George notice with interest that contest over George's seat has beon officially included in tbe house elections com mittee, for according to their information the contestant, Dr. McDowell, of Balom, , received only one vote and that was oast ' by himself. They doscribo McDowoll as ft crank who has similarly endeavored to contest the elections of at leant three of Goorge's predecessors. It is understood when the house com mittee to audit expenses of the illnoss and funoral of GartJold moot after roccss that Marshal Honry will go before tho committee and ask in the name of Mrs. Garfliold that Dr. Hoynton and Mrs. Bnsan Ednon be inolndod in the distribu tion of awards to pbysioianB, and that Steward Crump aim other attendants shall also receive proper recognition. This will be urged on tho gronnd that they did much to mitigate the president's sufferings in his last days. Tribune's Washington special says: One of tho interesting political papers of tho session, it is understood, will bo on tho star route swindles by ft prominent republican representative, in which he will deny that any of the ill-gotten profits were used for the republican ticket in the hint presidential campaign, and will show that contractors contributed 820,000 to defeat Ilamlall delegates in runusyl vania, besides sending $30,000 to Cincin nati which whs used in nominating Han cock, and additional sums for the lutter's election. There has been a good deal of ohattor about the minister of Groat Britain ut Washington being a uaeuoior and yot a father of children. The fact is Great Britain cover commissions a man to high ofllce whose social record is not good. The prosent minister, whon ft young at' taobe of tbe British legation at Madrid, married an eatimablo Spanish lady not of equal rank, lived hupily. for years and recognized her as his wife, although court journals never announced tho marriage. He was legally married, and that's the whole story. Sinoe his wife's death ho has lived singlo. Mr, and Mrs. J, W. Gibbons, who re sides near Ashlaud Ky., went to mooting Friday night, leaving ft daughter 11 years old, Miss Emma Thomas, 17 roars old, and ft son, Bobbert Gibbons, it the Gib bons homestead. During Friday night some villains came to the houso, outraged both girls, saturated thoir clothes with oil, set the house on fire and killed young llobert Gibbons, who attempting to give the alarm. All three of the dead had their heads split open with a hutchot. No clue to the murderers. One thousand dollars reward has been offered for their capture. Gibbons' house was bumod to ashes, only the ohimuey loft standing. Dr. C. U. lloKflnhaucr, ft prominent physician, was assassinated at his rcsi denee, nine miles from Fine Bluffs, Saturday evening. The assassin fired through the window with a doublo bar rel shot gun and lodged fifteen buckshot in the victim's body. Suspicion points to Loe Chow Chinese laundrymen, as the guilty party. A few months ago Lee Chow was married to beautiful but ignorant girl named Kstello Smith. Shortly after the marriage he and his wife settled in Dr. Uoseuhauer's neigh borhood. An intimacy soon spruug up betwoen the doctor and tho Chiuaman's wifo and ho forsook her husband and took op her residence at the doctor's house. Subsequently Chow persiudod her to leave the doctor and return to him. Action was brought in tho su preme court by J a. D. Brewster and others against Walter F. Hatch, J. Warren Brown and others, trustees of the Dunderbnrg Min ing Company, to compel the aocountiug ' 8t'i,000 shares of that company's stock. Plaintiffs claim that they contributed a.V),000 on representation that the com pany's 150,000 shares of stock would be needed to purohaae mining lodes in Colorado. Mining property was purchas ed by defendant Brown for tho value of 64,000 shares, and he, it is alleged, reas signed the property to the company for 100,000 shares. Plaintiffs claim that at the tims they contributed Brown knew he ould purchase the property for less than 150,000, and Ihey ask that the surplus of 84,000 shares over the contract price be divided among the stockholders, Defon dsnts demurred to the complaint, which ' demurrer Judge YanQoenen to-day ovor rulod with costs, granting them leave, - howsver, to serve answer.

