A Republican State Convention is liere by called to convene in the cityot Poitland, Wednesday. May. 3d, 1878, at 11 o'clock A. M., to select six delegates to tlie Nation al Republican Convention, candidates tor judges of the supreme court in the second third and fifth judicial districts, for prose cuting attorneys for the several judicial dis tricts three presidential electors, and a candidate for representative ' in congress, and for the transaction of snch otlier busi ness as may come before the convention. It is recommended that primary and county conventions in the several counties be held as follows : Primary conventions on Wednesday, April 19th, and county conventions on Wednesday. April 26th, or at such other times as the county commit tees may appoint. The following is the apportionment of delegates in the said convention upon the basis of the Republican vote for representa tive in congress in 1S75 : Baker 3 Linn... 10 Benton 6 Marion.. 13 Clackamas 6 Clatsop 3 Columbia... 1 Coos 5 Curry 3 Douglas 7 Grant 3 Jackson 4 Josephine ....... 2 Lake 2 Lane 7 Multnomah 13 Polk 4 Tillamook 2 Union 3 Umatilla 4 Wasco 3 Washington 4 'Yamhill. 8 Total 115 In making this call for a Republican State Convention, tlie State Central Com mittee realize the fact tliat too inuch impor tance cannot be attached to preliminary operations. This being a "government of the people, by the people, for tlie people," the agents or officers ot the government should be in accord with the people. Ac cording to the general accepted plan of selecting candidates, the first steps are ta ken in our primary, county aud State con ventions. These form the ground work of political organization upon which the whole superstructure must stand or fall. If hon est men de-irc honest officials, is it asking too ranch that tbey lay aside for a day all other business affairs aud devote tlie time necessary to select proper persons to attend county and State conventions? In view of these considerations and of tlie important interests at stake we earnestly appeal to all legal voters w1k are in sym pathy 'with the princtjtles ot the Republican party, regardless of personal likes and -dislikes to rally at tlie primaries, and see to it that none but true men are entrusted with the business of preparing for tlie coming political campaign : Select men who are not only true themselves in the broadest sense ot that term but men of discernment, men who can and will clioose wisely for the good ot the people in defiance of "rfngs" nd "duplies. ' It is unneccessary at this time to reiterate in this call the principles of the Republican party; its glorious record is still fresh in the memory of an enlightened public ; it is sound upon all the great principles a fleet ing our national existence ; it is the party of progress and development ; it exposes corruption wherever found and inflicts pun ishment upon conspirators, tearful and sud den, without respect of person or position ; it favors the universal enlightenment of the people without trammel of creed or ism ; and its banner is found in tlie' van leading on the hosts of reformers in all that tends to higher civilization and enlarged freedom. - L. S. SCOTT, Chairman. J. C. MorelaxD, Secretary pro tern. And now comes a natural curiosity produced by a China goose at Claquato. It was an egg witbin an egg, its dia meter, being 4 inches the long way, and 3 inches Ibe other. When broken it was found to contain anotlier egg, the distance between the two shells being about an inch, and the inner shell being the Larder of tbe two, though both were perfect shells. . Tbe O. S. N. Company has commenc ed at Celilo, the cciiEt ruction of a new steamboat, which is to be built of such light draft that it can ascend and de scend tbe Snake river as far as Lewis ton at tbe lowest stage of water. Tbe boat is designed especially to meet tbe demands of trade during that portion of tbe season when navigation Las here tofore been suspended Tbe dimensions ot tbe isew craft are:'XeDgtti 150 feet, beam 36 feet, bold 4 feet. A lady writes to ask tbe origin of the phrase- "Tbe army swore terribly at Flanders," and what occasioned the pro fanity? Mr. Flanders was one of Bel knap's suttlers, and bis prices and gen eral disregard for all the rales ot trade so incensed the army that it cussed him with all its strength. Some parties are discussing tbe desira bleness of teaching children to use both bands alike. Before urging this am. bidextral improvement, had we not better wait until tbe country gets itelf oat of the stealing period a little. One hand is quite enough to be employed in "reaching things. "" ,. - . "Ali Sia," in Chinese, means