AN OLD LADY IN A BAD FIX.-A very
good widow, who was looked up TO by
the congregation to which she belonged
as an example Of piety, eontrived to
bring her conscience 10 terms for one
little indulgence. She loved porter:
and one day, just as she had received
half a dozen bottles from the man who
usually brought her the comfortable
beverage, she saw two of the grave elders
OF the church approaching her door.
she ran the man out of the back door.
and the bottles under the bed. The
weather was hot, and while eonversing
with her sage friends, pop went a cork.
Dear me " exclaimed the good lady.
"there goes the BEDFORD; it snapped
yesterday the same way | must have
another rope provided" In few min
utes went another, followed by the pe-
culiar hiss of the escaping liquor. The
rope would not do again, but the good
/ lady was not at n loss. ''Dear mer said
she, "that black cat Of mine must be al
some mischief under there. Scat y
Another bottle popped of, and the porter
came stealing out from under the bed
curtain. ''Oh, dear mew she saidi hac

The District Sohoolmaster.
BY Josh RILI.INGs.


There il one thing in this basement
world that / always look upon with
mixed feelings of pity and respect.
But there is one man in this world to
whom | always take Off mi hat, and
remain uncovered until he gets safely by,
and that IL the distrikt schOOlmaster.
When l meet him, look upon him as
a master just returned from the stake or
on his way there tC be cooked.
He leads more lonesum and singul
life than an old bachelor, and more
anxious one than an old made.
He Is remembered just about as long
and atfeckatelli as a glide board IL by Il
travelling pack pedlur.
Iff he undertakes to make hiZ scholarZ
luv him the chances are he will neglect
their lurnin, and iff he don't lick UNI
now and then pretty often, theigh will
soon lick him.
The distrikt schoolmaster amt got a
friend on the flat side NV the globe. The
boys SHOW ball him during recess, the
guTls put water in hiz har die, and the
school cumittee makes him wurk fOr
half the money n bartender gets, and
board round the naborhOOd, where they
Civ him rye coffy sweetened with molas-
ses tew drink, and Goldfish balls three
times n day for vittles.
Don't talk to me about the pashuncC
NV the anshunt Jobe. Jobe had pretty
plenty NV biles all over him, no doub
they were all NV one breed.
Evry yung one in a distrikt school IL ;
bile NV a different breed, and each yuns
one needs n different kind of poultiss t.
get a good head on him.
Emmy man who has KEEP a distrik
skool for ten years, and haZ boarded
round the nabOrhOod, ought to be mage
general and have n penshun for the res
NV hiz natural days, and hOss ant
wagin to du hiz gOin around in.

SETTLING THE "NEw NORTHWEST"
The claim made by the promoters of the
Northern Pacific Railroad, as to the eN-
cellent character of the country trav-
ersed by that thoroughfare, seems to be
verified by the fact that SEWERS are
moving to the line of the road in Min
nesota and Eastern Dakota in unprece-
dented numbers. \ late number of the
st. Paul Pioneer says:
''The roads leading to the Red River
Valley are literally covered with emf
grant wagons, with their usual accom-
paniments of families furniture and
stock of all kinds. The wagon roads
from Sauk Centre to st. Peter show
daily accessiOns to the vast caravan
vending its way to the fertile regions of
Northern Minnesota. The extent Ofthe
great incoming tide of humanity can be
best estimated on the main road be-
tween Alexandria and Pomme de Terre.
Two hundred wagons per day pass over
this portion of the route northwest, and
the camp fires are seldom allowed TO go
Out-a fresh train of emigrants arrives
almost as soon as its predecessor has
resumed its march. A noticeable fea-
ture of this years emigration is its quail
ity-the wagons come loaded with
household goods and farming imple-
ments, and are followed by herds OF
cattle and other stock, which in quality
would do credit to any country"

CORRESPONDENCE.

