The cliffs alo: the edge of the ocedh are exalted, precipitous, rough and beetling. In many places huge ” rocks torn from those awful -battlements lie in the .sea below, and against these the ever-recurring and crawling canyons of the vasty deep dash and are brokén one after another, and the baffled waters seethe and foam and roar as if in furious anger. Then the spent waters crawl among the notches, and niches, and ragged seams, and granitelipped gaps, bebind the seceded masses of black stone. They swish and wash, here and there, in, the crevices and caverns, then run quicklyout, seaward again, as if in anxious and hurried effort to join the volume of receding surf, ready to return, with another charge of ‘the futile, but mighty force, of ocean’s green and whelming mass. About these rocks great flocks of sea birds circle, flap and scream, and along their sides ocean lions, sleek and homely, én squirming herds; clamer with their prey of fish, and there they] feast and fight, roaring and bellowing the while, in appalling din and reboation. On the land the primeval forests of hemlock, spruce and pine stand as heavy, somber, deep and. mysterious asif the foot of man had never trod, the ground upon which they grow. Here, indeed, the solitude is unutterable, and all nature is as mild, dreary—and—uninviting—save-to those who love her in her most awful moods—as where * The wolf's long howl is heard, On Oonaiaska’s lonely shore.” BS ane + The-streams in this region are full of big and saucy trout, and game, great and snufah, is abundant in the woods. . This is why’ myself anda companioi Were down thée, in that southern extremity of Tillamook, for a time last summer. ‘ : One day while we were exploring the deep woods, about’ three miles from the ocean and six miles below a settlement on the" Nestucca bay, we suddenly came upon a diminutive log cabin. -A. patch of ground. near by shad beep cleared, and around the patch had been built a rude fence of logs, stumps, brush and whatever other material fit for the purpose could be found athand. Big melons, garden truck, a@ roasting-ear patch and some annual flowers were growing luxuriantly on the cleared ground, and the fence had been built to kéep deer and other animals of the forest—as well. as a. cow which conten. platively chewed her cud as she gazed longingly into the patch—from destroying the vegetation inclosed. The discovery was more or less astonishing, and we started at once for the cabin intent upon ascertaining, if possible, who had come so far from the haunts of men, three residents, and from 1590 to 2000 visitors are here now. This is a popudar resort for.Nevada county people.

We were quickly rewarded, for the bark } of an aged dog -brought a tall, grizzled and bent old man to the door, and he had to bend some more to come through the entrance of his habitation. “a ‘Hello! Good-day,’’ he said, in a pleasant tone. ‘Glad to see you if you are friendly,” he continued, and when we assured him as to why we happened ‘to be there, he asked us to také seats on a bench outside, remarking that just then it was more comfortable outside the cabin than in, as it was washday with bim and he had been doing his semi-annual laundrying in-doors. ** IT must be exceedingly careful with fire,’’ he said, “in order to prevent a confiagration among the timber, which would add un‘ comfortable additional warmth to the immediate Vicinity, so I never build fires outdoors at this season, and that which I have had in the cabin has heated the ‘room uncomfortably. Besides, there is an unpleasant odor of soap—soft soap—good soft soap, too, for_I made it myself.’ We expressed our entire satisfaction with the situation and declared 'that his explanations were all unnecessary, whereat he seemed gratified and fell to talking with much vivacity on all sorts of subjects sugI gn an Omen! me Py A a seer spac . a THE POET-HERMIT. -» He taiked well, too;) used good English, with a touch of Western dialect, and his conversation was gested by the situation. spiced with great good-humor and besprinkled with salt of the Attic variety. It was evident that he was a very extraordinary man to be thus living here, and more extraordinary for that very paradoxical reason. Somehow I felt from the first that I knew thé mah, and froma peculiar twinkte of-his eye, as he led me on gradually to talk about people and places known well to me, I felt that he knew who 1 was. ‘ “4 He informed us during the conversation that he had been living alone in his cabin, which he had built himself, for nearly three years, and that his only companions were his old dog and a cow and acaltf. Once in perhdps a month, on an average, he went to the post-office at Neskowin, a very small hamlet, ten or twelve miles away, where he got some newspapers and magazines, which he subscribed for, and at . the one little store in the village such other articles as he might need. Finally my curiosity and Bohemian au. dacity got the better of politeness and I asked him who he was. He replied: “My name is 8am Smith afid1I know you quite well, though I have. not seen you fo’ many years.”’ Bren m Like a flash his name brought his entire identity back, though he has grown very gray, ha¢a long beard and looks very much older than he is, though I should think he is oyer sixty in reality. ve “And who is Sam Smith?’ perhaps the gentle reader on the eastern ge Pd — Rockies, is =Aavine, ~~ sere psig phasis of this interrogation. ; Samuel W. Smith is a poet and dramatist of no littie success. He is the author of a . -play which thousands have seen through. out the world, where the English language . is spoken by many people, and which has made a great fortune for those pleasant “The Blue and Gray,” a drama much used a few years ago among amateurs with a professional leader, in the same way that “The Color Guard” and other such plays are worked. 4 He also wrote *'Tom Bell,” a very successful California melodrama of a tew years ago, and be is-the duthor of “Fonda, the .

