The variance of population in the jurisdiction of circuit judges in Oregon is from 9248 to 53,613. Lincoln Sontag has been appointed commissioner 01 aeeas ior uregon, dui -will reside in California. Marion county's assessment for 1S96 has already cost $7000, and the end is not yet, says the Statesman. - Contracts have been signed by Salem growers for the delivery of 189,000 pounds of the 1S97 hop crop at 10 cents a pound. The Rural Northwest advises fruit growers to look well to tha roots of their trees. Borers are liable to be at work there. A colony of Illinois peonle will leave that state in March or April, to settle in ihe southern part of Yamhill county and the southern part of Polk county.

Oregon, fpr San Francisco mar jsei, ; -Portland Is just now being made the rendezvous for burglars and other more or less dangerous criminals. Eight new burglaries haye been reported to the police just recently, but they are un able to capture the burlgars. Mrs. James Crosby,' of Monmouth, Or., has a family bible, printed in the year 1731, in Edinburg, Scotland, that has been handed down ul. the family for several generations; crossed the -.-ocean to America, and now lies on the center table of Mrs. Crosby. It is prized very highly, asd is still in a state of good preservation. Last summer P. Boler, who lives in Springfield precinct, in Lane county, raised several hundred bushels of canary seed, and sold it in Portland, Salem and Eugene. He received four . cents per pound for the seed. It is better than the canary seed raised in , California and the other states, weigh ing considerably more to the pound. W. P. Murphy, once a resident of -Salem, became indebted to T. W. Cowan, a hardware merchant in Ya- ' quina, in the sum of $37.90, and he ar ranged to leave the state. ' On the eve -of his departure Go wan swore out a warrant for Murphy's arrest, and the debtor was taken into custody, says the Coryallis Times. January 3, this .year, he was committed to the Lincoln county jail, and there he was neld a prisoner until January 18, a period of 25 days. ,On his .release. Murphy re tained council and brought suit against the merchant for false imprisonment, was tried in Judge Stearns' court at Tnlwln T.inrnln mimtv. last Tuesdav. In his pleadings, Murphy admitted the debt, but denied the right of the de fendant to deprive him of his liberty, and the upshot was a verdict by the jury allowing him the full amount for which suit was brought. In the judg ment entered up against Gowan, the $37.90 owed him by Murphy is entered as a credit, leaving the amount he is to pay the alleged absconding debtor 1462.10. The case is probably the first f its sort to be tried in Oregon. LoCKHABT, TEXAS. OCT. 15, 1889 Messrs. ParisMedlcine Co.. Paris, Tenn.

It costs at least fi'ty dollars a person, for by the law of the commune of Chamouni, each stranger is obliged to have two guides and a porter. So far as the. danger is concerned it is n iw re duced to a minimum, but almost every year the mountain claims a victim. I Sad weather is the chief thing feared by the guides, and so swiftly does it, come that a cloudless sky may in fifteen min utes turn to a blinding snowstorm which beats you to the ground. Thus it was that some years ago a party of eleven persons perished. Five were found frozen stiiT in the snow; the other six lie buried in the Glacier des Boissons.

One of the alleged dynamiters wbc were recently released from an English prison says he did not hear a single item of news from the outside'world in all the years of his confinement. He did not even know that Parncll was dead. In our prisons, which have the same rules of silence and absolute seclusion, the inmates learn everything that is going on both within and without the prison, by a system of signswhichdenVs the watchfulness of the guards. Either English prisons are better governed than ours, or else the inmates of Eng lish prisons are less shrewd and less sly than our convicts. X. Y. World. It is often difficult to convince peo ple their blood is impure, until dread ful carbuncles, abscesses, bails, scrof ula or salt rheum, are painful proof of the fact. It is wisdom now, or when ever there is any indication of 1 .

When the abscess broke, the pains were terrible, and I thought I should not live through it.

