Clarke County Fair.

The weather on the opening day, Tues
day, was anything but promising, being
threatening and showery, and of course had
tendency to check active work. Yester-
day the sun shone out in favor of the insti.
tation, and work was renewed with vigor.
The entries, delayed by the storm, are not
all in yet, and some things go in for the first
time to-day, but the main portion are duly
placed, and ready for the public gaze. We
do not have time nor space to write the ex-
hbition up in full this week, but we can
say that though in the States we have seen
many larger fairs in counties where thepe
pie numbered half of this entire Territory's
population, none had better or nicer dis
play of vegetables, fruits, grains, butter,
needle work and fancy goods generally. The
display of stock and agricultural machinery
is limited. but excellent so far as they 90.
But all things on exhibition are well worth
going to see.

NARROW FscAPE-J. J. ellis, who re-.
Gently went from here to Dayton to work on
the railroad, has had some experience since
arriving there, which the Chronicle relates
as follows: "Mr ellis, employed on the
depot building was wounded by slice CHI
sci or slick, one day this week. The chisel,
which is very wide. and sharp and about
two feet long fell from scaifold above and
striking Mr.. ellis between the shoulders,
ripped his coat down the back, cut both his
suspenders and inflicted wound about two
inches long in his back 1t was indeed a
narrow escape"

THE WEATHER furnishes an item this
week, of new kind. A cold wave seems
to have come down upon the northwest
coast, for yesterday there were two inches
of snow in the 'Walla Walla country, snow
up the Willamette Valley, and snow over
on Puget Sound. Here there was a hard
frost, the first Of the season. This snap is
altogether unprecedented for the season of
the year.

An Intelligent Bear.

The captain of a Greenland whalcr,
being anxious to procure bear with
out damaging the skin, made trial of
the stratagem of laying down the moose
of a rope in the snow and placing II
piece of meat within it. A bear was
soon enticed to the spot by the smell of
the meat. He saw the bait, approached
and seized it in his mouth, but his foot
at the same time, by a jerk of the rope,
got entangled i'll the moose he pushed
it off his paw and retired. After hav
ing eaten the piece of meat, which he
carried away with him, he returned.
The moose, with another bait, had been
replaced he pushed the rope aside
and again walked off. A third time
the moose was laid, but, excited to
more caution by the evident Observa-
ton of the bear, the sailors buried the
rope beneath the snow and laid the
meat in a deep hole in the centre.
Once more the bear approached, and
the sailors were hopeful of their sue
cess but bruin, more sagaciOus than
they expected, after snuf1ing about the
place for IL few moments, scraped the
snow away with his paw, threw the
rope aside, and again escaped with his
prize.

Many years ago when Mr.. and Mrs.
s. C. Hall, the famous writer's, visited
Ireland, a bright boy offered to be
their guide. Returning home Mr.. Hall
took IA flask from his pocket and offer
ed some whiskey to the lad. As he
refused, Mr.. Hall to test him offered
him twenty-five cents, then sixty, then
a, dollar, and then i've, but the boy,
though his jacket was ragged, remain
ed firm, and pulling temperance med
al from his pocket said: For all the
money your Honor is worth | would
not break my pledge" The medal had
been given him by father on his dy-
ing bed, who used to be II drunkard,
but had become sober man through
the total abstinence movement. Mr..
Hall threw the flask into the lake
beside which they stood, and both
were ever after devoted tectotalers,
working with voice and pen. The
trmncss of a boy brought two noble
workers into the ranks.

up so tamefy as before with insolence
and rude assaults, and they are able to
run a closer race for all the posts under
government, once monopoliZed by those
of winter skins and partial or total Eu-
ropean ancestry. And as this latter
class increases. from various causes,
and is pushed more and more to the
wall by the natives, who can work
more cheaply, and are more docile and
temperate, their love for them, it may
well be supposed, does not grow. The
friction is naturally greatest between
those nearest on level-between the
darker, more shiftless, more immoral
class of Eurasians, and the enterprising
natives, who, by greater cleverness,
patience and industry, easily pass be-
yond them. No disturbance can arise
so long as the British government with
its strong arm dominates the land but
any favors shown to one class, to the
prejudice of the other, are closely
watched, criticised and protested
against by the newspaper organs of
those who think themselves aggrieved.
And as to what will be the ultimate
adjustment of these races when Britain
withdraws from India no one can now
tell. 1t is to be hoped that by that
time Christianity will have become a
ruling factor in the land, and, if so,
many things will be changed Core

He Giveth His Beloved sIeel

He Giveth His Beloved sleep.
He sees when their footsteps falteT. when ,i.sir
hearts grow weak and faint;
He marks when their strength is failing and listens
to each complaint
He bids them rest Tor season, for the pathway
has grown too Steep
And, folded in fair, green pastures,
II. giveth His loved ones sleep.
He giveth it, oh, so gently a mother will hush
to rest
The babe that she softly pillows tonderly on
her breast.
Forgotten are now the trials and sorrows that
made them weep,
For with many a soothing promise
He giveth His loved ones sleep.
He eiveth it Friends the dearest can never this
boon bestow;
But He touches the dropping oyelids, and placid
the features grow
Their foes may gather about them, and storms may
round them sweep,
But guarding them safe from danger,
He giveth his loved ones sleep.
All dread of the distant future, all fears that OPP
press to-day,
Like mists that clear in the sunlight, have noise
lessly passed away.
No call nor clamOr can rouse them from slumbers
pure and deep,
For only His voice reach them
Who giveth His loved ones sleep.
Weep not that their tolls are over weep not that
their race is run;
God grant may rest calmly when our work
like theirs, is dOne
Till then would yield with gladness our treas
to Him TO keep,
And rejoice in the sweet assurance-
He giveth his loved ones sleep.

Doubtless the principle is true. The
more we pray, the more we forget to
be unthankful, discontinued, grumb-
ling. We forget To be anxious and
worried, because we lay our burdens
on the Saviour. We forget to be
gloomy, because we draw near to the
source of all joy. We cease to sin as
much rs before, because the heart be-
comes purified in its intercourse with
Jehovah. Alas that we do not try the

richly as the saving of a boy or girl.
To win fortune OF fame gives pleasure
and honor, but nothing as compared
with the former. 1t is said of Rev

work in India, producing a translation

was neither a dictionary nor grammar

picked up at Agra. An uncouth Irish
lad was found on the street by some
children on their way tn Sunday school
He was taken thither, finally became

of the conversion among others of a
