European Grain Market.
Liverpool, Dec. 1. The leading
grain circular says: The British
grain market here continues very
firm this wesk. A good business
has been done in wheat at an aver
age advance of 1 shilling per quarter
on the spot. There has been an ac
tive trade since Tuesday at an ad
nee of a penny per cental to con
. -At to-day's market the
, i. '..ive demand for vheat was
'i.ir mated than on . Tuesday. A
' Moderate business is reported in
mr. The stock of California be
ing small, it is held for sixpence per
sack advance. There is a steady de
mand for corn. American is sold at
about S pence per quarter over
Tuesday's rates.
Losdox, Dec. 1. Breadstuff's are
firm. Corn $2.75 for new mixed
Western. Wheat 10s l)dHs for
average California wheat. Receipts
of wheat the past three days, 39,000.
Petition for a Branch Cffise.
A petition has been circulated iu
this place askiug Wells, Farro &
Co., to ea ablish a branch ofiije at
Hillsboro. The Company has hith
erto entrusted its express packages
and letters to whomsoever would
deliver them, which is not speaking
very well for the business charactei
of the Company. But now Mr.
Laughlin. the Hillsboro mail car
rier and expressman refuses to de
liver the Company's packages and
letters, and the people will either
have to go to the station after them
or to Cornelius the only office the
Company has in the county. It i
just a little provoking to business
men in this countv that Hillsboro
and Forest Grove bhould be refused
the beneft of an express office
while Cornelius with not half the
population of IJillsLoro aud not one
fourth the Grove should be clothed
with that privilege.
The New Bonanza.
When the news first came about
the new silver mines recently dis
covered at Camp creek at the head
of Crooked Kivcr in Wasco county,
11" miles from th Dalles, Mr. J.
l'ik, assay er of Portland said that
"f.oni all be could learn it was a
great d' posit of chloride of lime
and silver." The ore brought from
different parts of the mines assayed
from three to nine thousand dollar
por ton. Mr. Cole of Portland has
sent some ore to Saa Francisco to
hnve it assayed, the result of which
has not yet been learned. The
whole region s claimed, and as no
work can be done, until Spiing our
people who have the fever will do
well to remain home, unless they
Hiave plenty of silver to sink in that
"mud."
Postoffue Needed.
i
We learn that the citizens of Reed
'ville have circulated a petition for
signers for a post-office at that place
And that it only requires a little tact
:and energy on the part of the citi
zens there to secure the object. We
hope those moviug in the matter
will not let the thing fail, for Reed
ville needs a postoffice. The peo
ple of that district have to get their
mail at Hillsboro, a distance of four
miles. The obliging mail agent,
Mr. Hussey, used to deliver mail at
Beedville and Beaverton but was
ordered by the Superintendent to
quit it.
Ganger Feast.
Last Saturday the members of the Hills
boro Grange met at their hall in the Court
house and after lodge spread a long table
loaded down with the choicest viands that
the human appetite could possibly long for.
The editor was gone but. the printers did
ample justice to the variety of good things
spread before them and went away rejoic
ing. We were told that this was t!e first
.degree, and if it is, we are anxious to take
the rest of them. " And we the foreman and
typos of this office return our sincere thanks
,and wish Hillsboro Grange and its sociable
mn rsTti, long life.

City Bifles to the Front.
Last Monday the Hillsboro town
electou took place. It created more
excitement and a larger vote cast
than at the Presidential election
The question of license or no license
got mixed up with the election and
all day Sunday the advocates and
onponents of t'tat measure discussed
th& question on the streets. W.
Simmons Anti-license and W. B.
Jackson for License were put on
both tickets. The 'following was
the result Of the election, leaving

