Freight business has taken another decided slump on the Erie and seven of the big engines recently out of the shop were ordered white-leaded until a revival of business.

PorUand roses are the pride of Oregon and their fame has crystallized in the city itself, being nicknamed “The Rose City.” Here they have roses climbing to the roofs of the houses and even plant them by the roadside.

To Mr. Holman is due, also, the credit of introducing the rose as a feature to the city of Portland.

These have always proved popular, and the townsmen along the line will be glad to hear that they are to be a feature of the road’s passenger service during the summer.

A HAPPY WEDDING Krueckenberg-Steele Wedding One of the Happy Events of Spring. AT EMANUEL CHURCH Rev. Bauer Solemnized the Wedding—Supper Served at Home of Bride.

The bride, a young lady of pleasing personality, was charmingly gowned in a dress of creamy silk down, and carried a bouquet of roses twined with smilax.

The home was in gala attire for the occasion, the handsome decorations carrying out the color schemes of blue and white. The guests remained during the evening, which was spent in a most enjoyable way, and at midnight, a tempting lunch was served. The bride and groom received many fine presents, and were sped on their future life with a shower of good wishes. The bride is one of Adams county's most charming daughters, while the groom is an estimable young man of Van Wert county, Ohio.

A M«an Thrust. "Ten thousand dollars for a dog!” he exclaimed as be looked up from bls newspaper. "Do you believe any one ever paid any such price, Marla?” “I'm sure I don’t know. James.” she returned without stopping her needlework even for a moment. "Does the paper say that much was paid?” "Yes. There's an article on valuable dogs, and It's speaking of one tbat was sold for 810,000. 1 don’t believe it.” "It mny be true, James,” she said quietly. "Some of those high bred animals bring fancy prices, and there's no particular reason why the paper should lie about it." "I know that, Marla, but just think of it, just try to grasp the magnitude of that sum in your weak feminine mind. You don't seem to realize it—--810,000 for a dog! Why, hang it, Maria, that’s more than I’m worth!” “I know that, James, but some are worth more than others.” She went on calmly with her sewing, while he fumed and spluttered for a moment and then dropped the subject, especially the weak feminine part of it Quick Time Music. A music teacher in Chicago was recently approached by a lady from the interior who confided to him her intention of taking piano lessons and inquired as to terms, etc. These proving satisfactory, she went on to explain that she was desirous of accomplishing a rapid course. The professor assured her that she might learn a great deal in twenty lessons. “Good,” said the woman. “I’ve got only a limited time in Chicago, so I must contrive to get the twenty lessons into that." "How long are you to be here?” she was asked. “Three weeks.” “Twenty lessons in three weeks!” exclaimed the astonished teacher. “You could never do that!” “Oh, yes, I could!" returned the woman. “Couldn’t I, Marie?” turning to a friend for support. “I could take two lessons a day, or perhaps I could take the whole at once. Twenty lessons, one after another, would only take ten hours.” — St. Paul Pioneer Press. Face of the Typical New Yorker. London is a friendless city enough, heaven knows, to those who are not able to conquer, but she seems to me mild, benignant even, in comparison with New York. The face of the Londoner is very often overcast with the thought of how to get a living in the keen competition of the people in that mighty capital, but the London face is tranquillity embodied in comparison with the face of the typical New Yorker. Keen, hatchet shaped, anxious, absorbed—such is the face you see everywhere around you. And this keenness of face is accompanied by a terrible spirit of self absorption. You seldom see people talk much while they are traveling in the elevated railway or in the subway, as they call the underground train there.—T. P. O’Connor in London M. A. P. Napoleon’s Temper. A story is told of a sudden rage Into which Napoleon I. fell one day as he was at dinner. He had scarcely partaken of a mouthful when apparently some inopportune thought or recollection stung his brain to madness, and, receding from the table without rising from his chair—his small stature permitted that—he uplifted his foot—dash went the table, crash went the dinner, and the emperor sprang up, intending to pace the room. Quick as a flash his waiter scratched a few magic symbols on a bit of paper, and the emperor’s check had grown more than double. Napoleon appreciated the delicacy of tis attendant and said, “Thank you. my dear Dunand,” with one of his inimitable smiles. The hurricane bad blown over.
