some Fine Samples of Tobacco.

Mr.. John Gates called at this office
today and showed us some very fine
samples of tobacco, which he raised last
year in his own garden in this city. Mr..
Gates ought to know good tobacco hav-
ing been in the business of tobacco rails
ing, IN early life for many years, and he
considers his samples of fair quality
Cigar manufacturers tell him that
tobacco such as they use and which Mr..
Gates considers not go good as his, costs
them nearly a dollar pound. Mr..
Gates says he knows he could make
money in this country if he got twenty
five cents pound for it (; but of course
it would require moist land or facilities
for irrigation. tMr. Gates is going to get
his samples made up into cigars and
promises the CHRONICLE man a smoke
when he gets them.

Little Sins.

Years ago there was not single this
tie in the whole of Australia. Some
Scotchman, who very much admired
thistles, thought it a pity that such q
marvellous and glorious symbol of his
great nation. He therefore collected a
pack of thistle seed, and sent it over to
one of his friends in Australia. Well,
when it was landed, the officers might
have said, 80, let it in; is it-net little
oneP It is only to be sown IN garden -
All, yes, it was only little one; but
now whole districts of country arecover-
ed with it, and it has become the farm
er's pest and plague. 1t was little one,
but it would have been a blessing if the
ship had been wrecked that brought that
seed. Take heed of the thistle seed !;
little sins are like it.

some East End Athletes.

The East End of the town was yester-
day the scene of some astonishing fetes
of strength. A sixteen-year-old Irish
lad who looks as though he had the con
sumption, took a 12S pound sack of
wheat in his teeth and without touching
it with his hands, quietly laid it on his
own shoulder. This morning the same
youth tied a string around an anvil and
block. in Thompson & Fargher's shop,
weighing 100 pounds and lifted it with
his teeth from the floor
Professor McCarty, another East
Ender, and son of the Emerald Isle,
can take 261s pound dumb bell and
throwing it fifteen feet in the air
catch it on his arm as it comes down.
Dan Baker says he saw him do it and
Dan carries little hatchet.

African slavery and American Rum.


EDITOR CHRONICLE. Among the dis
patches of the 9th is the following: "The
rejection of the slavery resolution has
caused a tremendous sensation in Brris-
sells. King leopold is greatly incensed.
This will usually be passed unnoticed by
the reader and never be apprehended as
having any connection with an American
and yet this matter exhibits us before all
civilized christian nations, in the most
selfish and humiliating position possible
to conceive of. It exhibits us as having
an utter lack of high moral purpose and
philanthrophy. The findings of the
Brussels convention, in which America,
as well as other civilized nations, took
active part for the suppression of the
slave trade and selling of liquors in
Africa, has been rejected by our con-
gress on the grounds of ~entangling alli-
ancesand interference with commerce.
Examine this for moment All
other nations unite in active or moral
support in these objects. Our alliance
must, therefore, be with some semi-civ-
ilized, half naked tribes, on the coast of
Africa as against every christian nation,
and for what purpose-so we can sell
liquor.
1t has been broadly affirmed that every
missionary sent there goes in a ship
loaded to the matches with New England
rum. This great article of commerce,
the support of which isolates us from the
country of nations in promoting the well
fare and opening to commerce the new
world of Africa. While other nations
are spending time, money!, or at least
active sympathy in the elevation and
regeneration of these people, we conclude
for the sake of a few merchants and rum
distillels, to put the most serious obsta-
cles in the path and that in their mouths
which steals away their brains, and also
is the greatest danger to explorers, mis-
sionaries and merchants. The deplora-
BILE suffering, misery and death it causes
is familiar to any reader of recent litera-
ture on African travel and explorations.
Ours is the only civilized nation which
does not lend active and moral support,
and worse still, refuses either The
blush of shame comes over US as we re-
fleet how much the American sentiment
Is misrepresented by the action of our
so-called representatives and viii yet add
another count in the daily growing senti-
ment that the day of reckoning is. fast
approaching, in which these men who
SC. dare interpret the great moral respon-
sibilities of the American people viii get
kicked out and that, let us hope, for ever.
But write for information, on this
matter. Please study up the matter at
your earliest convenience and let the
public judge of the matter. LEANTLE.

Shabby treatment OF our sherin.


Sheriff Gates is as mad as a wet hen.
Early this morning he received the
following telegram aa ~ -
sPendleton. d. L. Gates, sheriff, The
Dalles. Arrest colored porter on west
bound sleeping car, Samoa l want
him for shooting man here. Wire an
swer quick. w. J. FURNISH,
Sheriff.
When the west bound passenger ar
rived at The Dalles, between ten and
eleven O'Clock this forenoon, Sheriff
Gates had a hurried whisper with con-
ductor Coleman, who informed him that
his man was aboard. Curg Immediately
entered the Samoa, - and arrested the
colored porter. sure enough, but con-
ductor Coleman insisted that the sheriff
had the wrong man, but positively re-
fused to point out the criminal. Curg
says there were sforty niggers'' aboard
the train and unless he arrested the
whole outfit it was impossible for him to
find the guilty one, he was very reluc-
family obliged to give up the job and let
the man escape. Sheriff Gates feels very
indignant at the action of conductor
Coleman, in thus frustrating the ends of
justice and hopes, one day, to get his
fingers Officially of course) in his
auburn locks when there will be an Off
cial hair pulling matinee, sure, and we
don't blame him bit. OF course the
man may yet be arrested later, but that
does not excuse the conductor.
