THE EUGENE CITY GUARD.' - - SATURDAY JUNK 27, 1835 Oregon Produce. The Rural New Yorker, one of the moot widely circulating agi icultural papers in the United States, sent n upecial reporter to New Orloans, wliuso report are truthful and conftcrvutiv in the extreme. The upace given to Oreqon in its regular mention of states is equal to that of Ohio and Missouri combined, and is greater thnn that of New Yor'c or Pennsylvania. The fo! lowing is an extract: "The produc Hons and industries of Urcgon ore most happily shown, and many a visit or has been crandly surprised by the wonderful exhibit of this great Pncfii State, especially in her soil products, Her careful display shows high rank, Wheat, without irrigation, yields CO bushels per acre. The straw is six feet high, heads six inches long. Oats grow over seven foot, straw an inch and a half around at the base, heads sixteen inches long, yielding 126 bush els per aero. Sixty-three grasses are shown. Timothy, seven feet; Ken tucky blue, (ive feet four inches; red top, six foefc two inches, Oregon takes second place to no other region on the Pacific slope for fruit of any ' kind, and her prosont winnings in I for ticultural hall bear out the claim. The vegetables shown aro of immense pra portions. A rutabaga wnighs 58 pounds; a turnip 89; a head of cabbago 41, a potato 8; onions measure 17 radishes 13 J long, 10 inohes around carrots 32 long, 17 around, and so on, There are excellent wool lloecos, and manufactured woolens. The great sal won industry is wt-11 displayed in cans. nd alivo m tanks. I ho mineral co lection includes many dim specimens of all leading ores; and the entire Statu cxhiwS is one of special merit. -. 0 . ....... Hereafter the paper on which the national bank notes and Certificates le printed will bo of bank noto quality. with a single blue silk thread running thro tgli each note or certificate. Si mi lar paper, with one or more bluo silk throads, will be used for other Govern went obligations, except checks, drafts and stamps. Chocks and drafts aro t bo printed on the same kind of paper, with oilhcr'bluo silk threads or a wa ter mark, as tho Treasurer of the United States may decide. Hereafter, also, tho find seal will be placed on the notes under the direction and in tho office-of tlm Treasurer, instead of at tho Bureau of Engraving and Print ing, it being regarded as indispensable that this imprint should not bo made in the building whuro tho eecuritios are executed. The changes were recom mended by the report of tho comnu's sion which has been invo8Li-ating these matters, and its report was approved iy (secretary Manning. Tho Republican organs throughout the Stat' aro clamoring for an extra Bossion of tho State Legislature this Fall far the purpose of electing a U S. Senator. They do uot seem to take into consideration the expense that would necessarily ensue, nor do they Boom to care. Tim people and tho tax payers generally aro opposed to such i course, but if uov. Moody wishes to force such an issue- to tho front, let him do so. Tlit Juno election will thereafter be hold and the Governor would Gnd that tho extra session was a whito elephant for tho Republican party. Tho times are hard, and mon . ey was never scarcer, business is de pressed, and yot, in such a time, tho Governor is asked to still further bur don tho people. Furthermore, if he calls an extra session, let him bo a can didato, and ho will learn tho views of the voters on this point. They will speak through the ballot box with no uncertain tone. By tho first of next month, says Tittsburg dispatch, every iron and stool mill of Pittsburg and vicinity, with oiiq exception, m ill be using nat ural gas as fuel This will reduce con sumption of coal in that place, of over 33,258,000 bushels por annum, or ono- Bevonth of tho yoarly output of the re gion tributary to Pittsburg. While this is a big saving to the manufactur era, it throw out of employment thous ands of laboring men. S, IX Pctingill has taken charge of the Portland Standard, Mr. A. Noltner retiring. Mr. Noltner has published the Standard for nearly ten years, and lias accumulated but little money in all that time and for all bis labor. He was deserving of better success. The new editor, Mr, Pctingill, is a true Domocrat and an able writer, and should le liberally supported by tho Democracy of Oregon. We wish him success financially and otherwise.

