HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.

The Capitol Adventure Co. was
incorporated in March, 1886. Their
principal business house and office
are in the Opera House, double cor
ner on Court and Liberty streets,
Salem. They do a general merchan-
disc business, and in connection do
an auctioneering and commission
business, buy and sell real estate,
cattle, horses and also act as an
praisers, administrators, assignees
and accountants. They have ex-
perienced help that are competent
to act in all the above capacities on
short notice, The best of references
can be given as required, and bonds
toany amount necessary They have
given the best of satisfaction as ap-
praisers and assignees.
The Capitol Adventure Co. have,
for the short time they have been
in business, shown to the public thai
they are doing legitimate business,
worthy of their patronage. Among
their patrons you will find the best
farmers, who exchange their pro-
ducts to them for their wares; the
mechanics and laborers, who know
the value of a dollar, and where to
invest 1t; also the refined and tai
ented people go there for their
elegant wares. The immigrants soon
find themselves to home at the
opera house corner, for the reason
that the Capitol Adventure Co. sell
from ten to twenty-five per cent.

NC reasons:

state, for the following reasons:
First They buy from first hands
in large quantities. They save the
profits Of the middle men. They
save in freight. They also have the
advantage of buying bankrupt
stocks, and also very often reliable
merchants who are pushed for funds
sell them the best of goods at twenty
to thirty per cent. discount for cash.
Second, They have leased the
elegant Opera House building for u
long time for almost nominal rent.
They have the most commodious
and best lighted store rooms i'm the
city. They carry a full and conf
plete stock Of dry goods, clothing,
hats, boots and shoes, ladies' and
gents, furnishing goods, jewelry and
silverware, notions, stationery and
cutlery, groceries, in fact a general
variety such as are usually kept i'm a
first class store. The Capitol Ad-
venture Co, is about the only firm
in Salem that tries to command the
farmers trade by buying all their
merchantable products, and they re-
tail the farmers products the same
prices they pay, thus saving to
tie mechanics and laborers from
ten to twenty per cent. for the real
necessaries of life. Therefore the
C.pitOl Adventure Co. asks for the
continuance Of the puhlic's patron
age. You will find them mt the
Opera House corner, Court and
Liberty streets, Salem, Oregon.

THE TEAR-KERCHIEF.

II is only trifiing thing to show
Just l0erchief white as the driven snow,
Yet many a tender and loving thought
Is into its dainty stitchery wrought:
For the mother we've it from fax that grew
And smiled in the field with its blossom blue;
She spun the thread whereof it was made,
And watched it carefully where twas lad,
That days war kisses and nights soft dew
Might bleach the web 10 its whitest hue;
And then it was lovingly laid away
For the daughters hand on her bridal day.
Oh. few are the tears by the maiden shed
On the day that her bridal vows are said.
They may fail as she meets her fathers kiss,
Yet her heart IS glad with her nuptial bliss.
She may fondly cling to her mothers side,
Yet her lover claims her, his happy bride.
She fears not 10 give up her fair young life
To the sacred duties and name Of wife;
And there is no grief in the teurs that flow
Der the soft round cheek with its blushing
glow,
And she smiles as she wipes them all away
With the kerchief white on her bridal day.
Daintily folded with tenderest care,
The young wife taketh the kerchief fair,
With scented rOse-leaves and lavender spray,
Scarce dried from her tears il is laid away.
There in its fragrant and perfumed nest,
For many long years may the kerchief rest.
They will bring N their train both Joy and woe
As Time goes on in his ceaseless flow
But Love still maketh each burden light
And the home where he dwells is ever bright,
And the wife still smiles as she smil'd the DAY
She laid her kerchief with smiles away.
But Time will pass and the years go on,
And each day findeth some duty done,
And the kerchief lies in its scented fold,
But snow has sprinkled the hair of gold;
For the fair young bride is a matron now,
And wrinkles furrow the once smooth brow,
And her step is no longer free and light,
And the hair is a crown OF silv'ry white,
But her children arise and call her blest
And her husbands heart in her doth rest;
And the kerchief lies as twas laid away
~ the maiden's hands on the bridal day.
But there comes day when, in peaceful rest,
Those hands lie crossed on quiet breast,
When the tender eyes are forever shut,
And the loving lips are forever mute.
Then, ere the face that they loved is hid
From mortal sight meath the cofhn-lid,
The kerchief stained with the young brides
tears,
So carefully guarded for many years,
Is gently laid DER the features pale;
At Deaths cold bridal, bridal vail.
And the kerchief, laid for so long away,
Hides the calm, still face on the burial day.

AN IMPERIAL FEAST.
Strange vIands and Strange Customs at q
Chinese Banquet.