The Lticei.te party elected only 2
men, Jackson for Trustee and Thom

posed to the incorporation, but was
put on the Anti-License tic! et to
conciliate, if poFsible the opposition.
The whisky question was not sprung
until just before the election, so
that both tickets had License and
anti-License men on them, but the
tickets were changed on the morn
ing of the election somewhat, the
license party hoping to get a major
lity of the Council, but they failed

the text books. The Society num

BT SARAH K. BOLTOX.
Looking back through the centu
ries at the gladiatorial combats,
where tens of thousands gathered to
witness the deadly combat of man,
with man, we are shocked that fash
ion brought kings and emperors to
view the ghastly scene. We wonder
at the bull fights in Spain; that cul
tured men and women, even royalty
itself, can witness such fearful cru
elty to animals and call it sport.
We wonder when the son of the Czar
of ail the RuHsias came to this country
that some of our generals could think
of no more delightful amusement for
him than to take him to the far West
to wound and kill huge buffaloes,
and then leave them to die in agony
aud fester in the sun no useful ob
ject gained, only to see something
cpuiver and die. We wonder when
broad smooth tracks are laid out,
seats elevated for thousands of spec
tators aud horses are led out, driven
generally by driuking, swearing
men; then urged and whipped, and
spurred, till thi-y come in foam
ing at the end of the race, amid the
hurral s of a motley crowd, gamblers,
saloon keepers, elegantly dressed
courtezans and christians.
Some of the horses are perhaps not
injured, save as every horse over
driven is strained and life lessened,
just like a man overworked; but
may be hopelessly ruined.
"Horses love the excitement!" say
the crowd, as they bet and drink.
Probably some of them do. Some
men love the excitement of debauch
and pay dearly for it with the loss
of body and soul.
Who plans and executes the horse
races? Men of the world, not chris
tians. Of course they deiire chris
tians to patronize them; it woul5
hardly be respectable without. A
hotel was started near us recently
'ind because it was in reality a saloon,
the good people refused to go near
it. The fast people did not give if
suffi ;ient character, the institution
failed, aud tho proprietor became
b inkru'it.
All good people ara sorry when
the time of the races come. The
city becomes full of gamblers and
profligates. A young man came to
our citv recentlv with several bun
dred dollars in his pocket, money
which was to board his bister at
school for the year. lie went to the
races, was induced to drink; and was
then robbed by the gamblers. An
other young man and his friend were
there; both drank, ono murdered
the other, was sentenced to be han
ged, and has just had tho sentence
commuted to imprisonment for life.
Satan's emissaries know well how
to utilize fair grounds; and when
people gather to look at the results
of honorable toil, the horse-racers,
too often are liquor dealers, aud
very generally liquor drinkers, have
the nt all ready, to draw saints
and sinners in. Nobody sees auy
good result from horse-racing save
increase of speed, and tho majority
drive too fast already.
The whole thing should be looked
upon as cruelty to animals, and the
uen who support themselves in this
nefarious way should be driven to
honest labor. It does, indeed, seem
strange that Christian men and wom
en should allow themselves to serve
Satan because such servitude is pop
ular. An amusement that harms
animals, that from its very nature
aud surroundings lowers moral tone,
is not a fit place for a professing
Christian, and nullifies his influence
both with the world aud the church.

THE DEC A Y 0 F OltM UZ.
The nearly deserted, barren is
land Ormuz, in the Persian CJulf,
vvas, as late as the seventeenth cen
tury, the neat of wealth aud power.
It was settled at a very early period,
and it is probably the Ogyris of
Strabo and the Organ a of Arriau and
Ptolemy. In tho fourteenth cen
tury it was the capital of a kingdom
. t - .
comprising i cousuieraoie pan or
Arabia and Persia. In the fifteenth
ceutury it had acquired great pros
perity, ami was the entrepot of the
commerce between India and Persia,
and of the trade of Samarcaud nud
Bokhara. At the beginning of the
.sixteenth ceutmy its reputed wealth
aud splendor attracted the cupidity
of the Portuguese, aud in 1507 Albu
querque sailed against it, but found
the city defended by 30,000 meu.
In 1515 he returned with twenty
seven ships, reduced it, and built a
fortress. In 154J the island paid
to Portugal an annual tribute of
100,000 ducats. Its commerce soon
began to decline, the Portuguese al
lowing no ship to navigate those
waters except nuder oppresive con
ditions; but it retained sufficient
importance in the beginning of the
seventeenth century to arouse the
jealousy of Shah Abbas of Persia
who, aided by the ships of the En
lish East India Company, captured
the fortress in April, 1622, although
it was defended by 3 JO guns aud
2,500 men. The city was destroyed
by the shah, who wished to transfer
its trade to his new port, Bunder
Abbas, and great part of its building
material was transported thither.