Ensconced in the depths of her big arm chair, a smile lighting up her fine old face that her white hair framed with a crown of snow, Mrs. Harmon was considering her nephew Andrew, a good-looking young fellow of 2S, who. for his part, was considering the timepiece on the mantel, whose hands were already past three o'clock. "Well, Andrew, do you find the clock very interesting?"' In some confusion the y;;unjr man stammered an excuse, but went on: "Xow. don't deny it. you naughty fel low. Von wanted to knw if your visit hail lasted long enough for you to take your departure decently." -Not. at on. aunt. lour guoss is quite wrong, for I haven't the .-slightest intention of going yet. Hut why do you keep a regular sun dial like that in your drawing-room?" "Perhaps because I was born so long ago that it is I and not the clock that is behind time. But come instead of criticising my drawing-room, tell me what you are going to do wheu you leave' here." 'ln the first place. I am not going to leave here for some time; but when I have wearied you with my presence until you cannot stand it any longer, it will be time for me to go to Mrs. La ton's tea." "Mrs. Laton Pauline Laton?" "The same." "Ah. yes, I used to see her some time ago. I remember her vaguely a large woman, dark ' "She is a blonde, aunt." "Indeed? She used to be a brunette. And so you are sighing at the feet of Mrs. Laton ?" ... . - "We are all sighing at her feet." "She must enjoy it." "Well, I rather think she does." ; "Is it fun?" "Yes, after a fashion. We are always the same little circle of friends, and then, besides Mrs. Laton. there's a sis ter,, a rather good-looking girl, and a few other voung matrons and bachelor girls." ' "And what do you do besides look at these women?" i "We take tea, which we moderate with rum, a bit of lemon; we gossip and we flirt." "Oh, oh." - ,"But. my dear aunt, one must do something between five o'clock and dinner." "Evidently, and flirting w what you have found to do." "It is a way to kill time." 1 "I scarcely know what you mean by j the teem. Explain it to me." , "Oh. impossible. A definition for the word has long been sought, but it has not yet been found. But. given a young twoman tete-a-tete with a voung man who is not a fool, and I warrant you it won't be long before you will have a practical demonstration.' Flirtation is a manner of being discreetly indiscreet. To know how to flirt is no common ac complishment. It is a veritable sci ence." "And is love a science, too?" "Xo, it is rather an art." "And marriage what is it?" "Oh, that is philosophy." "Indeed? At what age does one at tain this philosophy?" "As late as possible. "It seems to me that at SS " "Aunt, aunt!" cried Andrew, spring ing from hi chair. '"confess that you are concocting some terrible plot. You look as guilty as a conspirator." Mrs. Harmon smiled a fine smile and enjoyed for a moment the consterna tion in her victim's face. Then she an swered, after a pause: "Yes, you are right. I wish you to get married." ' "In heaven's name what have I done to you?" gasped the young man, with comic seriousness; and. as the. old lady still smiled, he continued: "See here, aunt. I should never have suspected you of such a thing. You, a woman of intelligence, a superior woman, de scending to the role of match-maker! It is a terrible shattering of my Ideals." , "Come. come, my poor boy. do not be so cast down. The girl is charming, I can assure you." ' "Of course," Andrew burst out, "the girl is always charming. Oh, I Itnow her; I can sec her now; she may not be exactly pretty, but, as you have said, she is charming. She dresses admira bly, and makes all her own gowns. 'She stood at the head of her classes in school, and attends lectures now. More over, she has taken cooking lessons and can put up preserves. She plays the piano, she sings, she paints, and she has a tidy fortune in her own right. Bah! Xo,' a thousand times, no! I do not want this miracle of perfection. I know a thinar or two, aunt, even if I don't look it, and if I marry, I shall marry a woman who suns me. nut. i know girls they are all alike and I know what they are and what they are worth. There isn't one who suits me, or can suit me, and I shall remain a bachelor." "And you go to take tea at Mrs. Laton's," murmured Mrs. Harmon be tween her teeth, while a disturbing ex pression enme into her clear-seeing old eyes. Under this ironical and even inquisi torial look Andrew lost countenauce a little; he could not deny that to matri mony he preferred flirting with Mrs. Laton. . He was pulling himself together to re ply, or rather to defend himself, when the street door bell was heard. "A caller, eh? Is this your reception day, aunt, or do you, too, give your friends tea at five o'clock ?" "You are impertinent, nephew. At my age a woman does not give 'five o'clock flirtations. It is not even a caller. I am sure it is my little friend Rosamond, the 'charming girl' I spoke of." "I shall flee, then." "Do you not wish even to s.ee her?" "Never: Or, if you insist, I shall go into this little ante-room and look at the