The Commercial raner of
Portland says the Oregonian en
ters upon its 19th volume " in an
enraged form." It has been ap
pearing in that form ever since
Scott was kicked out of. the custom-house,
as he happened to lite
in the editorial sanctum of the
then, to him, much despised Old
granny.
A New York dispatch of the 5th
says:
Rev. Sheldon Jackson lectured
3'esterday on Alaska before the ladies
of the Presbyterian-board of missions,
urging the establishment of a woman's
home at Fort Wrangel and asking
$3,500; 1,000 was subscribed.
This looks a little singular, to say
the least. Do they intend to banish
women from America by sending them
to a "home" established at Wrangel
by the board of missions? What sort
ci an idea is this?
"Come now," said a lady recent
ly to Alexander Dumas, "who gave
you the right to judge us poor
women as cruelly as you do?" "No
one gave it to me, madame," said
Dumas; "1 bought it."
"Speaking of razors," said the
obsequious barber, as he tendered
change for a quarter, "1 believe
Adam and Eve were the first
raisers, were they not?" The cus
tomer replied, "Apparently."

the telephone is nearly two thousand
years old, having been in use about
that time in their country. There is
something that is older than the telephone-
