1SMAS TlWir.S OF OltKGOS
In the sub-report of Mr. Xesmith ac
companying the report of the Congres
sional Committee on the condition of
the Indian tribes of the United States
an estimate is presented of the number
of Indians in Oresron, together with a
variety of observations upon theircon
dilion'mid management. The number
at the Silet7. Agency i computed at
two thousand; at Grande Hondo Agen
cy, at one tliou-aud and sixty-four; at
Warm Springs Agency, at ono thou
sand and H'vcnty: nt Umatilla Agency,
tit seven hundred and fifty-nine. The
Snakes Klamath and Modoc in South
e:iterii Orecoii. comprising what uie
known ns the untamed tribes, are mi-
were removed from that place to South
eru Oregon. ThoKoguo luor Indians
then numbered flvo thousand. The
two thousand now nt Siletz Agency
are tho only remnants of theso bands.
Mr. Xesmith recommend that tho In
dians ut the Grande Hondo Agenoy bo
removed to Siletz, "where they Could
he moro easily and better provided for,
until such timo as the diseases with
which they aro now so universally in
fected shall result in their total extinc
tion." Ilo adds that "at Siletz there
is ainplo room for these people; by
their being incorporated with the tribes
now there, tho services of ono agent
and several employes might be dispens
ed with. The Government would also
bo relieved of tho expense of keeping
up a military post and garrison, m is
now done at their piescnt location."
Theso are practical sucgcKtions, nnd

RAILROAD.
Tlio IfnionM cays: "Some parlies in

eountrv. nro now talkinir about tho
jiraeticabilitv of tlivertiuj? the Oregon
Central llaflrftnl from the UmpojiMt
ami lioBtic Hiver vallevs, ami laltimr
it over the Lascailo mountains on tho
I line of the Oregon .Militarv Komi, ami
I intersect the I'aeifie Wailroatl some'
where in the Ilumbohlt country."
) This sehcine is no doubt the pro
po
sition of somo ono more deeply interest
ed in tho value of a small propeity of
his own, than in the wcltaro either ol
the country nt large or of the future
ownersoftlie proposed railroad. Aide
from the benefit which it would be to
a very few individuals, there can be no
motive for a diversion of this kind.
Tho country through which tho Ore
gon military" road pas"es is mostly
mountainous districts, or barren wastes
and stony regions- millt for agricultu
ral pursuits. There is littlo to invite,
in tlic way of furnishing freight, even
in the remote future on that route.
On this route, the entire way from
tho Willamette valley to California
lies through a rich and'enltivated coun
try. The valleys of the Umpipiii and
Untitle Hiver. are in no respect inferior
to an equal area of the best portion of
the illnmette valley.
The principal need of n railroad
through this country is to form a di
rect and speedy communication with
San Francisco, which is, and ever will
be, the Queen city of the commerce of
tue est, aim ii a nuu snmim pro
ceed from Portland to Kugene, and
then branch oil' over the Cascade moun
tains, still there must and will be a
line from California, intersecting these
valleys, and connecting with that at
some point in the Willametto vnlley.
The grading on this .route will be far
less than ou the proposed diversion.
Altogether, the proposition appears
quite impracticnMc, itm, will iiniliiiilit
edly ho so considered by practical rail
road contractors. Rwlntrj ICniyn.
THE SHIP OF DEATH.
.Since the time when the Ancient
.Mariner told the terrible tale of the
curse-laden nhip with hercrowofgliast
lv corpses, no more thrilling story of
ttio sea hns been related than that of
tho whale hhip Diana, that recently
drifted into one of the Shetland Islands.
A year ago she left tho Shetland on
a whaling voyage to lliti Arctic- regions,
Slaving on uoaru lilt y iikii. r mm t hut
time nothing moie was heard of her.
Tho friends of thoso on board became
alarmed. .Money was raised, and pic
miiinu offered to tho iirit vcr-sel that
would luiiig tidings ol the imsMiig

