HUSTON BOUNCED.

Hereafter the friends of Treasurer
Huston will find him at the Ebbitt
House. When Mr.. Huston first took
his Family to Washington, he went
to the Ebbitt and intended to make
his permanent home at that house.
But he was so besiegcd with office
seekers that he came to the conclu-
sion that it was too convenient for
those persons and too public for
man who wanted few minutes to
himself during the day or night.
He was sought hourly by hundreds of
Indianians in search of office. In the
hope of avoiding them in IA measure,
he recently moved to quiet family
hotel newly opened on Fourteenth
street. Washington reports say that
those of Mr.. Huston's friends who
called on him Monday night were sur
prised to find him packing up to move.
"What's up?" inquired caller.
"Going TO leave; l can't stand this
hotel" quickly replied the Treasurer.
The proprietor was sought and in ex-
PLANTATION he said: Mr.. Huston is one
of the most perfect gentleman | know,
and | like his family, but would
not keep him here for $500 day.
This is a private family hotel, and
wherever he is there is always a
swarm of Hoosier Offices seekers.
Why, these fellows come here to hunt
up Treasurer Huston before the cooks
are up in the morning, and the tramp
of their feet is heard late at night.
They wear out the carpets, keep the
Railways crowded, and perfect
slam of the doors. 1t became so an
noying that | had to tell Mr.. Huston
to hunt another place to live. 1t is
worse than an Indiana convention u
This is probably the first instance on
record where landlord has been
compelled to request guest as de-
sirable as Mr.. Huston to leave his
house. Several personal friends
among the other boarders left also.
Mr.. Huston's friends are inclined tc
tease him good-naturedly for having
been turned out of his hotel.

In spite OF all the information that
has been sent broadcast over the
Eastern states concerning the great
Northwest, it is most remarkable to
find so many well informed men who
have entirely wrong ideas of the
country and everything concerning
it. Only the other day gentleman
in this city received letter from
Des Moines, in which the writer SAYS
ho has information that the railroad
companies are booming this country
for their own advantage; that the
climate is too wet to produce any
thing, and coal can be had only for
$40 ton. People who are imbued
with these impressions can not be
persuaded out of such ideas. They
are there to stay. But their well
fixed convictions might he unsettled
il they could have heard the people
grumbling for rain. Then coal can
be had for $40. AS for the railroads
booming this country there is occasion
to deny such statement. There is
no truth in it. Portland Vindicator.

Robert G. Ingersoll says: 81
would rather go to the forest, far
away, and build me little cabin
build it myself and daub it with clay,
and have the winding path leading
down to the spring where the water
bubbles out, day and night, whisper
lug poem of white pebbles, from
the heart of the earth; a little hut
with some hollyhocks at the corner,
with their hammered bosoms open to
the sun, and hush in the air like a
winged joy-l would rather live there
and have some lattice work across the
window so that the sunlight would
fall oheckered on the babe in the
oradle---I would rather live there
with my soul erect and free, than in
a palace of gold, and wear a crown of
imperial power, and feel that l was a
superstitious, cringing slave and dare
not speak my honest thoughts.

In that primitive newspaper, the
New York Packet, there appeared In
May, 1889, just after the Inaugural
ton of George Washington as Presi-

4" A cook is wanted for the family of
the President of the United States.
No one need apply who is not perfect
in the business and can bring indubit-
able testimonials of sobriety, honesty
and attention to the duties of the

"A dispatch of April 30th says that
the Aurora mine, in Wisconsin, is at
present the scene of the most disas-
trous fire that has ever taken place
on the Gogeblc range. The fire was
raging underground and two of the
main shafts had already been con-
sumed. 1t is thought that 400 men
will be thrown out of employment in
consequence.

DEMOCRAT: Nm. Paxton was in.
jured internally the other day while
engaged in moving a house. The
crowbar he was using slipped and
gave him a fearful wrench. The
Oregon Short Line is doing a heavier
freighting and passenger traffic than
any other rans-continental road.
This speaks volumes in favor of a
route running along the Boise river.

Poetic.

