Now that no discrimination arc allowed wonder if drummers will be able to fix them .elves up as clergymen in order to se cure reduced rates. This fact is hinted at. The in .'re thau.riit is conducive to prostra tion. O Am mg the school teachers in the city last week was Prof. M. G. Line, of Salem. The Prof, has a slight notoriety on account of his being a h.ilf brother of 'jus. G. Blaine.of Maine. In all probability neither of the gentlemen will erer be 'President of the United State. The M. A. T. who has seen the Maine half brother is able to detect in the Salem half brother a slight resemblance above the eyes. The gentlemen wear their beards about the same ; but Jas. G. Is quite robust while M. G. L. is as slim ns a clothes pin. O Immigrants are pouring in. Treat them kindly, considerately, and they display any peculiarities remember that they have not been blessed by Oregon's higher civilisation. 0 Since Mr. Graham, the tailor, came to Albany twelve or thirteen years ago, bet ween thirty and forty other tailors have started here, only eventually to "pas on" to some other place. The New Catalogue . The Albany Collegiate Institute has just Issued its Arat complete catalogue. It con fers great credit on the faculty, the school and the printers, BurkhartA Pfelffcr. From it we learn that the Institute was founded by the Presbytery of Oregon and chartered by the Legislature in 1867. since its or ganization it has had nine Presidents l R ev W J Montetth,Rev Henry Bushnell, Rev E R Geary, Prof R K Warren, Prof L J Powell, Dr D B Rice (acting President,) Rev E N Condit, Rev J C Wyckoff, Rev E J Thompaoa, D. There are now twelve resident graduates of the Institute in this city or vicinity : Mrs E P Sox, Mrs 0 H Stewart, Mrs Cal Burk hart, (saw Gunner) Mrs C E Wolverton, Mr H F Merrill, Dr J T Tate, Miss Hettie J Miller, Miss Ann Althouse, Miss Mary A Irvine, Miss Lillian Robertson, Qui no and Frank Propst. Dr. Tate is President of the alumni association and Mrs. Merrill Secretary. At the present Unas there are four students in the senior class which grad uates in June, five in the junior class, seen sophomores, fifteen freshmen, twenty sub freshmen, thirty-eight in the preparatory ilO-irtmcnL vrnts-n in thi- nnrmtl rlt and eighteen in the music class, making al loware for rroetitions. ninetv-.ix. The repetitions. course presetted is a thorough one so far as it goes. The College has some convenience, such as Its splendid location, its mineralog ical cabinet, etc.. and it has needs ; an as tronomical apparatus, for instance Besides the regular scientific or classical course in structions in painting and drawing, book keeping and mask are riven. Four fifty dollar scholarships have oeen provided, one for each class, to be given to.the students taking the highest rank in the year's work, and prizes are offered in English, science, mathematics and language. Tne Institute is a credit to our city, and should receive all the encouragement pos sible. An endowment is needed and it is to te njpcj on; will h; secured in the near future. Annual Meeting. The Albany W. C. T. V. held her annual meeting at the Opera House last Tuodav evening, before a very large audience . Af ter an opening chorus Rev Davis offered prayer. Mrs J H Townsend made her an nual report as President, a thoughtful docu ment. Miss Pet Strahan recited in a very clear voice, with good expression a pretty temperance poem. Miss Litiie Robertson read an essay on tobacco,! n which she made some very pointed thrusts at the use of the objectionable stuff. Rev T G Brownson delivered a well clasiifi.v.1 adJress 0-1 " Mile Stones Alonjr the Way." In 18JO one of the first temperance organizations was form ed in the V. S. Msmb.-rs could nt drink except at public gatherings. The penalty far drinking was 25 cents ; forgetting drunk 59 cents. In is jo a movement was started that resulted in one million two hundred and fifty thousand names being signed to pledges, in 1S4O occurred the great Wash ingtonian movement. Then came the Wo men's Crusade and now the question of total prohibition is before us. These were some of the principal mile stones dweit on by the speaker. Mrs L H Additon, of Cor vallis, delivered a short address on the la bor side of the question. Interspersed through the exercises vfiss Hallie Parrish, of Salem, was heard three times in vocal solo., each time being enthusiastically en cored. Miss Parrish possesses rare talent as a vocalist : probably has no superior if equal, in Oregon. Her cuckoo song was particularly meritorious. Overland to Indiana. Last Monday William Doughtery and uncle, Mr. Miller, son and brother of Mrs. L. A. McConnell, of this city, left on a light prairie schooner for Indiana. Overland trips, particularly Eastward, are novelties. These gentlemen will be fortunate in find ing it somewhat different from the overland journeys of '49. Now, dotted with towns and cities, with no Indians hovering about to molest one, the journey will no doubt have its pleasant features. Swiftly travel ing cars, though,are none too fast for most people of this day and generation . n, Cgk I The new mail system on the Narrow Gauge went into effect last Monday. All mail to or from points on that road hare to go through woodhurn. As a re sult the oid staging days will hold no com pari son for snail like movements. It will take four days to get a letter to Lebanon and receive an answer. Milllaery Opening. Misses E. and C. Howard will show their spring opening of millinery goods at their store on Saturday and Monday, April 16th and 18th. Fine stock. The ladies of Al bany are generally invited to be present.

Energetic, honest, industrious, she came far out in the rural districts to do housework for a family in the city. She knew nothing of the ways of city life. She was unsophisticated. The lady for whom she worked conceived the idea of surprising the girl with a grand treat. To this end, she bought a ticket for the theater -and di rected the girl where and when to go to the Opera House. The girl went, but returned about 9 o'clock. "What is the matter ?" "Did you not like it ?" asked the woman of the honse. "Oh, I liked it ever ao much it's a fine painting." said the girl. "But whv have you returned so soon P "Surely you did not see it all r" "Yes, ma'am, I did. I went in and sat down and looked at the large picture hanging up in front, and it's a daisy 1 tell you. People kept coming in right along and soon there was a large crowd all sitting around looking at the pic ture. Then some one, I did not sec who it was, took the picture away, and some men and women went to talking up there where the picture had been about something that did not concern me, so I got up and came home. But I enjoyed the picture very much. it was just too sweet. A Matter wita a Point to It. The season of house cle aning and Spring moving is about her.

As an incentive to study corporal punishment is always wrong. Personal rivalry is wrong when it carries the idea of rising at the downfall ot another, rcrsonai humiliation as an incentive to study is also wrong.

Bryan, Hup't Benton Co., is decidedly in favor of suppression of whispering in school times ; one of the greatest causes of failure on the part of teachers is lack of government.
