WM: BYBEE WAIFS. You cannot always tell by tlio way a person dresses wether his pew is paid for. Edison's last invention enables a man to tell which dog will bark, and which bite. It is called the dogro phone. Some of tho Chinese Embassy wear outside garments of white silk so close ly resembling night shirts as to make an old maid dodge around the first cor ner. A Boston Democratic ex-Mayor says of the political prospect, that it's pret ty much as when he buys his whisky, he "hopes for the best, but is prepared for tho worst." At St Ann's Sunday School in Lo well, Mass., in answer to the question, "What is the greatest church festivall" a little orphan of . six years promptly responded, "The strawberry festivall" It is barely possible that Kearney, the California hoodlum, has become lost in the -wilds of Boston. Or per haps he has secured a job a digging cellars, and is giving his mouth a rest. Henry Ward Beccher says there are no reserved seats in heaven." And there arc some so-called preachers in this world for whom there will not be even standing room. Nothing person al, H. W. Whether to treat to oyster stew and enjoy a blissful hour with his dulcinea, or invest the capital in Winter under shirts is the problem now agitating tho brain of the young man with small re sources. "Grandfather's Clock" has been ar ranged as a w altz. A minuet vi ould have been more appropriate, if the dan cers are expected to keep good time. At least, this is hour opinion. Who seconds it? A man at Easton, Tcnn., got too near the north comer of a mule and died. There will perhaps come a time in the dim, far-oir, uncertain future, when people willlcarn less painful methods of suicide. , It is our duty to confer all the hap piness we can on those about us. Wherefore, it is incumbent upon every father to give his boy a three dollar pair of boots, a twenty cent knife, and a fifty cent circus ticket. Rabbi Alder has incurcd the dis pleasure of some Hebrews by celebrat ing a marriage on the Jew ish peniten tial days. Yet the world has long been divided as to whether marriage is prop erly c festive or penitential observ ance. A Nebraska minister preached an hour and three-quarteralastSunday, and by that time the pews were emptied, and as th'e last worshier collared his hat and slid out tho disgusted preacher asked the chair to sing "nothing but leaves." A little 7-year old base ball player, being told of the recent sad accident and instant death of the catcher who nobly fulfilled his duty by returning the ball while drawing his last breath, remarked; "Well I s'p6se he wanted a little more fun before he died." The Sunday school scholar may yet limp on with the problems iu tho cate cism, and yet limp on the answer to the first question; but give him a fair chance at ono session of a circus, and if he can't sing choruses of all the clown's songs and whistle the air of the first part, he is American bred. Among other curosities on exhibition at tho American Department of the Paris Exposition was a spring chicken from an American boarding-house. Tho chicken was taken to the guilotine ono morning, but when the knife fell on its neck the fowl gave a frightened squawk, and after ono or two tremen dous pulls jerked its way back to its coop of Exposition. The knife was sent to the foundry for repairs. a. " A dispatch from San Francisco, Oct 14th says, John Marel, an elderly man who formerly resided at? Port Or ford, was found by officer John Dun cau on Pino street on Saturday "after noon, suffering from delirum, caused by pain from an injury to his left arm. Marel was taken to Central Hospital, where he died yesterday. He had with him checks and notes to tho value of over 3,000. The race is not always to tho swift, as the mule remarked, while passing an express train which had been ditched. Au;oiil fen futile. WhichtheJollowing fromthe Car roll Herald attests: AJyoung fellow travelingvith Camp bell's show playedjfan oldfgame with moderate success in Carrolljast jSatur day. He drove up in a single buggy and drew a crowd by selling greenbacks at a discount ne would sell a dollar for 90 cents, and drove quite a brisk trade. When he had gathered quite a crowd and got out some excitement, ho commenced soiling brass'rings and col lar'buttons at 10 and 25 cents each,and invited people to be liberal with him, and give him as much as they pleased. In everyinstanco he returned the money to the purchaser, and when they had paid him more than the price he made them a present of from 10 cents to one dollar treating tho liberal men the most generously. After he had invested from five to ten dollars in this way he com menced selling sleeve buttons at one dollar a pair, and as much more as any one chose to give. Under the stimulus of frequent cxhortions to be liberal he soon had forty or fifty dollars, several giving him five dollars for sleeve buttons not -worth five cents, ina hope of get ting their money back with a large ad dition. When he could no longer get purchasers he said, as ho had before, "Now this money belongs to me, I can give itback to the purchasers, or Ican give it all to one