Nejv York, June 22. A Washington spec nil says tbe postmaster general has made a large reduction in tbe cost d tbe most notori ous of the 8tarring routes, tmm Vinets, Indian Territory, to Los Vega-1, New Mexico. This route which was 725 miles long was originally let under the competition to the Parker combi nation for 6330 per year, for a term of tbree years and nine months. Within nine months the annual pay was raised by expedition and incre ase in number of trips, to $150,691. This was tbe pay for ten months and it then became $1 29.178. Three months later or about a year ago it was reduced to $01,530, and the con tractors will draw pay at this rate until July 1st. San Francisco, Jane 22.

Alb lit, June 22. Conkling addressed the stalwart conference last evening and counseled them to be steadfast fo tbe party of true re publicanism, and to beware of corrupt politi cians try ing to destroy it. He referred to the bribery cases and s-tid that true republicanism would disdain to employ such means to accom plish any ends as were employed by the sup porters of Deuew. He alluded to tbe growing power of monopolies in the country and of tbe various coiporntions arrayed against the stal warts. It was difficult bo said to Sght wealth, but especially so where millions were unscrupu lously used by corrupt ageots. It was time for republicans to put themselves on record. He bad no doubt as to tbe final result of tbe con test between corruption and honesty. Every true lover of his party should expose corrupt ion by whoever it was countenanced and not shield tbem from tbe conseqoesnes of such unme. He mentioned some of the leaders liming the halt breeds, and asked if any n an an for a moment 'ibink ot compromising with such characters. Nkw York, June 24. The Times' Alhnny special says: An exciting scene occurred last night in the Delavan bouse. .Senator Madden met Conkling in tbe upper hall and extended his hand, which Conkling refused to accept. a outer war ot words followed Madden an 'wered in severe terms the sarcastic language f Conkling. Tbe trouble arose because of -ertain strictures of Madden upon Conkling for resigning which have been published. After some a gry by-play. Conkling, who was thorn ping me noor with bis cane and stroking bis er iv beard with bis free hand eyed Madden keenly and then attempted to reprove him for his criticism, and particularly for having said that he (Conkling) was here button-holing numbers and soliciting their votes. Senator Madden blurted out, '-I'm not so polite a some men, and perbaps spoke too bluntly, I - across lots instead of going around. Ynu doi suppose I meant you. were twisting buttons off men r coats do you? ' Tbe ex senator listened and Piatt wilted. Madden, bold as a lion, did not wait to be invited but kept on: "You know what the words mean. You came back here seeking vindication. To say that you were bu'ton h-ding men here may not have beep ac nurately true, but you are here helping vindiea tj ii. I spoke of you in public as a man clear lurough. If you tbmk I spake of you offen sively . it is mistake." "But I would not have said sueb a thing of you," protested Conkling. and then be turned go. "I tell vou the truth when I speak,' said Senator Madden, "and hat is more tboo some men do. You know yourself that 14 years ago you told me I was tbe only man who dared tell you the troth clear through, and I believe it is true now." The Ex senator held out his tand hesitstively ,uadten, wno is not an unforgiving man, took it. . "Good night," said the ex-senator, and he bowed dramatically and joined Piatt.

Paige, accused of robbing W. F. & Co's treasure box in Eastern Oregon, wa tried on one indict-ent and acquitted, wh n on motion of t'le District Attorney, the other charges were dismissed and the defendant discharged. The barber shop of. Hale Back ens to, at The Dalles, says the Standard, was enter on Weusday night last, and over two hun dred dollars taken from the safe. The com bination was put on by Mr. Backensto be fore he locked up, and in the morning the door of the safe was found open, the combina tion thrown off anb the money drawer cone Mr. J. Holland received a dispatch yes terday, stating that Mr. James Phillips, on Monday, in launching the tunneling scow a the lower bone-yard, in Portland, slipper) from the dock into the water and the boat passed over him. His body was recovered an hour afterwards. Mr. Phillips was a man about 45 years of age, and has been at work for Mr. Holland for the last ten years He was a good reliable mechanic, and Mr. H. is at a loss to repl.ice him. Sixty-five emigrant wagons passed thir office since last Saturday, nearly all from California, and on their way to tbe Wall WaUa and Falouse country. Ihey may have left the Golden State on account of br d crop3 in rain or scarcity of cheap land; but evidence enough is furnished that the crop of tow-headed children has not failed in tht last ten years. In one hack we noticed eleven happy looking young faces, the ve hicle being under the management of a bny about eleven yars old, the eldest of the group. Another four horse team was driven by a young lady not over sixtean, with lines firm in hand and a pretty foot on thebrake. she drove