"Pye heard so SINCE" said Mrs. Jones, sharp
ly; and turning to our second child, who was
asking for the wingbone, raped him over the
head exclaiming, Haven't / told you to wait
till you're helped? Take that, now, and learn
manners"
allowed minute or more to elapse in or
der that my wife's ebullition might subside.
when remarked:
Mrs Mowbray, it seems, expected to meet
her sisters here"
al shouldn't wonder if she did," snappishly
said Mrs. Jones, looking down into her plate
joint.
"When she found +" | continued, that her
sisters were not asked, she grew indignant. She
heard the reason, it seems. Your friend Mrs.
Wharton, whom you have made confdante
told some lady, who told her, and hence her
anger"
"Pm sure l don't care if never see the
proud thing again." said my wife, reddening
very much, but still without looking up. "One
would never have supposed that she was SIS
ter to the Misses Howell"
After another pause passed | said:
Ibid you call on Mrs. Mowbray, as you in
tended?'
Mrs. Jones was silent for a full minute, and
seemed half disposed to decline answering al
together; but finally she blurted out her reply
as follows:
.Yes, did, since you must know. She was
not at home-so at least the footman said, but
if didn't see her at the drawing-room win
dow" and here she burst into tears of mortifi-
cation and rage, may / never eat another
mouthful"
saw that it would not do to continue the
conversation; so quietly ate my dinner, kiss
ed the children and went my way.
OF course the intimacy of my wife with Mrs.
Mowbray ceased from that fatal party; and |
am sorry to say that the Misses Howell have,
as the phrase goes, ''cut our acquaintance"

EELS THAT SCALE PRECIPICES.

One of the most novel sights in the spring of
the year, at the rocks of the Willamette Falls,
is the swarms of gyrating eels. They are friski-
ness itself, and show low order of intelligence.
If you put your hand in the water over the
eels, of spit ON it, instantly they are gone; But
poke a stick down among the snaky things
and they do not notice it, The sense of smell
seems to be their main guard against danger
Like salmon, they do their level best to dart
up the rocks in order to ascend the river, and
with good success. Says fisherman:
II have seen as many as hundred bushels
of eels hanging on the rocks at one time by
the suckers of the mouth. They would wiggle
and fiutter their tails, and by the momentum
thus obtained, letting go with the suckers

ing eels, and would silently pick off barrel after

THE PEOPLE HAVE SOME RIGHTS

Whether a railroad company is compelled to
let a passenger ride free in its cars, in case it
does not give him seat, is a question over
which there has been a good deal of dispute
and we believe some litigation. Just what the
present status of the matter is We do not know,
but the termination of case of this kind in
Philadelphia on Tuesday would seem to hint
the equities were on the side of the public. A
gentleman doing business in the city but resid-
ing in the country, had a Communication ticket
over the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad,
calling for frst-class seat. As usual, he boarded
the train on last Saturday, but it was crowded
and he had to stand. He refused to pay fare
when the conductor came along, unless provi-
ded with seat. The conductor threatened to
put him off The gentleman said he would
not, and he was right in so saying. butthe con-
ductor teegraphed to the stopping station for
a police officer, and when the train arrived he
was taken into custody, not, however, without
the passenger demanding the officer should
show his warrant which, however, he could
not do. The man was taken before a magis-
trate. who held him for a hearing in his own
recognizance. At this further hearing, how
ever the company withdrew the prosecution
and the case was dropped. This would virtual
ly seem an acknowledgement that the company
was wrong and the man right. This is COM
mon sense. A railroad company which issues
tickets guaranteeing seats in its cars is bound
to furnish them. If does not it violates its
agreement and cannot ferefore hold the other
parties to theirs. There has been good deal
of imposition on the public in this matter

A STAY-AT-HOME POEM.
Where are you going, my pretty maid p
"Out into the country. sir" she said.

Where are you going, my pretty maid ~
"Out into the country, SIR she said.
Where the grass is green and the milk is blue,
And the little bedroom will not hold two.
Where the sun shines down with a red-hot
glare;
And not an inch of shade anywhere;
Where the folks are hospitable, gracious and
bland
million mosquitoes reach out for your hand
Where the dishes are cracked and the knives are
of yOre,
And the cockroach smiles-he's been there be-
fore (you);
Where the peaches are ripe-canned up in can,
And the bathings fine-in a small tin pan;
Where the waiter is true to his name he waits,
And the butter suggests deep thoughts of dates,
Where the song of the tree-toad is like brass
And the spring chickens bear Mr.. Noahs brand I;
Where are eggs-and fresh-but you are the
latter
And you fume-and smlewhie you list to the
clatter
OF geese and ducks and guinea hens;
The calf is dead, and pigs in the pens;
Till you turn in despair to the landlords chat
ter,
And feel yourself going as mad as a halter
"And why do you go, my pretty maid ?'
"Me boarder's me fortune, sir,' she said.
Edna Sheldrdke.

What it Costs Laborers to Strike.

From few statistics hastily gathered we lind
that the labor strikes of eight years succeeding
1881 were upward of 5000 in number More
than 1,S70,0O0 employees were involved, and
the total loss of wages was upward of $S5, ,0OO,-
900. Similar figures might be adduced for any
period of years which would show like results.
When it is taken into account that at least one
half of these strikes were failures and many
more of them gaining only small and tenn
wrongs can be intelligently formed = Baltimore

Plenty at voters i'm town arr willing tO
wager that A~naconda's registry will
crowd u round two thousand when the
clock strikes ten next Saturday night.
The town has been thoroughly caDvassssi
from end IN end. Democrats started in
at the business before the state delegates
were fairly Out of town. and they have
been putting i'm their hest ticks ever since.
The local republicans were "a little tarsly
i'm getting started. Int they have been
awake his week, and their war cry is
that no voter shall escape.
There's plenty of political activity in
town. You hear politics talked ON every
corner. and the. rival candidates on the
county ticket are making effort to get i'm
tn the current of popular favor. If there
il any break in In democratic forces, mo-
intelligence to that effect has reached the
offices. A great deal of quiet
work is going on, and the prediction may
confidently be made that the democratic
majority i'm this city will bc "a total that

Many Inquiries are afoat regarding the
practical operation Of the Australian sys-
