I re member once we sent a young man to Massachusetts, where he was well ac quainted, with orders to collect one hundred young women and escort them back to Oregon. We guaranteed every one of them one year's employment. Ihe active man in the matter was a fine looking young man, who afterwards served two terms in congress from our state. He spent two months in selecting the party and started west with them. On the trip out he courted one of the school teachers on his own hook, and actually got her consent to a marriage on the arrival of the train at Portland.

Manchester correspondent tells me of one. of the latest developments of the servants' craze for imitating their mistresses, which occurred recently. "It was," she says, "the 'night out' of the cook of a friend of mine. The front doorbell rang, and, hearing the housemaid having a somewhat angry colloquy at the door, the lady went herself to see what it was about. She met the maid with a calling card in her hands, and on asking who had been at the door the girl' replied: 'Only visi,' naming the cook, tors for Miss who carried the card to the kitchen. Out of curiosity the lady went later on into the kitchen and found the card (:i hona-lid- e printed visiting one), and on it inscribed as follows: 'Miss K W- first ami third Tuesdays.'
