Old Wlnoemucca. Old Winnemucca, Emperor of all the Piutei is in town. He will remain here five days. Whither ho will di root his steps next, is uncertain. He says that out about Wadsworth and in the neighborhood of the Pyramid Lake Reservation there is a plan on foot to assassinate him. lie is in as much trouble aa the Emperor of all the Rus sias. We judge from his descriptions no gives of bis enenues that they are aboriginal Nihilists. These desperate autochthones want to blow him up. He has been blown up so much by the Em press Winnemuoca and the Princess Winneinucca; by the Princes of his fam ily, by his Prime Minister, and by the several ministers that have at various times beeu placed in charge of the Res ervation as "Agents, that he don t scare much at the blowing up business, but he suspects that they have set all the witches of his empire to work on him. He has recently discovered that the hair of his eyebrows is becoming aston ishingly long. It gets into his eyes and annoys him. This is the work of witches, and will soon blind him. His toe nails have lately taken to growing in a manner that is starthngly luxur iant He will soon be like an old bad ger, he fears and only be able to walk on the ends of his toe nails. He also gets hungry oftener than formerly, and his appetite is so great that frequently the means of satisfying it cannot be found; therefore he believes that the witches are so ordering things that presently he will starve to death. Poisoners have been also employed, and he feais to open his correspondence. He never touches a letter until it has been thoroughly fumigated. He makes his secretary place all letters in the tongs and hold them in the smoke of burning camphorwood before ho even allows them to be opened in his pres ence. It was but a few days ago that he found a spider in his champagne. This decided him to leave his palace and seeks the counsel and aid of the whites. ' He wants particularly to see John Mackay. He says if he can but see Mackay and get $5 of him the worst of his troubles will be over. His ene mies can be bought off. It is for this pupose of striking Mr. Mackay for $5 that he has concluded to remain five days in town. Ho expects Mr. Mackay back from San Francisco next Sunday. However, should Mr. Mackay not come he can wait ten duys for him, as his condition cannot well be worse than it now is. He called at this office last evening and said if he could only get a four bit piece now and then, till Mackay re turned from the "Bay, "ho would cease for a time to worry about his eyebrows and too nails would, in short, braco up and bid defiance to all tho witches and poisoners. 1 Strong lane. A Detroit lawyer had a bill of $210 against a certain citizen put into his hands for collection the other day, and he wrote a note askine the debtor to call at his office and see about it The man promptly appeared, looked the bill over, and said: "Well, I guess that's all correct." "You acknowledge the indebtedness, do youT" I.T "And what arrangements will you make to settle it?" "I'll put in an offset I've been feeding two hogs for this man all win ter, and my bill is just $240. I was figuring it up this very morning." "What, $240 for' feeding two hogs for three or four months!" exclaimed the astonished lawyer. "Just four months, sir, and the bill is correct" "And what are the hogi wort h to dayt" "Ten dollars apiece," "Well you'll find it hard to convince the Court that your hog feed was worth any such sum." "Hog feed," shrieked the other, as he suddenly jumped up, "do you sup pose I'm charging $240 for the feed them hogs devoured! No sir. I 'put in the feed at only $40, but the $200 is for my Sunday Iiat, which fell into the pen and was gobbled down, and for my anxiety of mind for fear the pork era would catch the mumps from my children. Mental anguish is the back bone of this ease sir, and every one of roy family will be seated in a row be fore the jury, and all will begin to weep as I rise to ask that jiistice be done a man who lost as fine a cow as you ever saw nine years ago this Spring." Two little girls, twin daughters of of Mrs. Ronham, residing near Mount Vernon, Grant county, fell from a cliff near the house, one being instantly killed and the other seriously injured, though hopes were entertained of sav ing her life. It is supposed the little innooenta were gathering flowers near the edge of the cliff, when one, stumb ling caught the dress of her sister, and both were precipitated to the rocks below. STATE XE1VS. A baby seal was lately captured on coos xsay. New potatoes have appeared in the McMinnville markot There is not a vacant houso in Silver- ton. Dwellings are in great demand. Four hundred persons saw a baptism in the Umatilla river above tho agency. Umatilla county furnishes a China woman, gone crazy, an inmate for our asylum. Crops are late but looking well in Umatilla county. So says the Pendle ton Independent. Through Yamhill there is a greater acreage in grain than usual and crops promiso abundantly. Albany has a now hook and ladder truck coming from New York on the steamer Columbia. One of the most substantial bridges in Douglas county is being built over trench creek. Allen Parker's house at Oueatta Yaquina, was lately destroyed by firo during his absence from home. About SOOtacres of new land has been broke south of Milton, owned by McMorris Bros and Mr. Evarts. A little son of T. R Brown, of Salem, fell into the race near tho uni versity and narrowly escaped drowning- Charles Hartley has sold his farm on tho Abiqua to a Canadian for $2,400, and will remove to Eastern Oregon. Shepherd, tho Clackamas and Silver- ton mail carrier, rides 58 miles a day, each day in tho week except Sunday. A n.an named Oatman was robbed of $250 at Yokum'B bridge, near Can yonville, by two road agents, who coni- manded him to "stand and deliver. On Thursday Inst S. Dyer, of Silver- ton, caught eighteen pounds of moun tain trout in Abiqua creek. He Hold the same for twenty cents a pound, re alizing $3 CO for three hours sport . Silvertown is a town of oaks. They have a place in nearly every yard in town and the hills for miles around are covered with them, and form a pleasing contrast to the firs, which are too com mon in Oregon to be