ALsEA BAY.-Our Valueil IrieHU 1HOHIas
Russell, ESQ.,, of Lower Alsea was in town
Wednesday. Mr.. r. informs us that the
country around Alsea bay is rapidly filling
up with settlers and that that portion of
the moral vineyard will soon be a very i'm
portant part of Benton county, and from
the reputed character Of the soil and other
natural advantages including an outlet to
the ocean sufficient for the passage of vessels
of considerable tonnage and capable of
improvement that will admit almost any
steamer, we have the utmost confidence
that friend Russell will soon see his hopes
for the Alsea futnre full verified.

CATION of business men carried off a
barrel Of pork and two 6rkins of but
ter. But the worst Of all was the
editorial delegation,
What did the editors do?
Why they carried off the family
Bible, and the lids of the cook stove,
and you ought, to have heard the
Generals remarks when he had to
go over to DIR. Robinson's to attend
family prayers.
The delegation and friends often
filled the Generals house, didn't
they?
Well l should say they did. The
night after Cameron and GRAFT came,
Garfield slept in the barn, and Mrs.
Garfield stood in her night clothes in
the hall all night long. 1t was a
common thing to put eight or nine
senators in one room. Even John
Logan slept in the garnet with the
children and C6nklin slept between
two colored delegates from Indiana.
But the General has his home left,
l suggested looking around.
Yes the house is here and the we'll.
They couldn'r carry the well off. In
fact for the Ida week relics have
been furnishes by the Generals
neighbors. Thathas saved the house.
Robinson sent over eight loads of
turnips yesterday. Mr.. Aldrich says
he will bring over several filters of
pigs tomorrow. Mr. johnson
brought pumpkins enough to last
until Inauguration. That is what
brought the General up to Cleveland
to get moreaspoons and crockery
after the visitiA clergyman left.

Grind Your Own Axe.

{ IA great mah young men in these
days excuse themselves from attempt
ing to get a fnished education be-
cause they are not rich and have no
influential and rich relations to aid
them. DR.. Prince gave to such
some good advice. He says: "Fhe
way OF the world now is for you to
look about ands,lee who will help you
TO gent. mat is not the fIgnT way.
Look about and see what you can
do 10 help yourself. Grind your
own axe. Support yourself by hon
orable industry, and earn your
bread while you improve the odds
and ends of time in study. When
you get something ahead, use 1t to
support yourself while you learn.
Ten Thousand men are now serving
their generation with usefulness and
honor who never asked anybody to
grind an axe for them" No young
man with good health aud strong
arm should offer any such excuse.
If he is made of the right metal, the
clear ring will be heard. 1t is not
sons OF rich men who to-day fill the
largest places and are laying the
world under the greatest debt of
gratitude, but sons of the poor, who
have carved their own fortunes and
conquered amid the greatest adversl-
ties and discouragements.

Lord bless yer yes and cabbage
too ! The German delegation carried
off the last cabbage, and last week
the Irish delegation carried off the
last potato. Pumpkins went last
June. The Indiana delegation took
'em, and after Grant, Conklin and
Cameron LETT we couldn't find briar
wood pipe or meerschaum holder
on the place. You ought to have
heard the General talk when they
carried off his carrots.
Why, who carried off the carrots ?
We'll the last delegation was a
dooryard full of women from Cleve~

for flowers in the garden; but
couldn't even find a poppy-bed, why
you'll see them now in the parlor

But still the jackson street man
hesitated. 1t was barely possible
that COWS did not have any front

not like to come down. The two
were then near the meat market at

was sure that butcher would know
for certain whether or not COWS had
front teeth on their upper jaws; SO
he pushed open the door and said to
the proprietor:

A couple of Third Ward citizens

Monday morning as they were start

one of them, a man who resides on
Van Buren, street, asked the other, q
Jackson street man, if cows had any
front teeth ON their upper jaw. The
Jackson street man was little as
tonished at the question, as there
had been nothing said about COWS,
but replied promptly:
"Why, of course they have front
teeth on their upper jaw; how
could they bite of, grass if they
hadn't ?"
The Van Buren, street man SAID it
was not a question OF logic, but a
question OF fact; and if the Jackson
street man did not know whether
cows had front teeth on the upper
jaw or not, he ought TO say so. 81

So the Jackson street man closed
the door and rejoined his neigh5or,
and the two walked along without
saying a word. A milk wagon was
seen coming up the street, and it
was resolved to hail the driver and
ask him the question, as it is popu-
larly supposed that milkmen are
more or less familiar with cows.
The Van Buren, street citizen cleared
his throat and yelled, "Hello!" The
milkmau reined up, and said:
"Go ahead with your tests. lfyou
find any water or chalk in that milk
I'll give you the whole of it,"
The citizens told him to be calm,
as they had no intention of testing
his milk, but only wanted to know if
COWS had or cee(h on their upper
jaws.
The milkman looked at them about
minute, and then whipped up his
horses and drove off, mentioning
some kind of fool that they were.
Up on Wisconsin street they saw
another milkman, delivering milk,
and overtaking him they explained
the dispute. He smiled pityingly
upon their ignorance. and said
"Ot course COWS have front teeth
on their upper jaws-a driveling
idiot ought to know that much. A
cow would be handsome looking
object without any front teeth in her
upper jaw, wouldn't she ?"
Owe concluded.to take that bet OF
yours" said the jackson street man
to the other. Come, now down
with your lust. Put up or shut up"
"Why didn't you do it, then, when
you had a chance? ! never claimed
10 know whether a COW lad front
teeth Oh her upper jaw or not; l
only thought read so somewhere,
and asked to see if you knew about
it for certain. But that the thing is
settled, there is nothing to be bet Oh
as | can see."
90, OF course not" said the Jack
son street man, sarcastically, "of
course not"
just then Mr. Clark, OF the New
hall House, happened along, and as
the milkman picked up his lines and
drove off, the Van Buren, street man
asked Mr.. Clark if he knew anything
-, Y. - ! =,
having formerly been a farmer and
cattle buyer.
"Well," said the Van Buren,
streeter, "do you know l got the
queerest idea in my head this morn
ing about COWS that man ever had.
or other l got an idea that
COWS had no front teeth on their up.
per Jaw; and actually offered to
bet $40 with this man that such was
the case. / don't see what possesses

"Well, if you had bet you would
have won the money" said Mr..
Clarl-
''What " exclaimed both the citi-
zens together.
81 say if you 7ad let you would
have won the money, for COWS have
no front teeth on their upper jaws"
"Sweet Spirit Hear My Prayer"
said the Van Buren, street citizen, as
he brough. cut his roll, and peeled
off tno .Mo lives again AND shook
them at the Jackson street man, who
turned away with sickly smile and
said he could not be always pulling
out his money!
Ignorance seems to be stalking
