John Euskin. the great lecturer and
art critic of London, England, has be
come an imbecile. He was born in 1S10,
his father being a London merchant.
Physically weak, his mental powers
kave been remarkably great. His earli
eat literary efforts appeared when he
was only 15. He graduated from Ox
ford in 1S39, and four years later pub
lished the first Tolume of "Modern
rainters," criticism of which brought
him prominently before the public. He
turned his attention to English archi
tecture with a view to reforming It, in
which he succeeded in a marked degree.
lie studied the best architecture of En
rope, particularly Venice, and in 1S51
published his "Stoues of Venice," illus
trated by himself. Very popular among
his works are "Ethics of the Dust," "A
Crown of Wild Olive" and "Sesame and
Lilies."
ABOUT THE BILLS.
It is quite generally known that the
largest wheat-growing farm in the world
is owned bv Buffalo men, but very few
men of this city know that a Buffalo
man is the owner of the largest farm in
the world, that is used exclusively for
breeding and raising trotting horses.
The largest farm in the world devoted to
this purpose, however, Is located m
Sedgwick county, Kansas, and is owned
by Henry C. Jewett of Buffalo. Sir,
Jewett has long been known as the
owner of the celebrated Jewett farm
located near Buffalo, but the Kansas
farm is known to but few, and most of
those who do know of it regard it as a
branch of the New York farm, while the
truth is that the New York farm is the
branch of the Kansas farm, the parent
which supplies it with the material to
make up its stables that go out each
year to do battle on the turf.
If proof were wanted that Mr. Allen's
majority is artificial, misrepresentative
and delusive, It is supplied bv the para
doxical conduct of Senator Van de Van
ter of King, says the Spokane Review.
For weeks Mr. Van de Vanter has been
the recognized and accredited leader of
the Allen forces. Mr. Allen and Gov
ernor McGraw have publicly proclaimed
his leadership and referred members of
the legislature and others to him for ad
vice and decision. Yet all this while be
has been privately sneering at Allen
and letting drop the most ancoinpli
tnentary expressions of his ability and
manhood. At last he has openly bol ted ,
with the declaration that he has cast his
last vote for Allen. At least a score of
others who have been voting for Mr.
Allen feel the same way, and would bolt
in a body if their shackles could be
broken.
The Waldenses, descendants of the
famons sect, so cruelly persecuted for
centuries on account Jof their religious
opinions, who still inhabit the mount
ain district of the Italian side of the
Cottian Alps, are preparing to emigrate
to the United States. Their chief busi
ness, clothmaking, has become so de
pressed, even with their (frugality, that
it is difficult for them to live. They are
sending agents to North Carolina to
make inquiries looking to settlement
there. If the reports JJare favorable,
2,000 of them will emigrate in the spring.
They are a hardy, thrifty people, retain
ing to a remarkable degree the virtues
of their ancestors.
There are thousands of acres of marsh
lands in the states of Oregon and Wash
ington crying for capital to take hold and
develop it. It is as fine land as can be
ound in the world. A large part of it is
covered already with wild cranberries,
and the rest would need only labor to
utilize it for tame ones. In these unde
veloped marches, many of which lie in
Tillamook and other counties lies a for
tune more sure than a mine, says the
Pacific farmer, if properly utilized by
energetic men, who will make a study of
the business and try to supply the mar
kets with this delicious berry.
Senator Butler's dower bill amends
the existing statutes by givlug a widow
one-half instead of one-third of tlie es
tate or inheritance: one half instead of
one-third of the residue from the satis
faction of a mortgage after her husband s
death ; one-half of the rents on the es
tate she lives on after his death; one
half of the mesne earnings of the estate
when she has to sue other heirs for It.
Senate bill 205 provides that where a
will is admitted to probate, in addition
to having it recorded in the county
where it is admitted to probate, the ex
ecutor or administrator with the will or
a cortitled copy annexed, must bo re
corded In every county in which the
testator left anv real property in the
record of deeds of such counties. The
act contains the emergency clause.
A bill of Senator Penny's amends the
code relative to the distribution or per
sonal property of an estate. The exist
ing law provides that the husband of an
interstate shall inherit the whole of her
propertv, issue or no issue. The new
law gives, in case of issue, half the prop
erty to the survivor, either husband or
widow, and all of it in case of no issue.
Senator Hayes' bill, authorizing county
courts to offer rewards for fugitives, pro
vides that a reward, not to exceed $1,000,
shall be offered by the county court for
the arrest of any fugitive from justice
charged with a felony. If the sheriff of
the county apprehends the criminal he
can either receive the reward of his reg
ular fees, as he may elect.
Senate bill No. 12S, introduced by Sen
ator Cross, repeals with an emergency
clause, section 2,795 of the code, which
provided that the sheriff must post up
three written or printed handbills in
each precinct in his county to the effect
that he or a deputy would be at the pre
cinct's voting-place at a certain time for
collecting taxes.
Senate bill 209 provides that a person
meeting with an accident upon a peblic
highway or bridge, in consequence of the
poor oondition of the same, shall be en
titled' to recover damages from the
county to the extent of $1,000, by an ac
tion in the circuit court of the county in
which the accident occurred.
