the proper point, he made enc OF his
tremendous bounds and l closed my
eyes, with prayer to heaven sure that
my last moment had come.
But that distortion of vision caused
him to miss the tr0e altogether, and ne
struck the ground upon the other side
with a dull thud, without having grazed
me. There he paused and looked ur'
puzzled and growing. l improved 'hS

Glass of Lemonade.

He was dapper little fellow, as tidy
as new pin and as he entered one oil
of the sample rooms on WOODWARD
avenue. Detroit, the other day the BAR
tender mentally remarked:
That fellow will call for champagne
but he was mistaken; the little ieiio~
leaned over the bar and said:
Il want a tumbler two-thirds full OF
water and some pieces Of pure ice in the
tumbler.'
1t was handed him and he asked:
'Do you ever have lemon about the
place"
Yes
We'll, gently squeeze one irtO the
tumbler.'
The sqeezing process took place and
the little man continued:
DO you have raspherries here 2
"We do
well put two into the tumbler.'
They were added,a and lie put his hand
to his brow, tried hard to collect his
memory, and suddenly exclaimed;
.Ah! ye.-sugar! 1 knew could
think of it. Add spoonful of sugar.
While it was being added, the little
man dropped on to three kernels OF
coffee, powdered cracker and a bit oi
cheese and then said
Ifyou keep Madeira you can add
spoonful
The Madeira twas added, the glass
shaken, and the little man opened
long morocco case which he took from
side pocket, took out solitary straw
carefully cut of an inch or two rom
one end and said:
Owing to the prevalence ofmalarlal
diseases in your western country L lind
il the best way to carr my own straw
with me. A fellow kinder hates, you
know. to use everybody's straw, you
know, especially out west here.'
He pinned hi- handkerchief under his
chm, brushed back his mustache and De-
gan drawing. The barkeeper's pet dog
came in when the glass was bali drained
and the little man took the straw from
his mouth and said:
.Plwease remove your dawg to the
rear room, I can nevah dwink lemonade
with a dawg IN the room.'
The 'dawg' was escorted out, ana
when the bartender returned the little
man had disappeared and the glass had
been emptled of even the lemon peel

W r..


A SAD accident occurred ct Seattle
on Tuesday evening, the 2Ah inst,
by which young man named Isaac
Weldon was suddenly killed. Just
as the steamer Annie StemaM was
about to land at Yesler's wharf. pre-
parations weqe being made to fire
q salute in honor of the excursion
ists which crowded the steamer
er's decks. The cannon was planted
on the northern corner of the wharf
and at the moment of its being fired
Weldon inadvertently stepped in
front of the muzzle, as is supposed,
to give way to the swaying OF the
dense crowd. The gun was dis
charged and the unfortunate young
man fell dead pierced in the chest
by the wad of the cannon. Mr..
Weldon had resided in Seattle o
number of years and was favorably
known as young man of exemplary
moral character.

A GOOD work was done at the Fair
Grounds to-day. The gateway has

work each, every week, to make due
preparations for the fair.

We went to Tenino lest Tuesday,
and although we had apprized no.
body of our intention and travelled
in the most unostentatious manner.
nearly four hundred OF Portland's
gallant sons and daughters were
there to receive us. Is it customary
for distinguished individuals to re-
ceive such ovations? We have read
that Washington's pathway was
strewn with flowers, and that Grant
has been feted and petted by aristo-
cratic Europe, but we had no idea
that the custom had been transplant
ed to our western soil. If it has, we
bow in humble submission to custom,
expressing our heartfelt thanks for
the altogether unexpected honor.

A DOZEN or more of the Portland

will return this way on their home
