' A communication has been received at Forest Grove from the war depart ment stating that the arms due Pacific University have been ordered sent, They consist of two cannon with all their equipments, and 200 cadet rifles with bayonets, knapsack, belts, etc. TheBe arms have been due ever since an officer has been detailed. Out of the funds that Dr. Herrick lias been raising for Pacific University $100 have been appropriated for the use of the laboratory. and Professor Ferrinhas ordered an analytical bal ance and a Browning's spectroscope. These instrument have been much needed in the laboratory. Dr. Her rick has also shipped for tho cabinet a number of valuable minerals, fossils, etc. Nineteen thousand eight hundred dollars a year was the sum paid for mail service in Nevada over a route w hich is thus described by an inspector who investigated the cam) and made a report of the facts U the department : "During the whole journey of nearly 200 miles the only living creatures I saw, except at two stations were seveu sage hens, one coyote, two jack-rabbits, a few larks and a few chipmunks or ground-squirrels." The contract for this" service was let originally to a stage driver for Hilmer fc (Salisbury for $5, 900 and when he failed to execute it was awarded to his employers for $10, 700, and they obtained an order for expediting, which made a fat thing of it Of course the service has been dis- ' continued. Old Style-New Style. The exact length of a' year is 3G5J days, lacking about 11 minutes. In correcting the calendar, nearly 2000 years ago, Julius CR'sar reckoned it at 365$ days, and mado every fourth year consist of 366 days. This is an excess of 45 minutes in four years; and this error being discovered, Pope Gregory XIII ordained another correction to take place in 1268. He ordered that the dates should be altered so that the fixed feasts of the church should take the dates they would have had if there lyid been no error, from , the time of tho Council of Nice A D.,325. The error amounted to ten days, so Christ mas day, 1581, was celebrated on the 15th of December, but it was called as liefore, the 25th, that is ten days were omitted. England did not adopt this change until 1752; it was ordered that the third-day of February should be called the fourtonth, thus omitting eleven days. Washington was bom February 11, 1732, O. &; to adjust it to new style, his birthday is put on the 22nd, for the day that would have been on 11th of February would that year and thereafter be called tho 22(1. Another change was also made in Brittain and her colonies' with the new style. The beginning of tho year was changed from the 25th of March to the 1st of January, so that 1751 lost its January, February, and twenty-four days of March, and thoy were counted as tho first part of th year 1752, new style, or the last part of 1751 lost its January, February, and twenty-four days of March, and they wero countod as the first part of the year 1752, new style, or the last part of 1751, oldstyle, and so with any dates previous to March 25th, if given in new style and old style the year will diller. Russia has not yet made tho chango, and now, tho error is twelve days, so that they in Russia celebrate Christmas twelve days after the other European ecu ntrieR. S. F. Post Etsptcl Women. There is nothing manly, my dear boy in making light of women. For your mother's sake, honor the sex. Never us a lady's name in an im proper place, or at any improper place, or in mixed company. Never make assertions about her that you think are untrue, allusions that you feel she her self would blush to hear. When you meet with men who do not scruple to make use of a woman's name in a reck less and unprincipled manner, shun them, for they are the worst members of the community men lost to every sense of honor, every feeling of human ity. Many a good and worthy wo man's character has been forever broken and htr heart broken by a lie, concocted by an unprincipled villain but U'lieved by people of good princi cles who are always too ready to be lieve slander or condemn imprudence and crime. The smallest thing derog atory to a womans character will fly on the wings of the wind, and magnify as it circulates, until its weight crushes the poor, unconscious victim. Remem ber this if you are tempted to repeat it or listen to a scandalous lie. Referring to the statement in yester day's Oregonian concerning the prola blu formation of a new channel through the middle Rands, Capt. Geo. Flavel of Astoria said to a reporter of this paper that a good channel for small deep water vessels had existed for six months or more. There was alout sixteen feet at low water, and his pilots had towed in several vessels through, notably - the City of York. He thinks it prolable that within a year, with proper scrap ing, this will lie the best channel since 1841. The bar is less than 800 feet wide, and on either side the depth of water is from six to eight fathoms, ac cording to soundings by his tugs. Width of the channel is not less than 1,000 feet Should the channel deejien as expected, it will give a better en trance than the present, because tli. re will be but one shoal to cross: now there are two, the liar proper and the cut-oft It will be safe to sail in with favorable winds, because the liability of breezes falling, as often happens when veasels get Ix-liind Cape Hancock U very smalL Ort-goniaiL froieeiW u ReVeaae.' Revenue and protection aosdfuUljr ' exclude each other. They ha noth ing in common except that they have lieen combined by law. The? pecplo of the United States submitted to taxa-' tion, becauso they thought it nrnwry for revenue, and the protectionists seized the opportunity to load the truly productive industries of the country with heavy burdens which give the' government not one cent of revenue.' Any tax which acU protective keeps imports ovt and they produce no' rovenuo,v Hence, protection a4 reve-' nue exclude each other. The torf then' Mis on the people, but the revrnu all' goes to the protected producer? In 1877 the imports of eoppef were' $20 in value and they paid $11.50 in' duty. The tax was therefore 38 J per cent ad valorem, and" was prohibitory,' and the tax to thai amount paid by the peoplo to the American copper' miners, who have the richest and most' accessible mines in the world, produced not a cent of revenue. The imports of copper manufactures were $80,000, and tho revenue $30,000) or 37 J per cent which shows that the tat was almost prohibitory, but also that the tariff was a dead loss to the copper and" brass manufactures. K the copper and brass manufactures could hold the market with les protection than the' raw material, the eoald hold it with-' out any, if the raw material were free, and the system only cripples' them trt machinery and other supplies.'' If pro-' tccted infants ever cpuie 6t age these two ought to be considered near it Rare We Revenue Tariff t Every man in any degree familiar with our present tariff and its opera tion knows that it is weighted with' anolamies at once absurd and fraudu lent. Many articles upon the list are' protected by prohibitive duties whiclV take countless millions of dollars an nually out of the prukets of Amerieaw' consumers for tho sole benefit of favor-' ed monopolies that do not employ, all' told, a hundred workingiueil; By way of example' rici is subject at present to a duty of 85 per cent Diamonds pay only 10 per dent Now,' will anybody fell us how the country would be ruined if the poor man's rice pudding was reduced to half its pres-' ent cost, and the rich man's brilliant soltaire made somewhat dearer! The duty on fine laces is only 35 per cent; tho duty on the poor man's blan ket is 100 per cunt; making it cost him' just twice its market value for th - sake of a few radical mill-owners in' Rhode Island and Massachusetts who' employ but a few hundred "hands," and grind these, down to' stWatioii' point N.
