With but one "exception, every member of President Cleveland's cabinet is a Presbyterian; that ex ception "is Carlisle, who is not a member of any church. Siberia has a city of 30,000 peo ple who have rioble churches and public " institutions dedicated to their use, but which has- not yet been marked or named on any map. During next winter ex-President Harrison will devote his time to writing a book. This book, Mr. Harrison says, will relate specially to a number of important matters connected with- his administration that the public have not fully understood. The acme of incongruity was reached at a recent fair in the east One of the-features was a grab bag, and among the things in the ba was a slip of paper, on which were the words, "Good for one- prave Will be dug any time daring "the ensuing year, John Smith, sexton." He who is skeptical and whose j eyes are goggled" with a mist that j cannot see-wherein our town is day by day making' rapid strides, and headed for the fore rank, needs but to make a count of the new build ings being built, new sidewalks le ing put down and streets being graded. If all newspaper readers were as charitable and as kindly disposed as is the-author of the following from Central Point, there would be a- greater field for compliments: "Tee Mail is greatly valued by us and we very much enjoy rending it think it the best county paper printed." - There is greater need of skilled direction in the construction of roads in the West than in the East. Why should not our Western col leges add this course to their cur- . ricula? It will help the i-ause of good road3 immensely when there are trained specialists at hand ready - to make them. accompanied by the Rev. Dr. Stry- ker. The latter explained with much minuteness of detail the gen eral appearance of the picture and its yarious points of excellence, that the children left the place glee-' fully chatting about what they had seen through their preceptor's eyes. Salem has another daily paper the Oregon Independent and its a good one couldn't well be any thing else with L. II. McMahon at its mast head. It is no particular credit to Mac. that he prints a good paper he can't help it but it's a good tiling for people who are so fortunate as to be readers of his journal. Success Mac, and may the cactus wreaths which are so of ten wont to crown the heads of our fraternity ,in your case be transposed into those of laurels and sprayed with the perfume of violets. Mr. Jordan, editor of the Fargo, North Dakota, Republican, who is himself a postmaster, gives this out as why the position of postmaster is so eagerly sought: ''The writer hereof had supposed all along that the numerous applicants for the Fargo p. o. were in the field for the salary attached thereto. This seems to be an "erroneous supposition, a word now comes that the mucilage on the new Columbian stamp has medicinal qualities, and that its fre quent use will prove to be a specific for dyspepsia," heartburn, nervous ness, gout, rheumatism, neuralgia, backache, sore throat, coughs, colds, intluenza, sore eyes, salt rheum, ingrowing toe-nails, and that tired feeling." CENTRAL POINT. The Alaskan seal fisheries are always an Item of interest. It is es timated that for one seal which the poachers secured they destroyed seven. This seems like a high es timate, but facts obtained last year in Alaskan waters prove that the seals go much farther out to sea for food than was formerly supposed. In shooting St-als in the open ocean the chances are ail against capture. for the mortal! wounded seal nearly always escapes capture ami dies in some remote place where its skin is Kst. The- poacher is interested only in geiting skins, so he spares nothing. The result is that unless a check is put to illicit sealing this year the business, even in the Priby lov islands, will be practically ruined. ... School closed last Friday.

DOUGLAS S3 SHOE FOR GENTLEMEN. . President Cleveland is- sup posed to be known in all corners of the United States, but hi3 acquain tance don't seem to have reached very far into Kentucky as is evi denced by this: A gentleman frjro that state' upon being introduced to Mr. Cleveland recently, paralyzed the spectators by cordially grasping the chief executive's hand and ask ing in an audible voice: "What is the name?" Chili, it is said, will send no ex hibit to the world's fair, because she "has not forgotten the Baltimore'in- cident." The absence of the ex hibit will not be very important The allegation of a good memory is, however,, of some consequence. Chili ought to cherish the Balti: more incident and draw therefore a lesson in good manners that will ex tend its benign -'nfluence even to the third and fourth generation. In Wyoming a postmaster recent lv got lost in a snow, storm and lived thirteen days on dog meat This is not published in the inter ests of Postmaster Howard with a view to discouraging aspirants for the Medford ' postoffice. There is no danger in the least of a Medford . postmaster getting lost in a storm. and the only possible chance for the aspirants to get lost would be in the shuffle at Washington when the cards are being mixed. What thought transference act ually means' was exemplified the other day in New York City, when (in entire school of blind pupils vis-jld-tii Pore exhibition of painting, Southern Oregon Mines.

The rich Cad of David Horn, on Galls creek, iu Jackson county, a few WL-elfs ago. which has since netted him a modest fortuue, has aroused the older Oregoniani, who have lived most of their lives among rich placer beds, but kn-w little or nothi-ig of gala in its native fQi m. Mr. Horn struck one pay chute in his 1 ;dgefrom which he took out more than iliOOO. The claim he has since sold to a company of Ashland gentlemen for 54000. Southern Oregon will contributo handsomely to the state's mineral ex hibit for the world's fair. C. W. Ayers, st-ite mining commissioner, xs now in that part of the state making selectinos. He has appointed deputies in the vari ous mining districts to attend to the l!68er details of the work. The owners of the Ashland mine will furnish an $S000 gold brick for the exhibit, and the Little Annie mine, in the Bohemia district, will be called upon for a simi lar production. One hundrsd pound of rich gold quartz from the Horn mine, which will produce between $40, 000 and 850,030 to the ton, has been secured, besides a larga amount of rich rock of less- value. Many of the more remote mines, where rich specimens can be had later in the season, cannot be reached at this time, but notwith standing this fact Oreeon will have a mineral display at the great exposition which will command the attention and respect of millions of men.
