Two years ago when every man who owned an unoceupied lot built or started to build a house upon it, with the result that hundreds of residences of all grades wero added to the number of the city’s homes, the pessimists declared that the growth of the city in this respect had far outgrown its actual growth in populution. They predicted that the result would be harmful for ny years to come, that blocks of vacant houses would stand monument 10 over enthusinst and injure i g 5. It is very grat- ilying that not a singlo one of these predic- tious huve been fulfilled. On the contrary, there have been as many houses built this year as in any year of the city's history, and in spite of all this there are” fewer vacant houses now than ever before. In fact, desirable house is almost impossiblo to find.

There was a rade stage, and the benches were down in a graded pit with Mother Earth for a floc He was to have $100, and two women in the company engaged for #60 and 40. The stick eompany of the place gathered around a big stove in the middle of the theater, shivering in their overconts. They had been g under the stage and on the benches They did not earn cnough money to live t the hotel. Lodging at the hotel cost 812 a 'k, cocktails cost four bits(50 cents), and so did ashave. A week's bill at the hotel aged about $30. The local actors were w mpe- tent—indeod, one of them told Mr, Maguire that “‘the only thing he conld play was a cornet.” The actors of abil- ity, like Maguire, were treated with ve- gpoct, the actresses receive Hvalric attentions, but, alas! in this particular the mana every night gambled away the money taken in at the door, Sometimes, during and at the close of the war of the rebeliion, theatrica! folk played upon billiard tables, or in dining rooms whe the tables were massed to- gether to make a stage. or in uny empty building there happened to be, Bach traveling company carried curtains, and u few rolled-up painted scenes, repre- senting a kitchen, a paclor, and u strect or forest. They hung these scenes from copper wires stretched from wall to w. and fastened with screw-e actor's dressing room, or a dressing room for the ladies, they strung up blankets before or behind the curtain, ina corner. They got light by massing andles in many parts of such an uditorium. The good companies made almost as much money as they do now, because the price of admission was high, It was pinch of gold dust, and that was worth 0. The miners offered their bags at the door, and the ticket-takers pinched the dust. A voom might hold 150 to 300 persons, and there wus suf- ficient money in the business to tempt the best talent. Mr. Barrett and Mr. Jefferson, Miss ISytinge and Lotta, have all played in such camps. If a pe former, particularly a lady, pleased the crowds, they threw slugs and nuggets of gold and coins upon the stage. Singers who could *‘touch the heart” were in great demand, and a certain Maggic Moore coined money on this account. i Sy BRYAN CALLED DOWN. ing A Minncsota Congressman on History A Minnesota congressman vindicated the truth of history and delivered th model peroration of the great silver de- bate, says tho Globe-Democrat. His name is Osce M. Hall and he represent; the Red Wing district. It took only five lines in the congressional directory to print Mr. Ha'l's .nodest autobiography. "I listened,” said Mr. Hall as he con- cluded his speech, “to the eloguent gentleman from Nebraska (Mr. Bryan) as hie told us the enchanting story of the drummer boy of Marengo. Pardon me if T inclose his charming picture in the rude frame of my remarks. “Mr. Bryan said: Muehlbach relates an incident_in the life of the great military hero of France, At Marengo the Man of Destiny, sad and dis- heavtened, thouzht the battie lost. He called to a drammer b 1 ordered him to beat a ret The lad replied: “Sire, 1 do not know how. Dessaix has taught me retreat, but 1 ean beat a e 1 beat that charge at the bridze of Lodi beat it at Mount Tabor;1 beat it at tho ramds. Oh. way I beat it here!” The rge was ordered, the bautle won ana Marengo was added to the victories of Navoleon. - Ob, let our gallant leader draw iuspiration from the street gumin of Paris. “1 do not know, sir, that historical accuracy isat all essential toa free inage speech, but as a student of corvect history I deeply regret that my friend should have torn from the gallant Dessaix the laurels he won at Marengo and plastered them over the cropped head of a Parisian gamin. [Laughtor.] “I am sure my friend is mistaken both as to the time and place of the incident to which he refers. If memory fails me not, it was upon another field and on that dread, eventful day in June, 181 that the historic drummer boy was sum> moned into the war councilsof the great emperor. “All day long Napoleon had hurled his veteran forces against the British guavds upon Mount St. Jeun; the grena- diers, hardened by Moscow's tetrors, had been driven back in irreparable dis- order; the steel-clad cuirassiers who de- cided the day at Austerlitz had been shattered and crushed in the storm of battle; even the invincible Old Guard, with Ney at its head, had reeled, hesi- tated and fled under the fire of the un- broken squares; far to the east, through the shimmering dust-clouds, came the gray mustaches of old Blucher and his sturdy Prussians. The field of Waterloo was irretrievably lost. The time to r treat had come. The battlo was lost; it was time to save the army. *Then it was that Napoleon drew in- spiration from the street gamin of Paris, [Laughter.] Confident still in his des- tiny and bowitched by the rub-a-dub-dub of the little drummer boy, he ordered the remuant of tho guard to charg. Side by side with Cambronne and sur- rounded by the heroes of a hundred vie- tories, he went in himself, and he camo out, 50 Hugo says, ‘the mighty somnam- bulist of a shattered dream.” [Laugh- alightens fim afterward, on St. Helena's sle, chained like Prometheus to san rock, unwritten history says the great Corsican fought his battles over again, and in tremulous accents left to his faithful Bevtrand the dying in- Junetion, *Put not your trust in drum- mer boys.’ [Laughter and applause. “This country has gone far enough— it has gone too fav—upon the road to Mexico. Threatencd now with financial disaster, it is time to retreat. Let not our great commander heed the rub- dub-dub of the drummer boys of Missou and braska; let him rather listen to the throbbing heart-beat of 4 distressed and indignant people, and lead us back to the security of honest finance, “The battle for the froe coinage of un- limited quantities of silver is irretriey- ably lost. There is yet timo to save ti of Lonest bimetallism.” [Ap- plause.] stormy —_— FRANKLIN'S ELECIRIC LIGHT, Achicvement Antedsted Ovir a tury by the Old Philosopher, The Department of State recently re- ved from B, . Stovens,of the United 9 patch ageney at London, an account of historical electric apparatus once owned by Franklin, which he has vecently nnearthed in that city, Among other things, Mr. Stevens says, he has found that Franklin, during his lust s.- {'nurn in England, made an electric ight, and that he could produce from it with his primitive appliances sufficient electric light to o by. This ante- dates the achievements of Edison by move than 100 years. The lamp is ina good state of presorvation and has re- cently been tested by the owner, & gen- tlemun residing near London, who, ac- cording to the fi; ston Herald, finds that it worls as satisfactorily now as when Franklin himselfl experimented with it. It is a curiosity of great value and im- portance in illustrating the history of electric lighting. It is by no means the arc light or the incandescent lamp of modern times. 1ts principle, howe is that of the ave llght without carbe L»olnw, this device—which was iny y Sir Humphrey Davey in 1813—first Edison's Ce cep- | | demonstrating of electrie the practicability lightingt! The total length of the cflnder, witnin which the light e produced, is about twelve inches gid the diameter three inches. Each endis provided with attachments for connacking it with the positive and negative poles of the ma- chine, which, it should,be rememtered. | was the only means . of, generating e { tricity with which map were then fa- miliar. The elect light this rud but ingenfous dev was produged by | the leaping of the intérdepted carrent from the ball to the metallic point. The | ends of the tube are pattly closed, un- | doubtedly for the same feason that the globes of the are lights ave closed at | present, und the light given off is bril- | liant and stealy. The machine with which Franklin generated the tricity for s movel experimont is turned by a erank, grindstone-like, and was the most powerful and complete in constraction of any electrical machine of that day. This ¢rank turns a ponde ous cylinder of glass, which is rubbe by brushes with silk covers. Th brushes convey the electricity ¢ollc from tho cylinder to the positive and negativ nductors, supported on | glass pil where it can bo used for purposes of experiment. The machine is stanchly built, and is capable of pro- ducing a spark twelve or fifteen inches . While simple in its constraction, it could hardly be improved upon by our wisest electrician: It is especially adapted for the advanced experiments of various kinds which Franklin was engaged with at that period of his life. & NORTHWEST.