A North Idaho man gives vent to
his experience through the Star of
Idaho as follows:
81 stood on the bridge at midnight,
as drunk as son OF gun, two moons
rose over the city, where there ought
to have been but one. | could see
their bright reflection in the water
under me, and | experienced feel
ing of wonder and great curiosity.
If only one had been there, / would
not have been ia doubt, but what
two moons were doing | could not
well make out. The tide was slowly
ebbing; could hear the waters roll,
as | stood in the wavering shadows
to hide from the night patrol. How
often, o! how often, in the days of
auld lang sine, have crossed the
bridge at midnight, aud got left ev-
cry time. But tonight | was hot
and restless, and my mind was full
of care; and the walk that lay before
me was more than / could bear. /.
had no latch-key with me, and locked
would be the door, and / would have
to sit in the doorway, as oft | had
done before. I'd have to sit in the
doorway in agony and fear, till
voice said from the window; "Did
the lodge keep late my dear?" So
tonight | stood there dreaming, and
watched the restless tide, till cop
came with wagon and invited me to
ride"

A prevalent notion throughout the
country is that government employ
ment in Washington is equivalent to
financial prosperity. Yet there is no
other city of the size of the capital
in which SO few of the residents own
homes. Government clerks are not
like mercantile employees, tradesmen,
mechanics and professional assistants
in other cities. They rarely buy or
build houses, or acquire bank ac-
counts. Efforts to build medium cost
houses here and sell them out on the
installment plan have not met with
much success. Many suburban town
sites have been laid out, but it seems
impossible to coax the salaried popu-
lstion out of the rented dwellings
and boarding houses in the heart of
the city, whore rents are out of all
proportion to the value OF the proper
ty and conveniences of the houses or
apartments Daily Saratogian.

There Is much complaint among
the Astoria fishermen about the scar
city of salmon this year. One cause
OF the scarcity is SAID to be the large
number of sea lions at the mouth of
the Columbia. They devour several
thousand fish every day. Something
should be done to rid the river of
these animals.

Everywhere the Legislatures as
we'll rs economists are struggling
with the question CT "ballot reform"
The AustI allan system is assumed as
the ideal basis. The object of this
system is secrecy and freedom from
intimidation, and as consequence
purity. 1t originated in South Aus
trsha in 1857; was introduced into
Great Britain in 1872, and has slowly
won the approval of reformers every
where. Louisville, KY, first adopt
ed it III America in IS, although some
parts OF the scheme were previously
introduced elsewhere, as in Wiseon-
sin. Massachusetts, has law al
ready passed, to take effect in No
vember, 1889. Indiana and Rhode
Island have fallen into line very re-
Gently, and other States are in the
throes of discussion or have just passed
bills favorable. The new scheme
breaks up the "machine;" and that is
enough to say for it.

stupendous undertaking. 1t will re-
view every business and occupation,
all industries and manufacturers, and
furnish to the world vast mass of
information compiled and arranged
with care and skill. 1t will be like

a given day and push their inquiries
through town and country, from house

is done and inquiries are exhausted,

quantity OF statistics until the facts
are all in shape to BIO read and di-

The intelligence of shepherd dogs
is one OF the weil-known facts OF ca
nine history, and many stories are
told OF the manner in which they dis
tinguish sheep by the different marks.
A shepherd dog without sheep feels
that his occupation is gone, especially
il he has been been trained to herd a
flock. Not long ago the people of a
small town were in great distress.
Not child could be found. After a
long search there was a great outcry.
All the small children of the village
were found in a deserted yard
watched over by a shepherd dog.
Nor having any sheep, he had fol-
lowed his instinct by collecting all
the kids OF the place into one fold.

Although geologists are accus-
toned to deal with considerable al
terations of level as one of the causes
operating to bring about profound
changes in the topography of many
regions, it has always seemed diff
cult to conceive, remarks recent
writer, that the vast depression in the
face of the earth now occupied by
the sea could ever have been subject
to such tremendous changes as would
be necessary to convert them into
land. Many biologists, therefore,
approaching this difficulty, are in
clined to believe in the general per-
manence, during all time, of the great
oceanic beds and of the continental
areas. To account for the origin of
the oceanic basins, writer in re-
cent issue of the Geological Magazine,
proceeding on the theory of Prof.
Darwin, that the moon broke away
from the earth more than 100000
years ago, expresses the opinion that
the ocean basins may be the scars
left by the breaking off of the moons
mass, when that prodigious segrega-
ton took place, and that the base
ment rocks of the continents are
fragments or portions of the crust,
which had already been in solidi-
fed state, and which were left be-
hind.
