" WOULD you LIKE TO KICK ME?'


The Fremont campaign profoundly
interested Mr.. Greeley. In those days
the telegraph and mail facilities were
not what they are to day, and the cleo
ton returns were tardy and trustworthy.
He had compiled figures from various
sources, and had a mass of documents be-
fore him from which ne expected to
close his work. numoer of friends
demanded his attention, and while he
was in conversation with them the Off ice
boy handed him an evening newspaper
containing what seemed TO be careful.
ly prepared table of the figures that he
needed. Mr.. Greeley grasped his scis'
sors, cut out the table, made his com
meuts upon the total, and sent it up to
the printers. The next day any close
observer of the eminent statlstician
could have seen that he was deeply
troubled. And he had reason to be.
The evening newspaper had the reputa.
ton of being hab.tually inaccurate IN is
political figures, ana in this case the
totals that Mr.. Greeley had copied we're
erroneous by many thousands. Forget
ting the source whence he had taken
his figures, Mr.. Greeley went to the
omposing.room direct, demonstrated
with Mr.. Rocker, the foreman, saying
that he ought to be kicked and finally
TO the prooi.reader, that he ought TO be
kicked more soundly than all the rest.
The latter meekly produced the original
manuscript of Mr.. Greeley, with the re-
print from the evening newspaper.
"What paper is that cut from?" said
Mr.. Greeley. 1.-THE Evening -" re-
piled the proof reader. Mr.. Greeley,
suddenly bethinking himself of the
character of the newspaper, promptly
with that sense of justice which is one
o. his greatest attributes, turned to the
proof.reader, and asked in sad and
Inundated manner, +" Would you like
to kick me 2"

GREELEY's FAvoRIrE SALVATION.

Scientists say they can tell what man
is by the style OF his salutation. If this
is tue, it is easy TO measure the frank
democracy of the great farmer'editor.
The meaningless good mornings" and
all the preliminary rites of recognition
were little to him. Instead of Good
morning, Mr.. or Judge" his favorite
manner to known friends was to give
your hand hearty shake, saying,
WAL, sinner, how air you?'

DONALD c. HENDERSON.

Years ago Donald G. Henderson, now
editor of the Aliegan Mich. journal,
but then Horace's walking encyclopedias
of politics, had many OF the philoso.
piers strongest points: he wrote even
a worse hand he walked AS badly; he
was an imitator of Mr.. Greeley's toilet !;
but what allied them was the fact that
Don had penchant for political stats
tics. Mr.. Greeley often detected errors
in his tables, and two or three times dis
charged him; he chung to his place,
however, for, said his fellow workmen,
his "cheek" was as boundless as the
Western prairies whence he came. One
day Mr.. Greeley saw him at the exchange
newspapers, ana said, Don, what are
you doing there? | thought discharg
ed you long ago?' - know you did,
Mr.. Greeley; but I've got "a good place,
and amt goIn." That joke was even
too much tor Horace, and official life
died natural death. He only went
when he got ready. One of Don's &C.

''YoU SEE HOW 1T is YOURSELF"
When he went to the Worlds F .ir, in
London, Mr.. Greeley was TO on
board the Baltic. at the foot of Canal
street, at II o'clock, sharp. He sat 81
his desk writing for the Tribune until
very nearly quarter to twelve. Sud
denly he sprang up, clapped on tha
famous hat, seized small Carpet-bag
and pushed toward the door, saying
Boys, I'm off for Europe, somebody

and he was just in time. When he re
turned he made for the office with equa
economy OF time, rushed up stairs, and
without waiting to speak to any one, o.
even take off his hat, was instantly a
work at an account OF the remarkably
quick passage of the steamer Baltic.

"Why, Horace, have you got to worl
so soon ?" Well" replied Horace
"you see how it is yourself" This i

well-known phrase, which has been at

THE FAIR GROUNDS.

On last Wednesday in company with
A. Hackleman, President of the Linn
County Agricultural Society, Mr..
David Froman, and Col. Van Cleve, of
the Register, we took spin out to the
Fair Grounds. We found everything
in perfect hustle preparing for the
Fair. The Pavilion is thoroughly re-
fitted for the reception of articles for
exhibitions; the stables, booths, and
other buildings are being fixed up in
excellent condition and the track was
never in better order. The Society is
having a corral constructed, in which
to collect stock on exhibition, which
will greatly facilitate the business of
the committees of examination, and
relieve exhibitors of tie trouble of
herding their stock while the commit
tee is at work. A full list of the horses
in training and other interesting facts
relating to the Fair will appear next
week.

