Forbidden Pleasure. Last Mon day, oliicerShultz discovered u China man smoking opium, contrary to the ordinance, and took him before Re eorcer Nunan to answer. He plead guilty and was fined $5 and costs but his lpgal adviser, a young man who thinks this world a big joke, advised John to go to jail, and lie went for two days and a half. This is the first conviction under tho opium ordinance and if the officer is vigilant he may pcoop in some white smokers and they can get legal advice as cheap as John Chinaman did, but henceforth, the Re corder announces, the far; will be Licad. and water in the city hotel.

After the in htallation ceremonies the members ad journed to the Club Room where an ex cellent collation such as only the Re bekahs can prepare had been spread by the lady members of the lodge, after which daneiug was indulged in until a late hour. The occasion will long be remembered by all those present. "Why It Failfd. A writer in the "Rural Spirit", T. T. Geer, who was a member in the last legislature, charges the failure of a bill, introduced to sup plement the present game law, to the "pig headedness" of Smith of Jackson, who stubbornly refused to have "prai rie chickens" and grouse excluded from the operation of the law. Sir. Geer asserts positively that elk and deer would have been well protected if even the words "prarie chickens" had been stricken out but; that the senseless ob stinacy of the friends of the bill, in re fusing any concession to the farmers, east of the mountains, where prairie chickens are very destructive prevented its passage The writer concludes: "Smith, of Jackson, was an estimable gentleman, and an honest man, but was too prone to construe an honest difference of opinion, to be a spirit of bitter hostility, and. before he had roan aged his bill & week, his enthusiasm had superceded his discretion, and his zeal sat enthroned on the ruins of his judgement".

Shaver, the genial agent for tho Wheeler it Wilson sewing machine company who has been here for some time past has decided to work for the company at Walla Walla instead of at San Francisco as he first intended. The mention of "crim con"' lastweek was a bonanza for scandal mongers who made many random surmises and caused not a little flutterinj among parties who should be above suspicion. "The wicked fleo when no man pur sueth." Capt. Five, Wm. Bybee, Jr. and Thomas NefF had a narrow escape from drowning last week while attempting to land the old boat at Bybee's ferry.

Davis stole the confederate bullion or wheth er ho didn't. The only effect of the controversy, is to drag a personage be fore the public who should have been lost to memory long ago. Dr. Glenn, at Jacinto, has 35,000 acres in wheat, and expects to sow 25, 000 more. He has a force at work on the leveo building from Bounds' to Shcppardf, a distance of five miles.

The discovery of about four inches of a Chinese queue, in a mince pie, was made by a Jacksonville man last week. His first impulse was to hunt the rest of the unfortunate Chinese but his stomach demanded immediate attention ilnd prevented successful search. On Tuesday last a bank caved on some Chinese miners on Evans creek. One of the unfortunate men had a leg broken, an eje put out, his none bro ken and all his front teeth smashed in. Dr. Colvig of Rock Point patched him up as well as he could under the cir cumstances. Ten saloon keepers, one dealer in cigars and notions and three Chinese merchmts were arrested for violating the Sunday law in Walla Walla. It looks singular that the class whose business could best be spared, ono day in the week, are the most persistent in breaking the law. The Slining & Scientific Press, pub lished by Dewey fc Co., San' Francisco, has just entered on its 44th volume and is the only real mining journal in the country.

F. t Co. was on boara armed with two beautiful revolvers and he stepped down and yielded them up gracefully on the first demand. The persuasion of a shot-gun, in the hands of a robber, is irresistible. A late decisfon of acting P. SI. Genl. Hutton, says: it is the duty of, a post master to examine postal cards and to see that they contain no improper mat tcrs. Also "there is nothing in the Postal law prohibiting a "dun" or threat of prosecution being sent in the mail by postal card. The court .and not the Department is the proper sourse of protection against libel". Also: "under no circumstances can a postmaster open a sealed package not addressed to himself." The fact: that all the Presidents of je United States "were" borri in the country must be discouraging to am bitious American mothers living in cities. They should, be o good heart, though, for with proper training, their sous may become billiard sharps or ba.se ballists. There ishope for the city mother still. - We are indebted to Burkhart Bros., real estate agents, Albany, for a state ment of the meteorology of the Will amette valley for 1881.

