A THREE MINUTE cEysER.

Hoaxing travellers has always been a
favorite amusement with some people who
have been connected with our transporta-
ton lines. There was George Knaggs, Pre-
sident of the Cello Lying Club, who has
invented more ingenious stories than can be
remembered, but who has now turned o
respectable and honored citizen of The Dali
les. How many have looked with delight
on the immense orchards (of oak grubs) he
has pointed out to them along the hills Of
Wasco county. But there has arisen n
greater than Knaggs, one who can lie in
half a dozen languages. Lately, coming up
from Astoria, the passengers heard a loud,
roaring noise ON the south side of the river,
and looking in the direction of the sound,
saw large column of water rise to great
height in the air. An excited lady, who in
quired the meaning of this phenomenon,
was told by the polyglot liar above men
toned that there was a geyser over there in
the woods. But" said the lady, I" l was
along here year ago and I heard no men,
ton of geysers.p "oh," was the reply, lit
has only lately broken out. 1t spouts every
three minutes after great roaring. If you
will watch you will soon see 1t again. ;"
Sure enough in a moment u loud and pro
longed roar was heard, and then huge
column of water flashed in the sun far
above the intervening trees The lady was
convinced and WAS also delighted to have
seen this wonder Of nature. As the Ore
gonian does not wish the Iowa editors to be
deceived by this romancer It will "give
away snap Capt. Ankeny has long
timber slide down the side CT the mountain
ON the Prairie channel. 1t is lined with
railroad iron and the logs in descending il
make great noise, and when the logs strike
the water they punch out column the full
size of the log, just as the pith is punched
out Of an elder, and shove it up in the air
to a great height. Az the logs follow each
other down the chute at short intervals the
appearance Of spouting geyser is present
ed to travellers along the main channel OF
The riyer.-P Portland Oregonian.

THE ARIZONA CACTUS.

On the desolate sand plains of Arizona,
the chief production is the cactus, twenty
seven species of which are said to flourish
in the greatest luxuriance. Some of these
attain height of forty to fifty feet, and the
rows of fibrous ribs which hold their pulpy
trunks together make the latter resemble
huge futed columns, the resemblance being
materially increased by the uniformity Of
size and absence of limbs, the only out
growth from the body being thick coat OF
prickers. Until recently this, like all other
species of the cactus family, was supposed
to be destitute of value but, as with many
ether articles formerly supposed to be useless
and which are now turned to good account,
SO this product of the desert is being utiliz.
ed by California paper makers, and in some
localities considerable numbers of Chinese
laborers are employed in telling the trunks,
stripping the ribs which grow on the sur
face, and pressing the pulp into bales
whence it is shipped to the paper mills
The juice is also manufactured into species
Of beer by the Indians and Mexicans, who
ferment it in large eartherp vessels.

Because her eyes TO me and you

Shall storms arise between US two,

She smiles on me, my heart is light,
And yours is stepped In sorrow;
And yet the flower gave tonight

Coquette is she; SO say with noe,

And fair-however fair she be,
There's many lassie fairer."

And all your signs unheeded;

No wreaths OF mournful willow;
But show, in spite OF her disdain,
We yet can live without her,
And Joining hands wen laugh again,

The social event of the season in Alexan-
dria, Va, was the marriage yesterday after
noon, of Mr.. Robert Lee Hoy to Miss Maggie
T., BreeD, young lady prominent in society
circles in that city, at st. Mary's Church,
by the Rev. Father o'Kaue The church
was thronged by the youth and beauty of
old Bell Haven, and as the music of the
marriage march pealed forth announcing
the arrival of the happy couple hush
spread Ger the formerly gay assemblage
in waiting.
The young bride-elect wore costume
befltting the occasion, and was the object of
much admiration from the large number Of
friends and relatives present. The ushers
were Messrs Frank Hill, viii Entwisle and
Q. Deidle. After the ceremony majority
of the guests present repaired to the home
of the brides parents, where an excellent
collation. of all the heart could wish was set
before them, to which they did ample JUS
tice. The presents were many, and were
both costly and useful. The gay assemblage
broke up in time for the happy couple to
reach the northern-bound train for short
Northern tour amid the congratulations
and well-wishes of all present.
Among the many present were Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Hoy, parents of the groom,
and family; Mr.. aud Mrs. Benjamin Fugitt

ANOTHER "REMINISCENCES.
A Reported UIterance by General
sherman Just Before the war.

