Lord Tennyson as Carpet Cleaner.


Tennyson appeared once in the new
character of carpet cleaner. Calling
on some friends and finding them
absent he wrote them a polite note,
but had the misfortune to overtu1n
the ink bottle upon the beautiful
white Persian carpet. Frantic, he
appealed for help to the servant. She,
suddenly recollecting that new milk
will remove ink when wet, seized a
Can of the creamy liquid which hap
pened to have been just left by the
milkman. She upset the can on the
large black pool and set about rub
bing and scrubbing the stain.
Down went Tennyson ON his hands
and knees, rubbing and scrubbing
also, in an agony of suspense lest his
friends should return, which he after
ward said reached the infinite" {"
Every trace of ink was removed, and
the servant was rewarded with a
5-shilling piece and the poets "God
bless your'-London Tit-Bits.

A POPULAR CIRCUS.
The New Great Syndicate Shows Abso-
lutely Unparalleled.

The New Great Syndicate Shows Abso-
lutely Unparalleled.
Wherever the new great syndicate
shows and Paris hippodrome has eX.
hibited this year,i it has drawn crowded
tents, thus proving that the new Or
ganization has secured the public
fullest approval. The new organiza
tion is composed of the very best and
most widely experienced showmen OF
both Europe and America, ,and is under
the capable direction of Mr.. J. N.
Rentfrow, manager of extensive ex-
perience and pre-eminent ability. AS
per press notices of all cities where it
has exhibited, the show is one of the
best that travels, and has firmly estab-
lished its reputation to present one OF
the very best and cleanest entertain
ments. The circus is given simultane-
ously in three rings and on two cele-
brated stages. The hippodrome track
is quarter of mile around, which
encircles the rings and is used for the
races and Olympian sports.
The menageria department is very
fine, embracing large and costly va
riety of wild beasts. One of its most
interesting features is a flock of huge
African ostriches, which the manage
ment purchased and imported after a
costly outlay, The great syndicate
show is the only circus exhibiting
such feature. This show exhibits at
The Dalles Saturday, July 6.

A Brave Act.

The horse attached to the Pacific Ex-
press Co.'s wagon took a notion this
morning to rid himself of all
restraint by running through the
streets at break-neck speed. He was
coming up Court street unmindful of
obstacles. when two men attempted to
head him off; but he paid little atten-
tion to their cries af whoa. whoa! At
this juncture Mr.. Jos. Vodka jumped
into the back of the wagon, grabbed
the reins and managed to stop the ami
NAL after it had gone about half a
block. No damage was done: but it
Mr.. Vodka had not performed the act
he did serious consequences might
have resulted.

Down on the great jetty, at the
mouth of the Columb bia, work is being
pushed forward as rapidly as circum-
stances will permit. Not a large force
of men are employed for the reason
that they could not be worked to much
advantage. Quantities'of stone. brush,
piling, ETC., are being taken down in
barges and used in the construction of
the jetty. There need be no delay in
the completion of this great govern
ment improvement, for the last appro-
priation made is ample to finish the
work. Major Post, under whose gen.
eral supervision the. work is being
carried forward, is confident that the
jetty will be completed before the be-
ginning of 1896.

Notice to Water Consumers.

The Water Commissioners have
ordered that the rules concerning the
use of water for irrigation be printep
and posted upon the gates of copsum-
ers SO that all may understand what
the rules are. This has been done as
ordered. The great waste of water
heretofore and the limited supply,
make the enforcement of these rules
absolutely necessary. All consumers
will please take notice of these regu-
lations and in case of a violation of
the rules the water will be at once
shut off and charge of S1.00 will be
made before again making the con-
nectiOn. l. J. NORMAN,

The Rain.

The copious showers of rain which
fell yesterday will do considerable
good to growing grain and greatly in
crease the amount to be harvested.
1t was very general, and extended
over this and Sherman counties. OF
course fall sown wheat will not be ben
Gifted much, because it is nearly ready
to be harvested; but that planted in
the spring will be much improved.
Rain in July is not expected in this
latitude; but it was very welcome,
although very unexpected. Its effect
on the grasshopper pest we have not
learned; but their depredations will
continue until the crop is harvested.

