Permit me to give a few facts to substan tiate my opinion that Port Orford is not, and Cape Foulweather is, the proper place for the construction of the proposed "har bor of refuge " for the commerce of this coast. The official estimate of the cost of construction of a breakwater at Port Orford, to enclose 90 acres, is $3,427,000 ; to enclose 100 acres at Cape Foulweather, 656,251 20. Mr. Habersham states in his report that the Foulweather harbor is so naturally well pro tected from the most dreaded southeast winds that the opinion was expressed by the seamen who made the survey that if buoys were placed to define the entrance, vessels of any draft could run in and find safe an chorage ; and this opinion is substantiated by the fact that during the recent severe storm persons who were then at Foulweath er say that while the south side of the cape (exposed like fort Urtord) was lashed into a fury, the north side presented an area of fifty acres as smooth a3 a mill pond, covered with innumerable sea fowl. The river and harbor appropriation bill, passed by congress (of which $200,000 has been allowed for our harbor of refuge), is generally denounced by the press as extrav agant. We, therefore, cannot expect more than a like amount to be appropriated each year. Jf $200,000 be expended each year at iron Urtoru, for sixteen years, we will have a harbor (in the language of the report) sumcient for present necessities. If the $200,000 be expended at Foulweather, in placing buoys and commencing the sea wall as proposed by Engineer Habersham's re port, a harbor " sufficient for pr sent require ments can be available the coming winter, and the harbor can be enlarged year after year as the needs of cotrmerce demand or the bounty of government allows. I nave confined myself to what I believe to be a plain statement of facts, that cer tainly must have been unknown to the Port land Board of Trade at its meeting last week. Fort Orford. has long been talked of as a point for a harbor of refuge, whereas Foul weather harbor was altogether unknown un til first entered and surveyed last summer by R. A. Habersham, of this city, acting as U. S. assistant engineer. Judging from their action in the matter, I opine the gen tlemen of the board had never read his re port. They should hasten to inform them selves, nndo their action, and leave the selec tion (as congress has wisely done) to the un biased and well-informed judgment of the board of U. S. engineers. 'Morley'i' 1,1'Her.s York. from 3fcv J. A Corvallis Jan. 1,18 1. KNIGHT. 14:ltf FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. New York, March 6, 1879. THE LAST OF THE OLD SIACT FIRM. The house of Macy is probably as widely known as any in America, and its reputation was won by one cent. If any other house sold a certain grade of goods at one dollar, Macy marked his at 99 cents. Soinatimes for odditv's sake his prices would be $12.01 for a given article, or $13.99. A price at even money was as rare as an honest politician, and this peculiarity, more than any other cause, probably, brought his store into noto riety and him into a handsome fortune. But the grim Book-keeper has been balanc ing accounts rapidly with the old firm of R. H. Macy & Co. Two years ago Mr. Macy died in Paris, leaving an inebriate son on an allowance of a few hundreds annually. Not long after Mr. Laforge, the second partner, died, and this has now been followed by the death of Mr. Valentine, tne sole remaining uartner ot the original nrni. Ihe son aiiud to also died a few weeks ago. The immense business now passes into the hands of Mr. Webster, who came into the firm after Mr. Macy's death, and suddenly finds hit jelf master of a retail business often amounting to 50,000 in a single day. " WET TO ORDER." After every large dry goods fire the small er class of retailers get up a tremendous ran on " wet eoods from the late fire ;" and even larger houses have done more or less in this particular line, it nas long Deen amys tery to some people how so much goods could be damaged in any tire without break - ins all the insurance companies. Some other people didn't stop to speculate intel lectuallv. but proceeded vigorously to finan cial speculation in these goods, thinking that . - , L' L A -, 1 materials WIUUU were uam anu mrty, wicn- out attempting to hide their shame, must be cheap. The recent heavy fires gave fresh impetus to this particular trade; and though wiseacres blinked and winked and hinted about good chances to work off unsalable coods, the dear people were blind to blinks .1 J i l,; o tn 1 .11 SHU UOU IAS luuvo, tui J DVCUUCU UtXl- erains I It was left for an Eighth avenue Israelite to let this exceedingly black cat out of her bitherto very shady bag. He had neither been to auction and bought real wet goods ; nor pulled out his unsalable merchandise, wet it and dragged it about his floor3, and when he saw the people flocking past his store to those where the wet goods game was being played, bis rage knew no bounds. He resolved to give the coup tie grace to the whole humbug, and took his revenge on his enterprising rivals and the flocking people at one swoop, by painting a huge sign for his store tront, bearing the inscription : " Goods wet to order, at short notice ! " A SUBTERRANEAN MONSTER. Down beneath the pavements on Spruce street, there is panting away, day and night, every hour in the year, a huge iron slave, running his giant arms out beneath side walks, across streets, under massive build ings and