It has often been said that the Parian
marble wan exhausted by the ancients,
but such is not the case. The chief
Athenian sculptor of today, Mr. Broutos,
uses it commonly for his finer work,
though he also uses the Pentelec marble
for large statues and groups. The
Parian is whiter, the Pentelec Inclining
to gray. The latter is sandy and gritty
as compared with the Parian, while tin
defect of the Parian marble is its larger
crystalline character, especially if it is
not carefully quarried. The best of the i
modern quarries are free from this fault, j
and it is this which Prof. Broutos uses. I
His reliefs of the Twelve Oods all ex
ceedingly beautiful, and particularly the
Pallas and Mars are carved in slab of
most transparent Parian marble.
IDAHO DIAMONDS.
The New York World, which of course
cannot be said to favor Idaho diamonds
from a local prejudice, thus speaks
of them: "One of the Tiffany ex
perts and others recently pronounced
against the alleged diamonds from the
Idaho fields, but Herman Vrulslandor,
an experienced diamond cleaver from
Amsterdam, who is now In an olilce at
No. 61 Maiden lane, disagrees with
them. About three weeks ago he re
ceived from a corresondont in Boise
Citv three stones which he says are gun
uiue diamonds. Mr. Vreislander says:
'About January 13th, when the papers
were full of stories of diamonds found in
Idaho, I wrote to all the persons with
whom I had previously corresponded on
the subject, giving references ami asking
for samples. Eventually I received a
package containing three small atones,
with a letter saving they were found on
the sender's own property. The stones
are fine diamonds, aggregating in weight
1-9-16 carats, and are unlike any others
that I have ever seen. In color they
resemble somewhat the Jagerstontoin
stones, but, in my opinion, are superior
to them, their delicate aquamarine tint
indicating that on polishing they will
possesss a finer whiteness than the bluer
African stones,
" 'The remarkable feature of these
Idaho stones is their peculiar shape
They are what are known in Holland as
'paekwatjes, otherwise stones with
blunt edges. Now, while such stones
are found in most diamond mines, the
specimens are rare. This peculiarity
makes it improbable that these dia
monds have come from anywhere except
Idaho.' "

It has passed into a proverb that men
can become too great to be president.
In proof of it stand the names of Web
ster, Clay and Seward, and to the mag
nificent list may properly be added the
name of Blaine. To the honor of the
Maine statesman be it said that what
ever the disappointments of himself and
friends, however unfairly treated he ap
peared to be by the party for which he
bad done so much, he never faltered in
his loyalty to his party and his country,
and where the hardest work was being
done and the grandest achievements at
tained, there was Blaine, surrounded by
his unwavering friends. He gave his
strength, his life to his country. Tbey
whom he opposed respected him. Ad
miration of the man was not circum
scribed by party lines. For many years
bis magical name has been saluted as
that of the greatest living American,
and his death will be recognized as an
immeasurable national loss. Cincinnati
Commercial.
A sympathy is manifested in Portland
for the murderer Olegschlager. The
Telegram very sensibly says: "This
aeeniing sympathy for the murderer,
Olegschlager, is foolish and ridiculous.
Ho killed a man, he took a life and de
serves severe punishment. There is no
proof that lie had excuse for his brutal
deed. Murder is too often overlooked,
and its terrible nature too easily forgot
ten. He is worthy of not one grain of
pity, unless It 1 that he is so degraded."
Yankee cleverness is again coming to
the front in affairs nautical. The steam
ship New York, now flying the Ameri
can colors, was built in England and her
owners were paid a handsome bounty by
the British government. When the
bounty played out, she sailed gaily to
these shores and ran up the slurs and
tripes, a trick not relished by our Brit
ish cousins, but which they can not prevent.
There are several millions of people in
the United States who will engage to
build the Nicaragua canal on the terms
proposed by the present company.
These are in effect that the builders are
not to spend a cent of their own money
until they have used $100,000,000 of
Uncle Sam's, with the provision that If
the enterprise pays they will have the
dividends and If It doesn't the govern
ment shall pay the bills. The promoters
have what the wise would call "a soft
snap."
An Indian chieftain died recently on
Vancouver Island who remembered the
coming of the Hudson Bar company
people to this coast. Eight of the is
land tribe turned out in full force to do
honor to him when he was buried.
It is reported in British Columbia that
a number of Australians will settle In
that province this year, having been at
tracted thither lry the rich resources of
that section.

Highlanders have the habit of inter
jecting the personal pronoun "he"
where not required. They well say, for
example, "The king he has come," in
stead of "The king has come." This
habit got a worthy Hootch minister into
trouble. He began his sermon a fol
lows; "My friends, you will find the
subject of discourse this afternoon in the
first epistle general of the apostle l'eter,
chapter 6 and verse 8, in the following
words: 'The devil he goeth about like
a roaring lion, seeking whom he may
devour. Now, my friends, with your
leave, we will divide the subject of our
text into four heads: Firstly, we shall
endeavor to ascertain 'Who the devil he
was.' Secondly, 'Whore the devil he
was going.' Thirdly, 'Who the devil he
was seeking.' And lastly, 'What the
devil he was roaring about.' "
