An invitation to the government of
France to participate in the celebra-
ton of the Tooth anniversary of the
battle of Yorktown having been ex-
tended officially by the U. S. govern
ment, the same has been accepted,
with friendly expression of regard for
our people by the government of
France. This will be the first instance
when any foreign nation has officially
acted with the United States on any
similar occasion.

Last week Wednesday the schooner
Kate L. Heron, Capt. Charles Yarn
berg, put out from Tillamook Bay,
having 500 worth of wool on board,
and bound for Portland, and when
passing over the spit the wind sud-
denly left her. The captain cast
anchor, but the current was so strong
the chain of the anchor parted and the
schooner drifted over the bar in a
heavy breaker and dropped suddenly
on the spit with force that split her
in two, and she soon became total
wreck, about hundred and fifty yards
from shore. The cargo was total
loss. One man had leg broken, but
fortunately no lives were lost. The
vessel was valued at $1,000, insured
for 81 900.

ANOTHER CORPSE FOR OUR
s.Cemetery Of Filth.''
From the Oregonian, Portland, April 49,

So it appears that Rev. L. A. Banks of the
so-called temperance paper at Vancouver is
the same Rev. L. A. Banks who violated his
obligation as Good Templar in Oregon and
had to withdraw from the order. However,
he pleads that the offense was "a little one, "
as he only drank cider. 1t was ''the fresh
juice of the apple" that unpleasantly inter-
rupted his relations with the society. The
brother might as well have made a lean breast
of it and confessed that it was the subtle
blood of the grape. We have given him the
benefit of an occasional paragraph lately for
the reason that he is bringing reproach on
the temperance cause by vilifying those who
are better temperance people than himself,
and who moreover are no hypocrites, either.

ward along the north bank of the Columbia
river, to a connection with the Oregon &
California railroad at Portland. An instru-
mental survey and location of this line was
made several years ago, but it is thought
that the same may be much improved on
in some respects, particularly in avoiding
the necessity for considerable length of
trestling by keeping on higher ground.
And the further important object is now ar
rived at of fixing upon the best location for
bridge across the Columbia river. Engi-
neer Bean, who has been with Mr. Ward in
the mountains as topographer, has charge of
the party, and will continue in charge until
the arrival of Mr.. L. f. Cooper, who has
been relieved from duty in Mr. Whites
party, engaged on the eastern side of the
summit Mr.. Cooper will direct the survey
with Mr.. Bean as transitman, Mr.. j. F.
Sturgeon of Portland as leveler, and Mr..
H. \. Pomeroy, recently arrived from San
Francisco, as topographer.

How to Select q Husband.

From an Exchange.
1t has been profoundly remarked
that the true way of telling a toad.
stood from a mushroom is to eat it.
If you die, it was a toadstool; if you
live, it was a mushroom. A similar
method is employed in the selection
Of husbands. Marry him; if he kills
you, he was bad husband; if he
makes you happy, he is good one.
There is really no other criterion.
Some young men that seem unex-
ceptionable, indeed very desirable,
when they are single, are perfect
horrid as soon as they are married.
All the latent brute there is in the
heart comes out as soon as Sensl-
tive and delicate being seeks her
happiness in his companionship. The
honeymoon lasts very short time,
the receptions and rounds of parties
are soon over, and then the two sit
down to make home happy. If she
has married a society man, he will
yawn and SO to sleep on the sofa.
Then he will take his hat and go
down to the club aud see the boys,
and perhaps not come home until
morning. II she has married man
engrcssed in business, he will be
tagged out when he comes home.
lie may be q sickly man that she
must nurse, a morose man that she
must seek to cheer, drunken man
that she must sit up tor, a violent man
that she fears, tool whom she
soon learns TO despise, u vulgar man
Tor whom she must apologize-in
short, there are thousands OF ways OF
being bad husbands, and very few
ways Of being good ones. And the
worst iot it is, that the poor, silly
women are apt to admire IN single
men the very traits THAI make them
bad husband, and look with con-
tempt or ridcule upon those quiet
