CORVALLI8 COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT EX-
ERCI8E8
Wednesday, Mat 28, 1879.
At 8i o'clock prayer was offered by the
Rev. H. P. Dunning. After music by the
2d Brigade Band, came the oration of Mari
on Reed Elliott, B. S., on "Economy of
Public Morals." That economy which re
sults from public morality. To undervalue
the importance of a high standard of public
morality, is to enshroud our country in a
night of deepest darkness through which in
dnstrial advancement will shine as a small
taper. None but the good can make good
laws, none but the just can administer jus
tice. Philosophy is essential to morality
It holds in check the fanaticism that put
Socrates to death, and that opposes the in
vestigation of nature at the present day.
Oration, by B. T. Soden, B. S., on "Com
munism." Progress is the watchword of to
day. The progress of a nation is a striking
example of evolution. From the primitive
state of man to the present, is a long stride
upward and we may readily conclude that
the human race will continue to advance.
Communism bars the onward march of pro
gress it means the abolition of property.
The good government must give protection
not aid, to the individual. Democracy
leaves the man free. Doctrines advocating
free education by the state are a species of
Communism. Must the parent be relieved
of the first duty he owes his child ? A
child is as much entitled to an education as
to food and raiment now if the state as
sumes the function of parent in one elemen
tary branch, why not in all ? Mr. Smith is
responsible, as father, for the care of the
minds as well as the bodies of his chil
dren ; but, in the capacity of citizen, he
must look after the mental training of Mr.
Jones' children. Parents thus pay only
about one sixth to educate their own chil
dren, five sixths to educate the children of
other peoble. So they think. Hence the
attention to children at large is five times as
great as that to their own. The private be
ing so small is liable to disappear altogether.
The condition of a nation depends upon the
nature of the units. Early settlements are
found near natural outlets ; the system of
protection virtually removs these settlements
inland. In spite of the numerous attempts
to ruin our country, she moves majestically
forward to her motto, Excelsior.
Oration of Ernest White, A M., on "The
World is still deceived by Ornament." The
W boy soon learns that his effort to catch the
echo is vain, and desists from further at
tempts. But man is not so wise. He lo
cates his castle of happiness, but fails to
find it it is always a little ahead. The
mind can make a hell of heaven, a heaven
of hell. Our chief happiness is in auticipa
tion. Napoleon deceived the world. We
see things ft a false light.
" O, wad some power the giftie gie us,
To see ourselves as ithers see us. ,'
Oration by Dayton Elliott, JJ. ., on
"Philosophy, its conditions and value."
Philosophy seeks after truth. It tries to re
move difficulties from the paths of others.
A preliminary doubt is one of the conditions
of investigation. Truth must be pursued,
regardless of the direction in which it may
lead Young Solomons discuss the profound
principles of philosophy, without knowing
' anything about them. They thus bring the
matter into disrepute. Philosophy is the
most powerful weapon of Theology it con
vinces. It enables the theologian to ex
pound the Bible :
" The book where each his dogma seeks ;
The book where each his dogma finds.'
The speeches were well delivered. After
the conferring of degrees. President Arnold
made some forcible remarks, full of good ad
vice. The graduates were cautioned against
being arrogant not to profess to know too
much in fact, not to profess to know any
thing.
Then came the big gun, Hon. Associate
Chief Justice R P. Boise, of Salem. He
kindly surrendered his whole speech for
publication. Your reporter found it impos
sible to decide which part to leave out ;
hence you have it complete.
The ever-faithful 2d Brigade, Band was on

Another School House Burned. Port
land seems to be unfortunate as respects
school houses, A few months since the
Bishop Scott Grammar School building in
Portland, was destroyed by fire, supposed
to be the work of incendiaries. Last week
the Harrison Street school building, one of
the finest in the city, was burned to the
ground. It cost about $25,000 and. was in
sured for $10,000. There seems to be little
doubt that the late fire was, also, caused by
incendiarism.

