Stfll the: Senatorial wrungta coir.ia
ues, although tut one wwk morn of
the prwnt amnion rmnniiiH Kirncli
had attained 28 votN, and from
outward appearance ii would hcmu
that Im would not be able to raise tlfc
number, but hin friends clnirti
conGdnntl that he ban at least three
more votes in reserve with a posnibiiity
of enough to elect hint. It is our
opinion, as heretoforo expremec', that
lie will be defeated. If it were not
for a reprehensible prejudice he would
certainly be elected. At this time
it seems that all the other candidates
are working solely to defeat thin
gentleman. The name of Failing is
frequently mentioned; and when the
break occurs, if it ever should, he would
have a cood chance. Moody's friends
are working quietly but earnestly. The
old Mitchell feeling is at fever heat and
may break out at any time. His son
is here looking out lot his interest,
and may bo seen at any hour buzzing
members. One fact seeitis certain, if
election occurs, it will be during the
last week and likely during the last
hour. The Democrats aro still giving
complimentary votes to different gen
tlemen, and will undoubtedly hold
togother to the last. IIop"s are
entertained by a few that no Senator
will be elected. One of Hirsch's
warmest friends made the following
remark one day this week: "Tim
Sonator will be Jlirsuh, a Democrat or
else an adjournment."
The important duty of cleaning Put
the State Treasury will be attended
to. Hie bill redisricting the Statu
was indefinitely postponed in tho Sen
ate thus killind tho measure. 'Ihree
State Normal schools have been
croatod by the Legislature. The school
at Monmouth gets an appropriation of
13800 for the next two years.
One of the vexed questions of the
Session 1ms been disposed of tho rrna-
tion of Morrow county. A lull has
been introduced by Senator Rhinehart
locating a branch penitentiary at
Union. We hope it will pass. The
State University bill appropriating
$30,000 passed the Senate by nearly
an unanimous vote. 'i ho Portland
Levee bill Is engrossing the attention
tf tho Senate at tho present time, A
bill appropriating $10,000 for a Hoard
Jinmi"ration has passed the two
Houses; also a bill for $3,000 in aid
of the State Fair. The bill for a Consti
tutional Convention will pass. The
bill provides that it shall sit in Salem
the first Tuesday in October and be
toted upon at the next June election

Owing to a great and otiexpected
snow storm the memliers of the Illinois

The inauguration preparations are

chairs will f robably be soured for
seats in the ballroom for those who do
not wish to dunce, and the preparations
of fitting up the new Pension building
for use are rapidly going on. The ex
lent of the display of fireworks in
creases with every days consideration
of the subject, and it is intended to
have both night and diy firework. The
day fireworks conMst'of 520 pieces-, to
be fired along the avenue while the
procession is moving, and the Japanese
night fireworks will be grand in the
extreme, including Bhells, bursting with
yarious effects, large flight of from
500 to 5,000 rockets of different colors
floral fountains and shells, batteries of
many colored lights, mines of saucisons
a number of exhibition pieces, includ
ing a large piece representing Niagara
Fall, 300 fret l0n by 03 feet high,
making an area of 19,500 square feet
of fire. Think or it ! Nearly 2'),000
feet pf lire almost hulf an aore of
flame representing the Falls nf Niagara!
If it turns out onii tenth as well as it
is represented, the fireworks will be
worth going three thousand miles to
see.

