They ought to be sent back for wishing to go in such odi ous company. The Universities of Glasgow and Aberdeen have elected a Conservative to Parliament. His last name is Gor don and too much' comes before for space here. He will take it to Parliament with him. It is rumored that Mr. McCreight, Q.'A. C, will be a candidate for the Mayorality of Victoria at the coming -municipal election. Mayor Drummond will offer himself for re-election. John Bragger & Son, in the hosiery manufacturing line in Manchester, N. IL, have failed for $100,000, and have $30,000 to show for it. . These Braggers hardly ever do pan out. ' 1 - ' : At Urban, Ohio, a saloon keeper named Fuld welder discovered a large vein of. crude petroleum flowing into his well. An examination showed five gallons on the surface of the water. . As a geographical wonder it is stated that the Tweed has been lately seen in the streets of Havana. ' But if is the Boss, not the Scotch river, that per- formed the feat. He reached Cuba in a schooner V :yr-V. , It is said that when a Chinese bank fails all the officers have their heads cat off and flung into a corner with the assets: and it has been five hundred 'years since there was a bank failure in that country. v At Oakland, last Friday, in a trot, mile heats, 3 in 5, in harness, free for all 2:34 horses, for a purse of $200, J. t O.

Her cargo had shifted, her crew were sick, and she had lost some of, her sails. To keep the needy men of Montreal from utter destitution 1,500 of them have been given employment at seven cents an hour. j An incediary put a stop to a suit for possefsion of a frame house in Walla Walla by burning it down. Capt. Arm strong owned it. : At the Walla Walla races, two mile heats, Osceola won easily in 3:44J and 3:48, badly distancing Emma 51c Coraick and Rosa Mansfield. The Democrats have organized a Club at Pendleton, . and Turner, of Umatilla, will at the next meeting move the adoption of the Ohio Infla tion platform. .! More grain has been put in this sea son in Butter creek county, Umatilla, than In any past season, and fine weather has been enjoyed. Improvements are going on. A yield ot 1202 pounds of hops to the acre is the way they do it up in Uma tilla county, and the crop 'was all sold to local brewers, for 16 cents per pound $204 per acre. Pretty good pay. Matt. Carpenter having been charged by the Chicago Tribune with complici ty in the late whisky frauds, writes a let ter to the Tribune, stating that he will 6ue the proprietors thereof for libel, and advises them to be gathering their evi dence toprove their charges. The Democrats have not had the organization of the House of - Represen tatives since 1857, when they elected James L. Orr, of South Carolina, Sp?aR er. At the opening of Congress in 1850 the famous struggle between the two adverse parties commenced. The House began balloting on December 5th, 1859, and on February 1st, 1860, W. L. Pennington was elected. Ever since that time the Democrats, until now, have been in a minority in Congress. Henry Stiles is dead. Dou't know him? Why, ho was the first son of white parents born where Cincinnati now stands, and lived in Detroit when old Cass ran his sword into the ground and broke it in two rather than to submit to the disgrace of surrendering it as Gen. Hull cowardly if not treason ably surrendered, the army under him. He was not the subject of "I Am Sitting on the Stile, Mary." The "style' these days of pull backs is not good tor sitting. ; The Hingham Manufacturing Com pany, of Boston, has failed for $180,000, assets nix, and the Clerk is under arrest for perjury." They call it a fraudulent failure because none of the capital swore to was paid' in. Wherein it differs from the honest firms or companies who have been in the failing line this lively season of bankruptcies seems to be in the non-payment of capital or indebted ness. Honor among thieves does not hold good when the rogues are high toned bankers, manufacturers, mer chants, etc. Think of Duncan, Sher man fc Co. .The suggeetiftu ot the President re garding the school question has, in a measure been acted upon by Representa tive Blaine, who bas proposed a consti tutional amendment, providing that no. State shall make airy law respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting tbe free exercise thereof ; aud no money raised by taxation in any State for the support of publio schools, or derived from any publio fund thereof, or any public land devoted thereto, shall ever be under the control of any religious sect, and that no money or lands so donated shall be divided among religions sects or denominations. According to tbe ancient Egyptian as tronomy there were seven planets two, the son and moon, circling around the earth, the rest circling around the sun, xnese planets tbey arranged in order (beginning with the planet ot tbe long est period), as follows : 1, Satnrn ; 2 Jupiter 3, Mars 4, the Sun ; 5, Ve nus ; 6, Mercury j 7,: Moon. The seven days in order were assigned to the pla net which ruled the first hour," and thus tbe days were named as follows : The SunV day (Suuday); the Moon's .day (Monday, Luodi); Mars day (Tuesday, Mardi) ; Mercury's day (Wednesday, Jlercredi) ; Jupiter's day ' (Thursday, Jeadi) Venusf . day (Friday,3 Veneris desii Vacdredi) j Sa turn's day (Satur day, Italian SaMaio), Dion Cassias, who wrote in the third century ot oar F?