II New RoLE. Fond mothers are
warned to look out for the tramp, for he
has turned lady killer in some sections
and is liable TO elope with the handsom-
est girls In our city, even with the mar
ried women One OF the profession re-
Gently eloped with the wife OF one OF the
most wealthy and prominent citizens oi
Fort Jefferson, Ohio, and the loving though
Ierring couple are supposed TO be hiding
in Chicago. The gay lothario is describ-
ell as a common, ordinary tramp I; one oi
the most ignorant and worthless of his
species. What delicacy, eloqnenee, etc.,
this wanderer must have used 10 gain
supremacy over his fair enanorata's 4
heart can hardly he conjectured. Posi-
bly, he charmed her with recitals Of his
travels, adventures and hair-hreadth ea-
capes from bulldogs, mantraps, ,shotguns,
loaded with fine shot, and Of his lonely
and loyeless life. She probably pitied,
then endured, then embraced him. Wo-
man il curiously composed-sometime
overhowing with romantic sympathy.
Az oRraoS MAS.-The Cleveland
PIaindealer gives a long illustrated arti-
Gle about Dolph acting as messenger
boy. IL seems that he sent an important
letter 10 England, and finding that il
would save him lots Of money by regain
ing II he went 90 wannamaker's house,
who said il was too late but he might
see Clarkson. He saw Clarkson but
that gentleman said the letter was proha-
bly, on the ocean, and nothing could be
done. The Oregon Senator probably
thought they would telegraph aud stop
the whole mail service for his one letter,
which shows that he IL rs important
there as In Oregon. But the newspapers
are all down on him, and will make II
warm for the important gentleman.
QruK SPirgsuL.-The Corvallis Times,
which picks at everything in connection
with the Oregon Pacific, gives the follow

we give il as sample Of spite Last
week w II Pettibone and + w IIadley
arrived here with their families from
Chicago. They came to accept positions
on the Oregon Pacific railroad the former
as superintendent and the other as assis-
tant manager. They were 10 be installed
into their new Offices this morning, but
wonderful change came over the vision
Of their dreams and the head Of Mr. Petit
bone was refused the crown or at least he
never wors II lie left this noon for Chi
cago, in disgust, without his expected
title. The old tattered chapean has been
temporarily fixed on Mr. Hadley's head.
