THE LITTLE MEN.-A repo rter of the
Portland Standard" recently while in
conversation with Commodore Mutt.
learned that he and the Major have retired
from the stage and will make their home
generally in that city. They will travel
between Portland and San Francisco. and
their extensive ranch in the Pa!Ouse coun-
try. For the past fifteen years MIR. }. ID.
Mutt, their brother--and by the way Il
man of usual stature-has been superii-
tending the ranch, and herds of cattle in
which they are all interested. A lew
days since the Commodore purchased n
large tract of land adjoining their place
and also 800 head OF cattle with which to
stock It,. On the last steamer from San
Francisco came Il "little man" named
VIM. Yeoman who sold TO Commodore 4
number of tne-blooded horses, which nre
coming via the Sound. These brothers,
whose reputation reaches from the rising
to the setting sun, and who have visited
almost every court and cline are satisfied
to discard the stage with its ilattery aud
popularity, and become citizens of Port
land in the tar west State OF Oregon. Not
withstanding the storms of the past nm
usual winter, they declare themselves bet
ter pleased with that than any other coun-
try they have visited, ana make it their
future home. 1t is the intention of these
brothers TO purchase property in Portland,

EplToR ARGUs:-Often, when
visiting my parishioners, meet with
interesting "reminiscences of their
experiences, worthy of record, as the
following, related by friend resid-
iug on Lopez Island.
Once, when engaged as a com
mercial traveller, for firm in New
York State, he lodged for night
at wayside house where, during
the evening, a party of gamblers
took their places around a faro table.
our friend retired at an ear y hour,
when the tremulous voice of a wo-
man-A WIFE AND MoTnER--was
distinctly heard from an adjacent
room, earnestly supplcating at the
throne of grace, for the salvation of
her inebriate and wayward husband
who was spending his precious hours
at the gamblers shrine below.
The narrator Of this affecting
story, being deeply impressed, arose
from his bed and penned the follow

mains inside the DarClanelles.