Victory, Twenty years hence some Yankee, cool ing himself on the utmost peak of tbe Sierra Nevada, will cry, "Ah Sin, where is thy victory?' and two million bald headed Asiatics will patiently rise aud say, "We are klamin,' Fallcr Allabam ll.l-Q b.indle hiiseu colore." .' The scientific definition of what pe culiarly constitutes a man, is certainly suggestive. Plato says that a man is simply "a two-legged animal without featheis." Socrates once ridiculed tbe master by bringing into Ids school a plucked rooster and saying. "Behold the man of Plato P Jlan is sometimes called "a laughing animal," sometimes "an animal with thumbs," and some times "a lazy animal." ! But Adam Smith was not far wrong when he call ed him "an animal that makes bargains. Xo other animal docs this. No dog exchanges bones with another." These definitions are not adapted to feed our conceit, however valuable they may bo iu other resoct. The Governor-General of Canada gets $48,6G6 C6 a year, besides his resi dence and staff ; the Premier receives $8,000, aud the twelve other .ministers there, $7,000 each. The Lieutenant Governors of Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba, and the Northwestern Terri- tories, $10,000 each; those of Nova Scotia, New .Brunswick, aud British. Colombia, $9,000 each ; and the Lieu-' tenant-Governor of Prince-.- Edward J Island, $7,000. , The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court has $8,000, and tlie ; five Justices $7,000 each. " What is related here happened to James Wilkie Wheeling, publisher of the Dresden ( O. ) Doings. While a pupil of tlie Dretsdcu Union Schools, though a quiet lad, it was generally supposed he would have taken a whip ping any time rather than be knocked out of the perpetration of a good joke. We find him, Miss Springer, and a large birch, in consultation. The teacher exclaims, in strong severity : "Didu't you say 'Octavo fell in tlie Spring? " " Yes'm. and he did ; and he will prove it himself." Octavo was interrogated, and explained that he had slipped his footing on an orange peel, and bumped tbe earth with the back ot his liead. Tlie teacher suddenly recollecting that it was the 1st ot April, screamed, with a true womanly forethought, "Go to your seat f and he turned to obey, re marking." If that wasn't a fall in tlie Spring, ld like to know what season of the year this is." Daiiburg JYcmw.

The TI 'eat. em Morning H'ews says: "It turns out to be a fact, as was some time ago reported, that Stanly, the African ex plorer, is not Stanly at all, but Row. lands. It will be -remembered that when he was over here last the question as to his nationality was raised, and it now appears to be settled. He is not an American but a Welshman. John Rowlands, alias Henry 3d. Stanly, left his home at Denbigh several years ago. After reaching America he assumed the name of Stanly, and under that name wrote to his friends. In 1865 he was in the United States navy, and served as an officer, with 350 a year pay. Id 1866 he visited his mother, who has married a second time, aud is now Mrs. Jones ; and on Dec 14th of that year lie for tbe occasion dropped his assumed name and addressed the fc!.ooI children at St. Asaph, where be had received his early education. Soon afterwards he became connected with the JVetr York Jleraldy and was sent to Eng land to be chief correspondent for that paper. 1 hen followed his expedition in behalf cf Livingstone, and the success of it so delighted tlie Americans that Stanly did not care to ... wound ttieir national self-esteem by telling them that be was . not one of them, but .only a Britisher who bad accomplished the feat. So in this country he played the role ot an American citizen ; but to bis friends iu Wales be spoke bis native Weisb." CCO. H. P letoW Hcvt'ntj.yive Thoo- Geo. H. Pendleton, the great peace Democrat, testified yesterday, before the Committee on Expenditure) in tbe War Department, that while lie v Pen dleton) was President of the Kentucky Central Railroad, he got a claim tor the road through tbe War Department for nearly $200,000. His sister owned nearly the entire railroad, and he was executor of her estate and guardian for her children, as well as President of tbe Railroad. He declared that ha took $75,000 for bis fee 4br collecting the claim without dividing with anybody, lie took it from tbe railroad, of which he was President, and from the widow and orphans, whose interests he was bound as their executor to protect This is considered, by. Democrats as well as by Republicans, as the meanest steal ever "unearthed" if Pendleton has told the truth, but the general opinion seems to be that "gentleman George' has not told the truth.

