One of the editors of this paper was assaulted by a drunken Mexican the other day vhile crossing the turbid cur rent of cvent3 which divides tho two republics, but refrained from adopting a policy of retaliation from a bashful hesi tancy of becoming tho subject of inter national controversy and an unwilling ness to deprive tlii section of his bril liant contributions to tho columns of The Guide.

"This is the latest in Boston" said a man to a reporter, in the rotunda of the Grand Pacific, yesterday, and he jieiu up a paruaiiy rouea cigareue between the thumb and forefinger of uis ngiu nana. "What, to manufacture your own smokes?" 'No; brandy cigarettes." "1 441 Urandy cigarettes? 'Yes: they're crreat I've been mildly intoxicated for sir months, and l haven t tasted a dron of liouor. Theso cigarettes furnish all the hilarity I desire. 1 a whiff of smoke and let it out in sec tions between the words, "thev beat drinking all hollow.

"Take a quantity of whatever brand of tobacco you prefer and place it in a jar of brandy. Let it soak for a short time. Pour off the brandy and partially dry the tobacco. Put it in a rubber pouch or anything that will retain tne moisture. Brandy, you know, will burn under any circum stances, and burnt brandy is more in toxicating than the raw material. Kou the cigarette out of the moist tobacco and you have it. Just try one, continued the new kind of drunkard, rolling one of the deceptive littlo pacyiges and handing it to the doubting reporter. As if it were harmless, a match was applied and tho reporter drew in about one yard of smoke, lhat one was enough. In an instant every nerve seemed to be unstrung. Thtf head-crew light and dizzy, while the people in the rotunda sudderilv began to stand on their heads and sit beneath their chairs. The Boston man, with what looked like a demoniacal grin, murmured something about "its being pleasant,' but the reporter went out to cool his brow against a lamppost. Chicago Tribune. Weather ami Common Seuse. It docs not always require that a man should be a propnet to mate a shrewd guess as to what the weather will be some months in advance. Thero are probabilities, we will not say certainties, regarding times and seasons that are obvious to every one who knows the dinerence between storm and calm, heat and cold. We kno'V, for instance, that one extreme is liteiy to ionow anoiuer. ii one winter is extremely cold it is highly probable it will be followed by another correspondingly moderate. An unu sually cold wave, so called, will gen erally be succeeded by a spell of weather of great mildness for the sea son. To a very dry season, or a suc cession of dry seasons, there is sure to succeed a period of weather to make un the uehciency of- rainlall. It any particular spring is cold and wet and late, we may generally expect that the succeeding autumn wiu uo warm ana pleasant, and that winter will be slow , i i i ii :oinmg. n tne entire year suouiu be bad on account of the excessive cold or unseasonable storms, the com pensation may not come till tho next venr. but that it will come in time is as fjure as mat tne sun win continue to rise and set. It is one of the first lav.-s of nature. that rain shall alternate with sunshine, storm with calm and heat with cold, and it is by studying those movements of the elements more closely than the rest of mankind that some pretended weather propnets nave occasionally succeeded in coming tjo;;icwhcre near tho truth in their pre dictions. San Jjrancisco Chronicle. CatcliiDg i:eU by tho Karrel. One of the most novel sights in the r,p: ing of the year, at the rock3of the Vv ilJnmctto falls, is the swarms of rrvratinrr eels. Thcv are friskiness it- sc ii, and snow a jow order ot lnteiii- . " , ...... -.ce. If you put vour hand in the v.-;.tcr over the eels, or spit on it, m- itlv they are gone. But poke a !; down among the snaky things ai.-.I they do not notice it. The sense of si.iell seems to be their main guard ,-uinst danger. Like salmon, they do t: vir level best to dart up the rocks in o:-:u.r to ascend the nvcr, and witn good success. SSays a (isherman : 1 have seen as many as a hundred bn. hcls of eels hanging on the rocks at ono time by tho suckers of their mc;:lhs. They would wiggle and flut ter t uei r tails, and by the momentum LiV.i obtained, letting go with then jump up about six inches higher. I caught about forty barrels last season that I salted and sold to the Columbia fishermen for bait. I picked them off the rocks with a fish hook tied to a polo. I started at the bot- to:;i row of hanging eels, and would t llcjntly pick on barrel after barrel. The upper rows hadn't sense enough to perceive tho enemy. I have caught eel i in tho headwaters of the Santiam. in tho Cascado mountains. Suppose they had swum up from the Willam- " Oregon City Courier. ierilan'a none.

