SHOWS AND HUMBUGs.

The summer months are usually the most
convenientfor travelling shows and bilks
to appear in the different towns and vic
timize the people For the last couple OF
months several have already made their
appearance, nearly all of them having car
ried off quite considerable sums of money
from our community. And the worst of it
all is that as general thing great many
if not most of them are regular catch
pennies and humbugs which the people
distinctly realize after once having seen
them. But people must go to the circus OF
to the show and pay for their experience
and thus permit the country to be drained
of all of the spare change by these travelling
humbugs who are too lazy to work and too
cowardly to take the shot gun and go upon
the highway. We claim no credit to our
selves IN the matter, because we have at
tended some of them too and probably the
worst of the lot. But it would be much
better if all could resist the temptation.

A NEW CHINESE BILL.

Some of the members of Congress are de-
termined in some way if possible to man.
euver bill through that body so as to give
Chinese greater privileges and more free
dom to enter and depart from the United
States than is allowed them by the bill
which was recently passed on that subject.
A new bill of this nature has recently been
introduced by Senator Logan. At thislate
time of the session it will not likely pass.
But it indicates that these Chinese loving
people will likely keep to work until they
get bill through which will have the effect
to kill the effective portion of the one they
so much object to. His bill is for the pur-
pose of permitting Cinnamon not now in
this country to pass through on their way
to China. Such a bill would in great
measure likely kill the effect of the other
one. Because while they were passing
through it would be an easy matter for
them to drop out by the wayside and mingle
with other Cinnamon now in this country
until they could not be identified.

THAT LOCAL EDITOR FOR UNITED STATES
SENATOR

Mr.. H w. Scott the ostensible editor
of Mr.. Wizards local paper. the Oregonian
at Portland would make handsome out
ft for United States Senator. The people
from different parts of the State would so
much rejoice to see him elected. He has
talked so nicely through his local Portland
paper in encouraging the public works at
Yaquina bay and across the Willamette
Valley, that the people there and there
abouts, including big, little, old and young.
irrespective of age, color, or previous con-
tlition of servitude, would jump up and at
tempt to crack their heels together three
times before touching the ground immedi-
ately after his election. The people of the
Cascade locks and Eastern Oregon on ac-
count of his devotion to encouraging those
improvements in and about the Locks
would '1san for joy" at his election when
they learn that all they ever got in the
world was due to his works through that
Idealpaper at Portland. The people of Coos
Bay when they learn that the facts of their
having a harbor at all is due to Mr.. Scotts
dictatorial work through his local paper in
talking SO nice about appropriations,
would be angry at the suggestion OF
any other than him for United States Sen
ator. The people of other and different
parts of our State whose localities that local
editor has attempted to belittle in the eyes
of Congress as to their respective needs for
appropriations for public improvements.
would take it as a personal offence to them
selves if the editor of that local paper was
sighted for Senatorial honors by the next
Legislature.
The people who do not believe in the
policy of Congress to scatter appropria-
tions' but do believe in Concentrating
them" for the improvement of the "Will-
annette river below Portland" will probably
vote for Scott. That support would prob
ably amount to Wizards vote the owner of
that local paper, in the event that he had
vote in the coming Oregon Legislature.
If the next Legislature should be remis
in their duty and elect some other man, it |
is possible that the next Republican con-
vention might elect him as a delegate to the
next National Republican convention in
the event he or his friends for him should
ask it.

should take hold of this subject and pass a

of the shipper that it should during its

to be forwarded to final destination, that
such company first receiving it should be
compelled to thus deliver, a failure of which

A Haunted House.

1t was just in the edge of the evening
That reached the old homestead.
A frightened peasant saw me;
NAY, go not inp' he said.
There are none to give you shelter,
And at night ghost walks therep
Then he hurried away and left me
With my foot upon the stair.
Back on its rusty hinges
swung the oaken door;
How light my footstep sounded
Upon that dusty floor!
The black eye of spider,
And the questioning face of mouse,
We're the only ones to welcome me
Back to the dear old house.
| went up to my chamber,
And the dreams that gloriied
The morning of my life came back
To mock its eventide.
| lOitered in the hallway,
Where was that gay young thrOng
Who gathered there with laugh and
jest
With merriment and song?
L listened for their laughter
l spoke their names aloud;
Alasl not one could answer me
From the coffin and the shroud.
Then in distant mirror
| caught sight of my face;
Like faded ghost of the olden time
1t seemed there IN that place.
Alone in the dear old homestead
OF all that vanished host,
All yesl the place is haunted,
And l have seen the ghost.