THE HARBOR OF REFUGE,
At the regular meeting of the Linn
County Council, P. of H., held on
the 24th day of May, the following
resolutions relative to the location of
the proposed Harbor of Refuge were
passed unanimously :
Whereas. Congress having appropriated
money for the construction of a Harbor of
Kefuge on the Pacific coast, somewhere be
tween San Francisco Harbor and Puget
Sound, and
Whereas, by direction of Congress the
matter of the selection of the site of said
Harbor is left to the discretion of the Pa-
ific Coast Board of United States Engineers,
therefore be it
Resolved, That the Linn Countv Council,
P. of H. deeming Cape Foulweather, on the
Western coast of Benton County, Oregon,
the most available, practical, accessible and
economical point on the entire Northwest
coast for such a Harbor, that the ground up
on the point named contains sufficient mater
ial for the construction of said Harlw, that
said ground belongs to the Government, and
thus the material can be had free of cost;
that the severe ocean storms of the coast oc
cur as a rule along the Central Oregon sea
coast ; that Cape Foulweather Harbor can
be made to accommodate the commercial
and shipping interests of our State in the
shortest possible tirre, and at the least rxf
sible cost, and that therefore we ask said
Board of U, S. Engineers to cosider the
availability, and if, after a thorough examin
ation of it as well as rival points they find
the tacts claimed tor it to be uncontro verted,
they give it the preference which we are
couvinced it merits.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions
be sent to the Board of Pacific Coast Engin
eers, and also that Oregon papers be request
ed to publish the same.
CJ. Farrish, President.
Passed by the Council on the 24th of May.
CHEAP TRANSPORTATION.
The following startling: announce.
ment was made in an Omaha paper,
of recent date, and indicates an entire
revolution in railroad charges. Nev
er was the competition between water
and rail carriage so sharp as at pres
ent, and where it will end no human
power can loretell :
The extremely low railroad freight rates
now ruling are illustrated by the recent
shipments of 1000 cars of grain, equal to
450,000 bushels, from St. Louis to New
i ork, at 12 cents per hundred pounds. It
was intended that the lot should go down
the river to New Orleans, but the railroad
agents made the lowest through rate to
.Liverpool.
THE "SOLID SOUTH."
The action and debates of the Democratic
Congress for the past sixty days have
shown the animus of the Southern members
to be the same as before the war ; and the
tone of the Democratic press, throughout
this land, from Maine to Oregon, and from
the lakes to the gulf, show that the heresy
of states rights is again rampant. In speak
ing of the " solid South," in a debate, in
the U. S. Senate, May 10th, Senator Zacha
riah Chandler, said :
" It was just as
solid in 1857 as it is to-day. It has been
so. id ever since, and it was no quarrel with
the North that made it solid. It was solid
because it was determined to either " rule
or ruin" this nation. It tried the "ruin"
scheme with arms ; and now having failed
to ruin this Government with arms, it comes
back to ruin it by withholding supplies to
carry on the government. Sir, the men
have changed since 1857. There is now but
one member on this floor who stood here
with me on the 4th of March, 1857. The
men have changed, the measures not at all.
.You then fought for the overthro w of this
Governm jut. and now you vote and talk for
the same purpose. You are to-day, as you
were then, determined to either rule or ruin
this Government, aud you cannot do either."
CHINESE INQUISITION.
It has been asserted, frequently, that the
Chinese in San Francisco and Portland hold
secret courts, and have jurisdiction over
their countrymen to the extent of taking
life. Recent disclosures, in Portland, leave
little room for doubt on this subject. The
Portland Standard, of recent date, claims to
have knowledge of the existence of a Chi
nese prison in that city, of which the fol
lowing description is given :
Inside the new brick building on the cor
ner of Alder and Second streets, by the
partner of Quong Ye Loung, is a prison.
One of the mechanics who put in the iron
work defies any man to tind it in one week's
time, so skillfully is it hidden away. He
thinks he can find it, but is not certain and
upon his return to this city will conduct
Chief Besser to its entrance if possible. The
route to it is through a Chinese maze of
dark passages m the center of the building.
winding about here and there until arriving
in a small room in the center. From this
you pass through a spring door of exquisite
design and completely hidden from view,
ascending by another maze of passages and
stairways until reaching a heavy trap door
in the floor of the prison. Once inside, the
victim is closed from the outer world and
stands in the presence of a slow torturing
death. His efforts to escape or give an
alarm are as useless as attempting to stay
the flowing tide. The workman says it is
the most secure prison he ever saw. and in
sists that there is not a man in the city of
roraana wno can gam access to it in one
week's time, if he were turned loose inside
the building with a good lamp. What
crimes are perpetrated here, what terrible
sufferiug and torture endured until death re
lieves the victim is not known, and in all
probability never will be.
Marriages. During the month of May
marriage licenses were issued to the follow
ing persons by the county clerk : Wm. L
Raglin and Sarah McClure ; M S. Wood
cock and Emma J. Simpson ; Jesse Henkle
and Nancy Maston ; Foreman Baxter and
Louisa A Mefford ; Wm. Brady and Mary
Todd ; Franklin Peterson and Frankie Savage.
Comparative Figures. The following
figures will show the number of persons
brought before the city recorder of Corval'
lis for violation of city ordinances during
the last three years : 1876-7, 62 ; 1877-8,
91 ; 1878-9, 55. Crimes of the last year are
classified as follows : Drunk and disorderly,
34 ; assault and battery, 15 other offenses,
"Welcome Stranger," is the name of a
very neat little sheet devoted to real estate
intersts, and published by Wrenn & Holgate,
Real Estate Agents, Corvallis. The print

