A MI8TKEN POLICI. The Centenuial managers appear to eutertuia the belief that tbe most effectual way to reach the public eye, and to curry popular conviction, is by circulars, pamphlets, pictures and puoto'Tapbs. They may be entirely right, and I may be wholly wrong in the opinion, that one hundred dol lars judiciously expended in news paper advertising will accomplish more than a thousand dollars expond ed in circulars and the postage re quired to mail them. Ihe newspapers in this city have had scarcely any advertising from tbe Managers of the Centennial; from patriotic motives each journal ist in 1 Philadelphia has done his at- most to further the interests of the Exhibition, and the result is 95 per cent of the subscriptions to the Cen tennial stock has been received from PhiladelphianS; and this in face of the fact that thousands qf . dollars have boen expended in picture books, embellished circulars and other cost ly printed matter, ought to cause the llanagers to consider if such a sys tem of advertising is wisest, before other thousands of dqljitrq, are ex pended in the same direction. To publish a column appeal in ir. Child's Public Ledger would not cost a greater sum than $90, and the ap peal would reach gtT.OOO subscribers. To publish the same address iu cir cular form, and mail it to that num ber of people would cost no less than $1,500. The : newspaper appeal would reach the reader with a re spectable sponsor, while the circular eut.er the house as a sort of ''bastard" that but few wonld respect, even though it wore the gaudiest dress in which the printer's art coujd deco rate it. Pennsylvania's next governor. The majority of Mr, Latta over Sir. Olmstead, for Lieutenant (Jovr ernor, is 4,G79; the vote for the tem perance nominee being 4,028, gives Mr. Latta, the Democratic candidate, a clear majority of 51 votes. Tak ing advantage of the closeness of this vote, the friends of Ex-governor Curtin are laboring industriously to make that gentlernan, the Democrat ic capdidate for Governor in 1875. And I must confess there is a degree of encouragement given tho move ment that )oads the more sanguinp of the Governor's friends to hope for success. The ablest Hepubjicuu pol itician in this city remarked sv me this moi-mnsr that "it (Jurtin were nominated hundreds of Bopublicitns in each county of the Coninion wealth who have been snubbed apd soured by Mackev, Quay, and liutan, would embrace the opportunity to revenge themselves uuou these men, ana Curtin would sweep the State by 20,- U00 majority. Many of "the leading Domocrats in the State are desirious of recogniz iii! Gov. Cm-tin's' services in the eamr imit'n pf 1872. This they believe is the opportunity for such recognition; hut no action looking to placing wov Curtin at the head of the State tick et, one year hence, will be forinilly taken bv the party unless it has the approval of Senator Buckalew and (Jo . INoves the two gentlemen named most prominently in connec tion with the Governorship. HOROSCOPE OP THE SIRES. The question as to Governor Hart ranft's successor is regarded by the "Fathers" of tho Democratic party in this city as an insignifficent one oomparec with the.contesis for Sena tors in Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey, because of the bearing those contests will have upon the Presidential nomination in 187G. It is conceded that the struggle for the Senatorship in this State will he so bitterly hostile that lite-long friendships will be forever severed. and animosities engendered so in- tonsate that Pennsylvania, finding it utterly impossible to concentrate her large delegation upon any one oi nor eminent citizens, will present no can didate for the Presidency m lull The strife between Governors Parker and Randolph, for tho New Jersey Senatorship, while less bitter in its animosities than the contest in this State, is regarded by the "i ath ers" as fatal to Parker's prospects for the Presidency, because of the dissension precluding the possibility of his carrying a solid delegation in, his interest. In this connection it is proper to observe that the "1 ftlliers in casting the political horoscope for 1876, are indilVdrent as to the feeling the Senatorial struggle in New York may create New lork being practicu out of the contest, except so fur as her delegation may unite upon any one man for one man for the rea son that New York having three times, withinhe past 12 years, been honored with Presidential nomina tions, and three times defeated, her claims, if ntrain presented, will be laid buna the table. In the canvass to make Mr. Thom as, sneaker of the .House in in the "Sires" believe that Maryland will knock "higher than a kite" her chances of securing the coveted prize for one of her distinguished sons, no matter how loud her cry for a Vhilo mini's government may be, nor how Dittiiua her amieal that .uarvlttn now for the first time jn the history of the country tie given a President. Virginia has no candidate to prer sent, und thus from New Kngluud, down along the sea board, to gulf, the "Fathers" see but one Stat man, untrammcled by prejudices and unweighted by local animosities, who is likely to be lut forward in 1870, and as in the language of the ablest of the 'Sires' in Pennsylvania, "that man is Senator Bavard of Delawre, who has no foes to punish, nor debtn to par."

