Summer Life at NOnquitt.

Nonquitt, the town which General
Sheridan has selected as a summer
home, is described as one of the sleep
lest down East" resorts. 1t had been
but little known to the outside world
till the building of the generals
chateau" and his advent there. 1t lies
on the west side of Clark's cove, which
is an arm of Buzzard's bay, and is
noted for its picturesque rocks, ia
miliarly known as " Barekneed," and
for its salt works, long ago deserted.
These were once sketched by the artist
Clifford, and have ever since been the
chief subject for the many amateur
artists in the region. A few years ago
a syndicate bought the best land and
staked out the lots. General Sheridan

the spot where his master lay.
Bobby lived four years after the
new curator came, and though by this
time he was growing old and feeble, he
still crept every night, in fair weather
or rough, summer and winter alike, to
his masters grave. At last, twelve
years and half after he first
came to the spot with the few
mourners who attended Gray's funeral,
faithful Bobby died too, and if there
is heaven for dogs | firmly believe
that he has now a high place there,

" Gray's grave has no longer a
mourner and would long ago have been
forgotten but for the old curator, who
shows the spot to each newcomer and
never tires of telling of the faithful
dog who guarded it every night for
nearly thirteen years.
Soon the old curator must die, too.

Mr.. Clarke has put the story of his life

circled the earth once, doubled Cape

The Governors Mistake

NEW HAMPSHIRE HISTORY IN VERSE.
New Hampshire had governor
Who owned a large estate;
Broad acres and great barns he had
And gold and silver plate.
His hired men he kept at work
quite busy every day;
They powed the land, they cut the grass
And gathered in the hay.
From Monday morning through six days
They toled in making hay.
Tomorrow we shall rest" they said,
Twill be the Sabbath day"
Not So" the governor declared,
" Stop not for Sabbath rest"
Finish the job and fill my barn,
This, this is my behest."
The men obcyed, the barn was filled;
But at the set of sun
The sky was overcast with clouds,
The thunder had begun
To fill the air with awful roar
And shake the very town;
What seemed a zigzag line of fire
Upon the barn came down.
The flames burst forth and of the barn
And all that 1t contained
The many tons Of new-mown hay
Ashes alone remained.
The governor thought upon his ways,
And then began to pray;
lie seemed to live Christian life
Until his dying day. LILA.

OVER THE CAPITAL CITY.
Complete Recital Of the Daily DOingS Com
piled From Various Sources
Happenings Over the City and News
From the Country Roundabout.


Perhaps something of the editor
of the late "Salem Mercantile Re
view" may be Of interest. The Cor
wallis Times says he came to Corval-
lis, having, been on n protracted
spree, and was broke. After issu-
ing his Review at Salem and
collecting 5000 for the puffs he
gave the business men, he returned
70 Portland, where he got as drunk
as a fiddler, and never sobered up
until he awoke one morning i'm AL
bany. There he borrowed $500
from a bartender, and came to Cor
wallis with the hope Of making an
other raise in similar manner but
he failed. He then tried to swap
his plug hat or pawn his Prince Al
bert for enough to get to Independ-
ence where he felt confident of sue
cess. He borrowed a dollar and start
ed for other fields and pastures new.
For the rest Of his sad experience
down the valley, you can ask r. c..
Presley, himself. 1t is not neces-
sary to add that Corvallis or Albany
did not nibble at his bait. Such
fakes-for such they are-should be
left severely alone. One dollar spent
with u legitimate publication like
the CAPITAL JOURNAL is worth
more than twenty times the sum
given to these sharpers. Remem-
ber this when you are solicited to

Salem is full of rumors OF the
appointments of Richard ii Dear
born as postmaster Of the capital
city.
The matter has been thoroughly
canvassed and this much is learned:
Mr.. Dearborn Monday received a
message from Charles Stewart OF
Washington telling him that the
appointment had been given to
him lDearborn.) Receiving no con-
firmation the truth Of the report
was doubted.
John Gray then telegraphed to
Henry H. Gilfrey, formerly of Sa-
lem, but at present reading clerk OF
the senate at Washington and this
morning received a message stating
that Mr.. .Dearborn's appointment had
been handed to the senate yesterday
(meaning Tuesday, This no doubt
settles it, and Richard Dearborn will
be our next postmaster. Mr.. Dear
born at present is in Portland, and

than the street rumor.

