Oregon. Along the line of the abandoned Fnu uu canal, where bats are flitting and owls are hooting, there is at least $35. 000,000 worth of dredging and other ma chinery. It is under shelter and can be easily pnt in good repair. Here is a chance for the builders of the Nicaragua canal, which will not be abandoned. We are going to have a Louisiana lot tery steamship line to Central America, If the reports ai o true. Tliat many lived monster Is said to bo about to raise its head and wag its tail as lively as ever in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.

The secretary of the treasury renew; his recc unendation to congress that at. appropi ttion of $50,000 be made for the (urpoM it enabling the treasury depart ment t replace wornout and mutilated paper currency with spick and span new bills. Good. The secretary Bcubtless re members that this may be a cholera year. A joint resolution for a constitutional amendment calling for the election of United States senators by popular vote instead of by the legislatures of the states has already passed the national house f representatives. This is one of the ehanges that the Twentieth century will probably witness. Then different polit ical parties in a legislature can no longer lock horns and stay locked till warm weather thaws them out. That is an excellent plan for relieving the poor that was devised by the Ou cinnati chief of police. Instead of open ing souphouses to feed both the just aud the unjust, this shrewd chief had all the needy apply to the city department for help. The worthy poor were sent to the it?4afinnary,-e unworthy to the city workhouse.' Bj that means the tramps were enabled to earn their living in the workhouse. . . With the Russian famine, the grip for two years, the cholera, typhus and final ly the extreme severity of the present winter, both in Europe and America, it looks as if a large proportion of the weak and physically unfit members of the hu man race would be carried off. In Ham burg alone in the past year there wer 10.C00 deaths from cholera. What fam ine and pestilence spared the frost bidi fair to gather. But with the weeds tlM flowers are taken too.

It is to be hoped that the proposed in vestigation of the Nicaragua Canal com pany win be carried through to the end, and the disbursing agentsof thecompanr be required to account for the way in which every cent they rmid ont was ex pended. This will now bo necessary in view of the Panama scandal. The agents of the company will doubtless welcome as eagerly as anybody this opportunity to show their countrymen that the busi ness of the Nicaragua canal is in clean hands. We shall havo no Panama scan dal in America. The public will want to know on exactly what kind of a basis the Nicaragua canal stands before in vesting money in it. and tho directors of the enterprise will of course be only too glad to show how honestly and econom ically the fnnds have thus far been man asm!. Hayes had some distinguished men in his cabinet during his term of the presi dency and was not jealous of them. Among them were William M. Evarts, secretary of state; Carl Schurx, secre tary of the interior, and John Sherman, secretary of the treasury. Carl Schurz supports Mr. Cleveland now, but he was a stanch Republican in 1876. John Sherman distinguished himself by the return to specie payments throughout the conn try Jan. 1, 1679. Six months before that date he had accumulated in the United States treasury $140,000,000 In the expectation that there would be a demand for it in exchange for legal ten der notes. But there was little or no demand, and thus, quietly, without shock or disturbance. United States money passed from a paper to a specie haw a. The medical profession really begins to believe that cancer can be cured. The cure is effected through knowledge of. microbes. There Is a microbe for each disease, and the cancer germ has been already discovered. The first step toward finding the cure was the discov ery that if patients affected with cancer were suddenly taken, with certain other diseases as, for instance, erysipelas the cancer ceased its ravages during the progress of the other ailment. This was known a century ago. But not till re cently was the cause discerned through the germ theory. It was found ont that the bacteria of certain diseases were hos tile to one another and waged war upon one another in the human blood when they met. - If, then, the cancer patient is Inoculated with tho erysipelas virus, the microbes of the two diseases attack one another and the erysipelas germ de- troys' tue cancer germ, it is Claimed that certain cures of the dread cancer have been effected in this way in New York and in Berlin. Paris and Vienna. The Jewish Colony In New Jersey. Early in tho yeur 1801 the American agentsof Baron Hirsch bought 5,100 acres of wild pine lands in southern New Jer sey. This was in anticipation of the ar rival of a large numler of Russian Jewish exiles. They came, and the real colony was founded in April, 1801. Most of the men had been tradesmen in Russia, but it was partly to. keep them from over