" II ALBANY, OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18,1874. were not nt all Buprised to find the destructive insect there, but for a! weevil to be found in a lady's cham ber was so great a surpise to a mer chant of this city, named Hansom, that an attempt was made to kill him and it well nigh proved successful. It happened thus: Dr. W. AVeevil is family physician of the Hansom's, Mrs. H. not feeling as well as usual a few days ago sent for Wevil ; after pre scribing, the madam' felt better and invited the doctor up stairs to look at the new set of furniture and ' ear pet she had a few days previously purchased for her bed room. , While the Dr. was admiring the bureau, bedstead, carpet, and other pretty things. Mr. Hansom happened home and his surprise was so great he drew a pistol and shot Weevil in the knee. To save his life the leg has since been amputated, and Han som committed to jail to await the result of Weevil's iujuries as it is possible he may not recover. Even should Weevil recover, his practice has gone to the dogs for gentlemen with wives who may not be Hansom, rather than shatter his other kuee would probably pre fer a physician whose tastes dp not lead them to examine wash-stands, bureaus, etc., Physipians say, that carpet is too "thin for criticism, The American Iron and Steel As sociation of this city is authority for the statement that as compared with the year 1873 the decrease in the production of pig iron, in this coun try, is 30 per cent. ; in Dsjssemer steol rails, 40 per cent; and in other lolled iron 60 per cent, The Superintendent of Construc tion of the now Post-oflice -building in this city, states that it wil be tho grandest ' building of the kind the Government has yet erected. In Architectural beauty it will be far ahead of the New York Post-olhce. The cost of it will doubtless reach $0,000,000. The valuation of real estate in this city for taxation purposes is $505, 819,995, an increase of $27,004,413, over last year's assessment. Tho tax. rate of 1873 has been fixed at 2.15-100 per cent. continental srrra plasters. From an advance copy of a pam- rthlet on the "Revolutionary fi nance by Ur. J. u . ncuucKers, it, appears that the "Bills of credit authorized by the vjonuneuuti con gress, trom iuue, ii la, 10 iiuveiu- ber 29, 1779, amonnteu to ?u,uuz,- 780. the coin value of which was only $30.3(17.719. The depreciation did not betrin until May, 1777, and then three "Continental Dollars enualed one coin dollar. Iu Novem ber. 1779. it renuired 38J dollars of Continental JUonoy" to buy one in silver. In 1880 the depreciation was more rauid. In February the relative value was 40 to 1, and in Decembor 87 dollars in "shin plaster money," were worth one bpauish silver dol lar. As the oueBtion of inflation is seri ously entertained by a number of Western Congressmen I take occa sion to reproduce the following, from Philadelphia merchant, ill tua Pennsylvania Packet, of 18 (0 had money enough to buy a hogs head of sugar, I sold it again ami got a good deal more money than it cost mo; yet what I sold it for, when, I went to murKot) again, wouiti not buy a tierce. I sold that too for a great deal of profit, yet the whole of what 1 sold it lor wouiu aitcwuru buy "but a barrel. I have now more money than I ever had, and yet I am not so rich as when I had less." According to this pamphlet, Fi nance loaned the Continental Con gress 38,000,000 Jivres, or $7,037, 037 in coin, about oile-fith of tho whole amount of coin loaned the government during tho struggle for independence. The Pia Iron manufacturers of Pennsylvania held a meeting during the week, and resolved to lessen the nroduction of pig iron in order to prevent ruin to the trade. A mcot- irlg of all the pig iron manufacturers of the country is to be hold here on the 10th day of December. 187. Twenty-six of tho leading estlu-ih incuts of the state were represented. The young lady who cume from Nova York about two weeks ago to vifiit her uncle, and who, upon in quiring of a stranger, the address of her relative, was lauen tq a nouse oi bad repute kept bv Mrs. Robinson lib had the satisfaction of securing a conviction of Mrs. Robinson lor keeping a disorderly house and of an indecent assault and battery, iu aid insr the man Johnson, who took the girl there, to force a compliance of his evil design.

