EUGENE CITY GUARD, LkCAMfHUL, Proprietor. EUGENE CITY. OREGON. Dkxtek, Rams and Maud 8. coit Eobcrt Bonner $110,000. Silk culture ii ilowly advancing in America. California is at present in the lead. A Vmbtian oondolikb marries and rears a family on a salary of eighty cents a day. Tub Thames water below London is so foul that it drives people away from the river banks. Tns Japanese language is being boiled down to bring it within the Boinan alphabet. Ik England it used to be the com mon custom to applaud preachers during a sermon. The Tenneshke, the only first-class ship in our navy, cost two nillions and is unfit for sea. Last year there were 65,000 ele phants killed in Africa which yielded 2,000,000 pounds of ivory. Ever since President Garfield's body was placed in the tomb at Cleveland, it has been visited daily by persons who distribute flowers. . The American bison or buffalo is about extinct, and the great trade in robes, which it used to require fleets of steamboats to carry, is now reduced to a few bales annually. An order has been issued from tho Treasury Department requiring one dollar and two-dollar bills to bo sent to Washington from the sub-treasuries, so that they may not be used for gen eral circulation. Most of the private sUwcturcs in Russia are built of wood, and it is esti mated that the bulk of them burn down every seven or eight years. There is said to bo always twenty fires, at least, in different parts of the empire. The Duluth grain elevators will soon have capacity for storing 13,000, 000 bushels. Tho shipping facilities of tho place aro also being greatly in creased. This is done with a view to handling a large portion of the grain raised in Oregon, Washington and Montana. The Combination shaft at Virginia City, Nev.. has reached a porpendieu lar depth of 3,100 feet. There is only one deeper vertical shaft in the world the Odelbent shaft, of the silver-lead mines of l'rzibram, Bohemia, which at Inst accounts, had reached a deptl of 3,280 feet. Heur Emmerio, a German scientist, says that on the approach of thunder storms, bees, otherwise gentle and harmless, become excited and exceed ingly irritable, and will at once attack any one who approaches their hives, He claims that if the bees aro quiet, one neod not fear a storm, no matter what the indications are. Titoi'iu.K of a serious nature is ap prehended between tho Cherokee and about eight thousand freedmen who claim citizenship in the nation. The latter demand their pro rata of f 300,' OCX) rcoently paid tho Cherokees by tho United States Government for land, and Congress will be asked to settle the matter at its next session. A writer iu tho Scientific American says the name "Death Valley" is fear fully suggestive, and that few places in tho world deserve their appella tions so well as doe tho Death Valley of California, located in the south eastern part of Inyo county a region where a man can die of thirst while he has water within his reach', more than ho can drink. The valley itself is forty miles by eight, running nearly north and south, and every portion of this is desert and barren in the extreme, as is in fact tho entire surrounding coun try ; but a narrow central space along the eastern side, about fifteen miles in length, embodies the typical features in their highest intensity. Few per sons who have entered this place have ever returned. One of the additional wonders of Death Valley is that its central region lies away below the level of the sea.- There is perhaps no other spot on the globe which at so great a distance from the ocean reaches such a depression 159 feet. The cli matic violence of this deep trough of Death Valley must be left to con jecture. It is certain that no man could survive there long enough to secure continuous obserrations of any extent. I MUSCLES. Their Development Trim Factor In the Value of Horses. It requires more care and knowledge than most men give of tho one or possess of the other, to draw the line between muscular development, dis tributed in such a way as to give plumpness to the outward form, and fat. which latter is usually relied upon in too great a degree to give comeli ness. Stallions are usually fed up dur ing winter, preparatory, as it is ignor antly claimed, to the drain expected to be put upon them during the coupling season. Much better would it be to exercise them somewhat severely during several months prior to the beginning of service, that the muscular system, the most important part of the horse, when the uses, com plicated and multiple as they are, to which he is put are considered. With a view to developing the muscular sys tem in the stallion, the feed, of course, should be liberally given to maintain the power during the free exercise which