The sight of six horses vainly endeav-
oring to take street car up one of the
steep hills of San Francisco inspired in
Inventor Halliday's mind the idea of the
cable car system. The hill was slippery
as well as steep. One horse fell and car
ried down his mate. The other horses
tumbled, until the six were in u strug-
Cling heap. The weight OF the car
dragged them down to the foot of the
hill, bruising and manning them. Mr..
Halliday, looking on, was filled with
compassion for the poor brutes, and he
says he went to work at once on plans
for substitute for horse power His
thinking brought him to the cable sys-
tem.--St. Louis Globe-D Democrat.

Don't you feel sorry for the woman
who haunts the bargain room counterss
About her face is weary, anxious look.
and her clothes have rather tawdry air.
1t is proper they should, for the very
word "tawdry" is derived from st.
Audrey, on whose day fairs were held,
when the bargain seeking danes were
induced to buy worthless things because
they were cheap. As If anything you
didn't want was ever cheap! Although
the old st. Audrey's fair is closed, prac-
tically it still exists, for the same result
follows all purchases such as were made
there, i. e., dissatisfaction. New York

The broadway of tile business Man.
The business man knows Broadway
as q street blocked with moving drays
and wagons, with pavements which move
with unbroken lines of men, and that
are shut in on either side by the tallest
of tall buildings. 1t is a place where no
one strolls, and where a man can as cas-
lily swing his cane as a woman could
wear a train. Pedestrians do not walk
steadily forward here or in a straight
line, but dodge in and out like runners
on football field. They all seem to be
trying to reach the bank to have check
cashed before o'clock. The man who
stops to speak to friend or to gaze into
a shop window is jostled and pushed
and shouldered to one side. Every one
seems to be trying to catch up to the
man just in front Of him, and every one
has something to do, and something on
his mind to think Of, too, if his face tells
anything.
So intent are they on their errands
that they would not recognize their own
wives if they passed them by. This is a
spot where the thermometer marks fever
heat. 1t is the great fighting ground of
the city, where the battle of business
goes on from o'clock in the morning
until in the afternoon, at which time
the work flags little and grows less
and less hurried until 8, when the armies
declare an armistice for the day, and
march off up town to plan freah cam
paign for the morrow
The armies begin to arrive before s,
and gather from every point of the COM
pass. The ferryboats land them by thou
sands and hurry back across the river
for thousands more; the elevated roads
marshal them from far up town, gather
ing them by companies at each station,
where they are unloaded and scattered
over the business districts in regiments.
They come over the Brooklyn bridge by
tens of thousands in one long. endless
procession, and cross the City Hall park
at quick step. 1t is one of the most i'm
pressive sights the city has to Offer
Scribner's.

The secret of One Man. Success.


A young man who lives ON the heights.
who is famed for the good taste which he
invariably displays in his dress, was asked
the other day if there was any secret
in the absolute correctness with which
he always enveloped himself He hest
tated a moment, but finally replied, Ger
tainly there is, my dear fellow, but If
tell you, you know, you mustn't give it
away. It is just this way. When I de-
termine to buy me a new hat don't go
to my hatter's and allow myself to be bull
lied into ordering something I do not
want. Oh, dear, no. 1 take n stroll mp
the avenue and examine all the hats that
are worth considering. l always look at
the men who are just my size, and when
I see man who has a hat on that just
suits me I march down to the hatter's
with the image of that particular hat in
delibly impressed on my mind, and IN
sist upon getting one just like it.
II follow out the same plan with all OF
my clothes. So that when enter a tail
or's shop know exactly what want and
never think of ordering until 1 have
found the exact thing, but when once
found order at once: So that while ]
have the reputation among my trades
men of being very particular-which is
good thing by the way-they like me
because l know inst what I want. -

,EXUBERANT VERBOSITY.

The Dalles charter bill did not ''die an
ignominious death in one of the COM
mittee rooms of the recent legislature )"
1t was killed in the senate chamber in
the face of open day and at the bidding
OF small and rapidly waning faction in
this city because it attempted to prevent
repetition of the edifying scenes en-
acted in the council chamber last summer,
when capricious and stubborn execu-
tive, elected to carry out the wishes of
the people, set his judgment against the
whole council and large majority of the
tax payers and prevented the payment
of the purchase money for The Dalles
water works after the bargain had been
closed, till the city had to pay some
$1100 of interest on the money, while
100000 of the peoples money, on which
they were paying six per cent. interest,
was lying idle in his bank. And now
the fawning apologist of this infamy
prates about ''free institutions resting
upon the consent of the governed" II
is but the hoot of the screech owl, the
cry of the demagogue, the song of the
pedant bewildered by the ''exuberance
of his own verbosity.'

EDITOR CHRoNICLE.-A man and boy
answering the description of the missing
ones from the Umatilla House were here
Tuesday going towards Prineville, and

rhe Dollar marx.


Writer'S are not agreed as to the der
ivation of the sign to represent the
word dollar" or dollars" Some con-
tend that it comes from the letters q
and S, which. after the adoption Of the
federal constitution, were prefxed to
the currency of the new United States,
and which afterward, in the hurry of
writing, were run into each other; the
Q, being made first and the 8 over It.
Others say that the contraction is from
the Spanish pesos; dollars; others, still,
claim it TO be derived from the Spanish
word fuertes, meaning hard, ,;so called
to designate silver and gold from paper
or soft money The more plausible ex-
planation Of the puzzle is this: That it is
: Modification Of the figure 8, and that
the character, as we make it, denotes
that we are speaking or writing Of "a

as the dollar was formerly called, piece

MoDEsTY INcARNATE.

