WASHINGTON
(from oar raguiar oorrsif iaat.)
Washington, D. C, Nov. aoth, 18I7. .
A I read 1 have reported to yeu the cur
rent capital gosalp concernlag the Cabinet
changes that Mr. Lamar will be trans
lated to the Supreme Beuch, that Port
matter General Vilas U to succeed him,
and that Mr. Dickinson of Michigan, will
be the latter' successor. Still another
rumor Is that Mr. Whitney evpects to re
sign from the Cabinet unless his health
greatly improves within the neat two
months, his friends claiming that a
of the vast wealth and great sawia! prom
inence of the present Secretary ef Bg
Navy, cannot afford to endanger hla eg.
istence by further devoting himself to the
onerous d uties Incumbent upon him.
Many New York Democrats were es-
tremely solicitous for the President to
to his eld home at Buffalo and vote In the
late election, and much disappointment waa
felt that he did not gratify public expec
tation In thst respect. But the President
had a good reason for absenting hlmseff,
aa he had learned from trust worty sources,
that his presence at the polls would have
been the occasion of an undignified and
unseemly demonstration on the part of a
club of intensely partisan Republican, as
It was their unpatriotic purpose to chal
lenge Mr. Cleveland's right to vote, on
the ground that he Is not now a legal real
dent of Buffalo. In view of this exposed
conspiracy, It is doubtful if Mr. Cleveland
again votes during hi Presidency, end
when his motive Is understood, it will be
applauded by all unbiased minds.
Messrs. Carlisle and Randall sre both la
ths city, and while neither Is willing to
tske the public into his confidence, through
the medium of the press, It is highly
probable thst these great leaders may
have an Informal conference before the
meeting of Congress, with the view of
making "ths two wings of the Democracy
flap together on the tariff question, in
the Isngusge of Mr. Rsndsll during a
speech In the Forty ninth Congress.
The forthcoming report of Secretary
Psirchlld is awaited with no ordinary de
gree of interest by the financial world, as
it Is expected that he will tske advanced
ground on the questions of the Treasury
surplut,end the silver currency. That the
Secretary Is laboriously and carefully ap
plying himself to the important under
taking that devolves upon him, is evidenc
ed by the fact that to accomplish it he has
for several day confined himself to the
privacy of his home, In order not to be
diverted from his work by visitor to the
Department.
Secretary Lamar In his report, which is
completed but not yet published, recom-
mrndi that th) fntratal Cnmnymrr-
w j' ne a sen m wmmmw was vtir s m
sponsible to Congrsss or the President ior
Its acts, as at present the Secretary of tint
interior only officiates in the capacity of
disbursing officer for the Commission It
appearing that he has no jurisdiction over
that body at all.
There Is a great pressure of business st
ths Genersi Lsnd Office in the way of Is
suing agricultural patents, agoo having
been made out during the past month.and
others in course of prepsrstion will in
crease the number to 5,000 for the month
of November, which almost outrival any
previous record.
The balance of power in the United
States Senate Is lodged with the rollick
ing Riddteberger, the Senator from Vir
ginia, who holds In the hollow of his hand
the political future of three Democratic
claimants to seats Messrs. Lucas sod
Faulkner, of West Virginia, and Mr. Tur-
pie, of Indiana. Senator Riddteberger
states that he will endeavor to act as con
scientioustv in these controversies as If
ha were on the Supreme Bench of the
United States.
The Republican Senate has more than
enough chairmanships to go around
there being forty -seven Senate committees
to only thirty -eight Republican Senators,
and so It Is likely that the majority party
will very generously bestow the nine sur
plus places on their Democratic brethren.

In the matter
Naw Yon k . The Commercial Advertitrr
ia speaking of the President's message,
says . "The novelty In the form and the
unconventional tone of the message, as
well as the urgent and overshadowing im
portance of the single topic It considers,
will attract the universal attention of the
nation to the document. If we are not
mistaken, it will have decisive weight In
the future of the two parties and of legis
lation." The Pot says editorially : "The mes
sage deals with nothing but public finan.
BSfl and the moans of bringing about equi
librium between receipts and expendi
tures. This Is unusual, but under the cir
cumstance entirely wise. In order to
make the deepest Impression on the pub
lic mind en a moat Important, if not the
only important, topic of public concern, It
was necessary. Otherwise, when the ses
sion got advanced, tt would be next to
impossible to secure say result, as other
important matters would absord ail the at
tention of Congrsss. The people on the
Paciic Coast, he says, feel the seed of the
Posts) Telegraph more than any one else."
The World eays s "In thus pressing up
on Congress the Issue of a paramount Im
portance to the exclusion of all other Is
sues, the President has shown a true com
prehension of the situation. He has
championed the cauae of the long over
burdened tax-payera. He has made him
self the defender of the business interests
Imperiled by the prospective lockups of
the money, and he has also supplied his
party with what It has long lacked an Is
sue and a leader.

