W1IAT THEY MAY OF HON. E. F. LANE.
“Thus far in his career, Mr. Lane
has shown no brilliant qualities, hut
has been marked for his good hard
sense. In these days of degenerate
politicians a little good sense and hon­
esty in high places would he a great
relish. The prospects of Mr. Lane are
certainly good, and we feel confident
of his election.— Daily Albanian, Inde­
pendent.
The Oregonian of the 31st, notwith­
standing its political bias, says : “We
desire to say nothing unpleasant of
Mr. Lane, for in a limited acquain­
tance with him we have found him an
agreeable and courteous gentleman.”
“The young candidate’s lineage fully
justifies the language attributed to
Gov. Grover regarding him, that he is
of ‘renowned Democratic stock.’ Al­
though of the ‘blue blood’ of the Dem­
ocratic part.v, as yet he is without a
record on his own account; which
fact sometimes, to politicians, is con­
sidered an advantage on the score of
availability, as nothing to his personal
disadvantage can he brought into the
canvass. From the lights now before
us, the young candidate goes before
the people under auspices and pres­
tige that seem to foreshadow victory
upon his standard, unless all the other
shades of parties unite on a single can­
didate against him, which they are
not likely to accomplish.. The friends
of Mr. Lane in the Convention, on his
behalf, stated that he authorized them
to say, that if nominated, ‘he would
make a personal canvass of the whole
State’—so that between now and the
election, folks may form some estimate
of his calibre.”— Portland Evening
Journal, Independent.
Mr. Lane is a young gentleman of
good ability. Divided as the Republi­
can part.v is—into Republicans straight
and Independents—it is almost cer­
tain that Mr. Lane will be elected.—
Sunday Welcome, Neutral.
Just as we go to press the news
reached us that the Democratic Con­
vention at Salem nominated Hon. L.
F. Lane for Congress. Mr. Lane is a
young man of promising abilities, rath­
er a pleasant speaker and Democratic
to the core.— Eugene Guard.
29th—Lane of Douglas received a
unanimous vote this morning and was
declared the nominee.
By the above dispatch it will be
seen that our fellow townsman, Hon.
L. F. Lane, has received the nomina­
tion from the Democratic party for
Congressman. We congratulate Mr.
Lane upon his success so far, although
this is a Republican paper. Lafayette
is a personal friend of ours, and we
cannot help shouting, Hurrah for
Lafe I !— Roseburg Plaindealer.
A L esson from C abbages . —Every­
body knows that cabbages will not
grow fast or head out well unless they
are hoed very often. Most have
also learned that this crop does the
best if hoed very early in the morning,
while the dew is on the ground.
Hoeing later in the day, when the
dew has eva;>ornted, will not have the
same effect. The reasons appear to be
these :
The dew being covered with soil, is
retained, and helps keeping the earth
moist. It contains a large amount of
oxygen which it took from the air.
These act to decompose the soil, and
to hasten the growth of the plants. It
also absorbs a large quantity of am­
monia, which is directly taken up by
the plants. Now the same causes
ought to produce the same effects on
other plants, and it has been found by
observing farmers that they do. Mar­
ket gardeners prefer to have their po­
tatoes hoed either when the ground is
wet with dew, or after a slight rain.
Observations made by one of the
best farmers in Wisconsin, extending
through many years, convinced him
that there was great advantage in
plowing land while it is wet with
dew. Especially was this the case
when clover or grass was plowed un­
der. It was found that the grass and
sod rotted much sooner, and that the
succeeding crops were larger and of
better quality.— Chicago Times.
A n old bachelor said, “there’s a
darned sight more jewelry worn now-
a-days than when I was young. But
there’s one piece that I always ad­
mired that I don’t see now.”
“What is that ?” asked a young
lady.
“A thimble,” w’as the reply.
He was regarded with contempt
and scorn by many young ladies in
the room the rest of the evening.

M istake .—Some of
by
our worthy colored brethren of the
Baptist persuasion had a baptism down
at the creek last Sunday, and the cere­
mony attracted a very large crowd of
people. Mrs. Pitman’s colored servant
girl was very anxious to he present,
and, as it was not her Sunday out, she
slipped away from the house while the
dinner was cooking, and went around
in her working clothes. Her Interest
was so intense that she stood close to
the minister, who was in the water,
while the ceremony proceeded. After
six or seven had been dipped, the cler­
gyman, filled with enthusiasm, seised
her and pulled her into the water.
She resisted, but the minister im­
agined that she was merely afraid of
the coldness of the water, so, before
she could explain the situation he
soused her. She came up spluttering,
and exclaimed :
“What you doin’? Lem me go, I
tell you !”
But he exerted his strength and
sent her ker-chuck below the surface
again. She emerged, clawing the air
wildly and shouting?
“G’way from here I Don't you
chuck me under again, you nigger !’*
But the clergyman was inexorable,
and he plunged her under the third
time, and held her there for a minute,
so as to let it soak in and do her good.
Then she came up and struck for the
shore, and standing there, looking like
a draggled mermaid cut in ebony, she
shook her fist at the astonished pastor
and shrieked :
“Oh, I’ll fix you ! I’ll bust the head
often you, you or’nary trash, sousin'
me in dat dare creek and nearly
drownded me, when you knowed well
enough all de time dat I’se a Metho­
dist, and bin crissened by dem dat’s
.ver betters, and knows more about re­
ligion den all de Baptisses dat eber
shouted, you mis’ble black scum !
Oh, I’ll see what de law kin do for
you ! I’ll have yer ’rested dis very
day, or my name’s not Johanna John­
son, you wolly-headed herrin’! You
hear roe ?”
Then Johanna went home to redress,
and the ceremony proceeded. Miss
Johnson is now persuaded that the
Baptists are not any better than pa­
gans.— Cleveland Herald.
A W ord of A dvice .—Be indus­
trious. The world Is already burdened
hy loafers, idlers and non-producera,
all of whom have to be supported by
those who work. Begin early to
teach jour children the value of labor
and industry. Make your calculation
to be busily and usefully employed as
long as you live. The idea of living
the first half of one’s life under double
pressure, and then, after getting a
competence, retiring from all active
life and living upon the interest of the
capital acquired Is the height of folly.
It Is contrary of nature, and must work
disastrously both to body and mind.
Be industrious at some paying branch
of your business, and earn money to
use as well as to keep.
As we look around among the farm­
ers of our acquaintance, we see many
who spend most of their rainy days
and evenings at the village stores or
or post office, discussing the weather,
the crop prospects, the general news
of the village, and sometimes a little
politics.
As a general rule, one had better be
at home attending to the plans or de­
tails of his business, or reading hooka
or papers that would teach more val­
uable lessons than can be learned at
the corner grocery or village post office.

D amage to C rops . —It is most
probable that Oregon is the only State
in the Union this year that will have
an average crop. The rest of the Pa­
cific coast has failed, and now a dis­
patch from Chicago, dated last Mon­
day, says reports from numerous points
in Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri and
Illinois state the frequent and heavy
rains that have visited the northwest
during the past week, have done great
injury to the growing crops and in
some sections whole farms are flooded.
Wheat has suffered greatly, and it is
feared this crop will be almost a fail­
ure in some localities. On low lands
along the rivers, water is standing so
deep as to prohibit harvesting, or cul­
tivation. Crops on high or rolling
ground are in better condition, but the
average will probably be low eve®
there.