The Times Mountainesr insinuates
that the reason The Dalles charter bill
was killed was because cit gave almost
unlimited power to quorum of the
council, and would have become a law
from and after its passage" OF course
a mayor knows more than the whole
council and it is the very quintessence
of modesty for one to object to bill be-
cause it curtails his power for mischief,
and then law that would go into effect
Immediately would never do at all. The

A Queer Find.
Salem Statesman.

Mr.. Van Man, a farmer near Zena, in
Polk county, was engaged in cutting
cordwood on his place. He chopped
down an oak tree of about three feet in
diameter at the butt, and after saving
it into proper lengths, proceeded to split
it in the usual manner. In the section
about five feet from the ground he stuck
his ak into what he supposed was a
bunch of knots, but as the chips i'm
mediately crumbled he made closer ex-
animation and discovered a great
curlosity-one that will put the Eugene
petrified dwarf away down in the lower
class of museum specimens. The
curiosity consists of the right side of a
pair of deer horns imbedded into the
very heart of the oak tree. There are
evidences that it had five prongs, and
from the growth ''rings" of the tree, has
been in that position for at least a
century and half. The tree is thought
to be least 200 years old. How the
horns got there is query, but different
coniectures are numerous. One is that
the quadruped who first possessed them
might have been scratching his head
against said tree and just at tina. particu-
lar time shed them where they remained
and were drawn into the embraces of the
oaken shrub. Another is that Mr.. Deer
may have become enraged over the idea
that the legislature would not vote an
appropriation for Oregon's display al
the worlds fair at Chicago, and at
tempted to scrape tho moss off his skull
ornaments, thereby becoming entangled
and finally grew fast.

WORSE AND WORSE.

Affairs in Ireland are getting decidedly
mixed and the politicians there seem on
the eve of repeating, on large scale. the
legend of the "kilkenny cats" The
waring factions are opposing each other
with fist and pen and the Catholic clergy
are leading an opposition against Parnell
that seems to he gathering strength
every day. The choicest billingsgate is,
of course, resorted to and the Pa-nellites
call the McCarthyites ''stinking carton
floating on a stream of corruption" and
apologize for Dalton's late attack on
Healy, by which the latter nearly lost an
eye and actually lost five teeth, as pro-
voked by s'libelous work conducted under
eminent Christian patronage" Parnell
is reported as gloomy" and 'evisibly
souring" under the gibes and jeers of his
political enemies. To make matters
worse it is reported that Mrs. O'Shea
won't marry Parnell when the term of
legal restriction has expired and Captain
O'Shea announces his determination of
compelling Parnell and Mrs. O'Shea on
pain of being sued for SANDER, to make
public apology for having presisted in
their imputations that he tacitly en-
couraged the adultery of Mrs. O'Shea,
for his own personal and political ad-
vantage. Another rumor has it that the
pope, fearing decline of Catholic as
cendancy, intends to make an effort to
form a Catholic party and that he will
take advantage of the present situation
to carry out his cherished desire of re-
entering into diplomatic relations with
England. The rumor may be without
any foundation in fact, but if the dis
patch which conveys it has any basis of
truth it would seem that the suppression
of Parnell is the price which the pope
offers for British ambassador at the
court of Vatican. Whether the COM
bined influence of the clergy will be able
to crush the hitherto indomitable Irish
leader or not, one thing is certain, the
present situation of affairs will unques-
tionably strengthen the hands of the
enemies of Irish home rule and. if per-
sisted in, will inevitably lead to its in
definite postponement. 1t will undoubt-
edly increase the number of those who
pretend to believe that Ireland is not fit
to govern herself, and the present inter-
nal strife and discension will be pointed
to as triumphant proof of the convic-
ton. Unhappy Ireland But a few
months ago the hearts of millions of her
sons and daughters were thrilled with
JOY at the prospect of her near emancipa-
ton. Today, by no foreign foe but by
her own suicidal hand she lies torn and
bleeding at the feet OF her enemies.

The p1.el..xom I. a reality.

1no mae tk<<On ts EeAiiEys
So nlany marvellous tales have been
told of the Norwegian maelstrom that
several writer's, even OF Geographical
works, have pronounced it entirely
mythical. But the whirlpool Is reality,
and from surveys has become wen
known. It is son the Norway coast to
the south of the Eofoiien isles. and runs
between q small island called aIasgenes
and rocky islet- The depth of the wa
ter in the straits Is about faO' feet, while
just outside 1000 foot line will scarce-
ly touch bottom. and the strong currents
rushing IN and out of the 6ords create
not only the maelstrom, or mill stream,
but numbers of other wlirlpools that
render nayigation exceedingly danger
GUS. -
The strait of the maelstrom is perfect
ly calm at ebb or at food tide, but with
the rising or the falling of the tide, OF
when high wind is blowing or a storm
raging, the waters driven in from the
ocean find their way out again through
the strait with such mighty violence that
no ship can pass through the eddies.
There is little downward suction, as is
commonly supposed, the danger being
that the vessel will become unmanage-
able and be driven on the rocks. It is
said that whales have been found in the
vicinity with their heads completely
crushed in, having bs caught in the
current and dashed 'i:,..-Ist the cliffs.

Belief ina Future st.so.

1t is curious and interesting to note
that the British Columbian tribe of the
Shanakons have soul belief which is an
almost exact countsrpart of that cher
ished by the old Is1aelites. They believe
that every being has its double or shadow,
thin, pale figure, seldom or never seen
by mortal eyes, which after death de
scends to an abode beneath the earth
and there leads q sad and gloomy ex-
istence. The Israelites called this place
