Practical Pkliaaskrepir.
Joseph Arch, the English Philan
thropist, recently retnroed to New
York, after a tour through the Cana
das where he made a systematic and
thorough effort to get at the precise
condition ot the laboring classes there.
He made the tour generally on foot,
often incMinito, sharing the food and
lodging of the farmers, lumbermen
and mechanics, and learning from
them, In free conversation at their
tire-sides, their wants and necessities,
their hopes and apprehensions. In
pursuing this course, Mr. Arch took a
very practical and highly effective
method of getting at facts that could
scarcely be learned In any other way.
He reports finding the condition of the
Canadian peasant, as bearing no com
parison to those of the United States.
He found that where one English emi
grant settles in the Dominion north of
tlie St. Lawrence, at least twenty find
homes iu the United States. Tlie
poorer classes in Great Britain had
come to regard the United States as
the only part of America worth emi
grating to. He secured a proposition
from a railway company to employ
and transport a thousand men whom
he shall send over. He will, therefore,
go home, and return in the Spring,
bringing 500 or 1,000 men with their
families, who will settle In Canada.
He will then look carefully over the
United States, particularly the West,
to find where 100.000 English farm la
borers and railroad workmen can be
placed to the best advantage. All this
is very practical and entirely different
from tlie usual custom of men who go
about tlie country iu the character of
reformers, and is likely to produce
the best of results. "Mr. Arch is del
uged with letters from all parts of the
country, notably the South, asking
upon what terms farm laborers can be
supplied ;" and it is possible that iu
this movement to be inaugurated by
Mr. Arch, may be found he solution
to the labor problem in the South,
where vast acres ot rich land, which
might be turning out untold wealth,
now Hcs unproductive for the want of
intelligent and well ordered labor.
Silver Payments.
The director of the Mint makes the
following statement of the purpose ot
government in paying out silver coin :
In this, as iu other countries where
gold is the sole standard or measure
of value, silver coins are over-valued
for the purpose ot rendering them in- I
exportable. They are manufactured
and issued on government account,
tlie law, however, placing directly or
indirectly a limit on the issue to pre
vent redundancy, if issued in times
of specie payment beyond the require
ment of the people tor change, such
coins will not maintain their purchas
ing power with standard coins, owing
to the various causes, In this and
other countries silver has declined iu
value to a point at whieii tlie govern
ment can purchase it with gold, man
ufacture it into small coin, and pay it
out at a fair profit. The government,
has recently purchased a quantity of
Silyr bullion sufficient for its purposes
an 112 1-2 tvnts per sttudard ounce.
and will uianutacturc it into coin at a
fixed legal rate of 121 4-10 cents per
ounce, the differences between the
pnrehasiiig and issuing rate' being
within a fraction of twelve cents per
ounce, or about ten and a half percent
on tlie gold coin paid in purchase.
This oncration is believed to be a more
profitable one for the Treasury, and
also more advantageous to the public
iu the present condition of the money
market than the sale of gold for legal
tender notes, and is not a scheme for
the resumption ot specie payments
but simply a compliance with the
mint laws. A dollar in United States
currency will purchase a little more
gold iu the market than a dollar of
small silver coins. The dollar will,
therefore, soon find its level, and un
less there l a rise in both the prices
of gold and silver, small coins must
circulate concurrently with taper
money. The government lias in pos
session of the assistant treasurers about
$500,000 iu silver coin, and at the
mint aud assay offices In silver bullion
and coin about two millions. This
stock is ample for the present. This
mode of paying out silver coin will lie
continued until circumstances shall
dictate a contrary course. As proper,
the government will exact the full
seigniorage required by law, but will
not undertake to control tlie disposition
of coin after it is paid out. The coin
will then become the property of hold
en, who may do what they please
with It. This course was not decided
upon until it had been fully considered
by the Secretary of the Treasury.
The pool selling for the $20,000 race
at the Lick House on the Uth, aggre
gated over $20,000. Thad Stevens
sold for $200, Daniels, $110, True
Blue, who lias entirely recovered from
recent lameness, selling for $135, field
for $30. As the great crowd could not
all be accommodated, pool selling will
continue probably until the day of the
race.
At the great billiard tournament at
Chicago on the 11th, CyrllTc Dion, of
New York, beat Slosen, of Chicago,
the score standing 400 to 397 a close
race. Daly, of New York, beat Sny
der, of Chicago, 400 to 109. Gamier,
of New York, bent Bcssinger ot
Chicago. 400 to 340. Daly beat Slosscn
400 to 207. The game was French
carom.
The attempt to throw the Farmers'
Grange movement Into political chan
nels Is not meeting with success. The
executive committees in some ot the
Western States have passed resolutions
prohibiting all HHtieal action in and
through the order, and admonishes
members of the order, that they are
expected to act politically the same as
they always did as private citizens,
ami iu no other capacity. This will
be something of a damper upon the
spirits of a lot of political demagogues,
who have been sleeping iu tlie liay
mows all season, in order to more ef
fectually identify themselves with the
tanners and thereby ride into power
on the farmers hobby.
Experiments In the propulsion of
street cars by steam power continue to
be made with reasonable prospects of
success. The car designee to be so
propelled carries no tire, but receives
its steam from a stationary boiler, suf
ficient in quantity tor a round trip,
aud it is said to run without any un
pleasant noise and to be handled with
ease. Should this change be found
feasible it will make a revolution in
tlie whole street car system, and great
ly reduce its cost ot operation.
