rzj $lw gattjj storfau AriTOKlA.OhE uN: SUNDAY. FEBRUARY C. 1887 President Cleveland signed the inter-state commerce bill last Friday. Toe; 'virtuous and invincible lobbyVatrSaiem -is credited with considerable fine work so far this season.- THE'ireapportionment'bill comes up uC.the state senate to-morrow. It isJ"o, course, not wholly satis -factory everyone in the lestfsla- Uture' and is liable to meet with considerable opposition. The silver men in the house of representatives talk of impeaching secretary of the treasury Manning for "violating the law regulating the issuerbf United States notes, and failure to comply with tbe Bland" bilHn 'not making monthly purchases of silver bullion. The secretary's -resignation is in the hands of the president. Gov. Nathaniel Pbentiss Bakes, the handsome old politi cian with the peerless voice, was 70 year3 old the other day. What a world of memories are recalled as this well preserved relic of oth er arid, groat-days passes the mile stone Think of what he has been and seen and figured in and the most heroic epoch in the life of the nation 'rises up for review. The bobbin boy; member and speaker of tho state legislature; member of congress and elected speaker on the 133d ballot, after a struggle extending over two months; governor of Massachusetts for three terms; mijor general in the army of the Union Irom 1861 The marriage of Spies, the con demned Chicago anarchist to Miss Van Zandr, by proxy, a fow days ago, directs attention to that singu lar and unusual style of perform ing the marriage ceremony. To marry by proxy, or, as it is called, "married by the glove," is preva in Holland, and is caused by the fact that ninny of the eligible young men, after having finished their education in the schools of the fatherland, depart for India to engage in some lucrative commer cial enterprise or to accept a posi tion in the colonial service. The scarcity of marriageable white la dies in that clime induces the would-be husbands to write to a friend in Holland, inclosing his wish for a wife. The friend se lects a willing, young lady, gener ally with a substantial dot, and otherwise conforming closely to the specifications of the letter. A photograph of the favored one is inclosed in the return epistle. Al ter the lapse of a few months a soiled left-hand glove, with a pow er of attorney, is received from the far away bachelor. Tho friend in Holland marries the selected bride in preciselv the same man ner as if he were the actual groom, and the young wife departs m the next India mail steamer to bring happiness and prosperity to the lonely one in the east. A marriage of this description is as binding as if the bridegroom were present, and is never repudiated. If either parry to the glove mar r'age should die before meeting in India the survivor would share the property of deceased according to the laws.

PARKER, DEALER IK more in the national house of rep resentatives, and now United State i marsh tl at B iston, in his second term of three vears. A Prince Edward Island pa per relates an incident showing the power of imagination. While a woodchopper was at work the axe glanced from a tree and went deep into his boot. . Nearly faint ing, he dfoped his axe and started limping for home. His wifo dis covered him with much difficulty dragging himself along. She at once ran to his assistance and got him into the house, when the large red mark in his boot proved too much for his nerves. His wife was obliged to get off his boot alone as best she could. Expect ing to find a fearful wound, she was happily surprised to see that what both had imagined to be blood was only red flannel which he had put on in lieu of socks while his only pair were being washed and dried protruding from his boot. Some business people, to whom judicious advertising is a great benefit, and whose money ex pended intelligently and econom ically in: printer's ink is money well spent, have an idea that in some way they support the views and endorse the course of a news paper simply by reason of their being' advertisers in it. True this : class of business men is rather small in number, as the more in--rtelligent business people recognize that circulation, publicity, is the main object for which they pay ..their money, and which is valua ble to them. There is no politics "In Business, and good business men recognize this fact they ad vertise in the paper that is most generally circulated, and reaches the eyes and draws the attention of the most of those they desire to reach, whether they be Demo cratic, Republican, mugwump, in dependent, or what not. Those who dovnot recognize the value of advertising, and those who do Dot knowTiow to advertise, should not advertise at all. The former class think they are .throwing their money away, and .one is as bad as the other. There will always be enough of those who appreciate the value of advertising, and know how to advertise, to keep the spare space of. legitimate advr taxag mtdiums" coupled. ntrPAm nf wfitftr which seoarates the tarms ot Messrs. riympton ana west, was risinir rapidly on Saturday, the 29th, and at six in the eveniug it seemed doubtful if the bridges would stand the torrent of water and tho logs which shook them as they passed under, but I do not thiuk anyone ex pected anything more serious thau the loss of the bridges. At nine o'clock a terrible crash was heard, end almost before we could Bpeak,the w iter was all arouna uj. a jam ot logs had collected a mile or two above here, broken and ootne down, taking all before it When the stream leaves the hills it makes a sudden turn. Here the logs were forced up on the land and scattered in every direction. They are piled against Mr. tf lymp ton'e new house, strewn through his orchard and over hU farm; the have torn down fences, uprooted trees, swept away bridges and made a bridge of their own. On Mr. West's land the fences are down, barn uoora nnverfirl with mud. wheat fields cov ered with logs and brush. Below his field and nearer to the siougu are tne houses belonging to the mill com pauy. These are surrounded by logs and drift. We live in the company's house nearest tho slouch.

On the other side of the Frenchman's hnnso was the main nart of the stream. I oannot describe it better than to say that everything movable was carried away or buried under tbe rubbish, and yet no one was hurt. One log crushed the chicken house belonging to a Uninaman and Killed ten h?nkpn. I learn that Knanna suffered more severely than Westport. They have had two floods lately.

They have had a remarka bly successful run in Portland, and are said to possess a very much better class of artists than their "former company was composed of. The following is from the Oregenian: The never-fnihng power of "The Mikado" to draw was once more ex emplified last night by the very large and entbnsiastio audience at the Ca sino. There is little more to say about the performance than has already been said, except to reiterate the fact that the present company give the best '-Mikado" that Portland has ever seen.
