Irregularity iu the oflleial conduct of the late (loo. l Doughty, secretary of the Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacitio Railroad Company, has been brought to light. It is over the issue of 1400,000 of stock of that road. The over issue was promptly turned into cu.m1i, but stock in some way has teeii mauipulutcd so that it was not detected nt the time of the payment of the January dividend, nor was it kuown till tho day of the death of Doughty, which ooeurred several mouths ago. The capital stock of the company was three million at the time it whs made, and there was very general expectation the stock would rise mater ially in value, in which case it could have been brought iu by Doughty at an ad vance, but the stock declined and wus not brought in. Doughty invested part of the proceeds in the Cincinnati, Sclma and Alabama railroad, aud this stock is in the poi.Bciim of Theodore Cook, administrator of the Doughty estate, aud itiselaimod it will very nearly make good the loss.

Tlie most ghastly of all bacchanalian revels was that of the Malley boys and their congratulators over their escape from the law for the murder of Jennie Cramer. The orgie of a pack of Ashiin tee savages, drinking out of the skulls of their freshly slaughtered enemies, and tho American Indian dance around the stake while torturing their cuptivo with burning brands, have less of cold blooded, hard hearted cruelty. I11 the lightest view that lluir own friends can take, these young men were the ennse of Jennio Cramer's death. Did no ghost of tho beautiful gill, done to death by their villainy, rise up in their drinking festivities? "Though yonugiu years, they showed that they wero hafd cnod in crime. Tho cheers in the court room at their escape showed that New Iluven, iu the very seat of civilization in tho new world, bus many more of the same sort. It was confessed that they deliberately plotted to ruin the girl, and brought up from New York a prostitute to aid iu the plot, and consummated it in tho Malloy residence, whero, tho family be ing absent, they made her practically helpless. Tho circumstances make it impossible to belitve that thoy do not know how sho came to her death. The Malloy who dobauchod her swore falsely at tho coroner's inquest. All the cir cumstances point to them as knowing of hor death, and as guilty of murdering her. But evcu if not directly guilty of mur der, how could thoy have tho heart to hold a festive celebration over thoir es cape, in view of tho cruel tragedy of her death, and of their responsibility for her destruction? Tho fact that they did this is proof thut they were hardened enough in crime to do tho murder. Although they have escaped the gallows which they so richly deserve, tho detestation of society should follow them all their lives. There was a throng in tho court room to cheer tho law's failure, end a pack of congratulators to join iu a drinking cele brution, shows that in the midst of a liigh civilization is a elms whoso civil ized, deliberate and hardened cruelty makes tho savago methods of tho aborgi nul savago uoblo by comparison. Summer Excursions. In getting up a picnio of your own, young folks, you must have a settlod plan of action. You must know who are to compose tho party, where you in tend to go, and wht you can do to amuse yourselves when you get there. Theu, too, you must have what iu armies is called a commissary de partment, which shall seo about the provisions. A picnio without a diuner would be very dull. If the spot you choose is not within walking distance, it is well to know whether it can be easily reached by bout or cars, or by stage or carriage. You shonld Bud ont beforehand precisely how much it will cost to convey the party to the spot. Theu select a treasurer, who shall pay all expenses, buy tickets, and take charge of the funds. Tho treasurer must keep an osnct account of every thing he or she may Bienl, putting it down in writing, that a report may be given nt the proper time. In providing luncheon it is un excellent idea for each one to liring some particular article, so that there may K euongh of every thing. llanl-boiiiHt eggs, potted meats, thin slices of ham or tongne.cold chicken and plenty of good bread aud sweet milk, are among the must-haves. Pic nio appetites are famous, and you need plenty ot tho "substantial." Jelly in little glasses, fruit cake, and pie, gener ally please the little people. Do not forget salt. Nor the pepper. Bottles of milk wrapped in cabbage leaves are not to bo overlooked. The girls must re member that so fur ss possible, all pic nio preparations should b- niado the day before. It is not well to leave cooking for the morning of the day you havo to go. The boysv too", should have their fishing-tackle in readiness over night. If swings are to be put np, a mau should lie engaged to see about them, or at least the oldest and most trustworthy boys of tho party sho ill see that the ropes are firm, and the tree branches stout. Nothing is more terrible in its consequence than a fall from a swing. I Modern Turkish Barbarities. No one can read the "Arabian Nights" without being charmed with its romances. They have ever bad a great fascination, especially for tho young. Tbere is a mystery and spell of enchantment about them. Tho mouth waters at the luxuri ous description of fountains in cool courts, soft musio