prized much. The eighth crib of tho Coos Bay im provement was sunk last Sunday morn ing; it required threo scow loads of rock to fill it, as tho depth of water is much greater at the point the wall has reached than at the commencement The engineers at Coos Bay have con structed largo water-tight tanks which are lashed to the sides of the cribs which are now being handled, to serve as buoys in moving the cribs down the bay, and also to prevent their capsiz ing. At least one-third tho houses in Al bany have pianos or organs, the Demo crat says, and they have the mechanics brass band also the cornet band com posed of Indirs, the Albany cornet band of young fellows, a glee club and have just organized an orch stra, Whilo the Salem firemen were danc ing Thursday night, the Statesman says, a cry of fire caused great excite ment and alarm, but proved to be only an incendiary effort, the building being an old unused shanty liack of the Willamette University. Word from Siuslaw has been received to the effect that two more bodies from the ill fated schooner Rcultz have been found. One of them is supposed to bo the captain from the fact that he had a gold ring upon one of his fingers. They were terribly mutilated One hod lost an arm, and the other his head. There is an amusing contest going on in Bellevue precinct for the office of justico of the peace. At the Demo cratic primary IL Burns, by way of a joke moved the nomination of S, Buoll for justice of the peace, which was car ded unanimously, and at the Republi can primary the compliment was re turned and II. Burns nominated, and now each party is engaapd in trying to defeat its own candidate and elect his opponent. It is said by the best jud'jes in such matters teamsters and stagemen that the work now being rut upon the military road in the southei n part of Douglas county is the most substantial and best ever known in the state. The officer in charge appear to have a cor rect knowledge of the requirements in the case and is doing the thin; perma nently. The appropriation of $10,000 was made for the rood, and Lieut Kvm onds is seeing that every dollar of the money is judiciously expended. The citizens of the county should spare no pains to make the entire road in as good condition as the lieutenant is mak ing the wor t plaopa. If this is done, we w;!l hear no more of Crescent City roads from Jackson county. 1 Secret for SO Yean. Pittsburg Posr. PiTTsntRO, April 11. Light haa been thrown on a' mystery that haa been inexplicable for over thirty years. The developments are of a startling na ture and concern a man named Griffith, sexton of the First Presbyterian Church, Alleghany, who disappeared about that time. He was addicted to habits of intemperance, and it' was sup posed that ho had run away from hia family and gone to parts unknown. After these many years it has" lieen re vealed that ho was murdered Tha strango story which comes from a re sponsible source, is as follows. Two butchers, when going to Pittebnrg with their meat in the dead hour of night, in passing an old graveyard on Point of Hill, in Alleghany, saw a dim light in it They approached quietly and saw Griffith in the act of lifting a bodr out of a grave which he had opened One of them took in his hand a piece of board and Btruck him a blow, the edgo striking him on tho head splitting the skull, lie fell dead on the body ho was stealing. Beinir alarmed at what they had done, they concluded to fill up over the two, holding that tho murder would never bo known. In the course of time one of the butchers left for some other parts and them died. Tho other became dissipated and once while under the influence of liq uor stated these facts to some friends, who concluded to keep the matter se cret, as the occurrence Uok place many years ago, and nothing but trouble could be made out of it at this late date. The man died a few years ago, and the friends keeping the secret until tho present time. . A fliair Iron llrimn. From Chamber's Journal. In throwing out a ballast or any small article from a balloon, a certain degree of caution is requisite, as a bot tle or any similar object falls with such velocity that if it wero to striko the reof of a cottage it would go right through it We ore told that Gay Lussac, in an ascent in 1804, threw out a common deal chair from tho height of 2,300 feet It fell besides a country girl who was tending some sheep in a field, and as the balloon was invisible, she concluded and so did wiser beads than hers that the chair had fallen straight down from heaven, a gift of the blessed virgin to her faithful fol lowers. No ono was skeptical enough to deny it, for there was tho chair or rather its remains. Tim most tho in credulous could veuturo to do was to criticise tho coarse workmanship of the miraculous sent, and they were busy carping and fault-finding with the ce lestial upholstery when an account ot M. Gay Lussac's aerial voyages was published, and extinguished at one the discussion and miracle. Swearing by Webster. Some graceless fellow in Philadelphia played an April fool joke with the Bi ble used for swearing in the Central Folice Court in that city. He removed the insido from the covers, and glued in tho printed portion of a dictionary. The prank was not discovered until a a large number of oaths had been sworn on the volume. An investiga tion is in progress with the view of as certaining how many oaths have been taken since the book was tampered with. It is stated, in extenuation of the of fense, that the bible was to old it had almost tumbled to pieces. Tho old racing cuts, represjnting horse with both fore and hind legs ex tended almost in a straight line with the body will now disappear. Muy bridge, the photographer, has demon strated by his photographs taken of horses at full speed and in all positions that no horse ever gets himself into that shape. The hind and fore legs are never extended at the same time, and the animal is generally in a position dif erentfrom that in which he is sup posed to be. This illusion is due to the fact that motion is quicker than sight, and that before any impression of any particular attitude of a racing horse can lie conveyed to and impressed upon the brain, the horse is in quite another position.
