So it would seem that the greatest chances are taken by the people insured in such companies. Only three Fire Insurance UolnJa'nles doing business in Oregon have deposited the $56,000 required bjr law to be deposited with the State Treasurer for the fafetv of the insured. Of the multitude of Life Insurance Companies which are continually solic iting patronage, only tnree crave paid into the State Treasury the one hun dred dollars per annum which secures them that nriviWt The publio should know under wna authority 6uch business' is 'done, and the Secretary of Slate would be in the line of his duty, it strikes us, to com mence action against such foreinn com' panies as neglect to comply with our laws.

Oregon Statesman, Increase In Industry. ine .Louisiana augar JSova says: "One of the most thrifty, intelligent and observing planters on our bayou recently remarked to us that since the war the old prairie planters had in creased in industry and prosperity over 100 per cent.

A French uuicer, a prisoner 01 war during me beginning of the campaign, was quart ered for some time on parole in a merchant's house in Hamburg, where he was treated with every considera tion by the family.- Desirons of ex- pressing his gratitude to his hosts, he ten with them a sealed envelope, which was not to be opened until alter his departure. When this occured it was duly opened and found to contain a letter to the future Fiench commander of Hamburg, (when it should have been conquered and occupied- by the French), begging him to treat the afore said family with as much consideration as they had treated the writer. The family are under obligations to the young officer. When Mrs. Jones chided her daugh ter for allowing young men to throw kisses at her, Mary Ann derTared that she was quite aware of the impropriety, and never Itad a kiss thrown at her that she did not throw it back. An Omaha paper advises the people "nat to make sui-h fuss about the &hooting of one constable, as there are over forty candidates for the position." m If you ever should have the misfor tune to "let the eat out of thv hxe" never try arid put her back .again : vou win oniy make matters lorty . times- worse. Better be right than conquer in an argument. Better bear the assumption of ignorant men than waste your dearly bought experience oa lool. HUB Wlllllll i theja - Why the Germans Conquered the French. Having seen something of both Ger man and French soldiers Itl- ohr army (and having the recollection of the "seven weeks war" sgalhst Autria in mind), the writer, last summer, ex pressed to a careful student of Euro pean history, his opinion that in the war then commencing, the French would be defeated. The student, an older man, considered the idea absurd, and he cited instances from Jena drJwh to 'prove that no 'army ever stond (or ever could stand) against the French. He was armed with statistics of population and statistics ol wealth to show that as the battle to the strong the German army was march ine down upon its certain doom. In ipite of this we thought we saw an el ement of strength in their ranks that would yet convince our friend that only some wonderful and.nnlooked for "time and chance" could save France from fearful retribution. This element of strength was the tense of duty which possesses the fflitid of an average German, as it does al most no other miud in the world. He may lack artistic taste, gracefulness of ought and manner, and poetic fancy, o trip-hammer is more steadily - 'm, - ; uner ui uuiDg wont. a. frenchman doWSJUi work well and gracefully wheiTk-e feels at all. A GermM?does his well and fthorougly, when ifought to be done, will he, nil he. It does not occur to him that he might put it off or slight It. It is precisely this quality, which characterizes the whole nation as it does the individnal, that has made their army the best in Europe'. It is the quality that promises henceforth to win all the substantial suceesses of lile, whether lor nations or lor individ uals for rulers or for rag-pickers. In Prnssia, it has been a matter of cultivation. In all official life, wheth er in teaching school or in command ing troops, it is the thorough men who secure promotion and reward. The soldier is a-goo'd soldier because he has been brought up to be a faith ful worker, and because he has an am bition .for the respect that his comrades and his townsmen reserve for faithful men only. The officer is a good officer, because hfs training, Irom the tirne he first went to the University; and the example, of those above him and around him1, have bn'rned into his very soul the idea that under all circum stances he is to do his exact duty, and to do it well. He has formed a habit of thoroughness in his childhood, and every position of his life has confirmed It in him. Discipline, which is the sonl of military success, as it is ot civil suc cess, may be considered the. universal mler of the whole people. Itf the nuisery, in the school, in the -work hop, in the army (where every man must serve, be he rich or poor), in the caiop, auu in mo court, every man must do his duty. or he must go to' the wall. Favoritism has less .sway in Prussia than in any 'other.'eeanirvln the world. ThemoitTcffijdtt is to give a ski inn roan an opportunity to work far Ms reward. The'Emperor is a hard worker, Bismark is a hard worker, and Moltke the hardest worker ot all. In one of the attempts of Bazaine to escape from Metz, it became of vital necessity for the German army to gain time, and this