MISCELLANY.
ON HIS WAY TO SALEM.


PORTLAND, May, 5.-The early
part of the journey Of the president
and party into Oregon today was
made in a steady fall of rain varying
from a drizzle to a light storm.
This discouraging state Of affairs
did not seem to dampen the en-
thusiasm of the inhabitants and
they paid the chief magistrate every
possible honor at each place visited.
A large crowd including Grand
Army men and militia mere assem-
bled at Eugene to greet the presi-
ident but all their preparations went
for naught as he was fast asleep in
his car when the train drew up at
the station. Nor was he awakened
by the firing of cannons and famil-
lar strains of "Hail to the Chief'
by brass band.
1t was six O'Clock in the morning
but people thought the President
should have acknowledged the COM
pliment paid him and they gave free
vent to their indignation at his fail
ure to arise.
1t is explained by the presidents
friends that the people of Eugene
had been informed last night that
the presidents engagements for the
day made it absolutely necessary
that he should have a full nights
rest aud that it would be asking too
much TO expect him to begin the
labor of the day at o'clock in the
morning. This however was the
only disappointment Of the day.
At Albany, which was reached at
8 O'Clock, the President and all the
members of his party were on the
rear platform Of the observation car
aud gave hearty response to the en-
thuslastic greeting Of the people.
The caGeIs OF the Corvallis Agri-
cultural college we're drawn Up Ia |
line at the station and formed part
OF the reception committee. There
was a fine display Of flags and a
profusion Of floral tributes, The /
mayor af the city introduced the
President 10 the throng and be ae-
kBowledged their cheers with q
brief address. 1
The line Of march extended 10 the
High school where about four thou
saDd schaol children were drawn up
10 llne which extended four blocks.

CARS HAVE ARRIVED. The ves-
tibule cars for the Capital City Rail
way company's electric line arrived
in Salem today. They are neat and
well flushed cars. On either side
they bear the name of the company
and above the windows is written
"Fair Ground and Commercial
Street." The cars came dismounted.
They will be put on wheel, the gear
ing put in aud the electric appli-
ances attached here. This will be

on the old road until the new Is

Personal NOTES.
Among the large crowd from In.
dependence was the genial w. w.
Williams, marshal of that city.
Representative n. L. Butler, Of
the legislative committee, dropped
off here aud went home TO Polk
county. He concluded the streets
of Portland would be too muddy for
pleasure.
Barney Goldsmith, the late demo-
cratic nominee for u. s. senator,
was introduced to Presidents Harri.
son here, though his small stature
made it difficult for him to reach the
platform of the car to shake hands
Gen. Geo. H. Williams, U. S. at.
orney general u n der Preside
Grant, was among the committee
from Portland, and it is pleasant e.
see the majestic vlgor he still main
tains.
The depth of the mud today was
an indication TO the president of the
depth of patriotism that could bring
so many out to pay tribute to the
head of the nation.
The state officials deserve sincere
thanks for the facilities placed at the
disposal of the immense throng.
Salem appreciates it.
Given dry day aud there is not
a city of the size on the presidents
entire tour, whose display could ex
eel that of Salem.
Banker J. H. Albert deserves
credit for the tasty floral decoration
which his carriage displayed.
1t was very appropriate thing to
see Major Geo. Williams and that
other stalwart veteran, State Supt.
McEiroy, accompany in Major
Williams carriage their old comrade,
Jerry Rusk, secretary of agricul-
ture.
Hon. and Mrs. d. H. Looney, of
Jefferson, were at the reception.

Weird shadows danced along the rafters
and played hide and seek among queer

rough boards of the garnet at Lone Hollow,
with an old, battered, hair-covered trunk
open before him. That which brought from
his lips the words opening this chapter he
held up to the light in his banda folded
legal document, yellow with age, tied with
red tape.
The young man who held up the folded
paper read on one side these words:

ANECDOTES OF TALLEYRAND.
How He Disposed of an Ofice-Seeker and
Creditor.

| How He Disposed of an Ofice-Seeker and
Creditor.
''The art of putting the right men in
the right places" Talleyrand once said
sis first in the science of government
but that of finding places for the dis
contented is the most difficult"
1t would seem from this that the dis.
tinguished French statesman was as
much prey to office-seekers as are the
public men of our own time. His man.
ner of disposing of them is amusingly
illustrated in the following anecdote:
One day one of these troublesome
persons presented himself to NJ. de Tai
leyrand and reminded him that he had
been promised a place.
Every WELL" said Talleyrand, "but
tell something that suits and which can
be given. You don't know of any
thing? Well, find something. You
must admit that haven't the time to
search for you.''
The applicant was thus disposed of
for the time being, but a day or two
later he again presented himself, his
face radiant with hope, and said:
''Sir, such and such place is vacant ~
vacant" replied Talleyrand. "Well,
what do you wish me to do? You ought
to know that when place is vacant it
has already been promised"
Like many another famous man, both
before his time and since, Talleyrand
exhibited-at least in early life-a great
reluctance to settling with his creditors.
When he was appointed Bishop of Au-
tun by Louis XVI, he considered fine
new coach necessary to the proper
maintenance of the dignity of that
Office. Accordingly, a coach was or
dered and delivered, but not paid for.
Some time after, as the newly-appoint-
ed Bishop was about to enter his coach
he noticed a strange man standing near
who bowed continually until the coach
was driven away. This occurred for
several days, until at length Talley-
rand, addressing the stranger, said:
"Well, my good man, who are you?"
81 am your coachmalser, my lord"
replied the stranger.
''Ahr' said Talleyrand, ''you are nv
coachmaker; and what do you want, my
coachmaker?"
81 want to be paid, my lord"
"Ah! you are my coachmaker, and
you want to be paid. You shall be
paid, my coachmalser."
"But when, my lord?"
HUMP said Talleyrand, setting him
self comfortable among the cushions Of
his new coach and eying his coach
maker severely, "You are very inquisi-
tive. Transcript.

. Dr. Cotton"
"The same"
But let me tell you," grated the Captain,
with angry vehemence, II have permitted
your interference here to the cost of a life
| Look yonder at your work. You shall suffer
| for this this murder"
He pointed to the bed.
Quickly DR.. Cotton stepped to the side Of
Grace and bent over the wasted form. A
moment thus, then he faced the inmates of
the room once more. ''She has tainted. 1t
is better SO for the present. Should she die
you will have another murder to answer
for. know that you have been systematic
ally poisoning this girl"
THAT is falser'
Don't interrupt me,' said the doctor,
with strange calmness, no trace of emotion
on his grave face. Il made a discovery not
long since that startled and shocked nee be-
yond measure. You had the reputation of
being generous gentleman, with few bad
habits, and all your acquaintances looked
upon you as an honorable man"
Really" sneered the Captain, '.you do
me proud, DR. Colton.''
''You may feel less so before am through
with little history propose to relate"
Il pray you, don't put yourself out on my
account, doctor"
No, but on several accounts will pro-
coed. Some years ago you fell in with Mr.
Penroy, Grace's father, and became very
intimate with him. He trusted you fully,
and to his cost. The time came when that
man was brought home dead, with his skull
crushed, said to have been caused by the
kick of horse. 1 believe, however, that it
was done by a club, and that it was part
of plot formulated in California to gam
possession of q million dollars'
''Indeedr' sneered the Captain.
II am getting ahead of my story, how
ever" proceeded the doctor, as Captain
Starbright coolly assumed chair The
doctor and Lura renamed standing, how
ever.