He is learning something in tho world as he goes along. Tidings. Geo. Ratrie, of Butte creek, com plains that it is difficult to raise hogs or cattle over in his. nsighborhood as soma parties are , busy appropriating them to their owmnsejy. That is tho section where-sa-mtrth-dter slaughter ing is donend-just-asithe Sentinel predicted; when deer get scarce their slayers begin ta steal for a living. Why is there no imitation Wheeler it Wilbon sewing machines? The an swer is simple enough; they have pat ents worth protecting and they do so. Companies have attempted to manu facture an imitation Wheeler k Wilson sewing machine but were compelled to atiandom the scheme although it cost the company thousands of" dollars. ; Why? . The following officers wero installed for Tablo Rock Encampment, I. O. O. F., last Tuesday evening: H. v. Helms, C. P.; S. J. Dav, H. P.; F. Otten, S. W.; J. A. Boyer, Scribe; J. Miller, Tieas.; F.

Jutlg8 Fioyd Rtid Commissioner Kel: ly, of Josephine, can no doubt, answer tho following inquiry satisfactorily: Ed. Sf.KTIXI.L A Taxpayer dcsiius to ask a few questions through your paper in rs'gard to tho C. C. wagon road. I would desire from Judge Floyd and Commissioner Kelly what right they had to receive back the agreement they had with II. Gasquet to build the road spoken cf in a late issue of your paper by a correspondent of Josep!iiue county. Taxpayer. Sirs. B-tsey Cougle died at her home on Williams cieek Dec. 2Sth, after a short illness. Her death was quite unexpected. Mrs. Couglo was born in Canada in 1838, was a child when her mother moved to Illinois whero she was married to Abraham Cougle at the age of nineteen, and with her family moved to Oregon in 1875- Her tu neml took place at her homo on the 29th of December and a largo gather ing of friends followed her remains to her last resting j luce. SI. T. We are under obligations to Ciias. Mosher, formerly editor of the Rose burg "Star," but now located at Phoe nix, Arizona, for a copy of "the Re sources of Arizona." It is a complete description of the agricultural and nun rral wealth of the Territory that is just in tho infancy of development. It contains a graphic description of the discovery of the "Tombstone" district by E. A. Scheiifi'lin, a Jackson county boy, and the wohle work is most in teresting reading thaukryou Charley, Our well known and genial Asst. State Treasurer, A. F. Wheeler was quarantined nearly alLjvinfpr at South Bend, Ind. by small pox. , Gus didn't catch it but 'caught Josie instead Sliss Josie Stall, of that city and is on his way to Oregon with her. The ceremony took place at the residence of the bride's father W. H. Stull on the lllh inst. We tender our warmest congratulations to one of the best men in Oregon and to tho lady who takes him tor better or worse. Tho Washington correspondent of the "Standard" says: "Sir. George has been honored with a place on two com mittees, commerce and a revision of the laws. It is to be hoped that his membership in the former committee will add to the appropriations for river and harbor improvements in Oregon, and no State needs a larger share of that appropriation than Oregon, yet she has in the past year or two had a larger appropriation for those purposes, considering the number of her popula tion, than any other State in the Union. Solwas informed by tbpchairnianof the commerce committee in the Senate." True perhaps, but ought not appropri ations to be measured by actual neces sity instead of by population? Some states need no such appropriations, and it would look foolish to demand them simpiy on account or tneir superior population. Stealing an Ox Team. LastThurs day night, a man named Kehlier, ar rived at Cottonwood in this county, with five yoke- of oxen, all yoked up, together with log chains, which he had taken from the saw mill of Morris & Chandler, about 8 miles this side of Ashland, Ogn. He drove thsm over the mountain outside of the road, and came on the grade this side of the toll house, thus cheating the toll road of its toll, having employed two men to assist him. The constable followed the run away, and came into Yreka to see if he had any right to arrest hira; and if not, intended to have him put. in jail here, and await a requisition on the Governor of the State. Upon boing advised to try and get him back over the line peaceably and then arrest him, he made the effort and succeeded. Tho ox thief was probably not posted, or ho would never have complied with the polite request of the constable. The above is from thn "Yreka Journal," of W.dnvsday, but J. P. Walker, of Ash land informs us that there are two sides to the rase; Kehlier having the cattle in his possession and, at least. a color of title when he removed them. In regardto lhiscasethe"Tidings"says: "Kehlier bought theoxenof D. Dunlap of Big-Buttelast summer, and has been logging for Chandler, and in defense, claims that the oxen wero his own. Chandler claims they were turned over to him in a settlement made between the two men." The defendant had a hparing before Justice Do Peatt, at Ashland and was bound over in' the sum of .?300 to appear before the next grand jury. Real Estate Transactions.

