Lafayette Lane, although repeatedly asked, has railed, up to this time, to a -ewer yea' or'ray when the question was Asked him, are you in favor of a divis ion of the school funds? The Demo cratic praty of Oregon hi State Conven tion refused to put itself on record as opposed to the - division of the School -funds, f while the Re publican party plainly places itself on record as firmly opposed 'to any soch division. The Democratic party' has tried to dodge the hsne, hoping thereby to eorrall the entire. Roman Catholic vote, and at the came time secure a full Protestant vote. An announcement that the Democratic party w opposed to a division of the cchoel 'funds, would be a loss of the Catholic 'support in this Stater while -the opposite would bo to lose the son Catholic vote. This beinj the case, the Deraooratio Convention ignored the is--sue, not faring to put itself apoa the Tccord, Jeaviug politicians to assert that tither was the policy; ot the party, as iroamstauces , and inclination suited. It might be politic in one section of the country to swear that .the "Democratic party - Was sternly opposed to' a division of the leohool funds,: while in another scctiop a? direct 'y opposite policy most be pursued, or a large "vote would be lost to the party candidate. This being the case Mr. Lane will hardly dare put bimself on record as opposed or in favor of each division.

Aubaht ILegxstzb: -To-day the hop harvest opens with, its usual prom ising prospect, and as w think this species of produce has uot received the attention due to its financial worth, we propose to notice some ofthe' facts re lative to the first suooessful hop-yard in the State of Oregon. ' -' UOP8, - . j Tlie fact that the hop is a valuable article for trade! Leeds 110 investigation; but whether or not Oregon; soil and climate were adapted to its propagation was not certain, until one Mr. Wm. Wells, of this vicinity concluded to try the experiment, aiid at once secured roots enough, of the best variety, to plant five acres, which proved snccess. ful enough io two Tears' growth to warrant an additional -five acres. ' Oh account of - limited mea;m, Mr. Wells advanced or increased his hop acreage ouly as rapidly as the proceeds of a small farm would sustaiu himself and family and keep np. tho. necessary ex penses. . f ;?- - - ' i .Tlie new production soon drove him to the necessity of learning the art of gathering, curing and baling in a marketable shape, which involved some nice points in the business, and required tlie best information obtainable, partic ularly for a novice. " Bnt it only ro- quires a little energy, and perseverance to overcome all obstacles in the way of success in Willamette soil ad climate. So the necee-ary infbnnatiou was obtained so correctly, that hot a singlo failure has occurred during eight ears cultivation. PROFITA CLKK ESS OF TOE CROP. With regard 'to tlie profits of this branch of agriculture, we have carefully interviewed Mr. Wells, and are pre pared to give the following figures as the result, ot eight years experience: The second year's crops was equal to ,000 pounds, or lialf a ciop, per acre. Since then, for five successive years, ,000 pounds per acre, in round ' num bers, has been gathered from tlie same plants., -The present harvest is, greater thau any 3-et gathered. Tho expense of running the yard amounts to a little less than $100 per acre, allowing $2 per day for all labor performed. A Tho sales tor the past six years have averaged 35o per pound, leaving the handsome profit of $60) per acre, olear ot all expense. Jdany otiers, latterly, are engaging in the business in ; the vicinity, with favorable prospects. There are now, teres bouts, some two hundred acres or more growing the bop. The hop fields Itavo a beautiful ap- pearanco, while the business is certainly very lucrative. Iu tlie first place, tliey are planted in parallel rows,eitlier way eight feet apart. Poles, eighteen feet org, are set upright near each plant,' to bear up tlie Arine. Ab at the middle ot June the. vines reach the top ot the poles and begin to cast - out their run ners, which soon reach across the entire space and twine together in mutual sup port. The liar vest begins about, : tho first of September, at which time ; there has grown a complete network of vines from the pole tops, shading ' the whole surface of tho field, like a great Banyan tree. On the polos and nnderneath the green fuliage hang the clusters otyel'ow vintage, waiting tlie hand ot the pickers Tlie labor of gathering or picking tliO hop so far has been performed by ythe aborigines, and requires about twenty days, with thirty r hands to ten acres. Twenty-four woman do the work, l and six lords of the forest see that: the work is done in good order and ,ime, and treasure the : money. 5 This, 'you see, is boxiness. . ? V1 ti j .... , rouncAL. - - I . And ju6t,here we will remark that the pioneer hop man, "Mr. Wells, is, to say the least, semi-consistent in his political proclivities. Mcii's characters are mold. ed largely by the smiles and frowns of fortune, and ..their political action almost entirely by ; tlieir ' monetary interests--so the pioneer, hop. grower, Mr. W., cannot reasonably support a, woman's snffrage policy, .but . lie , will not support i-are lAiie tor Congress, ".; r.m.h.