He was‘also the author of the remarkably popular song on the coast in these times: ~-_'*The days of old, the. days of gold, @ The days of forty-nine.” 2 * Smith called the play, alluded to, ‘The Piains,’’ and it was an excellent piece af work of its kind then. What the dramatic art of Crawford & Co. may have done for it since deponent saith not. ss + Smith came to California in the gold-digging times, and in 1861 joined the Union army as a private soldier, and rose to the rank of Captain. His command served altogether on the Pacific coast among the Indians of Washington Territory, .Oregon, California and Arizona. When I asked him how he came to write “Struck Oil,” he said: . «s i 1 went to Frisco in °73-and’was slain, financially, in Flood’s stock deal. Then I needed a hundred dollars, or any other amount. An actor (without giving his name, & name ‘that will occur to the profession throughout the United States when it is said he is one of the best drawing stars on the stage and yet one of the most homeopathic-souled men on earth) left. word with John Woodard that he wanted a “piece”. with a Sing-song Ditéhman in it, “and would pay well for it. I wrote what } thought would answer and when the actor came around presented it for inspection. He flashed the light of a three thousand dol: lar solitaire on me and said: ‘ “It won’t doasitis, but since you’ve wrote it (that’s his style of grammar) Ill take # Kast tomy author, Fred Maeder, and if he cab do any thing with it I'll give you some. thing-for it,” ' i s Casually I remarked; “Blast your au thor,” or words to that effect, and departed with my manuscript. seed Next day I watched at the entrance of the California Theater for J. C. Williamson, the low comedian there. I didn’t know him personally, but knew him by sight, so button-holed him when he came out. I got him into a safe place and read that piece to him and it made his eyes stick out. He gave me @ hundred on the spot and said if I ‘ever got hard up tolet him know. He made a fort une by it, and once in awhile he advertises and finds out where I am, and sends mea few hundred. teAfterhe had made a. success of it the original actor came back tothe coast and hunted meup, and this conversation ensued: %<« al bent “That piece ‘Struck Oil’ you originally wrote for me, didn’t you?” ia “Yes, but you refused it.” “as ' «you only got a little $100 for it from Williamson. Ill give you $250 if you'll sign @ paper stating that you wrote it for me.’’ “You haven’t got money enough to get me ‘o sign any such paper.”’ a : *Tilmake you.’’* You can go to——."" 4 “Ingersoll says there is no such place.” We talked thus with Smith along time, and as the shadows began to grow long, we bade him ‘‘good-bye.”’ Lately he has sent me for inspection a pastoral, which is brilliant and original, and whichere long will be published in book form, and it will astonish the literary world, so able is this hermitpoet in the forests of Tillamook. Wuz L. Visscurr, VEN GONDOLIERS. Not Quite as Picturesque as Painted by Sentimental Tourists. It is with grief that I remind my untraveled reader that ,in»-Venice the gondola is thecab. Isthe cabmat a poetic object—a person to whom you would indite lyrics or elegies? I trow not. But, on the other hand, the gondolier, unlike the London cabman, has his redeeming qualities. He is picturesque. He used to be moreso in the days when he wore red silk stockings and @ blue silk jacket, and when the boat he propelled was as gay a thing as himself. He is also very amenable to civility. He will quarrel with the portly Briton who speaks no language but English, and after a row tenders in payment a sum of money he deems unworthy of him, though it be in excess of the tariff. But the quarrel will be-all on his side, and it will soon dissolve away into resonant . taughter-as-he invites-his—eepper-colored comrades to share the spectacle ‘ef thé Briton walking off as if he heard not a word of his plea. The cabman, in such a case, would of _ course proceed to maledictions, and perhaps go _ further atill Indeed, when all is said, the gondolier is not a bad fellow, though, like the pigeons, somewhat spoiled by being photographed in