Social LIE In omeIai circles.

Until within n few years wealth in.
nuenced Washington society very little;
but OF late there has been n change, and
from this time ON money will be moro
and more tile key to tbe relative social
positions. There will be probably
higher and lower classes. and there will
be changes such as marked tile Jeffer-
SON administration with its simplicity,
or the Monroe, with its stateiiness; but
the President will always give recep-
tions to Congress. the diplomatic corps.
and the army and navy; there will al
ways be state dinners at which officials.
regardless of wealth, will be almost
wholly the only guests. Refreshments
are always served at evening receptions,
except at the White House. President
Hayes. who spent the largest amount OF
money on entertainments OF any OF the
Presidents, always had an elegant colIa-
tion; but since that time there has been
no eating and drinking at the three
annual card receptions in the Executive
Mansion.
To the young woman Just freed from
school n winter in Washington society
Is like winter spent with Aladdin's
genii. The meeting Of titled foreigners,
the escort OF army and navy officers,
the acquaintance of men and women Of
national reputation, the beautiful homes,
grand balls and germans. the dainty
lunches. .he bouquets and Paris gowns,
all go to make up the spIendor; but to
the middle aged woman who for years
has watched the crowds come and go;
who must pay visits no matter how
dreary; must see the frivolity which Is
OF course present. it Is different story,
and any slight illness or misfortune in
the family is taken advantage Of to an
nounce that Mrs. So and So will be un-
able to return her visits this season be-
cause OF the death Of near relative,
etc
In most cities people are in the high
est fociety because Of wealth or family,
because OF extraordinary ability or
genius, or from accident. In Washing
ton Il is because Of their official po-
sition- They may make friends and be
beloved, but that does not entitIe them
to the official invitation. Ladies' are
invited 10 the state dinner given to the
Supreme Court, not because they are
the brightest and best women of the
Presidents acquaintance, but because
their husbands are members of the
committee on the judiciary of tile Sem
ate or the House, or to the state dinner
to the diplomatic corps. because their
husbands are on the COMMITTEES on
foreign affairs. Such a guest may be
cross eyed and brainIess, but she will
sit in her seat and receive the same
official attention Personality is lost in
position This loss Of personality in
position is true OF all grades, even the
President He is served first at tho
state dinner, and so exacting is this
rule that even wien his friend from his
old home dimes quietly by his side. it is
the host and not the guest who isserved

members were present from Albany, a
like number from Brownsville, few

was furnished by the Lebanon and
Brownsville cornet bands. The exer-
cises were not held on the Academy
grounds as at first contemplated, the
trustees of the Nj. E. church having
kindly rendered the use of their COM

oration by NJ. G. George was pro-

Had we the gifts of 1fercttsy re-

some sensational Sunday reading.
Our reporter, not wishing to identity
himself with the motley throng OF
pleasure seekers, was compelled to take
his news secondhand. The first at
traction of the program was a match
game of base bali between nine men
belonging with the circus and the Leb-
anon base bali, nine in which the
latter were victorious. Before retiring
from the field a sluggine match was
arranged between two negroes, attaches
of the circus. In order that the
gore might flow freely, the battle
ground was located on the line of the
proposed Lebanon Canal, whose gentle
slope allowed the life-eiving cur
rent to mix and mingle with the
waters Of the Santiam. Not knowing
either the name of the victor or the
vanquIshed, we are unable to give the
result OF this, Lebanonis first mill Slug

ception) retired from the field well
satisfied with the initial number of
what will doubtless prove a favorite
pastime. In the evening second slug
glng match was arranged between one
of Lebanon's muscular men and a sup
porter of the Civil Rights Bill. The
result was that the ''color linen was
entirely obliterated, the negro having
washed his face to paleness with the
blood of a white mans veins.

Man would have infinite holiness do
what his own faded morality cannot
do. He would have the sun overlook
defects which his feeble. fiickeiing
rush-iight brings into startling prom
inence. How does this notion OF an
average character apply in the prac-
tical concerns of everyday LIEF A
iarnler takes load of frrit to the
eannery on the top of his fruit boxes
he puts some extra-tine fruit, in the
middle he puts some good fruit, and
in the bottom OF his boxes he puts
some seedlings, moth-eaten and very
inferior OF their kind. Does the pur-
chaser average the fruit, or does he
not insist that he stipulated for good
fruit throughout A farmer learns
that his fence has been blown down
and he sends his hired man to repair
it. A lawful fence is seven rails high,
but the man averages his fence by
building it elaven rails high in some
piaces, while in others he lays mp but
three rails. The farmers crop suffers
i'll consequence, but he canuot blame
she hired man, he built an average
fence, fence that would average
seven rails to the pannel throughout
Common sense says the fence is no
stronger than the weakest point, the
pannels with only three rails. Ny
friend, the argument of an average
life, of an average character, is obvi-
ously faliacious, and you know it.