In This Wheat Buy And Buy,

At Albany yesterday a Dakota
man exhibited some wheat of his
native state, and told the Democrat
"That when we could raise wheat
like that, with our fine climate we
might amount to something here. "
Some Oregon wheat was produced
and the Dakota wheat became very
insignificant. Besides being small,
shriveled up, tired looking wheat, ii
is worth three to five cents n bushel
less than our wheat. 4 hundred
kernels of each We're weighed. The
Oregon wheat weighed just rs grains
and the Dakota wheat 81 grains,

sabbath Observance.

Important points brought out in
addresses by prominent men at the
Illinois Sabbath Association in Chi
capo last week. Here are a few Of
them: Sabbath-keeping can be
made to pay, materially as well as
sniritually; William E. Dodge
would never own dollar of stock in
Sunday-breqking road the road
which he controlled was a paying
institution, and he died worth seven
million dollars. Toronto, Canada,
and London, England, absolutely
stop all work connected with mails
for twenty-four hours every Sunday,
and no stagnation of business re-
suits.
The time has come when Christ
ians must put their foot on Sabbath
desecration, or it will hurry our ma
tion to destruction. Correct practice
on the part of the Church must
come before we can incorporate cor
rect principles in government. Sab
bath observance must have the
granite foundation of Sinai, to resist
the pressure of Sabbath desecration.
The Sabbath is the poor mans
college. Twenty-one years of quiet
Sabbaths spent as God means them
to be spent, will give as much time
and education as four years col
lege course. The bitter cry of the
Sabbathless tOilers goes up, like the
"Cry of London" or Mrs. Brown
ing's "Cry of the Children" The
North American Review estimates
that fifty-seven per cent Of employees
in factories, and more than seventy
five per cent of those engaged in
transportation, are obliged to work
seven days in the week. 1t is no
longer the few who suffer from this
cause Mt the very lowest estimate
they are million and half, one
out of every eight workers in our
nation.

Down in a Coal Mine.

Bill Watkinds says there is
excitement over the Santiam coal
discoveries. On the property in
which he is interested five shafts,
which are three inches in diameter,
have been sunk. At one point u
depth of l4O feet was attained. In
the bottom of this seam of fine lig-
mite coal, sixteen feet wide, was
found. In the middle shaft, half
way up the mountain, six and a
half feet of coal was found. In the
middle shaft seam six and a half
feet was found. AS depth is attained
the coal is drier and of better
quality than that found nearer the
surface.
The intention is to have a line
built from the narrow gauge road,
which is but six and halt miles
from the mlne. There is no bridge
ing to he done and the country is
level If the company owning the
narrow gauge does not build this
extension so as To secure the trade,
it is said the gentlemen owning the
coal mine will do the work.

Health is Good.

The doctors Of Salem tell us the
health of the city and surrounding
country is generally pretty good at
the present time. The smallpox
patients are doing nicely and will
all recover without being Oadly
pitted. Those afflicted with diph-
liberia across the bridge in Polk
county are well and this disease has
entirely disappeared. The fever
patients in North Salem are con-
Valescent and their immediate re-
covery is assured. There is some
typhoid fever at Silverton and also
two cases ut the prison hospital but
it is thought all will recover. In
the country there is very little sick
ness. The smallpox scare having
entirely abated, people now realize
that this disease is usually more
severe upon the nerves of those who
don't contract it than on the consti-
tutiOns of those who do.
