WRITES ON OBEQOX rOK TUB CHICAGO '.TIMES." t EcoeSK CiTrOr., Aug. 30 Sjc ial. 1 write you' from the heart of the one green state of ibis great union. This is the Emerald land.

Contrast thia perpetual green with the dull, old-gold yellow ot California and you Bud both very beautiful.

AnJ this Euiarald land Wat then, when Bryant wrote of it, the remote land tha ultima thula as it still is to soma extent. This is the most re mote part of our contitirut. Oregon nay feel a hit hurt when we say this. But still it is lhe truth. This is tlv only geographical or nu political divis ion of our union which has no real railroad termiuous. True, e have a road piercing the center and so passing on over the great mountains that di vide uajroui California the last links in the great steel belt of the state.", of which I have spoken bpfgre. But Oregon has no direct railioad leading o any place at all, like all our other Ma teg and terriuriis. And that is uhv Oregon is especially a good and DESIRABLE PLACE FOR SETTLERS. This young and Mroug and liel hy Male liai been trampled over like oth er ntutes that are so etsily reached The result is 'land has not advanced so fir in price as in othr placea. Rich and arable lands ready for the plow are cheaper here to day than in anv other place in the union, except, perhaps, oil the rich levels of caueand cotton lioitonirioftouisana. All the mountains here, unlike in California, Aiizona, and New Mex ico, are lieaily timbered, at-d all the talletK no; littlu emerald patches of prairie. No land, save urn) lie in 'he o'lder purl of Illinois, was o entirely prepared tor the plow by nature as this Oregon was lrom the. Oregon is SPLIT INT i BY TnE SIERRAS. And she is entirely different in cli mate and general characteristics, as )Oit can well say. Iu fact for a whole generation the great Willamette (p ro llout. ced Wil laui ii) was to all intents Mid purpose the tuiira state of Ore gon. But to the east of this noble valley and gleaming river lies the Ore con Siarras. And to tht east of the long and lofty reach of the Oregon siurrus, with its tplendid snow peaks all iu a row, reaches a vast and fertile country. Thia Eastern Oreguii is not green at all. It is not timbered, as a u!h. It is high, treelrss aud wind) worid, set ap,trt by itself, and until eceiitly was tliu onlv home of the cowboys with iiiuumoiuble herds. But of late it has been found to be as fertile as any land iu Oregon. And now these vast barren plains, fenced in by the sand and sage brush to the east and the Oregon aiarras on the west, are being converted into boundless Seids oE wheat, like the one arid plains of California. Of course you'. fancy that all this land is, and ha alWavs been, a quite pastoral land, celebrating peace aud plenty iu its broad xorn fields and un der its dark and woiiderous fir trees. My friend, Oregon was from the first the most WARLIKE AND BELLIGERENT Part of thia coutuirnt. She comes honestly by her regnrd for Sheridan's old military quarters. The Indian wars of California were as nothing com pired to the wars of Oregon, even the first. The Orsgnn Indiins were, with a few exception, the most ter rible men in battle to be found amongst all the tribsi. They were of a much braver and nobler stock than those of California, and died as a rule in the field of battle. Have I not told you before ho -this Oregon, when neglected by the United States, met nnder the trees, formed a government, made laws, del dared war, coined her own monry out of her own gold, main tained her army in the field and paid her own men out of her own money coined by her own blacksmith, out of gold dug from her owa toil! Well, bear it in mind, and do not for get it all. for it is all important and all trus. These gold coins had a sheaf of-wheat on onejsida and a beaver on the other.Jthui showing the fertility , of the scil and the industy of the peo pie. The coins had no al'oy of either steel or copper, like the legal coins of the federal government, and so were worth more than the legal