Strange vIands and strange Customs at q
Chinese Banquet.
The following was the menu of the
banquet given by the ministers OF the
tsung-li-yamen to the foreign repre-
sentatives in Pekin. by order of the
Empress Dowager. to celebrate the
marriage of the young Emperor and
his accession to the throne: Birds
nest soup. foreign bread; roast duck;
green peas, in vinegar; stewed apples;
chicken soup, with sharks fins;
beignets sOuffles; roast mutton; fresh
cucumbers; stewed pears; small yellow
cakes, Hua Tiyu en- gelee; ham.
stewed in honey; crosses in vinegar;
crabapple jelly; bamboo shoots; sweet
potatoes; roast sucking pig; green
beans, in vinegar; cusiard. with
almonds. Wines-Wine from ShaOh-
ing-Fu, Chaung-yaun-h'ung, YIN
chen-lOu (white wine distilled with
artemisia). Mei-kuei-lOu (rOse dew,
white with a strong flavor of roses).
Wu-chia-p's (brown wine, distilled
five times, with orange peel; very
much like curacoa). After the ban
auet the principal dishes were by order
of the Empress taken round to the ladies
of the various embassies. who, of course,
were not present on the occasion. in
order that they also might, to some
extent celebrate the occasion and
participate in the imperial
bounty. A curious difficulty has
arisen in connection with the trihing
ceremonial presents made on the occa-
sion to the Ministers. These consisted
of scepters made of hardwood inlaid
with jade, certain silks and tobacco
pouches. These are fixed by prece-
dent, and are not presented for their
value, which is small. The United
States Minister, however. finds him
self precluded by the strict rules OF
his service from accepting these
things. A diplomatic officer of the
United States can not accept for him
self or other persons any presents,
emolument, pecuniary favor, office or
title of any kind from any f0reign.gov-
eminent; and accordingly the United
States Minister in Pekin conceived
himself bound to send back the wooden
scepter, the piece Of silk and the to-
bacco pouch to the tsung- li-yameh for
retransmissiOn to the Empress Dow
ager. All the other members OF the
corps diplOmatique, however, found
themselves conscientiOusly able to re-
tain theirs. 1t should be mentioned
that this giving of small presents at
banquets as marks of cordially and
good will is universal in the East. aud
is not intended to enrich the receiver,
but solely to manifest the good inten-
tions and wishes of the donOr.-St

FRENCH SLEEPING-CARS.
They Are Not Up to the Standard of Our
Pullman or Wagner Coaches.

Pullman or Wagner Coaches.
The charge for bed in the sleeping
cars from Basic to Calais, is about 10
francs, and from Basic to Paris, for
some occult reason, francs more. By
one of those extraordinary arrange
ments that can exist only in countries
where nobody trusts any body, and
every body is suspected by every body
else, even the unfortunate traveller who
has hired a bed at 9:15 is not allowed
to turn into it until 11:30, the reason
assigned being that at the French
frontier the small baggage must be
examined, and if people were allowed
to turn in before the examination
took place there is no saying what
amount of tobacco and laces and the
rest of it might not be secreted in or
under the bed by the tourist or by the
servants of the sleeping-car company.
When. however, the conventional GER
emonial of affirming that you have
nothing to declare" has been gone
through and your dressing-bag ha 8
been defaced by hieroglyph:cs in white
chalk, then the operation OF bed-mak-
ing in the wagon-lits commences. Any
one who has watched it will be disposed
to exclaim, with Macbeth: .'Sleep no
more" In a small and sometimes
filthy den narrow cushions and hard
pillows of boar antiquity are prefunc-
torily covered with shabby rug and
a sheet, and under a covering of sim
liar character the traveller who has
paid more than & for this extraor-
binary indulgence is invited to betake
himself to slumber If he happens to
have a travelling companion they can
procure the luxury, such as it is, of
privacy, though one of them. on the
DOgberry principle, must needs sleep
on the upper shelf, which is an exper-
fence several degrees more painful
than lying on the lower one. If the
number of passengers be not equal to
the number of beds they will be able,
by bribing the person in charge, to get
four-bed compartment, and thus both
will avoid the torture of being sus-
pended from the ceiling.
As a rule these vacant compartments
are to be had by tipping the dirty of
fetal in charge of them and thus, per-
haps, for % shillings apiece two people
can secure the mitigation of misery we
have described One of the main in
ducements to many people to have re-
course to 4 wagon-lit is the belief that
at any rate in the morning they will be
able to have "a good wash" and will
thus emerge from the train the simula-
ton of civilized being instead of an
unwashed. unkempt, unshaven savage.
Morning throws a fuller light on this
pleasing anticipation. As some of our
correspondents point out, the ''lavato-
ry" arrangements in the sleeping cars
between Basic and Calais and between
Basic and Paris are abominable beyond
description, and can not be turned to
the slightest account by any one OF the
most ordinary fastidiousness.-LOndOn
