Lady Prude announced that there had been
some talk about Miss Grey and she hadn't kept
up an acquaintance with her. She then asked
her how Mrs. Black was, and she was told that
Mrs. Black was very WE'LL but added to this
came the statement that, "though like Mrs.

if when My Lady Prude went to church there

Oregon Gets There.

The champion liar of California may now
come in out of the wet. Oregon has been
heard from, and her colossal prevaricator
has got there with his two webbed- feet
firmly planted. Here is his latest from the
Daily AstOrian: when Andrew Young
went recently to his ranch, on Young 3
River, to dig his potatoes he noticed several
bushels already gathered. He looked
around the patch, but saw no signs of any
one having disturbed the ground, and, to
solve the mystery, he watched behind tree.
He was soon rewarded by seeing flock of
bluejays alight on the tree, and each bird
had potato in his BILL which was dropped
into an opening in limb and passed on
down to the ground. He procured sacks,
and as fast as one was filled another was
put at the place, and in this way the birds
harvested fifty bushels Of potatoes for him
from various patches around the country"