The Illinois Railroad Commissioners
have completed their schedule for
freight and passenger rules according
to the provisions of the new law. The
law does not go into effect until the
middle of January. The schedule
provides that where one dollar pays
lor freighting any commodity one mile;
twenty cents will carry It ten miles
further, a;id after the first hundred
miles is traveled the rate Is only four
fifths of one cent per mile, for tlie re
maining distance. Passenger rates
are three cents per nille, with 100
pounds of baggage, which Is nearly
one quarter reduction.
Missourtaiow claims to rank second
in the farmers' movement, as regards
the number of granges and their influ
ence. Fifty agents of the State Grange
are busy organizing new granges at
the rate of fifty a week, and it is be
lieved that when tlie movements is
two years old it will number no less
than 2,000 granges. Sleeting? are
held almost dally iti the State, with an
average attendance ranging from 5,000
to 10.000.
The stea mer from Boston to Liver
pool on the Uth. took ItiO steerage
passengers, mill operatives and arti
slans, who return to the old country
because they can not get work here.
How Long Shall We Sleep.
The tact is, that As life becomes con
centrated, and its pursuits more eager,
short sleep and early rising becomes
impossible. We take more sleep than
our ancestors, and we take more be
cause we want more. Six hours' sleep
will do very well for a ploughman or
a brick layer, or any other man who
has no exhaustion but that produced
by manual labor, and the soonner he
takes it after his labor is over, the bet
ter. But for a man whose labor is
mental, the stress of work , Is on his
brain and nervous system, and for him
who is tired in ti.e evenhig with a day
of mental application, neither early to
bed nor early to rise Is wholesome.
He needs letting down to the level of
repose. The longer the Interval be
tween the active use ot the brain and
Ills retirement to bed, the better his
chance for sleep and refreshment. To
him an hour after midnight is probably
as good as two hours before it, and
even then his sleep will not so com
pletely and quickly restore him as it
will Ids neighbor who Is physically
tired. He must not only go to bed
later, but lie longer. His best sleep
probably lies In the early morning
hours, when all tlie nervous excite
ment has passed away, and he is in
absolute rest.
A man who was discovered
among a lot of tombstones in a
asleep
stone
cutters yard said on being awakened,
that tie had come in to buy a monu
ment for himself, and having picked
out one, made up his mind he would
try it one night before purchasing.

ALBAXY ASD NAOTIAM CANAL.
The Albany and Sautiam Canal
Company would respectfully call the
attention of the public and especially
the Capitalist and those desiring to
engage in manufacturing, to their
gigantic water power and water priv
ilege. Sixteen thousand cubic feet
constantly flowing every minute, equal
to 800 horse power, with from S to 30
feet fall, sufficient for the most ex'en
sive machinery, with ground on which
to erect the necessary buildings, etc.
The Company deem it but projierthat
the nubile should know more fully the
locality of this great water power,' its
facilities and surroundings, iu order
that those unacquainted may form
some estimate of its value.
The city of Albany is tlie county-seat
of Linn county, located on the south
east bank of' the Willamette river,
about liXftniles south of Portland, by
river, and 80 miles by railroad; south
of Salem 45 miles by river and 30 miles
by railroad, and north of Eugene City
45 miles.
Albany is located in a prairie of the
same name, which is the great agricul-
I .1... 1 1 r 1 1 1 ... .T..I,
uiiai eeniei 01 ine n luameiie v aney,
and it is believed that upward of 500,-.
000 bushels of surplus wheat will be re
ceived at that point, the present season.
The most of It will find its way to for
eign markets, either by boats or rail
road to Portland, and from thence up
on the ocean. The Willamette river
is navigated by beautiful steamers,
carrying from 80 to 300 tons, running
as tar as Albany some ten months iu
the year. Also, the O. & C. R. R ,
with its beautiful locomotives. Is pass
ing through the citv daily. The city
ot Albany is located upon a high, roll
ing prairie, with the (Jalapooia, a beau
tiful creek, flowing into the Willamette
river on the west, the water of which
is used in driving two Large llourin
mills, situated on the bank of the Wii
lamette river. The city is about one
mile in length, running east and west,
and from one-half to three-fourths
of a mile in width, and Is laid off with
streets of good width.
The Canal, which is the subject and
object of this communication, receives
its waters from the South Santiam
river, which heads In the great Cascade
mountains, some 75 miles east of
Albany ; thence running westerly
through a valley of the same name, to
Lebanon, a village! located near the
west bank of said river, 13 miles east
of Albany. The Canal receives the
waters from the Santiam river at that
point, thence running west to its ter
minus at Albany. The main Santiam
flows northward, and empties its
mountain waters into the Willamette
river 10 miles northeast of Albany.
The Canal is brought from Lebanon
through n bcautifnipralrie for a dis
tance of 12 miles, and empties into the
Willamette river, forming on Its way
and in the city some of the finest water
powers for manufacturing purposes
found on the Pacific eoatt. There are
but tew, if any, points hi the State
which surpasses Albany now, for man
ufacturing facilities. Cheap water
power and easy of access, and conven
ient transportation, either by water or
railroad, and the location beautiful aud
healthy.
The Canal Company offers liberal
inducements to persons desiring to en
gage in the business ot manufacturing,
and will furnish water power upon the
most reasonable terms. Manufactur
ing of all kinds Is heeded iu Oregon,
and could be made profitable. The
Canal Company will agree to furnish,
within sixty days, any water power
needed, from a button factory to that
of a locomotive.
Immigrants aiW others are earnestly
Invited and requested to visit Albany
and examine for themselves. Real
property can yet be procured on very
reasonable terms, both iu and out of
the city. Our eople compare favor
ably with the rest ot mankind, morally
socially, politically and financially.
