JOhnnie's Present.

JOHNNIE sat perched up on the barn
yard fence, his hands thrust deep down in
his pockets, his blue eyes wide awake
with wonder. A novel position for John
ME; ordinarily, his brisk little body
bodied to and fro like windmill; and
no wonder Aunt Martha regarded him,
amazed, from the kitchen window.
The fact is, Johnnie was thinking-as
only boys can think when some great sur
prise is upon them. His soberness dated
back to the early morning.
"Come down to the meadow" Uncle
Job had said, 'when the clock strikes
three am going to make you pres
emit"
Such future to an eight year-old boy!
Johnnie's joints stiffened instantly; he
could not eat his dinner, much less exc
out the interval with his usual sports; his
life seemed lost in that speck of afternoon.
So up on the fence-post he perched, his
blue eyes wide open with wonder, his
fingers hammering great holes in his
trousers pocket.
Clang, clang, clang-the town-clock
struck threel The fence that had known
Johnnie suddenly knew him no more
straight westward he trotted his brisk
little body till, breathless, he stood in the
meadow where Uncle Job was diligently
stacking hay

A Chinese Wedding in Oregon.

The Portland (Oregon) Bulletin has the
following account of recent wedding
among the Chinese in that city:
"For few days past the Chinese quar-
tiers of Oak street, opposite the city Jail,
have been the scene of the most riotous
festivities, consequent upon the marriage
of Mr.. Gun Lock, of the firm of Tong
Duck Chung & Co., in this city, with Miss
Hop JOY, damsel of some sixteen sum-
mers. The contract was made by outside
parties, and the parties to the contract
never saw the light of each others coun-
tenances until the nuptial knot was tied.
Tables laden with all the Chinese deli
cacies were set for the friends of the
couple, and at every turn they were greet
ed by the dulcet tones of the Chinese fid-
die and the tOm-tom. The festivities, hap
PLY for those residing in the neighbor-
hood, came to an end yesterday morning,
a wedding tour. The blushing bride was
placed in Il carriage, the blinds of which
had been closed, and her liege lord and
his nearest and best friends took seats in
carriages behind that occupied by the
bride, and in this order they proceeded to
the Oregon Steam Navigation Com
pany's wharf, intending to take pas
sage for Puget Sound. Arriving at
the wharf the Johns alighted and
commenced clrcllnS around the car
riage occupied by the bride, and, when
they had made the required number of
circuits, the blinds of the carriage were
rolled up and there sat the blushing Hop
JOY, vainly attempting to hide her moon
eyed features behind a fan of enOrmoussize
She was assisted to alight, and the Johns,
with mirth lurking in the corner of their
eyes, each attempted to drink in the beauty
of the cOuntenance by gently pushing
aside the fan behind which it was CON
cealed. The operation seemed to highly
amuse those who stood by, and they
laughed right heartily at the bluslling diff
fidcnce of the bride, strongly suspecting
that the color upon her cheeks was that of
carmine, and not that delicate tint which
mantles the countenance of blushing
Saxon girl. AT last the lady was led on
board the boat by an old woman, who
seemed to be acting the part of duenna,
and when once seated in the cabin her
head and shoulders were rolled in a red
bandanna by the old bag, who took a seat
by her side and watched her as closely as
though she were the maynard daughter of
the Doge of Venice Mrs. Hop Joy no
doubt hoped for joy when the steamer
moved out from the wharf and she ceased
to be the center Of attraction"

for that money, and his proposition was
accepted. The hoodlum Instantly disap-
peared in a crowd of emigrants, and, with
the importance of man who had corn to
sell and owned as many acres as honest
John Bidwell, asked if any of them want
ed work at $50 month and board. An
honest young German said he wanted work
and agreed to accept the wages offered
As the hoodlum anticipated, the emigrant
wanted to sell his ticket, and he told him
he would find a purchaser for it at S., and
by adroit management pocketed So on the
transaction without awakening the sus-
picion of the unsophisticated pilgrim, after
which he disappeared and was seen no
more. The emigrant was. around yester-
day looking for the person who had hired
him, but, of course, he was not to be
found,