his boat. by enterprising amateurs a hundred ,times inthe year. But in spring, notwithstanding the romance of them, one is not strongly attracted toward gondola or gondolier. When a “bora” is tlowing upon the city from the mountains behind Trieste, and all the lagoon lis under a blue-gray haze, chilly and hick, one is prone to think of fires, not aquatic expeditions. And many 'a martyred paterfamilias and his . wife, who, at their eldest daughter's bidding, have ‘inelegantly wriggled into the boat, and, aided by the smiling, compassionate oarsman, judiciously dispersed their offspring about the remaining space thereof, are as eager to leave as they were unwilling to enter it. If they can be induced to make another such excursion, they take wool for their ears and enough wraps for 4 regiment—reckless of the daughter's indignant demur about “how it will look.” A playful form of compliment whichthe -gondoliers bandy about when they are displeased with each other brings me to another characterlistic.of Venice. If, in conveying his ‘party through the ‘‘canaletti,’’ the oarsman clashes witha boat coming in he contrary direction, he will proba‘bly call his enemy ‘‘the son of & dog, Sam Smith wrote the play for John Wood. 4 You can test it before buying by getting a trial bottle free, largg size $1.

Living Alone in the Wilds of Oregon—Something About His Life and Habits. a HE neighborhood of w Gy Be Nestucca bay, an \ arm of the Pacific \ N Ocean, on the Ore: L gon coast, is a wild and rugged. region. The cliffs alo: the edge of the ocedh are exalted, precipitous, rough and beetling. In many places huge ” rocks torn from those awful -battlements lie in the .sea below, and against these the ever-recurring and crawling canyons of the vasty deep dash and are brokén one after another, and the baffled waters seethe and foam and roar as if in furious anger. Then the spent waters crawl among the notches, and niches, and ragged seams, and granitelipped gaps, bebind the seceded masses of black stone. They swish and wash, here and there, in, the crevices and caverns, then run quicklyout, seaward again, as if in anxious and hurried effort to join the volume of receding surf, ready to return, with another charge of ‘the futile, but mighty force, of ocean’s green and whelming mass. About these rocks great flocks of sea birds circle, flap and scream, and along their sides ocean lions, sleek and homely, én squirming herds; clamer with their prey of fish, and there they] feast and fight, roaring and bellowing the while, in appalling din and reboation. On the land the primeval forests of hemlock, spruce and pine stand as heavy, somber, deep and. mysterious asif the foot of man had never trod, the ground upon which they grow. Here, indeed, the solitude is unutterable, and all nature is as mild, dreary—and—uninviting—save-to those who love her in her most awful moods—as where * The wolf's long howl is heard, On Oonaiaska’s lonely shore.” BS ane + The-streams in this region are full of big and saucy trout, and game, great and snufah, is abundant in the woods. . This is why’ myself anda companioi Were down thée, in that southern extremity of Tillamook, for a time last summer. ‘ : One day while we were exploring the deep woods, about’ three miles from the ocean and six miles below a settlement on the" Nestucca bay, we suddenly came upon a diminutive log cabin. -A. patch of ground. near by shad beep cleared, and around the patch had been built a rude fence of logs, stumps, brush and whatever other material fit for the purpose could be found athand. Big melons, garden truck, a@ roasting-ear patch and some annual flowers were growing luxuriantly on the cleared ground, and the fence had been built to kéep deer and other animals of the forest—as well. as a. cow which conten. platively chewed her cud as she gazed longingly into the patch—from destroying the vegetation inclosed. The discovery was more or less astonishing, and we started at once for the cabin intent upon ascertaining, if possible, who had come so far from the haunts of men, three residents, and from 1590 to 2000 visitors are here now. This is a popudar resort for.Nevada county people.

