To Doris.
If. my Doris, I should find,
That yon seem the least Inclined
1 o explore the depths of Mind,
Or of Art,—
Should such fancies ever wake,
I'nderstand, without mistake,
Though our hearts (perhaps)
break
We must part.
I'd as soon your little head
Should be lumbered up with lead,
As with learning, live or dead.
And with brains:
I have really doted less
On its outline, I confess.
Than the charming nothingness
It contains.
Now, suppose by hook or crook
People try to make you look
At some tiresome crabbed hook,
Mind you don't!
If they hint you ought to know-
Sophocles or Cicero,
Bacon. Goethe, or Kousscau,
.Say " 1 won't!"
Do you think the summer rose
Kver cares or ever knows
By what law she buds and blows
On the stem?
If the peaches on the wall
-Must hv gratitation fall,
Do you fancy it at all
Troubles them?
Then, as sun or rain is sent.
And the golden hours arc spent.
He iinaskingly content
As a star:
Yes, be ever of the few
Neither critical nor blue,
But be just the perfect You
That you arc!

EDITOR PATRIOT:
Having seen, since my last com-munication
much] that interest-ed
me, I am tempted to trespass
again, though conscious that I can-not
impart to others one tithe of
that interest which I myself have
fell in beholding.
Journeying from liutte to Fair-haven
by way of Union Pacific road
you leave the former place at 7 A.
M., and reach Pocatcllo at 3 P. M.
Having to change cars at this place,
for :; hours you impatiently await
the arrival of the train which is to
convey you further. Being once
again on the wing you soon pass
over I he American Falls on Snake
River, These are rather cascades
than falls. A bridge 600 feet long
passes over them. Masses of basat-tic
rock are piled one upon another
over whose irregular surface the
waters of the river pitch in beauti-ful
cascades at one point falling
perpendicular to a depth consider-ably
below the waters which at
their side are rushing down a steep
declivity, the rugged irregularities
of the rocks giving an indescrib-abley
wild appearance to the white
foaming waters rushing and tomb-ing
over them. Whatever the
sctnery may now be you see no
more till at the dawn of morning
you find yourself at the' last cross-ing
of Snake River. You have
now passed out of Idaho and are
at Huntingdon, the first point reach-ed
in Oregon. Entering the Grand
Ronde Valley you pass Baker City
and I'nion, which lying in this ex-tensive,
level, grassy valley with
their lieiiutiful shady trees, present
such an attractive appearance as
to force from the tourist as he
passes each one the exclamation,
surely this is a little Kden. But I
am sure that a close inspection of
these places would have revealed
the fa.:t that they too are thickly
dotted with saloons. You may well
paraphrase a well known hymn
which as paraphrased will certain-ly
convey a truth though at the
expense of its poetry and rhyme:
In vain with lavish kindness
The gifls of God are strewn,
Jinn in blindness
Bows down to ruin and gold.
However, this is a digression.
Reaching Colombia river at Urns-at
ilia your course is down itB val-ley.
During a ride of more than
an hour down this valley you look
in vain to sec even one single tree
or bush save the millions of sage
brush which cannot properly be
called a bush. You can see noth-ing
but this though your view often
extends for miles into Oregon on
one side and Washington on the
other. For many miles further you
sec very little that deserves the
name of tree or bush, but you have
views very different from any I had
ever before witnessed. After wend-ing
von way between sand banks
which the winds lave heaped to-gether
in fantastic forms, some-times
1(1 feet deep, you are sur-prised
by tho sudden appearance
of masses of basaltic rock and you
soon find yourself passing along
perpendicular walls often present-ing
as regular an appearance as if
built by man for a purpose. These
all have their perpendicular sides
facing and running parallel with
the road and river. Once only did
I see them running at right angles
with our course. As we proceed
they become higher now overhang-ing
our heads and of course shut-ting
out from view all that lies be-yond,
then lowering so that you can
overlook or coining to an end so
that there is a gap before you reach
a similar wall you see above a
parallel wall whose base is higher
than the top of the nearer one, and
another behind that get higher up
the mountain's side and then an-other
and another till the summit
is reached. Arriving at Dalles you
rest for the night and at 7 o'clock
next morning take a steamer for
Portland. Twelve miles below Dal-les
Chinook Island is passed the
burial ground of tho Chinook In-dians
At his own request the body
of Victor Trevet, the devoted friend
of these Indians, was conveyed from
distance on each side. The deep
green of the pine only seems much
more so by being mingled with the
various tints presented by the great
variety of other growth. All to-gether
present a variety as pleasing
and beautiful as that afforded by
our own beloved forests in autumn.
