ViscOunt SherbrOoke's Humor.

Robert Lowe became the recognized mouthpiece of sardonic humor, and thereby obtained more than his share of questionable notoriety. Many of his imputed stories are obviously adap- tations A former friend who met him in London is said to have accosted him with the remark: Don't you remember me? used to know you in Australia, :" and to have met with the rebuff: "Yes, and when I meet you again in Austra- lia shall be happy to know you" But thls is a mere echo of George Selwyn's remark under like circumstances: "I shall be pleased to renew our acquaint- ance when we meet again in Bath."- Quarterly Review.

LOVABLE GIRLS.

Girls that are fair on the hearthstone, And pleasant when nobody sees; Kind md sweet to their own folk, Ready and anxious 10 please. The girls tha. are wanted are wise girlA That know what to do and to say: That drive with a smile or a soft word The wrath of the household away. The girls that are wanted are girls of sense, Whom fashion can never deceive; Who can follow whatever is pretty, And dare what is silly to leave. The girls that are wanted are careful glrls. Who count what thing will cost: Who use with prudent, generous hand, But see that nothing Is lost The girls that are wanted are girls with hearts; They are wanted for mothers and wives. Wanted to cradle in loving arms, The strongest and frailest of lives. The clever the witty the brilliant girl, There are very few, understand: But O! for the wise, loving, home girls. There's constant and steady demand.

 SCHOOL AND CHURCH.


 The United States bureau of edu- cation was established in 1867.
 The world in 1888 had 79l. .4a5 schools for elementary instruction, with 50,si6,oO0 pupils
 It is stated that s6, 900 out of pop ulation of 46,OOO in the Samoan islands profess Christianity.
 The progress of education in Eu- rope since 1S40 has been wonderful. The population has increased 3S per cent. and the school attendance l45 per cent.
 The universities and colleges of this country have ss,6S4,3S5 worth of scientific apparatus and appliances: their grounds and buildings are worth s64, ,259,344, and they have s74,o70, 4l5 in productive funds.
 Baltimore has more than hun dred Christian Endeavor societies, rep resenting sixteen sectarian denomina- tions, and an effort is already being made in that city to have the annual convention in 1896 held there. Next years convention is to be held in San Francisco.

 -Berlin is not the only great Prot estant capital in Europe that sorely needs new churches. Tn Christiana, in Norway, there is an average population of 13,000 for each church, and in Copen- hagen an average of 26.000; or, includ- ing the suburbs of Fredericksburg, even of 2s.OO0. Should Copenhagen be supplied with churches only as we'll as Christiania is, the number of parishes would have to be increased from thir- teen to twenty-eight. ht.-N. Y. Independ- ent
 President w. R. Harper of tie Chi cago university touches upon a very poItdub qucSLiOu Lo ltCultltS III Ills article in the Forum. He says there is no class of college professors whose pay is on a level with the pay of men in positions of first and second rank and responsibility in the industrial com munity. He continues: "Irhe salaries of the lower class of professors com pare with the wages of skilled work men employed in the mechanical in- dustries. The salaries that range up- ward from the general average of s1,- 470 compare with the pay of skilled and responsible operatives and of the lower grades of responsible clerical and sub- ordinate administrative employees. It is only the highest class of professors, the incumbents of responsible and ex- acting posts in the larger colleges and universities, who are to be compared with the lower grades of the responsi- ble officers of q railroad or an industrial corporation or insurance company"

WHERE IS THE GENTLE GIRL ?
Has She Been Displaced by tho Aggressive
 Young Business Woman?

Young Business Woman?
 One hears and reads much about the gentleman who will keep his seat in a crowded street car and will not spend his vacation at the popular summer re- sorts, but what has become of the gen. tie girl? Where are those sweet, shy creatures who used to wear lawn dresses and Leghorn hats, who shranl1 from anything approaching the con- spicuous, who spoke low and sweet" who were taught that sarcasm was rudeness, and that lady smiled but never laughed? What has become of blushing sixteen and all those dainty, quiet young women who would rather be sweet than smart? Has the gen. tie girl gone with the ''huzzy,n the work basket and the tatting shuttle?
 The business girl is too sharp to be agreeable. Her motto seems to be to suspect everybody all the time She has an I-know-wha t-you re-up-to kind of manner; she says "How are you?" when you come into her presence and looks you straight in the eyes without the glimmer of smile or a trace of em- barrassment. She bosses the office boy and charwoman, the services of the janitor are commanded, not requested, and life from her point of view is too short to be wasted on politeness. The girls who show the least consideration for the saleswomen are the best GUS toners; they have money but no man. ners. Perhaps nowhere is the incivility and rudeness of our young women more remarkable than in the street cars, and it makes little difference whether the passengers come from college, families in good circumstances. boarding schools, workshops. or shopping dis tricts, the faces are cross-looking, the manner is aggressive, the voices are shrill, the gaze is steady, and the gen. tie girl is conspicuous by her absence.

once rearrested on the same charge,
with the above result.
The saw mill at Ainslie, together
with the townsite, was sold 10y the
sheriff last week. The purchaser is
w. Mcintosh, representing the Lon
don IL San Francisco bank. Ainslie is
in the southern part Of Lewis county,
and last year was the scene of por-
ton of the Napoleonic operations of
the Ainslie Lumber Company. A
splendid TOWNSHIP was laid out, electric
lights were put in, street improve
ments were begun, sewers and water
works were projected, and one of the
finest lumber and furniture manu-
featuring plants on the coast was
erected. A railroad, splendidly equip
ped, was built out into the timber for
logging purposes. This, it was given
out, was to be completed to Astoria
Immediately. Fabulous tales were
told of the wealth of the company and
of the industries it proposed to estab-
lish at Ainslie in order to build up a
great city. Suddenly the company
collapsed, and n startling story OF the
methods by which its officers had
swindled banks and wholesale houses
out OF many hundred thousand dol
lars was made public. The Portland
Offices of the company were closed,
and the Ainslie concern went into the
hands of receiver. The property
which was sold the other day will
not pay creditors 10 cents on
the dollar.