coins, and have been mostly melted up, but still a fbw may be found. Of course, Ore--co-lraBwharmlpr"tbe"conalltunoh no' stats could coiu"nioney. But Ore gon was not a slate. She was not evenvery stoutly claimed byUhe Uni ted states as a territory. But her loyalty, as much as anything else, in raeetiug under the trees aud declaring herself a part of the United States, saved to the American people. And so, with su.h a history behind her, you must not blame her for her look ing with a bit of vani y on the old home of Phil Sheridan, for Oregon was born on a battle field. But my present letter is from this spot, Eugene City, where my father settlsd down nearly forty yearn ago, and where I have done more hard work with the band pens these lines than any other man I know of worked like a man while still a lad' Take your map and trace stright west to the sea from this town. It is a Khort ride from Eugene City to the Pacific ocean. But all these years the route, and the sea bank aswell, has re mained in unknown land. The rea son is the high black mountains that lift hp and hang almost over the seu are entirely inuccessible. No horse, much less a vehicle, can cross the dense ly timbered and sombre sea wall. Yet one little stream has made its way io the sea hre through a tangled and inpenetrable mass of vine, inapl. g apevines, myrtle, cedar, aud indeed, ull sorts of jungle, in which the sport ive bear likes to make entirely his own habitation. Naturally Kie would think that the fisherman oi the few nd teamen driftiug up and down the ocean would have found this Oregon seaport era this; und uiiybe they -have a.ter a fashion. But no one seemed to tike any interest in it bhfore, and I never heard of it till now, although I was raised right here almost in the sound of the breakers thai roll in aud awaken the huh of the deusely wood ed shore. I regret that I have not yet been able to vi.it this new and eutirely unknown seaport of Oregon. The climate of Oregon can have my hearty endursement; and not entirely because I spent so many industrious )-ars here, but partly because this state stands second on the mortality list of all states or places on the face of the earth. And I assert as an ir.dis putible fact that were it not for the low an vicious life which has been imported and planted along the line of the fisheries and ports and the inoutb of the great river and other like places, the hialth of this state would stand ttio first iu the worlJ and lead the liat iu tho low rate of mortality. And thii-, I think, is savin; about all that need be said about the climate of Oregon the land of eternal verdure and roaring rivers. Yes, it does rain here, aud the sportive Californians long ago CALLED US "'WEBFCOT," And .insisted that it was a natural necessity that we should all in time be webfooted in order to get about. And every now and than souu new and as piring Mirk Twain will rise up and set a paragraph afloat to the effect that some forty or less babies have been born this season with webbed-feet in Oregon. But so long as we stand at the head, or even next to lhe head of the list for solid good health, all these sorry little peasantries are quite harmless. I tell you frankly you will have to go far, all the way to Green land in fact, to find such rosy Lures as you find here in dear, delicious, emer ald Oregon. Not long ago I was shown the "Grant house," at an old fort it) Cali fornia; but here in Oregon you are shown the "Sheridan house," with much just pride, for here it was that Gen. Sheridan first won his Bpun in war after leaving West Point. And if I remember rightly, I saw him still here after the great civil war was well under way. But he disappeared, like a strong and confident swimmer plung ing into the troubled waves, only to reappear lusty and full of life and ac tion on tha othtr shore. And from that date forward, as all know, he has been a conspicuous figure in hlstcrv. But hia old quarters here in Oregon are held in great reverence. Bill Nye. ANSWER TO CORRESPONDENTS.