crowding still more the field of peddling and small merchandising among their race in America that the attempt was made to put them to fanning. The 5,100 acres were divided into 80-acre plots, which represented the farm that was to be allotted to each family. It was a very small farm, according to American Ideas; still the result shows that the founders of the colony calculated cor rectly. The families were settled upon the plots with the privilege of buying them, being allowed twelve years to pay for thein. - The result thus far has been gratify ing in all respects. The first work done by tha colonists was to chop down the pine trees and clear the ground; the next was to cultivate the soil. Professor H. L. Sabsovitch, a learned Russian Jew, who came to America some years ago, gavo up his place as professor of chemistry at the Colorado state agricul tural experiment station to take charge of the farming operations of the exiles in New Jersey. Cloak aud trousers fac tories have been established besides the farming industry, and the Russian Jew ish colony promises to add substantially to the wealth of southern Jersey. There are now about 1,000 people in the colony. Woodbine is their postoIBce and railroad station. Many of them have taken out preliminary naturalization papers. Xfca Wild Career of a Xosus Chicago Bam. Some small boys fastened a wire to one of those wooden hams which are nsed for advertising purposes, and to the other end of the wire attached a lot of fish hooks, then dropped the fish hooks into the Madison street cable slot at Madison street, near Halstcd. The hooks quickly took hold of the running cable, and away sped the ham toward the set ting sun. - At Green stroet it struck and tossed into the mud handsomely dressed Jim I Do Meyer, the wine connoisseur. At Loomis street it struck an Italian's hand cart laden with fresh roasted peanuts and popcorn and scattered the load over the road. The ham journeyed right on. leaving the son of Italy and tho street newsboys to fight over tho peanuts and colliding with tho flying imitation pork. As the frayed edged ham danced along near Western avenue it caught the eye of a nearsighted saloon keeper. "What a nice addition." muttered he. ; "to my free lunch counter." He grabbed ! a board, threw himself into position like a grand stand ball player as he comes to bat, aud as the ham approached him he swiped it about amid ship, broke the wire and acquired the ham. The loafers who, clad in their beet clothes, stood lazily smoking cigars on the sidewalk, gently led the ham grabbing saloon keeper into his saloon near by. Chicago Tribune A Georgia Theory aa to the Teather. "Do yon know where the comet has gone!" asked one of our citizens. "Well," he continued, 'Til tell you that, in my opinion, it hasn't gone anywhere. I think it is here all about us. We are daily breathing comet, sneezing comet and feeling comet. We cant see it and probably don't smell it. but when the astonomers lost it I think it was because we ran into it or it over us before we knew it. This cold and unsettled weather throughout the world must be due to the presence in our path of a vapor that absorbs or Intercepts tho heat of the sun. Ton know some of the savants of the skies said the comet was only a vapor spread throughout a mighty area of space, luminous by absorption or reflec tion at a great distance from us, but in visible if about us, and contained not enough solid matter to make a handful I believe we are taking a prolonged comet bath and I don't like it" At lanta Constitution. Jam Samuels Straus Story. Jumes Samuels, of Dubuque, a sergeant in the Twenty-first Iowa, was one of the seventy-five Americans who went to Cuba twenty years ago on the steamer Virginius and were shot by the Span iards at Santiago. His name appeared in the list of tho dead, and his family mourned him as such. They have just received a letter from him written at the Soldiers' homo, Covington, Ind. He states that he was shot through the head and left for dead. Chance friends nursed him hack to health, but the shot de stroyed his memory, and the past was a blank. By some means unknown to him he recently reached Chicago, where he was recognized by an army comrade, who brought him to Covington, where his memory was restored. Cor. Chicago Inter Ocean. V A Skating Challenge. W. J. Weeks, a spry young man of sev enty-two summers, of Yaphank, Long Is land, challenges any person in the world. "regardless of ago,1 to a match at skate writing. He has had a challenge for long distance speed skating, open to "any lad of seventy," for $1,000 a side, stand ing for two years, with no takers. He proposes that the match shall consist of writing words and sentences comprising not less than a hundred letters, to be given out by the judges at the time of the contest, and to be judged by three experts in penmanship. English writers. Mr. Weeks says, assert that the feat of writing letters on the ice by skating is Impossible, but he U ready to demon strate their error. The Majority Has no Complaltit Lynn C. Doyle, la Valley Record. As the years come