The 'hoppers were coming in full force toward the vine yard, when it was at once decided to make a determined cflbrt to drive them oil and protect the valuable crop from total ruin, which would have been the case had no attention been paid to the matter. Water was turned full into the ditches running through tho place, and all hands turned out to beat the bushes and drive the 'jumpers' into th? water. They (lew in myriads before the drivers, lighting in the water, where they woro drowned and washed down against the screens. In this way over 185 grain sacks were filled, and the lot weighed fifteen tons. In num ber they were estimated at 60,000,000. The cost of cleaning them out was $3,000, as it took a large number of men and considerable- time to chase them, but it saved a very valuable crop of grapes and fruit. This extensive vineyard and orchard extends for miles on each sidu of the railroad above Fob som, there being over 2,000 acres in vines and 500 in orchard." Tho real colloquial acquisition of any foreign tongue is stated by Dr. Wolshe in a recent work on .lin Linguistio Fac ulty to bo extremely rare. He thinks it next to impossible for a man to Irani to sneak his own and even onn other language, so as to speak both of them with a proper intonation, inflection, v cal ring, pronunciation, accent and flu ency, and finally, so well as to be a' to translate from cither language into the other with correct phraseology, word collocation, and idiom an epigra matio article on the topics of the clay and a serious disquisition on a prob lem of art or literature. Apart from the mental qualifications which must b united in one individual to enable him to really master a foreign tongue, there are many of a physical character which evidently can be but very rarely overcome Tho oldest paper in the world, the Peking Gizette, has lately taken new lease of life. Established in th year 'JIl, the ruking liazette, has been published regularly sinco 1351 Under tho arrangements three editions are published. Tho first, the King Faou, printed upon yellow paper, con stitutes tho official gazette of the mid die kingdom, tho second, the Haiti Paou (commercial journal), also print ed upon yellow shoots, contains infor mation interesting to the trading coin munity, while tlm third the Titan Paou (provincial gazette), printed upon red paper, consists of extracts from the other two editions. Tho total ciriula tion of tho three issues is 15,000 cop ies. I lie editorship is conmlcd to a committee of six members of tho Acad omy of Han Lin. Tho Latin text is being generally adopted throughout Germany. A sc cinty exists largely composed of scion tide and literary men, who advocate its use. No money contributions are exacted. The members simply agree to adopt tho L'ltin typo in printing their own works, and to encourage its adoption by their friends. It is pro posed to abstain for tho present fron any definito regulation as to orthogra phy and a particular form of type, but to do with capital letters, except at the beginning of sentences and for proper nouns. Little Baron Magri, brother of tho Count Magri, to whom tho widow of Tom Thumb was lately married, has beon oreited for being a giy deceiver. T 1 . t ft. I m ie is accused or. wing mo laihcr ot a child in New York, while ho has a wife and tlireo children awaiting his return in Bologna, Italy. Tho baron is but 31 inches tall, and weighs but 49 pounds. If he wero six feet high with tho samo amount of badness to tho pound that he is claimed to have ately exhibited, ho would undoubtedly ie the wickedest man in tho world. It is said that the grandson of Goe the who recently died, possessed a Hum ber of the foet's writings, which rr mam unpublished.

The cleiks, with one exception were removed md good Democrats installed in their places. Of Gov. Whitcaker's succeKS in managing this office, there can 1)0 no doubt, as lie has already suc ceeded admirably before in 'an execu tive office. The New York World says that Blaino will bo the Repub'ican candi date four years hence. Other papers, however, hold different views. To Build the Oregon Branch. New Yoit, June 21. The Tout' financial article sayi: The Central Pacific company has applied to the stock exchange to list 5,000.000 in bonds of $1,000,000 each, bearing date of June 1, 1885, payablo June 1, 1915. The bond bear 6 por cent interest. The holders have the privilege, in the meantime, of converting the in into capital stock eight years from date. No such conversion will be made, however, at less than 50 per cent of par value. Applica tion in made to lint the bonds in order that the floating debt may be funded as font as possible, and alxo that the Oregon branch may be com pleted to a junction with the Oregon and Cali fornia road, so as to form a continuous line from San Francisco to Portland.
