4 Printers Dream,

A printer sat in his Office chair, his
boots were patched aud his coat
threadbare, while his face looked
weary and worn with care, while sad.
ly thinking Of business debt, old
Morpheus slowly round him crept,
and before he knew it ha soundly
slept and, sleeping he dreamed that
he was dead, from trouble aud toll
his spirit had hod, and that not even
COW bell tolled, for the peaceful
rest OF his COW hide sole, AS he
wandered among tho shades, that
smoke aud scorch in lower Hades, he
shortly observed an iron door, that
creakingly swung on hinges ajar, but
the entrance was closed by red-hot
bar, aud Satan himself stood popping
out, and Watching for travellers there.
about, and thus to the passing prin-
ter spoke, and with growing voice
the echoes woke: "Come in my dear,
it shall cost you nothing and never
fear this is the place where 1 cook
the ones, who never pay their suh
scription sums, for though in lifo
they may escape, they will find when
dead it is too late; will show the
place where l melt them thin, with
rod-hot chains and scraps of tin, and
also where Icomb their heads with
broken glass and melted lead, and if
Of refreshments they only think,
there's boiling water for them to
drink there's the red hot grind
stone to grind down his nose, and
red-hot rings to wear on his toes,
and il they mention they don't like
fire, III sew up their mouths with
rod-hot wire and then, dear sir,
you should SEQ them squirm while l
roll them over and cook to o turn"
With these last words tho printer
awoke, aud thought it all practical
joke but still at times 80 real did
il seem, that he cannot believe it
was all q dream and often he thinks
with chuckle and grin, Of the fate
OF those who save their tin, and
never pay the printer.

MrouT HuRr SoMEBony. This is q
atory told me by General John Gosh
wilder, one Of the leading capitalists
of California, and one of tho really
good fellows Of that State. Ono
day in the early times, he was stand
ing in pioneer shanty saloon, in
company with great fighter. who
was the terror OF the camp and town.
There was nothing that this giant
could not whip, and very little that
he had not whipped. The big fell
low was sitting near the bar when a
stranger entered. Ho was q new
conner in town. He was not more
than twenty-five, slenderly built,
pale, with big eyes, delicate features,
and hands like girl. lie stopped
up quitely to tho bar and asked for a
glass of brandy. Tho glass was
placed bsfore him, whereupon, the
bully rose from his chair, put his big
brawny hand in front Of the young
ster, took the brandy and drank Il.
The young man said nothing, hut
quietly laid down four bits and said :
Give me another glass OF brandy.
The brandy was put out, tho glass
was filed and the bully again reached
forward, took the brandy and drank
it. The youngster put four bits on
tho counter aud said, easily:
Give me two glasses Of brandy
The two glasses wero put out, flll-
ed and the bully the third time
reached forward, took o glass and
drank IL. The young man paid no at.
tention even TO the giants pistols and
knives, but taking the other glass
took it and drank it and put down a
dollar, Then, with easy manner, he
left the bar for tho door, walked five
or six steps, turned like flash Of
lightning and shot the bully through
the heart AS he walked out Of the
door he said to one Of the hyatapd-
ers

self some luxuries, and save to lay
the base Of independence in the

whether hia earnings be one or ten
dollars every day., lot him look for
lean and hungry want at some future
time-for it will surely come, NO
matter what he thinks To save ia
absolutely the only way to get
o solid fortune there is no other

their eyes and ears to these plain

thereof retired as usual TO bis daint,

or papers and then don the apparel
suitable for . hotel supper table and
evening calls. Several private let
tsrs were on his tshlo awaiting peru.
cal, and one Of these attracted his
particular attention by its unfamiliar
and feminine handwriting. The con-
tents commanded his reading more
than onoe, for they were an appeal
from . stranger to his courtesy and
from Q woman to his generosity.
Tho writer, In as few words as pos
sibls, spoke of herself as having ar
rived in Erie only Q few days before
tn the hope Of procuring loan from
the bank upon certain securities
which constituted her widows dow.

pectatiop Of an interview with the
president, but found her courage
unequal TO the attempt, for, without
speaking, she had gone out again,
thQugh not until she had noticed the
kindly eountenance of q gentleman
who was subsequently named TO her
- the cashier. For reasons which
6he could scarcely explain to herself
that e0uatsnance had encouraged
her to address its possessor in the
present unwQnted manner and to
beg his kind Office in her behalf with
the bank She knew nothing about
business, had no masculine relative
or friend to call upon for aid or sd-
vice, and was Q stranger in q strange
city on an errand absolutely beyond
her power. Despair made her bold

who had abruptly turned back from

day. and doubted not that she was
the author OF the note. He was vain

OregOn's Electoral Vote.

',.r'hcy had lively time in Salem last
Wednesday casting the electoral vote
of the State. Gov. Grover, sitting as II
court to hear and determine the fact
whether or not, }. W. Watts should
have certificate CT election as one of
the Hayes and Wheeler electors, after
hearing long arguments by Col. Kelly,
Judge Strong and Col. Eflingcr for the
Democrats, and ii. Y. Thompson and
w. w. Thaycr for the Republicans,
finally decided that Watts was ineligi-
BILE and issued certificates of election to
Cartwright and Odell the two remaining
Republican electors and to T.. A. Gro
min, the elector who received the high
est number of votes on the Democratic
ticket. All three certificates were given
to Cronin, who instead of handing over
the certificates to Cartwright and Odcll
proceeded to organize an electoral col
lege by choosing j. n. +. Miller, of
Jackson County, and John Parker of
Linn County as his associates. They
then proceeded to cast their votes for
Tlden and Hendricks, choosing T.. A.
Cronin as their messenger to carry the
vote to Washington. In the mean time
the Republican electors assembled and
cast their votes tor Hayes and Wheeler,
choosing W. III. Odel as the mcsscn-
ger to carry the vote to the President Of
the Senate; great indignation was man
itested by Republicans, many Of the
Democrats it is said uniting with them
in dcnouncing the action of the Govern
or as high handed outrage. An in
dignation meeting was held in the
evening and it was only through the
solicitations OF the Republican electors
and other Republicans that prcvented
the burning Of Grover in eiiigy.

of importance has transpircd, save the
appointing of committees to invcsti

the introduction OF preliminary reso-