ac- quaintance of Best scnuitng s tea coffee bnlclntr pmvflcr flav.irtnp extracts soda mill s;ju cs for nothing, and welcome Your grocer knowi. V or sale by Geo. L. Davis her t l.ro;i:v!i the crack of ! he i"ocr. That is the only concession 1 hii;.ll :u;,l;c," and the young man stepped (jtilcl.iy liiic the tiiNt room as the on coife : j.. opened to admit the visitor; tiiioi;!i the slit Andrew could make out ti:o graceful silhVjuettv' of a your.;-- girl. "How do you do, Mrs. BannonV' tu:d the girl, as hhe entered the roam! ''I have brought back the little hooks on the orplvin asylum that you lent mamma. May I stay a moment with you?" She continued to keep her back to ward Andrew, and he, now beginning to get tired of the game, had about con cluded" that she must be frightfully ugly. 'Sit down here, dear, beside me," end Mrs. Harmon easily contrived to place the girl just opposite the small room; and the young man, approaching his eye to the crack, was struck by the pretty face he beheld. "Well, Rosamond, w hat are you doing nowadays? Are you going out much?" "Xo. very little. I had a card forMrs. Laton's tea this afternoon, but 1 wrote her I was ill. You will not betray me, will you?" and she laughed a merry laugh, that set Andrew's heart to vi brating. "Do you not care for such affairs?" asked Mrs. Harmon. "Surely, Mrs. Harmon, you do not think it would be amusing to spend an hour or two w atching Mrs. Luton's flir tations, with no one to talk to but the insipid woman and stupid men of her set?" ."You are severe, my child." "Severe? Well, with a woman like Mrs. Laton I do not think one can be too much so." Instinctively Mrs. n.trnion raised her eyes to the door that concealed Andrew, and, under pretext of arranging the portiere, she crossed the room, and, as she rearranged the drapery, whispered to her nrphew: "It's nearly lirci-you"ll be late for your tea. But her wnrnirg was unheeded; An drew did not budge. As for the girl by the fire, she was still full of her idea. "Do you know Mrs. Laton, Mrs. Harmon V" she asked. "Yes. yes" the old lady hastened to reply; and to tun the conversation she went on: "But you are wrong to de clare that all men are Mnpid.. There ore some who are quite sensible." "Sensible? Well, 1 don't know them, j I Co rot mean that they nrepll stunid. j but they thiuk themselves so superior that they ore wearisome. They are j vain, insufferable . bores, with their i blase airs and their idea that they are Irresistible because they can flirt with Mi. Laton. who has bleached hair, smerrs paint on her face as if it were a palette, and whose brains are good for nothing but to devise outrageous gowes." Again Mrs. Harmon cost aV uneasy glance towurd the little room, in which Andrew was fast waxing anry. He Would have liked to strangle 1his girl, whosi suM-rb hcnlth and triumphant beauty irritated him. "And when will you get married, my dear?" suggested Mrs. Harmon, again thrown? herself into the breach. "I shall nevertnarry." "Indeed? Why not?" My Ttot?" repeated Rosamond, a shatlow of melancholy coming over the loee that Andrew admired in spite, of hhr.Si.lf. "Because I am a Vltle fool who cannot do nr the rent do 1 would wish to love my husband ad to bave him love me. I would wish to morry a man w hom 1 should single out from among the rest for his goodness ant! in telligence. I would wish to have con fidence in him.nnd above all be proud of him." As the girl spoke she had become ani mated with a gentle exaltation, which was not without its effect on the young man behind the door. "Well, Rosamond," snid Mrs. Hanr.on, "why do you not realize yourdieam?" '"Because there are no young men nowadays wlio care to look for a girl who pleaFCB them. Marrtpge for them is a matter of .business, nothing more, and the woman herself does not count. They marry when they have lost their money, nud the little heart tJicy jxs scsscd has been frittered away on some Mrs. Laton or another." Again Mrs. Harmon arose, and, pre tending she had an order to give, ex cused herself and hastened to her nephew. "Well, aunt, she lias given, us a nice dressing down, eh? For a 'charming girl, I would back her against the world." I "Hurry, Andrew; it is late, and you have almost missed your tea." "My tea!" he repeated. "Bother my tea! Is there nothing else in the world but my tiea? Now, you must find an excuse to bring" me into the room, and I'll show that young threw whether all men are fools. Oh, she need have no fear, I shall not try to rrnirry her, for I still have all my hair, a. little money, and a heart still intact," Mrs. Harmon could not refrain a smile at the young man's vexation, and five minutes later Andrew entered the drawing-room. But, contrary to expectations, the conversation did not become a war of words; on the contrary, the girl's fresh gayety disarmed Andrew's lunger at once, nts preconception fled before her dimpled smiles and her gentte voice, and he soon fell under her charm, for getting his anger in his admiration for her graceful movements, the penetrat ing timber of her voice, the sparkle of her wit. The hour for the tea