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."

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.

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.

"Got any cow bells!"
"Yes, step this way."
"Thoso are too small. Haven't you
any lorger!''
"No, sir, the largest ones ere all
sold."
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

A snake of a very rare kind is no '
nt the Smithsonian Institute. 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