alone will bring the vigor necessary to insure a vigorous progeny and develop those parts of the system that are concerned ic locomotion. No matter what may be fancied in the matter of certain pcculiarites of forma tion and style, the horse is, after all, nothing without muscular power, if for draft; and, again, nothing for speed, or for ordinary rood work, unless ade quately muscled. The remarkably deep, let-down and wide-spread muscles of the hind quar ters in the make-up of Little Brown Jug and of Jareyesee, demonstrates tho necessity of having a special for mation where special and great per formances are expected. What would Lexington hare been with only the muscular development common to the average well-bred horso of his height and length of body? The little horse that gave us the Morgans, first got re nown, not through showing wonder ful burst of speed, but through won ful muscular power at draft The for mation that gave that power in draft, became a leading factor in the speed which was jointly inherited with the muscular development. A horso may have superb qualities under the saddlo, made up in part of an up and down motion, growing out of the presence of short and moderately developed mus cles, sufficient for tho saddle gait and for parade, but totally inadequate to move a heavy load or to reach out with strength upon the road or track, making long strides, and making these rapidly, by reason of having pro pelling muscles of large caliber and long liber. The long and heavily de veloped muscles of the horso maybe compared to the large, heavy driving wheel of the locomotive; this, when properly sustained from the steam (toiler, being a prominent factor in mat ters of speed and power. It has long sinco been demonstrated that sio of body in tho horse, under the ordinary rules of measurement, sustains but little relation to his speed, either as a running or a trotting ! orse, while, as stated, size and length in those muscles concerned in a leading degree with propulsion locomotion tell upon every stride tho horse makes, no matter what his gait Thus, with a horso of nino hundred and fifty pounds, having muscles of propulsion equally as largo and long as those of an other horso of eleven hundred pounds, it is not difficult to under stand, all other things being equal, why tho lighter horse would bo likely to outstrip tho heavier. A body heavi ly muscled is less liablo to strains than ono not so fortitied (1), because there is innate power to meet heavy ex actions, even though these are put up-' on tho animul suddenly; (2), because a horso of superior muscular develop ment makes his moves with ease to himself, through having large reserve force. So fortified, ho avoids slipping, by gathering his forces together sud denly, planting his feet with great celeritv upon new and better footing. As an Illustration, we do not expect a bird of passage, able to remain a long time in tho air, showing extraordinary powers of flight, to do this through any tiidden quality; but on the other hand, we look for largo development of wing muscles accompanied, of course, as in the high-bred horse, with lino texture and vigorous powers of endurance, the natural outgrowth of peculiarities of raco and formation necessary to great attainments. Live Stock Journal. How a Chinaman Passes an Exami nation. It seems, by a decree in the Imperial Gazette, of IVkin, that the wily China man is not insensible to the facilities ottered by competitive examinations for cheating. Tho Gazette states that "it frequently happens that the candi date never appears himself at the ex amination, but hires a substitute in his own district, who presents himself for examination under tho assumed namo of tho candidate." Tho decree goes on to say that it is extremely difficult to detect this fraud, and tho only remedy suggested is that the candi dates from each province shall be ex amined simultaneously. Exactly the same fraud has more than once been detected at examinations in England, and it is probable that it has occurred in a vast number of instances in which it has never been detected. The remedy proposed by the Chinese Gov ernment is altogether inadequate, for a Chinese district is so extensive that the probability of one candidate being personally known to any of tho ethers is small indeed. In England the remedy would be simple and easy of application, as impersonation would ba rendered impossible were each can didate on sending up his name obliged to enclose a photograph, veritied by bis schoolmaster or a magistrate of a town to which he belongs. Photo graphy is not yet universal in China, but some security at least would be given were a specimen oi me candi date's handwriting, similarly attested, to be forwarded.