blocks, grinding away Samson-like in his dark prison house, a perfect marvel of strength, and without a parallel on the Con tinent it on the lilobe. lie grips with one of his long fingers the Bullock presses of Horace Greeley s greatest monument, and throws off 4,000 Tribunes an hour from each of the several presses under the famous Tall lower. With another, he grasps the light ning presses of the paper which " shines for all," and prints a hundred thousand Suns before you have tasted your morning coffee. Down bpruce street runs another giant arm, which turns out the monstrous edition of ihe New York Ledger ; another drives the presses of the Sunday Dispatch, another runs down into John Scott's cellar and prints over forty weekly papers of lesser fame, lo both sides of Spruce, both sides of Frankfort, both sides of William and one side of Beek man, yet other arms stretch out and run hundreds of devices for printing, ruling, per forating and binding in that busy nest of types and cardboards fronting on and adja cent to Printing House Square. His hrc3 never go out : almanacs and clocks, seasons and oycles, dynasties and electoral commissions are not for him. He heard the booming guns at Sumpter and told the world what they meant, but his panting quickened not. Lee thundering at the gates Gettysburgh and Lee surrendering at Appomattox were one to this slave. He heard the tramp of armed men above his head in '61, and listened in '65 to the heav ier tread of thinner ranks bearing back those tattered, riddled banners, which make the veriest dotard's blood tingle in his veins as he looks : he saw Tweed's daughter wear ing diamond's for shoe buttons, and looking again saw the dethroned robber eying by inchs in a felon's cell, nor this nor that meant anything to him. Old Time, to whom we mortals bow most reverentially, looks down through these grimy gratings and gets uo more attention than a contemptuous pun ot steam is his laee. lnis is the felave ot Commerce not of Time ; he knows no law but the demands of Trade and acknowledges no master else ! Twenty vears ago a printer owning a steam engine which supplied more power than he needed, began furnishing power to his neighbors, vlney quickly found it cheap er to take a shaft from him than buy and operate an engine for tuemselves, and the business grew rapidly. This is the very heart ot the printing business ot ootham. Within a space of eighty acres is more capi tal invested in types and their accessories than in half of all America. It was a rare field for such an enterprise. A stock com pany was formed with $80,000 capital, every dime of it represented in the engines, boil ers snd shafting. Great papers like the Tribune, Sun and Ledger tound it cheaper to buy power than to generate it, and though they have engines of their own, they hold them only as reserves in case of accident. No accident ha3 occurred these twenty years. A tire pump oi immense power nas been attached to these engines, a thousand feet of hose are always ready for use ; men are at hand every hour of the twenty-four, and repeatedly have turned the full power of these mighty engines upon the pumps, and put out dangerous fires before even our elert Fire department could reach the spot. The chained slave has saved his master nearly half a million of money in this way, to say nothing of the averted disorganization of business from a fire. MOBLEY. A woman, notwithstanding she is the best of listeners, knows her business, and it is a woman's business to please. I don't say that it is not her business to vote, but I do say that the woman who does not please is a false note in the harmonies of nature. She may not have youth or beauty, or even manners, but she must have something in her voice or expression, or both, which it makes you feel better disposed towards your race to look at or listen to. She knows that as well as we do ; and her first ques tion after you have been talking your soul into her consciousness is, did 1 please ? A woman never forgets her sex. She would rather talk with a man than an angel any day. Womanly women are very kindly critics, except to themselves and now and then to their own sex. ihe less there is ol sex about a woman, the more she is to be dreaded. But take a real woman at her best moments well dressed enough to be pleased with herself, not so resplendent as to be a show and a sensation, with the vari ed outsie'e influences that set vibrating the harmonic notes of her nature stirring in the air about her and what has social life to compare with one of those vital interchanges of thought and feeling with her that makes an hour memorable? What can equal her tact, her delicacy, her subtlety of apprehen sion, her quickness to feel the changes of temperature, as the warm and cool -currents of thought blow by turns? At one moment she is microscopically intellectual, critical, scrupulous in judgement as au analyst's bal ance, and the next as sympathetic as the op en rose that sweetens the wind from what ever quarter it finds its way to her bosom. It is m the hospitable soul ot a woman that a man forgets he is a stranger, and so be comes natural and truthful, at the same time he is mesmerized by all those divine amerences mat make ner a mistery and a bewilderment. Atlantic Monthly IXTISIBUB PAXCIIES. The " invisible patch " on boots and shoes is a thing that the owner of dilapidated fan cy feet coverings delights in. But to get one put on by the cobbler costs nearly as much as by the old way. This need not