It is reported the President Las now tendered the festoon of Commissioner of Indirfn Affairs to Congressman Wm If. Upson, of Ohio. Since the purchase of the Suez canal, England has 6ent two accountants to balance the books of the Khedive and set his finances in order. The St. Petersburg Galois says the incessant raids on Russian territory prove the necessity for the occupation of the remainder ot Khokand -by Russian troops. Governor Allen has appointed J. 3Iillilicn,of Butler county, Treasurer, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Isaac Welch. .Upprecedentedly cold feather1 for the season is reported from all sections of New England, the mercury ranging from four to - fourteen degrees below zero. . , Immense Loss. A London telegram of 'Nov. lOtK says : The estimated damage done in London and neighbor hood by high tides to-day will reach $5,000,000. Wolwich Arsenal Grouud are partly submerged. Mr. Doromy was killed by the kick of a horse some, time ago. Neighbors of the widow gathered ou her farm a few days since and prepared the land for next harvest, cut wood for the winter, and dng her crop of potatoes. Good neighbors.

The court deferred pronouncing sentence. y Eugene Sue was very rich he inher ited great wealth from his father, and his house in Paris was as sumptuous as it was artistically furnished; his servants wore silk stockings and presented his letters to him on a f silver salver not bad . for a professional radical. He wrote always in white kids. 1 . The Fbers papyns ' roll ' discovered and translated by Prof. Ebers, , is an Egyptian Medical treatise written just 3,400 years ago, according to the commonly received chrono'ogy, when Moses was just 21 years old. Chapters 65, 66, 79 aud 80, show that hair invig orators, bah dyes, pain-killers, and flea powders, were desiderata ev.n at that early period. During the first success at Drary Lane, Kean overheard a lot of old stage carpenters discussing ' the various per formers of "Hamlet", they had seen in their day. f Well," said one,"you may talk of Henderson, and Kemble, and this new man, bat give me ' Bannister's 'Hamlet. He was always done twenty mi notes sooner than , any : one of 'em." A JTerakl special from London says -the Royal Geographical Soiety met again and congratulated Sir. Stanley for his successful African explorations.

Locators of mining claims have exclusive - right of - possess ion of the surface ,- embraced in their clalrr.9 and of the timber- growing thereon on compliance with the United States and local laws. , ' . , Tl.o feeling in regard to "annexation" in 1 7dIIa Walla U growing daily.

Z" Ki'y Wolfd i3 said to be the rlO -.wr:'.! in Arrerloa, her income, ! ficn. Crook and the Indian. In view of the lato reports from the Black Hills and the Cheyenne and Sioux county, the following from a letter which appears in the Sioux City Times will be not without interest : - For some months it has leen a matter of the wild est conjecture as to what the large pack trains ot Mexican jacks were being organized for at and in the neighbor hood ot Cheyenne. Several hundred packjacks have for weeks been centered in the neigb rhood of Fort Russel and no person, not even the officer in command of the post, was let into the secret use to which they were to be put. The writer of this knows whereof he speaks, and the following are the facts : The post or military camp in the Black 1 litis is to be moved out. Gen. Crook, commander of the department of the Platte, has for some time past prophesied and looked forward to an Indian war in the event the commissioners appointed to treat for the Black Hills failed in their mission with the Indians. The General is an old Indian fighter and means business. He proposes to make a winter's campaign against tlie Indians, which is the only manner in which they can be successfully punished. He will have do wagons cr commissary stores. The pack-train is to accomjwiny the cav alry to carry their supplies while pursue- ing the Indians. As soon as the pack. animals are to be killed and the cavalry to pack what food they can on their horses. When the food is gone they are then to kill their horses and eat horse meat and still koep up their pursuit ot the Indians, who when overtaken, are to get such a chastisement as will teach them that for once in many years they are to receive a dose of the medicine that was formerly administered to them by Sully and Harney. That an Indian war is imminent is now heyoud question, and that Gen. Crook is fully prepared tor it will be demonstrated in a few w(;eks. .Says the Burlington Hawkeye: Brief ly stated, our filiate al views are these : Tiebacks are better than greenbacKs. They are in greater demand ; they are more constantly in circulation ; they are always boyant, dreadfully boyant ; they are always good for their face, and are always quoted above Par, or mar either. Capt. Sawyer Conduct. From the Victoria Colonist we copy the following, which shows how the heartless conduct ot Capt. Sawyer is there regarded : When the Captain of the Orpheus was told there was a hail and cries of distress from the steamship, it was but natural that he should first concern himself about the' safety pof his-own' vessel and ascertain that she had not sustained damage sufficient to cause her destruction. lie says, that he sounded the pomps and found her making no water, and then goes on to say that the bail ot "ship ahoy!" from the steamer was reported to him by the man at the wheel. Having ascertained tliat his 6hip was all right he "commenced to shorten sail;" but why did he not put about and run dowu to the steamer ? The hail must have shown him plainly that the steamship needed assistance ; and it seems strange that if cries of distress from the people on the steam ship were heard by others on board the ship that the Captain did not hear them. We trust we shall not be considered as judging this man harshly, or adding one pang to the anguish which (if he be animated by the common dictates ot humanity) must wring his