There was some dispute a week or two
ago as to how the Oregon Democratic State
Convention acted In regard to FIELD and
TLDEN. A Portland (Oregon) telegram 10
the San FraDcisc, Morning Cat reports that
action 10 have been as follows:
The following resolution, presented by
Judge l.. l.. Macarthur, was received with
some applause:
ResOiced, That the selection OF Judge
Field rs the staDdard-bearer Of the Demo.
cratic party In the coming contest would
assurediy enable us to carry the electoral
votes a the entire Pacific coast against any
candidate 10 be named by the Republican
party.
j. A. Davis, OF Lynn. offered the follow
ing as substitute, which was received by
the Convention With most tumuItuous ap-
plau-e, aud adopted by an overwhelming
mfioruy, the PROPORTION standing six 10
one In favor ~ Tilden:
KeeotUed, That while we believe that it is
not good policy 10 instruct delegates 10 a
National Convention, thus bamperng their
action. we ys. thiak IL right ard proper 10
express the choice of this Convention for
Presiocnt aud Vlce-President. We there

Feat at his Own Profession.

An English paper tells pleasant anec-
dote OF Partridge, the celebrated almanac
maker, about one hundred years since. In
travelling on horseback into the country,
he stopped for his dinner at an IND, and
afterwards called for his horse that he
might reach the next town, where he IN
tended to sleep.
''lf you will take my advice, sir, said
the hostler, as he was about TO mount his
horse, You will stay where you are for the
night, as you will surely be overtaken by a
pelting rain"
Nonsense, nonsense exclaimed the
almanac maker; ''there is sixpence for
you, my honest fellow, and good afternoon
To YOU"
He proceeded on his journey, and sure
enough was well drenched in heavy
shower. Partridge was struck by the mans
prediction, and being always intent on the
interests of his almanac, he rode back on
the instant, and was received by the hos.ler
with broad grin.
.'Well, sir, you see was right, after
ALL"
''Yes, my lad. you have been so, and
here is crown for you; but give it 10
you on condition that you tell me how you
knew of this rain"
TO be sure, sir,n replied the man
''why, the truth is, We have an almanac at our
house called .Partridge's Almanac and the
fellow is such notorious liar. that when
ever he promises us fine day We always
know that 1t will be the direct contrary.
Now YOUR honor this day the 2lst OF
June, is put down in our almanac in doors
as settled fine weather; no rain Hooked
at that before brought your honor's horse
cut, and so was enabled TO put you on youl
guard. y

DE soto.

few years ago, about two miles east OF
Tallahassee, Florada, was found u ponder
Gus spur of unique and curious workman
ship, the like OF which has not been seen in
modern times. The burr was one and a
half inches in diameter and the har proper
tiOnately heavy. On either side of the
rowell dangled small pendant bells that
gave forth tinkling sound in response to
each step of the wearer-doubtless some
steel-clad and bonneted warrior Of the long
ago. Not many DAYS since, while parties
were ploughins near the identical spot, a
solid and shapeless mass was turned up,
which upon closer examination proved to
be an iron stirup of ancient pattern, as
heavy and as massive in proportion AS the
spur spoken OF first, aud firmly imbedded
in thick coating OF clay and rust. When
this was removed the stirrup was found to
be In remarkably good state of preserva-
tion. The sides represent two Ethiopian
figures standing upon the fOOtresi, leaning
forward facing each Otner, while they sup
port with Outstretched arms what forms
the top of the stirrup, or that part which is
connected with the leather. SO unlike are
both these relics to anything known to the
generations of this day and near the same
place, it is not unreasonable to ascribe them
to the same era and individual. Nor is the
suppositiOn st all improbable that one of
the knightly followers of De Soto, lured ON
through this then unknown region and
wilderness, like that dauntlessson Of SPAN,
Dy thirst for the yellow heaps of gleam-
ing gold that loomed mp ahead Of them in
vain visions and heated fancies, here fell
a victim to the tomahawk and scalping
knife of the wrOnged and revengeful red
man; and. no doubt, some one of the
Tallahassee Tribe, " of which ''Tiger TAIL
claimed to be descendant, boasted, as he
displayed at his belt yet bloody scalp,
that he had ''killed pale face

A Thrilling Romance.

II was the wild midnight. The tame
midnight was off watch and had gene to

over the eastern heavens. Hop brewed,

sandy bed. Bugs. probably, or it might
have been nervousness. \ little form

manly form has been covered at just such
gates, ever since summer nights and gnats
and beauty, and love and June bugs were
invented.

She was wrong. If she couldn't see

"All is lost, he exclaimed: Constance

the Balkans. 1--WE must fly"
He wanted to fly 10 some lone desert
isle, but she submitted an amendment pro-
viding that they should fly to the ice-cream
saloon.
They flew.
To the crowded saloon, where the soft

and the insects of q summer night fell in