' , ' Sickness is sometimes imaginary, but in sudi cases it does 110 good to deride or to scold; so it ' is sometimes with what is called, nervousness it is useless to make light of it; the feeling of suffer ing is the same as if it were real. In such cases sympathy is oftentimes a more efficient remedy thau derision or impatient epithet.- "Bear ye one an other's burdens' is a mural medica mentum of great efficacy. However healthy a man may be, anxietv for to-morrow bread will soon undermine the strongest constitution; hence the French returns officially announce- that the well-to-do average eleven years longer lite than those who ive by their daily labor. If a man is healthy and well-to-do, and is not busy in his calling he will seldom fail to become dyspeptic, intemperate or rest less, and die prematurely. i Habits of regularity, temperance, cleanliness and exercise become a second nature in the course of years; their performance a pleasure, their infraction a discomfort; while the nse of beverage of ale, beer, cordials, cider and other drinks containing alcohol; or the em ployment of tobacco iu chewing, smok ing or snuffing, and tlie over-indu'gence of thi propensities, becomes a slavery, an ircn despotism, ' which io ' the end 1 chases . the . heart, nndcrmines the health and destroys lite, making a miserab'o wreck of oul, body and estate together. UEUfilOll SOTXS. Since the debate in tho Italian Parlia ment, in which the Government was ac cused of laxity in enforcing tlie law's con cerning the Church, a circular has been issued to the Procurators-General stat ing that all Bishops who have not ap plied for and received the royal exequa tur will be removed from their sees. It is stated that , in consequence of this order the Archbishop of Palermo has been intoi mod that be must leave his episcopal residence. .w The General Synod of the Evangel. ical Lutheran Church iu the United States, which recently met at Baltimore, declined the proposition of tlie General Council for a Colloquiam by a vote of 66 to SO.

The, Wer tern papers record a rather roraatic suicide of recent occurrence in Kansas City. Tlie victim of his own rashness was Algernon C. Merwin, one ot the four "fast" Englishmen vvho last Wi.iter rented the old Denver .Theater aud engaged a full" variety troupe from Chicago' to open it in grand style. The young "lords" looked upon their enter prise through golden spectacles, .1 hey not only invested all tliey had, pawned their wardrobes, jewelry and : hunting equipage, but they ran. into debt and anticipated their quarterly allowance. Their theatrical speculation proved disastrous. Their creditors .wrote to Engand to their references, and then came the trouble. The aristocratic relations of tlie romantic young men paid their debts, disowned the culprits, and cut off their quarterly allowance. .Tlie result was tour fast young meu thrown upon "the town" iu Denver. Merwin cleared out and went to Kanras City, where he secured an engagement at tlie Olympic Varieties, but made a fadure. He next turned up under an assumed name in the kitchen of the Lindcll Hotel. He could speak five languages, and had he possessed a small modicum of cheek he might have won his way to any position. But he appeared to be helpless as a child, and, when the Lindell Hotel closed, teemed to be cast adrift, unable to help himself. When he went to Colorado, one year ago, he had 1,500 in his pocket, and tad a quarter. y income of 300. When this was cut off he was bankrupt and iu debt, aiid seemed to have lost all de sire to help or save himself. The other evening he slipiwd out of the hotel and disappeared iu the Missouri river. Two negroes gave the a arm, but it was too- late to rescue or even save tho body of tho suicide. SX IEXTIFH' M'HAPS.

' Cadjgan Morgan,in 1785 was the first ; ex crimeiiter who prod need t tlie electrical light in . the interior of solid bodies. He inserted two wires in wood and caused the spark to ass between them. r. The wood was illuminated with blood-red or with yellov light' aocordr ii.g as the depth at which the spark was produced was greater or less. . ilany of our readers have doubtless seen an egg or a series of egg lighted up by being placed 111 tlie tine ot discharge ot. a Leyden jar. An ivory ball, an orange, or an apple may be illuminated, in a similar way According to Tyudall, a lemon is especially suited to. this ex periment, "Hashing forth at every spark. as a spheroid of brilliant golden . light." The wires used for the discharge should In brought wiihiu about half au inch ot each other inside the lemon.
