"fie rest of the world understand it.
The gratifying report comes that Oregon

whether there was sufficient cause for the
-dissolution of the marriage tie can be raised
in the courts. Also, that "the marriage re
lation is a status rather than a contract, and
so the serverauce of it by legislative enact
ment would not be an act in derogation to
the provision in the constitution of the Un
ited States relative to laws iinparing the ob
ligations of contracts," Judge Wingard assented.
The Hocking valley strike lasted within
a few weeks of an entire year. It was one
of the most memorable labor struggles ever
seen in this country, from beginning to end
disasterous to all concerned, and it is de
voutly to be hoped that we may never see
another like it. To the operators it brought
less of trade, time and money, and to the
workingmen hunger, hardship and pri
vation. In a'country like this such con
flcts between capital and labor should never
be necessary, but they will continue so long
as, in too many cases, aggregated wealth is
but a synonym for aggregated and heartless
greed, and until workingmen are better able
to discriminate between the counsels of

A man in Jackson, Michigan, c'aiins to
have a towel made by his grandfather in
1734 and thinks it a great couriosity. If he
could only get one gaze upon our cleanest
towel which was hung up long last August,
he would not be slow in coming to the con
clusion that his relic is nowhere in compari
son with a printer's towel. Lakeview Ex
aminer. Roseburg Review: One day last week,
while C. W. Smith was hunting in his pas
ture for coyotos and looking in some holes
;imong the rocks, he had oeneluded to stop
up a hole, and on putting his fingers under
a rock to turn it over a coiled rattlesnake
sounded the alarm. Mr. Smith found many
more snakes sunning themselves on the
rocks and succeeded in killing seeial.
Southern Oregon is receiving 85 per cent.
of the immigrants arriving in Portland, as a
result of judicious advertising of her re
sources by mjaus ot pamphlets, several
counties in other parts of the State have
begun issuing immigration literature as a
means of diverting a part ot the population
in their direction. This is commendable
enterprise on the part of aii and commend
able enterpri ,e wins in the long mil.
Following is the kind of weather they had
in New Orleaiis .in ihe 26.li of March, ac
cording to the Times-Dcuiocrat: "The
Spanish bayonet is blooming, the violets are
abundant, roses are opening the leaves are
forming, peach blossoms everywhere, and
yet the weather continues wet, cold and
lisagreeable. Winter is still lingering i
the lap of spring in earnest. Theamature
gardener may be seen of mornings jiving
himself rheumatism fooling around si sickly
lot of garden truck."
The San Francisco Post says: The ques
tion of the prompt completion of the Cali
fornia and Oregon line, from Delta to the
Oregon State line, depends materially upon
the rapidity with which the new issue of
bonds by the Central Pacific Railroad is
taken up. At present there is a depression
in railroad secsrities, and the general pub
lic are somewhat inclined to abstain from
investing in them. The probable result, so
far as present indications go, will be that
little railroad t uilding will be done this
year. Ihe road from Delta to the line is
through a very difficult and mountainous
country, and will require a large force of
men, and a question arises whether the men
qualified for the work can be obtained in
sufficient force this season. When once
c nuneuced, the road could probably be car
ried through in two seasons, if favorable
ones. It may be commenced this year.
What action may be taken is not yet
known,
Seventy-two patents have recently been
issued by the secretary of the interior to the
Lummi Indians. These patents cover about
10,000 acres of the best land in Washington
territory, located on the nothei i and west
ern shores of Bellingham bay, within five
miles of the city of Whatcom. For years
it has been the cherished hope of the citi
zens of Whatcom county that the Lum
mi reservation would be thrown open to
settlement. The issuance of the paten's
precludes the consummation of this much-
desired result. The body of land occupied
by them, although very rich in agricultural
resources, capable of furnishing fruit, grain
and produce sufficient to sustain a popula
tion of 10,000 souls, will never be cultivated
by the Lummi Indians. The salmon, hali
but, crabs and clams can be obtained with
less exertion. At least 95 per cent, of the
10,000 acres of the reservation will remain

EDITED BY THE W. C. T. tT.
According to the statistics, during the
year ending January 30 1884, the consump
tion of whisky in this country was about 127
gallons for every inhabitant, and 14 gallons
o w ne and beer each, ef tobacco aboni
three pounds, including sixty cigars and
fifteen cigaretts for each person. We all do
not share equally in this feast, but we all
share in the effects, thi degradation, the hard
times, "willful waste makes woeful want."

surely there are consecrated dollars some

At the base a mountain scene, with hills
near and far, and a river winding between