and pnrsosof gold thrown recklessly about like seeds in a garden. And then are we not thrilled by the decided manner' in which the Padishah signals for heads to be cut off, or the Ferashes called in to do their little business of bastinado, to say noth ing of the numberless sacks with their victims floating about id the blue waters of the Bosphorus. We, living on the banks of tho Thames, in the center of civilization, within the sound of Big Ben of Westminister, are little inclined to credit the stories of the fatal effects of a enp of coffee, the bastinado, slavery and physical torture. These things are.how--ever all in fall swing. The ordinary tourist in the East knows next to nothing of its customs. It is only the resident of many years who can speak with confidence of something more than the mere surface of Oriontul life. The truth is that much goes on within the walls of a harem or palace which is terribly secret and mysterious. Yes, mystery and seorecy. Those two words are the pivots upon which everything is worked; and the capitul, Constantinople, to its shame, knows as much as any other city in the East about such matters. Burring docapitution, most of the enor mities are now committed just as they were a hundred years ago. When Sul tan Abdul Modjid, brother of Abdul Aziz, came to the throne, tho amiable monster (who, by the way, drunk six bottles of chumpugne daily, the last bot tle being drugged) had his five brothers bow-strung before bis eye. It was dangerous to have so many mule heirs to the succession; they might be come inconvenient members of tho dy nasty, and so it 'was better to crush, at once all chances of a conspiracy against the throne. Only quite lately the suc cession law was repealed, which re quired the destruction of every male child of tho Sultan's sisters und dinghters. What a sad and touching story was thut of tho "two little tombs with two little red fezzes" dosoribed by Thackeray in visiting the mausoleum; these were the tombs of Abdul Med j id's noohews, the children of his sister, who were slain with tho bowstring. Sultan Mahmoud strangled one, but having sptnpathy for the agony of the poor mother, his daughter, the royal heart relented. He then promised that in the event of her having another mule child, it should be allowed to live. Mahmoud died, and Abdul Medjid succeeded. His sister bore another son, and depending on her royal brother's affection for her, hoped that this infant would be spared. Whatlmpponed? Ho tore the infant son from its mother's boom and killod it. The poor mother's heart broke, aud on hor death bed sho sunt for her heart less brother and cursed him as a per juror and assuMion. She now lies by the "two little fezzes." This story brings u to the Sulcimanio mausoleum. There you can seo the tombs of the seventeen brothers whom Sultan Mahomet III strniigled in a tit of jeulousy; but this little event certuiuly took place some time ago und in barbarous times. Ah, barbarous times, indeed! Tho Oriental code of punishment is r trifle mora civ ilizod than of yore. Thoy do not now thrust people into oveus tilled with spikes and knives, and heat them grad ual 1, nor do they hang their motbors up by the heels to made them confess whero the money is concealod. London So ciety. Southern Hospitality. Turning off from the corduroy road, I took a foot-path, and was soon its neafthe cabin as a high rail fence would allow me to approach on horseback. The most of my readers in tho older sections of tho country will suppose tht.t I had now only to dismount, bitch my horse, climb tho fence, rap at tho door, and so gain admittance to my resting place for the night. For otherwise. Only the most untraveled aud iuexporienced in the brush would undertake so rash on exper iment. Sitting upon my horse, I called out in a loud voice, "Hollo, there!" That cull was for the sumo purpose that the city pastor mounts tho btono steps and rins the bell at tho door of bis par ishioners. It was rather more effective. A large pack of hounds and various other kinds of dogs responded with a barking chorus; a group of black pick nnninnies rushed from tho kitchen, fol lowed to tho door by their sable mothers, with arms akimbo aud han.ls fresh from mixing the pouo or corn dodger for the family supper; all with distended eyes and mouth, staring at tho stranger with excited and pleased curiosity. At id most tho same instant the mistress of tho incipient plantation reached the door of her cabin, stockingless and shoeless, with a dress of woolsey woveu in her own loom by her own hands, and cut and made by her own skill, with face not less pleased and excited than tho others, and her cordial grcctiug of : "How d'v, stranger how d'y, sir? 