THE ART OF CLOG-DANCING. How It May be Taught to Mm or Women American vs. EiiglUli Itanoer. The clog dance, which seems to have lost its popularity in New York, is still a favorite accomplishment in some part of the country, wbilo in England it is a standard attraction, tho most popular of all tho acts of the variety theatre programmes. The professors of tho art in this country still make a good living through giving instructions in this branch of the saltatory art Tho roller skaters in perfecting them selves in their exercise aro adding tcrp sichorean accomplishments to the r saltatory skill on wheels. A roller" ex pert who can not dance a jig on skates doesn't rank first-class now. To learn the steps he has to take I sons, and here is where the professor ot the clogs comes in with his big chargsi. These pupils are male and female. There is no doubt" said a "profes sor," "that roller-skating is attracting general attention to the education of tho lower extremities. More ladies, high In social circles, and children are learning to dance than ever before. Many of them learn fancy steps, such as jigs, clogs, hornpipes, etc. In teaching a ladv vo dance a clog-dance," the pro fessor continued, "the very first thing is to teach her to roll her feet as it i technically called. Tlris'is (the key of the whole business, and when a dancer can do this successfully tho remainder of the lesson is comparatively easy. Rolling one's foot is merely raising the hip, turning tho foot in and striking tho toe on tho floor. The wholo motion must bo gone through with gracefully and without effort As the right sidn of the boily is generally more flexible than the left simply because it has bono used more freely I generally begin rolling the left foot first, in order lo counteract the usual tendency in favor of the right. "The distinguishing characteristic of the clog-dance is the clear, bell-like tnp of the toe or heel on tho floor. The slightest shuflling ruins the effect, while in jig-dancing shuflling is tho prime merit In the jig tho sand is relied on for what may be called tho music, whilo in the clog the shoes make the melody. Jingles are inserted in a great many clogs, and what do you think they nre mado of?" "Give it up." "In many cases of the old-fashioned copper cent A hole is cut in tho heel of tho clog, and a cent set in so that its broad sido is flush with tho surface of tho heel. . Then it is fastened through tho middle with a screw, and is left to play loosely in tho socket. Other de vices aro of course used to reach the same etl'ect but jingles and rattles have seen their day. There was a time when it was neecssnry to go to England to see tho clog-dancing in its glory. The peo ple over there take much more interest In snch things than wo do. antl the judging between the comparative merits of two dancers is considered a very se rious piece of business. "The judges generally retire into the cellar, we may call it under tho stage, thcro to remain until both dancers have separately gone through with a series of stops. They have no knowledge, of course, as to which dancer makes the first exhibition, and as tho. ringing of the clogs is even more distinct under than above tho floor, tho merits of the dance can be thus readily judged with out a possibility of tho judge seeing the dancers and allowing his decision to be biased by personal prejudice." Hero tho Professor grow emphatic and tapped tho writer on tho chest with his fore-linger, i Hut let tho American dancer go on tho English stage, among the English people in a concert hall, and it is dollars to cents that he will break down before ho has danced ten minutes." "Why?" "Uecauso they nre much more thorough over there than we are. The artist who makes his appearance on a London variety stage must understand his business thoroughly. Supposing he is dancing a hornpipo, tho chances are ten to ono some voice in tho audience will shout: '(Jive us a reel!1 or 'Give us a dead march !' and tho orchestra will immediately desert tho hornpipo and drop into a reel or a dead march with out giving the . dancer a moment's warning. Few of our men can stand that ordeal. They have a repertoire of some half a dozen dances and continue grinding out those dances, with varia tions, to tho end of the chapter.'" X. Y. Star. "On Approval." In Germany, says tho Academy, it is the custom for booksellers to send to their customers parcels of new books "on approval." it being understood that the books not rotnrned are accepted, and will be paid for. Relying upon this custom, a boookseller at Worms con tinued year after year to send books to a person living in the town. None of the books were returned and none were paid for. At last the bookseller sent in his bill, which the other party declined to pay. but offered to return the books. This did not suit the bookseller, for the C" lishers would no longer take the ks back from him. Accordingly he brought his action for the price; but he has been defeated in the Court of First Instance, and also on appeal, on the ground, apparently, that there was no contract. A New Iron-Clad. It is proposed to construct a new iron clad (the fourth) at Xicolaieff, Russia, dostined for the defence of the Black Sea coasts. It is to be of steel and iron, the under portion being cased in wood. The center portion will be armored; for the defense of the engines and macbin erv a portion of the deck will be covered with armor-plates two inches thick. With engines of 8,000 horse-power in dicated, the speed ot this new iron-clad will reach, it is hoped, sixteen knots. The armament is to be 12-inch guns, firing en barbette from a couple of tur rets on the upper deck. The estimated cost is 4.000.000 rubles, or in round numbers 400,000. The machinery, etc, will be furnished by the Baltio factory. A. Y. Post "HOW'S THINGS?" A Senseless Question Which Eiclted the Ira of a California!!.