through town like a veritable Jehn. As a rule these emigrants have neat and comfortable outfits, and apparently are of the better class, Mountaineer. The family of Mr. James Hackney, one of of the proprietors of the'restaurant 132 First street Portland, are in great distress at the nnaccoantable absence of their son Jemmie, says the Telegram. He left home about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon and has not re turned. The last trace of him was at about eight o'clock last night when he was seen with another boy playing around the Wash ington street wharf by the watchman who sent them away. The parents with their friends and the policejtuthorities are mak ing diligent search for the lost boy. Th family know of no reasod why he should thus thus absent himself and fear that ht has met with some terrible accinent or death. The boy is about eight years old, light com plexion, with a contusion on the eye from a recent blow; he wore a Scotch suit with t light scarf, light hat and a pair of shoes. One of the mountains near the lower Cas cades is sliding into the riyr at the rate of about one foot a year. A year ago, says the Baker City Reveille, when the original sur vey was made, there was a cut of five feet through solid rock at this point. Eight weeks ago the rook was found to have sunk four and a half feet, and to have been crushed into lumps not more than two inches in diameter. A portion of the grade built, a few years ago, by the O. B. N. Co. has sunk out of sight. Several theories have been advanced to account for this sliding of the mountain. The favorite theory is that the mountain rests on shelving bedrock, and as the strong current of the mighty Colum bia washes away its base, the top slips down and the superincumbent weight of the earth and rock, three or four thousand feet high, crushes the solid rock beneath. At all events, whatever may be the cause, the in disputable fact remains that the mountain does slide as above stated Superintendent Hallett, in speaking of the matter, remark ed: "I could not tell it to a man unless he was on the ground here and saw it. No one would believe the story. Such a thing was never heard of before." Information has been furnished us of the discovery of a vein of burr rock near Swett Home, in this county, which may prove or value to its discoverer. The burrs for all the mills in the United States' are brought from France; but the supply in that country is said to be getting exhausted, and we be lieve this is the first discovery oi the kitd ever recorded on this continent. The exact location of this ledge is known only to the discoverer, Mr. Stewart Lewis, and one o two others, but it is generally supposed to lie in a northwesterly direction from Bald Peter, and probably some ten or fifteen miles from tbe poetoffice at Sweet Home. We are informed that samples of the rock were sent to San Francisco to be tested, and proved to be very much superior to the French burr. It is further stated that the ledge has been visited by Portland capital ists, who offered $15,000 for the discover er's right thereto. The offer was refused, but Mr. Lewis agreed to sell a portion, re taining an interest for himself. A company has been formed for tbe purpose of working the rook and a factory for making millstones is soon to be started. There is no limit to the quantity of rock to be obtained and we hope the speculation will prove remunera tive. Albany Herald. WIGS FOB CUILDREX. Impossible as it may be to understand the survival or persistence of fashion in dress, the use of false hair has been re'egated to the gentler sex of this, the last quarter of tne nineteenth century. Unless for the absolute protection of a head utterly bereft of-hair, men to-day rarely wear wigs. The prosperous days of the barber waned when he no longer found a supplementary calling in wig making. If that preponderance of false hair on women's heads, in vogue some few years ago, has been curtailed, small tags of sham curls, fastened on netting, flattened on female foreheads, has been for some time a la mode. There is, however, one fashion getting into vogue which common sense an i the least appreciation of the fitness of things ought to abolish. If ridicule could kill it, it deserves to be laughed out of exist ence. You are passing a house, and a child is seen as if set iu the frame of the window. You admire the beauty of the child, and expatiate on a glory 'Cf'fcsir tumbling down on the rounded Hhoulders. Your wife, who has noticed your expan sivenesa, will not be moved, for she re" marks in a dry, matter-of-fact way, "It is a wig. Why, don't you know that any number of children wear wigs ? You can buy a wig of that kind for $25. Very nice ones, assorted to a child's complex ion, made to order, come higher. " You look horror-stricken, and you ask re proachfully, " Have you been shopping for children's wigs ? Is our own little innocent to wear a wig ?" "No," is the reply, "I only asked the price. Where was the harm? Why, there are thou sands of little girls in New York wearing wigs. I should not be surprised if in time all of them would have to wear them. Some of the fashionable doctors, it is said, recommend wigs they prevent colds. It is even