THE ASHLAND IRON WCRKS, ASHLAND, OREGON, The annexed is from the Los Angeles JBpress: We published lately a correspon dence, dipped from the New York which gave a theory for the derivation of the California word “hoodlum,’ as signing it to reversion of the word muldoon and a misprint. The expla nation seemed to us at the time rather far-fetched, but we published it in lieu of anything better, as it was the only account of the origin of the word which we bad ever seen. That publication was not entirely in vain, however, a® it has brought to light what we believe to be the facts of the case. We now publish the biography of the word as a contribution to the correct history of the State. In June, 1868, a hand of street Aral»®, who infested the water front of San Francisco, were found to have a complete organization formed for thiev ing purposes. There were twenty or thirty boys in the gang and their ages ranged from fourteen toninteen year®. They had established runways under the wharv.es like so many water-rats, and one of their principal methods of plunder was not far different from the rodent. Finding a crack between the planks of the wharf, above which a lot of grain-sacks was piled for shipment, they would puncture the sacks, one by one, ami catch the grain in their own receptacle held beneath. This booty they would sell to the disreputable dealers along Pacific and Front streets, thus realizing a considerable revenue. The gang secured as a place of ren dezvous an old deserted house which hail its doors locked and shutters barred time out of mind. This house stood on a part of a wharf or trestle work which graced (he water front, and the voung freebooters effected an entrance to it from beneath, finding there a place of safe and ready shelter. There was a regularly elected captain of the gang, and he established a set of signals for the control of his associates. The words of warning when any danger threatened were “huddle’em; hud dle’em!” That meant that the gam ins should seek their rendezvous and lie down. As we stated, the police department unearthed the secret organization in 1S68. Quite a sensation was created when the details were made known to the public. The man who tells the story to us now holds a responsible official position in this county; at that time he was a reporter on the San Francisco Tinies (a paper since merged into the /lffa), and he wrote the first account ot the dis covery ami capture of the gang, head ing the article with their rather pecu liarsignal, “Huddle’em.” By that ti.- tle the gamins of the city front were thenceforward designated, and by some commonly allowed rule of pho netics, the term was contracted to the resent word “huddlum.” So history.

Muncy, of Cayonville, Douglas county, is at pres ent in this city for the purpose of in teresting capital to aid in the develop ment of the sevral rilh ledges of the Tellurium Quartz Mining Company. These mines are only about two and a half miles from Canyonville and are said to be of great extent and richness. There are six well defined lodes, speci mens of which have been assyed and found to yield largely of gold, silver and copper. Several shafts have been sunk, oneto the depth of fifty feet. At present a force of twelve men are en gaged day and night in working these mines, and already 100 tons of the rock have been got out. The furnace has been completed and will soon be in working order.— Oregonian. Tin; NO 44. P TWEED. A C areless M an .—Yesterday morn ing a careless man out on South Hill threw a mug of hot shaving water out of a second-story window. Instantly the pale air was streaked with shrieks, and, looking out, he saw that he had emptied the treacherous element on the head of his wife, who was dig ging in the geranium bed with a piue stick. He leaned out of the window to laugh in hollow accents, when the sash fell with frightful velocity, shut ting off his wind. His wife, dismayed at her unexpected shower bath, and appalled at her husband’s situation, turned to run into the house and re lease him, and in her haste ran against the baby’s cab, upsetting it and hurling the baby upon a cactus plant. The domestic up-stair®, hearing the shrieks in the front yard, and doubting not that the baby had been devoured by a tramp, sprang down stairs to the res cue with such alacrity that she only touched two steps, the first and the last one—touching the first with her feet and the last one with her head. A neighbor, running to the general rescue, stepped on a broken plank in the side-walk and fell the distance of a hundred and one feet, spraining his ankle so badly that he won’t walk for three weeks. By this time the man, with a violent effort, which scalped the entire back portion of his head, got out of the window, having previously dropped his razor, which fell on the edge of a flower pot and nicked itself worse than a coach horse, and comparative order was soon re stored. But ttie man says he will nev er again tempt the anger of the im mortal gods by shaving himself. N ew Y ork , Oct. 13.—Tweed in his daily revelations still fails to produce any available evidence in corrobora tion of his utterly unsupported charg es against Senator Woodin aud some others of hitherto good repute at whom he has thrown mud. The care with which he had preserved endorsed checks and other corroborative evi dence in cases of men believed to be dishonest long before Tweed exposed Í them, implies certainly that if he was telling the truth in his assaults upon better men, he could bring something more against them than the declara tion of a convicted felon. So far he has offered nothing which would lay foundation of prosecution of anybody. It begins to be evident that Attorney- General Fairchild was entirely right in refusing to accept his useless confession as the price of his liberty. Peter B. Sweeney since settling with the city is said to be quietly maturing plans looking to the ultimate recapture of Tammany, of which in olden times he was the ablest manipulator. He is still very rich. Dick Connolly, also of the Tweed ring, is still away in Switzerland living in luxury, but threatened with softening of the brain and anxious to return home. His son in-law, Hutchings, is still try ing to negotiate a compromise with the city that shall make his return safe. Oakey Hall is in London yet, veiled in mystery and fog. Wood ward is daily consulting with the,city’s counsel, classifying certain checks which he has saved showing the ring’s dividends, and which are intended to be used as evidence to recover mon eys from parties who have hitherto es caped prosecution. Most of the re mainder of sharers in the plunder are in reduced circumstances, some of them very poor. Barnard, the ring judge, having been debarred and en gaged in no business here, is complete ly broken down, shunned by former associates and addicted to drink. Judge Cardoza, who resigned to es cape impeachment, has resumed prac tice but seldom appears in court. Key ser, ring plumber, receutly passed through bankruptcy. I A ctivity not A lways E nergy .