TUB COUNTESS ABN1M. The Issue of a Morganatic Marrlajra. : It is not generally, known that Count Arnim, the fallen antagonist of Prince Bismarck, has a half-way connection with ths royal house of Prussia, which seems to be entirely neglected by the sovereign whose majesty Bismark represents. The Berlin correspondent of the New York Uerald writes; "Tho fight be tween Arnim and Bismark was a fair tight up to a certain point. It ceas ed to be a fair fight when Prince Bismark took to legal quibbles and countenanced charges, against his adversary's character. It became a cruel aud discreditable persecution when the Chancellor insulted his ad versary's wife and son. Yesterday the poor lady had a domiciliary visit from the police; both she and hor son are watched. The Countess Ai'ium is one of the most boauitful women in Europe, ; Pair, tali, anp stately, With tbe gracious manners of a lady niost noble, most lovely, though in a plight so pitiful. She cannot believe that her husband has ever done any thing wrong, and would share his prison if in mercy allowed to suffer with hiin- , Mercy now aoniea. X could not look upon her anguish un moved, though sne'bore it so bravely. I had last seen her as queen of the world, and now, as she spoke to toe and tried to smile, I saw that she was wringing her shapely hands till the pure, wilely blood waa line to start beneath her rings. "Alas, -we know not who are our friends!" The home of the Ainims, in the Pariser platz, is very sad and dark without its master. THE PRISONER'S SON, Is a handsome lad in the twenties, a lieutenant of dragoons, who has ta ken off his uniform. Dutifully de voted to an imprisoned father and very anxious just now, not discour aged, but keeping a stiff upper lip: helpful in a thousand ways, or desir ing to be so, and thinking, poor boy, that business should be much done in cabs, has been constantly running about hither and thither for the last three weeks; finally writing to the newspapers a manly and proper lot- tor, (tenvine that his father was in any way connected with a cateh-pen-nv pamphlet or its concoctor. A hard case, my Pnuce (jliaucellor, which deals unkindly with ladies and young lads. a sordbry little girl Standing in the market place of Ber lin more than half a century , ago Jewish little girl, with a desire for garlic every day at 12 o'clock, or per haps before; girl dark-eyed, full lip ped, bthe of limb, and with a voice which belonged centuries since to some sweet sincrer oi Israel. Due bad no name no name known to bi ographical dictionaries. Perhaps her name was Happiness. So she stood in the market-place of Berlin when Berlin was an awkward sort of a struggling village, half a century aso. This scrubby little girl, all kean, sharp life anil lovliness; and aa she stood there soiling what she hud to spll, came by his sword ou his hip a prince and a soldior. It was his Royal Highness, Augustus, cous in of Frederick William III, father of the present Emperor, King of Germany, and son of Augustus J' erdinaud, brother of i rodorick the Great, considered tho richest man in Prussia before tbe stock-jobbing era. He J"ELL quite scddenlt in lov With the scrubby little girl, educat ed her, married hor(morganatically' beuot two daughters and ono son by her, and loft her all he could leave of a irreut fortune. Ho ulso gave her tho name of Prillwitz (Baroness Prillwitii,) and one of her daughters became Count Arnim hrst wife. thereby bringing him into connec tion with the Prussian royal family "The dower of Fraulein Prillwitz was consinerablo. It includoa the house now tenanted by the English embassy, and the bouse iu the Par iser plutz (No. 4,) at present occupied by Count Harry Arnim, tho ex-Em-bassndor at Paris. Vuluo at least 30,000 f . yoarly. There must have been money, too, though tho lauds probably went to tho boy, Hut von Prillwitz, commonly uccountpd a very rich man when ho prow up. This Countess Arnim died young, and it is said that some of her prop erty returned to hor mother's family. Then Harry Arnim, by this time go ing upward iu diplomacy, married Countess Arniui-Bortzciiburg, who also brought him a great fortune, ho that he wa made a Count by royal patent." A Qukek DtJKL. A rather m!""0'' rious affair occurred a tew nights ago in the Louisville Medical Collego building, corner of Filth and (Jrcen streets. Two of the students have been paying attention to the same young lady, who lives hut a slnno's throw from the Medical College, and they got into s quarrel with each oilier about her. It was at Ittstpropos ed that ench take s pistol and tilit a (litil in a dark room in the college building. So the pistols were elected, seconds chosen, so'l the party, when no on was iu the house at night entered s room, and locking he door behind thorn, prepared for the encounter. The light was extingnMii'd, and, it s proper distance trom each other, at the word each tired. The ga wan lit, and an investigation only proved that the powder aud ball had been wasted. The light was aytin eilin guishoil, and aguin at the word the pistois were again discharged. This time ono of the duellists waa found slightly wounded in the left arm. The honor of the medical gentlemen having been thus satisfied, 1 tho two became Irinmliy sgniii ana shook hands with each other. Ctvrier Joirrx!. TUB KIND or MAN. .' The great fire of Chicago, " sayB Gath." burned up, with other things valuable only to the owners, my unpublished letters on the Dem ocratic Convention at Rochester, where, for the last time, Tweed pre vailed. He was there, at the Osborn House, in rich apartments, attended by John B. Fellows, an Arkansas