harbor. Haltered and ice-crushed, sails
and cordage cut away, boats and spars
cut up for fuel in tfio terrible Arctic
winter, her decks covered with dyad
nud dying it was the long lost Diana,
staggering in like n ship from the
De adman's Laud. Fifty iiieu sailed
out of Lerwick in her on n bright May
morning last year. All of the fifty
came back on lier ou the 2d of Ajiril
this year, tho same, yet how different
Ten men, of whom tho Captain was
one, lav stitlened corpses on tho deck;
thirty-five lay helplessly sick, some dy

to creep aloft, and the other three
crawled feebly about tho deck. The
shin was boarded by tho Islanders,
nnd, as they eliinbeil over the hul warks,
the mail ut the wheel fell fainting from
excitement; ono of tho sick died as he
lay, his death being announced by the

A thing of beauty is n-juy forever, of
which tint lire tho openi severally
partakes, being of that species; says a
Mississippi editor.
The opera is u thing which is never
enjoyed unless it is heard. It is none
ol'tlioso promiscuous musical arrange
ments which is never understood un
less it is duly appreciated. In order
to oxpeiienee'it eli'eotually, a libretto,
an opera glass, a well dressed lady and
a clean shiit are necessary. o ob
tained all these ut immense expense,
and went. On looking nt tho back of
our libretto wo saw tlmt tho opera on
this occasion was "Krnauny." On
looking through our glasses "at the
stnge, wo saw a sentiinentnl look
ing bushwhacker standing on a Hinall
mountain, with several more bush
whackers at tho bottom. Having asked
the old lady, of whom wo were tho
escort or, who that was on tho mountain,
and nho having replied " Krnanny" in
the atliriuative, wo wero morally con
vineed that'll was tho opera of "Lilian
ny" before whom wo were arrayed in
our paper collar glory.
Tho orchestra struck up liko four
hundred torn cats in a back alley, anil
a brindlo cur flog chained to tho gar
den palings on a sweet moonlight night'
in April, and tho bushwhackers at tho
foot of tho mountain nil ol a sudden
commenced to shako expensivo silver
goblets in tho soil Italian air, and hol
ler bravoro, and play drawn poker ou
tho rocks, and sing hymns to " Kr
nanny" on tho top of tho mountain,
wlio linally relaxed his sentiniental ex
pression, and saim ""t! "This is the
(trandrcri) Opcnro Moxicanccro Do
Rio .Inmrio by Vigo," ami ho camo
down from tho mountain, and mingled
freely with thu common high privuto
bushwhackers, and they all stood on
their tip toes and tiiod to tiing louder
than each other; hut nt last the man
with the big ted fiddle played foul ou
the high private bushwhackers and
quit playing to give " Krnanny" a
chance, who forthwith jumped on a
rock nud sang: " Brawn) eavnArrn, I

there wero about thirty chambermaids

reaching to the lloor, and she sain; back
nt the chambermaids, and they all made
so much fuss, we couldn't tell what
they said, though it sounded to us ex
actly liko scniinbled eggs look ; and
they all disappeared suddenly, ami a
fellow wearing red breechos nud u sky
lilue Jacket, with almost as much gtdd
Inco on it as a post ipiiirtermahter of
tho picscut flay, ran out uml common
ccd singing. Ilo was evidently enibitr
ruHKcd, we presume, because in tlio hur
ry of dressing his part ho had put ou
his shirt upside down, nnd turned thu
wrong end down over his should tirs for
a collar. When tho applause which
this accident created hail subsided, he
sang, "Hello, Klvira, I want lo know
wheie in the hclrVero is that dam son
of n 7iko 'Krnanny ;' this is C'rtrlo
just got in from tho l pot and Krnanny
is a white II vereil muAfto who belonged

then Klvira rushed in by a aiila door
and sang: "Ilo's gone to Do-.S'oto."
nnd replied tunefully Carlo : "Hod

and Klvint rolled up her eyes and look
ed as il she had thu AZzpo, and sang :
" Carlo you know you aro so (to
nnd you smell of lomrco," nnd then he
sang ; " Von aro a vlmgo."
Tlio sccuo changed, and in rushed
" Krnanny" like a sirocco, looking quite
mellow ami swoio ho was Just from
Morocco, wlioro ho lost everything ho
had with a yellow fallow nifam ex
