- --- ~---.---- ~-s~T- AN INDIAN WIND SONG.

The wolf of the winter wind is swift,
 And hearts are still and cheeks are pale When we hear his howl in the ghostly drift As he rushes past on a phantom trau And all the night we huddle and fear, 4 For we know that his path is thep bath of death,
 And the flames burn low when his steps are
 near,
 And the dim hut reeks with his grave cold
 breath. The fawn of the wind of the spring is shy, Her light feet rustic the sere, white grass, The trees are reused as she races by,
 In the pattering rain we hear her pass. And the bow unstrung we cast aside
 While we winnow the golden, boarded maize, And the earth awakes with thrill of pride To deck her beauty for festal days. The hawk of the summer wind Is proud; She circles high at the throne of the sun. When the storm is fierce her scream is loud, And the scorching glance of her eye we shun. And oftentimes when the noon Is bright silence falls on the choirs of song, And the partridge shrinks in a wild alright Where a searching shadow swings along. The hound of the autumn wind Is slow; He loves to bask in the heat and sleep When the sun through the drowsy haze bends a low
 And frosts from the hills through the star But oftentimss he starts in his dreams < When the howl of the winter wolf draws
 nigh,
 Then laxily rolls in the gold warm beams While the focking birds to the south drift by.

An ola Truth Proved Once More.

A pneumatic tired safety bicycle that rested against the curb in Eighth avenue opposite the Grand Opera House on Fri- day night had a crowd about 1t for an hour. It bore a huge placard with the inscription. "For Sale, Price &i2.-
 The placard had been placed there by the owner, who had made a wager that he would display the bicycle for two hours, and that no one would venture to buy 1t
 There was lot of lively talk among the crowd that stared at the bicycle, but nobody went into the cigar store where the man who had bet that a purchaser would appear was anxiously waiting for some one with s12 to materialiEe. A stout Englishman neatly dressed came along ana studied the placard with frown-
 .I hate these practical jokes, he cried. T ride bicycle myself, and only wish had $12 in cash, and I'd get that wheel. That reminds me of the story of the man who stood on London bridge and offered to sell genuine gold sovereigns for a pen ny apiece and stood there an hour with out selling any"
 The bicycle owner won his bet finally, to the chagrin of the man who felt sure that bargain would be snapped up. The fun of 1t was that the owner would have been forced to part with 1t under the terms of the wager.-New York Sun

 For the Russians.

For the Russians.
 PARIS, Oct. 16.-Immediately after the Russian squadron reached Toulon on Fri day, President Carnot telegraphed to the czar in Copenhagen, and the czar replied. Several dispatches were exchanged also in connection with the czar's visit to the French warships off Copenhagen. Dis patches from St. Petersburg say that the Russian press makes much of the czar's visit to the warships. Several journals declare that the visit and the toasts of Admirals Avelan and Rieunier complete the proof of the consolidation of the Franco-Russian relations
 Mayor Farraro gave his luncheon in the name of the municipality. The play ground of the college had been covered with a great tent, spread between double rows of palm trees, and under this the ta- bles were laid The Russian officers showed their appreciation of the fine wines by drinking themselves into a state of flushed excitement
 The enthusiasm of the unofficial crowd exceeded all bounds when the Russian sailors landed. French sailors and civilians formed in procession, hoisted the men to their shoulders and carried them through the streets. Women embraced and kissed them. Wherever the Russian sailors ap- pearsd deafening shouts for Russia and the czar filled the air.

Mfr. Jarrett's Experience as a Forty-ntnsr.
 "The first time was in Portland.- said Theatrical Manager Henry c. Jar rett twas in lS49. came around the Horn from New York as supercargo of three ships bound for San Francisco. After we had discharged our cargoes l had some little leisure on my hands, and concluded to come to this country and take look at 1t, took passage on the Sea Gull, one of the very first steamers that ever came up the Colum- bia river. The blowing of the whistle caused considerable fright among the Indians along the banks. I.brought up from San Francisco hogshead of sugar on speculation. When we landed in Portland the hogshead fell overheard, but was soon fished out. The sugar was about 15o pounds heavier after the aoci- dent, but sold 1t, water and all, for 82 cents a pound. The sugar cost me 10 pound.
 'I bought large lot of potatoes here by the bushel at very low price, and sold them in San Francisco at 9t a pound. I also took back with me four turkeys and told sailor if he would hitch them up with strings and drive them through the streets of San Francisco and sell them he could have 25 per- cent of the prooeedsl He sold the turkeys for $50 apiece to a couple of restaurant keepers, who wanted the birds as an advertise ment.
