Oar Relation with Spain, The little trouble between this conn try and Spain, arising out ot the Yirgiiiim affair, has never been settled. Secretary Fish, in trentiug with Spain upon the subject, "was aa lenient aa possible with the infant itepublie, then Struggling with ditriculty and the dan ger of transition from monarchy, in addition to the internal rebellion, be cause he deemed it tlie duty of the na tion to extend such aid as was in its ipower to help found successfully a -government of the people in Spain. 'To this end our demands under the protocol were made with Admiral Polo. Supplementary negotiations, 'while presented in dignified form and -manner, were not prosecuted with such vigor as they now will bear, ne cessity for moral support to Spain, the young republic, having been re moved by the restoration of a mon archy. It will be remembered that some time ago it was announced that Spain had made a settlement with England for indemnity demanded aris ing from the Vlrgtnilts troubles. After this iact beoaine public, Secretary Fish stated that tlie claims ot this Govern ment would be settled iu a manner similar to that with Great Gritain, at an early day. The restoration of a monarchy gives this government a first opportunity to demand a prompt settlement ot all claims, in a manner which cannot be mistaken. The ques tion of sympathy will not enter into the negotiations. - Tlie Don Alfonso Government cannot reject the protocol without its abrogation, and to abro gate a compact as binding on a nation as this would be equivalent to declare war. an event certainly not desired by Spain in view ot existing divisions in political opinions among its people. At lea? t, the acts ot the late Republic, so far as they relate to tlie Virginia indemnity, will be recognized by the new Government, and reparation, so far as money can atone for our griev ances, will be very soon made.'-' The telegraph informs m that Secretary Fisb had an extended interview with the President on Saturday last, when the subject cf the Vfrginius trouble was lully discussed. As a result, the President, who has long been restive under the policy of the State Depart ment in this matter, has decided upon a vigorous and decisive course at once. A member of the House Foreign Af fairs Committee, who, also, has been strongly opposed to the cause of the .Secretary In this matter, lias publicly stated that a time must come for the nation to assume a more aggressive policy. . " The political troubles in Louisiana seem to be growing worse. Gen. Sheridan has been seut there to re lieve Gen. McDowell, and the Con gressional Investigating Committee are at work trying to get at the bot tom or real causes of the trouble. Sheridan telegraphs to the Secretary of War that life and property are ter ribly insecure there, and advises the arrest ot .' the leaden , of , the : White Leaguers, m His telegram Is denounced as false, and his advice pronounced -barbarous. In the mean time the Committee, we hope, will make a full and unbiased examination of all the causes that have been and now are at work creating such a deplorable zstate of affairs in Louisiana, and that immediately upon the receipt of the report Congress will proceed to apply the proper remedy accord ing to law and the evidence before it. ; Washington Xtwm. ; ' ?n House.

We at least intend doing our duty toward our fellow-men, by print ing from time to time facts, gathered from reliable sources, leading to a better understanding of tlie laws of health. We produce, therefore, belo w, an article on '-licarty suppers," taken from a late number of the Science of Health, which should be carefully read: Eating a hearty meal nt the close of the day is like giving a laboring man a full day's work to do just as night sets iu, although he has been toiling all day. The whole body is fatigued when night sets in. the stomach takes its due share, and to eat heartily at supper and then go to bed Is giving all the other portions and functions of tlie body repose, while the stomach has thrown upon It tour or five hours more of additional work, after having already labored four or five hours to dispose of breakfast, and a still longer time for dinner. This ten or twelve hours of almost Incessant work has nenrly exhausted Its power: it cannot promptly digest another full meal, but labors at It for long hours together, like an exhausted galley-slave on a newly-Imposed task. The result Is that br the unnatural length of time which the food Is kept Iu the stomach, and the Imperfect man ner In which the exhausted organ manages It, It becomes more or less acid; this generates wind, this distends the stomach, this presses Up itself against the more yielding lungs, con fining them to a largely diminished space ; hence every breath taken Is Ill sufficient for the wants of the system, the blood becomes foul, black, and thick, refuses to flow, and the man dies, or iu delirium or fright leaps irviu a muuow, or COOijilM SlllCtUe. Let any rcaibr who follows an in active life for the most part, try the experiment for a week of eating abso lutely nothing after a one or two o'clock dinner, and see if a sounder sleep and a vigorous appetite for break fast and a hearty dinner are not the pleasurable results, to say nothing of tlie happy deliverance from that disa greeable fullness, weight, oppression, or acidity which attends over-eating. Tlie great tenovating and vivacity which a long, delicious, and connect ing sleep imparts, both to mind and body, will of themselves more than compensate for the certainly short and rather dubious pleasure of eating a supper with no special relish. In the race over the Seattle course on the 1st Inst, for fa,i00. Osceola won the race easily in three straight heats. Time 1:50, 1:54 and 1:54. Tom Merry and Osceola were the only contestants.