-? -ves -this explanation of tbe Egyp. tian Wekj and of the method in which the arranst-mect was derived from their t j-sl. :a'cf astronomy.',' ." ""1 . rsdlvLia HigH School has 50 pupils tli Tfirj&T terra, " , ' - Since Gen. Bbcock has been arraign ed as among those who have been de-1 frauding the Geueral Government of its "re venues, he threatens, if the prosecution j is not discontinued, that he will make terrible disclosures, effecting leading men ot the njitioq, including even the Presi dent, We are among those who, what ever else may be said of President GrantJ do not believe that aught can be truth fully Baid against his integrity. So far" in bis administration there has not been shown a single scrap of testimony that would leal the worst eaemy of the Presi dent to believe he was guilty of taking bribes. No responsible man will assert to the contrary if there is even a ghost of a 6how that he will be called upon to produce evidence to support the charge. We hope every man who has participat ed in the whisky frauds will be prosecut ed to the fullest extent ot the law, Gen. Babcock among the rest. The Presi dent has stocd by Secretary Bristow all through his campaign against the whis ky ring, telling him to spare none but bring the guilty to justice s speedily i$ possible. It PisSTent Grant bad ever in any way participated in the frand, he would never have so warmly sustain. ed and supported the . Secretary in the breaking np and exposure of the ring. Bring Babcock to the bar, and let him make his boastful threats good ; as far as the President is concerned, wo Lave no fears for the result ! Indian Wae. The small speck of war, caused by the Joseph", band of tho Nez Perce Indians withdrawing from their peaceful avocation of taking scalps, and embarking in tbe more lu crative employment of stealing horses gives occasion for the Statesman tosay that, in all probability. Gen. Martin Van Buren Brown will be compelled to sinch himself for war, and issue orders for Capt. McComas, of La Grande, and Lieut. Baker, of Portland, to hold their eleven men in readiness to march to the front, at least as early as the coming 4th of July ! The great army of savages who are causing this great com motion, aud against whom Gen. Brown will be called upon to exercise his great military strategy, consists of nearly for ty Siwashes ! . In this terrible emergen cy the General has tho sympathy of the people of the entire world ! 1 There is evidently work for the Good Templars at the hitherto quiet town of Wheatland. A few days since a" half- breed opened a saloon, and the firTjjg Ccsimixs boasts that h night about a dozen persons got beastly drunk. One man was drunk and layiiig in the road who had in his pocket the snug little sum of $1,330 gold. A friend went through" his pockets, took the money and locked it up in the safe for his inebriated. friend. The next morn ing, after the effects ot the whisky began to die, the ungrateful wretch wanted to (hoot his friend for taking care of bis money. Mr. Blaine proposes to forever settle the possibility of any danger tl .at might arise under tins discussion of what might be termed the religious phase ot the school question, by an amendment to the Constiution of the United States, forever prohibiting the appropriation of one dollar of the school funds for, sectarian purposep. Oar State Constitutions would then be uniform, and the matter would be lifted out of politics. By the personal solicitation ot Presi dent McCosh, a wealthy merchant of Princeton New Jersey, has given five billiard tables to the college at that place. The President believes the stu dents will now have less inducements to visit billiard saloons where intoxicating liquors are sold. ; The will ot Georgianna Mary Dia mond ot Philadelphia gives $30,000 in bequests to different societies, of j the Catholic Ch.Bch i $1,000 to Archbishop Wood, and after a number, of pYtvw,4 bequests, it is provided that the remain der of the estate go to the Society of St. Joseph and the St. John's Orphan Asy