a Cheap Bonnet.
From the Chicago Mail.


I was in a millinery store on Wabash
avenue the other day when two ladies
met, kissed, and Immediately began
talking. One OF them said: "What a
duck OF a bonnet that is. Where did
you get it?" The other one said.
I'm glad you like it, for l was lust
dreadlng to see you for fear you would
say it was horrld. l have actually
lost sleep about meeting you. So you

she had not been answered, said:
'tIike it? / adore it. Turn around
and let's see how it looks behind"
The woman turned around two or
three times. Did you evernotice that

just think OF that!' You don't
say so,'' said the other one. The
woman with the bonnet said that she
would swear to it. Then, after both
departed, ] turned to the saleslady
behind the case, and asked, SIS

why lie Needed PRAYER.

Arkansaw Irave ler
The congregation of a church at
Elk Rock were much shocked upon
learning that their preacher had de-
parted under most discreditable cir
cumstances. On the following Sunday
it seemed to be the aim OF nearly
every one to hush up the scandal, and,
under great restraint, many uninter
esting conversations were held, merely
TO prove that the members OF the
church could arise above sensational
gossip. JUST before the services were
closed, Brother Elijah P. Brookrod
arose and said.
''Brethren and sisters, since we last
met III this house. something which
seems to have cast a, gloom over this
congregation has occurred. We were
all much attached to our minister; in
fact, we loved him, and 1 now propose
that we offer up prayer for the wan
derer."
A sensational wave swept over the
audience. Another brother arose.
and, turning to Elijah P. Brookrod,
said,
81 am astonished that YOU should
desire this congregation to pray for
our erring minlster-you, above all
Others"
"Why?"
"Becausa he ran away with your
wife"
eyes, I know" Elijah replied, ssand
that is the reason why I think that
he will need our prayers"

Fortunes Invested i'm Flowers

The extravagances OF the tulip
mania in Holland were not greater
than those Of some ofthe flower crazes
OF our rich men. We read Of $780,
900 worth Of orchids being sold at
auction, and among the mi.lionaires
who spend a part Of their surplus in
come in flowers is Erastus Corning OF
Albany. He has thousands of these
choice plants, and some OF them cost
several hundred dollars apiece. His
gardener offered $500 for an orchid at
Mrs. Morgan's auction, but a flower
fancier from New Jersey overbid him
$500 and. got the orchid for 5000.
Erastus Corning's greenhouses cover
about two acres. and his gardener has
been in his employ for 80 years. He
knows all about flowers and it costs
Mr.. Corning a good salary to keep
him. His flowers are OF all kinds, and
he raises oranges, lemons and bananas
IN these greenhouses. He has all kinds
OF tropical plants, and he welcomes Wis
ltors to his establishment. Jay
Gould has II greenhouses, and beds
of flowers OF all kinds are scattered
about the conservatory. He keeps
his plant collections perfectly CLASH
tied, and a man doesn't have to car
ry botany book along with him to
tell the names OF the plants he looks
at. The fern collection is especially
fine, and he has orchids of many va
rieties. It is the same with Mr.. Hoey,
who has the noted summer residence
at Long Branch, where, in winter,
thousands OF roses bloom, and where
he has acres of lighthouses and cost
ly plants. Alexander Mitcheli's con-
servatory was 100 feet long by TWEEN.
ty feet wide, and he had some plants
which had cost as high, as thousand
dollars. He had IS varieties OF palms,
and the largest india rubber tree in
America. In The centre Of it spouted
a fountain, and it's walls were curious
ly decorated. Attached to the con-
servatory there was greenhouse
800 feet long, and the plants of this
were carefully classified. One hundred
and fifty varieties Of azaleas were
kept here, and there were roses OF
nearly every known species.

AN exchange wants to know
what makes one town grow into a
city while others with good location
remain villages? II is because in
one case there are men of push and
energy, who are not afraid to spend
their time and money 10 boom their
town. They erect substantial build
ings, organize stock companies aud
establish factories and secure ril-
roads, work for public improve
ments and use every means in their
power TO induce people to locate in
their city. They send newspapers

OREGON SHOULD REACH OUT.

Reports from the eastern and
middle states indicate n large exodus
of farmers to other states, where
they hope TO better their condition
and avoid the cold winters, the
droughts and floods, the blizards
and hurricanes, the plaques of
grasshoppes and chinch bugs,
which seem TO be their only lot at
home. Where these people will go
depends upon the amount and
character Of literature placed before
them 10y the hundreds of advertis-
ing agents from the west and south.
Every state and territory west Of
the Missouri river has it's agents
throughout the east disseminating
knowledge OF its particular locality,
while hundreds of real estate firms,
corporations or colonies have their
private immigration boards for their
particular schemes.
No country offers better
inducements in the way of never
falling crops, equahle climate,
varied and undeveloped resources,
wealth of agricultural land, and of
forest and mine, than Oregon. This
state possesses in itself the diversi-
fled resources of a nation, and with
development is capable of support
ing millions Of people. That popu-
lation will come in time there is no
doubt but m the meantime other
localities with their highly colored
literature are endeavoring to attact
the dissatisfied farmer of the east.
Without prompt advertising they
are let In Ignorance OF the
characteristics OF this state.