If your stomach wouid not revolt at plain fare, such as poor people use, come up and stop at our house a while. We don't live very high, but we aim to eke out an exist ence, as it were. Come and abide with us, S. Q. G. Here is where the Prince of Wales comes when he gets wery of being apparant to the throne. Here is where Al cotnes when he has stood a long tiuie, first on one leg and then the o' her, waiting for his mother to evacuate laid throne.

It's a good place to come, S. Q. G. Quiet but not restful; full of balm for the wounded spirit and close up to na ture's great North American heart. That's the idea. Perhaps I do not size you up accurately, S. Q. G. Yuu may be a man who does not pnut for the sylvan shade. Very likely you are a seaside resortist and do not care for pauts but I simply say to you that if you are a worthy young man weary with life's great battles beaten back, per haps, aud wounded with your neck knocked crooked like a torn-tit lhat has run against a telegraph wire in the night, come up here into northern Wisconsin, where the butternut gleams in autumn sunshine and the ax-helie has her home. Come where the sky sky is a dark and glorious blue and ll e town a magnificieut red. Come where the coral cranberry nes'les iu tbe green heat of the yielding marsh, and the sand-hill crane stands idly on the sedgy brim of the lonely lake through all the long, idle day, with his bands in the tail ockel of his tan-colored coat, trying to remember what he did with his handkerchief. Come up here S. Q. G , and be ray amanuensis. I want a man to go with me on a little private excursion from the Dalles of tbe St. Croix to the Sault Sle Marie. I want him to go with me and act as my private secretary and carry mj canoe for me. Tbe salary would be 8mtll the first vear, but you would have a good deal of fun. Most any one can have fun with me. We would go mostly for relaxation aud to build up, but it would be a pleasure t0 mo to watch you build yours up. What I nead is a private secretary to go with. me and takedown litle thtnk- lets 'hat I may have thought. You would have nothing to carry but the canoe, a small tent, my gun, and a type writer. I would carry the field glas, I always carry the field-glass1 because something might happen to it.

A gentleman who has just returned from a huntiog excursion In Southern Oregon, says(the busines of killing deer for their skins is still carried on there as extensively as ever. The settlers in lhat section are becoming disgusted with the business but cannot do much to prevent it. Some are afraid of having their cattle shot if they make complaint, and others say: "We have dune the same thing oursphes," and have no right to complain ofjothers. In every direction in Coos, Curry and Jackton counties thecampsof tliskiu huntees are found, and around them are the car casses nf deer rotting on the ground. Two hunters will start out wilh a pack horse each loaned with provisions for two wetks, and at tho end of that time return with their horses laden with a hundred to a hundred and fifty deer skins. For these they get about 50 cents each. One of the worst features of this businpssiR that the skins are thinner and better adapted for fine buckskin in summer time than after the winter coat of hair has come out and the hide thickened, hundreds of does are shot hofore their fawns arfyifficr . ently grown lo take care of themselves. There should be something done at the next legislature to put a slop to this slaughtering of deer. Some effective law should be passed forbidding it. and a commissioner or other official ap pointed to look after the matter. Let every member nf the legislature make a note of this. fOresonian. Tns First W,ddg We like the short courtships, and in this Adam acted like a sensible man he fell asleep a bachelor, and awoke to 5nd himse'f a married man. He appears to have popped the question almost immediately after meeting Miss Eve. and she without flirtation or shyness, gave him a kiss and herself. Of that first kiss in the world we have had our own thoughts, however, and sometimes in. a political mood wished we were the the man that did it. But the deed is done, the chauce was Adam'a and he improved it. We like the notion of getting married in a garden. Adam's was private. No envious aunts and grunting grandmothers. ' The 'birds of the Leavens were the minstrels, and the glad skies fluns its licht on tlm scene. One thing about the first wed ding brings queer things to us in spite of ita scriptural truth. Adam and his wife were rather young to marry some two or three days old, according to the sagest elder; without exper ience. Without a house, a pot, or kettle; nothing but love aud Eden. Victoria's dislike for Gladstone is said by the St Stephens Gazette to date back to lhe passage of the Irish Church Disestablishment bill in 186S. The Queen expressed to Gladstone her aversion to lhe essential principles of the bill, and he replied: "But. madarae, jou must sign." The Queen flushed, and replied 'with indignarion; "Sir, da you know who I am? ' "Yen, madarae, the Queen of En.'and. But does your majesty know who I ami I am the peo ple of England." Here's a paragraph they are print ing in tho East about ourJConjresa uian: Just before Congress adjourned, Representative Hermann complained of ma arious symptotss. "Take k'neen," laid a friend "Well, I will," replied Hermann, thoughtfully. "I've been taking qui-nine, but it doesn't seem to do me sny good.