A Child Devoured.

Persons returning from the Okan-
ogan country confirm the report that
an Indian child had been eaten by
hogs few days ago, says the Wilbur
Register. 1t seems that squaw resid-
ing just below the Indian school on the
Okanogan river had left her papoose,
tied to a board in the customary man
ner. leaning against tree while she
went to the river to do some washing.
When she returned she found several
head of hogs fighting over the remains
of her child. The hogs had devoured
the child, all except its head, and that
only resembled ball of dirt. A more
horrible scene could scarcely be i'm
aoined.

A Coal Mine In China.

The coal mines at Wang san-sl.ih
are very interesting. There are here
three seams of "a feet, feet and Ia
feet, which are at an angle Of so de-
grees, nearly due south. A perpen-
dicular shaft has been sunk 106 feet
with no fault. The first 25 feet were
through alluvium, thence through
quartzite and a few bands of shale in
quartzite. The shaft is being deep
ened at the rate of four inches per
hour. Wang-sanshih is orly three
miles from the line { .a!!,sy and
six miles from the iron mines. In
summer creek comes within half a
mile of the works, and it was up this
that the heavy machinery was
brought to the mines By tho follow
ing ingenious process:
A raft drawing only an inch to the
ton was constructed, and, the ma
chinery being shipped, was d. ..,.5ged
UP the creek till it grounded. Then
a dam was built behind which caused
it to float, and this was successively
and successfully done until the ma
chinery was got to within half
mile of the mines. Hand porterage
took it the rest of the way.-Inven-
ton.

A Narrow Escape For Butler.

1t is not generally known that Oil
yer Stevens, the present district at
torney, once saved General Buffers
life. 1t was at the Charleston con-
vention, more than 80 years ago.
General Buffers course in the coa
vention had been conspicuously bold
and courageous, and his antagonism
to certain elements had been notice
ably unrelenting. Jack Cas-anagh, a
well known figure at conventions and
caucuses in those days, after many
bloody threats, finally one evening
loaded up his revolver and himself
and made for General Buffers quar-
ters. He would have found the gen
eral unprepared and unable to defend
himself, and he undoubtedly woald
have shot him, but Oliver Stevens
intercepted Jack and spirited him
away and at the same tir2e y.or5

Died While Attending IA Meeting at the
Luthern Church Last Night.

Martin Myers, of this city while at
tending an official meeting at the
Lutheran church last night about s
o'clock died very suddenly while sitting
in chair. from what is pronounced
to be heart failure. Mr.. Myers was an
old resident of this county and few
years ago moved to the city, but still
kept his farm, on which place his son
now lives, about five miles north ofthis
city. He was member of the Grand
Army Post of this city and was a re-
markably fine old gentleman. He was -
years old, yet was able to be about his
duties.
1t is not definitely known when the
funeral services will occur, on account
of daughter who lives in New jersey.
Word could not be sent to her on
account of the telegraph lines being out
of order. The funeral will be an
nOunced later. The Grand Army will
conduct the services at the cemetary.

Kindness.
grdinnle.

This is word easily spoken. Yet
how few stop for even moment to con-
slider its import, much less the carrying
out of all that the brief expression I'M
plies. Kindness has done more for the
human heart than money could possibly
do. 1t makes the old young in heart
to be met upon all sides with Kindness;
it makes the care-worn and weary
mother, father, sister or brother stronger
in contendlng with the myriad of almost
inSurmOuntable obstacles in LIES path.
1t makes home the most sacred and
loved spot on earth. 1t is the human
sunlight of our existence, and will make
all human nature bow at its shrine.
There is no virtue III our nature to be
more admired or cultivated than that
of kindness. The very dogs upon the
street will reciprOcate a kindness at the
hands of even stranger. Don't be afraid
ofspoiling anyone with kindness proper
ly bestowed. 1t can't be done. Instead
of spelling, it beauties the character,
cheers the heart and helps to lift the
burden from the shoulders which
though brave, sometimes grow weary.
Kindness rendered many times gives
more pleasure than when received. Elk.