man; now what shall I do with itJ" A capper in the crowd yelled, "Stick it in your pocket" "The most sensible remark I've heard to-day," said he, and he did pocket it and drove ofT. leaving a crestfallen set of patrons. He must have, cleared thirty or forty dollars by a'game which has been play ed for ten j-ears, and which is so trans parent no one should be taken in by it. 1 The Political Octlook. Chicago, October 28 A Washington special eays; Postmaster-General 'Xey took advantage of his trip to tho Pacific coast to feel the popular pulse, and he says that ho was greatly astonished to find the Republicans so generally in fa vor of nominating General Grant iu 1880. He believes that tho advocates of a strong Government will rally un der Grant, and that if nominated he certainly will be elected. Representa tive Tornborough, of Tennesseo gives encouraging reports about the political cainpaign in his State, and is confident that tho Republicans will gain two Congressmen. A prominent Republi can who had just returned from Massa chusetts, who coversed with Senator Dawes regarding the political campaign in that State, says -tho Senator is far from sanguine that" Butler will be de feated, but believes-that this can only be accomplished by bringing out every Republican vote. He thinks there is great danger that many Republicans will not vote through indifference, and that in consequence of this fact the Re publican tiketls failing. Tun Career of Prize Fighters. The present era seems unfortunate for the professionals of the manly art Of the names famous in tho ring, nearly four-fifths are in the grave or peniten tiary. Monissey, Heenan, O'Baldwin and Sayers aro dead. John McGlade, who fought Sam Collyer, was killed in a California bar-room. Andy Duffy shared tho same fate in Pittsburg Sam, Collyer is in tho penitentiary. Joe Coburn, ditto. Miko McCooIc killed Pat Mauley in St Louis, and is now boating on the Mississippi. Arthur Chambers had his hand so fearfully chewed up in a rough-and-tumble en counter that he can never again shy his castor. Among the more fortunate athletes are Ned Price, now a prominent -New York lawyer; Billy Jdwanl, who is keeping quiet and looking well; Tom Allen, who is traveling in Scotland with a fortune of $30,000, which he earned in America; Jom Mace; who runs a bar-room in Australia, and Tom King, ' who left the ring to enter the church, and is to-day. e, veritable expounder of the gospel. a Sixteen Chinese leperds came into San Francisco court last week as wit nesses and the court adjourned the case at once. Tho party in charge of the lepers stated that tho summons em braced 17 but ono sloughed off and fell to pieces when he took hold of him. Box the sixteen up and send them to Windell Phillips, Boston. A Wisconsin man asseverates that New England farmers can pack a bar rel of apples so as to leave the quanti ty short haif a bushel, and yet, if they get a Western cheese with an old hat in the center, their rago knows no bounds. Oregon' Former bennton. The correspondent of the Sacramento, Cal., Union, at Salem, Oregon, writes as follows of tho ex-Senators of tho State: "Joe Lano leads a pastoral life in the bucolic regions of Umpqua, and is said to carry his 78 years with un abated vigor and newly-aroubed am bition. He did not como from his aerie until the last note of war had dissolved iithej distance, and waited until almost every rebel was rcenfran chised, and a fair sprinkling of them had won a footing in Congress, and then the old man was to be heard toot ing his mountain horn for Tilden. Nesmith lives on a grand'farm of 2,000 acres of magnificent prairie, surrounded by wheat stacks and granaries, flocks and herds, and some horses of re markable pedigree, a very prince among rurals, and within little more than an . hour's drive of tho State capital, ready to take a hand in politics ujion the slightest provocation. Benjamin Hard ing revels in his thousand acres, and for successive years'hidjhiniself away from his fellow-men and watched his teams afield, or kept a memory of the stirring days when Democrat as he was and is he was a war Senator in the times that tried men's souls, and numbered Lincoln among his friends. Lincoln was glad to number -Nesmith and Harding among his friends, and that is no small reason for the want of popularity the two of them enjoy to day at tho hands of their fellow-Democrats. Harding is the only one among all the Senators that are, and ha c been, who live to take part in tho affairs of to-day, who is not an aspirant for an other term as Senator. Ho is a ery genial gentleman, plain and unpretend ing, but social and clear-headed, who is finally tired of the solitude of tho farm, his childrenhaving grown up to" meet a wide field, and his wife having diedsomo'yeare ago; so we have him back again-jnSalem, seated in tho law office dispensing justice to his cliants and taking a hand onco more in he roaring game of life. Col.

