From their nnme a any suppose they use Instruments In their performances. Not so! The only instrument out (tide of mi accompaniment on the 51nno, Is their magnificent voices, 'here are four gentlemen and two ladles; hut they can sing almost us loud and sllr tip as much enthusi asm as one of the Thomases cele brated orchestras. The harmony of their voices is perfect, and when they swing out on a plantation mel ndvont e.iiun-nieeting rmisur. the audience Is so wrought up that they can scarcely restrain their feelings, and eomeUiiii's break out In a storm of applause in the midst of a song. They carry things with a sweep of a cyclone. To he encored three times in a common experience. The shouting tenor and bass are most remarkable- performeis. To hear them is alone worth tho price ol a season ticket. Their imitation of a brass hand, steam caliope and Chinese hand, never fail to bring down the house. We never heard a set of singers that could so well en tertain an audience for an hour and a half on pure singing. Their good natured ways and Jolly songs en deared them to all, and Long Beach audiences will bo glud to hear them any time in tho future. Painting the Asylum.

Ills communication speaks for Itself. Tiiains Late.- This morning tho Eugene express cauio in on tho overlaad's time, as tho latter Is de layed by a laudslido In California and will not arrive until 10 o'clock this ovenlng. There being no 1 o'clock train this afternoon a num ber of Salemltcs were somewhat tils apKluted who had planned to go roruatui on tuo same. Tho following letter, concerning the route to be traversed by the pro jected Salem, Tillamook fe Astoria railroad, was written by tho former assessor of Tillamook county, who has been over every foot of the route and knows what ho la talking abeut: Leaving Salem, tho projected lino of tho Salem, Tillamook & Attorla railroad would run almost diagonal ly across tho richest portions of Polk county and along for some distance, up tho unrivaled South Yamhill river, to the Grande Konde reerva tiou. Here would be the first mount ain contract, but it scarcely amounts to that, for the route follows up a creek at a minimum grade, through low wooded hills, south of Mount llebo, for a distance of eight or nine miles to the Dolnh nostollice. Hero it strikes tho waters of Three Rivera, a considerable tributary of the Big Ncstucca, and thero tho divide has been crossed. Down the Three Itivers the road woulddescend with the valley, which is a moderate grade considering that it Is keeping the company of a coast stream. At its mouth tho load would deflect to the north, up along tho east side of the Nestucca, the percentage of grade and grading being small for about 11 vo miles. Hero It would strike tho mouth of the Great Beaver, having crossed tho other stream at one of several favorable bridging points, below the mouth of the creek. Following up the fine little valley of the Beaver, tho route, after ascending tho West Fork a short distance, would cross oyer a few miles of alternate Hat and rolling country to tho valley of the Tillamook. After the traveler has puzzled his brain not a little iu trying to dis cover where tho ono left oil' and the other began, once on the Tillamook riverside, tho road would begin tho traverse of an interval of tweut.y miles, of a level, well-sottled country, touching neither hill nor mountain until it readies Bay City on Tilla mook bay. This run would be in a general northwesterly direction, having followed down tho Tilla mook until it rcuches tho westward bend of that stream. There it would leave tho river nnd strike diagonally across tno south nralrio Instead of down that nralrio as many might suppose This latter course would involve some trouble in gettlug wirougu some low country, wmcu woum ue summed shells in these hills, I judge the country to have been very much de pressed, at ono time consisting of nothing but low band dunes in the rear of those capes. This singular projection of those points above named, forward of tho main rango is a phenomena which I don't con sider that I am under any obligation to explain has created a truly re markable route for a railroad. Will tho Willamette valley nvall herself to it, and will Tillamook and Clat sop encourage it? CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

It would touch tho town of TII lumook at its eastern edge. Here would bo the first contact with salt water. Passing on north from the town, it would unavoidably have to traverso some low country at the head of tide water, also crossing the Wilson and Kilchis rivers, streams easily bridged, as they already have couuty bridges spanning them. A few miles beyond the last named stream, over alternate pralrio and timber lauds and Bay City, before mentioned, Is then reached. Touching salt water again at this point tho route may proceed north ward, either down tho beach by way ofHobsonvillo, and tho mouth of tho Miami river, and within ono and a half miles of Garibaldi, or it may pass eastward of Hobsonville, through a low gap in the hills, ami gain the Miami, a mile or so above its mouth. Either routo Is perfectly practicable Up this stream it would run for about elirht mil. when It would nbrttntlv leave it am turn to the northwest over on to the waters of tho Foloy, a tributary of tho bouth-Nehalem, but hero, again, so gently Is tho chaugo through this remarkable pass, that you aro not really awaro of it until you strike tho Foley some distanco along Its northerly How. Flvo miles beyond you reach tho Nehalem. Crossing It at tho head of thotldo water, it may bo followed down In eastern bank for a short distance, and then across to the North Nehalem, or tho routo could perhaps more easily, on account of lowland, cut acioss from Its Inter section with tho South Nehalem along the foothills, to a point on tho North Nehalem. a few miles abovo the mouth or Coal creok.

TheJouitNAL reporters have de cided to camp on the trail of the next man who says: "Is it muddy enough for you?" as that worn-out old chesnutis getting to lie painfully frequent. We have been informed that a certain citizen of Salem would lick the edlcor of the Journal yesterday. If he has kept his word it was done unbeknown to us, and we do hope he hasn't paid his attentions to the wrong party. Mothers don't be anxious for your children if they aro absent from homo too long; don't worry about them, don't ask help to find them, for they probably only just stopped to look at the gifts in J. G. Wright's store. And before you Bcold them for loitering, just come and look at the show yourself, and see if vou wouldn't loiter. A Brilliant Affair.
