AX - AVERAGE COXGRESSMA.
Writing from Wnsbingt4!n, Jo
quin Miller says : If we could ony
get a law passed to keep congress
men out of Washington it would
be a betteiaplace. The annual h.
undation of arrogant congress
men is the greatest alHiction tint
ever overtakes this cityjSiiiJl e
have the malaria here some, ha e
even had the small-pox. Of course,
if this howlung congressman dil
not descend upon Washington wifc
such a pomp and ak, I would mi
If el it my duty to 3$- this of those
who otherwise might be ny
friends. 13nt there is no disguis
ing the fact that the niodei aver
age congressman is a nuisance. It
is g fact, a shameful fact, and al
his own fault, ton, that he is
studiously "cut"' by the best socie
ty here in Washington. And so
ciety's a thing a congressman de
sires. His face of brass is not
accustomed to have many doors
shut against it. He is a little lord
at heme, where his audacity is mis
taken for capacity, his brass fa
brains, and he does not like to lie
snubbed antkept in his place in
sWuskinci!.'an. Of course, this was
not always so, and it should not lie
so now. It woulfl not be so if tlie
people would send up gentlemen to
the federulapitol. Eat the very
qualities which have gained this
average congressnmnJus seat are
iu i lunulas wnien make nun u
tolernble liere. Ha is n. liur
start with, or lie would never have
beaten the ojiit and unobstrusive
gentler 11 whom the best people
at home lirst thought of, anil made
t!;ieni nominate himself instdftdPin
convention. He is a trickster, a
trimmer, a turncoat, a beggar of
the rich and fL bully of the poor,
and yet he corals here to Washing
ton with his lips a nest of lies, ntjd
wonders why honest (ftfid gllfa
people do not want hinf in their
parlors. Let a law be passed to
exclude him from the cnpitolg
21EX WHOM BULLETS MISS.
A curious article might be writ
ten on the immunity from wounds
in action of some generals and the
ill fortune of others, in becoin.r
the ffillets for bullets. No vmn
niander was ever more forward
in the lighting line than Sheridan,
yet he never got a scratch. Sk0.
beloff, who many a tiine went at it
with his own sword, -ki a white
coat and on -a white charger, head
ed every charge with a reckless
ness tha&men called madness, had
as complete immunity as if he car
ried the charmed life that his sol
diers ascribed, and was wounded
only in the quiet trenches by a
chance bullet fired in the air a mile
away. Wellington was but once
hijpthe bullet that carried a-ay
his boot-heel scarce gave Lim a
contusion. Grant was i:evgr
struck. No more was Napoleon.
Of Sir Neville Chamberlain aain,
the saying goes that he never 'nt
into fiction without receivug a
wounilWl the gallant old ifmn
has been fighting pretty steadily
ever since the first Afghan war.
Bazaine was a man to whom for
tune was not stingy in the matter
ttf wounds. ' And Cut-Mouth-John,
in all his skjrmishes, scouts and
bushwhacking was hit but once,
and then by his own brother.

'rtTme. and at last, after fourteen
hours' traveling, I hove in sight of
Blalock Station, feeling consider
ably stove up from the many jolts
and jerks I received. Itwas9
o'clock in the morning, and the
train was to pass at 11 for Port
land. After aheajty repast I told
the landlady of the hotel 1 would
lie down and sleep a little till the
train came, as I had been? up all
night I told her to wake me ten
minutes f before tvie train came.
She said all right, but she did not.
She waited till the traiiPcamo and
came rushing to my room and told
me the train had come, and if I
lid not hurry I would be left.
Miere I was, a quarter. of a mile
isRmi the depot, my IxxTtTtf, lu?f
lost,and my breakfast to pay for,
and the train ready to start ut any
moment. 1 at last got on my

with carpet-bag in one hand, and

put the money in my pocket I
missed the opening, and the money
disappeared in the sand. Down I
weit on my knees to fii$l it. In
the meantime the engine was a
pulling ami the bell pinging. I at
last found my money, and started
for the traim liklReaves before the
wind, onlya little faster. I reaclidH
tho train at last, with drops of'per

after all this, it was fully ten min

I reached Portland wiltout fur

leaving Heppner. While going
up First sl?eet next day a notice
attracted my attention. It read
thus: "A $50 gold wftfchgft
hSver watches for -M , and numer
ous other articles." I thought I
would ti;y my luck, and so walked
in. EeliSSl thefcounter stood $vo
5,-ouffg men, dressed in the latest
style, with stand-up collars on like
mules' ears. They made polite
bows, and a smile played across
their faces that would captivate

