Styles, who figures as a volunteer witness in the Oregon- Grover case, is an interesting character. He rushes forward to tell how much he knows of the alleged bribery by which Senator Grover secured his election. That he is a swift witness no one can doubt after having read his testimony, lie was, by his own account, ubiquitous —here, there, and every where, and al ways in each particular place at the precise moment to eavesdrop and spy upon Grover and his confidential friends, just as they were, each arid all passing remarks upon the institution, and uttering in bated breath and whis pers which honest men never "fitter. Yet he was not in Grover’s confidence, nor in that of Grover’s confidential friends. How it happened then, that he knew exactly when to l>e in ear-shot of Grover and his friends, so as to be able to overhear the faintest whisper that passed the lips of any of them in relation to the election, he does not en gage to reveal. Yet he is singularly open-mouthed on every other matter calculated to make the charges against Grover stick. It is also queer that al though Styles swears he heard all this whispering of bribery, and knew all that he tells as early as last September, it was not until March that he blurted it out, and then he made it known to the Radical U. S. District Attorney of i Oregon, and to the Radical Collector ot the port of Portland, because he was a Democrat, and because Grover as Gover nor attempted to deprive the Radicals of one of the three E e/toial votes of Oregon. But if Grover had Hone any thingof the kind,it was in December— months before March—that he did it. And it is remarkable that, not until March, alter Grover had been admitted to his seat in the Senate, and after Hayes had been installed in the seal which belonged to Tilden, that virtuous and fraud-hating Styles opened at once his mouth and his hand, blabbed his budget of information against Grover, took a little $12 check from Collector Kelly for his story, and had his hotel bill at Salem paid while he stayed there, by his new found Radical friends. Mr. Styles says bis residence is at Antelope Station, Californi i. It is pos sible that he seeks the appointment of postmaster, or is a candidate for some other position at the disposal of the Ad ministration. Mayhap he is only prov ing in Oregon his qualifications, to con vince Sargent, Gorham, Carr, and the “ring,” that he is just the kind of a round, through-thick-and-thin swearer they want, in order that he shall not lack congenial employment in their service—such as spying, eaves-drop- ping, and swearing to anything that is required. He is, we fear, wasting his precious time and lovely qualities in the Webfoot State. They are a cheap set of rogues up there. They sell theii votes for Senator for a paltry $l,0(hL when here the ordinary tariff is, for a* Radical legislator of even the lowest degree, a big pile or a fat office. There fore, Mr. Styles should bound back Io Antelope, and there leap into the good graces ol the “ring,” and exercise for them his particular qualities as sneak, spy, taves-dropper aud promiscuous witness. He might shadow the De Young Brothers and swear to almost anything against them that Sargent, or Page, or Carr, or Gorham, would sug gest in the libel suits now under way. Next, he could be utilized against Pin- ncy. Who shall say he was not con cealed under Pinney’s bed in the hotel at Oakland when that retired partner of the “ring” firm got back, and is not ready to swear to every whispered soliloquy of the returned fugitive, or, to what he was expected to say in his sleep? It is mighty handy to have a fellow like Styles in the house—of one who has an enemy to victimize; but not in the house of an honest man ex cept as an intruder or spy. If it is on testimony such as his the charge of bribery against Senator Grover is to be sustained, then has the people’s money to pay for the Commission to investi gate the case been worse than wasted. It is like offering a reward for low- priced perjury. From the first we predicted that the Grover investiga tion would amount to nothing, and every day now sustains the prediction. It will not establish the accusation against Grover. It will merely dis cover the desperation and shallowness of his accusers.— S. F. Examiner. I FURNITURE WARE-ROOM, ! Cor. Cal. A Oregon Sts., NO. 31 i T hey had a tough subject in the inquiry room this week. Moody wres tled with him, but forgiveness seemed to despair of forgiveness. Finally Moody asked him what heavy sin bur dened his mind, and he confessed to having beat a newspaper publisher out of three years’ subscription. The evangelist informed him that they did not profess to perform miracles, but if he would settle up his dues, with com pound interesi, and pay for three years more in advance, although they could not open the doors of the church to him, perhaps he might he yanked in under the canvass. — Boston Post. In 1855 Gov. Stevens made treaties with the Nez Perees and various other Indian tribes. He refused to recog nize the chief of the Nez Perees, and managed to put Lawyer in his place, the latter being shrewd and pliable. His tribe have greater numbers than any of the rurnerous tribes of that re gion, numbering about 2,800 all told, and about half of them are on the Lap wai and Kamiah reservations—the bal ance are non-treaty Indians. Among the chiefs who reluctantly signed the treaty was old Joseph, father of Capt. Joseph. He was not a Nez Perce, but a Cayuse, and claimed Wallowa valley. The old man quieted down, however, and is now living on the Nez Perees