An unKpular man in an important posi tion will render the poition as unpopular as he is. ThU Carlisle the Secretary of the State Boat d of Immigration has done. Pco pie arc generally beginning to think him a pretty scrubby sort of a fellow. O Mr. Cleveland, a drummer, was in the city Friday. Though a slim fellow with a 15 inch neck, the first question he is general ly asked to "ah, are you a relative of the President ?" This has been done so much that new when he sees a peculiar expression Hitting across a man's face he takes the lead and remarks, "no I am not a relative, thank you." People are bored most who have big names. O The number who get their mail through the general delivery at the Postoftke, is as tonishingly great. Two bits a month se cures a private box with a key and makes a man as independent as a boy la the back seat of a high theater gallery. Why not try it. O There arc people in this world, thousands of them, who lack any reliable conception of the meaning of personal liberty. They think it means the license ta steal, rob, sell diseased meat, hitch their horses to a man's shade trees, trespass on another man's land or run away with his wife, sell strychnine for salt, and even to sell or drink ad liMim, poisonous intoxicating liquors, the use of which causes nine tenths of the crime of the world, just as they please and as much as they please. The truth is personal liberty does not consist in the right to do anything that will make a neighbor stumble, and no ones liberty is infringed on if the privilege is prohibited. O Several third-class theatrical troups are billed for Albany for the next few days We become used to third-class affairs here and get to imagining them first-class because they are about the best we have. It is be cause they are compared to some of the tenth-class affairs that prey on us occasion ally. They will get good houses, because Albany is a good theater town, and good theater towns patronize everything. Flam ing bill boards do not indicate the character of a show anymore than the shucks of a horse chestnut the meat inside. KIIV Failing. Last Monday William Fails, on charge of George Piper, of this citv. was arrested at Salem and brought to this city. Tuesday morning he was examined before his Honor, Justice Dorris, and admitted that he stole a ! THIS PAPER M.W..

He has broken his limbs many times, is a lone or phan, homeless, and has lived mostly by begging meals from his boy companions and sleeping in barns. His prospects are not very bright. The City Band. The City Band reorganized the first of the week, with the following officers : M E Brink, President ; Chas Mueller.Sccretary J Wm Fortmiller, Treasurer and Hank Hays, Fred Whittier and Alfred Kctchum, Tru-, tees.

It has the make up of a good band. Albany Building Association. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Albany Building Association was held at the Opera 1 louse Monday evening. The report of the Secretary showed the Opera House property to be doing a good business, and the Association nearly out of debt. The following directors were elected for the ensuing year : Chas. Pfeiffer, W C. Twcedale, Jay Blain, O. H. Irvine, W. M. Ketchum, Geo. E. Chamberlain and Edward Zeyss. At a meeting of the direc tors Chas.

A Montana paper figures out that the loss 01 sheep during the winter was jo per cent; out that th natural increase overcomes this so that the wool clip will be larger than last vear by several hundred thousand pounds. This is a cheerful aspect and quite inconsistent with the general claim that the loss was 75 per cent. In Crook county the estimated loss of stock is 10 per cent. In Southern Oregon it was small. Glanders is common at Helena nnd stables are quarantined. Speculation in cattle in Linn county has been a paving investment. One gentleman is reported to have made $500 on a $aooo capital in a few week and another $100011 less than $300 in a month. Mr. Wiles, our good naturned Benton county neighbor a lew days ago sold three horses to Mr r raxicr, the furtland dealer for $000. Mr Wiles always gets good prices for his horses because he raises good ones. it pays. Authorities differ in regard to the num ber of 2 30 performers produced by Ahnont. (ten. Ithers is authority for the statement published in his catalogue that this celebrat ed son of Alexander's Ahdallah has already contributed thirty -two trotters and two pa cers. McKnight Brothers Oneco is a de scended of this famous horse. If good weather continues sheep shear ing will be in order. AN.H. man has a ift months old calf weighing 700 pounds.

When a circus and menagerie reaches Oregon It is always with $1 0,000 lions, $jO,- U00 elephants, etc. How near the truth these claims may Ire can he judged of hv a sale in Philadelphia a few days ago.

In connection with the above announcement we take pleas ure In thanking the people of Albany and Linn countv for the liberal patronage since Mr. L. E. Blain lias been handling our goods. We shall endeavor In the future, as in the past, to manufacture good, honest goods, at as low a figure as those imported.

