RAILROAD DAMAGED.-The Walla WaIla

more or less damaged also, about one mile
OF the track some two miles this side Of
Wallula is swept away; the residence of Mr..
Warner, Is located near the track at the above
point, and the water compelled the family to

Schnebly, at the Tonehet crossing, suffered
to great extent. On Thursday the water

a well-knoWn banking inatitutinn that nor

"Lass Tuesday" he will say, ''you spent

clerk.
"You took during the evening six
rounds Of drinks with your three compan-

Then you went to Mills and lost $15

vanderbilt's Whist.

The greatest passion with which he was
possessed was card-playing. In former
wears the games were always played at
either the Union or Manhattan Clubs, and
consisted of only whist, of which he was
very fond. Those who have played many
games with him state that he was very
adroit and clever player. He had most
remarkable and wonderful memory OF the
cards after they had been played. he al
vays received poor play with frown'
and praised a good one. He once had for
:. nart,,er William Cooke, railroad man
of Bridgeport. He declared that MIR.
Cooke made the best play he had ever seen
during his long experience IN the game

Didn't Stand tha Test.

A young man read in paper a few days
ago that if You wanted TO find out If the
woman you had selected for your future
spouse had good temper you ought to take
occasion to step on her dress, or snap the
sticks of her fan, or in some way annoy or
discompose her. "If,n said the great au-
thorlty who presides over the column of
advice, s.she betrays no sign of ill-temper,
abe will pross model wife, According
ly the young man selzcd an opportunity
when his sweetheart was rugged in her most
killing array to step on her trail and pull
out about three yards of gathers, with rid
like a peal OF, thunder, exposing about
three-quarters of the frame work that
makes her dress stick ont behind. But in
stead OF meeting the accident with perfect
eqnanimify, she turned round and jSbbed
her parasol in his eye, called him a long
haired lepcr, aud asked him why he aidn' t
wear his feet sideways. He expressed him
self thankful that lie didn't marry the girl
before finding out What sort of temper
she had but the doctor doesn't think his
eye will grow out again.

Abolishmens Of the Presidency.

The other evening in Washington meet
ing of Reformers was held to agitate the
abolishment of the Presidency. The lead
ing splrit in the movement was Dr.. Mary
Walker of the bifurcated garmapts. Her
motive for advocating the movement is
found in her dislike for the President, and
thereby hangs q tale, DIR, Walker has had
o claim before every successive Congress-
since the war for nursing soldiers, and also
was accustomed to call frequently at the
White House to enlist the sympathies and
aid of President Grant She sent her card
in to him day after day, but never could
ATTAIN an audience. Finally, becoming
discouraged and disguised, she sent the
President note complaining of his treat
ment as servant Of her, q sovereign Of
this great American people, On the re-
yerse Of this note, when 1t was returned to
her, was written the following:
Whenever Mrs. Walker will appear at
the door of the Executive Chamber in ap-
parel becoming her sex she will be admit
ted q. s. GRANT.
