This number comprised twenty-four pages of well-written matter and fine engravings. Of the twenty-four, twenty pages were devoted to the news of the dav. the development of the Pacific Northwest, and a carefully com- j piled chronological table of local, domestic and foreign events, for the year ending Itecemher 31. 1887.

The lawyers ridiculed Pennoyer's inaugural message to the legislature. . wherein he commented upon the acts of the federal courts, in' Oregon, in inter fering, by legal process, with collection of the revenues of a state. Pennoycr ran now place his thumb to his nose and wiggle every finger at them, as the supreme court has just decided a case in point, that 'A federal court ha no authority or power to pass upon the questions of a "state's collection of taxes or revenue." Pennoyer was right. Ex. Marriage licenses granted sinee lsst issue: William Josse and Sophia Zur brugg; Wirt. Bacon and Anna L. E.

The CstttUl tiWr nd'jeetwtf Wad-el-Ward, who appeared in Oregon in a course of lectures some "time since, has proven a fraud. Ward claimed that he met Captain Burton, the celebrated traveler, at Mecca, on the occasion of his famous visit to that place there about thirty years ago. Mecca as is well known, is the holy city of the Mahome- dans, and it ia here that the tomb of Mahomet is located. Mahomet's coffin. so the story ran, was attracted to the ceiling of a lofty tomb, as if endeavor ing to find an outlet to seek its wa) to heaven . Here many thousands of pious Mussel men from all the Mahomed ian world made annual pilgrimages. But woe to the impious infidel who under took the sacred journey and attempted, to desecrate the sacred sepulchre with his unholy eyes. Burton, by assuming the dress and pious demeanor of a Ma- homedan, successfully made the danger ous trip and saw the tomb of Mahomet? and he afterwards described the perils of bis undertaking and the objects aeen in a book, which attracted wide attention at the time of its publication. Wad-el- Ward having made the statement that be met Burton there, a personal friend of that gentleman wrote to him, now Brit ish consul at Triesto, Austria, and re ceived the answer that he never saw nor heard of Wad-el-Ward, whom he judges to be a Syrian, "on the make.' rOKF.MT UKOVR NOTS.

Standard, under date of December 17tb, makes tho fol lowing complimentary remarks regarding the Swiss Bell Ringers, who will appear at the Opera house in Hillsboro, January 9th: 'Pretty girls." That alone would have been a guar antee of a large house at the theater last evening, had it been known, let alone the excellent musical programme with which the Royal & Lansing company greeted their large audience The flret on the programme was Moonlight on the Lake by the Swis - Bell Ringers. The audience showed -a their appreciation of the piece by encor ing it, as they did nearly every ether selection. The 'music of the bells' is very soft and sweet, not a harsh note being beard throughout the entire 2 evening. The Zeither, duet by Miss Liz Royce and Web Lansing was ch sifting and pleased the audience ftreatly. "Beautiful Bell.' sung by Myl Nellie Hoskia, Miss Lizzie Lansingand Mr. Lansing accompanied by the iweet and silver toned bells, was one ofAhe hits of the evening. I OlafMoen, the violinist attracts evisuit his taste, ne introduced fashions animals by his wonderful performances, for while he was playing, a large dog walked up the aisles, apparently to try and discover from whence such music came. The audience highly appreciated Olaf Moen's playing, recalling him they were favored with an 'Imitation of an old Country Dance.' 'The Private Tutors was a musical absurdity in every sense, but was in terspersed with charming songs and excellent music. The company is small but should le called the 'Big 4 as far as music, mirth and fun go to make up an evening's entertainment at the theatre. The company close tlieir engagement this evening when new songs and music will be introduced. Mlating Slotrl Man. John Roney, proprietor of the Com mercial hotel, Hillslxtro, has hastily shaken the dust of our town from his brogans, leaving a nunilnr of prominent merchants and others altout town to mourn his absence and the non-payment of numerous bills. Roney came to Hills boro about a year ago. and has been en gaged in the hotel business nt the old restaurant quarters of George Squires and at the Hillsboro hotel for two months. He sold his interest in the restaurant building to J. W. Morgan, and with the funds, has flown. He left his wife and family of four or five chil dren in the hotel with two or three mortgagest on the furnishings and w ith out money. It is Iwlieved he has desert ed his family without any intentions of returning to them. He left about ten o'clock Tuesday night in a buggy, and it is believed he wns conveyed to ime point on the Portland Kalama Tacoma railroad, and that he boarded the early morning train for the Sound and Vic- Tort We can grimly emile veeTToss of five dollars, w hile others are left to blaspheme in lieu of suras ranging from ten to sixty dollars. We believe he came to Hillsboro from Montana. We do not know his nationality, but he is said to be a cross between the cayut-e and Canadian, with a decided exit to wards the Canadian boundaries.

