"WRASLIN JOE"

Joseph Thomas, or as our read
ers have learned to know the man,
'Wraslin joe" arrived in Portland
on the southern train to-day for
the purpose of taking the steamer
on Saturday en- route for St. Louis,
Missouri, where he proposes to
end his days. During the past
eighteen months this old mana
living link connecting the events
of the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries-has furnished the news
papers of this city with many para
graphs.
Born on the frontier when the
now magnificent State of Illinois
was wilderness in the possession
of the red man, and its boundless
prairies the feeding fields of mil
lions of buffaloes, he has lived to
the age of ninety-three years,
leading the life of a trapper, boat
man and hunter, spending the days
of his youth fiat-boating on the
Mississippi river, his vigorous
manhood in the forests of Arkan
sas and Southwestern Missouri,
numbering. trapping, hunting and
fighting the Indians, and his old
age as a beggar in the streets of
cities that have grown up on spots
where more than half a century
ago he shot deer and '.wrestled"
with his companions. After years
of want and beggary he was found
and recognized as the lawful heir
of a magnificent estate, gained and
left by his wife and child on the
banks of the Willamette river, and
now a portion of Portland.
In his efforts to recover that
which belonged to him, he run the
legal gauntlet of the lawyers of
this city and State, and under
went one of the most tedious
cross known in the
history of the law. The result of
the law suit is known to every
reader of the Bulletin, and now,
old "Wraslin joe" when nearly
one hundred years of age, starts
upon n long journey of nearly
three Thousand miles, for the pur-
pose of spending his last days
among those who were his friends
when he was a beggar, and who
helped him when it was not known
that he would ever be able to re-
pay them. Good bye, old man
may your voyage be pleasant, and
your days continue many years
yet.-Portland (Oregon) Bulletin,
May %.

TEMPERANCE AMONG. THE TURKS.

Constantinople is the most tenn
perate capital of its size in the
world. Spending day after day in
the open air, wandering among the
common folk, having at one time
several people in my employ, even
in the biting air before daylight L
never found any Turk drinking
stronger beverage than coffee.
But that is nothing to their great
annual fast. During the Rama
dan, which lasts 4 whole month,
from sunrise to sunset the painting
boatman, the heavy-laden porter
will touch nothing like food, not
even tobacco, and no drink what
ever; and at shutdown will make
up for this abstinence not by
drunken carouse, but by larger
dish of pilau and longer smoke
of Latakia. To by sure, temper
ance is a part of the Turks relig
ion, but is it not of ours And
that religion-an imposture as we
call it-has something very real in
its worship at four in the morning
the year round, its indifference TO
''infidef' gaze, the heartiness of
all Its obseryances, the severity
of its daily selfdenials. Often
have l found the shop entirely
open while the shopmaR was at
his prayers, and l have taken up
the goods to see if anybody wonld
demonstrate, and laid them down
again without aaybody's interior
ence. And how often have l
watched the thin-clad boatinan
kneeiing in prayer on the wet sand
or in drizzIing rain, s'the world
forgetting, by the world forgot"

AT LAST /!

A sad case of hope deferred, the
long delay of justice, one of thous
ands that occur under govern
nents where politics are all in all
and public and private interests OF
little account, came to a double
close last week, at Washington.
The U. S. Senate, on Monday
evening, passed bill giving $685.
600 to George G. Bestor, of Peoria,
Illinois. Mr.. Bestor was man well
liked by all who knew him. He
contracted in 1868 with the Navy
Department to construct q steam
battery for the United States
Navy. The contract was for 1885,
600. Soon after he commenced
building the battery the Navy De
partment commenced alterations
of the plans and specifications, en-
larging the vessel, and the altera-
tions continued till October, 1865.
Failing to get pay for the extra
work and materials he became
financially ruined. He claimed as
due him by the increased cost of
materials put in the battery, S171,-
762. He has been at Washington
several years, watching and push
ing his claim. On Monday morn
ing he died, wearied out, poor,
and broken down with general de-
bility; and, not having money
enough to pay for his BURIAL the
"Odd Fellows" of which associa-
ton he was a member, took charge
of his body for respectable inter
ment. On the night of his death,
the bill giving him S125,000 passed
the Senate.

LITERARY EXERCISES.

The Institution turned out two
graduates this year. The names of
the graduates are Melissa Daniels,
of Burlington, and s. II. Davis, of
Hesper. Their graduating themes
were well treated. The Baccalaur-
cate of Brof. Hoss was an earnest and
able plea for universal education,
and was listened to by a large and
appreciative audience. In the eve
ming DIR. McVicar addressed the So
cieties on Darwinism in his usually
interesting style.
The society exercises OH Friday
evening were of highly interest
ing character, consisting of paper,
essays and speeches. That portion
of the paper read by Miss Davis de-
serves especial notice. This lady
wields the pen with rare ability,
which, if carefully cultivated, will
give her rank among the first of
writers.

