j A "failure of crops is predicted in
Orezn the coming season. ; The early
fall rains were too slight to prepare the
ground for plowing.1 The great storm
that set- in November and continued
until December, with scarcely ; a .day's
let op, astonished the oldest settlers,
who bad never experienced anyj thing
like it. During- the prevalence oT Chis
terrible stornTThe' sroffiid became jtoo
wet, generally, to ' work, and little or
no plowing was done. And the ground
is genera iy too wet as yet to be.pnt
in order. Oregontans have rjosted
that there has never been a total fail
ure of the crops here, and if this season
should prove to the contrary; it will be
the first on record. But we apprehend
that no such calamity is to befall Ore
gon this season. The w?ather already
gives indications of a change "for the
better, and we should not be' surprised
to learn before the month is. Out, that

New York. Jan. 8th, 1876.
NEW TEAR'S.
The week before New Year was one of
togj and ratnv-Wretched as thoe the
English gnnnble about. The last day of
the year closed In aheavy rain, which clear
ed in the evening. In tbe most amiable way.
Watchers that night were startled by a
si.iloVn vehement din breaking the soft air.'
but the next minute smiled'? it is three
quarters past eleven !" Every fire bell in
ths city . was to be struck at once at mid
night, and the chruch chiuies were to be
gin a quarter of- an hour before- But the
impatient sons of liberty had caught the
first peal aa a signal to begin their own
private rejoicings in their own way, and
they literally? "made-thing hum." The
steimers sounded their whistles and " fe-
hprnsv and every fire,', factory, and church
bell swung recklessly. : It was impossible
tq disetnguisb anytlrlng ; the air -was-full
of a loud humming, ia which broken notes
ot bells, fog-horns, screams, and reports of
rockets, were mixed like mad, for the
coming-in of, the hundredth year. The
morning was so lovely it whs a mockery to
call it a winter's dayfor It smiled clear
and soft as April.
; i CALLS AND CALLERS.
Calls were made and received in a more
economical way than for years pasr. The
attention of gentlemen was largely paid to
reducing their carriage expenses, and most
took the short cut to do this by going on
foot. Men who spent twentv-five dollars
for carriage htrs last New Year, gleefully
told how they brought it down to eight
dollars for this. Hie pleasant mildness of
the day gave us the tunny spectacle of su
perfine callers going their rounds in full-
dress suits. As if a Indy sliould parade
Brosdwav In trained j'ress, with a la en
cape on her bosom.
THE HELPLESS POOR.
Vigorous efforts are made by the Benevo
lent .Societies to provide for the helpless
poor, before the cold, which we are taught
will strengthen as days begin to lengthen.
Soup-houses are set up In different parts of
the city, where a hot,' nourishing meal is
given for about six cents 1 and several de
cent free" lodging-houses afford shelter for
the homeless, deserving poor : leaving the
stipn-JoMses to keep' the professional
tr&aaps acu bejgjirs. .Tw.o things are Want
ing to make the life of the poor in New
York and elsewhere anything but intolera
ble wreteht-duess. The first ia decent lodg-
hig3, and provisions at a low rate. It is
true that reuts and expenses in general are
three times as high here as. they are in
London; a tact whicli weighs heavily on
the rid), and is all but extinction to the
poor. ni High rents torce the price of every
thing up to (rorresnoud, in order to pay
them. Nor needany of yottr readers think
this is a matter wlikh does uot concern
them ; . for the tendency of prices, of work
and produce, iu. other towns, tends to that
of the great centers. ; Servants measure
their wages, and mercliants their gains, by
the prices in New- York, There- isn't a
village wltere this is read, tliat people do
not charge as neniVthe regular rates of tlie
cities, as they dare-, There Is not a town
fu the states, that is not Interested, for its
own sake, in the condition of things here ;
because it must feel their Infloeuce sooner
or later. The only comfort of hard times,
K that they imi.t bring liting down for

MR. BOWES
The fact that it has been made to appear
that Mr. Bowen's paper,-' The Independent,
was used, to some extent, to turther the
Pacific railrojul scheme, is animadverted
npnn severely. If is astonishing how wise
people are, after the fact. At tlie time The
Independent wns urging the building of tlie
road, that paper, like every other one iu
the United States, believed not only in Jay
Cooke, but in the road. Jay Cooke was
supposed to be strong enough to carry the
enterprise to a successful end, and The In
dependent is no more to be blamed for assist
ing him, than are Ihe depositoi who hail
their money in his bank for losing it. I
should like to go through the safes of some
of Ihe papers thafare ahiwlng Mr, Bowcu.
Mint see it I enuldie't tl"l M)me of those ter
rible bonds therein. The . most of them
had some of that pork, and I believe they
all came honestly by it. The fact is. Mr.
Bo wen did what every newspaper man
did. he worked for what lie helieved to be a
good thing, and was paid for it only what
he should leve ln-en. It i queer if a" states
man, like a dozen I could mention, should
have his expense' paid tor advocating a
sclieme, and a newspaper should not. Tlie
fact that, it failed makes no difference. 1
have known quire, a nnmhex of very excell
ent scheme Ihsit have failed. Jy Cooke
ha gone, but the road will yet Iks htiiir,
and Mr. Bowen will live to read hi? articles
iu its advocacy, with much satisfaction and
right. Here let me say that those who are
abusing Mr. Cooke are not doing the nicest
thing in nature. When he was prosper
on, and earrvitisr on great enterprises, lie
was the most popular man in America. It
is only since lie snccii'iihed to circumstances
that would have cnishetl any one. that he
i counted tlitftdceutly. How many. men
would have done better than be did ?