Scarlet fever is increasing in New York city at an alarming rate. According to returns it is unusually malignant. For tbe week ended Docombor 17th 224 cases were reported and 64 deaths recorded The rooord of the week ended Saturday last approaches 8000; number of deaths during the woek from that disease, 82. Saturday 17 porsons died from the same cause; Sunday V and to-day ii. Smallpox seems to continue in Chicago at tbe same rate oi mortality ana increase as heretofore. One of the chief causes is that country towns send their coses to this city lor tba authorities to care lor. One man was discovered on the outskirts of the city who hod been takon with the disease while working on a larm in va page oonnty. and at once hustled off on foot to Chicago. His face was a mass of blotches and be was steering for tbe pest house. The diseaoe has also broken ont at the conntv hospital. Three oases were discovered there. They of course were taken away and ail visiting at tbe uospi tal has been stopped for the presont. Guiteau spent Christmas very quietly. Few persons are permitted to enter tho jail Sundays, and only bis oroiuor ana sister are allowed to visit the prisoner unless by authority from Judge Uox or Scovillo. Jno. W. Guiteau, accompan ied by ft few acquaintances, called during the day and hold an interview with his brother. Late this afternoon, after those visitors had left, Guiteau partook of hearty Christmas dinnor. The prisoner has prepared another statement for pub lication, which, he intimated, contains important and interesting revelations boaring upon the case. He wants $1000. AtMt. Carmel, Ills., several doaths from smallpox having occurred, the mayor ordered that services in all churches be stopped. One ohurch re fuses to rooognize tho order, and held a fostival. Tho mayor tboroupon tele graphed for advice to the sUto board of health, which instructed him to compol obedience to his ordor by foroe if neces sary, and to call for state militia to aid him in csso ordinary ofllcors woro power less. They also instructed biiu to have everv person who attended tho festival vaooinatod. This inoidont illustrates the aotivity of the state board in stopping tbe scourge, and also their apprehension that it will become epidemic Joseph McLeary, who was recently sent to St. Francis hospital for alcohol ism, was seized with tbe worst form of black smallpox, and refusing to go to the pest houso, was allowed to go home. A friend porsuadod him to go to the police station and helped him along through tho streets. The police, on hearing of his approach, barrod the doors, and tho man was deposited on tho sidewalk whore ho died and was soon surrounded by a large crowd, mostly ohildron, A cloth was laid over his fuco, but was several times lifted by curious oh'ldron. Tuj friend who was with him was lockod np for trying to gut into tho stution to bco ollloers. Tho News has an interesting Washing ton letter, evidontly written from a stalwart standpoint, which discusses tho question of Diane's candidacy in 1884, It says Bluine, though out of ollloe, is not by any means out of politics. Ho iH as acute and ambitious as evor. He Hinds himself opposed, howover, by tho man in the White House, who is as great a politician as himself ami who is making no mistakes, w ho knows that his acts are bo'ng koenly observod by Bluine and that his errors will bo used to Blaine's advantage. ' Blaine is especially anxious not to havo Chandler appointed to a cabinet position. He would prefer au entirely stulwart cabinet, as that would give him more oapiUl. Chandler is looked upon as a man of great houor. One of the !UH1 said: "Chandlor gave ub more trouble at Chicago than anybody else, but he always fought fair." As Garfield's friond and legatee Blaine will have the strongest hold on the Amorican pooplo, and that is the light in which his friends view him and would have him viowod. A Washington dinpatoh of Deo. 24th says: It is asserted that the president had determined before he went to New York to nominate ox-Seuutor Sargent for secretary of the interior and Win. E. Chandler for seereture of the navy. This decision was subject to revision after Arthur's arrival iu New York. Tho pres ident, howover, had little or no doubt that anything would happou in Now York to lend him to change his mind respect ing Sargent's nomination. He was not bo sure, however, that ho would be gtven such suggestion respecting Chaudler's nomination as would confirm him in his determination. A gentlomnn who saw the president at the White Homo a tew days before he went to New York and who has since seen him there, returned to Washington this morning feeling very oorUin that these two nominations would be made and that Lincoln would remain in the cabinet. Sargent's nomination bos been urged by some of the leading stal warts, and that in spite of the fact that they realize the country will regard it as a uumiuation nntit to be made; but Sar gent is a man of rrnft and onnning, and his political oounsols are highly prized by stalwarts. Grant, it is said, did do sire that ex-Senator Chaffee should go into the cabinet, and the president for sometime had Chaffee's name under ser ious consideration. It was soon learned, however, that the nomination of Chaffee would not be wholly satisfactory to stal warts of the Paoitlo slope, while that of Sargent would. Besidas it was believed that Chaffee had too large landed inter ests in tbe west to make it at all proper that he should accept the nomination, or that it be offered to him. Some of the leadiug mon here, however, regard this reason as of small consequence in view of the fact that Sargent would be nomi nated if Chaffee was not. Chaffee has caused it to be understood that ha could not accept any nomination, as his busi ness requires all his time. ruaoiaeo. De.

