Diminutiye Bridegroom.

Joseph M. Eberly, of Fairfax, Va,
came into the clerks office at the Dis
trict co urthouse on Thursday, says the
Washington Post, and asked for a
marriage license There is of course,
nothing unusual in this, for dozens Of
young men are afflicted with the same
desire every week. But as Assistant
Clerk Williams glanced over the desk to
s'size-up" the applicant he was at first
surprised to see no one there. Closer
inspectation revealed pair of broad
shoulders and a large, we'll formed head,
which, however, scarcely reached to the
edge of the desk, for the would-be bride
groom is only few inches oyer three
feet in height
However, as there is no clause in the
very liberal District license law proving
any fixed stature for matrimonial cam
didates, and as the dwarf reported his
age as 35 years and that the lady was
likewise qualified and "willin," Clerk
Williams issued the license accordingly.
The pigmy bridegroom paid over his
dollar and departed with broad smile
on his face.
The lady who is to link herself to this
Lilliputian lever is Miss Emily j. Led>
man, also of Fairfax Station. She is of
the full growth and stature attained by
the ordinary woman, and the pair will
be a1lving illustration of "the long and
short of it,"

These are some of the many cakes
made of corn meal in Virginia 1t will
be observed that in none of them is su-

dings served with cream sauces, but no

what has been called calendar stone,
which any one may see at glance is a
national monument OF seafaring people
in the form of q mariners compass, and
to which they probably attributed the
fact that they had discovered this new
world.
From the investigation of architecture
raj remains Mr.. Johnston passes to the
discussion of the historical data bearing
upon the subvoyages, the main trend of
their navigation being in the Indian
Ocean. Take map of the world, fol-
low the line from the head of the Red
Sea down the straights of Babelmandeb,
and from that to the coast of India and
ON to Ceylon we will have before us the
known track of Ph9nician commerce.
But if from Ceylon we will continue
the line from Java and Sumatra and
thence to Malgrave Island in Torres
Strait, proceeding to the Caroline Is
lands, Tonga, Samoa, Kappa in the
Austral group and thence to Easter Is
land, connecting there with the coast of
America at Mexico and Peru, we will
have located 9 series of islands and
points on the mainland which contain
remains of substructions of character
Identical with those found under the
remnants of Solomon's temple and
marked with those peeuliarliarities de-
scribed by M. Renan, which he demon
strates are not only marked feature,
but were, indeed, enthusiastically pc
euliar to Ph@nician architecture.
If now we follow the northern line,
enter Mexico at Yucatan, we are con-
fronted by buildings that not only con-
tain evidence of the peculiar Phenician
method in the size and nature of the
substructions, but whose composite dec
orations leaving no doubt as to their or
igin."
In conclusion Mr.. Johnston fixes from
Biblical records the date of the discovery
of America by the Phmnicians is about
1000 B. c., and in closing he analyses
the religious beliefs of the Aztecs and
the Ph9nicians, and claims them to be
practically identical. Starting as mons
OtuelSlS, IlO iuGEiCldUS gradually
clothed each attribute of the Deity with
a distinct personality which quickly de-
veloped into polytheism and overran the
earth, forming the basis for the Greek
and the Roman religions.
At a later time human sacrifice be-
came part of the PhGnician creed at
home and in the colonies The sun
was represented by Baal and the moon
by Ashtoreth. Mr.. Johnston finds an
exact reproduction of that system in
Samoa and Tahiti, and discovers many
records of human sacrifice in Mexico.
From SO many startling and indeed
wonderful facts he thinks he has estab-
lished the truth of his theory that
America was discovered by the Ph@ni-
clans. Mr.. Johnston has copyrighted
his paper on the subject, under the title
did the PhGnicians Discover Ameri-
ca ?' 1t will appear in the November
and December of the California Illus
taGteG Magazine and in the bulletin of
the Geographical Society of California.

The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1892-04-15

The Dalles, Portland and Astoria Nav
~igation company offered passes to all the
delegates to the late republican state
convention. The courtesy was so far
appreciated that all availed themselves
of it, save two, who may have found it
more convenient to travel by rail. On
the return trip the delegates showed
their appreciation by passing a vote Of
thanks to the company and having it
published in the CHRONICLE. The COM
pany have also issued passes to the del
egates to the democratic state conven-
tion and we, are assured they also highly
appreciate the courtesy. The boat COM
: pany could only have one object in issu-
ing these passes, namely to offer to the
delegates who were charged with the re.
-sponsibility of naming our future law
makers in the state legislature an ocular
demonstration of the benefit the people
have received by the Cascade portage sc
that they might become stimulated tc
do all in their power to secure another
at the dalles. 1t remained for the Time,
Mountaineer to hold up this well meant
courtesy to scorn and, as if booming its
friend and patron the Union Pacific, an
nounce in the same article that "ths
railroad companyL gave reduction t.
those attending this convention wher
accompanied by certificate of elec
tion." The Mountaineer has never al
lowed an opportunity to pass of showing
its contempt for the new line of boati
and its hatred of the ''faction" who pu
up their money to build them.
The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1892-04-15

The Times -Mountaineer of April 18th
said: Speaking of passes to delegates
to state conventions, it may be well to
state that the faction was the only one
that offered them.''
Now we know to a certainty what our
evening contemporary means by the
faction" Now we know who they are
that have ''cursed the town with their
presence for the past twenty years.
Now we know who the "Silurians'' and
"mossbacks" are. They are the owners
of the new line of boats who simply did,
what everyone must have regarded as a
wise and handsome act in Offering passes
to the men who were delegated to nomi-
nate the men who might be called upon
in the next legislature to legislate for
another portage railroad. The faction
gave the delegates passes. So we are
told. Now the passes were given by the
boat company. Therefore, it follows.
that the boat company is the "faction." {"
The CHRONICLE thought so all along but
never saw the Mountaineer put it SO
plainly before. So it is this faction that
has been "downed, horse and dragons, :"
and the enemies of this faction are on
top. Be it SO. Then the CHRONICLE is
down on the men who downed the
faction, down ON them, first, last, and
eternally; unless, per chance God may
convert them, which he never will
down on them, not from the most
infinitesimal feeling of personal dislike
TO the men themselves, but solely and
only because they are enemies of the
people, the enemies of an open river,
and the Tin,es-Mountainee is their
-apologist and prophet.

Assotin Sentinel. The following move

Assotin Sentinel. The following novel
plan of ridding farms of squirrels is be-
ing tried in Asotin county. Several
rows are plowed in the field nearest
where the squirrels are thickest, and at
distance of about every thirty feet
holes to depth of twenty inches are
sunk, with a post hole digger. The
squirrels take possession of the burrows
as play ground and while running af-
ter one another, will tumble into these
holes from which they cannot again
emerge. but die. Several farmers who
have tried it, say it works admirably.