The Corvallis Times tells us t heard from, Jesse Brown harvests this year the largest crop of any farmer in that re- gion. He threshed 9.000 bushels of wheat and 2,200 bushels of oats. John Whitaker's crop of 5,300 bushels averaged thirty-three bushels per acre. 1t is the best crop ever raised on the place, and is the result of the continued improvemert of the lund by drain- age and otherwise, steadily persisted in by Mr. Whitaker. United States Circuit Judge Gilbert ren- dered a decision in the case of the United States azainst the Oregon and California Iroad company adverse to the railrond company.

As areturn for her kindness cided to make a gift of a valuable horse to her father, Big Thunder, knowing that nothing he could give them would be 50 much appreciated. But conversation between him and Big Thunder was limited to How,” when they met each other, so he was at a 1oss as 10 a way to explain to the old chief his reasons for presenting him with his horse. He finally decided to fasten the animal to the stake of Big Thunder’s tecpee withoutany explanu- tion at all and go back to his post by the ambulance that morning. Nobody had ever told him of the Sioux custom of proposing for marriuge by the offer of ponies, 0 that he did not know that when the old chief took hus thoroughbrea he considered it an exchange for his daughter's hand. The engagement was avnounced at once throughout the village and in many neighboring villages. The result was that in a veey short while a vast troop of Indian woinen, in fact, all of Pretiy Voice's female relativ me on and in- vaded the oficer’s quarters to receive the gifts which they expected him, as o matter of course, to bestow upon them. Here was anoth [ndian custom of which the officer had never been in formed. When it was explained to him just what this vuast picnic of squatting Squaws expeeted from bhim he was scarod to death, because he really could not marry Pretty Voice, and yet he could not see exactly how he was going to get out of it, us herrvelatives had taken such b stand and already regarded him as a aridegroom. 'here they sat in silent groups all around his quarters, waiting for him to come out, like Sunta Claus, and give them gifts, and at-that very time he was engaged W marry a Massachusetts givl away in the cast. So flinully he called all the female relatives into "his house and bestowed bead necklaces and other such trinkets upon them, and they left ina body to spread abroad his praises throughout the villuges for miles around. Another thing immediately happenea, and this was & visit from Big Thunder. He had brought his daughter in state, with much Indian finery displayed, 1o call upon the man who was 1o become her husband. The ofllcer was very polite to them, and treated them tosome of his best fire water” and other refreshments: he really owed his life to the Princess Pretty Voice and he wassincerely geate- ful, but he realized more thun befor that he was actually engugea to marry the Indian girl with the full consent of her parents, who were of a warlike and revengefnl race, and he quaked in his boots. he de- e A frog has another safeguard against drying up—that is, a kind of interior sack for storing water. Like the camel, it thus keops a supply which carries it over many a dry place, when iv would otherwise lose all its moisture and die. The water is us pure and tasteless as that of any spring. In Austrulia, it is said, one species of | frog prepaves for a drouth in a wonder- ful'way. Sometimes the traveler suffer= ing from thirvst will come to a bush, and, digging into the ground a foot or two, will find a clay ball. Ho cracks it open and out jumps a frog!