Confederate officer, who did the ad visory part of his work, I was very sorry to see that this Fellows ad dresed the audience Tuesday night on the same platform with Tilden. At Rochester he was Tweed's coun selor. A mark is on him. ' Tweed himself, nearly palsied with apprehension, white as a white boiled ham, peppered , red, whispered to Fellows uneasily. Down in tho Con-, ventioti hall, the Brooklyn "ring" led ,thO failing fortunes' of Tweed. Kinsella, with his measiey iace, was there., De-Witt . was the. orator. They bullyragged Horatio Seymour when he wished to moke Francis Kiernan a delegate. They and their rabble, admitted like the gutter-water by a drain, flooding tbe galleries, stood ready, in tbe liltle-oountry city of Rochestor, to hoot down, to de vour if required, any antagonist of Tweed.' ' ' ' i ' '' " " -' Tilden was the antagonist, Bitting there with, ,Spyinour and the rest. Ho arose to make a ploa for the re pudiation of the frauds of New York. They heard him With insolence. He, wna n liffln mnn. with a bovish- sort of face, who looked aa if he could not stand up well at tbe bar of a sa loon. After a while the cry was raised. rising higher and highsr the old leer of pnze-ngut witnesses & me loninc, man: ':, "Well, where are you going for a change?".. Tilden turned round and faced that small-pox hospital, that freckled, mob of pimps and place-men. "I will tell vou where I will go," he said, his back to the chair. '1 will go back to the city of new York, among my plundered constituents, and tisrht with them for their redress.' The action uiunuaatea tue crew for a moment. There was sometlnu g of the moral gladiator in it for so little a man. '- Time has come and gone, luden is to be Governor of JNevf xork Tweed is in the penitentiary. , A LIVK PAM'UEll LOOSE). J. M. French's wild animals came home last weok, and were taken to his form on tho Holdcn road, near Dutroit. to pass tbe Winter. Among the beasts is a very fine ' panther, and. while tho cages were being ar ranged, the animal managed to open the door and escape. None of tho men were near at the time, and the panther .escaped from the barn, and ran aeroBS to the highway unnoticed. There is a small blacksmith's shop on the road, about half a mile from French's, and tbe son of Vulcan was pounding away at a h,orsoshoei and thinking of othor days, when he heard a fierce growl. Looking around, there stood tho panthor in the door, teeth hanging ! out like signboards, and eyes 'nhining like street car lamps. The blacksmith thought tho animaj a mad dog, and he burlad the shoe at horfti,d uttered a loud shout. ' The imuthor sprang away 'and trotted down the road, and the bUok smith ran up the road and told Horr Paul Schrojf, the lion-tamer., that one of his pets, was loose! While Schrolf was making his preparations for a recapture, the panther came alouir to a farm-house, and was siirhted by the watch dog. The do saijed over tha fouco and rysbed lot the panther, anil there was a yoiimg and howling which could be hoard fpr quite a distance. When the cloud of dust was blown away thero stood the panthor and there lay the dog, the first hardly scratched, tbe latter clawed up and doad. Schrolf coming up, the pantho ran down the roatl into a clump of bushes, where the men surrounded it aud finally effoctel its capture. Any rrenerous man would bo willing to give five dollars to know what that dog thought about half a minute after he got hold ol tho pantbor which he probably nupposoil was somo hira. tywn dog witnoui uuy ngm m A Thbilmno Clbsk, Mr. L.

NO. 19. AN ESSAf ON, pOHRKCT GRAMMAR. A searcher after truth writes to ask us which is grammatically correct, to say "th,e house is building" or "the house is, being built," "the street is paying" or "the street is being paved? There is a wide diversity of opinion on this subject; but we incline to favor "is being built," for these reasons ; Suppose you wish to express another kind of an idea, would you say, lor instance, "John ny is spanking," or "Johnny is be ing spanked?" ; The difference to you may seem immaterial, but it is a mat ter of importance to John; and it is probable that if any choice were giv en him, he would suddenly Belect the former alternative, ion may say, again , "the missionary is eating. ' Certainly this expresses a very diff erent and much pleasanter idea than "the missionary is being eaten;" and the sensation is very different to the missionary, too. We have consulted, several missionaries about it, and they all seem to. think that the two things are somehow not the same, no matter what grammarians say. sut it is to be oonfessed that there are occasions when the difference in the form is not so marked. ' You assert. we say, that "Hannah is hugging," which; bv tho way, would be a very improper thing fur Hannah to do; it would be positively scandalous, in deed. Precisely a similar idea is conveyed if you say. "Hannah is being hugged," because it is a pecul iarity of the aot that t is nanny ever one-sided there is no selfishness about it. But it is the same as kiss ing. "Jane is kissing," is just ex actly as if we should say, "Jane is being kissed,;" and the sensation js the same, although none of the trrammnrs. bv a sinstular inadver tence, mention the faot. It will not be nooessary, however, for our , cor respondent to attempt to prove the last namod facts by practice. He must take our own word for them Unless he does so, we snail answer no more questions in syntax for him or any one etae. Our duty is to con serve the morals of the pommunity, not to start people playing private games of uopeulyigen. IAULK-TEI.KOHAPI11NO. 1.