heart when we say it is perfectly clear that it he had answered the hail, ran down to the steamer and sent bis boats to the rescue, not a soul of the large company that perished so miserbly almost within sight of our harbor need have been lost. The agony of mind our friends on the steam ship suffered as they saw the lights ot the ship fade away and realized that they were left to their fate must have been ' terrib'e indeed. All the facts connected with this disaster will never be known; but enough has come to hand to show that there was culpable care lessness on the one side or the other; that on the part ot the steamship there was a lack of discipline and a want of speedy and safe methods for launching the boats ; and that on the part of - the ship there was (an apparent) indifference to the cries of distress which arose from the sinking people. We trust that tnis matter will be sifted to the bottom, and that the brand of responsibility tor the lofs ot life and property will be indelli blv affixed to the jrailty parties to be worn noon thesr brows as a mark of Cain to designate them as murderers, ' Sorely the President will not pardon Des Anges, who has been convicted ot conspiring with other scoundrels to de fraud the revenue of an immense amount. The crime of his confederate smugglers is light compared with his,for they were not engaged and paid by the Govern ment to prevent smuggling; he adds deliberate and long-continued perfidy to fraud; and were it not that President Grant has bestowed pardons in maoy other very "bad cases we would never dream of uttering a note of warning now: ' - Private advices assert that the Cuban General De Janginitibas slain a Span ish force of 300 men, under Co I. Cam. peilo, at the intersection of the main turnpike, running tfi rough the center of the island, , and , the road leading to Ilemedios. A decoying force of sharp shooters was deployed to lead tliem into ambuscade ivhere they were attacked by the main body of rebels. Ilo-n-i Eery. P. Avery, Minister to China, is reported dead.' " ' Paetiie glairs A G5 pound squash has been sent tc Astoria from Sauvie's Island. The late storms have left the streets ot Astoria in a deplorable condition. The Corvallis College and all other schools of that city are unusually well attended this winter. D. W. Overton has resigned the marshalship of Astoria, and B. B. Turley has been nppointed in his stead. No lumber can be had at Indepen dence for love or money. Parties wish ing to build must wait or send to Salem One day last week, Roy, a little son of Judge- Hurly, of Lafayette, fell against a red hot stove and badly burn ed the side ot his face and hands. Mr. Atterbury of Eugene, fired two shots at a burglar who was trying to get into his father's residence, one night last week. Unfortunately the shots did not take effect. i , . The citizens of Jefferson did not re gale on roast turkey and chicken pie Thursday, as is their wont on Thanks giving. The reason is that some one put out poisoned meat for the dogs of the town, and the afore-mentioned fowls did partake thereof, and did die. L. G. Suiter, of Lafayette, met with a serious accident a few days sines. He was running a saw at the furniture estab lishment of Smith & Co., when the saw struck a knot and flew off", .j Before he could stop the forward motion of his arm the saw struck his hand and tore the flesh from the thumb and index finger. The Salem JiTercury says : "Some two or three year9 aro, old farmer Whit lock, who resides in the vicinity of Sil verton, 'got religion,' and ever since that time his mind has been elevated so much above the affairs of this world that he has declined to pay his taxes. Not long 6ince he run off his family, and now is "monarch of all he surveys," and defies the tax collector and every one else. Some think him insane. Be that as it may, a party leave to-day with the intention of bringing the old man to a realizing sense of his condition, being armed with a warraut for i his arrest." The sh:p Longfetioint third vessel with steel rails for the railway, has arriv ed at Royal Roads. - The Colonist says Mr. Justice Crease was presented with a pair of kids . at Westminster, there being no criminal cases for trial. ! A telegram received from Mr. Rob- ison, pay-master of - the railway forces, states that he has arrived at 'Cache Creek after a hard trip from: Kamloops, the cold being intense. I Mr. D. N. Allen, ot the firm of Crane, Hastings & Co., "arrived at Victoria from San Francisco by the Salvador to take charge ot the remains of Mr. Hast ings, who was lost on the Pficijlc. If the rudder found at Bentinck Island proves to be the Pacfi?a the Colonist deems tl at the evidemce is conclusive that the steamship, was split from stem to stern. If the hull had re mained intact the rudder could not have broken away in the manner it seem3 to have done. M In delivering his change to the grand jury at New Westminster Judge Crease said : "In view ot the late terrible dis aster, he might say that the manner in which public carriers, by land and wa ter, discharged their duties was a matter upon which the grand jury might report The terrible waruins we had should teach us to look at home, and see weth er there were not some things to be set in order." I i Hon. L. F. Lane started for Wash ington, D. C, last week. Several new books will shortly be added to the Oregon Citv library. The Oregon and California Stage Company change to winter time on the lotb. . Williams creek, in Josephine, is f till so high as to delay the mail several hours." -'". '." .'. The Governor has issued an offical proclamation of the result of the election in this State. Capt. Griffin, last week, killed a bear near Japksonville weighing about 300 pounds, near his farm. ! The mail carrier reports all the bridges down between Jacksonville and Rose- burg aud two .teet ot snow on the mountains. i Considerable freight for Jacksonville is yet lying at Roseburg, and ; several teams are having a rough time trying to get it through. j Prof. C.

