DEVICES OF sMUGGLERs.
A Supply of Tobacco Concealed In q
Honowcd-Out Bible.

From the Westminster Budget.
Few people. we fancy, have ever seen tho
Smugglers' Museum down the river at her
najesty's customs. Here is a short descrip-
ton Of few of the curiosities which IL
contains, and few sketches of the artfui
lodges of smugglers
Going upstairs we came to perhaps the
most interesting part Of the whole tour
the Smuggling Museum.
There, SIR" said the little Snowman q
dry, witty person who would make his for
tune upon the stage, as he took down a
Misunderstanding book and put II under his
arm, there amt much the matter with
that, is there?'
replied that 1t looked innocent enough
In all conscience, for, indeed, If the truth
must be spoken, II was to all appearance
an ordinary Bible.
We'll, sir, that was carried by a gent got
up as a Methody preacher. One day he
was caught with this under his arm, and
now look, SIR" / did, and lol It was quite
hollow, and filled, crammed with tobacco.
A loaf of bread was then placed in my
hands. Gave slice. sirT' asked the small
man. / shook my head: II looked rather too
stale. Carefully removing the top of IL, my
cicerone showed me that 1t was followed
most carefully out, and that 1t was full or
the best cigars.
1 kicked my foot against a log Of wood
that was lying at my feet, and / rather
wondered that so ShaDDy an article snouio

There you are, sir, exactly what them

they diskivers the ortnary-looking bit O.

dodge and no one would think II was any,
thing else but a mere innocent bit o. tim

Another book had a bottle of brandy
carefully and skillfully fixed inside of II.
hollow concertina was probably a source
of dscord between its owner and the dis
coverers Of the improper use to which IL
had been put. For, instead Of being full
of the very spirits OF harmony, II was found
to have been a receptacle for very different
kinds of spirits indeed. Then there was
shirt, crammed with pockets and in which
had been stored away no less than $50
watches. The man who wore this was I'M
able to sit or lie in II, and throughout the
whole voyage, presumably a short one he
had to stand the whole time; but on one
occasion, having been delayed In a fog, and
being thus compelled to remain upon his
feet for seventy long, weary hours, he
tainted dead away when land was reached
and so fell into the clutches OF the lynx
eyed officers Of the revenue.

through the rotten Ice and we poor devils
jumping from one submerged foe to another
up to our hips in water and compelled
partly to ride upon the boat and partly to
leap from piece to piece in order to keep

Nothing New Under the Sun.

From Truth.
When Gutenberg and Faust arrayed
Their symbol types In line,
John Chinaman spoke up and said:
THE art has long been mine;
My ancestors arranged them so
Some 10000 years ago.
Yet minus books, In primal dark,
John sprawls his scrawl and makes bis mark.
When Watt had welded steel to steam
And made the bobbins sing,
John Chinaman remarked: Il deem
That trick an ancient thing;
The Flowery Land had such show
Some 20,o00 years ago"
And yet the whole celestial hand
Still spin, as Hagar did, by hand.
When Stephenson and Fulton tied
The piston to a wheel.
And round the earth bade Commerce ride
With wings upon Its heel.
John said MY people travelled 30
Some 10000 years ago"
Yet still, as when the race began,
They always tote the old sedan.
When thought FIRST learned the way to hy
On Morses telegraph,
John shook his pigtail in reply,
Observing with a laugh:
This thing to China made ko-tow
Some 10000 years ago;
But talkee-talkee all about
1t was a bore; we drove II out"
When Edison from nature stole
Her secrets, one by one,
To Matter gave tongue and soul,
To Night q blazing sun,
John said: ''Our fathers used to know,
Some 0OO0 years ago,
These miracles, but, useless quite,
We let them vanish out Of sight"
When Krupp's big cannon sent a shell
Through miles a half a score,
John said: That's tolcrably well
q, For modern rifle bore;
But we made powder, don't you know,
Some 20 600 years ago?'
Yet cross-bow China strings once more
To crush Japan In "a.
When Queen Chicago rose ana spent
Her millions-royal sight!
To show the world the continent
Columbus brought to light.
John said: when We were out to row,
Some 20, 900 years ago,
We ran against Flu Sang one day;
No good we found, and skipped away"
Say John! o claimant, chronological
There's one thing older far
Than Faustus type and Morses pride
And Futon's magic car,

Death OF Charley Haight.

