THE KINGS MANOR HOUSE.
Where the United States Is Represented
in Old York.

Where the United States Is Represented
in Old York.
One Of the checkered, ivy grown bits of old
York as it was under the Tudors and Stuarts
is the kings manor house, which is in part
the building where the wealthy cbbots of st.
Mary's dispensed princely hospitality. Little
of the abbatial palace remains except the
wide and heavy staircase. Here successive
n,onarchs were received, and here Charles II
held parliament. Now, after instructive
vicissitudes, it is school for the blind; and
as such, the county memorial of the immortal
philanthropist William WHEREFORE Sixty
blind children here receive education and
instruction in useful handicrafts. Quadran-
gular of form, and of architecture in which
the Jacobean predomirates, it is warningly
suggestive of coughs, colds and rheumatlsms,
which, strange to say, are not there in I'M

some of the rooms.
The Thursday concert of the inmates is in
progress as we enter The performance of
the blind organist and the tones of the lead
ing female vocaliSt-of singular purity,
pitch, precision, and compass somehow or
other sound like voices of the receding past.
An unconscious undertone, lameuting ire
coverable loss and breathing unutterable
yearning for completeness of life, enters into
the melody. 1t plaintively appeals to what
is tenderest and most Christlike in the au-
dience, and meets fullest response from the
most highly gifted natures.
The United States are graciously repre-
sented here by raised and dissected maps,
books in the Boston raised and in the New
York point type, and writing guides, pre-
sented by the American Printing House for
the Blind at Louisville, Ky; wool work
articles and books presented by Mr.. Anag-
nos, superintendent OF TIE Perkins Institu-
ton and Massachusetts, School for the Blind
and by pathetic lace collar worked by the
deaf, dumb and blind Laura Bridgman. All
these lent added interest to the jubilee of the

HAPPINESS.

This perfect love can ind no words to say
What words are left, still sacred for our use
That have notsuf1ered the sad worlds abuse,
And figure forth gladness dimmed and gray!
Let US be Silent stin, since words convey
But Swallowed images, wherein we lose
The fulness of iove's Hight; our lips refuse
The fluent commonplace OF yesterday.
Then shall we hear beneath the brooding wing
OF silence what abiding voices sleep,
The primal notes of nature, that outring
Mans little noises, MARBLE he or weep,
The song the morning stars together sing,
Tho sound Of deep that calleth unto deep.

Organizing "a Company.

A gentleman is in this city in the
interest of a projected mining com
pany, the operations of which are to
be in the vicinity of the Santiam-
provided he is successful in placing
the requisite amount Of stock.
The mines are located in what is
said to be by far the richest lead on
the Santiam, but it will take good
capital to develop them. The mines
are quartz and water will have to be
brought d considerable distance.
But already the gentleman has met
with quite flattering success and IT
Is probable that the next news this
writer will have to record In relation
TO this scheme will be the incorpora-
ton of II big mining company. Old
miners say that il there IL any rich
mining on the Santiam it must be
In the viclnage of this company's
claim.

No Dress Rcfnrm Cor Her.

AE indignant woman thus invites
men who talk about dress reform to
mind their own business: "Now,
why should man bother about the
health of petticoats?. He doesn't
have to wear them. The Lord didn't
build him so that he was to have
them hung around his hips, and
when He made woman He did.
Those maryels of lace and silk We're
thought of, and it was known that
their appearance would be entirely
spoiled if they were slung from her
shoulders by pair of braces. Take
any wild country where civilized
dress is unknown, where the natural
woman is found, and you will dis
cover that she carries her baby on
her hips and pitcher of water on
her head, but that she slings moth
ing over her shoulders. / think it
is only necessary for mankind to
trouble themselves about the way
we wear our petticoats when we
raise objection to the adjustment of
his trousers"

Rich Mineral Wealth,

There Is no longer any doubt rs to
the richness Of the Santiam mines.
Old and experienced miners think
that the outlook for this locality is as
good or better than any other dis
trlct on the coast. The writer had
the pleasure of meeting Mr.. Warner,
successful mine speculator from
Montana and Idaho, who had some
fine specimens that he had collected
from the various lodges and wash
ings from some of the decayed rock
which We're sufficient to make the
eyes Of any old miner glisten, One

OCCIDENTAL JOTJINGS.

1t is reported that the summer run
of salmon in lower Rogue river this
year is the heaviest ever known,
the river being black with fish, and
the catch is so great that Humes

difficult to take care of the few
strays that manage to evade the
fish traps and dams and get into the
upper river.
The extensive mountain fires have
almost ruined the outside range in
some of the best stock sections of
Jackson county. In the Meadows
the fire which started some weeks
ago at the head of Sans creek has
been eating its way to the high di-

ever since, destroying much timber
and cleaning out the browse and

Very many physicians throughout

will make a discount, and deliver
the goods later and all that was
necessary was for the farmer to sign
a contract to pay for the goods when
delivered, which they did, and now
find it note they signed instead of
a contract, and that the notes are in
the hands of the bankers of Farm

An Indiana man has just written
to the secretary of the interior stat
ing that he wants $500. He says
he is old and feeble and needs the
money, and thinks the government
ought TO give it to him. He there
fore asks the secretary for the
amount suggested, and requests
that it be forwarded as soon as pos
sible. An Ohio man is little more
modest III his request. He says he
has farm of $40 acres, and that it
is mortgaged for $1,000. That
amount, he says, will just exactly
get him out of debt and start him
square with the world, the GAO acres
of land, of course being on the cred

MIX And Honey.

A peculiar condition Of the South
Fork of the Santiam now exists, as
1t does every autumn. On the upper
river are extensive chalk banks,
which during the excessive dry
weather crumble down into the
river, giving 1t milky whiteness.
This is so marked that newcomers
on first beholding the peculiar sight
wonder indeed if they have found
that country "where milk and honey
fow." This condition of the river
is death to trout fishing, as no fish
can be found In the stream until it
runs clear again later in the fall.