He hasflesh andstrength w ell de eloped and is about as pleasant and as genial a man as ever went to the Senate and wants to go again. He'lias no pastoral proclivities, and makes the most of civilization wherever he finds it" A Remedy for Consumption. Med ical men have known for a long time that the best remedies for consumption were plenty of pure air, sunshine and exercise, and also food that contained much carbon. Cod-liver oil has been a favorite remedy, and has done good in prolonging the livesjof consumptives, and putting off the approach of the grim monster. Tho virtues of other remedies are in proportion to the amount of carbon they can infuse into the system to feed the consuming flame that wastes the body. The theory is that the internal fever burns up the carbon in the blo9d faster than the food eaten can replace" it The disease then preys on tho fatty substances of the body, and destroys the lungs, and eventually life. In short, there is not oil enough in the lamp for the wick, and tho latter is burnt and tho light goeS out The Chicago "Tribune" prints an interesting letter from Dr. D'Ungcr, of Minneapolis, Minn., on this subject, in which he make public a prescription which ho declares has produced excel lent effects, to his personal knowledge. This is his prescription: One-half pound finely-cut-up beefsteak (fresh); one drachm pulverized charcoal; four ounc es pulverized sugar; four ounces rye whisk-, one pint of boiling water. Mix all together, let it stand in a cool place over night, and givo from one to two teaspoonfuls liquid and meat be fore each meal. I have used this prep aration very frequently, and have nev er found it act otherwise than benefi cially. Tho dose should be small at first, until the stomach becomes used to it, and then gradually increased. This remedy has, at least, the merit of sim plicity. Any ono can try it. The PostofEco Dcparament has ruled that the husband has. no control over the correspondence of his wife. But this decision will not prevent a man from carrying his wife's letter around in his inside pocket three weeks before mailing it I AjWonun MIIU ew Mines. When a woman has a new pair of shoes sent home she performs altogeth er different from a man. Sho never shoves her toes into them and yanks and hauls until sho is red in the face and all out of breath and then goes stamping around, but pulls them on part way carefully, twitches them off again to take a last look and see if she has got tho right one, pulls them on again, looks at them drcamingly, says they arc just right,-thcn takes another look, btops suddenly to smooth out a wrinkle, twists around and surveys them sideways, exclaims "Mercy, how loose thoy are," looks at them square in front, works her foot so they won't hurt her quite so much, takes them off, looks at tLo heel, the toe, the bottom and tho inside, puts them on again, walks up and down thejroonronco or twice, remarks to her better half that she w on'tThave them at"anyjjrice, tilts down the mirror so that she can see how they look, turns in every possible direction and nearly dislocates her neck trying to see how they look from that way, backs off, steps up again, takes thirty or forty farewell looks, says they make her feet look awful big and will never do in the world, puts them oft and on three or four times more, asks her husband what ho thinks about it, and then pays no attention to what he says, goes through it all again, and fin ally says shj will take them. It is a very simple matteindeed. - . .lilscrlHIns ia. Druninilu-r. The St Louis Journal of Commerce relates tho experiences of a well-known house in New York which had the choice of paying 5,000 for a store on a great thoroughfare, or 500 for one on a quiet cross street, and choso the latter, devoting the 4,500 saved in rent exclusively to advertising. This was its "firstslep tuin enorniflhs fort- uno, and, though it occurred many years ago, it gives point to the Jour nal's comments on tho greater value of advertising compared with drumming. It says: "A Chicago wholesale gro cery house, which a few years ago car ried sixteen drummers at an expense of 40,000 per Milium, and did an al most profitless business, has abandoned tho drummer system, spends one-fourth their cost annually in newspaper -advertising, dividing tho balanco among customers. As a natural result .their trade has increased tenfold, and the net profits to tho house in 1877 were 130,000. This year they will do still bettqr. Their customers aro better pleased, becauso they can buy on or ders from prices current from two tp twenty per cent cheaper than they ev er could under tho drummer system. Competitors don't like it much, but it is nevertheless a success an immense success!" Washington, Oct 17. An order was issusd by tfie secretary of tho treas ury this morning providing for the mode of purchasing silver, bullion here after. The new mode requires bids on Wednesday of each week for tho deliv ery at Philadelphia or San Francisco, to bo delivered as proposed by tho bid. The price of lots under ten thousand ounces will be fixed by a rule depen dent uponMho market value ascertained by public bids. It is found by cxperi ence that London quotations aro not a safe guide. Transactions there are far less in amount than in