"The particular person wlio will be
.boeen ia not considered o lunch aa the
puliation whether !Inrrion will make a
B-tiination to fill the vacancy or leave
f' matter open for I'resident -elect
rciand 'a action. It i certain in view
the attitude of certaiu democratic
aator toward the nomination of Me
. jmaa, to be judge of the court of the
' 'tru-t of Columbia, that a nomination
Ilarriaon would be actagoniaod to lite
i of the session, and defeated if po
jle. In view of that fact, it 1 protatblr
e president will not care to provoke a
Iter controversy and will take no
t tion ; bnt it can be aaid he will coma
ta no determination upon the matter,
aud w ill not conaider it even for aeverai
ya at least, abould he decide to make
a nouiinatiou. The probabilitiee are a

Preitident Fulton of the senate has ap
pointed Messrs. Hayes and Smith to act
on the joint committee to investigate the
portage railroad at Cascade Lock.
A poatoffice ba been established at
torth Dalles with Elder 3. W. Jenkins
I postmaster. The office will be opened
a or about the twenty-third i4 next
month.
If the weather ia favorable, and ice
will permit it. the launch of the steamer
Regulator will take place on Saturday
forenoon. When this steamer comes
ut again by taking l,r place on The
Dalles, P. aud A. N. line, she will be the
next thing to a new boat. The old hog
chains have been taken out and heavier
ones put in, and the hull has been
strengthened in every part, and it is
thought she mill not have tj be over
hauled annlu for year. It depend npon
the condition of the river, of course,
when trips are to bo resumed, but the
company expect tostart up mith through
trips to Portland every other day, some
time between the first aud tenth of nett
month.
Mr. Ham Patterson of Juniper flat is
in the city. He i a very pleasant and
sociable gentleman, and that i probably
the reason why hi friends have rung in
so many jokes npon the public at his ex

wholly out of Imagination, but it done
the boys so much good that he conclude!

about 4 0 pound. The shib wa taken
! from a quarry recently diac-jvered near
I hmall pier tf the atuff have been pick-
d op in the iwrighborhood '" 10
lime during the pat U year, but no
one had any idea of their taloe until
recently, alien specimen aero sent to
the Smithsonian Institution in Wash
ington, and aeverai other noted scientific
institution. All opinion airreed that
the atone ia troe opal-onyx aud the dm
of the kind ever discovered on the con
tinent. A .number o well-known-miiieralo-iU
and government eipcrts
have viailed tha diatrirt, and all give it
thj.lr nnininn that the entire eOOnlT
iforeomo rflfttanre around ia underlaid
UltU UIVUU;, llllinitii.i
by a depoait in old lake- bottom daring
on period of the earth' formation, and
ia therefore found in horizontal layer.
Ia the prevent inunce the material ia
found in detached niawn-e. of all color
and siae. along the foot of a leep liiil.
Three piece have been foaiHi araltered
kmg for a dietanre of a nii'.le. but thus
far no distinct led ge ha been discovered.
The onyx admit of a very high polish
and i vajued according' to it color and
maiking. It is very bard aud brittle,
ami mut t cut and polifhed with
diamond dut, and by an experienced
hand. .A very peculiar method ront be
employed lu mining the onyx. The iw
of the piece wauled ia first marked out;
theu little hole are bored al! around the
edge with a diamond pointed drill. In
these h')le aie driven little piece of
mood, over which waU r ia poured. The
expanku of the aood cracks the ttone
and then it i earil.e detached. The
chunks are afterwards awet. into slab
by atriui of copper iaws, tempered with
a paste made of diamond dut. Some
of the piece are very finely marked, and
if properly rut and polished mould make
beautiful felting fur rings and breast
pin. The romeror Opal-Onyx com
pany have received a requisition from
tieorjje !'. Merrill, curator of geology in
the BCtiuua! iniieu:o of the Smith
aoniau Institution, for (pecimena of
onyx. The company also filled an order
from the Union Pacific railroad coui.ny
at Omaha for 100 pouuds of onyx. It
will be another great laurel added to the
already extenrive list of valuable stores
deposited in the Inland Kmpire, when
we eliall ship American opal-onyx to
order.

