A Mvlng Mountain. "; '"'v ' 4'f A traveling mountain Is found at the cascades of the Columbia. It Is a triple peaked mass of dark brown bualt, six or eight miles In length where it fronts the river, and rising to a height of almost 2,000 feet .above the water. That; it is in motion Is the last thought that would be likely to sug gest itself to the mind of any one pass ing it, yet it is a well established fact that this entire mountain is wovicg fclowly but steadily down the river, as If it had, a deliberate purpose some time in the future to dam the Colum bia and form a great lake from the cascades to the Dalles. The Indian traditions indicate im mense movements of the mountains hereabouts long before white men came to Oregon, and the early settlers Im migrants, many of them from New England gave the above described mountainous ridge the name of "travel ing mountain,.' or,4'sliding mountain." In its forward and downward move ment the forests along tho base of the ridge have become submerged in the river, 'Large tree stubs can bo seen standing deep in the water on this shore. The railway engineers and the brakemen find that the line of t he rail road which skirts the foot of the mountain is being continually forced out of place. At certain points the roadbed and rails have been pushed eight or ten feet out of line in the course of a few years. Geologists attributed this strange phe nomenon to tho fact that the basalt, which constitutes the bulk of the mountain, rests on a substratum of conglomerate or . of soft sandstone, which the deep, swift current of the mighty river is constantly wearing away, or that this softer sub-rock is of itself yielding, at great depths, to the enormous weight of the harder material above. Astorian. Keeps a V.z Shop. rneresa oaius is tne proprietor 01 a rag shop in Wooster street. She has the advantage of a husband, who shields her from the blows of fortune. Mrs, Salus goes to the various factories and buys up all the new cotton, linen and woolen rags that accumulate during the week. They are sent to the shop, sorted by a couple of women, packed in bales and shipped to the paper mills. This well to do lady is an Austrian by birth, good looking, intelligent and keen witted. Her idea of success is to find some occupation, however simple, that will require less than half the vital energy. Then a maximum of labor will leave some strength for recupera tion. In other words, she thinks wo men work too hard. Lighter employ raent will bring the same return -and economize youth, health and temper. Mrs, Mary Dalton is the proprietor of a Prince Street concern where the orig inal pouncing paper for finishing men's felt and fur hats is manufactured. It is the only establishment of its kind in the city. Mrs. Dalton looks after the financial part of 'the business and her husband has chargo of the workroom. She is ""at her desk every day during business hours from October till July, allowing herself three months' vaca tion, which she thinks the minimum amount of rest for a business woman, professing ignorance as to the needs of the other sex. New York World. Keatnens Along- m Railway. The Boston and Albany railway from Boston to Worcester is about as fine a rebuke to careless housekeepers as can be read by those who run. Not a scrap of paper, not a twig even, dares fall along the lines, or if they do they are quickly removed, as is every other trace of rubbish. Walls, fences, the shrubbery by all the way stations all bear evidence of that immaculate keeping which the big road believes in and maintains at the cost of eternal vigilance, not. to mention the greater expense of dollars and cents. People who have traveled in England and on the continent are wont to deride the ap pearance of American railways, but much has been learned from foreign systems, and it cannot be admitted now that our companies are behind In the structure or the appearance of these arteries of travel. The Boston and Albany railroad has some of Bos ton's most prized suburban towns strung likfl beads on its iron threads, and it Is as much to the advantage of real estate owners as it is to the pockets of the stoc kholders that this high stand ard is so admirably preserved. Boston Herald. ., Panning: Resolution. The lack of excitement hi the Maine campaign, and the small attendance nt some of the caucuses, reminds one of a story told of Vice President Ham lin in his younger days when he dab bled with politics in Hampden. The only attendants at one of his caucuses was himself and a citizen of - large fftature. He had some resolutions to pass which began by representing that they were presented to a "large and respectable" gathering of the voters of Hampden. "Hold on," cried the other attendant, "we can't pass that, for it ain't truol It ain't a 'large and respectable' .caucus. There's only two of us." "You keep still, brother," commanded the wily Hannibal, "it's all right, for you are largo and I am respectable. You Just keep still." So the resolutions were passed without further demur.

