Pastor Scudder, Of Jersey City, says:
"The bicycle Is a thoroughly Christian
machine, for 1t improves the temper,
discourages dissipation, makes man
look on the bright side Of things and
puts vivacity into his religion. When !
feel stupid, or cross, or blue, | get on my
twenty-five pounder and take lively
spin. In ten minutes the world looks
different. begin to feel like an angel.
! feel as II ! had wings, and act more
like an angel, my wife tells me the next
day." Judging from the sulphnrous
fumes that arise from some OF our local
wheelmen when they 90 rolling IN the
dust we imagine they do not experience
the same angelic feeling as does this
worthy man.
The Union Pacific road has been put
in repair from Umatilla down 10 Airing
ton, and the people Of HeppDer are
again in communication with the East.
II 10 expected that the road will be open
from Portland 10 the Cascade locks by
Saturday night, June30, which will help
out wonderfully in making repairs from
there to this city, asit will enable mater
ial OF all kinds to be sent TO the front,
and also by barges from Cello to points
along the line, which will enable the
work OF repairing to be carried on at
several places simultaneously. Over
1000 men are at work between Bonne-
vile and Arlington. II il expected that
the line will be in working order 10 the
east by July 15.--Times- -Mountaineer.
The man who cries down Oregon must
have but little conception OF what an in
dustrious and economical man can do
here, for one OF our townsmen came here
fonr years ago without dollar to his
name. He now owns four lots in town,
handsomely improved, and his four
acres, including his lots, have trees set
out and bearing him plenty OF the most
delicious fruits, and not dime in debt.
He is perfectly satisfied with Oregon,
and cannot imagine how anyone can
find fault with this country, or fail to
make good living, il not competence,
by the labor Of his hands in any indus
trious employment. Oregon is good
enough for him and will be for anyone
who is industrious and economical. -
Independence West Side.
How often do you see in all towns a
class OF men who loaf all the time. They
eat, sleep, wear clothing, smoke, chew
and squirt tobacco juice; they know all
about politics, religion, and everybody's
business, but their own. In fact such
people havnit any business Of their own.
They can give yon pointer on every
thing, and no deal or enterprise is any
good unless they have their stamp OF ap-
proval on 1t. Now these people may be
right, but may the good Lord in his low
ing kindness steer our bark clear Of that
kind Of people, for they are only stumb-
ling blocks in the way of the serious,
earnest and hardworking man, who has
no time for anyone's business but his
own; and he has to do good solid days
work to do that.-American.
With its usual disposition to he con-
trary, the Journal last week saw tit to
contradict the GLoBE's statement con.
cerning the time the newly-elected Off,
GERS take charge OF the respective offices
In nearly every instance, the Journals
statements are wrong. Our county as
SCISSOR informs US that instead of his
term expiring ON the first Monday in
March, as the Journal states. IL is OF
the first Monday in January. A great
philosopher once said, and 1t evidently
alludes to such higots as the Journa
man: "The FOOLS who know the least
are the ones who imagine they know il
all, and make the greatest display O
their ignorance. Another philosopher
trutbfully said: "Put beggar on 1
horse and he'll ride him to death"