Snermnn just BEFORE the war.
4 special dispatch from Richmond Va,
to the Philadelphia Times says:
&c M. Rioheson, a thoroughly reliable
gentleman of this city, who was proprietor
of a wharf boat at Vicksburg, Miss, at the
breaking out of the war, this evening
makes public the substance OF an interview
be had with Major, now General w. I.
Sherman, at that period. Mr.. Richeson
says he was aroused from his sleep one
night by Captain SPOTS, of tho steamer
Eclipse, who introduced him TO Major
Sherman, who was then in command Of the
regulars being transported from Baton Rouge
Arsenal to the northern side of tho line.
Sherman said:
"'Mr. Richeson, had you walked up to
ask If you would be kind enough TO take
charge of the corpse of one of my meu aud
have the body decently buried p
"Mr. Richeson told him be would. He then
asked the Major what he thought of the
situation.
"'Do YOU think there will be war, Ma
jor2'
major Sherman said, 4 am afraid there
will be trouble, and then be added in sub
stance, 1 have spent many years in the
South, where / have received only the
kindest treatment, and before l would
fight against those people would lose my
right arm
"Mr. Richeson says he is curious to know
If General Sherman remembers this inter-
view"
General Sherman was appointed a
Second Lieutenant of the Third Artillery,
U. S. A., July /, 1S40 On September 6,
1858, he resigned from the Army aud only
re-entered the service on May ID, 1861,
and then as Colonel of the Thirteenth H.
fautry. Possibly Mr.. Richeson dreamed the
interview no relates. Possibly he has con-
founded somebody else with General Sher
man. Possibly he's an ordinary everyday
liar.--ED. Critic.

The Racrnt of SUCCESS.

The Philadelphia Times thus disposes of
the cry Of the theatre managers about
bad business
"Tbe success of Fedora as Of many of
the other performances at the opera-house
this winter, sufficiently answers the wall
about bad business. Give the theatre
goers q good entertainment, and, under
ordinary circumstances, they will pay for
IL. There are occasional exceptions no
doubt. We can all recall performances Of
conspicuous artistic merit that were not
sustained. Usually in such cases we find
some fragrant faults of business manage
ment, which have produced the same re-
suits in all periods of theatrical history.
1t is also an undeniable fact that puffery,
direct and indirect, has attained such i'm
portance in this business that evon the
greatest artists hardly can make head
way against 1t. But taking the 'attrac-
tions' that are before the public at this
timo it will be found that nearly all of
those that deserve success are doing we'll.
The failures are among those that have
no merit to entitle them TO live or that
have outlasted the temporary interest
which for time won popularity"

THE GRANT BILL.
Talk About theDIoasure Passed Yes.
1prnaV.

There is good deal of talk to-day in the
House about the Edmunds-G Grant bill, which
passed the Senate yesterday. General
Rosecrans. chairman of the House Military
Committee, is against the bill. General
Slocum is also against it. He is in favor
of the bill which passed the Senate last
February and which mentions General
Grants name. The Edmunds bill, which
went through the Senate yesterday, does
not mention General Grant, but it is, of
course, meant for his benefit. General
Slocum thinks that tho Edmuuds bill
would DO in direct opposition to the Presi-
dents position in the Fitz-John Porter
case. It is not likely, however, that he
will find much following. General Slocum
says that to pass tho Edmunds bill would
be to indorse Ferdinand Ward and his &C.
lions. There has undoubtedly been change
of sentiment in regard to General Grant.
1t Is very probable that the Edmunds bill
through that sentiment-despite the oppo.
sition of General Slocum aud others-will
become law.
