ENoCH ARDEN oUTDoNE.
An Interesting Long Romance.

Twenty-seven years agoa young
and interesting couple were married
in one of the principal villages OF
Queens county, n. Y. ...
The bride had been the belle of
the village, and the groom, one and
all said, would yet hold a command
ing position in his county. Time
passed, but for some unknown cause
the young married people did not
prosper. u.
At length the California fever
broke out Our young friend, i'm
bued with the idea that his fortune
could be made in the new country,
left his young wife and his two
children for the then unknown Ell
dorado. A few letters and the wife
lost track of her husband.
For four years she waited and
mOurned, and then for the sake of
her children, who needed protector
and education, she accepted another
husband. The new family. have
been moderately prosperous. AL
though not possessing large
amount of this worlds goods they
had enough to make live pleasant.
The son and daughter were educat-
ed at the best schools, and if the
wife thought of her lost husband at
times she was not unhappy with
her new one. rr.4-1 4a -...
On Monday an arrival of more
than passing importance to this
family was announced in the village,
and soon the former husband and
father presented himself to his as
tonished wife. He made no recrim-
nations, took all the blame on him
self, and made known his determin-
alton not to interfere with the pres
ent domestic arrangements, and to
Immediately leave, but before doing
so he wished to make proper ae-
acknowledgement, which he did by
over to his son and daught-
er large amount of property.
1t appears that on his first
arrival in California he had
been unfortunate in all his under
takings, and not wishing to write
discouragingly, he concluded not to |
write at all. .....s t... I'D.
Later he was successful beyond
his fondest hopes, but delayed his
departure from time to time until |
shame forbade his return. He has
since left and the tenor of life in
that quiet household now flows on
as before.

Facts in Human Life.

The number of languages and di-
alects spoken in the world amounts
to 1904. The inhabitants of the
globe profess more than LOCO diff
ferent religions. The number of
men is about equal to the number
of women. The average of human
life is about thirty years. One
quarter die previous to the age of
seven years; one half before reach
ing seventeen; and those who pass
this age enjoy a felicity refused to
one-half the human species. To
every LOCO persons only one reaches
100 years of life; to every 100, only
six reach the age of sixty five;
and not more than one in 500 lives
to eighty years of age. There are
On the earth I,0OO,0OO,0OO inhabi-
tants; and of these 33,333,3S3 die
every year, 9l,S22 every day, $3.50
every hour and sixty every minute,
or one every second. These losses
are about balanced by an equal
number of births. The married are
longer lived than the single, and
above all, those who observe sober
and industrious conduct. Tall men
live longer than short ones. Wo-
men have more chances of life in
their favor previous to being fifty
years of age than men, afterwards,
The number oil marriages is in por-
portion of seventy-iive to every one
hundred individuals. Marriages
are most frequent after the equinox
es; that is, during the months of
June and December. Those born
in the spring are generally more ro-
bust than others. Births and deaths
are more frequent by night than by
day. The number of men capable
of bearing arms is calculated at one
fourth of the population.

What I Know About Pharm-
-l3aAGsgla ing.
BY JOSH BILLINGS.

What i know about pharmin aint
wuth Dragging about, and i feel il
my duty to state for the benefit ov
my kreditors, that if they ever ex-
pect me to pay ) cents on a dollar,
they mustn't start me in the theOret-
zeal pharmin employ. ei
If man really is anxious tew
make munney ON a pharm the less
theory he lays IN the better, and he
must do pretty much all the work
hisself, and support his family on
what he kan sell, and go ragged
enuff all the time to hunt bees.
l1nO ov menny farmers who are
so affikted with superstishun that
they wont plant a single bean only
in the last quarter ov the moon, and
i no ov others so pregnant with
science that they wont set gate
post until they hev had the ground
analized by some professor ov anat-
omy, to see if the earth haz got the
right kind of ingredience for post
holes.
That is what call running science
into the ground. - i' .r
The fakt ov it il, that theories, of
all kinds work well except in prac-
tice; they are too often designed to
do the work ov praktiss.
Thare aint no theory in braking a
mule, only tew go at him with a klub
in yure hand and some blood in
yure eye, and brake him just as you
would split log.

