Henry r. DQPant.


who died in Boston last Monday, was
man who might well serve pulpit
orators AZ an instance OF the working
of Divine Providence. He was u
brilliant lawyer, as was shown bv the
appreciation of his law paroner, Rufus
Choate; he made great reputation and
a large fortune, but WAS not very
lscrupulous about the means employed.
After fame and fortune were acquired,
however, and the man seemed to Lave
settled in II selfish, grasping million
aire, whose money would benefit no.
bobv bat himself and his family, his
son, a promising young man, died
I suddenly. The blow changed the
the whole current Of Mr.. Durrant's life.
His better nature WAS awakened, and
from being II sharp, interruptions man
of business he became an earnest
Christian worker, going 10 far as to
give up his law practice that he might
devote himself to works Of charity and
religion. Twelve years after the death
Of his son, Wellesley College, tor young
women, was opened, near Boston. 1t
cost Mr.. Durant l,OOO, 900, and is the
most complete and elegant institution
of the kind in the world. He has given
| it S5O,0OO year since its erection to
increase its advantages. Later, he
formed a society to assist poor young
women in getting an education, aud
many other philantnropic works be
did of which the world has no record.
This is the kind Of Christianity that
The world believes in, and this is the
kind of conduct that convinces the
world of the practical truth of the
Christian religion. Whether Mr.. Du-
rants conversion by means Of TIE deaf.
OF nis son was Especial providence"
or not, is poiut on which casuists will
not agree; nor is it necessary that they
should. The facts remain that out OF
atfliction there came great good, and
the grief OF Mr.. Durant was the meaus

who shall say that he has not reaped
his reward.

Making Clothing.

We begin with the cloth.
Not all the cloths in the
market by any means get
into our clothing We Sc.
lect them with the best skill
we have and occasionally
for a particular purpose we
have a cloth made TO suit us.
But we begin with the
cloths. They are looked
over, under and through for
spots andF imper;ections, the
spots and imperfectioas
marked to be avoided, the
cloths sponged. cut and Civ
en- out to be sewcd. The
trimmings are looked after
as carefully as the cloths
The silk to sew with too
never is a cloth seam sewed
with anything but silk-and
the silk is tested for strength
not every yard of it, but
some out of every lot.
And, when the clothes
come in from our makers to
be paid for, we look out for
blunders, for slighti;.g for
any lack whate, er. When
are accepted, they are
paid for that very minute, in
cash. This promptness
keeps our work-people in
good heart, even if we are
exacting.
That is the course every
garment we have has gone
through. Its quality depends
on our capacity tor manag-
ing our business.

A DINNER AND A KISS.

The blaeksnith's daughter said.
As she took from her arm the kot,ls
And lifted It's shiAinK lid.
"There is not any pie or pudding.
So l will give you tbisf'
And upon the toll.worn forehead
She left the childish kiss.
Tho black smith tsok of his apron
And dined In happy mood,
Wondering much at the saver
Hid In his humble food.
While all about his, were visions
Full Of prophetic bliss;
But he ntver thought OF the magic
In his little daughters kiss.
And she, with her kettle swinging,
Merriiy trud2ed away,
Stopping at sight Of q squirrel,
Catching some wildDird's lay.
And thought how many sha low

Ii, always, our frugal dinners

PuRTIsND'S EFFORTS 70 IMPROVE
s. THE WILLAMETTE RIVER.

From private sources reports are in
circulation to the effect that the citi-
xens in and about Portland are going
to adopt active measures to raise
money for the purpose of cleaning
out the sand bsrs and deepening the
river from that place to the sea.
This is an important undertaking and
one that deserves success. The
channel of the Willamette river can
not be improved to much. The peo.
pie of Oregon are soon likely to have
the benefit of an outlet TO the sea
under the Willard movement by way
Of Puget Sound; and also another
from Yaquina bay eastward through
Eastern Oregon. But when these
two lines are completed 1t will be
Just as essential az it has been before
to keep natures highway open anil in
good condition TO admit passage Ot
large ocean carrying steamers in
order to furnish additional COM
petition and to act as check npon
these other two lines. The interests
Of the people at large denanl this
for self protection. At the rate this
Northwest country is likely t" inn
prove and advance in population and
industries these several lines Of
transportation will no donbt pay
fair reasonable profit on the actual
capital invested and at the same
time carry freight and passengers
for reasonable compensation.

riding rampant over the rights of the
people. Wiihou, doubt this question
can only be- met AMI decided in .avo'

seems that he courts carnOt he relied
upon. If it is necessary for the peo.
pie of the east to protect themselves
in this way, 1t is doubly SO here. i'll

tation in opposition to Mr.. Willard S
interests are allowed t. exist.
After careful consideration, l am
in favor Of ant;-monop"ly leagues, as
recommended by the s'Oreyon v
det,c and anti MonopoliS,,' published
at Portland. Having been tor sever.
al years in sympathy with the green
back party, am frank to confess that
I believe TIE time has arrived when
it will be more to our interest to
abandon the money doctrines OF
Brick Pomeroy and turi our arten-
ton TO the great monopoly question.
There are plenty of good men in tae
old parties who are ready To join a
political crusade against the corpora
tions that are now robbing the pro-
pie, to the end that their attorney
and agents may be kept oat Of the
q. S. Senate and other public offices
where they would be useful tools to
their masters.

Occasionally We chance TO NEE,
with q newspaper which advances
the theory that because the United
States requires a tariff to be paid on
imported manufactured articles that
England for the purpose Of retaliation
will place duty upon our wheat
which We ship there. Such a propo-
sition Is the most silly piece Of non
sense ever heard of because it pre-
sumes that England buys our wheat
not because she needs it but simply
TO Please us which. il not the fac :.
She only buys it because she is com.
PEELED to have it. The above prop
osit:on is one advanced by England
in order to frighten the United Sta,es
into repeating her tariff laws aud thus
bring about what England most de-
sires and when our own journals
take this proposition up and tlrn-t
II before our people it exhibits their
utter ignorance of the purpose for
which tariff is enacted and the cf.
feet that il is intended to produce.

The Oregonian of Wednesday very
kindly published Col. Hogg's speech
delivered in this city Oct. 2sth, with
lengthy report of the condition OF
the Oregon Pacific railroad, and a
description of Yaqnina bay and the
harbor Improvement; so far the cor
respondent. Now comes in MIR.
Scott as editor, and attempts TO- throw
a wet blanket over tie whole matter
by the following editorial comment
tailed on at the end of all article
headed railroad notes:
"The history, prospects and promis-
Ps of the Oregon Pacific are set forth
at length, in contribution to our
columns to-day. The road will un.
doubte'ily be of local service from the
frat. The question whether it is to
assume wider scope and Importance
will depend on the degree of success
attending the efforts to make a har.
Dor at Yaq"ina bay, AMI how long
time will elapse before this is accom-
plished. Quite large force is now
at work on the road, and one cargo of
rails destined for it has already ar
rived at San Francisco"
No unprejudiced person can fail to
be pleased with the positive state
ment OF the Oregonian that "the road
will undoubtedly be OF local service
from the first," and were it not for
the sentence Immediately following,
by which Mr.. Scott expects, by one
fell stroke of his mighty pen, to
quietly but effectually "snuff out" the
whole enterprise, we might feel
complimented by the fact that he
had noticed the matter at all.