We, the undersigned members of the Shiawassee county bar, do respectfully rep resent and certify that In the matter of drawing an illegal jury for the last Septem ber term ofcourt, the county clerk was in no way or manner to blame therefor, as the said Jury was excused by reason of errors made In the returns of the lists of names for petit jurors by some of the returning boards to the county clerk, the question of the legality of such returns being a matter en tirely beyond the control or management of the county clerk, he being obliged to accept tile, make up and draw the jury from the lists of names so furnished him, and if such lists had been legally and properly made, the Jury drawn therefrom would have been a legal jury. For further explanation we call your attention to the order of Judge Vernon II. Smith, excusing said jurors, and of his Honor, Judge Newton, requiring an amend ed return of lists Of names to be made to the county clerk. O. R. Lyon, Wm. M. Kllpatrlck, S. F. Smith, Watson & Chapman, John T. Mc Curdy, Hugh McCurdy, Mathew Bush, James M. Goodell, A. L. Chandler, S. S Miner, Jerome W. Turner, F. E. Welch. The above Is all true and the county clerk was In no way and in no manner responsi ble for, nor to blame in the matter. The supreme court in a similar case held the returns Improperly certified to the clerk and neither the clerk nor court have any control of the returns of jurors not properly certifi ed to, until the matter was brought to the attention of the court. October 18, 1890. William Newton, Circuit Judge. Gladstone on VTho Fays tne Tariff. It is alleged by the Cobden Clubites that the countries Imposing tariffs injure them selves, not us. Mr. Gladstone, however, has reasoned the matter out Though he Ignores It now, from motives of expediency, he cannot rebut his own argument Speak ing In 1843 of the French ordinance,hesald: It imposed an additional duty on the im portation of linen yarns; that additional duty must be paid by somebody; It is, in part paid by the French consumer; it is, In part paid, perhaps, in premiums to the smuggler; but it is also paid In great part by the man ufacturers. By Its effects its profits are diminished and bis power to pay wages was diminished. It is true that yarns continue to be made, but why? Because people must live, because the operative, from the abun dance of tho supply of labor as compared with the demand for It must work for what their employers can afford to give. I will not go Into any detail with respect to tho operation of the tariff in Germany, but I apprehend that It is much the same. I un derstand that the Increase of duties by the German tariff, which before the change were excessively high, has not had the effect of stopping tho exportation from this country. but Htill It has necessarily had the effect of diminishing profits and wages in this coun try, and has injured thereby our operative population.

Montrose, Fa., Lyceum Journal. Announcement. ''Ln Belle Marie" at IheOpern House, Saturday, (M. 25 The N. Y Dramatic News' June, 1890, fays of thu star and play : Miss Agnes Herndoti succeeded in creating a distinctly favorable impres sion at the Fourteenth Si reel Theatre last night, by her favorable impersona tion of of "La Belle Marie," in I lie play of that name. The rl which she un dertook to portray is one bestrewn with many difficulties such hh are rarely to be encountered in parts of this nature, and which to be tHicces-ifully overcome, re quires not only' a player's skill, but natural tact as well. In the hands of one not in jx's-wfsioi) of the last quality, the character would become coarse, not to say repulsive. It U voucln-aflne to Mist Ilerudoi'i a very large meed of praice, indeed, to say that her i in persona lion wa all that could bo desired. The play itself is interesting and contains many powerful situations' m m 7o Ovir Production. Careful estimates by Mr. Trultt, of Phila delphia and G. W. Bond, of Boston, woolen experts, show the total value of woolens made in this country in 1879 at $207,000, 000; value of imported woolens, with duties, $50,000,000. These make the total con sumption of woolens In this country in 1879 $317,000,000. For 1889, domestic woolens, $317,000,000; imported, duty paid included, 8110,000,000; total consumption in 1889, $427,000,000. In these ten years the population had In creased some 80 per cent; the value of woolens made at home 23 per cent; value of Imported woolens 85 per cent. Imports gain more than home manufacture. Which is best forthe farmer the woolen mill at his door, his only market for his wool and his best market for his produce or the woolen mill in England? Free traders are run hard for facts and turn prophets of coming evil. "Over-production" is one of their bugbears. Some years ago it was estimated that our manu factures must increase $200,000,000 yearly to keep up with our growing population. Push on, room enorgh yet, more homo products needed for home markets.

Stockton, author of "Rudder Grange," wihlch opens the Atlantic Monthly for November, Is en titled "The House of Martha."' It abounds In that dry, whimsical humor, which is so difficult to analyze and yet so easy to enjoy.
