PHOTOGRAPHER. Ip Stain in Adams' Building. McMinnville, Oregon When I get home (the dear United State?) I I must sit down at leisure and tell you some of the (to us) strange manners and customs of this country, many of them very polite and attractive among the better class. I watch from my consulate windows the “peons»” (laborers), some carrying boxes and halts which would stagger many of our jxirters, fiomo riding on the “near” horse of a team of three, harnessed abreast, the driver or rider with bare legs and feet, but wearing a | spur strapped to his left foot, which he in i dustriously plies. Indeed, the animals (the quadrupeds) seem accustomed to the whip i and spur, one of which is almost every mo 1 ment administered, and to caro little about i them; the riders never speak to their beasts. The police and other mounted mon ride steadily and apparently securely, but not in ! the American or English style. All persons ( here are erect and alert. That is especially i noticeable among the young, even children, j who are robust and “well set up.” The hands i and feet of both sexes are remarkably small and neat, even those of the laborers and mechanics being delicate and well formed. I The militia and fire services are efficiently , discharged by young men, many of good posi | tion, who are well drilled. The fire service , excuses from jury duty, as it did with us be | fore our paid department. The orders of all kinds to the “bomberos” (pumpers) aro given by the bugle exclusively. i In speaking of fires I am reminded of a I curious regulation of law or custom of the police. When a fire breaks out in shop or dwelling the owner or occupant is promptly arrested, his guilt as an incendiary being pre sumed, and be isl^eld for examination, or, in some favorable cases, held to bail, un il be can explain the circumstances or prove how it was that he did not fire his own bquse or tenement. The presumption of innocence ob taining at the common law does not seem, at I least in such cases, to exist here, that pre sumption being reserved and the guilty act ! assumed. Speaking of local affairs, I saw some days ago a considerable body of tho municipal police in full blue uniform, carrying rifles with fixed bayonets, white gloved, helmeted and with a drum or two, marching in tho center of the city. Oil inquiring tho reason for their parade, I was informed that it was for the purpose ot making public a govern mental decree. This was the reappointment for tlireo years of the present efficient “in-’ tendente,” or governor of this province. The decree for such purpose is road aloud by the officer in command of tho detachment¡’at sev eral principal points in the city, and then pub lished in the papers. I think it a good plan. I want to tell the Detroit people bow to secure their saddle boms on dismounting. Get a short strap with double buckles and strap the fore feet of the animal together just above the pastern. So they do here, w here they ride a great deal, and then leave the horse standing for any lime in tho public street without tying.—Chili Cor. Detroit Free Press. _ _____________ Scene in a London Street. Here is a large dealer in women’s garments, standing on a platform in the principal clothes Horse Shoeing exchange, and around him a crowd of buyers. And plow work a specialty. Ou either side of him, also mounted on the platform, are liis two daughters, good looking —o— young Jewess maidens. 1 liey act as models. “Now, my dears, ’ere’s a dress for three bob Also manufacture the an<l a buck.