Sam Francisco.- The sppraUement of
the estate of the late Gov. Bartiett was
filed in the probate court yesterday, giving
its value at $80,368. The principal items
of the estate are : Fifty shares of the San

Washington. A number of gentlemen
representing wool-growers and wool deal
era met at the Ebbitt house to-night, fo
the purpose of considering what should be
done to revive the wool industry of the
country. The object is to secure harmony
among the different branches of the wool
ladustrv, and to fix a basis of duty upon
which dealers, growers and manufacturers
can unite. It was the belief that con
gressional action might be secured ou a
bill which would nearly equalise the bur

"DONT TICKLE 80."
From the Nw North-went,
Some people are of the Impression thst
the surgical operation of straightening
cross-eyes is both painful and dangerous ;
and so tt Is, when attended by the unskill
ful. The dellcscy and skill with which
the Drs. Darrln perform the operation,
without the administration of chloroform
or ether, may be inferred from a little in
cident which occurred during the opera
tion of straightening a ! 3-year old boy's
eyes, a son of Mr. Jerry Diiscoll, well
known in Portland. Everything had gone
on as usual ; the doctor had severed the
muscle In the corner of the eye, which
had allowed the eye to turn,and the oper
ation being almost complete without pain,
and In fact without the patient's knowl
edge, as be had experienced only a slight
trilling acnaatlon in the corner of the eye,
and not knowing exactly what the doctor
were doing, with a half-suppressed gig
gling laugh he exclaimed, "Don't tickle

PEN PA EA LYSIS.
People who earn their living writing,
and use steel pens for a long period of
time,sre often stricken with adlaease call
ed by physicians "Pen Paralysis." It is
supposed that there is a constant flow of
an electric fluid called the odlc ferce.pass-
ng from the arm and through the pen and
off from the body, thus constantly drain
ing the system of that force which la ex
hausting Its life, if that force is not re
newed in seme manner, either by natural
or artificial meuns, the arms become pew.
erlesa, the muscles relax, the sinews and
nerves contract, and the circulation of the
blood Is disturbed. This is known by the
medical fraternity as "Pen Paralysls,"and
has been supposed to be incurable, from
the fact that the old school of physicians
clsimed that it was useless to try to dis
cover the secrecy of life ; that that was be
yond the knowledge of msn,and could on
ly be known by a deity. But ss time rolls
Its cycles round, msn's knowledge accum
ulstea.snd it Is now found to be a certain
fact that "Pen Paralvais" can be and has
been perfectly cured. Nearly every one
In Yamhill county, and many throughout
the state, know Mr. John Thompson, for
so long a time and still deputy county
clerk of Yamhill countv. This is his own
statement 1 "I came to Portland in Au
gust last to see Drs. Darrln ia regard to
the losing of the use of my right arm snd
hand. 1 hsve been afflicted for the last
three years, craduallv arowlne worse.
During the time 1 have been examined by
several of the bestj physicians in the state,
both In Yamhill county and the city of
Portland. They were unanimous In pro
nouncing it incursble.but when all others
loe hope the afflicted do not. I took treat
ment from Drs. Darrln.and now, as far as
the paralysis is concerned, 1 feel that I am
as well as ever, and that nature Is fully re
stored. I can write as well as before the
affliction commenced."
A NEW CUBE FOR ASTHMA.
Editor Ortgonitt : I believe you hold It
to be a duty, and I doubt not you will es
teem It a pleasure, to help to make known
what of all things is and will always be
most desirable, vis s anv means to relieve
disease. For eighteen veers prior to call-
ing on Drs. Darrln I had been remorsely
er
persecuted with Asthma, in all Its terrible
svmptoms. For months at a time I have
been unable to sleep only in a sitting posi
tion in my chair. I could not attend to
my work. The past year I have been
gradually growing worse, and the day I
came to the doctors I nad to stop and rest
and be fanned by my wife to keep breath
in me. Thanks to Drs. Darrln and their
new cure by Electricity, I am cured. Re

year. After the long dreary winter every
one is slad when the hrst sign of spring ap
peats. Little green leaves appear and the
buds begin to expand their many colored
blossoms. Little bunches of nameless now
era spring up in sheltered recesses, and vio
lets , pansles, daises and buttercups are not
long in following. The peach, cherry and
other fruit trees display their beautiful blos
soms, and the sweet smelling flowers of the
lilac also help to make spring beautiful
with spring comes the birds with their
sweet songs ; although they are busy build
Inar their nests they alwavs find time to sing
The little Innocent lambs and calves appear
friskinff and playing about their quiet moth
era, and every day adds to the animal and
vegetable life. I n the spring-time the farm
er sows his grain, and the busy house-wife
finds time to make gardens and plant nower-
seeds. But Bprine soon passes away and
gives place to the long hot summer months
OUR LEISURE MOMENTS.
I suppose we all know what our leisure
moments are, moments in which we are free
from any occupation, or in other words the
times when we have nothing to do. Now
the way In which we should Improve our
leisure moments Is an interesting subject to
write. With perseverence the very odds
and ends of time may be worked up into
results of the greatest value to us. Our
most famous men have acquired their learn
ing by using every spare moment of their
time and Improving it in a way which would
be of the most benefit to them. One of
these has said, "All that I have ever accom
plished has been by that plodding, patient,
persevering process of acretion, which builds
the ant heapparticle by particle, thought
by thought, and fact by fact." 80 we might
lay up a great deal of useful knowledge, or
In some other way benefit ourselves by im
proving our spare moments In a profitable
way. For, "He who would reach fame's
dizsy steep, must toil while other, play and
sleep." So then, let us improve our leisure
moments In a way which will benefit us the
most. In some useful and beneficial em
ployment, or in reading or studying inter
esting and Instructive books, so when we
look hack over our past lives we can say we
have not lived in vain, and always regret
that we did not improve our time in ways
which would do us the most good. For we
must remember that "The little busy bee,
improves each shining hour, and gathers
honey all day long, from every opening
flower."