WARS OF CIVILIZED NATIONS.

1t is lamentable that in looking
over the annals of the seventy
years which have elapsed since
the advent of the nineteenth cen
tury, we are met with the fact that
war has existed almost continually
in some one of the civilized ma
tions of the earth. Thus a Stats
tican states that England alone
has waged forty-nine wars since
1900. OF these there have been
three with France, two with Russia,
five with China, two with Den
mark, two with Holland, two with
Turkey, two with Burmah, two
with Persia, one with the United
States, one with Prussia, one with
Spain, one with Sweden, one with
Portugal, and one with Egypt: the
others were mostly waged in India,
New Zealand, and Abyssinia.
During the same time France has
engaged in thirty-seven wars, viz :
Four with Austria, three with
Russia, three with Prussia lin
Guiding the recent war;, three with
England, four with the Arab
tribes, two each with Mexico,
China, Spain, Holland and Tur-
key, and one each with Portugal,
Hayti, Switzerland, Denmark,
Sweden, Algiers, Morocco, Para
quay, Japan, and the Roman Re
public. Russia shows a list OF
twenty-one wars, Austria twelve,
and Prussia seven. All these wars
were waged by the leading Powers
of the Old World, and do not in
clude many revolutionary move
ments suppressed at an immense
expenditure of blood and treasure.

DENVER.

The growth of western towns is
perpetual marvel. There is Den
yer, nearly thousand miles away,
nestled under the beetling brows
of the Rocky Mountains, is one of
the iveliest little cities in the
country. Lippincott's Gazetteer
of 1864 does not even give its
name, but the United States census
of 1870 enumerates its population
at four thousand seven hundred.
To-day Denver is brisk, bustling
place of eleven thousand people,
the depot of five railroads, the To-
Gus of travel to and from the min
ing regions of Colorado, the dis
tributing point of a large section,
and in enterprise real wonder.
It crouches twelve miles from the
foot, hills of the mountains, five
thousand feet above the level of
the sea, in view of the most majes-
tic scenery in the whole world,
and in an atmosphere than which
there is none more salubrious on
this continent. 1t has regular
government, and in its
stores and shops, It's newspapers,
the character of residences and
public buildings, wears the proud
air of metropolis.-St. Louis Re

A NATION In DECAY.

The accounts of the famine in
Persia which continues to arrive in
greater detail, bid fair to treat
the world to the spectacle of a
calamity the like of which has not
been witnessed in historic times at
least-the sudden extinction of a
nation for the want of food. This
has really been thefate of the great
states which once filed the valley
of the Euphrates, and it is n fate
which has for centuries been
threatening some modern states
Spain for instance. Man has strip
ped the soil of trees; the absence
of trees has brought drouths, has
slowly diminished the productive
power of the ground, and finally
destroyed thGm-the population in
the meantime, dwindling in num-
bers and vitality. Spain had forty
millions of people in the time of
the Romans, and flowed with milk
and honey; It is now an arid region
only halfof it under cultivation,
with only sixteen thousand of in
habitants, and, if modern Silence
had not come to it's aid, would
probably go the way of Babylon.
Persia was one of the most power
full states of antiquity, and even in
the fourteenth century was able to
support the army of Tamerlane,
who marched without commissarat
or baggage, during a bloody con
test. 1t is now almost q wilderness,
with a population of two million $
about half of them nomads,
which are rapidly perishing from
famine brought on by three years
OF drouth. The worst of it is, that
owing to the absence of either
common roads or railroads, it
seems to be impossible for the
charity of the world to reach the
sufferers, SO that there is really a
strong prospect of the total depop-
ulation of the country. The NOR
al of this horrible story is-look
after your trees.-The Nation.

POLITICAL POINTS.

Reading list of the Greeley lead

calling the roll of the thieves of the

General Bragg, late of the Con-
federate army, is shouting the battle
cry of Greeley in the South.
Hon. Henry Wilson is expected
to take the stump in Indiana in July,
speaking at Indianapolis, Rich
mond and Muncie.
A Massachusetts poultry fancier
has lot of hens that every day
gather and cackle around an empty
nest. Somewhat appropriately he
calls them the Cincinnati breed.
Mr.. Clay says Greeley has done
wonders for the Republican cause.

it over ?-TKentucky Statesman.

The Cleveland Herald offers to
take any quantity of subscriptions
on condition that if Greeley be elect
ed the subscribers shall pay moth
ing, but if he be not elected they
shall pay double rates.
The San Francisco Bulletin gives
a list of California Journals, which
shows that thirty-nine support