This otrikingfeontrast to the bar-ren
views of the last hundred miles
of yesterday's journey reconciles
you in part to the fact that much
of the time you are shut off from
the river view. This ride of six
miles past, you again enter a steam-er
to renew your journey down this
broad expanse of water now calmly
flowing towards the Pacific. But
though the river itself is now se-rene,
as though it had never been
agitated by rapids, you are| not
yet done with the huge boulders
rising out of its waters, and the
towering cliffs on its banks. Nota-bly
among these are Castle Bock
rising a thousand feet from the
water's edge. Rooster Rock tower-ing
high amid stream and Cape
Horn near by at your side 500 feet
high. At the foot of this last is a
rock perhaps a hundred feet high
or higher whose shape is like that
of a Carolina hay stack. Its form
is as regular and symmetrical as
the vast skillful builder could make
it, carrying out this symmetry till
it comes to a sharp rounded point
at tiie top. Following the down-ward
course of the river you first
get a view of one snowy mountain
peak and then another till at the
mouth of the Wilamette your eye
rests upon the snow capped peaks
of Hood, Adams, St. Helens and
Ranier, the first named being west
and the other three east of Colom-bia,
the last named far away in the
distance. As you now proceed up
the Wilamette you stand on deck
and gaze at these snowy peaks
which seem to reach the sky, with
a mingled feeling of awe, admira-tion
and delight, which can never
be effaced from the memory, until
memory itself is lost in uncon-sciousness.
It seems that this
country must once have been the
scene of most terrible and inde-scribable
convulsions, how far back
in the ages of the past no one knows.
Their history will never be written.

The Old Veterans are Passing Over
The River.
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 15.—Gen.
Lee's death occurred at 1:30 this
afternoon surrounded by the imme-diate
family, Mrs. Lee, hie two
sons, Robert and Boiling, Miss Mil-dred
Lee, the physicians and fam-ily
servants.
Doctors pronounced his illness
valvular diseases of the heart, from
which he has suffered for several
years. General Lee had been un-conscious
for a day or two.
The funeral arrangements have
not yet been completed. It is be-lieved
that Lexington will be se-lected
as the place of burial.
Major General William Henry
Fitzhugh Lee, second son of Gen-eral
Robert R. Lee, was born at Ar-lington,
Va., the 31st of May, 1837.
He graduated at Harvard in 1857,
and in the same year was appoint-ed
second lieutenant in the Sixth
infantry, United States army, and
served in the Utah campaign of
General Albert Sidney Johnston,
and afterward in California. Early
in 1859 he resigned his commission
and took charge of his farm, the
historic While House on the Pa-munkey.
In the spring of 1861 he
raised a cavalry company for the
Confederate service, was made
captain and was soon promoted ma-jor
and made chief of cavalry to
General Loring in the West Vir-ginia
campaign. In the winter of
1861-'62 he was ordered to Freder-icksburg
and was made lieutenant
colonel. In the spring of 1862 he
was made colonel and not long
afterward was attached to the bri-gade
of General J. E. B. Stuart,. in
most of whose campaigns he parti-cipated.
On the 3rd of October,
1802, he was made brigadier gen-eral
to date from September 15. At
Brandy Station June 9, 1863, he
was severely wounded and was
afterwards captured by a raiding
party and carried to Fort Monroe,
where he was held for some time as
a hostage. In the early spring of
1863 he was exchanged, and on the
23 of April was promoted major
general of cavalry and led his di-vision
in the fights from the Rapi-daii
to Appomatox, where he sur-rendered.
