Survey ing Boats-
The boats to be used by tfie sur
veying paity to Crater lake will be ou
exhibition this evening at Ball's boat
lnuse, foot of Stark street. The soun-
ding apparatus is fitted into the larger
of the three. It consists of two heavy
ash timbers projecting overjthe stern,
with a pull oer which a line runs
from a windlass -amidships, taking the
vire or Cord, as 'the case Laay be, from
a reel placed iu the bow. On the end
of the journal of the pully is a speed
indicator; showiug the I'cniLer of res
olutions made by the pully, and thus
the depth of the water is determined.
Mr. W. G Steel has named his soun
ding boat "Cleetwoud." No such
word exists in any language and it has
& peculiar and interesting . orgin.
home lire- rga, while on his way to
Sin Fiancisco, Mr. Steel dreamed that
he was in he company of his father,
and that they both saw the heavens.
In the dream ihey wended their way
through the winding streets of aa an
cient city, when Mr. Steel asked:
"Will, do you want to see something
beautiful?" "Yes" was the answer.
Mr. Steel waved his hands abovo his
head and commanded his on to look.
In3tautly the heavens became filled
with golden arrows, which Mr. Steel,
Jr, upon inquiry, learned was "Clent
noittl." And thus it came to pass that
a boat wass provided ,vith this name.
Hon. T, 13 O lineal, for many years

The official teim of the governor is
four years. Governor Moody's term,
therefore, will expire on the second
Monday in next September. But the
returns of the vote for governor are re
quired to be sent, ssaietl to the secre
tary of state, who delivers thtm un
opened to the speaker of the house of
representatives. Tho tpeaker then
opens tho returns and the vote is can
vassed by the house. As the legitla
turori0 the law of 18S2, does not
meet until January. 1887, Governor
elect Pennoyer cannot be qualified
when the term of his predecessor ex
pires. The question arises, can the
lesislature, by changing the' time of
canvassing the vote, extend the term
of the governor beyond the constituti
onal Hmit! If not, who Vill be gover
nor after September 13lh? Or will we
have any governor! The law provides
that the governor shall continue in
office until his successor is qualititd.
But the law did not contemplate, cer
tainly, that any legislature could by
enactment prevent such qualification
so as to extend the guberuational term.
If the lecisla'ura can extend such
term three mouthsj as in this case, by
postponng the canvass, why cannot jt
extend it three or four or any number
of yean! The term is fixed by the con
sututicn. Can the legislature alter it?
The President of the New York
Central says the company have lost
money on every fast 'rain run from

Guarding Tlie,:Itich-
The private aerrice for tns pro'ec

hours each per day, and the beats are

V-tnderbili was iheorigiimtor cf this

the largo number of cranky letters
whiihjifl received. Ho profecsed to

but was apprVliPiisiiR that maniacs

have been laden with all sorts of ap

Jay GoultlV self-protection is more
secret and characteristic. Up does not
trust it to a detctive agency, but hires
his own body guard. For years he

That is additional duty doue by a sep
arate Set of men. These employes of
the mill ionjirM families, whos" names
are poor poople's synonyms for wealth,
are kept informed as to every new
demonstration by a crank, and they
are alert to descry and drive off the

ploits. During tho Western strikes
J.tv. Gould made the trips between his

The firs; marriage in the whi'e
home took place in 1811, when Miss.
Todd, a relative of Piesident Madi

Virginia congressman. The npxt was
tint of Monroe's daughter Martha to
Mr. Gouvernur, of New York, about
nine years later, and in 1826 tho son of
President Adams married his cousin,
Miss. Jack son j there. During the ad
tuii.istration of Jackson one of the
diplomats, a man named Pageot, who
afterwards represented the French
government in this country, was mar
ried in the white house to the daugh
ter of Andrew Jackson's close friend,
Major Lewis of Nashville,, and Jack
son's hieco was married during this
administration to a Mr. Polk, of
Ttinuestee. During Tyler's adniinis
tration his daughter was married to a
Virgiuian named Waller, and duricg
Grant's term his daughter Nellie was
united with Sartoris, anEnglish gen
tleman. Another marriage during the
da, 8 of Grant's administration was
that of Gen. Russell Hastings and
and Miss Eiutlv Piatt.
Missouri has reaped a victory and
won a laurel that will surprise the
world. Senator Cockrell introduced
the correct pronunciation of "oleomar
garine" in the senate to the" confusion
of a great majority of members who
have been calling it "oleamarjirine."
Thero can be no longpr a doubt about
Cockrell'n return next spring. Miss

act of retiring from the national gaze

Tales of a Pig Wind-
Stories of Hip recent "cycione in
Ohio are coming in quite freely, but
they do not approach the mighty
stories of the tornado that swept up
the val.ey of the riaring Oodota'f, in
York county, in the spring of 1842.
After the storm we speak of one farmer
found that his well had Iresn frulltvi
up by the roots and was hanging en
the limbs of a white oak tree four
miles away. A cel'ur belonging to
one of his neighbors was split in two
one half of it being blown throtrgh
a stone quarry and the otber half
turned up' end wise against n haystack
in the adjoining county. A flack of
gee&o were completely snipped 0 their,
feathers by the wind, and u uried ap
ple pie was Mown through the side of
aJ tchool-bouse, ternfjing the lecher
and scholars, besides ruining a large
map of ths grasshopppr'districtof
vanaa3. A lurge barn containing
fifteentoiis" of hay wu lifted iilf its
feet and carried bodily six miles down
the valley, it selt'eddown so tjimrely
that the doors couldnot boi pened
without prying them. Tht wind
blew thejails off six Durham cows,
and a- Berkshire pig weighing 200
pounds wasblown completely through
his skin the l;ido remaining in a standing
position and preserving an expression
of naturlness that deceived many Tis
itors. The boundary lines of several
townships were bent all out of shape,
so lhat they looked like a curled hair
mattress on a hot griddle, and the air
was b'own bo completely out of the
valley that people had to go up onjtlia
hill when they wauled 10 breathe.

Ihe marriage of Miss Folsom lo
President Cleveland recalls the fact
that Amelia Folsom, a cousin of hers
married Brighatn Young several years
ago. Miss Amelia was Brighani'a
sixteenth "wife."
The wife of President Cleveland is 22,
and vpry probable will be a president'
widow from forty to spventy vears,
rirawing a pension of 5,000 per an-s
nuiu, as the woman who married
President Tyler forty three years ago
is still doing, hence Miss Folsom will
probaly be an expense of not Ipsk than
300,000 to the people of the Untied
Stales.
