THE LAST SENSATION:

Engagement broken: An Iowa paper
tells Of two lovers who were permanently
separated by the interposition of a cold
cloud of realism" Being freely interpre-
ted this means probably that they were not
kindred souls. The circumstances recalls
the instance of q romantic young lady who
had very fine head of hair. One evening,
when her affianced stood gazing very in
quisitively at it in the midnight, she said,
with much feeling, John, are you thinking
that each one of these hairs is like golden
cord binding you to happiness?" We'll,
no, -. he answered mechanically, Il was
thinking what nice mosquito net they
would make. .Ys-sr 5 49,. ss7ex

Minnesota Wheat i'm Glasgow.

The 300, 900 bushels of heatshipped from
Orleans, has arrived at Glasgow, Bcotlind. in
fine condition, sound and sweet. This wheat.
it will be remembered, left St. Paul in barces
for New Orleans on the 7th of June, on it's ar
rival at New Orleans when it was examined.
there was no damage found, although tho ship
ment had passed through oil kinds of climate,
by the peculiar atmospheric Conditions. Tie
wheat on being transferred from the barges to
the ocean vessels, was forcible witness az to
the lies that had bsen perpetrated by the inter-
ests inimical to the river route, and nov the re-
ports from Glasgow furnish additional proofs

SENTIMENTAL sympathy with the cruel
and despotic government Of Rrussia, is
quite too common among certain class of
Americans. Such people should inform
themselves of the horrible expressions and
abuses of tyranny under which that unfor-
tunate country groans, that explain, while
they do not justify, Nihilism, and that as
the London Telegraph declares, "serve to
fan the fires of disafection and revolt that
are even now flaming in thousands of Rus
sian breasts, may at any moment burst forth
with irresistible fury, consuming to ashes
the innocent as well as the guilty.

Sitting Bull has, ut last, been safely
Gagged at Fort Buford. He was in hun
cry and sullen condition, but will probably
feel in better spirits after living for a time
upon generous nations. The talk at this
late day Of Furnishing him Or Rain-in-the-
Face, for the Custer massacre, is probably
without foundation. So long as he behaves
himself he will be regarded as an ordinary
prisoner Of war.

A Chinese store on Chenamus
street has a heavy stock OF fish, craw-
fish, ducks, crows, oysters, bugs, ETC.,

and imported 10 Oregon. In answer
to our interrogation the boss OF the
shop said the Chinaman liked that
sort Of grub better than anything he
could get in Amelica. We presume it
is upon the same principle as that
which prompted the man from Wyo-
ming TO ask the barkeeper at the
Fifth Avenue in New York for some
liker that d make him feel ike kick
ing his grandmother. He wanted TO
feel at home once more. Well, If we
were in China, and that was the only
kind of grub offered to us, we should
undoubtedly want something such as
we get in Astoria, to make US feel
like being at home After all, this
squeamishness about diet is a good
deal owing to how ana where man is
raised. The Chinaman perhaps has
as much right to be fastidious here as
an American would over there; and it
can no longer be doubted but that 1t