— There are some men whose failure to succeed in life is a problem to others, as well as to themselves. They are in dustrious, prudentand economical; yet, after a long life of striving, old age finds them still poor. They complain of ill luck. They say fate is always against them. But the fact is that they miscarry because they have mistaken mere activity for energy. Confounding two things essentially different, they have supposed that, if they were al ways bu-y, they would be certain to be advancing their misfortunes. They * forgotten that misdirected labor is iut a waste of activity. The person who would succeed is like a marksman firing at a target, if his shots miss the mark they are a waste of powder, bo in the gr°at game of life, what a man does must be made to count, or it might almost as well have beeu left undone. Everybody knows some one in his circle of friends, who, though al ways active, has this want of energy. The distemper, if we may call it such, exhibits itself in various ways. In -ome cases the man has merely an ex ecutive capacity when tie should have a directive one; in other language, he makes a capital clerk for himself, when he ought to do the thinking of the bus iness. In other cases what is done is not done either at the right time or in the i right way. Energy, correctly un- ders ■tood, is activity porportioned to the ( und. F ond of K isses .—General W. T. Sherman displays unusual gallantry among the ladies, his rank and station conferring upon him certain delicious privileges, among them the prerogative of lip service, which he never refuses to avail himsel of. We have all heard how he stepped from the cars at Albany and spent about fifteen minutes very pleasantly kissingdirectly in the mouth all pretty Linn county girls within hi® reach, ami how comes the San Fran cisco Chronicle with the following amorous incident of the General’s visit to the California theater in that city: ••As the party entered the theater the orchestra played ‘Marching Through Georgia,’ the entile audience rising and remaining on their feet while Mayor Bryant introduced the general. Three rousing cheers were given, to which the general bowed his acknowl edgments. After witnessing one act of the play of ‘Our Boarding House,’ the party, by invitation of Manager Hill, went behind the scenes, where the general showed his appreciation of Cali fornia products by saluting Alice Har rison with a kiss. After partaking of wine and cigars in the green room, the party next called at the rooms of the Pacific Club, where more wine and toasts were indulged in.” The naugh ty, naughty old general. I S tay on the F arm .—The Hural Nem Yorker talks to the farmer ami farmers’ hoys as follows: If dis- contented farmers, farmer»’ wives, sons and daughters, who think the de lights of the city life something worth realizing could walk through our streets to-day and read one-thousandth part of the misery and apprehensions that haunt hearts of ail classes and are making lines of their faces, they could thank God for the peace and seclusion and abundance gath« red in the gar dens of their homes Thousands of men and women are at the beginning of Winter suddenly thrown out of em ployment! Few, comparatively, of these have aught laid up in store. Young women flock through the streets with restless, eager, anxious I eyes, with lips quivering with bar lest they fail to obtain employment that shall give them food and shelter. Boys and girls of the country! be grateful for plenty and shelter: You will, perhaps, never know how to val ue it until you want and cannot get either. How many of these in the city are country-born; and how many would gladly go back to the home steads of refuge; and yet may not have the means to get there? Farmers, thank God for the harvests, and that you have unsold food for your fami lies! You have reason. A ngora G oats .—It is estimated by an exchange that by the recent famine in Madrid the number of Angora goats that perished or were slaughtered for food is not far from half a million, and that the people are so disheartened, over famine, pestilence and flood, that the number will still farther decrease and the mohair product be greatly re duced. This is a sad state of affairs for that country and a heavy blow on the factories a, nd laborers of England, but it is another evidence that this indus try must continue to grow’ and expand in this country. The coast of this State is well stocked with fine-bred and high-grade Angoras, and the mo hair w hich has been shipped to Eas tern factories has brought from 75 cents to $1 a pound, according to quality, with the hearty assurance from the manufacturers that every pound that can be produced will find ready mar ket. There is room here in the moun tains and hill-, without encroaching upon agricultural lands at all, for 10,- 000,0i)0 Angora®, and as they are a hardy animal, the drouths will not cause them any inconvenience so long as thero are any leaves on the trees or sagebrush on the hills. T omato C atsup .—For 4 or 5 quarts of catsup boil 1 peck of ripo tomatoes 15 minutes without removing the skin, and strain through a sieve; put into a little hag 1 teaspoonful of whole cloves, 1 tablespoonful of ground cinnamon, allspice and black pepper, and put these with 1 pint of good vinegar into the strained tomatoes, and boil the whole carefully from 3 to 5 hours; when suf ficiently boiled and cond<*n-ed stir 1 ta blespoon of ground mustard and 1 tea spoonful of ground cayenne pepper, salt to taste, and keep in well corked bot tles. This catsup will keep for years. Physicians of Richmond, Ind., most of whom have seen Senator Morton, do not think there is the least chance that lie will ever get well. They say he may lie several months yet, but have no hope whatever that he will ever be able to walk ont of the house a well man.