He soon went to work at
the White House, rebuilding the
dwelling, and became a farmer.
For some years he was president of
the Virginia Agrioultirral Society.
In 1875 he was elected to the state
senate, and in 1886 to congress.
He served in the last congress and
is a member-elect 10 the the next
congress.
General Lee was married twice.
His first wife was a daughter of
the late General W. C. Wickham.
His second wife, who survives him",
was Miss Tabb Boiling, daughter of
Mr. Robert Boiling of Petersburg.
Arabians. It is conspicuous in
Biblical lore, being mentioned over
300 times in the Scriptures, either
alone or compounded with other
words. It seems a favorite numer-al
with the divine mind, outside as
well as inside the Bible, as nature
demonstrates in many ways, and all
other numbers bow to it. There is
also another divine favorite, the
number 3—the Trinity. This is
brought out by combination of fig-ures
that is somewhat remarkable.
It is the six figures 142,857.
"Multiply this by 2, the answer
is 286,714.
"Multiply this by 3, the answer
is 428,571.
"Multiply this by 4, the answer
is 671,428.
"Multiply this by 5, the answer
is 714,285.
"Multiply this by 6, the answer
is 857,153.
"Each answer contains the same
figures as the original sum and no
others, and that three of the figures
of the sum remain together in each
answer, thus showing that figures
preserve the Trinity.
"Thus 285 appears in the first
and second numbers, 571 in the
second and third, 428 in the third
and fourth and 142 in the fourth
and fifth.
"It is also interesting to note
that, taking out of any two of these
sums the group of three common
to both, the other three, read in the
usual order from left to right, will
also be in the same order in both
sums.
"Take the first and second sums,
for example. ' The group 285 is
common to both. Having read 385
out of the second sum, read right
along and bring in the first figure
of the thousands last. It will read
714. All the others will read in the
same way.
"Again, note that the two groups
of three in the first sum are the
same as the two groups of threes in
the fourth, reversed in order, and
that the same thing is true of the
second and third. The last multi-plication
has its groups of threes
the same as those of the original
number, reversed again.
"Examine these results again,
and you will see that in these cal-culations
all the numerals have ap-peared
save the 9. Now multiply
the original sum by the mighty 7—
the divine favorite of the Bible and
of creation—and behold the an-swer
! The last of the numerals,
and that one only in groups of
three—the Trinity !

The Mustard Plaster and the Drum-mer.
Mr. and Mrs. Whifien were on
their way to the Hot Springs, where
Mr. W. intended to get relief for
his rheumatism in the baths. At
u way station a drunken traveling
man boarded the train and was put
to bed in the berth next to Mr. and
Mrs. W. by the porter. Shortly
after, Mr. W. woke up with a dread-ful
stitch in the side. Like a good,
dutiful wife, Mrs. W. arose and
went to the lavatory to make a
strong, extra strong, mustard plas-ter
with which to relieve the pain
of ber liege lord.
On her return she pulled the
wrong curtain aside and placed
the plaster upon the stomach of
the senseless, drunken drummer.
Then she went to the lavatory,
washed her hands and returned to
her berth, getting into the right
section and finding Mr. W. asleep.
Finally a loud groan was heard,
and these words: "Oh, my stom-ach,
my s-t-o m-a-c-h, oh-h-h !"
This was followed by "I'll never
touch another drop as long as I
live. Ob, it's burning a hole in
me; oh-h-h!"
By this time heads were peeping
out from behind curtains and the
porter was on his way to the trav-eling
man's berth. f3f a sudden
out came the bed clothes from the
T. M.'s berth, and a cry of "Oh,
my, there's my stomach! I'm
dead !" The exclamation was top-ped
off by the mustard plaster be-ing
thrown out on the aisle of the
c»r. The porter then grabbed the
drummer and shook him until he
awoke. During the first stages of
sensibility be muttered: "Oh, my
stomach is gone!"—St. Paul Pio-neer

The Grounds for Contesting the Will
of the Widow of President Polk.
