THE 0REG0NIAH ON GROVER.
The Oregonian, of recent date, in.
referring to Senator Grover's denial
of the findings cf the Investigating
Committee, makes the following caus
tic remarks :
As the shot that was fired at Lexington
was heard round the world, so the report of
the committee of the Oregon Legislature re
verberates from the other side of the conti
nent. It calls Grovcr to his feat in the Sen
ate, and he " denies the charges seriatim,
reading from the laws ami records to show
that all money had been properly expend
ed." Mr. Grover will learn that this form
of denial will not be convincing to the xub
lic of Oregon. It he expects to answer in
this way the detailed and specific account of
hi- transactions as presented in the commit
tee's report he will find himself mistaken.
The charges are too explicit and circumstan
tial, and too strongly buttressed with indis
putable facts ; and as they come from a leg
islative committee (if his own party it can
not be pretended that any fueling of hostil
ty founded on partisanship has rendered
them unfair. While he is denying will he
deny his "loans" to himself, or to others
for his benefit, out of the school fund, on
such insufficient security that great sums are
wholly lost? There are more questions of
fact in the indictment than of law, and the
facts are invincible. It is easy enough to
" read from the laws and records" in pre
tended justification of the profligacy which
the committee has exposed, but the essence
of the charge is in regard to the extrava
gant expenditures and allowances made in
violation of law. It is useless for Grover to
tell the people of Oregon that the vast sums
squandered by his administration, the like
of which never was known before, and is
not continued now because there can be
found for it no warrant of law, were " prop
erly expended." They know better, lie
might as well tell them that the great debt
whi -h was piled tip during his administra
tion, in consequence of this profligacy was
not in violation of the constitution.

f aliiorma Elastic Truss Co:
After practicing medicine many years in this city,
during which time I have had an extensive experience
in the application of all kinds of Trusses, I can and
do recommend yours as the best in every respect, for
it is as near perfection as modern science can make i.
It lias many advantages over the torturing steel-hoop
f Milieu Liuuci great, injury on llie Inns and
spine, bringing on other distressing ailments, such as
lumbago, morbid affections of the kidnevs and numb
ness in the lower limbs, all of which are avoided by
wearing the California Elastic Truss. It is not only a
perfect retainer, combining ease and comfort, but the
pressure can be changed to any deirree. It also re
mains in its proper place at all times, regardless of the
motions of the body, and is worn night and day with
perfect ease. It is superior to any of the Elastic
Trusses now in the market, while it combines the
merits of all. 1st -It is easily adjusted on and off
with snaps, doing away with straps and buckles.
2d The universal spring between the plate and pad
prevents all irritation, which is a god-send to the suf
ferer. 3d. The pad is adjusted on and off in an in
stant, and can be changed for any other size and form
most suitable to the case. In fact it combines every
quality essential to comfort and durability, and is un
equaled in lightness, elasticity, natural action, and
artistic finish. Many of my patients who are afflicted
with hernia are wearing them, and all shall in the fu
ture, for I think the great ease with which these
purely scientific appliances are made efficacious, is
trulv remarkable. You can refer any- parties to me
on the subject of their merits. I remain truly yours,

