An item has been going the rounds of our exchanges lately, says the "Talk," purporting to be a list of the graduates from this State and Wash ington Territory at West Point, which is incorrect in its main points as far as Oregon is concerned, and leaves Wash ington Territory shorn of her cadet glory in the late war. The facts are these, as we glean them from .an old pioneer, and one who knows whereof he speaks: Oregon's firtt cadet was Adair, of Astoria; her second, Medorum Crawford, Jr., and not Lane; the Iat- ter never graduated there. Although wo believe he served -sonio three yars and 8 months, and if our memory is not at fault, young Lane was with the party of Southern cadets wno hoisted the rebel flag on one of the towers of West Point, and who were met in the building by the cadets of the loyal States, driven out, the rebel flag low ered, and the stars and stripes thrown to the breeze. The ne.xc day all the Southern cadets resigned, young Lane with them. The third, Lieut. Fred, Schwatka, of Arctic fame, and the fourth, Lieut. Scott; the Gfth will be young Geary, son of Rev. Dr. Geary, of Eugene City, who will graduate in June, 1882, and likely be succeeded by a son of Quincy A. Brooks, of Lake county. Washington Territory was honorably represented in the Inte war by her first graduate, dipt. Eobert Collins, who lost a leg at Gettysburg, and is now on the retired libt. We have been surprised to see the item re ferred to pass through so many papers of Oregon and Washington Territory, without a single attempt to correct it. It is a matter of history, and as such should be correct in a few of its lead ing features at least. Working in a Tunnel. It must be fun to be a miner in the Sutro tun nel. The rats and bats have it all their own way. The miner who brings his lunch basket is not at all sure that he will eat its contents, for if he leaves it a few moments, the rats eat lunch basket and all. Nor is his chances for dinner much better, if instead of the basket, he takes the ordinary tin ket tle. A party of rats will steal u kettle before its owner's eyes and roll it away down in a hole, where no man can follow them. They then rip the lid olTand devour the contents at their leisure. There are millions of these rats, and many are larger than kittens. The bats bother miners and mules. When one big bat flies against a min er's face, and another bat equally big flies in the face of that miner's mule, there is a complication of trouble. The man cannot see which way the mule is going to kick, and the mule, who cjui not see either, but goes it blind, kicks at random, and is apt to hit the man where the bat hit him. The bats are as large, numerous and powerful as rats. A man to have his dinner stol en by rats, then to be hit by a bat, and kickttl by a mule, is a combination of infelicities calculated to make him long for a, call to some other field of labor, where he can do more gooel withgieat er ease and pay for himself. There was something in the election of Davis which much amused the Sen ate. When Harris, in the chair, ap pointed Bayard, just deposed after so short an incumbency, to escort Davis to the chair,-the smile ihaVhad playeef over the Senate broke into a moderate laugh. Davis joined in the laugh", and was escorted to the chair, in apparent good humor. When Davis returned thanks, Edmunds offered a motion, thanking Bayard for the impartiality elisplayeel by him as President. This seemed to strike the Senate as a satire, and more laughter ensued. Edmunds saw that he had been misconstrued, and rebuked the Senators. He then said he ottered the motion in all sin cerity, and Mr. Bayard was entitled to thanks because he had been fair in all things, and tho resolution was unani mously adopted. Ex-President Hayes thus explains why he removed Mr. Arthur from the New York collectorship: The issue with Arthur, as collector of the port of New York, did not arise from want of confidence in his capacity or ability, but on a question of method in reforming tho civil service. The issue having been made, and Mr. Arthur declining to yield the point of difference, the al ternatiw had to be met, and his remov al was ordertd, but with extreme ro-luctame. LOST I Till: J10l.NT.lI.VS. KrorseK. fslrons Mnmlrr Intn Ihe Mouu- lulnsln Lane C'uunfjr Two Wcrkt Mncc and U Sdll Mlliij;. From a gentleman who arrived last evening from Southern Oregon wo learn the following particulars in re gard to Mr. George E. Strong, of Salem, whom we reported a day or two since as having wandered olFmto the mountains near Springfield, Lane county, while in a fit of mental alter ation. Mr. Strong, who has until lutely been an agent of the Oregon Military Koaxl Company, i well known in this city, having at one time been assistant editor of tho "Oregonian, ' was comin from Linkville in company with General John F. Miller and three hired men, and stopped for the night nt Hill's station, on the military road about fifteen miles from Springfield, where the lodged in a barn Durirg the evening Mr. Strong, who was suf fering from the deprivation of accus tomed stimulant?, from the effects of which his nerves were in a shattered condition, he net having been able to sleep for several nights, was observed to bo acting strangely, and appeared to be undergoing much mental worri ment and anxiety, said he heard muiii at a distance and was going out to seo wnat it meant. Mr. Miller sent a matt to watch him. He went to Hill's house and told him that the men the barn were trying to kill him, n.d that Miller would not prevent them. He was brought back to the barn an I went to bed. Just bejore daylight hti slipped quietly out, leaving his coat bti hiud hin. As soon as it was light search was made for him And he wns tracked to the river, into which he had stepped, and then he turned tevrni tho mountains. His trail was followed for sonic distance, until all traco of it was lost in the rocky and wild region to which it led. General Miller and party remained at Hill's for some time and searched in all directions, but l.o trace of the missing man could W. found. Mr. Hill told him that he would collect the neighbors and maK a thorough search, and General Miller reluctantly proceeded on his journey. This was on the Oth inst., and on Wednesday ho received a letter from Mr. Hill stating that the country had been searched far and nenr, but noth ing had been seen or heard of Mr Strong. It is hardly to bo expected, owing to the late inclement weather and the great length of time ho has been missing, that he will ever be found alive. "Standard." Intelligence received at tho Warne observatory, Rochester, N. Y., fioin Bristol, England, states that Prof. W. F. Denning discovered a InigLt . uw comet on the -1th inst. It is located in the constellation of Leo, right as cension 9 hours 22 minutes, declina tion north 1G degrees, daily motion 30 minutes east. This is the sixth comet which has been seen sinco May 1st, live being new discoveries, all but two of which were first observed by Amer icans, and it is certainly a high com pliment to the industry and skill of American astronomers that they havu shown so fine a record. The total uinount which Mr. II. II. Warner has given m comet prizes during the p -st year is 1,300 which shows that tiie inteiest taken in astronomical affairs in thitabumry is-i'at'y increasri, --- rr. - Dr. Hammond says that when y poke tho end of your finger in your tar the roaring noise you hear is the sound of the circulation in your finger, which is a fact, as any one can demonstrat 3 for himself by first putting his fingers m his ears and then stopping them up with other substance Try it and think what a wonder of a machi your body is, that even tho points of your fingers are such busy workshops that they roar-liko a small Niagara. The roaring is probably more than tho noise of the circulation of the blood. It is the voice of all the vital processes together the tearing down and build ing up processes that are always goin forward in every living body, L ru conception to death. in The story now is that Mr. Conic ling's recent visit to Washington wai for the purpose of insisting that tho President should not select him for any Cabinet position.