Tho throo leading artieloj of jewelry at the present time are bracelets, lace pint, and linger rings. Eurrings.exoept where brilliant solitaires, or other geuis, are to be exhibited, aro less worn than ever before. Necklaces, with tho pros ent stylo of droHS are unnecessary, and therefore, have beon almost ontirely abol ished, and wutohos with chatelaines long ago superseded the obtrusive long chains. Unicjue settings uow receive rare and precious gems, but the fancy stones that are classed gems by mineralogists are rapidly obtaining a commercial value, according to tho variety of colors they exhibit. Even the time-honored soli taire diamond for an engagement ring, frequently gives place uow to an asso ciation of colored gems and diamonds. A favorito combination for rings con sists of tho ruby and sapphire with diamonds. The ruby and sappbiro.by tho way. aro two exceedingly popular stouos just now. Another combination is that of the white sapphire and thoohryos berl. Among funcy stones, for which thore is a special demand, ia tho spinel. There is a natural crystal, containing about soventy por cout. of corundum, very hard, and showing colors that are not found in any other stono. In this olass ooiuos tho tourmaline and jargoon. These are much used iu both riugs and lace-pins. A peculiar utono is a variety of chrsoborjl, called Alexandrite, after the Emperor of Russia. It is emerald green by reflected light.and red by trans mitted light, being, therefore, green during tho day and red at night. "Cat's Eyes ' are encircled with diamonds and mounted for a ring in ft setting repre senting a cat's claw. A unique ornament is a brooch having a center of transpar ent chaleedony, overlaid with opaque white figures in relief, and set with dia monds, presenting a surface of three whites, brilliant, transparent and opaque. Another instaneo of unique jewelry is a brooch in form of a great spider, the legs boing of oxydized silver and the body of diamonds. Limoges enamel is much used, and with good re sults, on medallions and lace-pins for ladies, and on soarf-Dins for gentlomon. Lace-pins, wbilo having great variety in the designs for setting, come usually in the form of straight bars. The flexible bracelet with fancy ends has replaced tho less graceful broad bands, chain and bangle bracelets, and medium-sized watches have taken the place of the mini ature watches that were originally in troduced with the ehatelino. Gems Take one cup of corn-meal or rye-meal and two of Graham flour; put into it a pinch of salt.a spoon f ul of sugar, two teaspoonsful of phosphatio baking powder, and then sift it twice through sieve; mix to ft stiff batter with either sweet or sour milk; grease patty-pans or gem pons; put one large spoonful of bat ter in each and bake immediately. THE SUNSET STATE. rrram tba PorUaai I'Mlng TaUffrual Men muit move. The spirit of change is prt of our natures for wrhiob we aro no more, accountable than for tbe love of life. All change is progress. The more restless the individual the more ho adds to the jwwer of the spirit of chantre that which sends lue worm atnnr Hnrnn nail It eiterprise. TllOUS amis of men are thinking where tbey will move next. Let them oome to the Northwest, which has its headquarters In Portland. Whv?

