on the
back of . sqme, haplesa brother's
misfortune. Two-thirds of our race
are saddled and bridled for the
other one-third to mount and ride.
A large percentage of our popula
tion are nothing but macadam for
the velvet" slipper " and the iron
heel. Mediocrity and servile obedi
ence are used by the ambitious as
bridge timber to fill up the inequal
ities on the great highway to the
throne. Avaricious men stand
upon the "prostrated forms of un
fortunate competitors that thev
may over-reach a brother short of
stature and snatch the prize, ere
the ragged and" the hungry can
stretch-forth the wasted and with
ered hand. Men with the stomach
f a horse and . a reservoir like a
brewer's vat, eat their pastry and
sip their foreign brands of wine,
while the pinched and hungr y sit
at the portals and beg for. crumbs.
The liistorv of the world's mad
strife Tor bread and butter, is
punctuated . And paragraphed by
tears and sighs, by battle and
pestilence and all the tumultuous
changes incident to the struggles
for a manly Independence and a
satisfying competency.
WO,MANUElPNEEDED.
Let woman make the most of her
opportunities sociall', morally, in
tellectually. - At home she is, or
should be, queen regnant. All re
ligious institutions, all moral re
forms, especially that including
the social evils, are helpless with
out the aid . of woman. - The war
now pending between capital and
labor urgently demands the sooth
ing influence of woman to amelior
ate and end the bitter conflict, to
heal the wounds and bring peace.
Thus acting socially .with man in
the outer , and inward world, she
will advance her own condition
and that of the world -around her.
- Natural wars will cease, the arts
c business and commerce will
flourish, society will ', mould its
opinions oft a higher plane, a high
er And nobler religion will rise on
the minds of theold-4a religion
that really means "Peace on earth
md good will to men."

men who were employed in repairing
the road. The buggy was badly
smashed.
Brownsville has been havinfc a little
tempest in- a teapot for the last few
days over the action of the Browns
ville Times in coming out for Pennoy
er for Governor. The editor of the
Times says he Is not a Democrat lie
cause he supports Pennoyer, but on
the other hand he supports some of
the Ivcbuiilican candidates. There are
(many life long Democrats that do the
same thing. " Again there Is scarcely
an issue of his paper which does not
contain an attack on the protective
policy of the Republican party. When
anv man supports the Democratic can
didate and advocates the. policy of the
Democratic party, we believe" we are
right in calling him" a Democrat, and
we-do not believe that the Times can
be classed ill the future as an indepen
dent paper. Some of the leading citi
zens, looking at it in this light, with
drew their patronage last week and
had their paper stopped, henee the
tempest in a teapot. Among the lat
ter the president of the woolen mills
ordered his paper stopped, and also by
the consent of a majority of the direct
ors tok the advertisement of the wool
en mills out. We lielieve the free trade
principles of the Democratic party, if
carried out, would stop every woolen
mill in the United States. No one in
Brownsville objects to the editor of
Times running a Iemocratic paper,
this he has a right to do, but many
Republicans, believing it to be an inde
pendent aper, have subscribed for it.
Upon finding out their mistake they
had the paper stopped. This privilege
the editor should grant to his subscrib
ers without any kicking. We had not
intended to notice this trouble in our
communication to the Exprkss, but
some individual, with more zeal than
sense, has written it up ror the Albany
Democrat in a sensational manner and
made several statements iu regard to
W. R. Kirk that arc not true. Mr.
Kirk's connection with the mills com
menced a little over a year ago. When
the mill was on wheels to go to Albany
Mr. Kirk knocked the wheels from
under it and started tne looms and
spindles in motion. To this act
Brownsville owes its present prosperity.
The mills after running one year un
der the management of Mr. Kirk, as
sisted by - his efficient Sup't, find
the stock of the company at a pre
mium. Under these conditions wc
don't think the stockholders will be in
any particular hurry to chitnge its offi
cers, ns supposed by 'the Times. The
worst feature ef this unfortunate afTViir
is, that the Times is quarreling with
its tiest iriencis: witii me men who !

