AYE, lowell, Mass. . itu: Aprs Cherry sectorial Rogue itlvsr Valley. . The valley of tho Rogue river Is one of tho ohaln of beautiful valleys ex tending from the Willamette on tho north to tho Sacramento and lower valleys of California on the south. These fortllo doprosilons, blooming llko fabled gardom within tbelr moun tain fastnesses, and rich In every ele ment of productive energy, are separ ated from eaoh other by transverse columns of mountains which link tbe Cascades with the Coast range, tbui segregating and creating of eaoh a distinct lection within Itself and pos sessing it! own peoullar characteristics. Tbese valleys, it may be aiuumed, onoe formed the coast line of the Pa clflo ocean. It has been olalmed, and with some reasonable brobablllty, that there have been three ibore linei on the coast, and three distinct recessions of tbe waters of tbe Paoifio, tbe tint shore lino being at tbe foot of tbe Blue mountain!. Whether this debatable hypotbeili be true or not, it may be assumed ai a certainty that Rogue river valloy was once a lake The evidences of this fact are too numeroui and un mistakable to admit of serious question; and that lis waters were once dis charged through what Is now known as Sterling creek, there li every reason able probability to believe. The great bed rock wash of Sterling creek, from 100 to 175 feet wide, and from 26 to 50 foet deep, shows the action of a large volume of water for an indefinite period of time. There may bave been, and probably was, a high spur of tbe Sis kiyous near tbe head of Sterling oreek, wblob slid in at some time in the past and blocked the channel and forced tbe wateri of the lake to out their way through tbe gorge at Rook Point, and flow into the old channel below Grants Pasi. In support of this probability. there Is every evtdenoe that Applegate, below the mouth of Stirling to its oonfiuence with. Rogue river, was once a large stream. Rogue river valley, viewed from any standpoint, Is an irregular amphi theatre walled In on all tides by moun tains that rise from the valley In a sue- cession of undulating hills and plateaus, one above another, until tbelr hoary summits tower in perpetual mow. Stick a pin in the center of this grand amphitheatre of picturesque beauty and productiveness, and you will ex actly locate the wide-awake, progres sive, Uve, bustling, building and busi ness town of Medford, situated on the through line of the Southern Paoifio railroad from San Francisco to Port land. The geographical position of Medford In the oenter ot the valley, and in the heart of the largest and best body of agricultural land in the county, cannot but make It preeminently the business and commercial center ot the oounty. The trade of Medford, through the liberality and foresight of its active and energetlo business men, now reaches and ramifies almost every sec tion of the valley. With the rapidly increasing volume of business done at Medford from year to year, it is sale to predict that its future li one of assured prosperity, and steady and healthy growth.

Teachers who are preparing pupils for the eighth grade examinations In the rural school should not lose sight of the fact that the main objeet of tho study which leads to graduation Is the development of power. A certificate of graduation is a snare and delusion un less true culture has been gained before securing it. Too much stress has been laid on the fact of graduation, and not enough on the value of the power whiob. should be first gained. It is far better to fall to graduate than to do so with out having earned the right. ." " .. A. Slover, the dravman, get him to do your hauling.

LONDON IN 1784- There Wee Maaty HtaTBiOTstraMei aeteT ttaovatere ItwMa. In 1784 M. La Combe published a book. entitled "A Picture ot London," fa which inter alia he says! 'The high roads 30 or 40 milea round London ar filled with armed highwaymen and footpads."- This w as then pretty true, though the expression '.'fUled" is some what of an exaggeration. The medical student of 40 or 50 years ago seems to have been anticipated in 1784, for M. La Combe tells us that "tbe brass knockers of doors, which cost from 12 to IS shillings, are stolen at night if the maid forgets to unscrew them" a precaution which seems to have) gone out of fashion. "The arrival of the mails," our author saya, "is un certain at all times of the year. Perr sons who frequently receive letters should recommend their correspond-. ents not to insert loose papers, nor te put the letters in covers, because the tax is. sometimes treble, and always arbitrary, though in a free country. But rapacity and injustice are the dei ties of the English." M. La Combe does not give us a flat tering character! "An Englishman," he says, "considers a foreigner as an ' enemy, whom he dares not offend open ly, but whose society he fears; and he. attaches himself to no one," Perhaps it was so in 1784, but such feelings have . nearly died out at least among eilu cated people. M. La Combe, in another part of his book, exclaims: "How are you changed, Londoners! ' Your women are become bold, imperious and expen sive. Bankrupts and beggars, coiners, spies and informers, robbers and pick pockets abound; the baker mixes nlum in his bread; the brewer puts opium and copper tilings in his beer; the milk woman spoils her milk with Bnails."- Gentleman's Magazine.