Salem Town Talk.
The authorities are looking up a man by
the name of Don By land, who has been teach
ing school in the vicinity of Scio. It is al
leged he has been intimate with some of his
female scholars. He disappeared very sud
denly one day last week, and at last ac
counts had not been caught.
MODERN 8OCIAI8M.
It is not generaly known that the late
John Stuart Mill, perhaps the ablest of mod
ern writers on political and social science,
commenced in the year 1869 a book on Soci
alism which, if it had been completed, would
probably have been recognized as the great
est of his works. , Manuscript chapters of
the incomplete work have recently been
brought to light, and are found so nearly
complete in themselves, and so ably to dis
cuss questions now most prominent in the
public thought, that a London Review, and
also The Library Magazine of New York are
publishing them. They are announced to
appear in book form on April 25th, publish
ed by the A:erican Book Exchange, New
York. The price, post-paid, in cloth, will
be 50 cents, or in paper 25 cents- It is a
work which all students of political and
social topics, and all enlightened citizens,
will be glad to read.
They All Take It.
When the system is run down to that
extent that you pass sleepless nights, are
nervous and irritable, have gloomy forebod

No medicine ever compounded is half its

Astonishing Success.
It is ,the duty of every person who has
used Bosohee's German Syrup to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their friends
in curing Consumption, severe Coughs,
Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all
throat and lung diseases. No person can
use it without immediate relief. Three dos
es will relieve any case, and we consider it
the duty ot all Urugtrists to recommena it
to the poor dying consumptive, at least to
try one bottle, as 40,000 dozen bottles were
sold last year, and no one case where it fail
ed was reported. Such a medicine as the
German Syrup cannot be too widely known.
Ask your Druggist about it. Sample bottles

TESTIMONIALS:
Albaky, April 20, 1879.
The undersigned physicians of Albany, having
seen the apparatus used in Ames' process for preserv
ing meats, etc. , and heard the manner of its use ex
plained, together with the chemicals used, will say,
that as used, we do not consider there is any danger
to the health to be feared, either in operating the ap
paratus, or in using the articles preserved. Not hav
ing seen a protracted test of the process of preserva
tion by the chemicals, as used in the manner indicat
ed, we will only say that the theory sounds reasona
ble, and we can assign no cause why the process
should not prove a success.

The undersigned physicians of Corvallis, Oregon,

healthy about it, as used, and that nor fears need be
apprehended on that account. We have also seen
meat, fish, butter, etc., that hai been kept several
weeks by this "process," and believe that its claims
to keep the various articles of provisions sweet and
fresh can be sustained. H. Greek, M. D-,