quite likely that chil dren will wear wigs this summer, be cause they will be thought to be cool. " There are, unfortunately, many vulgar people who think that the earlier they begin to make their children humbugs the better it is. New York Tirnee. TUB WORK OF VOLCANOES. Cotopaxi, in 1738, threw its fiery rock ets 3,000 feet above its crater, while in 1721 the blazing mass, struggling for an outlet, roared so that it3 awful voico was heard at a distance of more than 600 miles. In 1797 the crater of Tunguragua, one of the great peaks of the Andes, flung out torrents of mud, which dammed up the rivers, opened new lakes, and in valleys 1,000 feet wide made deposits 600 feet deep. The stream from Vesuvius, which in 1773 passed tln-ough Terro del Greco, contained 33,000,000 cubic feet of solid matter; and in 1733, when Terro del Greco was destroyed a second time, the mass of lava amounted to 45,000,000 cubic f let In 1760 jEtna poured forth a flood which covered eighty-four square miles of surface. On tliis occasion the sand and scoria formed the Monte Hosini, near Nicholosa, a cone of two miles in cir cumference, and 400 feet high. The stream thrown out at .35tna in 1810 was in motion at the rate of one yard per day for nine months alter the eruption, and it is on record that the lava of the same mountain, after a terrible eruption, was not thoroughly cool and consolidated for ten years after the event. In the eruption of Vesuvius, A. D. 79, the scoria and ashes vomited forth far exceeded the entire bu'k of the mount ain; while in 1660 iEtua disgorged more than twenty times its own muss. Vesu vius iias sent its ashes as far as Constan tinople, Syria and Egypt; it hurled stones eight pounds in weight to Pompeii, a distance of six miles, while similar masses were tossed up 2,000 feet above the summit. Cotopaxi has projected a rock of 100 cubic yards in volume nine miles; and Sumbawa, in 1S45, during the most terrible eruption on record, sent its ashes as far as Java, a distance of 300 miles of surface, and, out of a population of 12,000 souls, only twenty escaped. Exchange. Not less that 10,000,000 persons visited camp meetings in Ameiica in tbe course of the past suinni r, and the property used for these j urposes was worth 5,000,000 A sick man in Nw Orleans was told by the doctor that nothiha woulb save him except a quart of cat nip tea.

She wa? in what is called her gibbous phase ; that is, more than half enlightened, be tween the Lr3t quarter and the full. The telescope had a power of 500 or magnified 500 times which so increased the size of our little satellite that only a small portion could be seen at once. She was brought so near that it seemed as if we could almost touch her. Her surface looks more like chalk than like anything else. The scene was one of utter desolation. Deep indentations with immense cones rising in the. center ; huge fissures and crevices black as night ; stupendous cavities, and every conceiv able form of shapeless excrescence, ar.j all that now remain to show where verdure-covered volleys once reigned, mountain tojs lifted their heads covered with eternal snow, volcanic craters sent forth hidden flames, and basins and river be-.ls were covered with surging seas and running streams.

Tbcri- is, however, some variety in thn view of the iuion as different portions of the disk i o:iifc into the field. Now wo have a comparatively placid scene, known as the Sea of Tranquillity, for iu old times water was supposed to exist tlieiv. Now comes the famous crater Liinxsssua, which, a few years since, wa thought to give signs of volcanic action. Then other well-known localities aro glanced at, for astronomers know tho prominent features of the moon as well as those of our own globe. The most interesting view was that of he terminator or boundary line between the bright and shaded portions of tho moon. Instead of the line of light that marks its appearance to the naked eye, the rough edge was formed of golden branches like huge formations of coral. These were the summits of the mount ains iu the moon, just rising on this por tion of tho satellite. The 1 right mountain tops were grand ly beautiful as they were touched by tho sunbeams. Tho scene was still mm sublime and awe insrHring when it mn remembered that the eyes that looked upon it were 240,000 miles away. Youth's Companion. a aiEiMEiirsrs trick. The French courts have allowed themselves to bo humbugged by the niesmeriz. rs, when they admitted as proof of somnambulism the evidence of a needle being tlirust into the nape of ;i man's neck without his feeling it. Many years ago I went to a public mesmeric seanea at Brighton. The mesmerizer thrust needles in the foreheads and arms of a number of girls who sat with hint on a platform, and whom he had mes merized. I thought that I recognized the practitioner, and, on speaking to him after the seance, I found that he had been a butler in the family of a relation' of mine. He showed me how to insert ;v needle into any one without pain. Noth ing is more easy. It has only to be dono very slowly. Proceeding from lecturo to practice, he inserted into my fore head two or three needles without my feeling anything beyond a slight prick. London Truth.