Summer aimu uients aro very dull, but • hiring t to r ynl ir season there aro more iiovellit - in Paris, more really new things, than can be found i i any other center in tbe univers *. For inst ance, at the circus, which has j'.i -c dosed is doors, tboro has been a very gre.i: nir-cess recorded by a largo troop of Sp.t’ iards, who gave a show illustrating life inSvvi.lc, and intro iu e l dancing, singing, mandolin playing, and about everything elso that w’.i» charact 'i istie of Spain. The whole thing wound up with a bull light which I think vas the fuqpiest thing I ever saw. Swarms of j»copl u>nt. to see it and roared thorns. Ives hoarse night after night. Fit t, there was a real bull, two or three vears old, and just beginning to grow vicious. Hi- horns had been cut off. and long rubber ones substituted so cleverly that only those •oil the inside’’ could possibly comprehend lhe dcceptic n. The toreadors were supplied with the kind of frame and canvas horses wo 'iavo nil seen in stage burlesques. They waved red cloths at tlie bull ami punched him up wiih their wooden lances. Now and du n ho would make a charge on tire torea dors und knock them l ight and left with a degree of violence that must have shaken them up considerably, in spite of tbe rubber horns. It was one of the most convulsing <ight.s ever presented in an entertainment, and it drew crowds. Now (be circus has de parted, and the building is used as a big furki.-h bath with a bu.ro plunge where tbe ing used to be.—Cor New York Mail and Express. The first thing that strikes the English visitor to the French “Ministere de la Guerre” is tlie contrast it presents to the English war office. Tho latter is a little squat and dirty double house a dozen yards back front Pall Mall, resembling in its exte rior, both iu condition uud construction, a huge rabbit warren. Tho former is a magnificent new stone building, with brood flights of marble steps, tilled with frescoes and paintings, scarlet and gilt furniture, and suites of imposing reception rooms leading one into the other through large uialio ¡any folding doors. Into the last of these suites I was shown to uwult the now fatuous French minister. The moment lie entered the room one saw clearly how mistaken is the common conception of Ids personality. He is a short man, rather stoutly built, with brown hair, brown beard, rather a red face; above »ill tilings quiet looking al most to contmonplaceness. Ilis mother was an Ihi- lishwomau, his aunt is living nt Ixiwes, and except for the slight ixilnt at his beard he himself would bo taken for an Englishman anywhere. He wore the ordinary French civilian’s dress of black frock coat and trousers, with only the single red spot in his buttonhole. This, by the way, was also the dress ot half a dozen generals, who seemed to per form a sort of special duty by lieing present about the “ininistere.” In man ners Gen. IJoulr.nger is not more striking than hi appearance. He speaks slowly, like most soldiers, but without much gesture, and without much force either of voice or language.—Pall Mall Gazette. Shooting; Soldiers Already Wounded. The enemy would not intentionally shoot a man already wounded, knowing him to be such. Quite tho contrary. When a fugitive from ‘.he enemy's lint was descried and it was plain that lie war wounded no decent soldier would aim at him. lie might, however, be wounded again by one of the random bullets with which the air was filled. Besides, the battlefield at times was so obscured by smoke that it was not easy to tell whether the isolated figures moving in the rear of the enemy’s line were wounded 01 were mere runaways; and any soldiei would rattier shoot a skedaddler from the enemy's line than one who stuck to hi; comrades and his colors. It happened, therefore, that a large proportion ot the seriously wounded were wounded more than once. While limping or crawling tu the rear they would, perhaps, have tc cross open or much exposed ground while on their way. One of the awfulest in stances of tins within the writer’s ex perience was at Antietam, where a dead Confederate was found after the battle hanging Ijead first over a fence at Sunken Laue, his laxly swollen by the sun and a* full ot Union bullets as it the lead had been peppered at him. Tlie poor fellow probably had first been wounded, and then, in tlie act of climbing the fence in order to escape to tho rear, had been killed, and while hanging there dead lind been shot at repeatedly by different Federal«, who each on discovering him for the first time would be unable through tlie smoke to see that lie was already dead. —T.