"Halloo, Mr. Tiffany," said a pert young dude, who was getting' his hair clipped; "how's things?" Citizen Tif fany glared at the too-fresh interlocutor. "How's what?" he growled. "How's things?" chirped the youth, blithely. "You know what I mean; how aro vou? how's things?" "O, mighty vet forbearing heavens, hearken unto this idiot!" cried Mr. Tif fany, dramatically. "How's things? What things? Things! A gentleman can not walk into a barber-shop and sit quietly down to wait for a shave with out being asked by some lunatic 'Uow'a things?' What do you mean by this, anyhow?" and Citizen Tifl'any marched threateningly on the horror stricken and now thoroughly-alarmed dude. "Why, I only you know," stam mered the quivering victim of the citi zen's wrath. "I only well I how's things?" "Now, by the ghost of him whoso re vered name 1 bear," declaimed Mr. Tif fany, "I'll make a haggis of you! Yet hold! How's things?

A SAD MISTAKE. Trouble and Tribulation! In Ihe Mote Schaumberg Family. Young Levi Schwindelmeyer has for some time been paying attentions to Miss Rebecca Schaurabcrg, who is con sidered one of the belles of Austin. On the Jewish New Year's Day SchwindeU raeyer called at the Schaimberg man sion. While he and Rebecca were in the parlor, Mose Schaumberg thought he would stroll out iuto his garden and give tho young folks a chance, for Levi is a very excellent young man, with a great deal of money aud "pishness cabacity." While strolling about tho premises, what should Mose see but a i)oy up in a tree among his fall peaches. Thinking to terrify the boy, Mose roared out: . "O, yon young scoundrel, now I sees you mit mine own eyes. Vere vash mine shot-gun?" A wild female shriek was heard from tho parlor. Tho shutters were torn open, and, with a bound, young Schwindelmeyer emerged from the window, nnd was over a six-foot board fence and out of sight like a flash. Ho has not been seen since, although .Mose has been hunting him high nnd low, to tell him that his remark about tho shot gun was intended for tho boy in the peach tree. Texas Sifting. A Happy-Go-Lucky Yankee Farmer. , We ran across an old New Hampshire farmer last week in ono of our rambles who has lived sixty-five years on tho farm he was born. He "guessed" ho had about five hundred acres of land, a largo share of which is mountain pas ture. A small brick cottage and two barns were on the place, and he wintered last vear twenty-six head of cattle. Ho sefls milk to the Whitings, at present furnishing five cans a day. But he could not say exactly how many cows he has. how many he is milking, or just how much lie is getting for milk. Nor could he say. more than approximately, howniuch land he has, how much hay ho cuts, or how much it costs him to make his milk. He did not believe-he was getting what it cost him the year through, but just at this time, when pasturage is at its height, and he feeds no grain, he thought ho was making something. Ho said ho thought the whole place was worth Sti.OUO. Ho had raised a family of ten boys and girls, all of whom aro still living, and he had twice served in the general court and always voted the Democratic ticket It was a Jfair illus tration of the happv-go-lucky Yankee farmer, who seldom has any system or indulges in any plans, and possesses only such an indefinite idea of his busi ness as would ruin a manufacturer or a merchant Lowell (Mass.) Courier. A New Telegraphic Device. An ingenious Philadelphia", has in vented a device for telegraphing passen gers and goods through the air. The field it purposes to occupy is a compar atively modest one, as it does not seek to rival the locomotive, but is satisfied with the prospect of operating in dis tricts incapable of furnishing traffic ade puate to the support of a railway. Sturdy posts support its two cables, one of which is about eight feet higher than the other, additional cables being sup plied to insure absolute safety. The cars are suspended from the upper and sup ported by the lower cables. Steam en gines and dynamos at each end of the line supply the driving power, and by means of the car-wheel axles and in tervening wires the current is passed through an electrical motor working under or by the side of the car. The earning capacity of the cables varies, inclusive of cars," from several hundred weight up to a ton. and repeated tests have demonstrated that smooth and swift motion can be obtained. .V. Y. rost.