We were quickly rewarded, for the bark } of an aged dog -brought a tall, grizzled and bent old man to the door, and he had to bend some more to come through the entrance of his habitation. “a ‘Hello! Good-day,’’ he said, in a pleasant tone. ‘Glad to see you if you are friendly,” he continued, and when we assured him as to why we happened ‘to be there, he asked us to také seats on a bench outside, remarking that just then it was more comfortable outside the cabin than in, as it was washday with bim and he had been doing his semi-annual laundrying in-doors. ** IT must be exceedingly careful with fire,’’ he said, “in order to prevent a confiagration among the timber, which would add un‘ comfortable additional warmth to the immediate Vicinity, so I never build fires outdoors at this season, and that which I have had in the cabin has heated the ‘room uncomfortably. Besides, there is an unpleasant odor of soap—soft soap—good soft soap, too, for_I made it myself.’ We expressed our entire satisfaction with the situation and declared 'that his explanations were all unnecessary, whereat he seemed gratified and fell to talking with much vivacity on all sorts of subjects sugI gn an Omen! me Py A a seer spac . a THE POET-HERMIT. -» He taiked well, too;) used good English, with a touch of Western dialect, and his conversation was gested by the situation. spiced with great good-humor and besprinkled with salt of the Attic variety. It was evident that he was a very extraordinary man to be thus living here, and more extraordinary for that very paradoxical reason. Somehow I felt from the first that I knew thé mah, and froma peculiar twinkte of-his eye, as he led me on gradually to talk about people and places known well to me, I felt that he knew who 1 was. ‘ “4 He informed us during the conversation that he had been living alone in his cabin, which he had built himself, for nearly three years, and that his only companions were his old dog and a cow and acaltf. Once in perhdps a month, on an average, he went to the post-office at Neskowin, a very small hamlet, ten or twelve miles away, where he got some newspapers and magazines, which he subscribed for, and at . the one little store in the village such other articles as he might need. Finally my curiosity and Bohemian au. dacity got the better of politeness and I asked him who he was. He replied: “My name is 8am Smith afid1I know you quite well, though I have. not seen you fo’ many years.”’ Bren m Like a flash his name brought his entire identity back, though he has grown very gray, ha¢a long beard and looks very much older than he is, though I should think he is oyer sixty in reality. ve “And who is Sam Smith?’ perhaps the gentle reader on the eastern ge Pd — Rockies, is =Aavine, ~~ sere psig phasis of this interrogation. ; Samuel W.

