COLONY.

PORTLAND, Oregon, April 9Th 'S2.
ED. Thinking few words
from abroad might not come amiss, will
give you some. Made a flying visit to
Whatcom last week and was delighted to
find the people all in prosperous state,
and to witness the marked improvements
all along the route. A newspaper spring
ing mp at your little place speaks worlds
for the enterprise of all concerned. l
begin to see the light breaking over the
hill tops for Whatcom county. Keep up
one eternal agitation for greater mail
facilities and other Accommodations and
your people will succeed. A thing not
worth asking for is not worth having.
You are becoming known. The frequent
trips, regular and certain; of the steamer
Welcome, with its accommodating officers
especially purser White and steward
Poore-will build up passenger busi-
ness, and you will receive as actual set
tiers many of that class of people so
much desired in new country. Build
better wharfs, for the accommodation of all
steamers, so that they can be approached
in a storm.
We were pleased with the general APP
pearance Of every thing-looked like you
were al; prospecting. Your paper is
spicy, readable, local paper, and it's re,
freshing to see you and brother Power
cross swords--just for sport.

The mate of the ship, Storm King, has

and in trying his hand in salt water, near
the Columbia bar, went down to rise no
more, all his own fault, as the evidence
adduced to-day proves. The case was
reported by John W. Cochran, the steno,
grapher who took the Grover case when
Senator Morton was out here. He has
opened an Office in the law Office of
Effinger e. Bourne. 1t was these attor-

Storm King. The charge of Judge

The SMALLEST BABY AL1vE.-A
gentleman from Candelaria informs US
that the smallest baby in the world
was born 10 that camp at noon on
the Sd ult. The father is q miner.
in the employ Of the Northern
Belle mine and weighs 100 pounds.
The mother is stout, healthy wo-
man, weighing perhaps l6O pounds.
The child is male, as perfectly
formed as any human being can be,
but upon its birth only weighed eight
ounces. Its face is about the size of
horse chesDut and the size OF
limbs can be imagined when we say
that ring worn on the little finger OF,
its mother was easily slipped over It's
foot nearly up to the knee. Our in-
formaut states that it was the opinion
of the attending physician that the
child would live and prosper in good
health, Notwithstanding its diminus
tive proportions. The midget is 50.
small that three of its size could play
hide and seek in cigar box. This is
believed to be the smallest baby ever.

in no other city in the State, is the

Now said the Austin justice to
the witness, you will please tell pre-
cisely how it happened -
Yes, sir, I'll try. The prisoner
and that man were eating dinner at
the same table, and they got to quar-
reling, when the prisoner just up
with a dab of mashed Irish potatoes
and hit that other man on the head
with it, ........
DO you, SIR said the justice stern

thrown with the greatest violence,

THE EAvEsDRopPER.-The most
contemplate thing in nature is
the eavesdropper. The name was
originally given to the person
who listened beneath the windows
and at the doors Of peoples
houses, but custom authorizes its
use in speaking ofaDy of the tribe
of contemplate sneaks who peek
about and listen and pry into their
neighbors' affairs.
The eavesdropper bears the i'm.
press of his character upon bis
countenarce and betrays it in his
sneaking slip-slop gait. He sidles
into every company where he
thinks any private matter is being
discussed, and peeks over their
shoulders with his mouth agape
like a young chimney swallow
waiting for worm, and here he
will stay until the company is
either compelled to change the
subject of their talk or seek some
spot not infested by. the caves.
dropper. Let two gentlemen sit
down at any point along the
street and engage in private con-
versation, and it will not be long
before the eavesdropper takes up
bis position near them to pry into
what does not concern him. .
Your eavesdropper has no
shame. He cannot take a hint,
and there are but two ways. to get
rid Of him. One is to 60 where he
can't find you, and the other is to
kick him for his insolence. Those
who prefer the former method
can take it, but as for ourself We
have determined to adopt the
latter, the next time occasion re-

HOW TO ESCAPE NERVOUS.
NESS.