In less than one year the price of
boxwood has trebbled. The roller
skating mania has completely exhailst
ed the market of a certain size of box
wood. Less than eighteen months a'jo
a ton of three inch boxwood sold for
$38 and it would be first grade wood
in every respect, and admirably suited
for turning small wood. The demand
then was steady and the principal con
sumers of the wood were rule makers,
tool manufacturers and turners, who
supplied the market with boys tops,
pool pins and toys of various kinds.
The sudden and remarkable growth of
the roller skating pastime has created
a constantly increasing demand for the
wood, and now it is impossible to pui
cliase a ton of suitable wood fur skate
wheels for $120.
A ((fecial from Louisville says:
Geo. Abrahams, the butcher of this
city, who recently sent a saddle of
mutton to Cleveland, has received an
autograph letter in which Cleveland
savs: "I am glad to learn your kind
feelings towards mo and tint your
pleasuro consequent upon the Demo
cratic victory, promptod you to tend
to me a saddle of your famous tuut
ton. I don't want to appear small in
a matter of this kind, but I have a
a very great aversion to the receij
of gifts, and I have made up my mint
to ask you to allow tho will for the
deed and to regard you just as cood
friend and brother Democrat as if you
had presented me with a whole car
cass.'
A correspondent reports that the
dav after the nomination of Stanford
Sargent was Cuming down the hot
stairway ni Sacramento, when hs was
met by two San Francisco Assembly
men, who greeted him with a pleasant
"Good evening, Senator." "Good ev
ening, gentlemen," was Sargent's re
sponse, "I trust your consciences win
not interfere with your sleep tonight.
Mr. Sargent seems to have acquired
diplomatic suavity of speech even in
the sourt in which rough and rugged
Bi-nmrck flourishes. 8. F, Alto.
Most persons are laboring unJvtr
tho impression that Mr. Jefferson
Davis lost or had stolen or captured
fro u him during the late unpleasant
ness all of his private papers,' letters,
itc, but this is is not tho case. Mr,
Davis informed the Sun correspondent
that he hat in his possession copies of
all the letters he wrote during tho war,
including his messages. These valua
ble records were saved for him' by
Catholic priest, who recovered and hid
thetn for hint until after his release
from prison.
The penchant of some men foi betting
is well illustrated by the following in
cident related by a French paper: "A

he was only a private soldier, to the U.

the farmers of Iowa were among
the first to break away from the one.
crop system, and diversify their grain
growing with dairying. There are now
400 creameries or cheese factories in
that Slate, and their patrons find the
industry much more profitable than rais
ing wheat at seventy cents a bushel on
land that is worth fro in $15 to $100 per
acre. The St Louis Republican reports
that the farmers in Northern Missouri
have begun to turn their attention in
the sarno direction, and says that ono
half the money and laW expended loft
year in raising Missouri's crop of 35,
000,000 bushels of wheat had been
given to dairying, the net result would
have len double. It argues that "the
markets of the World are glutted with
wheat, but the more butter and cheese
produced, the more their is consumed
the. demand keeping pace with and
eveit outstripint, tho supply," There is
commonly a market for good dairy pro
ducts remunerative, but it is doubt full
if the average profits have been greater
than those gained from wheat taking a
period of ten years together. The pro
duction of good butter is not altogether
a nlatter of disposition. Much depends
upon the pasturage, the water arid cli
malic conditions. The dairyirig belt is
as restricted as the wheat belt, taking
whole country together. The sections
adapted to it can moke the, industry
profitable. It is doubtful if the other
sections can do so. The older settled
portions of the West are experiencing
from the. cheap and virgin fields in the
Northwest stress of the competition by
which they fdrced the farmers of tho
Estem and Middle States to abandon
grain-growing as a relialtce, and diver
sify their productions. History is re
ueatuii! itself in compelling them to
adopt a similar policy.-Boston Herald,
i t .
DesertiuiiH from the British uriiiy is a
great source of trouble. The Lnubon
Truth makes a da-'gestioh fioitlewhel
similar to that of our Chmtittrl sVldier,
General O, O. Howard, nuuH-ly, that
recruits should I marked: Lahnu
chere dots not recommend branding,
but suggests the' tattooing of a small
broad arrow oil the urm nr breast.
He further recommends; "That every
ollicer from the Duke of Cainbrid 8
downwards, consented to b nWked
and I believe very few would hesitate
fur one monient-ihe men would con
siiler thw badge an honorable on-', and
.he army would soon be rid of those
scoundrels who make a trade of de
serting, selling their effects-and often
those of their comrades or olticers-and
r '-enlisting under another name. It
would also prevent the re-enlistment
under another name. It would ul-o
p event the re-enlistment of bad clmru
ters who have been discharged with ig
noininy, or as incorrigible and worth
less."
"I think that both English part e,
are daily becoming more convinced
that the self-government of Ireland
would in no sense be a danger to
Kuglund. If the Irish Parliament were
opened toniorrow.win the days of Grat.
tan, England would still have her forts
and armies in the country. We have
no wish to go beyond that. We want
nothing bat the management of our
own affairs, leaving the wider imperial
to the imperial. "-T. M. Hedly, M. P.

Arkansas journalism is peculiar. Be-'
cause the Legislature diilu't vote an
appropriation to nay twentv copies
of tho Little Rock newspapers for each
member, according to custom, those
sheets firmly refuse to print speeches