leisure, and thinking some of your nu>
merous readers would like to hear some~
thing of this far of country sketch you
a few items.
Portland is the trading point of Oregon,
where the most Of the merchants get
their supplies. It is on the west side of
the Willamette river about 20 miles
from its junction with the Columbia river.
Such ships as come into the river can
come up to Portland. chs. railroad that
runs up the Willamette valley, which il
completed 100 miles, commences on the
east side of the river. Next above Port-
land, is Oregon City, a. the falls On the
Willamette river, these falls afford an
abundance of water power, which is be-
ing used to advantage, by mills and facto-
ries. The falls are 40 to so feet high.
Next above this point is Salem, the capi-
tai cf the State, and fne, prosperous
town it is. Next above this point, is JEFF
ferson on the Santiam river, but short
distance above where it empties into the
Willamette Next above this is Albany,
the county seat of Linn county, the best
county believe in the State.
Albany is situated on the Willamette
river, at the junction of the Calapooia
with the Willamette, which affords the
water power that is necessary and is be-
ing used by two first class mills, one run
ming five pairs of burrs and the other
three. Thereis forty thousand dollar
court house and the county has a ten
thousand dollar Jail under contract, which
will be built this summer. The y. & G.
Railroad has fine depot house. freight
house and engine house here and are do
ing prosperous business. Albany has a
population Of about 1000. industrious,
intelligent, virtuous, temperate, clever
and hospitable peopleas L have ever been
among. Albany has good wharf and
eamboats land at it every day. Aud
what is strange l have not seen drunk
man since have been here, although
there are six saloons. This spea.Ss well
for the morals of the country.
The people dress as fine and are up
with the fashions as close as the people OF
the more eastern States are, and know as
well what are good manners and how to
| treat their fellow man, as the most fas-
tidious in the older states east or in any
direction. w'le climate IS very mild, but
rainy in the winter; rose bushes and
other shrubs are putting out their leaves

Wonderful Billiards.

GARNER, the renowned billiardist, has
been playing extraordinary pranks with
the cue and balls in Buffalo. The E.c-
press of that city says:
A glance showed the man to be an en-
thusiasr From the moment he took the
cue in hand and rolled the balls upon the
table, he was apparently on fire with eg-
citement. His eye blazed, and every
movement was made with quickness
and spring indicative of high-strung
nervous system. He played billiards on
the table, on top of the cushions, in
the air and on the floor, performing mar
yels which, without being seen, would by
most men be deemed impossible. Cyrille
Dion explained the shots intended to be
made.
TO ftly describe all the wonderful per-
formance would be very difficult task.
He sent his ball flying into the air over
two cues held at some distance above the
table; it alighted by some, to US, mex
plicable force, stopped its progressive
career without touching the cushion, and
returning with twist and caromed on
the balls at the same end from which the
shot was made. Then he placed hat on
the table, and shooting the ball over a
raised cue, it descended again to the ta-
BILE, described nearly circle around the
hat and caromed on three balls stationed
in the corner.
Then Dion held ball in his hand some
three fee. above the table, and the won
derful billiardist caromed on that and the
balls at different points on the table.
He then shot ata ball on the table, and
hitting it, his ivory jumped on the top of
the cushion, and running along some dis
tance, caromed on a ball which had been
placed there. Sixteen balls were then
placed in a corner at the head Of the table
and rapidly shooting them one after an.
other about all the cushions, they finally
came together in the opposite end with
out collision.
These are only few Of the wonderful
feats he performed. He would shoot his
ball straight for the opposite end of the
table, and traversiDg nearly the entire
distance itwould, without touching either
cushion or any other ball, suddenly re
turn to the starting point. The master
hand made the ball perform all manner
| of inconceiyable turns and twists, describ
ing semi-circles, the figures, the letter S
and so on, and caroming on balls stalionet
on tie table in the most difficult posi-
tions, upon the cushions, and even upol
the floor. When the exhibition was con
cluded the spectators all concurred in tn
opinion that Buffalo had never previous
| " witnessed suoh billiards
