DuLY.-A fair audience greeted Billy
Arlington last evening at the Opera
House. Arlington Is one Of the Oldest
minstrels In the United S,ates,and Though
he has seen his best day, does some good
work yes,and Is exceedingly funny on oe-
oaslons. Those who attended were disap-
pointed In hearing something much better
rom Billy than they anticipated. One
newly applied joke run about Ike this. He
had lost valuable diamond In the sea. and
n hal been swallowed by whale. Tne
whale was caught.
sWhat do you supyose was In Il p
~why the diamond ring,of course"
"No, several Albany real estate men
playing sevsn-up to see which should pay
for the Oregoniln ad."
Mr. C f Barrows sang "The Warrior
Bold" Ia fine shape, and was heartily ap-
Plauded. He has a very pleasant barrow
tone veice which we hope ts hear him on
many other occasions. The drill under
charge Of Sergeant Overman was an In
terssting isstnre of the entertainment.
Ger THE DYsPEPsIA has the
green eyed msnster bad, and Is hunting uP
all the mean things II can get about her
prosperous nsighbor, who is slowly but
surely OutstriPping her in the race for the
lead in the Willamette valley, and in a
business way Is already in the lead. That
paper says that gentlsman from Albany
(who knows) writes the Statesman as fol-
lows concerning Atbany's pure water and
big electric light plant IL read in the
norninx Herald Of the statements made
BY the mar that wrote tbs advertisement
for Albany He said that allth statements
In the Oregonian were true. | know Of
two 81 them that are not true. He said
the water was pure. II he had seen what
comes down the ditch that supplies the
town with water he would see that he was
mistaken. There have been dead pigs,
chickens and musk rats taken from that
ditch This can be proved. Albany burns
20 arc lampsali told, which makes great
difference between 81 lamps on each ma
chine, a. claimed by the Herald. These
statements are true and car be proved II
necessary"
AN SwILL, a Salem Chinaman was
arrested and fined S. for beating a horse
In Salem this week. Had the offender
been a white man with vote. no attention
would have been paid TO him in all prob
ablIity.-SiIvertcn appeal.
The above happened Ia Albany, instead
of In Salem, AID, II An Swill had been a
white man, and as brutal, he would have
been nabbsd just az quickly. Twenty
white men are arrested 10 Albany to one
Celestial, and there has never been a
MongoIian arrested here who didn't de-
serve to be. That's Albany's style. Color
or nationality has nothing to do with the
matter.
A MEAN MAS.-There is evidently a
very mean man living near Browns.
vile. who deserves having a Hamilton
creek detective put on his track, judging
from the following from the Brownsville
Times: "Some low down, miserable
scoundrsl, one nishtlast week, did The das-
tardly act Of cutting down the wire fence
Of Mr. Geo Overton, who lives few miles
south Of town. Some dirty sneak, has had
a spite at Mr. Overton for a year or so
during which time fine barn, mile or &C
Of fence, and a stock barn filed with hay
have been burnvd. Whoever tore down
the fence this time was not satisfied with
merely tearing II down, but went so far
AZ to cut beth wires some 30 or 70 times
DA RELIC. while overhauling an old
picture Mr Gerhard, of this city, found an
cid poster advertising an entertainment to
be held at Music Hall, Corvallis, on Dec
g., 1859, for the benefit of the College al
that place. Mr Blowhard and other'
were to take part In a genuine "ye ole
folks"show. Mr. Gerhard will send the pos
ter 70 the Agricultural College to be
placed among its curiositiss.
A PARTr.-Last Tuesday young peo
pies party was given at the residence o.
Mr. StrsIney, adjoining the Masonic com
stery. About forty young people attends
from the city. The evening was spent il
games Of an amusing nature and the occa
sion was generally declared one full o
enjoymsnt, including the bracins wal
there and back.
Nor SAILED YET.-The s.orm at III
Bay continues, and Il Is generally report
ed the heaviest for many years. On aC
count of the manner in which the wave
beat over the bar, now deep and In goo
condition, the Steamer Willamette Vale
has thought best not 10 sail yet and whe
she will leave port depends on the cond
tion Of the storm.
A BRILLIANT MAE.-Silverton has
citizen over fifty years old who has reside
IN the city for the last eleven years al
has not been out Of town farther than tvs
miles in the whole time, says the APPe'
Does net know Of several cities having
many as seven thousand Inhabitants. Do
not know where Salem and many 9th
large cities are situated.