lum, share and share alike. . . - , The largest flouring mill in America is owned by n6n.! O. G. Washbume, ot Minneapolis, .Minn. It is seven stories hlgb and crowded with machinery from top to bottom. Its cost was $300,090, has forty ran ot burrs, and : tarns oat 1,000 barrels of flour per day.' ,-. Mr, : Allan Magruder, of Baltimore, will contribute to tbe January Atlantis an account ot Mr. Lincoln's . interview with Judge Campbell jast after the fall of Richmond, in which evidence is giv enot the breadth asd geperosity.of Mr. Lincoln's views about the restoration, ot the Union. r- .. -. .x Fiie attempt have been made to have Utah admitted as a State. ' ' The first was in March, 1849, when Brignaa was nominate Governor Wells Attoiv ney General ftnd, J ohn Taylor Associate Justice. j.Tfca ether? attempt were,, in March,-18J3, January, . 18S2, Zlsrch, 1872, and December, 1875. Next, It is remarkable ; that 38 ladies , in Hew York, daring the past year, have become converts, . unsolicited by any Habbi, to the Jewish: faith. It is not any mora remarkable that each" of the 38 married rich gentlemen of the same faith. But it is more remarkable that the gentleman in each case proposes to a lady not of his own faith, and nearly as remarkable that tho lady in each case accepted a proposal from one whose faith so soon seemed better for her than her own. Perhaps there was never before so large a proportion of the members of Congress who were entirely without congressional experience. The New York Tribuife states that of the 366 members, composing both houses, 170 are there for the first time. , James B, Beede, lately died, left an estate valued at $4,000,000. Besides many private bequests, he left to public charities a, total, of nearly $100,000, and to his widow and six children the ShjsJ&rge ? -rtune. ' He was one1 of the "solid meiMf Boston." A Walla Walla woman pugilistically inclined, walked into a saloon the other evening and commenced a vigorous as sault on a man. She exercised her mus cle to 6uch good advantage, thst the object of her attack 6oon found himself uncomfortably stretched out under a billiard table. They have made the pleasant discov ery in Chicago that the only survey ever made of the Lake Front was rejected by the Commissioner of tho United States Land Office, and that as a consequence the track still belongs to the United Slates. Reports from the Oro Fino and Pierce districts, in Idaho, and other "parts of Idaho, intimate that the coming season will be the most prosperous in the car Tying on of mining operations of any they have had there for a long time. Col. A. C. Gil!em, ot the First Caval ry, U. S., and who for a while com manded in the war against the Modocs, in 1873, died a few days ago at his home, ne&r Nashville, Tennessee. A fkightful calamity happened in Ililhken. Switzerland, Christmas day, at a festival in the school house. The floor broke away, and eight' persons were killed and fifty injured. Reformed Episcopal Church has new fifty-two Congregations and as many clergymen! whereas two years ago it had only eight clergymen and not a single congregation. The Comptroller of the Currency has ordered a statement from all the National Banks of their condition to be clawed from the closing hour of bus iness, December 17th. There are giantesses in Minnesota, it seems. A country paper there in de scribing the burning of a dwelling mentions the rescue, "by way of a window, ot the servant-girl, fifteen feet in height." . Exultant. Tbe Detroit News goes off in this style : Good ! The Apaches have shot an Indian agent 1 "Let no guilty man es cape." WM. JU ASTeiTB WILL. ' The New York papers give reports of the will of the late millionaire. Ho left an estate worth between fifty and one ' hundred millions. To his two daughters, married, and grandchildren, he left snug fortunes; to his sons John Jacob and William B., the bulk of his vast wealth. - And these are his other bequests : - 1 To 'the widow of Benjamin Astor, an annuity during her Jife.. of $200 To the American Bible S Society, $10,000, - v TO the Society for Relief of Respect able Aged Indigent Females, $5,000. ' To the Institution for the Blind, 5,000 To the New York Lying-in Asylum, $5,000:"- j ' ' To the Ladies' Repository, $5,000. To the Exempt Firemen's Benevolent Fund of the' Volunteer Fire. Depart ment, $10,000. To Philip Kissam, Agustus F. SaU terlee, William W. Bruce and Thomas M. Beare, $3,500 to each of them, pro vided .he shall be in my. service at the time of my death. . ' A ; bare $200 a year to widowed Astor, and $40,000 in all to Chanty ! Oat of every ose of his millions the manificent sum t, say $500, is devoted to Charity i: Or dollar in everv $2.- 00!