Hi« Early Ambitious and Deteuts—The Epic Poem Laid Aside for a Novel—A Story with a Moral for Budding Ge- uiuses. Old Andy Whitney, tho dime novel writer, is a well known character about the cheap publishing houses on the €*ast side. While the Columbia college boys were astonishing their audiences with learned addresses at tbe re rent commencement, old Andy turned to the writer and said: “All very beautiful, eh? What bright young faces those fellows have, and how different they will be by this time next year. 1 have been there niyaelf. “Thirty-five years ago I took the highest honors in English literature; so when I faced the world 1 had fully made up my mind that 1 was tbe coming American author. “After graduating I t(x»k a couple of months’ rest to recru t my mental forces and at the same time to formulate literary projects. At first I scorned to think of turning my pen to anything less noble than an epic poem. When 1 thought over lhe subject matter of my projected epic, however, I found the rev olution was the only event in our history which was grand enough for me. I saw that a great amount of preliminary reading must be done. HIS FIRST NOVEL. “So 1 laid aside this project and resolved to write a novel, which required only imagiiu • tion and could be dashed off with ease. I felt it somewhat degrading, still I was consoled by the remembrances that some very toler able men in English literature had devoted their talents to story writing. “My novel was begun immediately after vacation and was finished in a month. It was indeed a beautiful story, imbedded in a Lx>wer of rhetorical roses. With the manuscript in my rachel, I hastened to Now York. I se lected a publisher and sent him the manu script by mail, with a note stating my terms in the stiffest manner and grandly giving him three days to decide. “Three days {Missed without an answer. 1 waited a week, two weeks, three weeks, and then a note came informing me that the man uscript ‘was not available, though this did not imply that it might not possess merit.’ “I thought that he meant by this that the story was good, but he could not afford to pay my price. I did not know that the word ‘unavailable’ in publishing and newspaper circles meant ‘no good.’ I found it out when five other publishers and magazine editora rejected my manuscript with the same formula. “ unavailable ” again . “Meantime my funds were giving out. The thought of doing newspaper work occurred to me. At first I was horrified at descending so low. 1 blushed for myself when forced by n ressity. I wrote an editorial on ‘The Brotherhood of Nations.’ i finished it, und adorning it with a pretty blue ribl»on, made my way to the editorial rooms of a news paper. Handing it to tbe editor I stepped back a considera tile distance, wishing to avoid the coining congratulation. “The editor hastily glanced over tbe first two pages. I heard distinctly the words ‘rot,’ ‘trash.’ Then he said politely: ‘Very nice article, but—er—we have too much mat ter on hand and don’t think your article would be exactly available.’ “That was enough for me. I understood the meaning of ‘unavailable.’ I rushed out in a rage, determined never agnin to honor such low creatures with any product of my pen. “This determination changed when money ran out, but the terrible word ‘unavailable’ greeted me every where. Then, for the first time, it occurred to me that I might not lie a literary genius after all. This was my salva tion, for it induced niq to turn my pen to any work that offered. “I tried a continued story for one of the cheap weeklies. It was nearly the same as the one refused by the publishers. It was ac cepted, and thereafter I found markets for my work in tbe story papers and with the publishers of dime novels. Tbe flowers of speech which caused the editor to exclaim ‘trash’ were trump cards in my new field. “I settled down to this kind of story writing, and liavo since earned a subsistence by it. Rather different sort of career from that which 1 pictured to myself on graduation day, isn’t it?”—New York Commercial Advertiser. The death of Kato Castleton's leading woman in a railroad accident on the plains is the first accident of tlie sort within my recollection. In spite ot the amount of traveling they do one never hears of theatrical people being burned up or smashed up or otherwise visited with the casualties that givo the accident insurance companies a reason for existing. I have heard now and then—and very few ant’ far between the cases have been—of their Ixiing a little bruised or shaken up, but these accidents have at most been triflin' ones.