In tUH connectioo it is interesting to note that ail fiiere 13 lert or tho pld charger that parried Sheridan through iifly-three battles 13 now in the muse um on G-overnor's Island, New York.

The I history of Sheridan's charger lias been i wriiien oui ana nantrs near tne mount- ed hide and is signed by Sheridan. It says that in disposition he was spirited, though honest, and would stand the heaviest firing as steadily as the best of Sheridan's well trained men. IIo was as tough as a pino knot, and possessed of a largo amount of equine pride. Winchester was black when in the war, but ago turned his I coat to a dark bay. IIo died in 1879, Detroit Free Press. 'To Treat "Cold. Wear woolen or silk underclothing m a a a aa m . . ? - twooi is ucciaeaiy tne better, as it is porous), strong boots, rubbers always in wet weather. In regard to cold curing, nearly every one nas ins own treatment. A few suggestions, however, may not be amiss. The "nightcap" treatment is often successful. Another efficacious remedy is hot onion gruel, and eat ing a quantity of highly salted food is good, o lycenne, with cream or whisky, will relievo a paroxysm of coughing. Another excellent remedy, on the first symptoms of cold, is to take, on retiring, four grains of Dover's powder and two grams of quinine in pill form. If this is not successful, repeat the dose next night. Failing, the next best thing is to con sult a good physician, remembering an "ounce of prevention."

We had been out walking in the cool or tne day, says a letter about Tolstoi, and we had come upon a squad of 100 navvies wno were employed at the rail way. They were finLshiner their sunner. and were on the point of turning into I i . i i -ii. i i i-i .i i inuir mju uuiil iiuiss, in wnicn iney biepi, ten on each side, on a rude plank plat- lorm, wunout mattresses, witnout even etraw. Count lolstoi promised to send flmm .An-k. l;K A I. 1 very pleased. Honest, kindly looking icnows iney were; not so stalwart as our navvies, but full of pleasant courtesy and frank talk. The visit to their huts naturally led to a discussion upon the social question. "Wo nave forgotten Christ," said the count; "wo will not obey him. And what is the result? There you have 100 men, each earning niiy copecks a uay, witnout even 6traw lo he on at night. How can you and I sleep on mattresses and feather beds when these hardworking men have not even straw? If you were Christian vou could not. What right have you to too much when your brother has not even enough? The next step in Christianity, the very first step, is for those who have wealth and lands to part with all that tney nave, and let it go to tne poor." Iiabbit Coursing. Coursing, while comparatively a new field sport in this locality, is not entirely a present aay importation trom JEng- iana. ror many years it nas oeen a recognized sport in California and west of the Mississippi. On the Pacific coast thero areCa number of coursing clubs using grev hounds against the local lack rabbit. The coursing by the Hempstead club is with fox terriers against the com mon wild rabbit, of tho "cottontail' 6pecies, an animal very destructive to tlie growing crops, ana for the exter mination of wluch the authorities of Australia and kew Zealand have offered large rewards. In the United States, however, the rabbit is protected bv the came laws. ana can only bo tiilea in the states of ; . ew lork and New Jersey between Nov. 1 and Feb. 1. The rabbits are procured either by netting them or with box traps tnac insure tneir non-iniury. Thev are fed and cared for until wanted, and then conveyed to the .coursing ; ground in large boxes. Tlie rabbits used at Hempstead are mostly captured in the neighborhood of Sabylon, with several small lots from New Jersey. New York World. A Political Trick. Mr. Labouchere once made good use or tne Jnsn memDers natrea of Uapt. 0Shea. Mr. Price had appealed despair ingly to Mr. Labouchere to secure the attendance of members hostile to some bill which was to cut up common land on Hayling Island. "Nothing can be easier,' said Mr. Laooucnere, ana he at once sought out Mr. Biggar. "By-the-bye,' said he, with his usual air of engaging onnfidpnee. "do vou know that Cant" O Shea is personally interested in securing the passage of tne Hayling island bulr "inueear saia Mr. uggar. Yes, saia Mr- Labouchere, ,?and perhaps the boys" oay no more, saia Mr. niggar. 'the bhoys will be there." He was not mistaken. The "bhoys" came down in force, and it was not until after the bill was thrown out they discovered that the captain had no more to do with it than , , . 1 T 1 we man m iuo uiooa, vajcago yournau ' A Sucpeiiui llan.