A society of ladies in the East
have appealed to the Oregon Press
Association, through L. Samuels,
to leave out of the newspapers the
narrowing details of crime. 1t is a
noticeable fact that no pains are
spared by the press generally in
placing before the reading public
the rottenness aud moral putres-
-cence of the social fabric, while the
purest and holiest instincts of the
race are either held in abeyance or
dismissed with a line. 1t just as
impossible to develope a pure
minded race of people while this
state of things is allowed to con-
ssinne as it would be to harvest a
crop of pine apples from an iceberg
in the latitude of Greenland. Pros
aituted virtue and loss of sister
hood are eagerly seized upon by
fhe carrion dealers of the press not
with a view to exciting disgust and
adherence of the crime but as an
appetizer for the sensual, the prof
1igate and the lecherous character.

wish to correct the statements of Mr.. G.
P R. in your last issue in regard to railroad
affairs. where he stated that the road would
be standard wind gauge Now, Mr. G. p.
R., that road is already that, and the next
move will be to make it paper gauge;
when this is done the K. K. Co. are sup
posed to do the rest.
In regard to retailing Bob, 1 haven't
thought of that yet, and as l expect the
operation would be an expensive one, and
as you seem to have more time than have,
would suggest that You do it free of charge,
or at least take your pay from Bob's hind

You have done wrong more than

but one Being who can tell how many
and He will tell, when "the books

Some appear to think that If their
wrong-doings, no matter how many
. they be, do not exceed their right
doings; if their good deeds only out
number by one their evil deeds, they
have nothing to fear, and this is all
that is required of them. For this
opinion there is as little support de-
rived from reason as from Scripture.
There is none from either. It is alb
solate folly to think and talk thus.
A man should be ashamed to enter
tain such an opinion. All analogy is

FROM THE wAspEKER. r.. MARI,

left the sunny South on the morning of
March 18th, for Indiana, in company with
my cousin, Eoline Hiatt. While in North
Carolina had very pleasant time, wan
dering through green lanes, picking flowers
and getting an appetite for the bread, butter
and tea which awaited US at the quaintest
and neatest of waysiie inns. One can feast
their eyes with beauty on the great cathe-
drals, while the soul is stirred by the music
of organ and choir. There may be seen
houses hundreds of years old and fun OF
historic associations, and one may wander
the moor where the wild, red deer still find
home.
In Indiana the March winds blow cold
and searching. and seem to reach the inner
most part of one; still, when we arrived
within the great gas belt, we thought we
were back in the sunny South, for they can
give any temperature you want.
On the way here we made only one stop
that was TO take a stroll over the city of
Washington, visiting the capitol, botanical
garden, Smithsonian Institute, Washing
toms monument, and the White House.
We gave a guide one dollar TO show MS
through the capitol and it was the most in

of interest as Lebanon has been looking
for gas. think Lebanon people ought TO
be encouraged, as there does not seem to be
any sig: TO dig by. The State geologist has
failed different times in this State. Where
he read there was gas he found salt water;
where he read there was not gas he found
gas, For heating purposes, natural gas ex-
eeeds coal gas 331z per cent. Used IN the
crude way, twenty feet of gas are equal to
one pound OF coal; in the ordinary way,
1l-29 feet equal one pound of coal; in the
most economical way, 90 feet equal one
pound Of coal. For illuminating purposes,
natural gas possesses only about one-half
the value of coal gas. though it is largely
used by the employment of special burners
for that purpose. II. Hiatt.

One of the comiMendable features
of the last Legislature was the pas
cage of law protecting certain
insectiverous birds. In all the
feathered tribe it would be hard
for the farmer and gardener to find

Perhaps as much could be said in
favor of other birds which come
within the purlieus of protective
legislation. The gardener especi-
ally, who is compelled to wage a

will appreciate any legislation