THE AMERICAN SOLDIER.

The remnant of the Seventh regi-
ment had reunion and dinner in
New York a few days ago and Cen
eral Sherman was called upon and
made u speech in which he paid
glowing tribute to the American
soldier. One phrase employed by
by the old hero awakens a world of
thought. He said:
"The soldier is a man; not a
musket." The American soldier is
indeed a man; not a mere machine,
When the great civil war came up
on the country like a tornado the
little army of 25,OOO soldiers was
scattered far and wide throughout
the states and territories.
The fate of the union depended
upon the patriotism of the people,
not upon numerical strength and
discipline of a standing army, upon
which nearly every other govern
ment on earth depends for support
and preservation in times of danger.
The strength and permanency of
our institutions were tested in a
degree to which no republican form
of government had ever before been
subjected. When the call was made
for hundred of thousands of her
citizens to leave home, family and
fresidd and submit themselves to
the hardships and dangers of a
dreadful war, the farmer, mechanic,
laborer, merchant, lawyer, doctor,
in short, all classes of citizens re-
sponded to the call and went forth
in defense of the country. When
the great object of the war was ac-
complished the soldiers returned to
their homes and became at once
good, industrious, law-abiding citi-
zens. The American soldier is
indeed ga man, not a musket"

THE typhoid fever, it has been
ascertained by scientists, is generally
caused by the existence in the water
used for domestic purposes of minute
animalculae, which are visible
only by the aid of the most power
full magnifying glasses. 1t has
been proven that these microbes
are generated 10y contact with sew
age products, and are taken into
the system through the use of such
water, passing from the digestive
system to the circulating system of
the human body and multiplying
in such enormous numbers rs to
change the character of the blood
and bring on the dangerous and
contagious diseases known as ty-
phoid fever, diphtheria, etc. These
are facts accepted generally by the
medical fraternity, and may be
termed scientific in their character.
The feand habits of these microbes
have been studied by eminent
practitioners, and it has been ascer-
tanned that they can be and are
destroyed by boiling the water con-
tanning them Mt the highest temper
ature, this process rendering it
perfectly innOcuous and healthy.
In many cities where the water
supply is taken from the rivers
subject to pollution, or from springs
of doubtful character, great many
people resort to boiling all of the
water used in their HOUSEHOLDS.
The trouble of this is something, of
course, and the water so heated
lacks the life and vigor of fresh
spring water, but this difference is
not perceptible or disagreeable after
a little use. The typhoid poison is
etfectually removed by killing the
fungus life which sewerage water
has impaired TO 1t.

For hundreds of years, since
movable types were first invented,
but very few improvements in the
mode of making and using them
have been introduced. While
mans inventive genius has sub
stituted the electric light for the
tallow candle, the overland and
submarine telegraph and the
lightning express for the courier
post and numbering stage coach, the
one method has existed down to
this 1883 of picking up types by

The amount Of money spent in ad-
vertising will soon bear its fruit, and
there will be a large immigration
next year. But the work Of scat
tering information throughout the
east should not stop, The indirect
benefits accruing to a state by a
proper advertisement of her re-
sources can not be estimated in dol
lars and cents, but a rapid growth of
population will bring untold wealth
i'm its train, and her citizens will be
benefited by the outlay.

FATE itself would be powerless to
heck the development of Los Angeles
city and the section to which it stands in
the relation of metropolis. All signs
point to such rush of people in here
next winter as the history of mankind
cannot parallel. The tide may reach to
POO, 900, or even higher. To San Fran
cisco will come the Teachers National
Association this summer. Like the
Grand Conclave of Knights Templar :;
like the Grand Eneampment OF the G.
A. r. organization, these repre-
sentative people will return home,
and each of them will send
half dozen friends out next winter to
visit California. To our own city will
come the Sovereign Grand Lodge of the
l. o. o, F. Here will be another multi
tudinous body OF representative men.
They, too, will return East overiowing
with enthusiasm about this section.
Their tales OF what they saw here, will
set an army in motion to see foriithem-
selves the things they are hearina about.

ont regard to American industries but with
stroug leaning toward the British system.

The Chronicle does not need to be told
that the above item is false in every allie

lutely nothing, on which to base
the statements made. The Mills bill is
the exponent to-day OF Democratic tariff
principles. The Presidents message