Smiling I On last Saturday morning Judge Black burn and O. II. Irvine, two prominent Re publican Attorneys of this city, were out on the streets with bright.smlling countenances that told of great happiness and joy reign ing in their hearts. Everyone who met then was struck with the resplendent self satisfaction that scintellated from their wide open countenances. The matter soon Be came a subject of remark and inquiry as to the cause of the gladsome news or luck that had come to them. Many were the guesses made by those who stood upon the street corners. One thought a Croesus had brought suit against a Gould mud that these gentle men had received a large retainer. Others thought rich relatives had died and left them heirs to untold riches. Others know ingly winked as they declared that these limb of the law had made lanrc sums of filthy lucre by speculating in Albany real estate, and thus the iuee ran, and wc suppose the guesses would have contirfucd until now, if one of these gentlemen had not been"heard telling with joyful glee of a very pleasing occurrence which transpired the night before at the Opera House where Prof. Morris, the phrenologist, was lectur ing. That gentleman, in order to convince his audience that phrenology is a science. proposed to his hearers that he would blind fold himself, after which six Democrats should be placed at one end of the stage and six Republicans at the other end whereupon the Prof, would feel their heads and tell which were Democrats and which were Re publicans. Now our friends Blackburn and Irvine were among the Republicans, and Senator Irvine and Jim Murray were among V ' . J.A. . the Democrats. Tnc Prof, with much a- surancc prononnced the Democrats Repub-1 licans and the Republican Democrat, The audience was not convinced, but it .... m leaked out that the t'rot. too oiacaourn tor Senator Irvine, and lawyer Irvine for Jim Murray, and it was this highly compllmen- r .-mMrl tUat nUA nor !, , r lawyer irtends, nut it was currently report- 0 the various oftVcs appear to be all well ed tint Senator Irvine and Jim Murray kept and all the officers courteous and ef were mad as March hares all next dav for ficient, and we recommend that the county thus being publically accused of being Re publicans. Next Falls State Fair. At the Bute fair next fall there will be seven trotting races, with purses amount Ing in tout to $3350, and eight running races, with purses amounting in total to $2300 and sweepstakes added, from $30 to $100. So it will Ire seen that as usual it will be a grand horse meeting and gamb ling affair. A new feature to the fair will be a military drill for a purse of $500. Before the fair the Board propose to im prove the grounds materially, by building new fences, taking down the old 'shanties called booths, sheds, etc., that have present ed such an unbecoming appearar.ee in the nast. When the Indications arc that the fair Is being run in some ones else interewH than iust Salem doodic the Democrat will suooort it as Uartilv as even Marion countv naners : but the present outlook is that the next one will simply be a repetition of those ' held during the past few years. A Matter with a Point ta It. The season of house cleaning and Spring moving is about here, nous cleaning is a mean business : but it ha 1 to bo done. You will want a carpet this Spring by all means. Get a good one. a tasty one, one that your friends will like to see. A 13. Mcllwaiu has a magnificent stock. No such fine designs have oyer been surpassed here. He will ssll those carpets at prices that defy competition anywhere in the Valley. Portland too. In general merchandise, boots, shoes, etc,, Mcllwoin is prepared to matt a rushing year's trade with splendid stock ef well selected goods. He will not be uudersold, And will meet Cut prices Every time, and on the same terms or in large packages undersell them, He can do this because he buys in very large quantites, gets better prices and much cheaper freight. Try him in sagara, coffee, tobaccos, pickles, in fact anything in his stare. Wall Paper, Shades, Etc. N H Allen & Co. keep in stock a fall line of the above goods, including a fine assort ment of decorations for sealings, whieh they will sell at the lowest possible prices. W have now iu transit eae of the largest stocks cf these goods ever in this market. TEACHERS' INOTrTTTE.

Dr. Rice was born July 10th, 1817, at Greenville, Kentucky, and was the grand son ofeKcv. David Kice.the first Presbyter ian minister located west of the Alleghany mountains, who moved into Kentucky in 1783 ; and organized the first Presbyterian church within the boundaries of the present state. Dr. Rice moved to Illinois in i8lt : read medicine and graduated at st Louis, Mo., from the McDowell Collage in 1844. At the outbreak of the war he entered tbe army a surgeon of the load Reg. III. Volunteers also brigade surgeon, and had charge of Hospital No. 3 at Gallatin, Tenn. After the second day's battle at Stone river tlterc were 3300 soldiers in the hospital at one time. Here his services were so well appreciated that he was presented with a fine gold watch, lie carried and treasured till the day of his death. The watch was purchased with money raised by small con tributions from the men no sum over Si being permitted from any one. Being broken down bv hard service Dr. Rice was com pelled to resigntand returned home tt Mon mouth, III., where he acted a general med ical examiner for the government in that dUtrict. At the close of the war he came with hi family to Oregon and settled in Albany. He organized the Linn Co. Medi cal Society, the first medical association formed in Oregon, and was also one of the originators of the State Medical Society of Oregon, of which lie was elected president once or twice. He took a prominent txart in the organization of the Oregon Medical College, and was one of its first professor. About three year ago he came with his family to Ashland and practiced hi pro fession here till the time of his unt Illne. lie was twice married, first in Jan., 1844 to Mis Isabelle II. Phelps, daughter of Honorable S. S. Phelps of Okanogan, III She died after but three months of married life from a fever contracted from her hus band, w lio was dangerously ill at the time. In 1846, he was happily united with Miss Mary M. Xorcross, of Monmouth, 111., who survives him, after ever 40 years of happily spent married life. Seven children were born to them, only three of whom are liv ing, the eldest, Will B. Rice, general agent of the O. P. R. RMias Lillie,and t. Lvle, O. & C. R. R. operator at Grant's Pass. Dr. Rice was ever known as open hearted and generous to a fault, ever ready to serve others and placing too light a value upon his services. With the opportunities and advantage at his command a more selfish and calculating man would have acquired wealth, but he attended alike upon rich and poor, and leaves the record of an honorable, well spent, useful life, and a monument of gratitude in many a heart in Oregon which shines beyond the clouds with brighter ius ter than the highest pyramid of gold. He was a c onsistentand honored member of the Presbyterian Church for many years up to the time of his death. Ashland 7V- jtasm T Vry Best.