had long passed. You can make and Andrew was still there. He had lost all derire to run after Mrs. Laton, that fadWl doll whom Rosamond as he was forced to admit, to himself had portrayed so truthfully. And ensconced once more in the depths of her tirm chair, Mrs. Haruici! smiled a. kh.dly smile, and silrnlly re garded the young people, who, ft V.i r'r part, looked e.t. one nnotiirrr with l?!c" that do not de-ccive, a,ud in which the old ain:t. read with joy the ho;:e of a happy union. San Francisco Examiner. ftullwuy Aci-iilent Canned !y Heat. A piKsenger train on the North Brit ish railway met with a curious accident which engineers attribute to the intense heat which prevailed on that day. The train when rounding a curve left the rails and ran on the ballast- for nearly 4U0 fin t before it coukl be stopped. This state of thing was brought about by the spreading cf the rails from expansion caused by tiie heat. According to.the rcp-ort the thermometer on that day and at that, poirrf registered 128 degrees. The derailing occurred at noon while the track wes exposed to the full rays of the sun. The expansion took place within a few hours, as an inspector had passed over the road during the fore noon, and everything appeared to he in the usual coudition. As the train! approached the spot the engineer saw the rails were badly warped, and al though he at once applied the brake, it was too late to stop. The curious feature of the mishap was that the engine re mained on the track, having gone safe ly over the spread rails. In connection with Ihis account comes the statement that th-3 road had not been kept in the very Ix-st condition. N. Y. Ledger. Likes Prison.

Editor Mail: In ao issue of your paper of recent date your correspondent at Eagle Point said tbat there was "Irregularities in the dis tribution of the mail In our postofflce above here." You will see that the above makes al most a direct attack a poo the Brownsboro postofhce. In reply I will say that the assertion is wholly nnlrue as applies to this office, and I shall ask of your correspondent that he furn ish me with the name of his informant, as I shall demand that the statement be proven or an apology offered. As It now stands It is a gross insult to those who are trying to do their duty hones Jy. I think 1 can give you an idea as to how the report started. A few weeks ago, in one of the offices above here, the postmaster made a regular distifbution i-f his mail, and then banded to a messenger, who was waiting for that purpose, the mail and papers of several families who resided four, six and seven miles distant. I suppose the messenger was slow in making known the fact that be had brought np the mail for one of the patrons was dewn and called at our place and told me that be had visited four different houses the day before and could not find out who had brought up the pa pers though he knew they bad been taken up from the office. The postmaster was not to blame. And It patrons carelessly scatter each others paper they should be cautious about gossiping about the "irregularities in distribut ing" and miasendmg the maU. I know by ex perience In handling the mall that we mlssend as little mail as any other postmaster. Another reason which makes the 3d bd ford Ma i I. appear irregular is the fact that sometimes it comes to us on Friday and the Lake Creek mall carrier makes his trip on the same day therefore takes it right home. Other weeks it arrives on Saturday and has to remain in this office until Monday evening. You can readily see the effect of this upon the minds of those who do not understand the circumstance. Please correct that Item it is false. Yours respectfully, Jamks Bsll, P. M. Who doesnt know tht horrid nightmare when the feet refuss to move, and you drag yourself along: by main force, with some sort of terror chasing: after you ? It is something the same way with the waking night mare of "biliousness." It seems to paralyze yonr en ergies, weigh you down like lead; and drag you back with an unshakeable clutch. You can't get away from the misery that pursues yon. You feel dull and languid and low-spmted ; your appetite is poor, your stomach is out of order, your sleep is disturbed, you are irritable and "cranky." There's no real lively enjoyment of life. What you need s Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to tone up your liver and help it in working the impurities out of vour blood. The livet has a large share of this purifying work to do and sometimes it gets over-loaded so the impurities back up on to the other organs of the body : the kidneys or skin or lungs, and take root, then it's a harder matter to clear them out. Wherever they settle they are all blood diseases just the same, and the " Discovery," will cure any blood disease that was ever named, scrofula, ectema, ca tarrh, ulcers, swellings, severe coughs and even consumption. But the enre is a hard er job when the trouble has gone as far as that The right way is to go at these im purities before they take root, while they are still floating in the blood and over-loading the liver.