This department of the New NORTH
WEST is to be a general vehicle for eX-
change of ideas concerning any and all
matters that may be legitimately dis
cussed in our columns Finding praeti-
cally impossible to answer each cores
pondent by private letter, we adopt this
mode of communication to save our
friends the disappointment that would
otherwise accrue from our inability to- an
swer their queries. We cordially invite
everybody that has question to ask,
suggestion to make, or scolding to give
to contribute to the Correspondents
Column.
DIR. Geo. NJ. b.: The communication
from Mrs. L. Oakes Smith has been re-
ceived. We publish parts of it, but the
main article is too long for our columns.
Shall be pleased to meet you.
NJ. NJ. NJ: Thanks for the poem and
accompanying letter.
Mrs. NJ. \. H.: You can do better.
You would not be pleased with the arti-
Gle yourself if we should print it.
D.N.: a careful perusal of the "Ad-
ventures has led us to decline their
publication. The Ms. is at your disposal.
The article could be carefully rewritten
and made first class, but it is too hastily
and in some places bunglingly executed
to do the writer credit. We hope you
will receive our criticism as kindly a.
it is given.
Martha: ''Timen and "Rhine" are not
legitimate rhymes, and the singular
nominative does not agree with plural
verb. 1t will take long practice and
much hard study for you to make a
writer.
Miss c.: Bah. No, "a girl of fifteen
has no right to be thinking about the
boys. You'd better be making rag babies
and building dirt cabins. In five years
from now, if you have improved yom
time as you ought, and developed youl
physical frame as you should, you may
btHlil " iOoh oul itI Il nuSDdlfuf Dul we
beg you to postpone the matter for that
length of time. You'll then have time
enough to rue your bargain before YOU
die.
Ambitious :" Your sex will not pre-,
vent you from hOmesteading claim
but you must be twenty-one years old
before you are entitled TO do so.
Mollie: Kid gloves the exact color o
the dress are not considered necessary
On the contrary, a bright contrast il
much worn; but to insure harmony rib
bons should be worn to match the glove
in color.
d. J. w: Subscriptions received
Wish you'd "insult'' us with a thousan'
subscribers. Should have written to yol
long ago had we not been so busy.
&C. c. LOnesome:' Something les
than cord of letters await you at thi
office. What shall we do with them?

For the New Northwest.
CLATSOP.
BIZ MRS. 5. ]. RUNrsl

In the sultry glare Of an August noon,
With the heat al a hundred and FIVE,
To gasp and faint with the slightest hope
To another such day survive,
think Of that rock-strewn ocean beach
With its breeze that comes from afar.
Balmy and sweet, as il from the shores
Where tropical islands are.
Soft and cool, as a spirits breath,
That delicate zephyr signs,
Calming the turbulent, sun-ilssed life
Like a whisper from Paradise;
steadily over the crested waves
The wind that's born OF the sea,
Comes with its wealth OF comfort and health,
A blessing to mortals free!
Oh, Clatsop.-with unromantic name
Thy meadow, and vale, and stream,
Thy cool, dark shadows and crystal waves
Are fair as poets dream;
And well thy merits are known abroad,
For many to thee revert,
As the loycliest spot on all the coast
For people to go and-hiui
To me forevermore-
I'll never forget those summer days
Wandered along thy shore;
For l think Oft thy glorious wave-washed beaci
As the place where CLANS abound,
With the picturesque form of Mrs. Lo,
Digging them out Of the ground!
But It's past-hencefOrth must the graceful crsii
Alone promenade the strand,
And unmolested the clans may rest
Deep in their beds Of sand;
And the beautiful paths where lovers strayed
In uninterrupted tryst,
VIII soon be filled with the autumn leaves
And the oceans binding mist.