To make sense, ot course, uon t you see the point r INFLUENCE OF THE Pit ESS Oil the intelligent and loyal press of the coun try the hopes of the nation depend. The people look to the press for correct information, and on this they base their judgment of governmental aflairs. A bad paper conveys a moral poison wlierever it circulates. If it is edited with commanding abilitiy, its power tor evil is greatly increased, and this is still further enlarged in proportion to its cir culation. How vital, then, in view of this, becomes the necessity of support ing good papers. Every citizen who believes in public and private morality should extend liberal support to his home paper. His first duty should be to strengthen that. If he has patronage, it should go to the local organ before a dollar is sent to a paper at a distance. Tbe principle of home protection should be applied to the local papers ot the country. A Boy that Deserve a Medal. He wasa very small boy, all in tatters, and his clothes were dripping. In his arms he held a miserable little dog, and both boy and dog were shivering in the cold January weather. This is about what lie told me : " x ou see Mister. Bill 1 lost wick and me was a playing by the river, betting cents on the chunks of ice, a seeing which one would go first over the dam, when this 'ere little dog came trotting past. 1 Says Bill to me says he : 'Let s have this 'ere dog for a passenger.' So we took bim and put him on a real big chunk-of ice, and Bill, who is an everlasting mean kind of a boy, was for shoving him off into the water just so, but I would not. I had a bit of twine in my pocket, and I bitched it to a jagged bit of the ice, 6o as it couldn't get off. Oh, we had lots of fun at first with that 'ere pup. as a passenger. isut Bill is an awful orna ry boy, Mister, so when it was his turn to play tow horse with the chunk of ice and the dog for a passenger, he just let tbe cord 6lide on purpose, so he did Then I pitched into that 'ere Bill Bost- wick and guv bim fits. But you see there was tbe ice. and the pup as was passenger, sliding down that 'ere river like thunder. I felt sure the passenger was going to be drowned ; as 1 happen ed to know that pups mother I felt kind of sorry, so I went again tor Bill Boetwick, and went for bim good, Just then tlie cake of ice, with the poor pup a yelping and keiyieing on it was just over the dam. 1 dursn't look, Mister. That 'ere night, though I must have slept good, that pup's howling I kind ot dreamed about. Well, arter breakfast, I ventured to look out on the river, and there was the pup still a yelp- ins, just like Moses in the bulrushes. J he ice had kind ot sot during last night as it was cold, but , wasn t real hard. I just skinned across that dam on the Iocs sake ! but it was slippery and I tumbled in over my head twiste, a:id was just able to get the pup off, as was passinger, by the scruff ot bis necK. Now, Mister. I am coins to keep that 'ere dog until be is grown up, and just as sure as ever Bill Bost wick whistles to him, I am going to teach him to bite iiill, and it he is too small to do it, ain't too little to lick two boys like Bill. I say, Mister, if you r know of any society as gives medals to boys R3 saves dogs lives, send 'em to me, as my name is George Washington Ostergood, ot Perry, Iowa." If there should exist we thought, such a thing as a society awarding medals to heroic urchins for saving an animal s life, we feel certain poor, ragged George would have been entitled to one of them.

The overworked scribe of the "Mudville Gazette" Sat wondering moneyless wight, It his office would ever be cleared of its debt, ; With the times so deplorably tight; When tlie tread of old leather was heard on the stair And a stranger stepped into the room, Who asked with the "don't let me bother you" air, Which the bore is so apt to assume llovv are ye?" The editor rose with a smile And pleasantly yielded his chair Placed the visitor's sadly nnbeautiful tile (Which exhibited symptoms ot wear) On tlie top of tbe desk, along side of bis own A shocking old plug, by the way), And then asked in a rather obsequious tone.