They proceeded to show me how
they conducted ther business.
After they got through, I thought
I had truck uhiiRwiftfa. and
so I invested bifUlosit I invested

So, entirely disgusted with Port
land, I left for San Francisco at
niidnigh jfa$pt 27, on the steam
ship Columbia, and arrived at San
Francisco Oct 1st. While the
steadier was running down to As
toria I asked some of the passen
gers what was good to prevent sea
sickness, and they told me oranges.
So w hen we got t? Astoria I got a
good supply of them. As soon as
we got ouj; on salt water I began to
eat oranges. In about three hours
I began to get dizzy-headed, and
felt a little sick. 1 then cramnjpd
the oranges down as fast as I
could, but at last I could not stand
it any longer and up came the or
antres with a mighty .rush. Oh,

ed to go to Boulder Island, GO
miles southwest of San Francisco,
but did not tarry long, as it was
not the kind of a place I expected
to find. Instead of finding grapes
and all other kinds of fruit, saw
nothing but large fields of beans
anil potatoes. Boarding a river
steamer, I went up the San Joa
quin 20 miles and thence tlcrough
a caual to Stockton. It hus a pop
ulation of about 12,000, and looks
like a city in a forest But few
houses can be seen al)ove the tree
tops. It is a very nice place, in
deed. After a day's sojourn I got
on a west-bound train for Sacra
mento, where I arrived without
any mishaps, and stayed one week.
Sacramento, like Stockton, is well
shaded Avith trees and quite a
flourishing city, with many fine
buildings. On going up in the
dome of the State capitol, a person
can see five or six towns twenty to
fifty miles distant, with mountains
looming up in the ist and VSi
groves of tinlber here and tllfcre;
the beautiful but muddy Sacra
mento river winding . througHSwie
fallej; trains coming from the east,
west and south at the rate of sixty
miles per hour, with long cljjf&ds of
smoke floating behind; steamers
plying up and down the river all
tocether making quite a pictur

and
tional Park, one mile from the
main part of the city, is a very at
tractive place, wlipre many pewple
take their dinner wufr with them1
and eat under tho shade of some
big tree. I would go out to some
vineyard-every day or two and get
all tho grapes and other fruit I
could eat.
Wffile going up K street one day
I happened to see in a window this
sign : lionl Y atches tor oi. 1

other place worth mentioning, and
saw many strangesights.
The price of land in California
is $50 to $500 per acre, the latter
being for good garden ground and
vineyards. The projflt per acre i
from 100 to $700. California is

but if you have got $20,000 or
$30,000 it is the place for youI)r
eg'vw is the state for me a fod
place for the poor as well as the
rich.
On my return trip to Portland I
took nothing to prevent seasick
ness, and was just as sick as before,
so I took the usual resol ution of
the seasick passenger, tltatJ.wu!!'!1
never go on salt water again. As
for oranges ns a preventative, Ugh!
I can taste them yet, and now
never see one without beginning to
fel seasick. No, I will never,

Seattle was honored last week by
the presence of two eminent news- (
paper men from a distance. One
of them was Col. Frank J. Tarker,
of the Walla Walla Statesman, and
tho other was L. Samuels, of tho
West Shore. Both of them are
good flows, but neither of them
can hear more than the law allows.
They met by chance the usual
way, (ui Front street Saturday and
the following tiuiruated conversa
tion ensued between them :
Parker Hello, Samuels. WheU
did you come over?
Samuels Eh ?
Parker I asked you when did
you come over to Seattle?
Samuels Yes, you're right; it is
a booming town.
Pnrker-Eh?
Samuels I said Seattle is boom
ing. Parker Yes; the weather is de
lightful. Samuels How is your paper
getting on ?
Parker Oh! I left my wife nt
home.
Samuels They'g got a no
harbor here.
Parker Maybe so; but I always
shave myself. What do yijM think
of Yillard's downfall?
Samuels She don't speak much
English, but she likes the country
very much.
PaiJker -He went -back on Walla

he is turning down the lights to

young ladies off the cars. It is