He was‘also the author of the remarkably popular song on the coast in these times: ~-_'*The days of old, the. days of gold, @ The days of forty-nine.” 2 * Smith called the play, alluded to, ‘The Piains,’’ and it was an excellent piece af work of its kind then. What the dramatic art of Crawford & Co. may have done for it since deponent saith not. ss + Smith came to California in the gold-digging times, and in 1861 joined the Union army as a private soldier, and rose to the rank of Captain. His command served altogether on the Pacific coast among the Indians of Washington Territory, .Oregon, California and Arizona. When I asked him how he came to write “Struck Oil,” he said: . «s i 1 went to Frisco in °73-and’was slain, financially, in Flood’s stock deal. Then I needed a hundred dollars, or any other amount. An actor (without giving his name, & name ‘that will occur to the profession throughout the United States when it is said he is one of the best drawing stars on the stage and yet one of the most homeopathic-souled men on earth) left. word with John Woodard that he wanted a “piece”. with a Sing-song Ditéhman in it, “and would pay well for it. I wrote what } thought would answer and when the actor came around presented it for inspection. He flashed the light of a three thousand dol: lar solitaire on me and said: ‘ “It won’t doasitis, but since you’ve wrote it (that’s his style of grammar) Ill take # Kast tomy author, Fred Maeder, and if he cab do any thing with it I'll give you some. thing-for it,” ' i s Casually I remarked; “Blast your au thor,” or words to that effect, and departed with my manuscript. seed Next day I watched at the entrance of the California Theater for J. C. Williamson, the low comedian there. I didn’t know him personally, but knew him by sight, so button-holed him when he came out. I got him into a safe place and read that piece to him and it made his eyes stick out. He gave me @ hundred on the spot and said if I ‘ever got hard up tolet him know. He made a fort une by it, and once in awhile he advertises and finds out where I am, and sends mea few hundred. teAfterhe had made a. success of it the original actor came back tothe coast and hunted meup, and this conversation ensued: %<« al bent “That piece ‘Struck Oil’ you originally wrote for me, didn’t you?” ia “Yes, but you refused it.” “as ' «you only got a little $100 for it from Williamson. Ill give you $250 if you'll sign @ paper stating that you wrote it for me.’’ “You haven’t got money enough to get me ‘o sign any such paper.”’ a : *Tilmake you.’’* You can go to——."" 4 “Ingersoll says there is no such place.” We talked thus with Smith along time, and as the shadows began to grow long, we bade him ‘‘good-bye.”’ Lately he has sent me for inspection a pastoral, which is brilliant and original, and whichere long will be published in book form, and it will astonish the literary world, so able is this hermitpoet in the forests of Tillamook. Wuz L. Visscurr, VEN GONDOLIERS. Not Quite as Picturesque as Painted by Sentimental Tourists. It is with grief that I remind my untraveled reader that ,in»-Venice the gondola is thecab. Isthe cabmat a poetic object—a person to whom you would indite lyrics or elegies? I trow not. But, on the other hand, the gondolier, unlike the London cabman, has his redeeming qualities. He is picturesque. He used to be moreso in the days when he wore red silk stockings and @ blue silk jacket, and when the boat he propelled was as gay a thing as himself. He is also very amenable to civility. He will quarrel with the portly Briton who speaks no language but English, and after a row tenders in payment a sum of money he deems unworthy of him, though it be in excess of the tariff. But the quarrel will be-all on his side, and it will soon dissolve away into resonant . taughter-as-he invites-his—eepper-colored comrades to share the spectacle ‘ef thé Briton walking off as if he heard not a word of his plea. The cabman, in such a case, would of _ course proceed to maledictions, and perhaps go _ further atill Indeed, when all is said, the gondolier is not a bad fellow, though, like the pigeons, somewhat spoiled by being photographed in his boat. by enterprising amateurs a hundred ,times inthe year. But in spring, notwithstanding the romance of them, one is not strongly attracted toward gondola or gondolier. When a “bora” is tlowing upon the city from the mountains behind Trieste, and all the lagoon lis under a blue-gray haze, chilly and hick, one is prone to think of fires, not aquatic expeditions. And many 'a martyred paterfamilias and his . wife, who, at their eldest daughter's bidding, have ‘inelegantly wriggled into the boat, and, aided by the smiling, compassionate oarsman, judiciously dispersed their offspring about the remaining space thereof, are as eager to leave as they were unwilling to enter it. If they can be induced to make another such excursion, they take wool for their ears and enough wraps for 4 regiment—reckless of the daughter's indignant demur about “how it will look.” A playful form of compliment whichthe -gondoliers bandy about when they are displeased with each other brings me to another characterlistic.of Venice. If, in conveying his ‘party through the ‘‘canaletti,’’ the oarsman clashes witha boat coming in he contrary direction, he will proba‘bly call his enemy ‘‘the son of & dog, Sam Smith wrote the play for John Wood. 4 You can test it before buying by getting a trial bottle free, largg size $1.