People seem to be getting tired of the
fog that has been hanging over our sec-1
tiou for weeks. Business is quite dull.
and laboring men find little to do.
The predictions of a few dissatisfied
taxpayers, that the work the city coun
cil had done on the street would prove
a curse to the town, have not yet come
true. A man may malk for blocks along

The O. A. C. is now iu a more flour-,
tailing condition than it ever waft. There
are sixty-fire more pupil now enrolled

Probably some of your reader are
laboring under the impression that the
citizens of our fair state have to bear all
the expenses of this great institution.
If so, I want to tell them that the state !

expense of the college. Uncle .Sam
gave Oregon 90,000 acre of land for the
purpose of starting aud maintaining an
agricultural college. 50,000 acre of thia
land, ha been sold, and the money,
$133,000, ha been loaned at interest.
For the same purpose tha Udited .States
government appropriate (18,000 this
year, which will he increaved (1,000
each year until it reaches fj,000 per
year. The government appropriate
$15,000 per year for the purpose
of maintaining an Agricultural Ex
periment station, liut as the money
appropriated by Uncle tarn cannot be !
used in life- construction of buildings,
the state ha to look after them. The
citizen about Corvallis went domn in
their pockets, built and gave to the state
a fine three story brick collc-tre building.
The state has since erected two dormi
tory, boarding halls, a two tory me
hanical building, of bricU and has com
menced a station building. The present ,
legislature is arked to faiii-li themtt
named building and thus give the chemist !
a chance to learn that KaHtern Oregon soil
is capable of producing something more

Aaroaia, Jan. 2C Special. A pec
ial meeting of tha city council haa been
called to confider a bill introduced
into the senate on the 1 1th by Mr. Wil
li. Thi bill ia entitled. "A bill to es
Ublish and incorporate the Port of Col
umbia, aud to provide for the improve
ment of the Columbia river in aud ad
joining said port, and to provide a rail
way or canal and lock at and around
tu in water and the dalles in raid Colum
bia river."
Never was a more barefaced attcui4
made by a representative of any place to
foist it into prominence at the expense
of other localities, than the real object
tM lies under the surface of this bill.
The document pmposes that eight conn
tie of the state hall compose the "Port
of Columbia." They are Clatsop, Col
umbia, Multnomah, Wasco, Sherman,
(iilliaut. Morrow and Umatilla. Then,
each county may aend to the corporation
one representative, barring Multnomah,
w Inch is responsible for eight, giving
that enterprising burgh a majority of
one vote overall the other counties put
together. The 'oabilistic figures" eight
to seven.
The combination is giveu power in the
bill to issue bonda lo tbe amount of (3,
000,0(4), and to state how and in w hat
localities any improvements in the river
shall be made; to tax all property bor
dering on the river,' il necessary; in
short, to hare full and complete control,
so far as can be granted by the state, of
the whole Columbia river, from The
Dalles to the ocean. And Portland, with
a majority voice in the corporation, will
have the whole waterway between two
of her fingers. It is an elegant idea
for Portland. The brazen effrontery of
the proposition is so apparent that it ie
a wonder how it originators could have
been so lacking in their usual running
as to have sprung such a raw scheme on
the assembly. The council formulated
and didtiatch to our representatives in
falein ; an earnest protest against the
shameful scheme.

Senator IXilph's own word should
settle the matter aa to the full and final
term of the extension of time which
settler have to complete entries on for
feited railway lands. In auswer to Mr.
Sherman, who asked the question:
"When does the time expire?" Mr.
Dolph had the resolution read again,
then raid :
" The amendment extends the time for
a portion of the settlers on the land from
September next until the first of Janu
ary, and for others from February next
to the first of January, in either case a
part of the vear. The object is to give
the settler the advantage of another
crop to save their land."
Senator White offered an amendment
to limit the action of the bill to the
state of Oregon. To this Mr, Dolph
consented, and it passed. The same
identical measure passed the house, two
day afterwards.

I read conscientiously Sunday after
noon at the club the weekly rules and
regulations laid down in the newspapers
concerning the details of life, that I
might regulate my behavior thereby;
and I notice that "initials are not con
sidered good form on note paper, not
even monogram," This did not particu
larly interest me, as I have for years
used s Arm, plain aud unruled paper
though I do not delight in two sided let
ter writing, and the only notes I atu
punctilious in answering are dinner in
vitation and the good wishes of Mias
Porphyry sent to me at the beginning of
each world's year and mine own.

should regret this thrusting of such dan