At five minutes past s O'Clock last
night Charles E. Haight dropped dead
in Kinersly's drugstore. He had been
rowing on the river IN company with
Mr.. Mohr, and came directly from the
river to the drugstore. He had his coat
over his arm and after talking moment
to Mr.. Kinersly and Frank Clarke went
to the back end of the store where there
is box with shoe blacking and brush,
laid his coat on pile of wall paper, and
prepared to black his shoes. In a
monet Kinersly and Clarke heard fall,
and Charley Clarke called them, saying
Mr., Haight had fallen. Charley was
near him aud looking at him when he
fell. Mr.. Haight had gone to the box
and as he reached it began to stagger,
fell over against the counter catching it
turned over to the right and fell on his
back. Drs. Sutherland and Doane were
both near the store and came hurriedly
in, the latter after momentary exam
ination prepared and administered
hypodermic injection of digitaline, fol-
lowing it with one of brandy. In the
meanwhile DIR. Sutherland had opened
his shirt and found but faint futtering
of the heart, with scarcely discernable
pulse. The blood was running from his
mouth, and to give him a better chance
to breathe he was turned on his side,
but after gasp or two he was dead.
The body was taken to Michell's under
taking rooms and prepared for burial,
Rev. Whistler and DIR. Hollister in the
meanwhile informing as gently as possi-
BILE, Mrs. Haight of the sad bereavement
that had fallen upon her. The little
lady bore up bravely and if the sympathy
of the entire community can avail to
tighten the blow, it surely is hers.
Deceased was 3S years of age, of
jnvial, kindly disposition, and leaves in
Vulnerable friends to mourn his sudden
taking off. He was member of Friend
ship lodge, K. OF P. and will be buried
according to the ceremonies of that
order, the funeral taking place tomorrow
evening at o'clock.

venience will have to be borne, as it can
not be helped.
Merchants in the interior want to put
it down in the tablets of their memory
that they can get anything they want in
the merchandise line in The Dalles. Big
supplies of sugar, salt and sulphur are
on hand, harvesting machinery is abun-
dant, and our merchants are ready to
stock up their neighbors in the interior
at prices that will compete with those of
Portland.
We incline to the opinion that the
statement made by the Glacier that I66
persons reached the summit of Mt. Hood
an error, as only thirty four took the
goat rank. 1t is more probable that
that number gathered around the
mountain, but did not make tie ascent.

Office Of vice-president was a deserved

THE ASCENT OF MT. HOOD.
The NIazamRs Reach the Summit in
Thunder Storm.

The Mazamas assembled in force at
Cloud Cap Inn and Government Camp,
and although the weather on the morn
ing of the 10Th was anything but pro-
pitious for the ascent, all were eager to
make the start. A thunder storm came
up at 2 o'clock in the morning, and later
on a terrific wind storm. with rain at s
O'Clock. On the south side of the noun
tain the early climb bers were treated to a
hail storm.
The Portland party, from Government
Camp, were the first to start, and their
advance reached the summit at a. m.
At that hour regular hurricane was
blowing and the party had to hug the
snow drifts for shelter. The climbers
from Government Camp kept arriving
at the summit until 2:55 in the after
noon. The Cloud Cap party left the Inn
at 9 80 and reached the summit in five
hours. The following named persons
reached the summit of Mt. Hood from
Cloud Cap Inn:
Miss Alice Cleaver, Miss Della Wat
son, Miss Olive Hartley, Miss Ida Foss,
E. G. Stuart, Frank Mcclure, Griff Per-
rott, Ed. Williams, S. E. Bartmess, w.
w. Mason, H. j. Mand, G. H. McIsaac,
E. T. Simmonds, James Dimmick, j. E.
Hanna, Will Mercer, A. J. Johnson, H.
D. Langille, P. G. MCGUIRE.
The Cloud Cap party left the summit
at :55 in the afternoon and made the
descent in 1 hour and 45 minutes; all
arriving at the Inn in good shape.
One hundred and sixty-six climbers
reached the summit during the day.
Eighty-four others failed to reach the
top of the mountain or turned back on
account of the storm.
The Mazamas organized on the sum-
NIT of the mountain with 80 charter
members, % from the Government
Camp party and 10 from Cloud Cap.
The following officers of the society were
elected:
w. G. Steel of Portland, president
H. D. Langille of Hood River, first vice
president; = Wilbur of Portland, Sec
ond vice president; Prof. Chapman of
Eugene, third vice president; A. j.
johnson of Astoria, fourth vice presi-
dent; Miss Fay Fuller of Tacoma, his
torian; c. H. Shoals of Portland, secre-
tary; F. G. Little of Portland, treasurer.
While the Cloud Cap party were on
the mountain the atmosphere was clear
and the view to be had of the surround
ing country was grand. The snow peaks
in sight were Mts. jefferson, Thielsen,
Shasta, Three Sisters, Adams, Rainier
and St. Helens. They could see the
Columbia river below Portland, and
Eastern Oregon to the Blue mountains.
Carrier pigeons were sent to the Ore
gonian by Mr.. Parrott-the first from
Cloud Cap and three from the summit.
Those sent from the summit seemed to
appreciate their altitude, tor after flying
around once above the mountain, COM
menced circling down and down until
lost from view far below in more con-
genial atmosp phere.
Those making the, ascent from Cloud
Cap speak in high terms of the manage,
nent of Doug. Langille. His new route
from the inn makes the ascent much
easier. About one thousand feetof rope