Oration ml Jthu V. tsmitte. It is a custom in studying and at tempting to describe a great character In history, a character that has to do witn public aliairs of a nation, also to xplain the abstract circumstances hich surrounded that individual, and nsider the times in which he lived nd the cast of the people with whom e had to do. There is a single excep- ion to this rule in modern history: and IV hat ingle exception is the character we Iwi,h to consider. Npoleon Bouapn arte. U The reason of this exception may not ' (immediately be seen, but by a steady look we see that instead of Europe and ita internal affairs making a place for a man like Napoleon and placing him in it, this strange and incommensurable foreigner made his way to France, wrought out by his own hands and by his own efforts a civilization of his own, which was destined to affect Europe and all ita institutions. Circumstances make the man. So in the case of Washington and Lincoln. Not so with Napoleon. On the other hand, he created circum stances, and made tbem profitable. He moulded his servants and officers to j ani made them acceptable. So original in mind and feeling, no wonder he was so strange and so Ill-adapted to the world about him. It is clear before hand that the surrounding ideas w hich have such a firm grasp on others would have en him no grasp at all. It is need less to detail his work. Every one knows how he rose; how by his own exertions he raised himself to the high est summit of human glory, and made France the leader of the world in sc i ence, civilization and commerce. How, incited by fear and jealousy, the surrounding nations fell upon France, like a pack of cur at the heels of a mastiff, and beat him to the ground. How he fell, and crashed down every thing connected with him in his fill. The institutions of various kinds which he had helped build died with him. The trades, professions and systems of commerce which he had encouraged were for a while paralyzed. What wns the meaning of all this? Was it for the Innelit of the race that all these pros-jHt-ts were blighted f Possibly every individual is an in strument in the hands of the Aimighty to work out some good for society as a whole; this may le either by precept or example, and if by an example, a tost cae given as a warning, then the nillic. tion or blessing when it fulls t-bould le on thn head of an illustrious and well knnvn character, that the example may be as wide-spread as toslble. to benefit the greatest number of people. If we take this view of the case, then Napoleon was an example; and it seems even so, fir w hen any one even speaks of Nspolen and his ways it is conveyed with the idea if his ambition, his virtue, used to such au extreme until it became hisjrice. Napoleon's ambition became hilj eating passion. He is the impcrfona- tTOTTTT?IwiriTWTrW condemn Napoleon for bis pride artd his ambition, yet we, each and cverv .1 . . ... 'ingic one oi us nave me eame iraus i .1 cryracter only, perhaps, some of us in a slighter degree and more diversified. Napoleon' was conscious of his own ability as well as of the ability of those around him. He was keen, farsccinj;. intense anil possessed of an unlimited amount of j acumen; knew just how to manage people: could read characters as he weuld an open book. He use to watch ' the effect of everything. As an example ' of this, he was in the habit of ilying into ' a passion of madness, either real or as- ' sumed, and would fairly rave, break ' china, thrown his coat into the tire; all ! these outward appearances of uncontrol-1 Uble anger while all the time, even j when these fits were genuine and pain ful, he would watch their effect on those who hapened to be present. Thus by the c onstant use of all his faculties, by cunning, shrewdness and untiring energy he accomplished his first dreams of glory, namely, working himself to the head of the French people, and with them founding the strongest government. There is a curi ous tendency in the mind of man in re gard to his life pursuit. It is a difTU iilt titsk to choose a busi ness and choose rightly; but after one has laltored for a length of time nt a particular calling then that calling aud no other mut be his end if he succeeds. If he stops for a rest-he longs to be at work he must pursue his accustomed path. In Alexander this trait manifests itself the same uneasiness when there is nothing more to do no more worlds to conquer. He must either have more I we not tee the same work of restlessness in Na poleon? mm Think of the man's brain !efore so active, incessantly preoccupied with plans, lulled by no distraction, sleeping but three hours out of 24, making play- ! follows, on le ember .7ll.:l'.

A man's life is like a whirl-wind, coming from nobody knows where, nobody knows how ; if a large one it raises more dust and when it dies away there is merely more dust to be trampled on by succeeding generations. 8o it would be better for him, would raise more dust, would leave how of more work done if he chould found a dynaty of kings. But how insignificant dKs an ordinary kingdom appear to him! lie wants the world ; to be king of the "world is no great uudertading f r the emperor Na poleon than to be emperor of the French is an undertaking in this Italiin foreign er.

He got to believing in himself to Midi an extent that he thought to cojwj with 'lie natural element and it was pUiu that he mut Im; stopped. Ac-i-ordiugly on June 18, 181., by a very extr?corlinnry unusual combination of c irt uiu-tnnces, Napoleon was badly Uatcn. This happened on the field of Waterloo. If Naoleon had won that battle th? whole history of the 19th ctntury woul t have been a dif ferent compilation of laws and French ivilint ion would have been fifty yeara ( ahead of what it is at present. ' But it was imputable for Napoleon to win that battle, fale was against him and when fate iutci feres it is well enough for anjlnxly to pause l.-for he commences. As it was, there were, strant- t say, ten even thauces in that battle ami c hance, curious enough, fovored the opposite to NtMlcon each time, if one of the ten had turned for Napoleon, in all proba bility he would have won ; if an equal share, then, as I said before?, this would have been a diHercnt world.