No wonder i aaay rbymed it:,' , "Tfaim as are rich rr;ayrideia chaisas; and thim as are :rmay go t? blazes." But," then, u uutjom id the sentiment. Wm, Blake & Co., of Boston, have just cast a chime of nine bells for a church upon St. Paul's island, in the Bering Sea, not far from the Strait3 of Alaska, and about 3,0(ft miles- from San Francisco. The congregation are the Russian employes of the AlaRka Commercial Company, and their faith is that of the Greek church. There are about 75 houses on the island. Some notion of the extraordinary prices ruling in the city of London for real estate may be got from a recent sale to Messrs. Samuel Brothers, the Lndgate Hill tailors. The lease of the ground on which Nos. 65 and 67 stand, with the houses; has been sold for a sum which, added to the capital ized ground rent, represents about $7,000 per foot frontage tor the freehold. The situation is one of the best in London tor general business purposes, but land near the Bank fetches a still higher price. Statistics of toe Speakers. Readers with a morbid taste tor statistics will pro bably be interested in knowing that Mass achusetts has .had the honor of supplying the Speakers during 10 years, all told ; Vir glnfci during 13 years; Kentucky daring 16 years; Indiana has had the Speaker 8 year3; Pennsylvania, Maine. New Jersey and North Carolina 6 years apiece ; Ten nessee 5 ; New York and South Carolina 3 apiece , Georgia and Connecticut 2 apiece. The first Speaker, Muhlenberg, of Penn sylvania (elected April 1, 1789), seems to have beeu chosen purely on personal grounds, as were Trumbull, of ConnectK-nt (175)1). and Dayton, of New York (1795), Muhlenberg was called to the chair a sec ond time in (1793). by the way. Sedgwick, of Massachusetts (1799). was elected by the Federalists on the party issue.- In 1S01 he was succeeded by Macon, ot North Caroli na, a Democrat. Since and including his term the Democrats have held the chair 49 years, the Whigs 7, the Republicans 18. Joaquin Miller has been giving the story the story of his life to a correspondent of the Louisville Conrier-Journal. lie says he came "from a God-forsaken, impecuni ous, wandering racf," that his isther "is a gentleman, a tender, soulful man, so mild that he would not kill a squirrel, so knit with peaceful instincts that he wouldn't participate iu a Fourth of July celebration.' As near as he can tell, the poet says he was born in- Cincinnati in 1841. lie ran away from home iu Calilornia, was capt ured by the Modocs. lived with them near ly Ave years, loved them, learned their lan guage, fought with them, and escaped trom them to San Francisco in 1353. He. then went, to Oregon, studied law, aud was admitted to the bar in 1S00. His practice of law was "not worth a cent," and he soon became the editor of a news paper tor a short time. In 18G6 he was elected District Judge ot Oregon, and served In that position four years. Of his marriage he said: "I was married at Port Orford in 1SG3. I don't khow of one pleasant moment after that for years. Kvery man and woman will have his or her say about that part of my life. If I read a certain book eorrectly there is but one who arbitrates finally. But that sort of sentiment aside, I leave no scandal to feed the world on it loves it. Uon t it? nor have I anybody's forgiveness to ask. 1 may De mistaKen, but I don t think the world will, ever look in Joaquin Miller s face expecting him to give it what he has buried." When asked about bis first poem le replied : "1 think my hrst poem, my very first poem, was babbled at my mother's breast, tor I never looked at her, or think of her, but I thought, and in song, I've a blessed mother." He is at work on a new poem, called "Adrianne: A Dream of Italy. ' An Illumination or Tbe Pyramids. Dr. Kussel sends to the London Times the following description ot an illumination ot the Pyramids on the occasion of the visit ot the Prince ot Wales to Egypt : 'A sumptuous dinner was provided in the chalet or kiosqm? that was bnilt for the convenience of the Empress of tlie French at the time of her visit. After dinner came the event of the evening tle illumi nation of the Great Pyramid. It was a bold undertaking the lighting lip of a pyramidal mass four hundred and sixty feet high, presenting two sides, each seven hundred aud thirty feet long, and broken into constantly recurring shadows oy over two hundred courses ot stone, each forming a ledge or platform round the pyramid. However, complete success rewarded the courage of the two Pashas. First, Bengal fires placed at short intervals around the hyramid were lighted and each stone shone out as clear as day. Rockets, Roman can dles, and othcrinore complicated eux d'r tiflen filled the air with many colors. Then lights of all imaginable colors' which had been placed on every course of stone and up each angle or the pyramid were so sim ultaneously lit that the blaze seemed to run up the vast mass aud in a moment envelop it in one great niaze oi variegated nre, while magnesian wire shone out bright and clear trom the apex. Every sort of fire work crackled and blazed and made cascades of colored stars in the heavens. The sight was marvelous. The Prince and his suite expressed themselves greatly pleased. But still more emphatic was the hum ot appro bation trom hundreds of Bedouins who were squatted about like statues in white dra pery on the sand. - Soon all was gray aud cold again, and the desert and Pyramids; and the lonely sad-eyed Sphinx were left behind in th gloom, while the royal party gal lopped off to their paraee to drees for a seeiai representation at the opera house given by the French theatrical company, lately arrived iu Cairo for the winter season." Two little girls, Nettie . Smith aud Ann Conlin, were drowned by break in a; through the ice, at Lawrence, on Christ mas. S. A. Johns, of Pendleton, has a Sir Henry colt, 2 years old, 16 hands high, and of 1200 pounds weight.