A popular clerk was heard to remark that he
was not troins to sew on many more lmtton.
What could he mean? Maybe he will use mletit
buttons hereafter; not likdy. however.
Two yraina; Java were seen to do something very
nnnsiial for person of their tender ase la-t Fri
day cvenins. in the way they made the Ice cream
disappear and Orv's pocket-book stow lighter.
We hope none of the youm-cr members of the
family will be so thoughtless as to forget ilia1 the
nights are very li-rlit now. and to save trouble
and old srstes, do their walking- aud swinging in
the day time.
Some jnvs are Inclined to he very frlcndlv w ith
a certain kind of fow l. Kor Instance, take ni-te
of the delisrhtOd' saline eiiiferrt-d u-on a young
Swan by a jny bin! Friday eveiiuif. J. says'tbere
was something sweeter than candy at the candy
pulling. Some Jays arc reported to have broken the
mie acainst keeping late hours, and will have to
pay the penalty. If these Jays wish to sit tip later
than the retnil'nr time they will have to apply to
the proper olii-er and (jet a l-enilit, then it will
1 all Wright.
It Is not jtvnerally known that Jay birds are mi
pratory. but they have liocn known to aciuallv
go as far 1: Kth as the sta'e of Washington, and
return after so Ion? a time, hut it is generallv
s-uppod thnt their return i due to the fondness
for oilier members of the family.
A beautiful Jay went into the O. P. C. S. Wed
nesdiiy evening with the intention, so she said, of
buying a cm of baking powder. However, after
making quite a stay she came down the street
carrying nothing but a small Img of enndy hearts.
We will not attempt to give an explanation of
this strange roeeeding.
A leading Jny Is reported to have broken mie
No. 1 at Sodavllle last Sunday. If he does not
show- up nt Hie proper iilr.ee Main street and
ask forgiveness, he is liable to exclusion for ten
days, more or less. This may seem a rather se
vere penalty to'him. hut the rules must be enforced
to keep peace in the family. -
At the candy-pulling quite a flock of ltcantifnl
nnerowm-d jays oempied a corner all to ib.em
selves the greater part of the evening. Finally a
little Methodist" jay with a topknot sailed into
the tlock and indneeil one to fly with him. Hut
when Orv put in an nppear.inee he made quite a
scattonncnt. carrying away two (?) small ones.
A "couple" of w ise Jays could find no pleasure
In such a simple pastime as pulling candy, Friday
evening, so tliey new ') to tlie suburbs, where,
they eonld get a go! view of the heavens and en
Joy their favorite study, astronomy. They also
give some attention to figures they can tell
how many boards and nails there are in Re
number of blocks of sidewalk.
The Ojilderoniiins and the Moonshiners have
been keepimr very quiet lately. u;m which fact
their friends are eongratii ating themselves.
However nt the next meeting of theOiideroni-ins
there will be initiated some new Tnemncrs who
will Ik? valuable acquisitions to 'the band., said
new nicmiicrx having all the qnnlitientions neces
sary to make first-class Cnhleronijins. These
pcI'ltf will make themselves heard liefore long.
: The jays hrve nnanimotislv paved resolutions
! dcnincing the city authorities for extravagance
i in having the street lamr-s lit these moonlight
I nights. The fact is the jiiys think the lights are
' unnecessary even on nights that are somewhat
dark, and if the resolution hud lieen introduced
to have the lights' entirely nlsilished it
' would have pnssed jn-t the same. They think
! the nionuv could 1 better spent in building new
walks.
jay who sings in a choir put in most of the
line at church Sunday night in casting sly
1 glances and bestowing pleasant smiles on a new
' 1,irfl wno ha1 r"'"1e her apiK-aranee in town the
, (loy )eforc Mavbo lie did not know he was
j breaking one of the most strinjrvnt n-les. If he
were reported to lli 1'emale nu'inbers he would
probably have a good many feathers plucked out
of bis nip-knot. All the same, he cays he did not
smile in Vain.
A flntvly jny will act ns reporter next week, and
tho family may expect something rich. She is a
bird'' of a writer, as will lie seen by the follow
ing, which she scratched off and handed in: Once
Uion a time, in the year 1X90. the month of May.
tae 2Sth day, after the nun had gone down, a small
party composed of six jays met for tlie important
purpose ol having, not a "enndv pull," but a "can
dy eat." which was Immensely enjoyed by all.
After having initiated one Jay into our bird fami
ly and a permit to enjoy the "candy eat," free of
charge, we proceeded to enjoy the literary exer
cises, a ter which the Colderoninn band gave ns
a short selection, and with many a handshake
wc bade good night tootir brother and sister jays
with a fond hojic of meeting soon again.

in anv town in the State of Oregon
To those wise (?) ones who trot ofl
to other than their home town to
purchase cheap John trash, pause
ere it he too late; discard tlie idea
of huving anvwhere hut at home
and then onlr of Montague, and
you will have your youth renewed
your mind in serene content, and
100 cents worth for rour dollar
cverv time. No baits, no chromos
no steel or wood engravings of
awfully homely shoemakers does
Montague delude his customers
with, but he lOKS give them the
choice of tne very best goods from
tKe largest selection this side of
Portland, at the most moderate
prices for cash or approved country
prtniuce.
He who tteal ray pan Meali trash
From the fact that I have emp
tied it in purchasing tho above
named gtiods at panic prices, and
also in purchasing the daisicst lot of
LADIES' SHOES,
CHILDREN'S SHOES,
MEN'S SII0E5,
BOYS' SHOES, .
GIRLS' SHOES.
Talk about other brands of shoes
than the magnificent lino kept by
Montague. Shoo, fly, don't bother
me; there is room enough in the
world for thee and me. AVe can
KIT anyono, and when Montague
says FIT he means it, and he is not
going to send you out of his palatial
stores with thoac Abominable monsters
in leather which you may possibly
find in other establishments not a
thousand miles from our grand em
porium, and which makes your feet
look as though you were a new arrival
front Chicago. No, do not make any
mistake when you want GOOD Boots
or Allocs for mother, wife or sister,
the grandmother to the baby, the
grandfather to the last new loy, but
be sure to call on Montague and se
cure what you may require iw that
line. Every pair fully warranted.
How as to Clothing.
When the purse was emptied, as
above succinctly set forth, Montague
was compelled to open another bar'l
for the purpose of securing to our cus
tomers the latest novelties in fine suits
as well as those adapted to every-day
wear. We are now opening up our
elegant designs in Oregou City Cloth
ing, California Caswimcre Clothing,
Men's Clothing, Youth's Clothing,
Hoys' Clothing, all Imported Gooda,
elegant-fitting garments, at scandal
ously low prices.
Montague has had over forty years
experience in welling goods), twenty of
which were Npent among you right
here in IidMinon, and he now propones
to spend the evening of hi life in giv
ing to one and nil nuch prices as the
Ross Granger of Linn county never
dreamed of. Make Montague know
you are going to pay cash down and
no grumbling (the chronic grumblur In
a despicable creature), and ho will
make prices to you all right.
MONEY ONCE MORE.
The people who promised to pay up
by the 1st of Inst January and failed to
counect may find their accounts where
it will not please them. Montague
does not propose to waste valuable
time in hunting up these delinquents,
but will send the most forcible collec
tor he can employ to wile the dollars
due me from these much-promising
and never-performing gentlemen.