as far as l have been, that are at least
| four inches long, and are somewhat
clumsy, for when they hop they invaria-
bly, light with their heads toward where
| they started frOm-and the distance
| gone over at single leap is very insig-
nificant. as compared with that of a
common little field hopper. We have a
species of snake that never saw in Ohio.
They are called the blow-snake; they
are about Is or 20 inches long, and one
inch in diameter; they have a nose that
resembles the snout of the hog, having
a crescent at the end of the nose, just in
shape of the 'rooter' on a hogs nose.
Then we have the Kissing viper, as well
as the kissing adder; all these species
are very poisonous, as well as the rattle
Snake. There are antelope here, but l
have only saw one since / came here !;
but some distance west of here, there
are just 'scads' of antelope, deer, elk,
buffalo, bear and wolves. The sport of
bringing in the buffalo, as it is called
IN this country. is attended with consid-
erble danger to those engaged in the
sport. In the first place, they are liable
to shoot each other, and the buffalos
are liable to form in battle line, and
wait till you ride up all around them,
then they make a lunge IN force and
desperation, in which onset you and
four horse are liable to get killed; for
when the buffalo is brought to this
point, he has no mercy upon anything
that comes in his way. AS one of my
old neigbors used to say, he is "sewig-
errish lookin' anamele."

Communicated
Plea for the Present.

To those who are inclined to look
on the sunny side of life, the story of the
great man of the sixteenth district" :"
which has been going the rounds of the
press, has brought feelings of gratifica-
tion ard pleasure. But to the chronic
croaker," seeking to feast his soul on
fitting shadows and misty doubts, it has
furnished an extra occasion for the ex-
preston of his oft-told story of
the wonders of former days and the de-
terioration of succeeding generations,
and has again called forth his fearful
prophecy of the ultimate degradation of
our race.
He is pleased in endeavoring to prove
that when the noted men of the present
day pass from among the living, they
will be succeeded by a generation of
men wholly incapable of discharging
such duties as devolved upon their pre-
decessors; and the emergencies of state
affairs will then be met, if met at all,
only by those who are so fortunate as to
be the SONS of the hardy pioneer, and
who have been raised in the wilds of
some newer state. And should this as
founding state Of affairs continue, it is
to be supposed that when the whole peo-
pie shall have become enlightened, they
shall also have become degraded to such
a miserable mediocrity, as to be unable
to continue government because of
the inability of the people to find per-
son whose talent rises above the general
level. in whom to impose the trust of
leadership.
Should this predicted state of affairs
ever come, it were certainly sadly to be
deplored. But when looking over the
former predictions of the "croakers," it
is found that the same persons who to-
day say, Gas did an excellent journal of
this county,, that our greatness is likely
to "die out with Garfield, Thurman,
Sherman and their contemporaries" are
the same persons who, twenty years
ago, said that the places of Webster, Clay
and Calhoun would never again be filled.
In proof of their position, they ask if
we know of any really promising young
man; and refer to the fact that great
men did notable things in their youth.
In whose history has there not taken
place events, which, if taken in connec-
tion with after greatness, would have at
least tincture of greatness?
These same persons even admit that
the positions of honor are to-day filled
with dignity. But they are troubled be-
cause no one is standing by, making
demonstrations to show that he is ready
to take up the mantle of his father and
travel on in the good old way.
Let them remember that God has so
constituted the mind of man as to not
only obviate the monotony of uniformi-
ty, but has rendered uniformity impos-
sible.
1t is true that in the life of the pion-
eer there exists combination of cir
cumstances which tend to produce a
love of exploit, and self-confdence
which coupled with moderate degree
of ability, is able to attain even extraor-
binary ends.
But when such circumstances shall
have become antiquated, and with them
their heroes, then shall modest worth
attain, as does the oak when not cramp-
ed by trees of ranker growth, its great
est development and most graceful pro-
portions. L.