could only be done by Sacrificing a regiment of Landwehr (nearly all married men, and of a class not generally sent on foreign service). This regiment stood its ground until it was absolutely annihilated, shot down its tracks. It had become the duty of these to die, and they died like men in the most stolid affd most heroic pursnance of the idea in which they had lived Throughout the whole war the entire afmy simply did its duty. Generals attended to their plans ot campaign; lommanilers looked after their men and kept their troops effici ent; Quartermasters Sad their supplies on hand when and where they were wanted; Commissaries kept the armies well supplied with food; Soldiers did their duty to the death. This is the simple story ot their wonderful suc cess; the sense oj amy never lost its swav, and failure became impossible. In the French army, the very oppo site of all this tended to weaken every movement. 1 he early attack was de layed for want of plans, of organiza tion, of transportation, of food, and ot discipline. The men fought like ti gers, and then ran IiKe. sheen. The idea of duty gave place to the idea of "glory." n.EW lash took the place ot dogged and well governed determ ination. Officers started out on the campaign with wagon loads of finery in which to celebrate their entry into Berlin, and neglected the material supplies without which it was impos sible to recch the Rhine. The Govern ment sent maps of the seacoast country to officers serving in Lorraine. Disburs ing officers had dran supplies for more men than they had in the held, and bad sold for their own benefit more than the surplus:- 1 he whole oigamzation was craiy disorgattijatiba from- the outset, a A X, and demoralization soon added its inev itable weightand brought defeat. The nation bad been trained for "Za Olo- rie." Fid elily lohg-sufll-ring d uty these were all forgotten; and the victory that had been organized in the homes ?f tnS- 9erman people, long years be fore, when these soldiers were but little children, was assured from the outset Enorraotls destruction of life and prop erty attended its course: bnt ihpo .r far outvalued by the lesson the war has taught to the worlds Phe l?ssot,t uaiucijr, mat ine oniy sure road to suc cess, is to be sought in a faithful ad herence to the well-marked path of duty; in absolute thoroughness in all things. It is a lesson that is valuable not only for nations, but for men for all men, a'nd if it were well learned by all, and followed with universal fidelity, even the enormous cost of its teaching would bo insignificant in com parison with it results. Hearth and Home. 9 Such of our readers as were in the habit of traveling the old Boonslick road from St Louis westward, and crossing the Missouri river at St. Charles, twenty-five or thirty years ago; will be' interested in reading the following extract from-theStJCouis Christian Advocate of MayJJlst The magnificent railroad brrdeuT ning the Missotfri River at StfCh'arles, was tested and crossed onnho'-29tb ult. Under that date the followiug telegram from St. Charles appears in the St, Louis Dispatch : The excursion parly, numbering Dearly three hundred; which left St. Louis at half-past nine this morning, has passed successfully over the most magnificent bridge on this continent. The test of the strength of the bridge was. a severe one. It was made with eight locomotives and nineteen cars, crowded with people. All were on the bridge at one time. The total weight is estimated at nine hundred tons, Tb'e citizens ot St. Charles and the S'irrounding country received the par ty, arid are celebrating the event with great enthusiasm. . Iron Bridges- The Missouri will soon be spanned by six great bridges. Of these, two are completed, at Kansas City and St. Charles ; two are approaching comple tion at Leavenworth and Omaha ; two more will soon be commenced at Glas gow and at Atchison ; and it is not improbable that still another will be bmlt at St. Joseph. Over the Missis sippi there are ten ; the Rock Island, Clinton, Dubuque, Burlington, Quincy, and St. Paul bridges being already completed, while at St. Louis, Eeokuk, Hastings, and Winona, bridges are in vrifioa stages of construction. The Ohio river is spanned by five fine bridges, located lespectively at Cincin- nati, Louisville;. ParkesWgJeJlairgrown In this manner, but.their leaves Uand bicMberivme-and '.anoTher will soon be hMshed at Cincinnati. Across the Niagara river there are now two splendid suspension .bridges, while, the third,, the great International Bridge near Buffalo, is pushing forward as rapidly as the combined 'forces of capi tal and energy can make it. Over the Hudson there is already a fine bridge at Albany, and anothei is soon to stretch across from Fort Clinton to Anthony's Nose, opening a most im portant connection between the rail road systems of the Eastern and Mid dle States; while across the East river will soon be swung the great New York and Brooklyn suspension bridge. It is probable that the average cost of hese meritioned has considerably ex ceeded $1,000,000 eacn. The East riv er bridge will probably cost fifteen, and possibly sixteen millions before it is fairly completed; that at St Charles cost about $1,800,000;- the St Louis bridge is estimated at S8,000,000 ; that at Kausas City cost 81,200,000, and! that at Leavenworth about $775,000. A fair average would probably be somewhere about a million and a half for each of the great structures. m "tfasby" an'd the Democrats The best thing