Salem lwasts of only two indict ments at the recent term of court, which indicates an awful state of i depravity among the Grand Jurors we should surmise.

Miss Jenny Scott, who was a member of E. t artwright's family formerly of this city, has gone to the "Land of bright spirits.'' -pjie Walla Walla merchants do not think it takes many ot those Drummers for San Francisco busi- tiesa houses, to come to "sixty-two and half cents." The Spirit of the Wed gets off this : "The Grand Ronde woman j who put two dozen eggs into her bed, so they couldn't freeze, while she was absent four or five days, and, on returning home late at night; bounced into that same bed without thinking what she had Maid' therebounced out again in an egg-scrabble condition.1' Hoo pa-naaskilenbnlla,a or "Bit ting Bull," a chief ot the Sioux tribe, has been sent by a half-breed named Benoist"w)iere the woodbine twineth."

Too cos tive. 7'he prospect of sufficient tonnage for the next wheat crop is not very promising. .More ves&'ls will bo needed next season, and full rates will have to be paid. 'Ac inward bound fleet of vessels, large and small, is only one hundred and seventy-two. 7'he Salem Statt smart says : Mr. Henry Klippel, one of the Hoard of Capitol Commissioners, started home, (Jackson county) Thursday, the Board having done all that could be accomplished just at pres ent. " It's of no consequence," how- ever, as Toots would say ; for aren't Columbus left to run the machine ? ; If he and John F. and Dick can't I get away with the capitolappropri- ation, we should like to know what's the use of having High Joints. Another daily, the sixth, is ar ranging for publication in Salt Lake City.

Dr Holmes says New York young men have "pastey muscles," The maddest woman in the United States of America is the one who lives at Jacksonville, Me., and recently lent her fifty-dollar muff to a female ac quaintance, who sported it at a small pox funeral, who sent it home with a neat little note stating this fact, and that as she "had sprinkled it with ben sine, (lie owner need not fear catching the disease." E. X. Davis, a Mississippi planter., having a large tract of unproductive land on ids hands, did not sit down and bemoan the hard times and growl at the negroes, but quietly divided it up into small farms, erected little com fortable houses on each, then secured twelve families from North Carolina to occupy them, and already is rejoic ing in the success of his experiment. One of the Ohio representatives rose up the other day and moved for a law to prevent any inore babies from being named John Smith, but the thirteen John Smiths around him threw so many inkstands at him that he had to sit dowu. London ladles are enjoying a perfect mania for black silk stockings, which are now so Universally worn thai street corner loafing Is almost done away with in the English metropolis. CWRREKPONDEXrE. Albany, March 11th, 73. The New Northirett in its last issue seems to have had a special de sire to give the Albany delegation to the Temperance Alliance a de nunciation through its columns for being among the so-called se eders, and as everything that is said through the columns of mot ot the papers seem to have the same tendency in denouncing those parties who withdrew from the Al liance, all we desire is to be dis tinctly understood in this matter. Most people look at the mere ac tion and judge from that without stopping to inquire into the motives that prompted the action. The Nea Northwest says that this "ele ment desired to show the whisky ring how not to do it." We do not know that any whisky ring was represented there, but taking the New Northwest who professes to know all about that element of the Alliance for authority, that there was such a ring represented there, it certainly looks as though its inter est was on the side of the Nn" Nortkteest from the fact that the ring did not want such an organiza tion as a Temperance Alliance and, profiting by the experience of last year, they knew that if its editor, Mrs. A. J. Duniway, could be forced upon that Alliance, its objects in a great measure were defeated, which was just what they wanted, and by the assistance of outside par ties who were not delegates, but who done the head-work, they final ly succeeded. Most of the delegates sent by temperance organizations who wcni there for the purpose of working in the eause of temperance and nothing lse, also realized the fact that they were powerless and were simply throwing away their time, and having a desire to do something, withdrew for the purpose of forming the Union, an organization such as the Alliance ought to have been. We do not wish to be set before the people in a false light, such as working in the inter ests of a whisky ring. t as anyone who knows the men and women who formed the Union to be sound temperance! advocates notwithstand ing what the Xew Northwest may say to the contrary. H. C, CLEMENT. There is nothing In a name ; it there were. Miss Woodhead would not have been appointed resilient mathematical tutor sit Glrton College, Cambridge University, England. A young Irish girl at Jacksonville, HI., 'has refused $100 for her hair. It reaches the floor when she stands erect. Miss Jennie Brown, of Wisconsin, lias received fifty yard of watered silk as a reward for saving three men from a watery grave. Many old women in New Hamp shire wear strings of beans around their nooks to keep off the rheumatism, and the charm is said to work splend idly. A London correspondent speaks of a girl -with one body and two heads.-1 who can sing contralto with one and soprano with the other. Queen Victoria has gran ted a pension of $2.t( a year to the widow of the gal lant ('apt .' Knowles, of the Xorthfleet. who lost his own life in exertions w save others. The Boston Ttwes protests again-t the employment of female teachers in the public schools of Massachusetts, except In the primary schools. The Prince Napoleon said the Lord's prayer in Latin when he heard ot his father's death, ft was more comfort ing than English, perhaps. An Insurance company against bur glars Is proposed. Some of Napoleon's wine sold ifi London, lately, at $10 a bottle.