Nervousness is nervous weak
ness. The principal sign of a
feeble nervous organization is an
excessive degree of irritability of
one or moro Of the organs Of the
body. If the nervous system be
weak, the organs to which the
| nerves are distributed will also be
weak, and q weak organ is always
! an irritable one.
1t takes very little to th row
such an organ out Of it's orderly
| course Of action. Some slight
| cause or other acting on 'ner-
| vous' brain creates such degree
| Of irritability that it's possessor
feels as if be would like to jun P
| out of his skin,' or he may be
| thrown into paroxysm ofintense
| emotional disturbance, or a sick
| headache, and attack of hYsteria,
| or even q more severe disorder
may result. A nervous eye or
ear is annoyed by unusual or per-
sistent lights or sounds; a nervous
heart paIpitatcs or futters after
slight mental or bodily exertion
| nervous stomach is irritated by
food which a healthy baby could
easily digest, and the condition
known as nervous dyspepsia is
induced !; and a nervous spine, to
sepcify no further causes de-
rangements of nearly all the or.
gaus of the body. TO cure these
various disorders is often difficult
and sometimes impossible. To
prevent them even in persons pre-
disposed to nervousness is com
paratively an easy matter.
The whole hygiene of the sub
| iect is embraced in this sentence
Strengthen the nervous system.
How is this TO be done?
| 1st. The first prescription is an
ample supply of pure, fresh and
cool air. The nerves will always
be weak if the greater part of the
day and night be passed in close
ill ventilated and over heated
apartments. The nerves more
than the rest Of the body, to be
properly nourished, require full
supply of oxygen. They will moi
endure vitiated air, whether from
sewers, gas-lights, subterranear
| furnaces or the individuals OWL
person, without making all ener
getic protest.

cubic feet of gas per hour produces
more carbouic acid in a given time

THERE'S NO WEE LIKE aSY
WIFE.

The morning sun is breaking.
The gorgeous East is waking,
And one, in all her splendor,
With whispers that are tender,
angelic love is breathing.
Angelic life is wreathing
About my heart SO nearly,
About my soul 50 dearly,
Enchanted with my pleasure,
Ising, in Joyous measure:
There's no wife like my wife.
There's no wife like my wife,
There is no wife like mine.
Her rosy lip is luscious,
Her song is ike the terush's;
Her laughing dimples cover
The glory OF her lover.
Like she maiden wsye Of summer,
Whose blue bps overcome her,
The lapbeDt circumcision
Of Lena's cha,m'd Illusion
About me floats 80 airy,
Il haE conceslS my fairy.
There's no wife like my wife.
There's no wife ike my wife,
There ie no wife Ike mine.
Oh, the fro,ic Of her tresses!
Oh, her roilicking caresses!
And the beaming and the cleaning,
And the glory DER her streaming!
So defs and coy her pat is,
So dsbo1air her chat is,
Eer blooming grace illumes me.
And Heavens love consumes me.
There's no wife like my wife,
There's no wife like my wife,
There is no wife like mine.

THE OBNOXIOUS BOARDER.

We all disliked him { refer to

~ enough before; but after he had
the presumption to fall, or pre-
sepd be had falleu, in love with
Mildred Dainty, our landlady's
pretty daughtes, we absolutely
detested him.
We had been a community of
young artists and scribblers, bar
ring the old gentleman in the
third story front, who was o

lady of uncertain age in the
fourth story back, who was

! you are to all intents and purposes
immured with twenty-three other
persons, all taking oxygen from
the atmosphere. Is it a wonder
| that after several hours exposure
to the depraved air your nerves
should rebel as fast as their weak
state permits and that your head
should ache, your hands lremble,
and that your daughters playing
on the piano almost drives you
wild.
An overheated apartment always
enervates it's occupants. 1t iS DO
uncommon thing to find rooms
heated in winter by an under
ground furnace up to ninety de-
grees. Fights and murders are
more numerous in hot than in
cold weather, and the artihclally
heated air that rushes into our
rooms deprived as it is of its nat
ural moisture by the baking it
has undergone, is even more pro-
ductive of vicious passions. 1t is
no surprising circumstance, there
fore to find the women, who swell
ter all day in such temperature

fnous bed-clothing, cross and disa-
greeable from little every day
troubles that would scarcely rutf1e
her temper if she kept her rooms
at sixty-6ve degrees and opened
the windows every now and then.
I'd. Eat plenty of well-cooked
and nonrishing food. The nerves
cannot be kept healthy on slops.
Gruels, panadas teas are we'll
enough in their way, but the
nerves require for their proper
| nourishmeut undiluted animal and
vegetable food; as rule the for
mer should predomiuate. Meat
eaters are rarely troubled with
| nervousness. Americans eat more
vegetables than any other well,to-
do. people, and they are probably
the most nervous nation on the
face Of the earth.
Sd. Take sufficient physical ex-
ercise in the open air. When you
feel irritable, tremulous, frettul
6dgety, and unable to concentrate
your thoughts on the Verlest
trife, take long wrlk, or split
half o cord of wood. Even the
extreme nervousness Of lunatics is
best quie1ed by bodily labor. The
homicidal maniac who cannot II
kept in bis cell be trusted with a
bodkin may safely be given a
spade, pickax or hoe and set to
work 10 the garden. His irrlta-
biIity is quietly led off into ano-
ther and safer channel, and his
nerves are strengthened.
These are the principal rules. If
they were faithfully followed,
there would be less work for US
doctors to do.-Wm. 4. Hammond,