Threats Of q Mailman.

King county has crank who seems
determined to stir up a sensation
among our public officers. His name
is Subway. He has resided on a school
section near Aurills, without gaining
title to the land. He has made him.
self a home costing about $1,000, &C.
cording to his own story. The land
was lately sold to Mr.. Longacker by
the State Land Commission, Subway
agreeing to give possession on payment
of the amount spent for improve
ments. 1t seems that the purchaser
has not paid the 81 600, and Subway
wants the State Commissioners to
collect it for him. He has flooded
their office with letters, despite their
answer that they had not sold his i'm
provements and consequently had no
money belonging to him. He has
now begun to threaten, and each day
his letters become more like the
rawlings of mailman, as he doubtless
is. A few days ago he wrote: eff l
come to Olympia, I'll blow your brains
out, you d rascals. Don't fool me
too long, / tell you, for you may be
sorry for it," And again: "Why do
you tell me you have set aside the sale
and then tell me to go to Ii? 1
will go to IL if you will show me
the way. l might as we'll get my neck
into the moose as to starve to death
this winter"
1t is not wise to hear these threats
with Indifference. The crank's meth.
OILS have of late years frequently de-
veloped into the work of the assassin.
There is no safe reliance that it will
not do so here. and precautionary
measures should be taken by those
against whom the mailman has threat.
ened to take summary vengeance.

A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT AT PORTLAND

A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT AT PORTLAND
"wednesday morning, about 7 o'clock
during dense fog, the electric Cal
from Oregon City plunged off the
Madison street bridge, into the Will
lamette river, carrying with it at least
five passengers, who had not time to
jump from the car after it was dis.
covered that the disaster was inevita.
BILE. Ten passengers saved their lives
by jumping, before the Car fell through
the open draw, the cause OF the acct
dent. The span had been opened to
allow steamer to pass through, but
this fact was unknown to the motor
man until quite close, on account OF
the fog. Soon as the fact was appa-
rent he put on the brakes, but the
track was slippery and they would not
work without sand, which it seems
had not been provided. He then re-
versed the motor, but this did not
check the momentum. He with
others then jumped from the car.
The President of the company, the
conductor and the mutorman were
placed under arrest, but released on
bail.

equal to that gathered from many
years vi foreign travel, means not
available to the vast majority who
could stand the expense Of pilgrimage
to the Worlds Fair. Many OF these
benefits are farreaching and the re-
suits may not be manifest for years,
but there seems to be a fair prospect
for gam at once in the mental progress
a. well as the development of business
interests that follows a closer knit of
commercial dependence.
What have we to show on the other
side Of the balance sheet? More, I'M
fortunately, than had the great ex-
hibit fallen upon some prosperous
year. A Diversion at anytime OF the
attention OF the whole people from
their customary pursuits, leads to
reduce volume Of business, and this,
in the aggregate, to considerable loss
but taken at time when the pulse
beat low from other causes, it was a
potent factor of misfortune. Some
people have boarded their means or
taxed their credit for the funds for
seeing the Worlds show, while others
will have to 60 ON short commons for
some time to make up for what, under
their circumstances, might be regarded
as a profiigate expenditure of both
time and money. These instances are
SO common, in every community, that
it can readily be seen they have made
conditions that have intensified hard
times. Then each State has added to
the burden of taxation in the endeavor
to make creditable showing at the
Fair. With some of the wealthy COM
munities its influence will be scarcely
felt, but in Others it will add percepta-
bly, towards placing that mythical
feather which is supposed to have
broken the camels back.
Taken as whole, the Fair has been
grievous burden at this time, and its
benefits just now are not available
assets for what is charged up on the
other side of the ledger. This result
could not be foreseen nor probably
averted. 1t is over. People will soon
return to their homes and begin at
once the work OF improving the tinan-
cial conditions. Congress has given
some aid in the same direction, and
despite the prospects of hard winter,
there are golden riffs in the clouds
that have so long obscured the hori-
ION.

The Repeal.

Following is the little joker which
has engaged the attention of the Sen
ate and the people SO long. The
House has concurred in amendments
and the bill has been signed by the
President
That so much of the act approved
July "a, 1890, entitled An act direct
ing the purchase Of silver bullion and
issue of treasury notes thereon, and
for other purposes" as directs the
Secretary of the Treasury to purchase
from time to time silver bullion to the
aggregate amount of 500 600 ounces,
or so much thereof as may be offered
in each month, at the market price
thereof, not exceeding 81 for 37l.25
grains of pure silver, and to issue in
payment for such purchases treasury
notes of the United States, be, and the
same is hereby repealed.
And it is hereby declared to be the
the policy OF the United States to con-
tinue the use of both gold and silver
as standard money, and to coin both
gold and silver into money of equal in
trinsic exchangeable value, such
equality to be secured through inter-
national agreement, or by such safe
guards of legislation as will insure the
maintenance of the parity in value Of
the coins of the two metals and the
equal power OF every dollar at all times
in the markets and in the payment Of
debts. And it is hereby further de-
clared that the efforts of the govern
ment shall be steadily directed to the
establishment of such a safe system of
bimetallism as will maintain at all
times the equal power of every dollar
coined or issued by the United States
in the markets and in the payment Of
debts.
