LOST Nus GIRL.

Ed. Posi- INTELLIGENcER:
Will you kindly allow me, through
the columns of your valuable paper. to
tell the public of the misfortune that
happened to me on Sunday last, and
perhaps they can sympathize with me
In my Lamentations and prevent fur
Their disaster from like Gauss in the
futurer Being stranger and wishing
to take ride in the country with my
darling" hied me to q livery stable
to secure horses and chaise, also to in
quire the best roadway, and was in
formed by the groom in attendance that
"a they we're planking the "beach road"
II was the best road at present for a
drive. We were on the way in few
moments, and everything was lovely
until about a mile from town, when q
fearful stencil arose. In a moment we
discovered the cause. Il was slaughter
house. Putting whip to the horses We
passed az rapidly as possible. Neither
spoke-for want of breath. The young
lady held handkerchief to her nose
and mouth for some time, and when at
last IL was removed she put me in mind
Of the story of "Peck's Bay Boy" and
his girl. who got sea sick at the smell of
that Billy goat, her lips wet with the Yea
that washed over the side. But there
WIS no sea here, and can assure you.
Mr.. Editor. that it would have made the
strongest man in this city sea sick had
he passed there. The lady implored me
to return by another route, but knowing
no other road we had no alternative left
but come the way we went. She did not
speak on our arrival at her parental
residence, and guess I'm lost. Bot
seriously, would il not be we'll for the
County Commits to abate such an
intolerable nuisance? II certainly hurts
property owners at that point, and
keeps the land out Of the market for
residences.
Let the commissioners go there ON a
warm day and see for themselves. II

THE TRADE OF THE PACIFIC NORTH.
WEST.
[San Francisco Grooer.l

II is evident the trade of Oregon and
Washington, which has to consider.
able extent been enjoyed by our mer-
chants, can be held only by the most
obstinate competition with the mer-
chants of Chicago and st. Louis, and
possibly with those of other large east
ern cities. In these days Of rapid tran.
sit and easy communication, trade be-
longs to no particular city by right OF
geographical position. The fact that
San Francisco is the important center
of trade on the Pacific coast, and has
peculiar advantages fer supplying few
articles is not sufficient guarantee that
this northern trade will not be diverted
to other markets. Already the mer-
chants of Chicago have their attention
attracted to this field. During the past
week we were favored with call from
a member Of the firm of NJ. D. Wells 4
Co., one Of the largest manu- featuring
boot and shoe houses in the United
States. They have for many years en-.
joyed a large trade as far west az Salt
Lake City and Ogden, and now propose
at the opening of the rail route to enter
into active competition from that
point through to Portland and PuRe,
Sound. From Mr.. Wells We learn that
the large dry goods houses of Marshall
Field Il Co. and j. v. Farwell d Co.
also have representatives at ORder
awaiting the opening of this route.

HANDY ONE.ARMED MEN.

He was a big man, with heavy side
whiskers and military air that beto-
kened long service under fire; and he
was q one-armed man. The empty sleeve
that hung at his right side told of glory
sought and Of peril undergone. He was
seated in a restaurant, leisurely break
fasting and going through the motions
Of the meal with q graceful ease that
very plainly indicated a man of high
breeding.
"Never mind the knife and fork he
said, az the obsequious waiter placed
these useful implements beside the sa-
worry steak that formed the basis of the
meal; II am already provided" So
saying he drew from his pocket q small
morocco case and removed from it an
livery handlsd instrument, highly pol
ished, that looked strikingly surgical in
its spotlees brilliancy. Opening this by
the aid of his mouth and his remaining
hand, he disclosed what proved to be a
knife and fork combined. One side
was we'll sharpened knife, and at the
ends were three broad pr0ngs that
served we'll the purpose of a fork. The
custing of tho steak was done grace
fully and thoroughly, and then his
breakfast began.
By this time the writer, anxieus to
learn more of the devices of the one
armed man, took a seat at the same
table and ordered his breakfast. His
remarks upon the ease and grace with
which the veteran handled his oonioint
knife and fork were we'll received, and
the one-armed man willingly explained
some Of the many devices that he and
others manned In the war resort to for
self-service.
"The knife and fork" he said, "were
among the first inventions for one armed
men. and have been in use for many
years. But We have other devices not
so generally known. For instance, when

my basin a small brush; upon which

sary suds. When want to cut nv nails

pass them carefully around the edge of

bow knot required long practice and
no little ingenuity, but can do il easily
now. How do it cannot explain in
words. For a long time I had great
trouble IN buttoning my collar, but now
no button can resist me. don't be-

operation az most men do who have two

"Oh, yes; there's no difficulty about