be, for any boy can put them on himself in the following way, given by a correspondent of the Country Gentleman : Take gutta percha, half ounce ; bi-sul-phuret carbon, two ounces. In a wide mouth bottle put the two together, and shake occasionally until the gutta percha is dissolved and it is ready for use. When the patch is to be applied, scrape the boot or shoe until the blacking is off and the leath er is a little rough, On this dust with fine resin, minutest quantity ; serve the patch the same way. Then spread a little of the cement on both the shoe and the patch, first having shaved the edges of the patch. Ap ply like court plaster, and smooth with a warm spoon or iron, and the shoe will soon be ready to wear. A few hours will harden the cement, when properly done the patch will be invisible, and will last as long as the shoe. This cement is waterproof. The gut ta percha, shaved in thin slices, is kept in uuu ruDuer stores lor tne aoove purposes. Ten cents' worth will do the work of a fam ily for a long time. The bi sulphuret of carbon is sold by druggists, and will cost nve or ten cents an ounce, ihe smell, which is oflensive, soon passes off. While a nurse girl was recently drawing a DaDe along Aitred street she was approached by a queer-looking old chap, whosa mouth was working as if he wanted to bite some body. He halted the cab, chuckled to the child, and finally said to the nurse : "I used to be just such a little augel my self. Dear me, but how I want to kiss him ! " " But yon can't," replied the girl. ' ' I didn't expect to for nothing, of course," he continued, feeling in his pocket "Here is twenty-five cents, young miss. J used to have to pay half a dollar for kissing em but babies are down now, long -with everything else. She looked around took the money, told him to wipe off his mouth, and he gave the child a smack which sounded like a dish-pan starting for down cellar. An old lady came around the corner as he straightened up and in reponse to the sharp look she gave him the old man explained : : " Been kissing the baby sweet's honey nicer n ice-cream paid two shilling. " What ? " she demanded. He again explained. " Well, you must have lots of money, or else you re a lunatic ! she growled. " Pay two shillings to kiss a little young 'un like that when you might have kissed my whole family and the dog to boot for fifteen cent0 ! No wonder you have to wear old clothes ! " Detroit Free Press, Facts About Man. - If a well-made man be extended on the ground, his arms at right angles with the body, a circle, making the navel its centre, will just take in the head, the finger-ends and feet. The distance from top to toe is precisely the same as that between the tips of the fin gers when the arms are extended. The length of the body is just six times that of the foot, while the distance from the edge of the hair on the forehead to the end of the chin is one-tenth the length of the whole stature. Of the sixty-two primary elements known in Nature, only eighteen are found in the human body, and of these only seven are metalic. Iron is found m. the blood, phos- Iihorus in the brain, limestone in the bile, ime in the bones, dust and ashes in all! Not only these eighteen human elements, but the whole sixty-two, of which the uni verse is made, have their essential basis in the four substances, oxygen, hydrogen, nitro gen, and carbon, representing the more fa miliar names of tire, water, saltpeter and charcoal; and such is man, the lord of earth! a spark of fire, a drop of water, a grain of gunpowder, an atom of charcoal ! HaWs journal of Health. New Constitution. The new constitution of California lias many important and desirable changes. The S. F. Chronicle, of the 8th inst., in speaking of the amended bill of rights of the new constitution, says. The Bill of Rights in the new constitution is a great improvement on the old one. It has been the cruel custom in some countries to coatine witnesses who could not give bonds for their appyrance in the same room with the worst of criminals. This is prohib ited in Section 6. The mode of trial by jury as prescribed in Section 7, meets a pop olar demand of long standing. In civil cas es three-fourths of the jury may find a ve -diet. Section 8 allows the prosecution "by information" of offenses hitherto proscuted only by indictment, and provides that grand juries may be dispensed with save once a year. This is another concession to a pub lic opinion more or less well-grounded, that society has outgrown the cause which once suggested that the grand jury-alone should take cognizance of public offenses. New York, March 15. The emigration movement, recently commenced, of Jewish residents here promises to assume import ance. They propose buying lands in the far west, narcei them into farms, each emigrant acquiring a title on easy conditions. The colony now organizing embraces farmers, skilled artisans, carpenters, plumbers and other trades. Prominent Hebrews here, of Cincinnati and elsewhere have been long dis cussing and maturing plans to benefit their poor countrymen in the large eastern cities. A convention is called here of prominent Hebrews of the country for July 7th to con sider means for an extensive colonization scheme. The richest city in the world is said to be Frankfort on-the-Main, which contains a population of about 100,000. If its wealth were equally distributed among its inhabit ants, every man, woman and child would have $5,000 each. It is asserted that there are 100 Frankforterg worth from $4,000,000 at 5,000,000 each, and 250 who are worth $1,000,000 and upwards. The city is one of the great banking centres of the globe. Its aggregate banking capital is estimated at $200,000,000, more than one-fourth of which the famous Rothschilps, whose original and parent house is there, own control. The annual transactions in bills of exchange are in excess of $100,000,000. Its general trade and manutactoring industries have greatly increased since the formation of the German empire. Chicngo Tribune. . Kennett Square, March 15. Business is entirely suspended out of respect to the memory of Bayard Taylor. Many houses are draDed in mourning. Gov.

