On Wednesday evening two youni: persons one a gentleman, the other a lady, were seen at a certain front gate in Corvallis, engaged in protract ed and pathetic conversation. The dim rays of t!ie shimmering moon beams seemed strugslino airainst the protesting clouds, to light the'i coasii n The majestic queen of night was so far successful in this, that she dim outlines of our hero and heroiiie were just visible . "Lneina Manila" said lie with a vo'c husky with emotion, "Lucira Manila: I cannot live without you in the absence of your love, ray hopes are crushed, my heart is rent in twain and the cords of my affs lions lie bleeding an 1 lorn." "Pshaw liezekia," said she with a voice 'ovv and musical as the summer winds. Hezekiah: "yon are jut real nauglrty. It is too provoking for von men to jest on such a subject." "Jesting," said lie, "jesting," and he seemed to grow a foot taller. "I atn not jesting. May my right hand forget hjr cunning atld my tongue cleave to the roof ot my may this ngnt arm tail fnm its socket; may yonder moon pale in the blackness ofeternal night and thu refulgent sun be blown out like an evening isnor if T am listing." Lueinda i Manila, my pet my darling, will yon be my wife?" "The lady replied in a voice, sweet as the notes of the Katydid, and beautiful as the harmony of Heaven. .llljk J Convulsively he clasped her in his arms. There was a protracted of a Icoin cob in the falling o,a clam in DiscM nancy Is the Ccnsas. The most glaring errors hav inoul h; palsied boon discovered and equally glaring things done to cover them up. The manu facturers' division recently reported their results, and they gave as their footings 65,000,000 more pounds of flour manufactured than the agricul tural division reported pounds of wheat grown The division of final results found the contiadictions, an. a talk was held in regard to it. Strangely enough, the agricultural division was accepted as against the divisiotrof manufacturers) and the latter had to be cut down to suit the amount of wheat, grown. The result of the wholj thing is that con fidence has 1 een lost in many of the returns of the Census Bureau, and much injuiy has been done the inter est of the millers who have produced flour. There does not seem to be anv reason why the agricultural i vision figures should be accepted, as those of the division of manufacturers were obtained from responsible sour, ces. and in most cases from the mill ers themselves.

During the year which ended on the 30th of June last, there were carried in the mails of the United States more than one thaosaud mill ion letters. As the population of the country is rather more man uity millions, it follows that, on the aver age, men, women and children, every person in the country sent twenty letters dining the year, and received the same umber. In 1861 the entire receipts of the Post-office Department only slightly exceeded eight and a half million dollars. In 1870, there were nearly nineteen millions. In 1881 thy came near thirty-seven milions. It is not drawing very much upon the imagination to estimate that by 1800 they will exceed seventy millions of dollars. Daily Talk. Proposed Tax oa Greea&sck A biil has been introduced into Congress making Legal Tender notes taxable the same as Gold and Silver. There is $346,681,000 of these notes charged on the books of the Treasury Department. They are used the same as other forms of money, but are exempt from taxation because it has been held that the Government has no right to tax its own evidence of indebtedness. The one oiiject of the bill, no matter what the pretend ed design of the author, is to dimin ish the popularity of the Greenback and to compel ihe Government to retire it from circulation. Many hold that this was the aim of the Resumption Act. But the Finance Minister took a dlfftTeut vew, claiming the right to pay out redeem ed notes as fast aa they were taken in. Btillein. iiSF!EL!