" An exchange says Thanksgiving Day didn't appear to rack the mind of any. body in Eugene City much. As usual, the business honr-es were open, and the churches closed. ' ; Messrs Craig and Finn, mail carriers on the MeKenzie and Ochoco route, ex perienced rongh weather on their Jasf trip. Mr." Craig was out 48 hours in the cold and wet without; food or fire, The miners of Josephine county ex pect a successful mining season, as water is plenty and liable to continue so. Those who are not already at work are busily engaged making preparations to get at mining as soon as possible. The State Board of Public Instruc tion held a meeting at Salem Nov. 26th, at which time Mrs. John Gray, who has served a term of years as Matron of the Deaf Mute School, tendered her resigna tion of that position and Mrs. Frank Cooper was appointed to fill the vacan cy. ; One day last week a family by the name of Hall, attempted to cross Wil liams creek, Josephine county, which at the time was considerably swollen by the late storms, and when near the mid dle tfhe wagon upset, spilling the whole lot into the creek and drowning one of the children. . J. E. Bowes, agent of the English company owning the extensive placer mines at Galice creek, reports that dig ging on the ditch to convey water from the creek will soon be suspended until next summer, when it doubtless will be finished. Work by hydraulics will soon commence. Mrs. Lottie Ream, chairman of the centennial commitee for Lane county, calls upon the. ladies of that county to aid in the work ot securing for the coun ty an honorable representation on that occasion. Relics of antiquity, works of art and fancy work of all kinds aue ear nestly requested. Pressed leaves, wild flowers, mosses, grasses, ferns, and all plants common or peculiar to our State are desired. , Article one of the by-laws oi the Na tional Grange, reads as follows : "The fourth day ot December, the birthday ot the Patrons ot Husbandry, shall be celebrated as the anniversary of the Or der." In accordance with the above, Monmouth Grange has voted to have a meeting at their hall, commencing at 10 o'clock of said day of December, 1875. Dinner will be served in the hall, speeches made, and a good time gener ally is hoped -for. A fracas occurred between some Indi ans at Fairchild's ranch, on Butt ecreek Jackson county, a ftw days ago, in which one of them got a dose ot six leaden pellets from a pistol in hands of another one.. It appears an Indian named Stephen A. Douglas, who was given to John Fairchild when about 5 years old, and raised by him, got into a fight with another Indian, whose name we did not learn, atid after trying it awhile with their fists and Stephen A. Douglas getting the worst of it, he went off and-got. bis4itsol audwonnd up the argument by putting six balls into his opponent. A half-breed Indian kept the other Indian off with his pistol while Stephen A. did his little piece ot target shooting. At last accounts the Indian 6hot was not dead, though it was e.xpecte lie soon would be. Levi Lcland, the Total Abstinence lecturer, has organized a Lodge of Good Temp'ars with 40 members in Victoria, under the title of British Columbia Lodge, No. 1. A schoolteacher nameJ A. W. Brodt, of the San Leaudro Unioji School, Cali fornia, is before the court for having caused the severe illness of a pupil a small boy by cruel punishment. He had ordered the little fellow to go up and down a stairway of twenty-nine steps 1280 times. On the 25th time down the lad fainted, was carried home and had to keep his bed for two weeks. When we come to consider that under the most severe goal system in England the strongest convicts are subjected to 18,000 steps of the treadmill in one day, and then find that this -lad was sentenc ed to walk 37,120 steps up and down, or four times as much ot a task as the English grown convicts, in the severest prisons in that country have imposed upon them ; we can reasonably realize the inhumanity 'of the teachei in the case before us. All such teachers deserve dis missal and punishment besides. "Oh, these ugly ; old States, I've got to bound them all," was the half perplexed and very impatient ejacula tion ot the eight-year old little lady bothering" her play-hankering brain over her geography lesson at home. "Why don't they put 'em all in one place ?" And the child in saying it was simply mother to the woirjan. just as the boy is father to the man. Like all of ns she prefers to slide down the grade of Ease and is averse to climbing the hill of Difficulty. Who can blame her for is not example her guide at last ? Kalama, November 27. Last night about 11 o'clock, while the steamship Gussie Telfair was steaming down the river, on her way to Victoria, she struck on a rock at. Waterford, about 40 miles below here. She stove several holes in her bow, and is now beached on the Washington Territory side. - There is about ten feet ot water in her forward compartments. She had about 125 tuns of freight