HysrerIa

Hysteria is by no means confined to
women, for one of the worst attacks
which ever witnessed occurred in q
man. This gentleman one day found he
had lost his all, and on returning home,
he became the victim of laughing and
crying, until sheer exhaustion brought
ON end to the attack. This was quite in
voluntary. But it might be remarked
that even in hysteria such q thing as
fashion prevails, showing that certain
power of restraint may be used. When
was boy, hysteria was the fashion;
and if during conversation any remark
was made to touch a lady's sensibilities,
she would clinch her hands, make wry
face; her eyelids would undergo rapid
vibration, she would give sob or two,

this encroached. on her neck or
wetted her dress, the cure was very sud-
den and complete. During church
service, it was the usual practice to have
a young lady carried out; but think as
a rule she belonged to an inferior class,
whose kind. of work during the week did
not allow them to play dress-making
tricks with themselves on q Sunday; for
if I remember rightly the cure was
effected in their case by the call for
penknife. This was used to loosen the
body -armor, when loud explosion took
place, followed by q deep sigh and
speedy recovery of the patient. So
fashionable was fainting or Mysteries in
church that have lively remembrance
of a young lady who had weekly

gentleman in the next pew. As these
two were afterward married, I apprehend
that this was one mode of courtship. I
am only too thankful to think, for the
peace of other people. that this method
of forcing matrimony has gone out

The FEMALE NovELIsr's HERO. I'm the
old times when literature was chiefly in
the hands of men, women were elevated
to visionary pinnacle; but now it is the
turn of the stronger sex, and there are
few things which more surprise the male
reader than the fattering picture which
he finds presented to him of his own
species in the shape of heroes who to him
are very questionable specimens of the
race. Once more we repeat
there is nothing SO lnscrutable as a wo-
mans hero. Being perfect as he is, he
may conduct himself like the basest
hound, and nobody thinks any worse of
him. He remains to all parties as high
souled and magnanimous being as ever,
even after this extremely silly and futile
attempt to lead the conscientious little
heroine astray. This uncon-
scious homage ought to soften the gen.
tlemen of the newspapers; but here, we
fear, another principle comes in, and
your critic, who feels himself in every
way more desirable specimen of
humanity than the much 1auded hero,
but who knows that no such appreciation
awaits him, becomes jealous OF his imag-
mary brother. II Blackwood's Magazine.

Captain Eads,s Start In Life.

Last December. on the steamship Ger
manic, I PLAYED chess with the great
civil engineer. Captain Eads. stimulated

defeat tba man who had twice connnered
the Mississippi. But didn't defeat him.
James B. Eads was born in Indiana in
1920. He is slender in form, neat in
dress. genial. courteous. and nearly sixty
wears of age. In 1888 his father started
down the Ohio river with his family.
proposing to settle in Wisconsin. The
boat caught fire and his scanty furniture
and clothing were burned. Young Eads
barely escaped ashore with his pantaloons,
shirt and CAP. Taking passage on an
other boat this boy of thirteen landed at
feet first touching the rocky shore of the
city on the very spot where he afterward
located and built the largest steel bridge
in the world. over the Mississippi-one
of Che most difficult feats of engineering
ever performed in America.
At the age of nine young Eads made
short trip on the Ohio, when the engin-
eer on the steamboat explained to him
SO clearly the construction of the steam
engine that before he was a wear older he
built little working model of it. so per-
feet in it's parts and movements, that
his schoolmates would frequently go
home with him after school to see 1t
work. A locomotive engine, driven by
concealed rat, was one of his next juven-
lie feats in mechanical engineering.
From eight to thirteen he attended
school; after which, from necessity, he
was placed as clerk in dry goods store.
Over the store in St. Louis where he
was engaged his employer lived, He
was an old bachelor, and having OBJ
served the tastes of his clerk, gave him
his first book on engineering. The old
gentleman's library furnished evening
companions for him during the five years
he was thus employed. Finally, his
health failing at the age Of nineteen. he
went on a Mississippi River steamer;
from which time to the present day that
great river has been to him an all-ab-
sorbing study.
Soon afterwards he formed a partner.

to raise cargoes of vessels sunken in the

rina engineering, OH the lower rapids of
the river, by the recovery of several

The United States Fish Commissioner
furnishes the following list, comprising
thirty-three varieties, of the different
species of fish observed in the waters of
the Columbia and at its mouth: Spring
salmon, blue back, silver side, hump
back, brook trout, steel head, red spotted
trout, silver smelt, eulachun, anchovy,
shad, herring, founder, sole, eel, lam
frey, sturgeon, green sturgeon, porgy,
club, minnow, sucker, sculpin, tom cod
and ling cod. Several of the above spe-
cies are sub-divided into other species
discernible only by the long Latin names
given by the naturalist. The showing is
an important one in it's line, adding its
quota to the exhibit which makes Oregon
renowned for her varied resources.

Dayton, Hall and Lamberson,


This young and enterprising firm have
very handsome exhibit at the Mechanics
Pavilion, near the entrance, and opposite
the fountain in machinery hall.
They have large show case
filed with fine cutlery, such as razors,
pen-knives, scissors. ETC., and a number
of miscellaneous articles, such as door
bells, solid bronze and nickel-plated door
and window trimmings, locks bolts
and such goods, and patent
sad iron, which would be boon
to any housewife. In neat upright
showcase they present some extra fine
fishing rods and tackle, pistols and other
sporting goods, which takes the eye of all
true sportsmen. On the shelves to the
left they show farmers and housewives
goods, such as axes, forks, rakes, black
smiths hammers, tongs and freside sets.
The rear wall is very prettily
covered with miscellaneous display
on crimson background, composed of
chopping axes, ship carpenters tools,
chisels, augurs, butcher and hunting
knives, surrounded by festoon of log
and halter chains, the whole forming
beautiful background, which shows ex
cellent taste in arrangement. Four
scroll saws are shown, which catch the
eye of every boy that comes into the
Pavilion. They are the Rogers, Lester,
Holly and Barnes velocipede patent, and
are but small part of that class of
goods which this firm handles. They
show number of brackets, picture
frames, etc., which gives an idea what
can be done with the scroll saws. They
also show Sibley builders level on
tripod for which they are sole agents.
At their corner on First and Taylor street,
in this city, the firm have hand
same brick store which they have been
compelled to enlarge by an addition of
30x50 feet, two stories high, in order to
keep up with their largely-increasing
trade. Their store is now 100 feet in
length, with 30 feet frontage, and is filled
from cellar to garret with shelf and
heavy hardware, mechanics tools, sport
ing goods, scroll saws, farming
implements such as shovels !,
spades, rakes, scythes, axes, etc. etc.
as well as large assortment of fine
tools for carpenters, machinists, black
smiths, masons and miners. The gentle

berson, all young men who have been
brought up in the hardware business in
New York City from boyhood, and
have eastern connections which enable
them to offer some rare inducements to
the trade. Though this firm have been
known until recently as retail dealers
solely, they have made arrangements to
wholesale all the kinds of goods in which
they deal, and the reputation they have
made for themselves as fair dealers in
Portland, will be of great help to them
in their new line of business. They are
prepared to fill orders promptly and at
lowest market rates for all kinds of goods
usually kept in hardware stores, together
with many novelties not generally found
in that line.-1slegram.