A homesick traveler in Europe
writes home to the dearest member
of the family: "You are better
than all Europe. You are my Alp,
you are my Cologne Cathedral!"
This is a reminder of the Boston
woman who wrote home that she
would give more for the view of
her own back-yard than all the
views in Florence.—Boston Tran-script.
NASIIVII.I.E, Oct. 13.—When the
will of Mrs. Polk, widow of Presi-dent
James K. Polk, was admitted
to probate recently it was found
that Mrs. Polk had left the Polk
place to Mrs. G. W. Fall, her niece,
who has resided with Mrs. Polk, at
the Polk place, for many years.
It was soon understood that the
will would be contested, and the
expected struggle to retain posses-sion
of the Polk place on the part
of Mrs. Fall, and the determina-tion
on the part of the consan-guinous
heirs of President Polk,
was begun today by the filing of a
bill in the chancery court at Nash-ville
by the Polk heirs through
their attorney.
The bill recites at length the
provisions of President Polk's will
and the will left by his widow, Mrs.
Sarah Polk, and gives the names
and locations of between forty and
fifty heirs of the property.
The bill declares Mrs] Fall re
fuses to leave the premises, and
the complainants ask that a receiver
be appointed who shall take pos-session
of the place and collect |
rents, pay taxes and take cure of the
property on the ground that (;. W.
Fall is insolvent, and rents cannot
be collected from his wife.
The bill states tlyjit Mrs. Fall's
claim to the property is based upon
the residuary clause of the will of
the dead president, by which, in
case his will does not go into oper-ation,
Mrs. Polk would come into
possession, and, as Mrs. I'olk left
everything to Mrs. Fall, the de-fendants
claim that she is the
rightful heir to the Polk place.
This will form the basis of the
contest in the suit which, owing to
the prominence of the parties in-terested,
will agitate the social sur-face.
Two Smart Alecks.
There was a confusing spectacle
at the market house this morning.
A little girl walked in and wanted
10 cents worth of pork. Two meat
dealers hurried around in theifjl
stalls at the same time. Two pieceil
of pork were whacked off simulta-1
neously. They were offered to her j
immediately and forthwithlv. There
she stood, between the two pieces
of pork which the market men
were poking at her. The ileleniuia
was in good fashion, with the girl.
She got out of it, by taking both
pieces, giving one the ten cents,
and walking out, leaving one man
with the money, and the other star-ing
after his departing meat. We
say both sold—one got the money:
the other didn't—and he was worst
sold.—Durham SUH.

PUNGENT HITS
By Sam Jone3 at Wilmington, Re-ported
by the Star.
The difference between a dead
man and a dead church member is,
you can bury a dead man and
plant flowers on his grave and he'll
lie still; but a dead church mem-ber
can kick like a steer!
There is not a difficulty in this
town that has lived twenty-four
hours that has not been kept alive
by somebody's talking.
How can a church member keep
straight when he is winding in and
out in the church, keeping feuds
alive?
"Of all the things a church was
ever cursed with, one of the worst
is internal feuds and dissensions,
and the preacher's mouths are
locked. If he says anything, some-body
will say he "tuck sides."
My experience in the matter of
baptism Is, it's not how much wa-ter
you put on a fellow, but the
kind of fellow you put it on ! I've
sprinkled some that turned out a
heap better than some I dipped
clear under.
If my watch don't keep time it
isn't worth any more than an oys-ter
shell in my pocket, and if.a
man don't keep time religiously he's
worth no more than an oyster shell
in the church.
If all tho preachers in town were
in the pulpit we'd get along better.
There ain't a fellow down town but
what is preaching. I'll tell you
what I think about it. A black-smith

Demoralizing.
We find the following interesting
story in an exchange:
A divorce suit of a most sensa-tional
nature has been filed in the
Circuit court of Fountain county,
at t'ovington, Ind. After three
months of wedded life Nettie Pettit
askstO be divorced from her hus-band,
Milton Pettit, who is one of
the wealthiest men in the county.
He promised her every luxury
when they were married, but as
soon as the knot was tied took her
