At ten o'clock yesterday forenoon a man
who looked as if he would dare to do right if
he had half chance entered an oyster store
ON Michigan avenue and courteously inquir-
cd
!" Do you have oysters here on the half
shell9'
Yes, sir, we do,'' was the answer.
(which half of the shell is the oyster on ?"
was the next inquiry
The oyster man regarded the stranger keen
u, and after minute replied that they were
on the left half of the SHE'LL
i" Ah-um-too bad, = muttered the man, "
wanted them on the right half. Good-day,
sir, can't go left-handed oysters nohow. -"

WOMANs SENsITIvENEss.--Aw woman is far
moro sensitive than a man. She has finer
feelings and more delicate mind. There are
very fow mon who realize this, and in conse-
quence woman is made to endure much un-
necessary suffering. One of our merchants
was going to church with his wife, Sunday
morning, when she suddenly stopped and put
her hand to her head
"Whats the matter?" he asked, startled
by tho look on her face.
/" Oh have got on my brown hat p
1Eh?' calculated the astonished man.
She burst into tears.
"Why Martha what is the matter with
yous'' he demanded.
Don't you see what is the matter9'' she
answered.
Irrturned in a sobbing voice, I've got on
my brown hat, with my striped silk oh,
what will people say r. And the tears start
ed afresh.
He caught her almost savagely by the arm
as he angrily muttered
.scome along You lunkhead y Daabury

The entire explosion Of the humbug Of ma
fertilization, which, as done in Philadelphia,
deceived SO old and experienced a Spiritual
ist as the late Robert Dale Owen, makes one
of the most amusing episodes in the history Of
mental and physical delusions, and will go far
towards overthrowing all claims from what
ever source to spiritual communications with
the unseen world The trial of the Bliss fam
ily of mediums in Philadelphia exposes all the
paraphe1naIia Of those mystic seances One
sub-mediGm showed how he personated three
differeut spirits by wearing three different
dresses, each Of which could be removed sep
erately. A Nrs bliss pessonated the Virgin
Mary Is one time, spoke Irish instead of Ger
man, and kissed a man while representing his
dear departed sister Title" A holder,
more unadulterated, cheap swindle was new
or known, and it is no compliment to the in
telligence Of the community that it should SO
long have passed uncbalenged. The end has
come, however, and even those who take COM
fort in being cheated are not likely hereafter
to be gratided.

WHAT THEY NEED.

The Walla WaIla Union, in It's last
issue. has an article fayoriEg the con-
struction of another narrow-guage rail-
road through that great wheat growing
region. to terminate at Umstills, for
the purpose mainly of securing cum
peting line and check upon Bakers
road from Walla Walla to Wallula.
Unless the freight charges upon the
Wallula and Walla Walla road are
more cxorbitant than have been re-
ported and are nearly prohibitory, or
unless it is so conducted as to be unable
TO meet the demands for transportation
there, we are at loss to perceive the
advantage Of another road In that
vicinity terminating as it viii only
some twenty milrs further down the
Columbia river. Instead OF any
such project, it occurs to US
that what is requisite for that
great agricultural district over there
is the construction Of railroad
which will take its products to tide wa
ter at once. For, the getting down the
Columbia river few miles more or
less. except they get below the unnavi-
gable points in that stream, will prove
of but triAing advantage in tho matter
of obtaining cheaper freights for all
they can produce.
What the people there really need.
and they will see it ere long, is the com-
pletion Of tho Seattle and Walla Walla
railroad, now in process of building;
and when their eyes are fully
opened to tho importance OF that under
taking. and they lend their efforts in
concert with the people here for its
completion, they will then be helping
to build road that will go somewhere
lone that will open out upon the sea
and one that will always afford them
cheaper rates of transportation than
any other route. and at once become the
means of developing the great natural
resources of the whole country and
rapidly ausn,enting ste wealth and
population.

KYRAJAL, Oct. "a general attack
was made on Muhktar Pasha's whole
limo this morning. Gen. Melikof was
in command. Under orders of Grand
DIXIE Michael. the key of Muhkt"r's
position, which was defended by only
single battalion, was attacked on
three sides and captured. The battal-
ion was annihilated. The Turks tried
to recapture this point but were re-
pulsed Further progress Of the Rus
slams was Insignificant, but hopes are
entertained OF cutting Muhktar off from
kars. The Russians bivouacked on the
conquered positions. Fighting is sure
to recommence early tomorrow. About
1900 Russians were killed and wound

spies, and only expected to he attacked

Gladidagh and after five hours fighting
pursued the Russians to Aspstckal.

sides maintained their position. Muhk-