and go, it be colsos more and more apparent that raising and maintaining "cattle on a thousand hills" is fust becoming im practicable, and has ceased to be a source of great revenue in south-eaaterri Oregon as in former years. The reason is obviouH, as tho ran?e is being rapidly narrowed down by the approach of the irreprcssablc, though indispensable Mhav-seedt" who is inclosing and will continue to inclose the most productive portions of the public domain, and con vert the sama into farms to the great injury of the cattle meu. Says iu Bright. Newsy and Spley. The Oregon State Journal, published at Eugene, is one of tho best and oldest newspapers in Oregon and it has gaiuod a reputation of saying things in so clever a manner as to convince its read ers that they were what they seemed whether they reallT wr or not. Gere is an example which will take The Mail readers some little time to find out if It he true: The Medford Mail, published each week at Medford, Jackson county, Ore gon, by A. S. Bliton is the latest ex change added to our list. It is a bright, newsy sheet and is marked by Mr. Bli ton's crisp, spicy, interesting style of writing. We'll "ex"' with you brother with pleasure. In the Days Long Agone. The Talent News don't make much pretence at printing what is termed by the newspaper fraternity a "blanket sheet," but even though miniature in size it prints some very interesting reading matter. For instancn the ar ticle on "Early Times' in the "new" days of Southern Oregon from the pen of Mr. Welborn Bieson, which appears beloir: "There was no U. S. mail through this country for several years after the pioneers had formed quite a settlement. We obtained our communications as best we could. It generally occupied six months to receive answers to our letters written "to the girls we left be hind us." In the spring of 1&4 there was a to tal eclipse of the sun; but having re ceived do almanacs for that yevr, we kne v nothing about iu It took place about 10 o'clock in the morning of a bright May day. People were at their usual avocations when all at once it be gun to grow dark and yet there were no clouds viMDle. it made a singular fueliogeome over us: and I do not won der at tho Indians being so easily frightened by Columbus, with the eclipse ho told them about. The writer of this wa&av wot-lc with others build ing fence; we could with difficulty ii tinsruish objects at a short distance. Capt. J. M. McCalL, now of Ashland, came riding up and after consulting ttn him we came to the conclusion that it was an eclipse, which proved to be the case when our long-delayed al manacs arrived around Capo Horn via the Sandwich Islands, which we had ordered the fall before. Later on. C C. Beekman, of Jackson ville, at the time traveling with his family, betran to carry express over the mountains, making connection with the outside world at Shasta Citv. The price we paid for a paper or book like Harpers Monthly was one dollar, and we were glad to get our letters at any price. It was dansrerous crossing the moun tains: there were lious, bears, Indians, and, worst of all. highwaymen that did not stop long beiore ifley bred II tbey thought their victim had money and would resist. Wra. Rockefeller soon had what was called a passenger poav ex press and made regular trips carry ing passengers eacn way. It then be came less dangerous for the hitherto lonely expressman. About this time, quite a number of our miuing population, who had come alone, and lell tbeir lamilies behind, began to send for them, directing them to come by steamer via the Isthmus, thence up tho Sacramento river to Shasta City, then take the mule or po ny train for Rogue river. A number of the ladies or our valley could tell of their hairbreadth escapes and wonder ful adventures, while traveling the narrow trail over the mountains be tween here and Shasta Citv, where if any one had said at that time that a railroad would be constructed, he would have been considered insane to think of such a thing. Gold has been found in a well on the premises of a mm named Took living one and one-h.ilf miles south of Keno in Klamath county, and it is thought the famous blue gravel formation has been tapped there.

Pneumonia. At no time in the history of the coun try has pneumonia been so prevaleut as during the winter months of the last two years. In times past a com mon cold was not considered at all se rious, but of late years the great ten dency of colds to result in pneumonia has made pcoplo apprehensive The trouble is . that colds are not always properly treated. No preparation con-talning'o-piuui, wild cherry or chloro form should be used, as they have a tendency to dry up a cold, whereas it should be lonseaea aud the lungs re lieved. It has been observed that when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is used tho cold never results in pneumo nia. The reason is that, this remedy stimulates the mucous membrane which lines the throat and lungs, to a healthy action, causes a free expectoration, throwing off the poisouess matter, and counteracts any teudoncy toward pneu monia.