for the Democracy to do with "Nasby" is to read his let ters and, have a. good laugh thereat. "Jack Allphun" manifested his wis dom lotig ago by adopting that plan, and also made it pay. Postmaster "Nasby" reports that the New Depart ure uoes not work very well at the Corners, and the conclusion he comes to is after this wise: "To keep our people actin' decently towards thn niggers, we must keep whisky away from 'em. Ef we keep whisky away from the Democracy, the older ones of the party will die, and the younger ones will learn to read, and finally drift into Sunday Skools. and from thence inevitably into the Republican party. The conundrum is a perplexin' one, and I confess my intellect ain't ekai to the 6olvin' ot it. We must hev wat from the nacher of things we can't get. Wat th end in tn"ha T don't know." ' How to Hake Cnttinss Growl i ' ' It has been ascertained that a cut ting will develop roots sooner in moist sand thari in rich soil But the sand cannot maintain its growth for any length of time. To prepare pots for raising cuttings, they should be filled neatly to the brim with rich garden loam dark and porous, not clayey and soggy ; then pour in one inch iff depth, of scouring sand sea sand will do as well a3 the yellow sand. "Wet this thorougly, and place the cutting, from which all but the three or four leaves havo been removed, close to the' side of the pot the contact ot, tho ware against the stem ot the cutting promotes its growth. Press the wet sand firmly around the tiny stem. A great deal of your chance for snecess in raising slips'or Cnttings depends tip on this : Plant as many cuttings as the pot will hold, from six to a dozen, ac cording to the size of your pot; when they are firmly set in the sand, two or three-canibeinserted in the middle of' tho potfrSet-thwivajvn a dark warm place for twenty-four or thirty six hours. Thustcuttings will grow quickly in a hot-bed, because the tem perature is not dry. Their growth de pends a, great deal upon light, heat and moisture. If a bud is close at the base of a cutting, it will strike root more easily and is not apt to decay. The root should shoot from a bud, and! tho lower down it is the surer your success. When the leaves drop, the plant is commencing to grow; if the wither oh the stem, it has begun to decay. By following these directions, no one can fail to grow all kinds of House plants. Roses and all the rarest flowers of the green bouses are propa gated in thib manner. iVI JS Farmer. Here is a recipe for making ginger beer, a very wholesome and refreshing summer "beverage r Put two gallons of grild water fno a pot npoi tho fire; add two ouncefDWajod ginger bruised, and two pounds of white or browif sugar. Let-this'come o a boil; and continue boiling for about half in, hour. Then skim the liquor and pour into ajar or tub, along with one sliced lemon and half an ounce of cream 6 tartar. When nearly cold, put in a teaspoonful of yeast, to cause the whole to work. The beer is now made; aud after it has worked two days, strain it and bottle it for use. Tie down tho corks firmly. o To do up Shirt Bosoms. Take two ounces of .fine white gum arabic pbw der, put it into a pitcher and pour 6r. a pint or more ot water, and then hav ing covered it, let it stand all night. In the morning pour it carefully fr6rtf the dregs into a clean bottle, cork it and keep it for use. A tablespoonful of gum watpr poured in a pint ot starch made in the usual mannner, will give to lawn, either white or printed, a look of newness, when nothing else can re store them after they have been wash ed once. A pretty ornament may bo obtain ed by suspending an acorn by a piece of thread tied around it, within an inch from the surface ot some water con tained in a vase, tumbler or saucer; and allowing it to remain undisturbed for several weeks.

If the little leaves turn yellow, put a grain of ni trate ammonia in the utensil which holds the water and it will renew their luxuriance. Family Peace. It is recorded tfia an emperor of China, once making a progress through his dominions, was, by chance, entertained in a house in which the master, with his wife, chil dren, daughter-in-law, grand-children and servants all lived together in per fect peace" an'd h'armony. The emper or, struck with admiration at the spec tacle, requested the head of the family to inform him what means he used to preserve quiet among such d number and variety o'f persons. The old maif taking out his pencil, wrote these three words : Patience Patience Patience. The rapidity of growth and the pres ent extent and value of the tonnago transported upon the railroads of the United States, is by far the most inter esting and wonderful phenomenon con nected with tbebe works. The ton nage has not only been a creation of these works, but has been wholly cre ated by them since 1851. The total tonnage of all the railroads of the Unit ed States, in that year, did not exceed 5,000,000 tons ; and the total earnings from freight transportation did not ex ceed $20,000,000. In 1870 the tonnago of all our railroads exceeded 100,000, 000 tons, and their earnings from this source equalled 8450,000,000. This vast commerce has been wholly a crea tion of railroads, by the reduction they have afforded in the cost of transpor tation. Tub Commissioner of Agriculture says tea enough for home consumption will be grown in tho Western and' Southern States in a few years. It is expected that the North FacYfio railroad will be completed' in frw6" more years. aa
