The poultry en- the place are cafErtIly
looked after, and the forty hens had furnished
the family and given eggs for sale. Year be-
fore last $50 dozen eggs were sold.
The two cows furnish a wealth of milk and
butter, and there is always aplenty of every

Miss Smith is known throughout Talbot
county, and her independence and success
have won. great respect for her among the
neighbors, among whom her history is quoted
as an example. She and her sister took spe-

they said they did not wish people to think
that they could not do fine work because

Wherefore shut the sunshine out!

To give some people good cigars is but
casting pearls before swine. They don't
know how to light them. The best Havana"
that is imported" from New York will yield
but vile, unsatisfactory smoke if lighted so
as to not burn in a clear ring all around and
evenly. The outside, or wrapper, is Of the
best tobacco; the next, the binder" is of a
poorer grade, while the bulk of the cigar, the
filler" is the poorest. They are assorted
with the intent that they be burned to-
gether. When this is done the result is del
icate and gratifying smoke. Light even
poor cigar thoroughly, keep the cinder mod
eratelv close, so it will not break off right at
the fire, and ON my word as a connoisseur you
will enjoy t.-St Louis Globe-Democrat.
Changes I'm stoves.
An improbable condition of the stove man
ufacturing business is induced by the prao
tice of adding to the size or capacity of
stove, to its beauties, its embellishments, or
to its conveniences without also making
corresponding increase in the prices. One
firm will try to make its standard goods
more'lesirable by charging the oven an inch,
another will add foot rail, another an extra
nickel plate attraction or more costly urn;
another shelves or kettle racks, nickel
poker or litter, and so on. Each, of course,
adds something to the cost. This has become
so prevalent that in the past few years
stoves, instead of being articles of mere use
and convenience, plainly and cheaply made,
have become objects of art, extensively pro-
duced, while the prices, relative to the former
cost of Materials labor and Contingent ex-
penses, have practically remained without
any adequate increase. 80 Interview in St

During our absence last week an
item crept into the local columns
which has stirred up considerable
feeling. 1t was in relation to the
death of Judge Handy, aud the
writer of it, supposing truth was de-
manded, said the deceased was an
old loafer, hummer, drunkard and
dead-beat, and that he was found
dead beside jug Of whiskey. The
friends of the deceased we:e justly
indignant at this expose, although
they do not dispute the charges. We
are very sorry that anything of the
sort should happen, and are now
preparing an article for next week, in
which the Judge is complimented for
his sobriety and love of cold water
praised for his honesty and integrity
-complimented for his public ehari-
ties, and referred to as one of the
most upright men west of Chicago.
While all know better, and while the
whole thing will be a falsehood. we
shall be smoothing it over for his
friends. Extra copies, done up ready
for mailing, only 5 cents each.-Ari-

Is Marriage a Failure.

A writer in the New York Star says
OF Eugene Wetherell, Emma Abbott's
husband, who died a week ago: 81
knew Gene Wetherell. l think he
was the luckiest man l ever saw in
my life. 1 ran the Springfield, ILL.,,
opera house one season, shortly after
Wetherell took charge of his wife's
company. He was anxious to leave
town early one morning. The CON-
pany was expected the next week.
He was on his way to Kansas City
and had stopped over to see about a
trihing matter his advance agent had
overlooked. He wanted to take an
early morning train, but the clerk at
the hotel forgot to call him. When
l saw him at the hotel Office about 9
o'clock he was storming around like
O wild man. He said he had a real
estate trade in Kansas City that he
would have to attend in person, and
this delay might cost him $4,000.
While we were talking n dispatch
came for him from New York. telling
him OF prospective fall in a railroad
stock he was interested in. 1t would
not have reached him if lie had taken
the train. He closed out his stock at
q profit of $1,000. That afternoon he
took the western train. L didn't see
him for three months after that. He
told me then that his delay of a few
hours in Springfield, instead of harm
ing his trade, had made the real es-
tate seller more anxious to dispose of
his property than ever, and he bought
it $1,000 below the price first agreed
upon. Altogether that hotel clerk
made $1,000 for him. I believe that
if he had stuffed his knees and fallen
on the pavement he would have found
q 500 bill. Wetherel left nearly
$2,0O0,000 in property. 1t certainly
seems as if it was better to be born
lucky than rich, doesn't it,"

PORTLAND's WATER BONDS.
IN Unanswerable Argument Against
Exemption.
ASTORIA, Feb. s. 80

ASTORIA, Feb. s. 80
EDITOR Historian.
In an editorial of yesterdays ore.
gonian in which Governor Pennoyer
is scored for vetoing the Portland
water bill, an effort is made TO argue
that it is not unconstitutional to ex-
empt the water bonds of the city Of
Portland. | say an attempt is made
to argue, because no argument is
made, none can be made, on that side
OF the question. The OTegOniQR ad-
mit5 that the bonds, when disposed
of, become private property, and if
that is true it admits the whole case
away. Whenever they become pri-
vgte property, they become taxable,
under the constitution, and the legis-
tature has no power TO exempt them.
Any attempt TO do so IS an attempt
to override the constitution. But
the Oreg07lian urges this course.
That journal, which claims TO be, and
is the leading journal of the north
west urging the members Of the legls-
lature to disregard their oaths. and do
violence TO the constitution Of the
state Is indeed 10 be regretted. lturges
that If these bonds are taxed II Will
drive them out of the state where
they cannot lie reached; but 1t fails
to remark, that in that event, the
money of Portland, and which would
otherwise purchase those bonds will
remain subject 70 taxation by the
state; that is to say. II the bonds are
not taxed, the rich men of Portland
will Put S1,50000Oof their money into
these bonds, and thus place it where
it can't be taxed. But the OTegOni0t
says it will 1nure to the benefit of
the city of Portland. That Is true,
and we who do not live in Portland,
will be called upon TO help pay for
that benefit to Portland by helping
to make up the amount Of state tax,
lost to the state by the withdrawal of
that S1,500,000 from the taxable prop
erty of Multnomah county. Then
every other municipality in the state
will follow in the path mapped ont
by the municipality of Portland, and
We who live in incorporated towns
and cities will ride IN chaises and the
poor unfortunates who live outside
will walk up
and pay their extra taxes.
have heard it argued that this
100000 which will go into those
bonds Is not reached, at the present
time, for purposes Of taxation;
but that it is covered up. Well that
may be true, but our legislature could
spend its time more pToftably in
trying to find some means to reach
such property for the purpose of tax
alton, than in trying to exempt it, in
violation Of both the letter and the
spirit of the constitution.
The Multnomah delegation il the
legislature have urged the passage OF
this bill on the ground that it will
give the poor people of Portland
cheap water. Other members should
consider that if it succeeds in that
respect it will be at the expense OF
other poor people, who reside outside
Of Portland. and are obliged 10 pay
taxes, and are rs much in need and
entitled to consideration Is the poor
people of Portland.

An Unlicensed Pilot.

In the United States district court
this morning Charles Kellogg plead
ed guilty to acting as pilot without a
license, and was fined 800.
1t appears from the complaint that
on the 9th of last November, and at
various other times between that date
and December 10 he took charge of
the steamer known as the Joseph
Kellogg, which ran on the Willamette
and Columbia rivers, and handled her
as master. The law bearing upon
the subject is not laid down for the
sake of its ornamental features, it
seems, but for actual business.-Port.
