PERPLEXTNG SITUATION. u A cores
pondent from Coles Valley, Douglas
county, gives us an account Of how q
young Granger in that vicinity went
"sparking' a few miles from his home,
and as it was late when his little job
of Sitting upn was through, his juli-
amer asked him to stay all night, and,
modestly consenting, he went up stairs
and went to bed. The family-as all
thrifty farmers families are known to
be--were early risers, and as the young
beau wanted to impress on the old
man that he was s'some on the gitup1
himself, as soon as he heard the noises
below, some time before daylight, he
sprang out of bed and fumbled about
in the dark for a match, but being un-
able to find one, hurriedly sceoted into
his clothes, and feeling his way down
stairs, opened the door Of the dining
room where the family were just sit-f
ting down to breakfast, and cheerfully
saluting his sweetheart and then the
rest Of the family, when noticing al
curious Look on all Of their faces, heI
glanced down at his person, and found
to his iismay that he had forgotten toI

there were 12 Or Is steps to the stairs

THE OVERLAND MONTHLY FOR
APRIL. In the present issue we find
that more than usual attention has
been given to the Pacific Coast, par
ticularly in historical point of view,
no less than five leading articles being
devoted to western subjects, viz: "Cal-
ifornian Indian Characteristics,n by
Stephen Powers;' "Pioneers Of the
Pacific" a poem, by joaquin Miller;
''Six Months in 40, by Henry Degroot;
"Wild WOOL" by John Muir; and
''How we Did it ON Scott's Barr a
characteristic overland story by VIM.

RELIGIOUS lNTELLIGENCE.- There
can be no question that q greater re-
ligious feeling andiinterest is now be-
ing evinced on the whole Pacific Coast
than ever before. In Montana and
Idaho reYivnl meetings are in progress,
with fruitful results. In San Francisco
the great sensational preacher, Rev.
Mr.. Hammond, is holding nightly
meetings which are attended by thou
sands of people Of all classes. Coming
nearer home we learn that interesting
union prayer meetings are being held
in Portland and Salem every evening
of the week; while IL our own city,
the Methodists have for weeks past
been engaged In most absorbingly
interesting religious revival, until now
all the other denominations Of the
city have Joined the work and up to
date some half d ahundred persons have
been converted, among whom are
some Of ous most prominent citizens.
In addition to the evening meetings,
which are crowded toia perfect jam,
daily nOon-day prayer meetings are
largely attended by both men and wo-
men, and the most intense Interest
evinced. af+ i

To Take Ink Out of Linen.--Im

boiling hot tallow; when cool, wash
out in sOapsuds and the linen will be
rs white as ever.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Times says the striped bug can be
prevented from destroying cucumbe,
vines by planting from three to five
beet seeds in each hill.
Wash floor-cloths in clear, warm
water, then go over them again, with
4 wash composed of an egg well
beaten and mixed with pint OF
warm, clear water. This will give
them newness which will be quite
lasting.
Lettuce Salad.-Most housekeepers
use vinegar, vinegar and sugar, OF
vinegar and meat gravy for lettuce,
but sour cream from clabbcred milk,
and sugar added to the lettuce after it
is cut up fine, make most delicious
and healthy salad.
Domestic Hair Renewer.-Steep a
handful of sage IN pint of hot water
When cold strain it, adding one
tablespoonful Of salt, one gill ofbay
rum or other spirits. Bottle and
cork closely. If a very dark shade
is desirable put a few rusty nails into
the bottle or in the sage while it is
sleeping. This not only promotes
the growth of the hair, preventing
its coming out, but restores the col

In the cultivation Of garden crops
the hoe and rake should be continu-
rlly at work. Weeds should be taken
in hand before they are barely out at
the seed-leaf, and one-half the usual
labor of vegetable gardening will be
avoided. Hoeing or earthing up of
most garden crops is of immense ad-
vantage in nearly every case. One
would suppose that in our hot eli
mate fiat culture would be much
more BENEFICIAL; but fair trial, say
on every other row of bed of cab.

favor of the carthed-up plants.

Druggtng Liauo.

Inc farmer ADDS 4 little sand to his
timothy seed. He Injuries no ones
life; he only cheats the dealer out of
four or five dollars. The State en-
ploys him at hard labor for ten years.
What shall be done with the crea-
lures that poison our sons? In 1866
four houses in New York City palmed
off two millions of gallons of these
deadly compounds. They buy the
meanest whisky or spoiled cider, and
'drug" it into the rarest wines in a
few hours. 1t not unfrcquently hap
pens that country seller drives in u
few barrels of his spoiled slop, sells
it to manufacturer does his shopping
and in a few hours drives back with
part of the same stuff sdrugged"
into wine or brandy, for which he
paid an advance of four or five gal
Ions. A Frenchman, pointing to q
barrel, said, ''Tell me what kind OF
wine or brandy you want, and give
me three hours, and l will draw it out
OF that barrel"
The more costly the liquors the
more certain the fraud. The whole
champagne district is only twenty
thousand acres, and produces only
about 100000 baskets per annum.
OF this Russia consumes 100000
baskets; France 10000; England
100000; Germany 100000; leaving
for America and the rest of the world
only 10000. Yet Yankees cons ume
more than 100000 baskets yearly.
How dull it is in England and Ger
many and France and Russia to i'm
agine that they get any champagne
when they consume twenty-five per
cent. more than Is produced.
Only 10000 barrels of wine are
produced on the island of MADEIRA.
America buys $4,000 barrels, and all
the rest of the world has full share.
Port wine is manufactured in Douro
Valley in Portugal. The valley is
narrow and only sixty miles long
Yet all the world drinks from these
vineyards. London alone drinks
more than twice as much port wine
as is produced, both good and bad.
There is consumed annually more
than one hundred times as much as is
produced. Follow gallon of pure
juice from the press on the banks of
the Douro. In the warehouse in
Oporto, by the aid of beet whisky,
elderberry juice, and water, it is made
into five gallons. In London Dock
warehouse, by the aid of potato
whisky, red saunders, and the like,
it swells up into twenty gallons. In
New York it takes a dose Of strych-
nine, belladonna, and spoiled cider,
and puffs up into thirty gallons. In
the wholesale house in Chicago bad
whisky, stramonium, and drugs, en-
large it to forty gallons. In the re-
tailer's back room it gets another
dose, and comes out eighty gallons.
We receive one drop in eighty, and
that is twenty-five per cent. better
than the average.