""A gill under fourteen" writing for the "Times", claims that she "fully comprehends what, a century ago, the wisest did not understand." The little gill is right. Children to-day, do know things that their good mothers are quite innocent of and would be ashamed to acknowledge without blush ing. If girls are so far ahead of their parents in thu knowledge of things, learned at tho expense of innocence, so much the worse for them. The wri er desii es a kiss when, perhaps, a spank ing would be more appropriate and asks for some of our "poetry" when her mother's dish cloth would be mere suitable. The communication supple ments a late article in the Sentinel very well; by a pen picture of a miss; whose heels have been educated mor than her head and whose modesty and sense of duty to her mother, are stifled by aprurient desire formale companions before she is in long dresses. Sorghum Sugar. The question of the praticabilitv of ma kingsucar from cane, raised in Jackson county, seems to have solved itself. e were shown this week, a s-ample of exceedingly rich, and lnndsomely crystallized, tugir taken from the bottom of a svrup can by C. C. MsClendon of Sam's Valley, and superior in sweetness to tho best Island, unrefined, lho cane from which the syrup was manufactured was the "M:s?nippi Amber grown on Mr McClendon's farm, the stalks growing to the height of seven to eight feet. If syrup will thus, spontaneously, crvstallize into sugar tho fact indicates that our soil and climate are very fa vorable to sugar production when the cane is treated intelligently and with proper appliances. Numerous petty thefts and bur glaries are reported in this end of Josephine county. Game is getting scarce and it is supposed that the in dustnou? people known as "deer skin ners are forced to skin the settlers. General Xtits A. J.

A ten-year old son of Willis Lewis of Junction, Lane county, was instant ly killed Saturday by the accidental discharge of a gun Tho high license liquor law went in to effect at Omaha on Monday of last week, and thp result was the suspension of 103 out of 140 saloons.

After the Yanderoilt wedding on the 20th instant, the railway magnate gave the bride his present residence on Fifth avenue and a check for 250,000. Several Senators in Washington have already expendad morejhan their salaries in sending disappointed ollice seekers home. It must be nice to bo a Senator. The Senators from North Carolina, Ohio, and Oregon have introduced bills concerning "extortions in changes ana unjust oiscrinnnations in railroad management' and to reform tho same. General bwaim has reviewed tho hr.ditigs m the Whiftaker case and finds that the-colored cadet didn't bite his own ears off. The cadet ho did it will disgiY.cc the service some day. Cmcifio, Jan. 8.

There aro now twpnty immense glucose factories in the United States. Already a capital of over 20,000,000 is invested in the business. The daily consumption of corn for the manufac ture of glucose is about 35.000 bushels. and the annual amount about ll,Q0O,- UUU. All these lactones have sprun" up within the past twelve years.