AX ACT to define the Boundaries of Coos and
Douglas counties.
Be it enacted by the Legislative Assembly of
the State of Oregon :
Section' 1. The boundaries of
Coos county shall be as follows: be
Efifinins on tbe shore of the Pacific
occ-an at the township line between
township 22 and 23, south of range
13 west of Willamette meridian;
thence east along said township line
to the summit of the dividing r'nlue
between the waters of the Umpqua
on the eai, and the Loos and i.'o
qnille rivers on the west ; thence
southerly aloii" the summit of the
aforesaid divididing ridge to a point
due west of the northwest corner of
township 23 south, range 8 west, Wil
lamette meridian; thence in a direct
line to the northwest corner of town
ship 30 south, ranyre 9 west, Willara
ette meridian-; thence south to the
southwest coiner of said township;
thence in a straight line to the sum
mit of the mountains separating the
waters of the Coquille and Coos" riv
ers from the Umpqua, "at a point
where the same intersects the divid
ing ridge between the head waters of
the Umpqua and Rogue rivers; thence
westerly along the summit of the
ridge dividing the waters of the Co
quille river from those which dis
charge themselves into the ocean, to
a point due east of the south line of
section 21, township 30 south, range
15 west of the Willamette meridian;
thence west to the Pacific ocean ;
thence north along shore of said
ocean to the place ot beginning.
Sec. 2. The boundaries of Douglas
county shall be as follows Bein
ning at the month of the Siuslaw river
on the south bank ; thence following
up the south bank of said river to a
point fifteen miles west of the main
traveled road, known as the Apple
irate road ; thence southerly to the
summit of the Calapooia mountains;
thence eastward along the summit of
said mountains to the summit of the
Cascade rango; thence southerly
along the summit of the Cascade
range to the former corner of Dons
las county; thence continuing south
erly along the summit of the Cascade
range to the summit of the dividing
ridge between the headwaters of the
south Umpqua and the waters of the
Rogue river; thence westerly along
the summit of said ridge to the sum
mit of the Coast Range of moun
tains, separating the waters of the
Coqnille and Coos rivers from tbe
Bataed Taylor. In speaking of
this, in many respects, wonderful
man, whose loss a nation mourns, an
exchange says:
Bayard Taylor, who died a few
days ago, while American minister
to BcrlinQa position only one degree
lower in honor than that of 'he pres
ident was a self-made man. lie
never attended a college, but com
menced life as a printer boy, and in a
printing office received the rudiments
of that education which gave him
high rank as a scholar and literary
writer. He could speak, it was said,
no less I ban seventeen languages, all
of which he acquired by hard appli
cation to study. So prominent had
he become among his countrymen,
that be needed no recommendations
for office. President Hayes appointed
him minister to Berlin without solic
itation on the part of Mr. Taylor or
any of his friends. Looking to this
high example, let no ambitions youth
be discouraged by the surroundings
of poverty. Intelligence; energy and
perserverance wdl accomplish tne
most brilliant triumphs.

Pkei.iminky tn admission to the public
schools of St. Louis, answers are required to
a list of Questions, some of which are at
time3 too much for the intelligence of the
unfleged citizpns of the "future great city
of the world." as witness the following :
A friend of mine. Miss J , teacher of
one of the primary classes, catechised a lit
tle ragamuliin a short time since with the
following result :
" What is your father's nameV"
" Don't know."
" Don't know your father's name?"
"No."
" Well, what do the neighbors call him ?"
" Don't call him nothin'. They don't see
him. He ain't nc per home 'cept nights."
"Then." as a bright idea occurred to her,
" what does your mother call him':-'
" Why, she calls him ' old fool.'"
At this point her researches into the se
cret history of that family ceased.
On another occasion a little candidate
grapple 1 succe sfully with every question
on tne nsi. uiikj hw j -
father's occupation
was propounded.
when he was forced to admit that he did not
know what that word meant.
" I mean, what does he do ?" said Miss
J
1 Oh r he builds fires."
1 Ah ! he's a janitor, therrf"
I don't know what that
means, nei
ther.
" Why, a jauitor is a man that builds
fires, anil sweep3 out, and take3 care of a
building. "
" I guess he ain't that kind, then, cos he
don't sweep none."
" Doesn't he 1 Well, where does he build
fires ?"
"I don't know," said the little fellow,
very emphatica'ly, and in a tone betraying
considerable irritation, " he's dead."
Grover ok Oregon. Senator Grover, of
Oregon, has not particularly distinguished
himself during his political career; indeed,
he is never heard of except he gets into some
disreputable scrape or other ; but his disrep
utable scranes are generally frequent enough
i l"m" from nrolonired obscurity. First,
he was mixed up with Tilden and Patrick m
the shameful attempt to reverse the choice
of the people of Oregon for President ; then
he was ground through a senate investigat
ing committee on a charge of bnvmg his
a , - , i ........
seat; and now a legislative tuiuimucc pil
lories him for plundering a variety of State
funds while Governor. If Grover likes
fame, he is getting plenty of it. St. Paul