THE CARNIVAL OF CRIME.
Is crime, like cholera, epidemic? It
won 'd see n so. ' One murder hived an
other. Tlie pistol, knife and bludgeon have
been very buy from the rlay before New
Years till now and the police reports Show
no ahntv-ment even vet. One fien.id man
shoots his wife, cut the throat of his four
children, and then kills himself, which last
murder was the only one that the world
Mied he thankful for. The nmnoer of eroz-
thop homicides New Year's eve ami the
light following was frightful. - Ann what
is singular, it keeps up. steadily. But the
most
TERRIBLE MURDER '"'
on record was that at Jtho Westminster
Hotel. Saturday night. Romaine Dillon, a
wealthy and first-fa mllv bachelor ot fifty.
shot a gentlemim named Diiliber In the
corridor of tlie hotel, after a moment's
altercation, the victim dving in a-tew hours.
The singular thing about jt. I, tnat the
partie had no quarrel Indeed they witv.
Iy knew each other. Dillon wa offended
with Diiliber for walking in tbe corridor
nnderstaiKl. they were both hoarders and
had shown his displeasure all day. Meet
ing Diiliber that evening, he ordered him
to get out of the corridor, which Diiliber
refused to do, whereupon Dillon drew his
Derringer and shot him. Now the facts
come out. It appears that Dillon has been
insane for years that when he was hoard
ing at the'Brevoort Hon lie wn in the
habit of quarreling ; with tlie boarders on
tho most nbsnrd pretext, which created
such a fear of him . that tlie managers were
compelled to get rid of him. He showed
murderous propensities then, but never a
word was aid about it. and he went to the
Westminster. Since he ha killed a man
the proprietor state that thU lunatic has
been for a. year in the habit of ordering
people away from tbe house ; that If any
one walked in the -corridor In front of hi
ro m he would peremptorily .order him
away, and if he declined toohev. he would
shoot at liiin as coolly as though he were a
dog, Bat'iiever a Word of all thl wa ald
to any one by theproprietor. The Dillon
family nr proioiuKjly grieved that poor
DlUihWjwajUIJileilbwIi-wwre
afraid that .something of the sort would
happen. . They always' knew that poor
Roma I ne wasrtTMjy9iiand they kept away
from hfmw hut theyi'never said - anything
ahont It. for the subject was painful to them.
Of course. Dillon will, ha nut in an asylum,
but had rthe making ot the laws, I should
provide for the punishment of several other
parties. The proprietors ot the Brevoort
and Westminster hotel would go up for
not putting this, nuiitlerou lunatic where
he could harm no one. ' Then I vould send
np the entire Dillon family for not letting
the world know tlwt their brother was
erasy. and always had been, and that it was
dangerous to have him running loose.
THE TROUBLES 6? A MILLION AIRE.
You have all heard of "Vinegar Bitters."
The proprietor, or one of them, is a man
named walker, wno marneo a wile in Cal
ifornia. In making aud Selling this horrible-tasting
medicine. "Dr." walker ha
amassed n large: fortune, for hi "hitters"'
tasted so badly that people supposed tliere
must he virtue in them. But "Dr." Walk
er's love for Mrs. Walker did not Increase
a rapidly as his lucre. In tact he got to
depitetn!Iy using her, so she claims. He
refused to allow her money as she desired
aud. as she further avers, lie Beecherized
and squandered the ducats that should
have lieeu her comfort upon other women.
She drags him into court, nod swears that
he is squandering his fortune at the rate of
91W per nay, and tnsr line i not restrain
ed he will run it nil out. Now come
Walker s story. lie avers that he is not
onlv chaste, but fastidiously bo : that Mrs,
Walker is a naughty 'woman, who makes
appointments with other men. and does
not in any sense live to the agreement she
maue wrien sne ? iook mm ior better or
wo!se. And so the courts have got "Dr,
and Mrs. Walker, and the lawyers will have
f.it picking. Both are able to pav. and if
iiiiMiiiwiMi.' ill Mw ' ri tinmgmmtim
the profits of Vinegar Bitters are not dis
tributed among the legal fraternity, all
precedent is at fault. -
THE LAST PBACD
which agitates mercantile circles is the
lately-discovered defalcation of Beck with,
ihe confidential man of Babbitt, the soap
manufacturer. Beck with was in tlie habit
of paying out 1.300 and entering the pay
ment a for $13,000! pocketing th differ
ence. .This little game went on fill he had
stolen over 300,000 ! Babbitt and fie qriar
reled one day, and Babbitt discharged him
not for the theft, for lie knew nothing
about that ami Beck with went into hiding.
Babbitt's suspicious were not aroused for
three months after Beckwhh's departure,
when an Investigation -was had, and the
stealing wa nueartlied. and Beck with ar
rested. What is curious about it. i the
tact that a business man like Babbitt should
permit defalcations to no great an amount
to go on so long without any one's knowing
anything about it. He was in the habit of
going away from his business for months,
leaving cheques signed in blank, which Mr.
Beck with filled up with ' any amount he
saw tit. and appropriated the money as he
pleased.
This was paralleled a few months ago
by a ynmig man in the employ of a well
kiiffWn fmjVrthig house. He was on a sal
ary of fl.oOOa year, but, 'nevertheless, he
kept three hnre and two women, and tan
