AN INTERESTING CHARAcrER--Lewls

the early fifties He is known by many
the valley, and especially all
the old settlers. His present home is on
the Alsea, in Benton county, where he
owns cozy ranch. There he hunts, fishes,
and, in company with his life companion,
whiles away the fading years OF his life in
solitary pastimes and amusements. He Is
now in Corvallis selling off his surplus fish,
which consists of three tons of salt salmon
and half ton of dried. The GAZETTE &C.
knowledges with thanks the receipt OF
fifty.pound keg of salt and some dried sal
mon, and it will always gratefully remem'
Der Lew for this kindness. This salmon IS
supplying wide market. 1t is shipped to
many points in Oregon and Washington,
such as Portland, The Dalles, Walla Walia,
Seattle and other places. AS the quality

A bard who wrote in slaves Once made a heather hymn.
 It had this stern refrain, That moved as though in pain. "The underthought of graves Makes the sea grim" A south land singer sung With happy heart and free:
 The living, not the dead.

THE WOMAN QUESTION.
BY REV. D. H. FLA.

Once Adam woke from dreamless sleep,
 Or pleasant dreams, who knows? But peaceful sure, or light, or deep,
 For angels guarded his repose; And quiet, too, for there as yet
 Existed none else human;-- A quiet brief, for while he slept
 His rib was made woman. He woke to gaze with dazed surprise
 Upon the wondrOus vision, Himself! but twas himself revised,
 And bettered by revision. And mixed and strange the surging tide
 Of feelings that came o'er him; With sense of loss, he sure had gained
 The beauteous one before him. Twas gain in loss the paradox
 His sons have settled never, He found himself with one rib less,
 Yet more a man than ever. And happier he than all his sons
 Who traffic in that mart, For, for what he purchased with rib
 They have to pay heart. And still his paradox was she,
 Alternate crown and cross, He found at first his loss gain,
 And then his gain a loss For wild the earth, and desolate,
 Where'er his steps might roam, l His beauteous Eden home. Yet she, fair sharer of his bliss, By serpent arts beguiled, Changed the sweet bowers Elysian To desolations wild. An. when, without wife to guide His erring footsteps thither, Did man e'er find paradise,
 Or fail to lose it with her? When Adam found, so Milton says, And he, you know, discloses More in detail the whole affair, And most as true as Moses :-- When Adam found what Eve had done, And knew the sad disaster, The question rose to stay alone, Or eat, and follow after. His choice, a dread dilemma's horns, Each threatening to impale him, And which so'er he chose, quite sure It nothing would avail him. If he refused, and stayed alone, It Eden were no more;
 Or if he ate and followed her, His Eden life were o'er.
 Not long delayed he, though he held The fate of all things human, When choice 'twixt wife and Eden stood He quickly chose the woman. And wasn't he right? ask and own The aIadox consuming; | Twasn't Paradise until she came; She ruined it by coming
 Just so, full many son of his l Has deemed his garden-patch Would like another Eden bloom With her beneath his thatch.
 And many a one whom she has led l From Paradise, not thither,
 Has said, who'd live without a wife?
 One can but just live with her.
 But ever since that solid sleep, | When that one rib went out, l Mans had certain weakness on
 That vacant side, no doubt
 And as we always cling the most
 To what is loved and lost,
 So man has clung to that old rib,
 Regardless of the cost.

HANDSOME ENGLISH CHILDREN.
Turning from the consideration of the child's
dresses TO the child itself. l am free to confess
that, quito apart from the why and the how. I
shouldn't hesitate an instant in awarding to
the English woman the honor of being the
mother of the handsomest children born into
this world of care and sorrow. And the
honor has been in their hands for
many century. As long ago as the
end of the sixth century, during the papacy of
Gregory the Great. some English children were
either bought or stolen and carried to Rome
Their big blue eyes. their golden blond hair.
their satiny skins and cheeks of roses attracted
the most lively attention in that land of dark eyes
and swarthy compilations. They were ex-
hibited to the pope, who asked where they
came from.
From the land of the Angles" was the
reply.
''Angles - exclaimed the pontiff; 'you mean
angels, for it seems hardly possible that these
cherubim didn't come from some celestial
regionr'

There is Unitarian clergyman who is not
without power OF keen retort and who is none
the less gifted with the grace to command his
tongue rather than allow his tongue to COM
mand him. He has in his congregation one Of
those women who make pretence of frank
ness an excuse for rudeuess and who are given
to boasting that they plain-spoken. when
the truth is that they are simply iil-brel and
insolent. This especial lady is wealthy and
there are not many in the list of her acquaint-
ances who dare rebuke her. albeit they do to-
gether console each other for the wounds they
suffer from her tongue by abusing her roundly.
1t CHANGED that one evening the lady and the
clergyman were partners at whist at the house
OF II common friend and so successful were they
that they won almost every game for the even
ing. Like people who are fond OF having their
own way the lady in high humor over this
success. and when the play was over she pushed
back her chair from the table with the char
acteristic and graceful remark to her partner:
You do play a good game OF whist, Mr..
Blank. If you only preached as well AZ You
play whist it would be q treat to 60 to church
to hear you"
The clergyman was quite equal TO the occa-
sion. He kept his temper and his face under
perfect control as he replied:
THANK you. Miss Sharp; but you know any
body can learn to play whist, while genius and
good breeding come by grace OF God"

Lobster! Looks like a lobster, does it?

end right here. 1t is plain enough that you
haven't the necessary knowledge to appreciate
but don't you-"
Never you mind, Mrs. Bowser! Let it drop

The odor was SO strong in the dining room
that the butter tasted of it, and after supper
the cook called Mrs Bowser into the kitchen to
ask:
