It won't (hi to fool With those fellows." UivmTnl Fiirirrrry An Independence correspondent to the Oregnnian writes us follows: -Di versified farming has received a Muck eye in this country. One farmer, who lielieves and swears I y the Oi'egoniun, took itsndviee last year, with the fol lowing result: Hups, ten acres, not worth picking; liulter from ten cows, A No. 1 quality, no market fur it; egns from fifty hens, worth 12 cents in goods; bacon from fifty hogs, can't get any cash for it; only trade nt less than bacon cost; rye, 1200 Inishel-i, worth loss than wheat and no market; hurley, 800 bushels, can only get nn oiler of 45 cents delivered in Portland less than wheat would have brought at tin same place. Add to this dried fruit, which he always had, but which will bring nothing this year, and see what diversified fanning comes to. Please, tell the editor to sing a dill'ereiu song until Portland or some, other town gets enough f-nterpriso about it to build somu factories awl bring some peop'ie to the, country that will consume, pro duce. Wheat raising as a specialty will hold out just as long as cent per cent holds out in Portland. Says the Benton Leader: "Tlm peo plo who are visiting Newport aro hav ing bushels of fun bathing in the surf. The bathing suits are of rather nonde script pattern or pat tenia tuch wearer has exercised his or her ingenuity in getting up a suit out of the material ut hand, We understand that Home of them are works of art in their way. A young lady in desciiidng them to us held her sides at tlm recollection. Everything from an old calico dress tied iown at the auk - feet, to a base b ill costume is worn. One gentleman took tlm pastry on his dress. It wui a long bolster tick. At one end he cut a hole to put his head through and two in the sides for his urms, while, a piece of cord pround the waist completed the effect. We have not heard of any one bathing in the Cieorgia militia uniform yet, but suppose it is done further down the beach in the shelter of the rocks." Thn children of Monnoniftni do not knov that they live in the United States, never heard of Georg" Wash- ingion and Abraham Lincoln, and be. ,. , Iteve that llm head of the .Mcrmoii church it ih ruWof the country. fnsr of Srlf-Driusmn. A distinguished citizen of this city, who had adorned the bench, and w hose services in the councils of tlm State and nation have given bin; deserved prominence in social as well us political circles, was a--guest at a fashionable residence a few evenings since. At dinner he was seated next to a lady who is equally conspicuous for her amiability, beauty and accomplish ments. Now there is one drawback to the serenity of tlm Judge's life, lie labors under tl.o dnmd of becoming a paralytic, believing that the s-'ods of thatfeaiful malady are planted in his system. On that suliject he is a hypo chondriac. As the dinner was in progress, and flashes of wit and learning were inter changed, tlm Judge was seen to drop his knife and fork, lie turned deadly pale, and almost incoherently stam mered out. "Tlm calamity I have feared all my lifetime has at last overtaken me; I am paralyzed." ''How? Why?" ejaculated a dozen of tlm guests at a time, evidently much distressed ut the Judge's misfortune. ' It is even so," said tlm J udge, al most sobbing; "for the. last ipjarter of an hour I have been pinching n.y leg violently and have not felt ihe leist sensation." "Well, Judge," interposed the lady, lio was his companion at the table, "let me relievo your fears, for it was my leg, and not yours, that you were pinching so .hard." Herald. Srv Bilker Cminly .11 in in. Tlm newly developed mines in linker county, known ns the Pine Valley mines, arc thus reported by a Portland merchant, lately returned from that section, in tlm News: Tlm mines are situated sixty miles from Baker City, and are reached by stages. Tlm fare is $6. Nothing much is doing at present, and only a few men are at work. They make from $3 50 to 85 per day, although $10 and $15 to tlm man per day has leen made. But few buildings lire going up at pres ent, and everybody is taking it easy and preparing for a rush later on, prob ably next Spring. Cornucopia is the urnst important place in the mines and has probab'y not fur from L'UO people. There ure also three hotels, two meat markets, three stubles, three grocery stores, und about a dozen saloons. The inhabitants of the town are orderly, and ns yet no iroubln has occurred.

Puisticus started oil', and got as far as tlm door, when the clerk culled after him: "Look here, stranger, take one of these small Is lls for your cow, and you won't have half tlm trouble in finding her; for when you hear her bell you will always know she can't be far ofl." The farmer bought the bell Texas Siflinos, A Somerville, Muss., bride am1 groom, ambitious to be taken for oil married people, borrowiil a 3 year-old boy to accompany them on their trip, but ho brought them only shame and humili ation, lie continually addressed the groom as .Mr. Brown and tho bride as Miss Jones, and one impertinent hotel keeper held them ill custody until he cDuld telegraph to Somerville to learn their auteccd'-nts and relationship. A fui nirr und his wife went into a dentist's. "How much do you charge for filling teeth!" asked the farmer. '"From 82 to 5." "And for pulling!" J "Fifty cents." "Mariar," he said, turning to his wife, "you had better get it pulled " Professor Huxley calls a primrose "a eorollifloral dicotyledonous exogen but he wouldn't do it if the primrogo' was aMe to hit l aok.

It cam there on Friday, having been capture near the famous Black Horn wall, :; the line of the Baltimoie and Ohi i ' railroad, near Deer Park. Marvland' The peculiarity of the snake is that i can and does whistle and sing like i young mocking bird. In general ap pearance it m like the ordinary snake except its head is shaped sotnethinj like a pug dog. In length it measure! ' futir feet, and tlm largest part ot 1U body is 4 inches in circumference.; j When it whistles or Mnrs it makes a series of jumps liko a frog. The head j snake professor of the Smithsonian In-' ' stitution is now at Wood's Hall, Mass.,' j and it will probably lie Bent there for j ! his examination and classification. It '; is in shape and color altogether differ-; ) , en,t from the African singing snakes, and besides issues a louder and more ; t mi I'oinii ii. nnmiri rit u'lu.i n nun ,a M. corded of any of tlm classes of snakes, that are found in the East Indies. A j similar character of a snake is said in the books to be frequently seen on the ' island of Sumatra. So far this is the first singing or whistling snake that has been found in this ctuury. The man who caught it supposed he was chasing a young mocking bird. Errors I'orrccfed. llheem, of tlm Smithsonian Institute, has contradicted much of the popular 1 belief concerning snakes. The venom ous hoop snake, which takes its tail in ' its mouth and rolls along liko a hoop, and tlm blow snake, the breath of which is deadly, exist only in the imagination. The idea that Rerpents sting with the tongue is erroneous. An impression prevails that the number of poisonous snakes is great, but in North America there are but three species the rattle snake, the copperhead or moccasin, and tho coral. Snakes do not jump; they reach suddenly forward perhaps halt the length of their bodies. The Ohio llepublicans are beginning to get in a state of mind over the pros pect of losing the bulk of the 20,000 or 25,000 colored voters in that State. At seme time in the past it seems that Judge Foraker, tho Republican candi date for liovcrnor, opposed the admis sion of colored pupils to the public schools of the State, while Iloadly, his probable Democratic competitor, acted as volunteer counsel in their behalf, The colored men have not forgotten it, and, in case of Hoadly's renomiiiation, are threatening to go over to him in a body. In case this threat is carried out Hoadly's election would be assured, and it is not to be wondered at that the prospect gives the Republican lead ers a bad attack of tho shivers. The Oregoniuu Railroad Company, who are now running regular trains on thn east side (narrow gauge) road, have issued a list of freight tariffs making rates on grain between Portland and' points on the narrow gauge. The rates' in car loads from Coburg, the southern terminus, to Portland, iB 20 cents per 100 pounds, from Brownsvillo 16 cents,, from Lebanon Junction 13 cents. And now the Mugwumps o? Indian apolis are excited because the new Democratic postmaster is turning out -Republicans and filling their places with Democrats. President Cleveland has been appealed to. t Perhaps the new Democratic postmaster was aston ished when he went into his office and saw none but Republicans on guard. Colonel Fred D. Grant received the following dispatch from Pennsylvania:- I am glad to know that Generals Johnston, Buckmr and Gordon ara going to act as pall beams with Sher man and Sheridan. Your father's prayer for peace to this country has been answered, and the last bitterness of war wiped out forever. Simos Cameron.