Reservation. Joseph, however, takes up the claim of his father with some followers, and is joined by some of t he Nez Perees who are di-sati-fied with the elevation of Lawyer. Prior to that, however, a dangerous sect of Indian religionists called “Dreamers” wa« originated by’Smohalla. He had been taught the Bible by the missionaries, and he so far profited by their teach ings as to lay fast hold of the text in i Judges vi ami vji, as to Gideon and his band of 300 overthrowing the Midianites. He applied the doctrine to the whites as Midianites and, like the founder of Mahometan faith, his followers had frantic faith in his teach ings. In 1858 Gen. Wright flogged these Dreamers and captured Smohalla and kept him prisoner. zXfter peace, though, Smohalla was turned loose on condition that he would cease his doc trine. He complied till since the civil war closed, when he recommenced. His success has grown into magnitude, and it is not confined to his own tribe. He has gone to the great meeting places and instilled his doctrine into the hearts of the dissatisfied rovers, converting them to the belief that they’ will succ< e 1 as did Gideon His re ligious precepts require them to re main “wild Indians,” not to practice arts of civilization, hold no intercourse with the white man, accept no favor from him, not enter his house, nor deal with him except for fire-arms ami ammunition; must not go on reserva tions, nor into churches or school houses, refuse to be instructed or to listen to books, and to steal from the whites whenever they can. Joseph has accepted this doctrine. He is about thirty years of age, tall, well ormed, dignified and every inch a warrior and leader. lie scorns white men, despises his own race who will live at peace with them. All the ren egades, of the various tribes, the dreamers, the gamblers, the wild young bucks, as well as those disaffect ed for the causes mentioned, have gone to Joseph’s banner. S leight of H eel .—Not far from the Capitol building, on Hillsboro St., a couple of young ladies elegantly cos- Iftmed in visiting paraphernalia emerg ed from a residence and entered the street just ahead of us. Each had a trail as long as a peafowl’s tail trailing in and they must needs be taken up. The older of the two followed the cus tom of the day by reaching down and taking hers up by her hand, but the younger didn’t do it that way. Plant ing her left foot on the ground, she gave a sudden kick with her right heel, and the trail was instantaneously ele vated to its position in the right hand extended to receive it. It was done so quickly that the motion was hardly perceptible—in fact it was the “cutest” trick we ever remember to have seen. —llaleigh Observer. I I A R ival to T om T humb —A rival General to Tom Thumb is now at Cal cutta. He is a Hindoostan Brahmin from Cuttack, is only three feet in height, and declares himself to be 36 years old, while not looking more than eight years of age. The little fellow is well proportioned and handsome, and appears quite satisfied with himself. He is employed at Cuttac c, says the Times of India, “mounted orderly” to a Sahib. The smallest pony in the world is now in the possession of the young Maharajah of Puttiala. Ac cording to the description in a Lahore journal, the tiny animal comes from Nepaul, and though it stands only eight inches high, is the perfect miuia lure of a well bred horse. One day last week a Detroit me chanic was going <lown Michigan ave nue, and became favorably impre sed with a pair of pants hanging in froqt of a cheap clothing store. The price was low, the gpods seemed all right, and he made up his mind to purchase. “I gif you de word of Andrew Shack- son dot dose pants are shust like iron,” said the dealer. “I warrant dem efery dime.” Af er three or four days’ wear tin purchaser found the bottom of th pants crawling toward his knees, I was a bad ease of shrinkage, and h> got mad and went back to the stor» and said : “You swindled me on these pants. See how they have shrunk!” The dealer looked him all over, felt of his bead, pulled on the pants, and finally said : “I shall give you one thousand dol- lars a month if you will travel with me.” “How—what ?” “You are shust growing up at the rate of two inches a day, and I dakes you aroundt the country on exhibition. Dose pants are shust as long as efer, hut you haf grown oudt off dem.” “I don’t believe it !” shouted the man. “I am forty years old, and quit growing long ago.” ‘‘I gif you de word of Andrew Shack- son dat you vas growing.” “I don’t care whose word you give ! I say these pants have shrunk nearly a foot.” “Has de top of dose pants shrunk dawn any ?” softly asked the dealer. , “Why, no.” “Shouldn’t de vaistbands shrink down shust as queek as dose bottom- should shrink up ? If it’s in de cloth, one part should shrink like de odder, eh ? When I sold you dot elegant pair of pants for tree dollar I don’t sup pose you vas growing so faster I shall tiaf put zum straps on de bottoms.” “Well, I don’t lik»* this way of doing business,” said the purchaser. “Shust like me. If I sells such ele gant pints as doze to a man, and he grows out of dem, it damages my trade. You haf damaged me five hoonerd dollar, but J haf low rent, pays cash for mein g »ot-, and can make you dis fitly-cent tie tor five cents.” The man walked out to the curb- -tone, and, turning round, shook hia fist and said : “You are a liar and a cheat, and I’ll dare you out here ! “Such dings sink deep into mein heart,” sighed the dealer, as he took down his pipe. “I dinks I sells oui dis pecsiiess and peddles some vases arougtlt.