Inter Ocean “Ctubstone Crayons." W. J. M u E lb , Maoou, G* How’s Your Liver? AT STRATFORD ON AVON. Dr. Holmes Tells of His Visit to the Home of Shakespeare. My previous visit was a hurried on«. I took but a glimpse and then went on my way. Now, for nearly a week I was a resident of Stratford on Avon. How shall I describe the perfectly ideal beauty of tho new home in which I found myself? It is a tine house, surrounded tjy delightful grounds which skirt the banks of tho Avon for a considerable distauce and come close up to the inclosure of the Church of the Holy Trinity, lieneath tho floor of which lie tlie mortal remains of Shake speare. The Avon Is one of those narrow Euglish rivers in which half a dozen boats might lie side by sido, but hardly »vide enough for a race between two rowing abreast of each other. Just hero the Avon is comparatively broad and quiet, there lieing a dam a little lower down the stream. The waters were a perfect mir. ror, as I saw them on ono ot the still days we had at St’ atford. I <?.o not remember ever before seeing cows walking with their legs in the air, as I saw them reflected in the stream. Along the banks the young people were straying. I wondered If tho youthful swains quoted Shakespeare to their lady loves. Could they help recalling Romeo and Juliet? It is quite impossible to think of any human being growing up in this place which claims Shakespeare as its child, about the streets of which he ran as a boy, on the waters of which he must have floated, without having his Image ever present. Is it so? There aro some boys from 8 to 10 or 12 years old, fish ing in the Avon, close by the grounds of “Avonbank," the place at which we are staying. I call to the little group: “I say, boys, who was this man Shakespeare people talk so much about?” Boys turn •round and look up with a plentiful lack <.f intelligence in their countenances. ‘•Don’t you know who lie was nor what he was?” Boys look at each other, but confess ignorance. Let us try the uni versal stimulant of human faculties. "Here arc some pennies for the boy that will tell me what Mr. Shakespeare was.” The biggest boy finds hN tongue at last. "He was a writer—he wrote plays." That was as much as I could get out of the youngling. O. I remember meeting some boys under the monument upon Bunker Hill, and testing their knowledge ns I had that of the Stratford boys. “What is this great stono pillar here for?” I asked. "Battle fought here—great battle.” “Who fought?” “Americans and British." (I never hear the expression Britishers.) "Who was tho general on the American side?” “Don’t know—Gen. Washington or somebody." What is an old battle, though it may have settled the destinies of a nation, to a game of baseball between the Boston and Chicago nines which is to come off to-morrow, or to a game of mar bles which Tom and Dick are just going to play together under the shadow of the great obelisk which commemorates the conflict?—Dr. Holmes in The Atlantic. Tlie “Engagement Dinner." A feature of social life that has been tn existence in Philadelphia for a long time and that is also practice«! somewhat in fashionable circles elsewhere, is the ‘ ‘en gagement dinner." Nothing can go on or off in Philadelphia without a dinner. A din ner is given when a girl makes her debut, sho is given a dinner on tho ove of her marriage, the bridegroom gives a farewell bachelor dinner, they are given a dinner on returning from their trip and they are expected to give a dinner in return. These dinners to announce engagements are usu- nil' though not always, given by a rela th c of the girl. Generally the purpose is »lyly known, but sometimes the guests, or some of them, at least, are surprised. Tlie father or nearest mulo relative of the lady usually makes the announcement at tho close of the dinner end a pretty practice sometimes indulged is for each guest to pick up a flower and throw it at the flaucee, who is thus met with a rose shower from all sides of tho tablo. On this occasion nlso the bridegroom elect o'ten kisses his mother-in-law elect, and the father of the lienedict in tarn kisses tho fiancee.—Philadelphia Times. Yachting a* a Sport Pnr Excellence, Yachting Is grown to be tho sport par excellence of tlie idlo rich. It has that unspeakable charm of exclusiveness, owing to Its ruinous expense. More new vessels linvo been ordered this season than ever before, but there is not a disposition to build steam yachts. They aro not so expensive ns to tax the resources of tho wealthy—for New York contains a sur prisingly large number who are really em barrassed by the sheer amount of their money—but the Incidents of life in them ' -e unpleasant. The noise and smell are tlie same as those of a steamer. The dis cipline, with so much machinery to man age, is extremely straight. The posses sion of a steam yacht is said, by those who own such craft, to be a fact which puts its proprietor under a sense of obli gation to make long and out of the way voyages, whether he wants to do so or not; el«e he will incur the imputation of not lieing like Cnpt. de Merrimac, “a sad sea dog," or his vessel will be rated unsafe or unmanageable.—Brooklyn Eagle. A Bobber nt HI» Devotion». When General Martinez, cf Mexico, was fighting against Maximilian, he and his soldiers were in the habit of taking what they wanted from the people, even going so far ns to levy on the treasures of the churches. One day tiis sacristan of a certain church found two of the soldiers from the r.rmy of Martínez on their knees before the altar of Our Lady of Guada lupe. The shrine was covered with coins and jewels placed by devotees ou offering up prayer for the safety of absent ones or In gratitude for deliverance from some peril. And one of the “macheteros” was praying like this: “.My dear, holy lady! I’m a poir boy. I've been in tho r.riny a year, and I haven’t made anything so far. I’ve a very poor family. They may lie starving. I’m oblige«! to take some of these precious things. It I have gtxxl luck In robbing somo other place I’ll return these.” So say ng he arose frota his knees, walked up and coolly swept the shrine <it the valuables.—New York Tribune. Brrr In Spain.
