The latest delicacy in the bird line, offered in market, is the "thunder pumper," which when properly put upon the table, is said to be an epi curean dish. Thunder-pumper!

Young is boss con tractor in putting up the Plummer business house, the dimensions of which are 20x40 feet, one story frame. M. M. Hart, before finishing his neat dwelling on Railroad street, concluded it wasn't large enough, and has had the carpenter's at work adding an addition. About this time of year the merry and jocose sprinkler wagon man throws himself in sight, green gog gles and all, serenely squirting his water up and down First street, most effectually keeping down the dust. The latest thing invented for the convenience t the housewife, is the socket broom. The broom has a socket (pautented, of course), from which the handle may be taken and returned at pleasure. The broom can be round at o. v.. Young's, and is certainly the best broom ever brought to this city. The broom is certain to please the ladies. 'J. Zoller Crouse" is the name given oy win. uira to a tour- months old bay colt, sired by Ephl Maynard, out ot a Messenger-Com et.

Brigadier General O. O. How. ard, who was prominently identified with ihe Freedmen's Bureau estab lished during the war of the re bellion, arrived here last evening, en route to Portland, Oregon, the headquarters of the Department of the Columbia. Gen. Howard re lieves Rrevet Rrigadier General Jefferson C. Davis, Colonel of the Twcnty-third Infantry, who has been ordered to his regiment in the Department ot the Platte. Gen. Davis superseded Gen. Gillem, Colonel of the First Cavalry, as commander of the expedition against the Modoc Indians, a few days after the massacre of April 26, 1873, and brought the war to a speedy and eminently satisfactory termination in about one month. The Depart, ment at Washington paid General Davis the compliment of allowing him to use his brevet title officially, and at the close ot the Indian diffi culties assigned him to the com-, maed of the Department of the Columbia. Thus were his services recognized by the Government, The command of the Columbia De partment, at the time ot its assump tion by General Davis, was oue of the most important in the gift of the Government on account of the unsettled condition of the Indians, Rut at the present time that depart ment is hardly heard ot. The De partraents ofthe Platte and Arizona are those upon which public inter- est centers just now. lo the un initiated it seems somewhat singular that the Department should relieve General Davis from the command of the Columbia Department, but the tacts ot the ease are not generally understood. General Davis is the junior Colouel commanding the Do-. partment., and, according to the regulations, when a Brigadier Gen-. oral came into active service it was necessary for the junior Department commander to retire. Hence the change of General Davis. On the whi le, however, General Davis has. cauce for congratulation. The head-, quarters of the Twenty-third In-. itry are at Fort D. A. Russell, From this point scouting expedi tions start in operating against the Sioux. General Davis will find himself in the center of active scenes. He will have numerous opportuni ties for the display of bis executive abilities and dauntless bravery, and no doubt he wil make tro4i points, for hii alrea-ly creditable ivcord as an Indian fighter. General Davis wil' leave Portland tor his new post, of duty upon the arrival of Geuera Howard. & F, Bulletin, 7