'Light, sir !'' (alight)-" 'light, sir !" Remaining upon my horse, I replied: "I am a stranger in these parts, madam. I havo riddeu about fifty miles since,morning, aud am exceedingly tired. Can I get to stay with you to-night, madam ?" "Oh, yes," sho replied, "if you can put up w ith our rough fe. We never turn anybody -twuy." I dismounted. The dogs, who would otherwise have resisted myapprweh to the door by a combined attack, obeyed their instruction not to harm me, and granted me a safe entrance as a recog nized friend. Such was the universal training of the dogs, and such tho uni form method of approaching aud gaining admittance to the houses of people in the brush. General Inatieff carried tho spy sys tem during his administration to a pitch previovsly unheard of aud opened pri vate letters in the most shameless way. To a visitor he said one day: "Why have you not nulled on me befure? . Your rel atives have been long urging you to do so in every letter they have written you." Bogus $10 bills are in circulation, and any one who handles notes "f so lar -e a denotninatiou should carefully examine then. Incident or the Revolution. There is a little incident connected with the history of the revolution, which ocenrred in the jcar 1778, at Valley Forge, to which there has not been as much publicity given as h juauj uiunw. We are all familiar with the terrible suf ferings endured by our Brmy at Valley Forgo during that severe winter, one of the coldest experienced for many yoars. It was througu tho most intense suffer ing this winter wss passed by that band of patriots who risked all that we might be free. Brave heroes of liberty! The recollection of their deeds will echo throngh every hill and valley ovor our land until time shall end in eternity. Their sufferings wore great, and endured with patience. Yet there was no pros pect of things growing bettor, but con stantly worse. Tbere wss no hope for to-morrow, and each to-morrow was ushered in with greater distress. The hopes of the bravest began to falter, the feet of the strongest to grow weaker. Ovooome with sickness and fatigue, the bravest saw that their only refuge was in death, and many in despair cried out, "Save us, Lord or wo perish." Over rock and hillside, down throngh hill, valley and ravino the feeble sound was echoed. On a day when the sun shone brightly and the" clear blue back ground was more bosutiful than usual, there appeared upon the horizon a bright speck like a cloud, which ap peared to have come to dim the beauty of that clear winter sky. The sick dragged thonisclves to watch, while the keener observers noticed thut the cloud moved, not away from that suffering band, but nearer, and shaped itself into a small caravan as onward it oame on ! on 1 and over the snowy, frosty road. Presently they heard the creaking sound ot wheel's, when, lo ! to their eager gaze appeared ten wugons filled with food and clothing, each drawn by two oxen and driven by women. On they camo, slowly over the frosty road, patiently plodding to save their loved ones, the soldiers of Valley t'orgo. The women of Philadel phia had, out of their own incomes, filled these wagons with supplies, among which were bundles of their own handi work. These consisted of two thousand shirts, cut out and mode by their own delicate fingers. Other things were in proportion, all done by those noble, pa tient women to save their liberators. The poor soldiers had nearly lost all hope; doath appeared inevitable, when, lo 1 could it be possible, relief was com ing to' them so far away on thoso bleak bills? Yes; those ten wugons were driven by noble, self-sacrfioing women who came to save them from starvation. Tbo sick dragged themselves to the doors of their miserable huts to look out through the cold, frosty air at their de liverers. Tears rolled down their checks, and the sick and suffering all joined in ono loud shout of joy, exclaim ing, "God bless onr deliverers, the women of Philadelphia!" Over hills and down through tha valleys the sound went ringing. On through time, on un til eternity will the souud of praises echo in n emory of that nob!eband who Baved fie trmy at Vulley Forge. Thoso women who asked no reward nor solicited praise. It was on an errand of mercy, for their hearts were tender and their love wus strong. We still havo reason to cry out, "God bless the women of Philadel phia!" and all over the land, for their good works, tho noblo enterprises in which they aro constantly engaged. There are muny noble workers who ore willing to-day to make personal sacrifices for the good of humnnity. The Baine blood courses through their veins, actuated by the same spirit that inspired that noble band who saved from starvation the heroes of the revolution, tlio army of Vulley Forge. Timo yll record their good act. It will bo written upon the pages of eternity. Long alter the truces on the hills of Valley Forgo shall bo blotted out, and not a trace of the foun dations of fort or tent left, will it be fresh and greon in the balls of memory. That generation which has passed nwny has left its rocord sacred in the hearts of all. Tho bodies have long since moldered to dust, but their spirits have ascended, and they have been crowned in glory by Him Who has recorded thoir good deeds and pronounced their work well done. A little boy wanted a drnm. His mother, wishing to give him an impreso- iye lesson, suggested that if ho should pray for it he might receive one. So at night-, when ready for bed, ho knelt down and prayed: 'Now lay mo down to sleep, - (I until a drum.)

As tho youngster rose and his eyes fell on the drum, he exclaimed, in an emphatic manner that banished all serious thoughts from the minds of his listeners: "Where the devil did thut drum coma from?" A Thee with 200 Bibps' Nests. An old elm stands near tho depot in Fair street.' Kingston, N. Y.. which is a favor ite building placo for birds.

Ihero is no commission hoiwe in Portland that has the confidence of the farmers of Oregon and Washington more than D. J.