A Coos county sheep raiser came to the State Fair at Salem last fall, and while there he saw a red haired man sitting In a stall on some straw, with a black-and-white dog. and a card over the stall marked "Dorg fersall."

Our Coos county wool-producer told him that he would see him again, and went off to borrow 10 of Dad Yoakum, who was admiring several fine horses belonging to Gen. Xesmith. He then came back and bought the dog, pay ing the conlne's fare ($3) on the cars to Roseburg. Two days later he arrived home, and it oeing nearly dark his wife asked what he- intended to do with the dog. Well, lie said, he guessed it was about as well to turn him out with the sheep.

They began the per formance laft Saturday nightJr Their dances are nearly all of a religious character. Many others tribes have dances that are rude plays, there being much acting in them, as in the Sioux Buffalo Dance, War Dance and Scalp Dance, and the Winnebago Bear Dance. In all these dances there are two or more parties, and In acting helr respective characters they merely regulate their movements by the music the advance, retreat, sway ings ot the body and motions of the hands and feet. The dancing of the Piutes is strikingly similar, to the re ligious dances of the Shakers. The Piutes form a ring, the men in one part of it and the women in another, and go shuffling 'round and 'round edgewise while the Shakers shuffle straight ahead. The singing .of tlie Piutes is no more monotonous and dismal than is that of the Shakers. Gold Hill (A'ec.) News.

They cure not only the every day com plaints cf every body, but formidable and dangerous diseases.

It thoroughly expells the disease, so that no Liver Complaints. Rheumatism, Neural gia. Dysentery or Debility follow theure. Indeed, where Disorders of the Liver and Bowels have occurred from Miasmatic Poison, It removes tlie cause of them and they disappear. Not only Is it an effectual core, but, if taken occasionally by patients exposed to malaria, it will expel the poison and protect them from attack. Travellers and temporary residents In ever and Azue localities are thus enabled to defy the disease. The General Debility which is so apt to ensue from continued exposure to Malaria and Miasm, has no speedier remedv. For IAver Complaints, it U an excellent remedy. Dr.'Jf. l.

Sewlngr Hicblnt Sales off 11173. The table of Sewing Machine gales for 1873 shows that our sales last year am ounted to 283,444 (two hnndred and thirty two thousand, four hundred and orty-fonr) fMachlnes, being a large in crease over the sales of the previous year (1873.) The table also shows that ottr sales Ex ceed those of any other Company, for the period named, by the number of 113. SS4 Machines, or nearly double those of any other Company. It may lie further stated that the snles of 1873, as compared with those of 1H72, show a relatively larger increase, beyond the sales of other uiakers,iA.han ot any nthnr vinir. ; y .' -.-a--. For Instance in 187i we sold 45,000 more. Machines tiian ny 01 net uuuiwix, wuere as, in 1873, 'the sales were . -113,804 MaehiiM-e Iu Exeeaa. of oar Hhrheat Competitor. These figures are all the more remark able, for the lea-son that the sales of the principal Com)anie in 1873 are less than their sales in 1872; whereas, as has been shown, oar sales have largely increased. The account of sales is from tuvrn rrtitrm made to the owners of tbeSewing Machine Patents. It will havdlv lie denied, that the superi ority of the SINGER MACHINES Is fully demonstrated at all events that their popularity in the household Is unques tionable. . j Increase Name of - Xo.