The funeral procession then started for Longwood, where the remains of Mr. Taylor were interred. Short settlements make long friendship. Mrs. Partington says she has hunted and hunted and can't find out who said, "That Ruth crushed to earth shall rise again. " TRIFLHG WITH JUSTICE.' Under the above caption the Salemi, Statesjnan of the 14th inst., has some pertinent and timely remarks, sug gested by the late judicial farce in that county, by which notoriously' guilty parties escaped " unwhipt of justice." There is scarcely a shadow of doubt in the minds of well-informed persons, on the subject, that Mrs. Hebert and John D. Whitney con cocted and carried out the murderous, plans which deprived Mariou county, of a peaceful, quiet citizen, in the person of Oliver Hibert, and involved the tax-payers of that county to the amount of thousands of dollars of costs. But it does not stop here. Such instances produce a feeling of insecurity of life and property and establish fearful precedents. The Statesnan sayr. : In all cases coming up for adjudi-.ati n, before a court of justice the first objective point should be to ascertain the equities of the case ; truth should be brought out as far as possible and in the application of the es tablished principles of law that construction should be given as far as possible in the in--terest of truth and justice. Precedents are not as safe as the elementary principles of law coupled with honest purposes and good sense. By a departure from this rule we think the Supreme Court of this State greatly er red in granting a new trial to John D. Whit ney ; there were no facts before the court to show that Whitney had not had a fair and impartial trial ; there were no evidences that went to show that injustice had been done in any degree. The grounds upon which a new trial was granted was purely; technical and not upon an exception taken by counsel for the defense at the time of trial.' It was a forced effort to follow precedent rather than substantial justice. The minority opinion given by Judge Boise is clearly in the right. When an at torney takes upon himself the obligations of his professions he is in honor bound to do: business committed to his management on honest and legal principles ; there is no code of honor or obligation to clients that will' warrant any illegal, dishonest practices or the taking of any undue advantage of an un settled principle or technical defect in the law. Counsel are supposed to be educated in, the law for the purpose of aiding and facilitating the adjudication of differences in-. the interests of justice, and not to mislead and defeat the right. The Republican Party. That the safety of the country rests in the full restoration of the Iiepubli-, can Party to power, there remains no shadow of doubt. With the Demo-, cracy in control of the Government, it requires no prophetic eye to see. that the Republic will be placed in, far greater jeopardy, than when its fortunes seemed to so fearfully vibrate in the balance when treason assaulted ts life on the field of Gettysburg. It was the sacred mission of the Re-, publican masses to save the nation in that supreme hour of peril. It was its mission to cary the standard ot un-. ityand free law through all that bloody period ot conflict with the. Democratic party. And it is its mission now to uphold the authority, of the unity of the Republic in the immediate future. With the Democratic party in pow-. er, all is lost. With it held in abey ance the country is quite sate. Dem ocracy means overtaxation, malfeas- ince, rebel restoration, plantation. manners', and the supremacy of the Church in all civil affairs. Of course, time is requisite to bring this, but its comin;; is as sure as it is that results follows cause in case of the elevation oi' the Democracy to power. Ihe asseveration ot Hill, btevene. Lamar, and other representatives of the old Confederacy to the contrary, are as meaningless as are the winds. , They could declare nothing more than fidelity to the general good. . These men are shrewd and politic. Upon their hps now rests as sweet, perfume the sentiment of loyalty tos the Constitution. But in their hearts, still Uvea the spirit that awoke the rebel yell on an hundred battlefields, that starved and imprisoned our sons, and that finally struck at the national, heart in the person of Abraham Lin coln. 1 In the failure of the Republicans to carry the next Presidential election,- comes upon us one of the saddest and uarKesi periods oi America History. It will be the inangueration of an era which will take its place beside that of the gloomiest epochs in national annals. So let every element of patri otism begin to prepare tor the neanng struggle of 1880. Vigilance and ac tion should be the watchwords with every Republican from Maine to Ore gon. Commercial (Cal.)
