OCTOBER tth. lSS-}.
EDITORS ARGUS:--It was VOuring down
when L arrived III Portland, and | was
fam to beat hasty retreat into the
Esmoud coach. This morning / was
speeding away on the glorious North
Pacific amid the sunshine Evidences
are net wanting along the banks of the
majestic Columbia that it has been a
very dry summer, and its bed Is dryer
than for many Years great bars Of sand
appearing here and there that are wont
to be covered over by the watery currents.
The showers OF the last few days, how
ever. frightened the landscape and
caused the tender blades Of grass to
spung and shoot. Leaving the pleasant
farms and orchards which crop out from
amongst the trees and nestle under the
bluffs, or stand. as If in conscious pride.
upon some pretty green knoll, We be
gan the ascent of the Cascades. the
see merry becoming grandpr ard wilder HS
We advance towering mountains, bald
promontories and rocky detiles stand in
solemn splendOr, while i'll graceful bean
ty the peaceful river glides below. But
now We have passed The Dalles, and
the country becomes like an ocean bed
heaved up to the clouds. Who can tell
whether there was not, a few hundred
years ago, some huge disturbance of the
earth's crust, as at Java, where these
very sanded plains, rolling hills and
%lgant mountains were suddenly ele-
waited to their present altitude? Talk
about water works. here we have great
and marvellous works of God, the grand
reservoirs of the Most High, from which
he waters the valleys and lOwlands in
the sultry summer time. Here are pools.
ponds and small lakes innumerable
where the waters, when they have dashed
down the mountain gOrTes, are collected
and filtered through banks of sand, roar
over cataractS and, after miles of wan
dering, finally find their home in the
deep blue sea. | often wondered where
al the waters Of these great rivers could
come from, for although | understood 1t
thoroughly, l could not grasp it Now
| know all about it. No, | don't; | know
something about it.
As gaze upon the steady, hard work
ing Chinaman tOiling on, and ponder for
o moment on all he has done in carrying
through this mighty undertaking, L can
not help but wonder if the pittanCe for
which he worked really did pay him.
Can we ever really pay for work well
done? DeSpise him as we may he hath
done what he could.
Now | am getting tired of working
with this con tinual oscillation, and it
may be you are tired too, very tired; all
right [ will follow the advice of a
young man who, being rather deaf,
whispered to his brother who was lead
ing a prayer meeting, "Cut it short,
Jack" and of course everybody heard
him.

a Whisper.

One night last week a gentleman of
valOTOUS disposition, with tendency to
indulge III the strong drink of the period
was out on picnic with IL party of con-
vlyial friends, who made much merry
with myrtle melody and malt, to the
tune of shorts bits at the bale. After
having ginned the house up about six
teen times in the Grand old Democratic
manner, our worther friend bade adieu
to the scene of nights disorgauization
and proceeded homeward. On the way.
however, he crossed Il vacant lot. Lot
over one thousand miles from the Good
Templar's Hall, and made an opening
III the real estate there by dropping
gently into five feet of mud, and was
only prevented in all probability from
descending five thousand feet further by
strain of profanity so profoundly elo-
quent in its nature that it would fairly
paralyze the sensibi tiles of d veteran
shell-back, between spasms of birthstone
oaths, he announced his geographical
location to the general public, until
man arrived near to the monument of
mouth in the mud with bad temper and
a lantern, who inquired sweetly if the
orators clothes didn't fit him, or was
the fact of his taking bath the occasion
OF IlllS llOl His Itl 10 al StTlOuS HIS
undering, and things were said there in
that duet, while the night wind sighed
and the great sea tossed and moaned, in
mighty stir, so feafully bad that it is
supposed only Satan made use of the
first time his mother-in-law got on a
spree; but it proved the salvation of that
unhappy mudlark, because the man with
the lantern went out on stills, yanked
him three hundred yards up to Il fence,
and wore all the mud off him against it.
He then smiled great smole of satisfac-
ton, went home silently to dream of an
enlightened city council taking this infant
city by the hand, opening its eyes by
electricity, infusing good water into
its veins land less bad whisky, and thus
leading it on from the swaddling bands
of childhood to the trowsers and big
boots of manhood; to kick forever in
the true majestic glory of American in
dependence. JUDGE

Cincinnati has grievance against the census
of1inp Tor not including in the enumeration and
publication OF her population the inhabitants OF
Covinrtoa and Newport, two cities of considerable
size living on the opposite side OF the Ohio river and
within the state of Kentucky. II under these Cir
cumS lEceS Cincinnati has right to feel aggrieved.
how much greater ground for complaint has the
national capital against the same Office In the
case OF Washington, the aStute authorities OF that
bureau excluded from her population, as published
In its official tables thousands OF people living Just
outside OF the Old boundary lines OF the city as they
were established nearly century ago, and who are
now just much part OF her population, in in
tcrSt. in law and in fact those who live within
the shadow Of the Capitol building. By this absurd
and unjust proceeding the population OF the city IS
mad" To appear nearly thirty thousand less than It
really IS, while she is made to rank as the four
tecEth city Of the country In point of size instead of
the eleventh, which is her true position To bring
about this unfair showing, rules were applied to
Washington which were not made applicable to any
Other city In the country; and nOtwithst andng the
TACT that the injustice thus done was brought to
the attention OF the proper authorities more than
once no steps were ever taken so far as has yet
appeared TO correct the error. Whether the dis
elimination against Washington was the result of

inquiry as comes from the publication of false figures
has been done, with the added misfortune that
doubt has been east thereby on all the statistics
put forth by the Office at fault.