New York and quotations are frequently influenced by speculative movements and not by genuine sales. an In a circular issued by the Post Office Department it is provided that where through inadvertancc unmailablo matter shall reach the office of destination, it shall be delivered to the party to whom addressed without any additional charge for postage beyond what would be due if the same were mailable matter of the third class; but postmasters arc requested to ascertain from the address es of such packages tho names and ad dresses of the senders and report the same to Third Assistant Postmaster General. Tho responsibility is thus fastened upon the postmaster who re ceives and forwards tho unmailablc matter. Sam Simpson has been engaged by a gentleman in Portland to write a poem of 2000 lines, to bo completed January 1, upon a subject of his own choosing, for tho sum of 500, It is hoped Sam will fill the bill and give tho public something worth of his reputation. The Indian CoinmliMoii. Colonel Frank J. Parker of Idaho Territory was interviewed yesterday at tho Palace Hotel by tho Congressional Committee, Senator Saunders Chair man. Colonel Parker gavo it as his opinion that tho Indians were very badly treated: that they were forced upon tho war-path in consequence of bad faith and the unfulfillment of promises by tho Interior Department and that the only method to cause a complete cessation of hostilities and satisfy tho Indians was to place all tho Indian trides west of tho Rocky Moun tains under the control of honest army officers, with full power not only to feed, punish and protect the Indians, but also to punish the whites, who aro now shooting every red man at sigh,, stealing their ponies and doing every thing to precipitate hostilities in order to appropriate tho fertile lands on tho Umatilla Reservation. Ho said that unless immediate measures were taken to confirm the Indian title to tho lands claimed by Moses and his warlike band, conditionally promised them by General Howard, an outbreak second to nono which has j-et occurred would ensue tho forthcoming Spring. Moses band number 800 warriors, all well armed with the latest improved firearms and ammunition and rich in horses and cattle. Without a Newspaper. Nothi presents a sadder condition of society than the large number of families, both in town and in the country, but moro especially in the latter, tliat subscribe to no paper of any kind. Hundreds and thousands of families nro growing up utterly ignorant of what is transpir ing in tho world around thism igno rant of the might) vents,of the day. But who can tell tho Vastra'mount pi injury that is being inflicted upon the TntajD, thos.-, -who aro toj take our pl:Sr'7n tho'bnsy workLgt distant day- growing up without ay knowledge of tho present, or any study of tho past; this ignorante, too, being ' imbued into them by tho sanction of those who should, and doubtless do know better, did they only think of tho injurious effects of their insano course. Let tho head of every family, think of this, and place in tho liar.ds of those for whom he is responsible tho means of acquiring some knowledge of the moving panorama in which we act our different parts. Coin in the Mail. Tho postoffico department has taken important action with regard to tho transportation of gold antj silver coin through tho mails. Circulars are now being prepared di recting post office officials to receive gold and silver coin as third-class mail matter in packages not to exceed 4 pounds in weight, at tho rate of ono cent postage per ounce, with additional charge of 10 cents for registration. Ono thousand dollars in coin, which weighs 1 pounds, can thus bo register ed from San Francisco to New York for 81 cents. Gold has already been sent as letter-matter, which cost 3.8 1 per pound. The new system of regis tration of third-class matter went into eflect Oct. 1. Tho discharge of Von Schmidt, who killed Merklesomc weeks ago whilo endeavoring to protect a Chinaman from the wanton assault of a gitng of hood lums, ought to prove a salutary warning to the young ruffians who infest the cities, committing all sorts of depreda tions. Von Schmidt did a brave act in driving offtho cowardly dogs from tho unoffending Chinaman, and Merklo from all accounts provoked his owmde- struction. Tho action f tho Court in holding Boyle, a pal of Merkle's iu 2000 bail to answer the charges of per jury and assault to murder, may also servo to warn tho others of the gang of the danger of attempting to swear their hoodlum comrades out of trouble. The Chinese. From a recent action taxing each Chinaman a round sum in Victoria, we conclude that they aro not stuck after rice caters very badly, and aro not circumscribed by Burlin game's treaty. In a recent issue of tho "Standard," we sec 15 "hcad-,of China men booked on an outgoing steamer, which shows tho unfortunate celestials are not appreciated in Victoria. Tho joint congressional commission to consider tho feasibl ty of transfer of the indian bureau to the war depart ment, -will visit the Pacific coast, and probably Oregon, before returning.
