Eugene Semple 1 / I rl he Oregonian of the Sth inst. says that on Tuesday afternoon Chief Lap- peus arrested an individual commonly known as St. Clair, whom it is believed is the identical person who set fire to the city on the 2d day of last August. Chief Lappeus, it appears, has been on this man’s track for a long time, but failed to find sufficient evidence of a tangible character to warrant his ar rest, untij Tuesday. He wits arrested in a saloon opposite the Postoffice. Upon being searched, there were found in his clothing two tire-balls, conqioseil of cotton-wicking, carefully rolled up in cotton cloth, and thoroughly soaked in kerosene, a small piece of candle, and a bunch of matches. This man, who has long been known to the po lice, anil who stands charged, upon strong circumstiuicial evidence, with being guilty of a very grave offense, gives his name as A. St. Clair ; but during several years of his criminal history, he has varied his name to suit his convenience. He was sent to the penitentiary from this county a couple of years since, for highway robbery, under the name of Tieton ; has spent a term in the county jail under the alias of Riley, and at other times has given his name as Brooks anil also as Simpson. From St. Clair’s own admissions to other parties, it appears that he set fire to Hurgren A Shindler’s shop on the morning of August 2d, in about the following manner: At that time he was boarding at the Kellogg house. He noticed that a pane of glass was broken out of one of the corner doors, and seeing how easy it would be to fire the building, he purchased some raw cotton, and rolling it up in balls, immersed them in kerosene, and placed them in his pocket to await the proper moment. About 3 o’clock on the morning of the memorable 2d of August, he arose from his bed and walked toward the doomed premises, and after .skulking about until four o’clock, he approached the door with the broken pane, anil encircled the fire-ball with a newspaper, he threw it into the shavings accumulated in the shop, and the fire spread with such rapidity that he had scarcely got out of the light it shed, before the flames darted through the roof. Finding the conflagration was destined to be large, he sneaked around and fired other por tions of the city. He was successful in his effort to burn the block bounded by Yamhill, Taylor, First anil »Second streets ; but at Condon’s stable, in the northern portion of the city, he was not quite so successful, as his fires were discovered in time. Yesterday morning the case was called in the Police Court for examina tion, but the defendant waived and was committed to the county jail in default of $5,000 bonds. HOW EGUN AKE HATCHED I lion. J. W. Nesmith, on December 15, 1873, introduced the following bill, to provide for ascertaining losses sus tained by citizens of Southern Oregon and Northern California by reason of Indian depredations in 1872-3 : lie it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress as sembled : That the President of the United States be, and he is hereby, authorized and empowered to appoint three per sons to act as commissioners to inquire into the extent and character of the depredations committed in Southern Oregon and Northern California, in the years 1872-3 ; by what tribe or bands of Indians committed, and the num ber and names of persons murdered, and the number and names of the survivors of the families of such per sons ; the character and value of the property destroyed, or'carried away, and to whom the same belonged ; and the damage sustained by citizens bv V reason of such depredations. S ec . 2. That it shall l>e the duty of said commissioners, or a majority of them, as soon as practicable, to pro ceed to the scene of said depredations, and take testimony under oath, of such witnesses as may appear before them, of all such depredations ; when, where, and by what tribes, or bands, and upon and against whom commit ted, and as to the value of the property destroyed or taken away, and the damage sustained by each citizen by reason of such depredations ; and shall make up and transmit to the Secreta ry of Interior, as soon as practicable, their report, showing the result of such investigation, to which shall be ap pended the testimony taken by them : Provided, That such commissioners, before proceeding to hear such testi mony, shall give notice of the time and place of their meeting by publica tion thereof, at least ten days previ ous, in the two newspapers published nearest the scene of said depredations: Provided further, That said commis sioners shall, before entering on their duties, each take an oath to faithfully perforin the duties of his office. S ec . 3. That said commissioners shall l>e entitled to, and shall receive, as compensation for their services, {he sum of $10 per day, each, together with their traveling and other necessa ry expenses ; and each of said com missioners is authorized and empow ered to administer oaths. People have an idea that the hen sits on tho eggs for a time, and when iho time comes for hatching the chick bursts forth. There never was a great er mistake. The chick, until liberat ed from the shell by outside aid, is as incapable of motion as if it formed a solid egg, which it nearly does. You might as well enclose a man in an iron boiler, and tell him to get out of the shell without help. The chick grows on the inside of the shell, until at last the excrescence on the beak of the bird presses against tho inside of the shell, and bursts up a very small scale. Of course when it docs this, it at the same time “breaks in that spot” the inside of the egg. This admits the air ; in a short time it breathes and gets strength to cry loudly. The hen then sets to work to liberate it; she brings it forward under the feathers of the crop, and supporting it between the breast-bone and the nest, begins the work of setting it free. She hitches the point of her beak into the hole formed by the raising of the scale by the chick’s beak, and breaks away the egg-skin or shell all around the greatest diameter of the egg. The joint efforts of the hen without and the chick within then liberate tho prisoner, and he struggles into exis tence, and gets dry under the feathers and the natural heat of the hen. All female birds which sit on their eggs to hatch them have the hook in the beak strongly developed. Even the broad-billed duck and goose have those hooks specially developed, and with them liberate their young. In Australia, where everything seems to be by contraries, it is the cock of the bush turkey that hutches the eggs, and not the lien. It would be interest ing to know whether the hook of the beak is better adapted for this ser vice in the male bird than in the fe male. The hook in the beak of the ordinary male of the common fowl is quite different from that of the hen— it is adapted for wounding in fighting, but not for hatching of eggs.