and a small list of passengers on board. ' The passengers and fifty tons ot freight were transferred to the steam er Emma Hayward this morning and taken back to Portland. The rest ot the freight is a total loss. " v ' Some white msn tackled some Indians in a game of poker to-day, says the Austin Reveille, but the son of the forest rung in a cold deck and cleaned up all the money on the blanket, aud then the pale faces, said be was a son ot some !" thing ele than the forest. A Munchausen Story. The Sonora Democrat of the 2d has the following : As the Sonora and Mil ton stage was leisurely approaching Tuttletown on Wednesday evening, dogs were heard baying opposite a deep cut just ahead. As the stage approach ed, there was a terrible racket in the brush, the dogs made a grand rush, and a huge California lion bounded aboard and seato4 himself by the side of the only outside passenger a Chinaman. The Chinaman only gave a momentary glance before be yelled, "Me no likee I All same China devil, good by John," and then the driver and his strange pass enger had the outside to themselves. By this time the team had become res tive and started on a half gallop down the grade, pursued by the dogs. As Sam had .a splendid stretch ot road ahead, he had ample time to note the. graceful bearing of the liou, aud he says the animal in the most engaging manner imaginable showed, him the finest set of teeth he ever saw in his life. Iu a few minutes the stage emerged into an open fiatfwith cattle feeding on either side, and as the vehicle came whirling along enveloped iu a cloud of dust, the bark ingot the dogs and the growling of the lion became so violent that it stampeded the cows and horses. By this time Sam began to perceive that affairs were get ting a little mixed, and he gave the lion a cut with his whip, when he sprang upon the nearest cow and play ed circus until she bucked him off in the neighboring brush. Sam says that the last he heard ot the lion he was mowing a swath through the brush and "wal lopping" the dogs right and left. A Washington special says: Advices re ceived through naval sources, set at rest, apparently, the newest story regarding the sudden activity in the Navy Department. The extraordinary expenditure of Secre tary Robeson during the past month have been ot such character, and so continuous, that even the officers of the Treasury, through whose hands money has passed, have been amazed and startled. That some good reason, or plausible excuse, tor the consideration ot Congress, exists lor this immense outlay, has been generally conce ded. " Various explanations have been made, but no adequate reason has yet been suggested. The newest explanation for activity in the Navy ii a very plausible one at first sight. It relates to carrying out the protocol between Admiral Polo and Secretary Fish, requiring the punishment of persons connected with the massacre of the onicrs mid crew of the Virglnius. The protocol in question was signed .Nov. 29, 1S73, and provided that Spain should proceed against t'.ie persons who committed the massacre, before a competent court, and inflict punishment on those who may have offended. It has been claimed that the Spanish Government, instead ol carry ing out this agreement, has allowed the officers to escape, and has even promoted the principal offender. Gen. Burriell, under whose orders the orew ot the Virginius were executed. This lias been the subject of correspondence between the two Government.-?; but the subject hits' not reached a point where it was necessary for the United States to assume a threatening at titude. It can be stated on the highest authoiity, that the non-fulfillment, on the part of Spain, of the protocol . relative to the authors of the massacre, has been the determining cjui-e.of the noval activity, as the conmiuiiieation received from Madrid, at the State Department, yesterday, states that the Spanish Cabinet has decided to carry out the protocol by proceeding to try Uurriell, and other officers' who murdered the Viryinius prisoners. According to cable dispatches receiv ed from London by prominent Spaniards here, the recent reconstruction of the Spauish Cabinet implies the appoint ment of Gen. Jovellar to relieve Gen. Valmaseda from the command of the islaud of Cuba. Our old friend, Ira :aytield, Esq., has associated with him 'Mr, 1$. SI. Washburn, aud they are now issuing the Walla Walla iSjji.u' semi-weekly.

Men who say or think "There is no God," finally bring up in, the clutches of Old Nick, and praying for any God to rescue them, f It's nonsense to call King Alfonso the sheet anchor of Spain." He's only a little buoy. And yet the verse writer wished, if he didh't hope, for "A wind that follows fast," and all that which goes before. Even buoys always hold their beads above water. "Father, do yon Ilka mother?'' you?" "Of course 6he does." ''Did she ever say so?" "Many a time, my son." "Did she marry you because she loved you?" "Certainly .she did."
