1--WE have never failed to
be the first to make reduc-
tons when reductions were
to be made" The unsea-
sonable weather has retarded
the sale of heavy woolens to
such an extent that we find
ourselves overloaded, and
realize that nothing short of
a slaughtering sacrifice will
move this surplus ; hence we
have put the knife deeply
into almost the entire stock
of Wool Dress Goods.
AS this stock must be sold
in November (only twenty
days remaining), we trust not
to ordinary reductions or
clippings" but have made
EXTRAORDINARY re-
auctions, in many cases from
rs to SO per cent.
This is unexceptionally the
Greatest Reduction Sale"
ever inaugurated by us, and
never before in the annals of
trade were such fashionable
dress fabrics offered at such
a sacrifice.

How sweet the Summer Sabbath,
When all is calm and bright,
And in the gentle quiet
We sec the Lord, u Light.
Brighter than MONDAY radiance
He shines within the soul.
The broken heart behOlds Him,
And once again is whole.
What rest comes to the weary,
What comfort to the sadl
Forgetting all his troubles
The Christian soul fs glad.
Light beams from God in Heaven,
The shadows flee away,
Peace to the heart is given
Upon this perfect day.
o, what must be the Sabbath
In that fair summer lan
Where Jesus leads His people,
A holy. happy band,
Beside the living fountains,
And in the pastures green,
Where fits a shadow
Across the tranquil scene!
Roll on, o Time, thy chariot,
Let days and nights succeed,
We will not mind the darkness,
The toll we will not heed.
The blessed contamination,
The Sabbath without end,
For all the %tribulation
Will more than mak amend.

An Oregon Surgeons sagacity.

Many remarkable stories have been
told concerning the sagacity of the
sturgeon, some of which have been
hard to believe. That these fish are en-
dowed with a heap of savoy is shown by
the following: Yesterday afternoon
a number of representatives from the
;~fish-markets of this city embarked on
the steamer Calliope to see the launch
of the Multnomah. They were stand
ing in a row along the rail when a
philosophical looking old sturgeon
leaped out of the river on the guard of
the boat, as if to get a better view of
the launch. Happening to look up he
saw a row of fish dealers with their ewes
fixed upon him, evidently calculating
how many pounds he would weigh
when made into sea-bass. With a
frightened snort the astute fish leaped
back into his native element, went
down, and a minute later came to the
surface half a mile off, looking back to
see if he was pursued. Seeing the fish
ermen still standing in a row and
looking disc~onsolate, he put his tail to
the end of his nose and gently waved
it, like a long, bony hand, at them and
then went below to resume his regular
business of catching suckers.-Portlamd
Oregoniam.
The tombs of Esther and Mordecai
are in a poor little shrine in Hamadan.
Persia. They are covered each by a
wooden ark, on which are small pieces
of paper like labels, covered with He
brew characters. They are placed
there by the Hebrew pilgrims. All are
under a small dome some fifty feet
high. The building is of red bricks,
the walls much patched with mud; the
blue dome is Of tiles. These tombs are
held sacred by all Hebrews in Persia
and thousands make pilgrimages an
asally.