LINN COUNTY scESEilY. Under
this caption writer (from her name,
'.Sheba," evidently womaiil In the
NeW Northwest gives the following
correct and graphic description Of our
county's most prominent points Of In
terest:
In Southelry direction front Al
bany, and from twelve to twenty-five
miles distant, four promenent land
marks called buttes arise from the
level prairie to an altitude of severql |
hundred feet, giving picturesque and
! pleasing Appearance To what WoulH
otherwise be IL monotonous level plain.
Washington, better known ns Peter
sons Butte, takes Its name from tho
settler first known on Its northeastern
base. Wards also named by Its owner
and first settler, rises abruptly from
the level prairie, pyramidal In form,
and although rather difficult of ascent,
It's summit, where reached, disclOses u
scene of much beauty. Saddle Butte,
south west, takes Its name from It's
imaginary resemblance to an old
fashioned saddle. Gray's Butte, several
miles south, greatly resembles Saddle
Butte In its general appearance, but Is
ern terminus. Its geological form
alton, as seen In u quarry ut Its sum-
nit, indicates u great specific gravity.
The stone of the quarry Is OF cubic
form, and Is piled up In layers almost
perpendicular, with clay seams resem-
bling mortar between cneh layer oil
stone, giving IL the appearance OF rude
masonry, trending nortk east and
southwest. Although Its altitude Is
not so great as that of the othsr buttes,
yet IL seems To have been II great resort
and land mark of several Indian tribes
prior to the advent of the present
owner of the soil. The loose stones
up on Its summit have been placed In
positions that would indicate u purpose
perhaps a means of communication
with each other, or of one tribe with
another, as was custom Of the indians
of the Atlantic coast. BE that ~ IT,
may, the view from this point IN well
worth the trouble of tourists, very few
of whom have been curious enough To
make the ascent. On reaching the
summit, the best portion of the valley
lies below you like variegatcd carpet
sprcrd at your feet, while lands, white
with the ripening oats, yellow with
golden wheat, or green with luxuriant
gardens aud fruitful orchards, smile ut
you as you gaze. To be sure, the car
pet il but homety ingram, but
nevertheless rich enough for Queen.
The willamette river in the distance,
with its broad belt of greene timber.
courses along the valley, fed by It's
many tributaries, clothed I'm the same
emerald hue, adding greatly To the
beauty of the scene. Towns and Will
ages, warehouses and goodly dwell
ings stand ont clear and bright or peep
from ovcrshadowing foliage, and
church steeplcs aud college spires mark
an era in the advancing civilization of
Ia free and conicntcd people.

FUGITIvEs CAPTURED.-Sheriff Par
ker returned last Tuesday with Charles
Brown and Alex. Reed, the two men
who ran away from this place last
week with buggy and team, belong
ing to Uessrs. Bartges & Merrick. Mr..
Bartges accompanied the Sheriff in
the pursuit. The runaways had twen-
ty-four hours the start, yet in sixty
two hours after leaving Albany their
pursuers overlook and captured them
at the Mountain House, on the Dalles
and Canyon City road, two hundred
and twenty miles distant from this
place. The rogues had driven at q
fearful rate, and their team was terri
bly, jaded, one of the animals, fine
mare, being nearly disabled. They
made no resistance when overtaken
and seemed to think that their offence
was trifiing. Sheriff Parker brought
them by way of the DalIes and Port
land, and Mr.. Bartges returned across
the mountains with one of his horses,
the other being unable to travel. The
prisoners had an examination before
Judge Tandy on last Wednesday,
Brown was held in the sum of $1,000
and Reed in the sum of $500, to await
the action of the Grand Jury, and fail
ing to give bonds, they were committed
to Jail.
TIE ETD a hnt,f asr 1f
bers of Willamette Company No. /, of
Portland, accompanied by the East
Portland Brass Band, came up on the
cars yesterday, to visit the Albany Fire
Department. They were received at
the depot by the Albany Company, and
attended by the Albany Brass Band,
were conducted to pleasant quarters
The boys had splendid time, ending
on Thursday evening with ball at
Parish Hall, in which many partici-
pateed and good time was had gener-
ally. This morning the visitors were
taken out to the Fair Grounds to wit
ness trail of speed between couple
of the horses in training. Owing to
the lateness of the hour we are COM
PEELED to omit many of the particulars
of the visit and reception, but all will
be made right next week.