Cogned Beef.-The London Queen
saws ITO those who have worn down
teeth in mastieating poor, tough corn
beef, we will say that carbonate of soda
will be found remedy for the evil. Cut
the steaks the day before using, into
slices about two inches thick; roll over
them a small quantity of soda; wash off
next morning; cut into suitable thick
ness and cook to notion. The same pro-
cess will answer for fowl, mutton or any
fresh meat. Try it, all who love delici
Gus, tender dishes of meat"
To Make Good Dutch Caeese.-Set the
sour milk on a warm stove until the
whey separates from the curd. Then
put it into a large, coarse towel or thin
cloth, and tie it up. Lay it in pan and
let it lie, occasionally turning off the
whey until no more whey runs out.
Then put it in Il dish, and with the
hands work it in salt TO taste and piece
of butter and cream to make il adhere
sufficiently TO make into balls. Some
persons like to eat it with sweetened
cream.
To Keep Clear Of Bed BUgs-I send
you my way of keeping clear of bed bugs.
/ never scald my bedsteads as it spOils
them. Clean the bedsteads by wiping
them off with damp cloth; then beat
the whites of two eggs to IA froth; add one
ounce of quicksilver; beat thoroughly,
and apply with a brush. | have known
old buildings to be thoroughly cleansed
from them by one application.
To Keep Fresh Ffsh.-We fluid the
/ following in the Southern Planter To
! keep fresh fish, clean them and remove
D
mouths and bellies. If they are to be
conveyed any distance, wrap each fish
| up separately in linen cloth, and place
/ themin a box, with cabbage leaves above
and below.
To Cook Green COTp.-Cut it from the
cob; put an ounce of butter in the skillet,
and when right hot, put in your corn
and cover closely, cook fifteen minutes
stirring occasionally; do not add water
the steam and butter will cook il sutfi'
ciently. When done, add one cup o
sweet cream.
To Make Hard Soap from Sott.-Tak
seven pounds OF good soft soap, fou
pounds sal. soda, two ounces borax, on
ounce hartshOrn, half pound of rosin
To be dissolved in twenty-five quarts G
water, and boil about twenty minutes
To Make an 4EOIidn HdI7l.-Take
/ horse hair or piece of sewing silk; le
it reach two-thirds or all the way acrOs
] the window. Tie a little splinter t
/ each end and stretch il across the win
! dow, sticking the splinters between tn
: two sashes, then wait for the wind {
] blow and hear the music. A close
! fitting sash will not answer; for it wi
4 not do to let the thread touch the sasl
I, To keep Flies ont of Butter.-Somt
times the simplest remedies are til
most effective. a friend tells us tina
; three generations of his family have, b
! simply putting a small bit of bread int
! the butter on the table, been saved tn
! nuisance of flies getting into the butter
: Three or four days experience of an
other friend assures us that the remed
is effective. He puts piece quarte
of an inch wide by two inches long i
the butter, leaving the greater part Dro
jecting above the butter. 1t Is queer
but the flies keep their feet off the but

A writer in st. Louis magazine saws
that "a woman is preferred as book
keeper in one of the largest stores of
that city, because she is more steady,
can be relied on to be in her place every
day, and is not liable to be absent once
in two or three weeks on account of
some evening company the night be-
fore" In one of the largest printing
houses in the same city a woman over
sees the binding, and the proprietor
says, "If she were to leave | could not
supply her place with six men,"

\ young lady at Charlottesville, Ind,
was some months since ruined by her
music-teacher, a gray-haired old sinner
of long experience in the business. At

Rv having his wits about him and a
plentiful supply of eggs, Mr.: Joseph
Hale succeeded in saving the life of his
wife last week, in Portland, whoi in
fit of abstraction, had swallowed a dose
of corrosive sublimate, thinking it was
Iaudanum. Given over by the fright
ened neighbOrs for dead, her husband
administered to the terrified victim the
whites of fifteen eggs, which completely
neutralized the effects of the poison.

thousand dollars would be dangerous
legacy to leave to posterity.r

VINO Is oLp?-A wise man will
never rust out. As long as he can
move or breathe ho will be doingsome'
thing for himself, for his nelghbor, or
for posterity. Almost to the last hour
Of his life Washington was at work.
So we're Young, Howard and Newton.
The ylgor Of their lives never decayed,
No rust marred their spirits. It Is Q
foolish idea to suppose that we must
liegdown and die because We are old.
Who Is old? Not the man Of energy,
not the day laborer In science, art or
be~nevolence but he only who suffers
bis energies to waste away and tho
springs OF life to become motionless ;
on whose hands the hours drag heavily,
and to whom all things wear the garb
Of gloom. Is he oldp should not be
asked; but Is he active ? can he breathe
freely and move with agility, There
are scores Of gray-headed men We
should prefer In any important enter
prise, to those young men who fear
and tremble at approaching shadows
aud turn pale at a lion In their path,
at q harsh word or q frown.
