Captain Hurlbut Of the British bark
Bowman B. Law considers himself for
tunate in coming out of a terrible ty-
phoon in the China seas, not without o
scratch, but without the loss of any Of
his crew or wen of a spar or sail. This
Is his experience as he related it:
I'VE left Sourabaya, Java. bound for
the Columbia river. All went we'll for
the first week. The men put in their
time well about the ship, and one par
ticular job that was attended to was
painting the mizzentopmast. This was
wood, the other masts and topmasts
being iron. I noticed that the paint on
the spar blistered more or less under the
tropical sun.
Zone fine afternoon, under a clear
sky, tho storm same on us. There was
hardly any warning. The typhoon shot
out of the gulf Of Siam as though it
came from a canno What in the dis
tance was a ripple on the surface of the
sea, rs it approached us became a feath-
cry, foam dashed mass of waves. and
the next instant the hurricane struck us.
All sail was slowed away and we tore
ahead under bare poles at locomotive
speed. When the fury of the typhoon
abated, we found everything intact. The
mizzentopmast, however. was bare of
paint. Tire wind had blown the blisters
on, and nothing remained bct the un-
covered WOOD. Portland Oregonian.

eeatty's pianos and organs,

Hon. Daniel +. Beatty, the great Or.
gan and Piano nan of Washington, N. j.,
is buster than ever. In 1870 Mr.. Beatty
left home a penniless pillow boy, and by
his indomitable will he has worked his
way up so as to sell so far, nearly 100 ,0OO
Of Beatty's Pianos and Organs since 1870.
Nothing seems to dishearten him obsta-
cles lay in his way that would have
wrecked an ordinary mar forever; he
turns to an advertisement and comes out
OF it brighter than ever. His instru-
ments are in USE everywhere. We are
informed that during the next ten years
he intends to sell 200, 900 more of his
make. That means a business of $20,-
0O0, 900, if we average them at 800 each.
It is already the largest business of the
kind in existence. Read his advertise
ments.

A SUBSTITUTES PENSION


A Novel Case Involving an Intricate Point
OF Law Sprung In Texas.
A queer case Involving an intricate
point OF law VIII have to be decided by
the chancellor of this chancery division.
Peyton Fenelon of Like county did not
care to risl; his precious body as a target
for Confederate bullets, SO be hired Alex
ander Moberbly as n substitute. At the
battle Of Ghie,.auiauga. &oberbly was
wounded in the left leg by a MIME ball
and madea cripHle for lie. As il COM
pensatioa fer bis woua1 he applied for a
pension, ard though it has been pending
for years his case has just been decided
in his favor, and a few days ago no re-
ceived notification thai he would receive
$1,000 back pension money.
AS soon as Fenelon heard of this he
filed a bill in chancery to prevent the
payment of the money, claiming that
Moberbly was not fighting for himself,
but was fighting for him (Fenelon), and
that as Moberbly was paid for his serv-
ices the money rightfully belongs to him
(Fenelon). This is the first case of the
kind on record and will attract wide
spread attention. -Trimble (Tex.) Cor

One as good Republicans as there is

NY Way or COMPARISON.

Some Of the little whipper-snapper
Republican sheets OF the strip country
continually harp on the alleged ex-
travagance of the Democratic officials
Of those counties. OF course every body
who is at all conversant with the facts
knows that the allegations are utterly
without foundation of fact and pure
fabrications, For the information Of
any who may be curious to know
what the situation in the strip coun-
ties, under Democratic control is as
compared with like number of other
counties under Republican misrule,
we submit the following statement
which is ccrpiled from the official
records in the governors office:
Six months after organization, un-

The Democrats of the Sixth council
district did the wise thing in selecting
Hon. John II. Clark of Saltwater as
their candidate for the council. Capt
Clark is one Of the biggest and brain

give her equitable and righteous laws
for the conservation of her every best

THE citizen Of the country is just as
much interested in having honest and
capable men in the county Offices, and
in the faithful accounting of the
public moneys from whatever source
obtained, as is the resident of the city.
The rate of taxes for county purposes
is just the same. Therefore, the rural
citizen cannot afford to ignore the
local issues and withhold his support
from candidates who are put forward
for the various offices on account of
their well-known fitness therefor, as
against those who were given or Sc
cured nominations for personal con-
siderations or for the advantage Of the
party machine.