CHURCH GAMBLING.
As the season for church fairs, festivals,
sociables, Ac, is now near, it is eminently
proper to drop a word of warning against
the itigrant abuse of these things, to com
mon. The following from ths message of Gov
ernor Washburn, of Wisconsin, is pertinent:
"The laws of the State applicable to th
professional gamblers ara doubtless all
sufficient, and only require to be enforced.
But some laws seem to be required to break
np the school where gamblers are mad.
These aro everywhere. Even the church,
unwittingly, no doubt, is sometimes found
doing the work of the devil. Gift concerts,
gift enterprises, and raffles, sometimes in
aid of rtligious or charitable objects but
often far less worthy objects lotteries, prize
packages, &c, are all devices to obtain
money without value received. Nothing is
so demoralizing or intoxicating, particu
larly to the young, as the acquisition of
money or property without labor. If you
can devise some law to break np these
practices and bring them into discredit, you
will deserve the thanks of all good people."
IX LOVE-BLESS THEM.
WHAT HE HATS.
Stars lot rue hear you shout!
Why hang, ye leaves, so still?
This night .lie faltered out
A rosy-lipped "I will."
The blood rushed through my brain-
Slie turned her face to me;
Then kisses ca e like raiu
Upon a pare bed lea.
LiL'ht streamed from pole to pole,
The air became perfume.
And all my barren soul
liurst into preen and bloom.
Oh! hour that bankrupts joy,
$iut perfect Nature's plan
This morn I was a boy.
And now I ant a man.
Stars, let me lieur jou shout!
Oh, lenres, hung not so still!
Wind call your music uot!
Sly love has suid "I will."
WHAT SHE SATS.
My hope has then come true
He loves me, so he said:
How fast my pulses flew
My cheek itburue-', how red!
Some things I seemed to hear.
And Koine I seemed to see;
Was it through eye and ear
He told his heart tome?
So high he seemed to stand.
My hope grew faint and dim, .
Jits love came like a liand
And drew me up to him.
Within me all U liht
How, why. I cannot say;
Fjr me. niht is not niht.
And d.iy is in re than day.
And thai my hope comes true
Oh. hope, how faint and dim!
And bo what can I do
Uut love and live for him?
THE WOKX-OUT FONT OF TYPE.
Iii Kitting by my desk, George;
lWore me on the floor
Thor lies a worn-out font of type.
Full twenty thousand score.
And many months have pssed. Goof ge,
Since they wi re bright and new.
And many are the talen they've told
The false, the strange, and the true.
What tales of horror they have told,
Of tempest and of wreck:
Of n.tinh-r in the midnight hour.
Of war full many a "Hpeck!"
Of sl;ips that lost away at sea
Went clown before the blast,
Of stifled cries of agony
As life's last moments passed.
Of earthquakes and of suicides,
Of failing crops of cotton.
Of bank defaulters, broken banks,
And banking systems rotten.
Of Itoilers bursting, steamboats snagged,
Of riots, duels fought.
Of roblers with their prey escaped.
Of thieves, their booty caught.
Of flood, and fire, and accident.
Those wru-out types have told.
And how the pestilence has swept
The youthful and the old;
Of marriages, of births and deaths.
Of things to please or vex us.
Of one man jumping ov.r board.
Another gone to Texas.
They've told ns how sweet Summer days
Have fiided from our view.
How autumn's chilling winds have swept
The leaf-crowned forest through;
How Wjuter'a snow hath come and gone
Xark reign of storm and strife i
And how the Kiniling Spring bath wrmed
The pale flowers buck to life.
I can't pretend to mention half
My inky friends have told.
Since shining bright and Ix-antiful
They issued from the mold
How unto some they joy have brought,
To others grief and tears;
Vet faithfiill t the record kept
Of fast receding years.
SO ET TO A CLAM.
InglorloTH friend! most confident I am
Thy life is one of very little ease;
Albeit men mock thee with their smiles
And prate of being as 'happy as a clam!'
That though thy shell protects thy fragile
head
From the sharp bailiff of the briny sea.
Thy valves are sure no safety-valves to
thee;
While r.ikes are fres to dssecrate thy bed
And bear thee off as foemen take the
spoil
Far from thy frieul . and family to roam.
Forced, like a Hassian, from thy native
home I
To meet destruction in a foreign broil!
Though thou art tender, yet thy humble

DscUres, oh clam! thy case is shocking