Kansas, twenty yean after John Brown and Lill Achinon. added 400,000 souls to its population in a year. Nebraska ten years aiier me umou x uumu, wu m growing at tue rate oi au.wo peopie per month. Minnesota. Dakota, Colorado and Texas have found their greatnoss and Oregon is at the door. To be hore now. or soon, in to have an onnortnnitv to rean great advantage Tberisoofft State from two hundred thousand people to one or two million in the course of ten years is more wonderful than all tbe conquests or crownea ana savage antiquity, and tba wealth created ia greater than the riches wrested from a conquered kingdom. Oregon ana tue great Northwest, after years of inactive waiting and silent preparation now trem bles with tbe gathered impulse which will send it upward in its turn tbe latest and the grandest spire of progress. It bos grown the slow growth of the germ and garnered the strength needful for age. It can receive and set at work a quarter of a million people next year and the year siwr ana me next, ine mountain cuuins which, like mighty ligatures on the arm of earth, shut out the lestless blood of the timos, will soon be out by railroad grades, and, bounding through these arteries of modern world lifo, will come an irresistably tide of men, money force, to swell tins country by ten twenty times its present rtation. Even now, like the guests on board at the launch of a ship, we can hear the blows that are knocking away the blocks, and feel the grating of the keel A3 it takes weight on tbe ways. Every breath of east wind brings the swell of powder smoke from the tunnels which will soon tap the rest less west and let in the flood. It is ready to come people by the thousands. What will they find? The atmosphere, the sun, the sky, the soil best adapted to the growth of the principle of progress and working of the problem of people. Here ls.New England with the climate of r ranee; bnt the mountains are bigber, tbe valleys wider, the streams are larger and more clear; tbe soil is richer and deeper, the sky is brighter, the air more pure and nature herself always bettor natured. Tho climate of the Pacific Northwest is as varied and beautiful, as its prairies, valleys, bills and mountains. No country was ever so unjustly and persistently slandered in respect to its liniate as Oregon. The titlo "Web- foot" given its people by Californians in derision, implies a lie which is further told in the monstrous stories about "rain in Oregon." The whole coast is a battle ground between land and ocean currents, Iu summer whon the land-air. warmed by the sun in the valleys and over tho plains, receives and absorbs the moisturo that floats in from the ocean, we have the most beautiful of blue Bkioa and tbe most delightful of warm days and cool nights. In winter when tho ocean cur rent sweeps over the land, clouds and mists of course obscure the sun, and wben cold currents of air from the nioun tains comes down on this mist v air from ocenn condensing it. wo have raiu. Then the air clears unil tho sun shines. It may be ocean air or the mountain air which drives the other back over ns anv day in winter. If tho first it is warm and misty, if the lust it is clear and cool, raroly cold enough for skating. It must be borne in mind that the Pacific North west is made up of vast mountain chaius with wonderfully large vullevs interven ing, in which are spread groat prairies. or a succession of small mountains, bills ana valleys. At tuo sea coast the air is hnmid, away from tho coast it is dry, Tbe effect of the air currents between sea and land is not the same in all places nor in all years. Yet it averages uniform for each location, one year with another. It is probablo that there is no place in tno worut irom whence a choice of cli . . . . i-i . uiaio cun ue so reauuy niaae or bo cheaply obtained as from this city. In the coast counties, a day s lournev awav. the climate of Nova Scotia prevailf.witb- out its autumn and winter. Here, we nave tue enmato oi irginia, if we bar its hot days and the summer storms of rain, hail and lightning. It is but a day's journey to the regions of perpetual snow on the backs of the huge cascades. It is a day's journey to the Bunny valleys of Southern Oregon, where a White Mountain summer and a Florida winter succeed each other, barring again the terrible storms of both. Two days' journey goes to the alia Walla coun try, where there are New England sum mers and Maryluud wintors. Of cold and temperate we have all degrees; only of tbe deadly tropical have wo none. Writers who have de scribed the grandeur of our coun try and artists who have painted its peaks and waterfalls have noglected the broad sweep of the shoulders of the mountains as tbey rise, swell above swell to the very clouds. In the view of the mountains to the East of us on our first page there are three peaks which are per petually snow capped. The wonderful rocks and abrnpt.towering heights which have given their impression to all writ ing of our mountaius, are in the middle of the picture where it is seen the Columbia river comes through them. There are thousands of feet of perpen dicular rock, but on their tops there is everywhere a rich, deep soil. The moun tains are rongh and rocky only where they are seauied and cleft bv water courses. On the tops of the hills, seen beyond the Columbia, there are farms from whence the grandest sunaeta of earth may be seen; and not beauty alone but thrift is there. Beyond those moun tains are the valleys and prairies of Eastern Oregon and Eastern Waahing- ton, and then more mountain, and 'al leys again. Who eonld sum np tbe cli mate of such country in few words.or measure it with statistical flgurei of tem perature and rainfall Tba warm stream of air brought from the coast of Southern Alia nd thrown upon this land tempers its cold in winter and beat in summer.
