J TO THE DALLES AND BACK ITEMS BY THE WAY A STARTLING ' COMMENTARY. Ikdepexdeot: Last week I took a trip up the Columbia river on a visit to my old Lome at the Dalles in Eastern Oregon. I lef Portland on the 25th ult. at 5 in the morning on one ot the O. S. N. Company's boats, and landed at the Dalles at 3 p. m. Had a pleasant trip- The officers on this line are clever, accommodating men. Every thing is in good style good boats, good "grub," etc. landing at the Dalles I took a run out through town and found that it has slowly improving. Times are rather dull there now. I saw a num ber of the old neighbors, all look ing well and apparently doing well. On the 2Cth (Thrnksgiving.) I at tended religious services at the M. E. Church, conducted by Itev. Mr. Butcher, pastor of the Congregation al i.w.ii ?n fhoi xVIflce. The con- iU buuivu x rrreo-ation. to my infinite surprise, consisted of about 120women and 12 men I suppdse the men thought that the Apostolic number was all that was necessary. I thought to myself, "If the good women of the Dalles were all to dier Thanksgiving would Be poorly represented in this place." But at night this disparity at cnurcn was fully explained. For there was a splendid ball at the Umatilla hotel and I observed that there were about three men to oue woman there. This I think is quite a commentary on the comparative morals oi tne lords of creation. The ball went on all night and was conducted in the best of style. After Thanksgiving I went out in the country and found the " grass starting up nicely, but all kinds of stock look quite thin, and the peo Blfl are not prepared for a very hard winter, notwithstanding they are ex- nectiniri.. There has been a good deal of -rvt.r.Aca im ilifirft this fall. I no- PiLAiib X fc ticed several teams in town from the upper country for freight. During my stay I observed that the men "in dulged" quite freely (that is they make use of lots of the 'critter." Concluded to return home, and got on the Opposition line on the 30th ot 5 a. m. The boat was small but quite comfortable. After steam ing down the Columbia for some time a fellow passenger remarked tnat it was along time getting day. I told him that the reason of it was be cause we were traveling west so fast that daylight had not yet had time to overtake us. But at last the grey streaks of dawn began to pierce the gloom and the shadows crept behind the beetling crags and towering cliffs. A bright breezy morning it was up there where the mountains bend over the River and the sky bridges the heights. We landed at Portland at G p. m., just in time to get the benefit oi an "Oregon Mist." H. B. M. Increasing Duration of Human Life. In London, from 1CC0 to 1G79 the death-rate was 80 in 1,000, while during the last 34 years throughout England the average is but 22.4 per 1,000. For a thousand years after the civilization 6f the Egyptians,the Jews, the Greeks and the Romans faded, there was not a man or wo man inEurope that ever took a bath. Hence arose tho wondrous epidem ics of the middle ages, which cut off one-fourth of the population of Eu rope the spotted plague, the black death, the sweating sickness and the terrible mental epidemics which fol lowed in their train the dancing mania, the mewing mania and the biting mania. Dr. Lyon Playair's Lecture before the Glasgow Social Science Convention. Come Love-Love Come. From the roughneepaie, N. Y. Press. A pensive young man in Wiscon sin, while singing '-Come, love, come," beneath his dukinea's win dow, the other night,had love, mus ic, and everything else knocked out of him by a something in a long white garment that fell out of a chamber window. It proved to be nobody but the girl, who in her anx iety to know who was serenading her, leaned too far over the window sill; hence the result. He says when he sings "Come, love, come," again, he will keep away from under the window, as his system can't stand many such shocks. LIST OF POST-OFFICES. Baker Co.

Printed from new tvpe, and illustrated with Several Thousand Engrav ings and Mais. The work originally pubis lied under the title of The New American Cycxop.:ia was completed in 1hi;:J, since which time the wide circulation which it has attained in all parts of the United States, and the signal developments which have taken place in every branch of science, literature, and art, have induced the editors and publishers to submit it to an exact and thorough revis ion, ami to issue a- new edition entitled The American Cyclopedia. Within the last ten years tho progress of discovery in every department of knowl edge has made a new work of reference an imperative want. The movement of political affairs has kept pace with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful application to the industrial and useful arts and the convenience and re finement of Hciallife. Great wars and con sequent revolutions have occurcd, involv ing national changes of peculiar moment. The civil war of our own country, which was at its height when the last volume of the old work appeared, has happily leen ended, and a new course of commercial and industrial activity has been com menced. Large accessions to our geographical knowledge have leen made by the indefati gable explorersof Africa. The great political revolutions of the last decade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, have brought into public view a multitude of new men, whose names are in every one's mouth, and of whose lives every one is curious to know the particulars. Great battles have been fought and import ant sieges maintained, of which the details are as yet preserved only in the newspa pers or in the transient publications of the day, but whi h ought now to take their place in permanent and authentic hstory. In ircnariniz the iresent edition for the press, it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to the latest possible dates, and to furnish dn accurate account of the most recent , dis- overifL' in science, of every fresh produc tion in lireiature. and of the latest inven tions in the practical arts, as well as to give succinct and original record of the prog ress of political and historical events. The work has been beguu alter long and careful preliminary labor, and with the mo ft ample resources for earn ing on to a successful termination. None of the original stereotvTV Tlies , , - - j A have beeen used, but every page has been printed on new type, forming in fact a new Cyclopedia, with the same plan ana com pass as its predecessor, bnt with a far great er pecuniary expenditure, and with such improvements m its composition as have Wen suusested by longer experience and en larged knowledge. I he illustrations which are introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake of pictorial ef- lect, out to give greater lucidity and force to the explanations in the text. They embrace an urancnes oi science and ot natural histo ry, and depict the most famous and remark able features of scenery, architecture, and art, as well as the various processes of me chanics mid manufactures. Although in tended f o rinstruction rather than embellish ment, no pains have been spared to insure their artistic excellence; the cost of their execution is enormous, and it is believed they will find a welcome reception as an ad mirable feature of the Cycloptedio, and worthy of its high character. This work is sold to Subscribers only, Cayable on delivery of each volume. It will e completed in sixteen largo octavo vol umes, each containing alnint 800 pages, fully illustrated with several thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous colored Lithographic Maps.