C. Brown’s on Salmon river below Slate creek, besides several small cabins have been burned to the ground; Captain Baker’s and Jack Manuel’s buildings on White Bird; Croasdaile & Baring’s, Chapman’s, Cearley’s, Houser’s, White’s, Davis’, McDermott’s, John Swartz’ and Hon. 8. 8. Fenn’s (Dele gate to Congress), on Camas Prairie, and some say all north of and east of Swartz’ farm have been burned also; the bridge and Jerome’s, Wall’s, Sil- verwood’s and Detuster’s buildings on the north side of Clearwater, and one building at the Karnin sub-agency has al-o been burned. This gives twenty- three dwellings and three stores and trading houses. It is estimated, by those who claim to know that at the time Elfres was killed he had about his premises nearly $5,000 in gold dust and bars, which is supposed to have been taken. Altogether $200,060 would not cover the property loss al ready suffered at the hands of the Indians. « " ■ -T- T he R eturn of the S lipper — We hail with pleasure the advent of the ladies’ slipper. It has long been in retirement. It adds a new attraction (o the street. The French bottine may now take a rest. Nearly a generation has passed whose only street view of the feminine ankle has been through leather. At last the stocking of our grandmother is revealed. The clean, white hose is a power in the land. Its influence is sudden, mysterious, subtle and magnetic. It concentrates all eyes into a focus on itself. It amuses and interests the lounger. It aff rds to the hurried man of business a momentary respite. It redoubles the liabilities of the careless to be run over. It is not without a charm for the aged breast. No portion of a lady’s apparel is more effective. The showy article, if at all systeo a' ic, half compensates for a plain face. It is a makeweight in the dow er of feminine beauty of which women for long years have been robtied. For the boot is expensive. A little worn, and it becomes misshapen and ugly. We welcome the slipper. Long may it reign. The simpler the style the better. W eaning C olts .—A Vermont fanner says he weaned a last spring colt in the following manner : I fed grain or meal to the mare when the C »It was with hpr. The colt soon learn ed to eat meal with the dam. After he has been taught to eat with the mare he will eat as readily when he is removed from her. I pot my colt in a stable where he could have plenty of exercise in a large yard; fed him with hay and bran mixed with milk, which I soon taught him to drink without the bran. I weaned him from the mare when he was three months old; he seemed contented, and I think «lid as well as though he had run with the mare two mouths longer. It is much belter for the mare, ami more conve nient il one wants to use her, as most people do in the country, while the volt is with her. This way of weaning colts is very convenient, and one can feed milk at such times as seein judicious, substituting grain or shorts for milk at any reasonable time. P hiladelphia , July 8.—The Bul letin says the dust which has been al lowed to accumulate upon the roof of the Philadelphia mint during the past 25 years was collected recently by or der of Gov. Pollock for the purpose of ascertaining what propoit n of the metal it contained. The root is of as phalt, and, as it softens, the dust slicks io it tenaciou-ly. Some amount of dif ficulty was consequently experienced in removing it. Finally a quantity amounting to 1,732 pounds in weight w is removed. This has been submitt ed to the usual assaying process. The result shows that 42 ounces of standard gold, and 76 our ces of standard silver, with a total valuation of about $850, has been conveyed by the upward flight of the smoke chimney to a place where it became located for a season.
