The concern on Jackson street teems to feel hurt because tbe rrembers of tho MeKinley club went in a body to tbe M. E. church last Thursday night as a mark of respect to tho church of which their standard bearer is a member, fear ing that they might receive somo spiritual benefit along with their poli tics. But that is not a remarkable thing for tho "Stamper." He would stamp out every noble sentiment in others, because, like his patron saint, be would fain believe others no better than him celt.

With the change of one word in the above saying, viz ; hate for lore, and we have a description- of the democrats at Boston last week in their convention to nominate a gover nor.

He leaped out of the ball window and to five himself from falling caught a live wire tbat electrocuted him. THE POOR PEOPLE OF MEXICO. Mr. T. W. Johnson, of Portland, a na tive of this city, who has just passed his majority, has spent six months in Mex ico. He has jutt returned. During bis stay in Mexico he visited nearly every part of the country. Asked by a re porter yesterday about conditions there, be said: "Tbe condition of the laboring classes ia far from enviable, and tbe poorest Americans would refuse to exchange place with them. Cildren under G years of age seldom wear any kind of clothing, and even tha women dress mis erably. A cheap waist and a skirt of the most common material constitute an entire suit. They wear no baU, and sel dom have on a thoe or s'ocking. Tbeir booses are but buta, or shanties, with bare ground for a floor and seldom more than one small window. Bedding and furniture are very meager, and their diet is extremely plain, while pianos, organ, books or pictures are nuite unknown to tbem. "No scch fine borEes and carriages, btuines trucks or wagoos as we have here are seen in Mexico, cave in the larger cities, and eren there they are scarce. Burros carry most of the mer chandise, and even this slow mode of transportation seems fast enough for the easy-going people, who are more fond of siesta than of work, and who have so little ambition tbat tbeir aspirations do not reach above or beyond tbeir bumblo surroundings. "There in but little manufacturing, and tboee who have money are like mailers, wniie tne laborers, or peons, are more like serfs or slaves. In each families, living in the poorest manner, numerous children are born, who follow in the footsteps of tbeir parents, and thus con tinue in the same low condition of life. "No better object lesson could the la boring men of America have than a vitit to Mexico and a glance into the bumble homes would afford tbem. It would at once convince them that cheap money is not to be desired ; tbat a silver basis is demoralizing to the country, and that a gold standard, with use of both motals for a circulating medium, such cs we now have, is tbe best for the nation, the fam ily and the citizen."

Finds Little Favor. Lo.vdox, ?ept. 20 The wearisome Ar menian question has almost abtorbed public attention during the week. The proposal of Mr. Gladstone to withdraw the British ambassador from Constant! nop'.e and dismiss the Turkish ambassa dor here, is discussed by all newspaper?, but Ends little favor, and is looked npon as being simply a poilcy of crying "boo,' which will have absolutely no good , effect upon the sultan. All eyes are now turned toward Bal moral, wheru the arrival today of tbe Marquis of Salisbury, it is hoped, marks a turning point in Great Britian's post Uon toward the powers. The British premier will stay several days at Balmo ral, and there is little doubt that be will utilize his time in endeavoring to win from tbe czar a recognition of tbe diain terested character of Great Britian's pol icy toward Tnrkey, and arrange a basis for joint action, wb'ch will render further massacres inH-.2sible. On the Continent, Mr. Gladstone's speech was received diilerently in tbe various countries, ine trench press expretsed unusually favorable opinions of it, and even tbe notorious Anglophobe organ gave it a genero'is praise. The Libre Parole describes it as the finest Mr. Gladstone has ever made, and one which stigmatizes most magnificently tbe crime o! nropeah diplomacy in past years. In fact, tbe comments of tbe press generally indicate that France has at last awakened to the enormities of Turkish rule, and she will welcome an understanding between Russia which will enable them to take joint and effect ive action at Constantinople. In Ansiria and Germany, however, tbe newspapers scoff at Mr. Gladstone proposal regarding tbe ambassadors, which is characterized as fanatical and frivolous. The remarkable violence of tbe Eng' lisb agitation which has been conducted against the saltan is shown by tbe character of the epithets which have been burled at him t.y tbe usually mod erate-epcaking English people. Mr Gladstone's epithet of "the great assaB sin" seems to have set tho fashion, the Duko of Westminister following with "fier.d incarnate," Earl Spencer pre' ferring "representative of a diabolical and atrociouB government." The term' applied by William Watson the poet, "Abdul the Damned," in bis series of sonnets on the Armenian qucs tion, perhaps finds the most frcqucn repetition of any ol them. Tho press is not bellied In its Bccsational dealings with tbe subject by the most lurid headlines in tbo newspapers and posters to advertise them. The Chronicle is nrintinc a series of "murder maps" on tbo subject. An Eventful Week. Itoseburg was bloiecd last week with four political specchs, 'and the usual sido show interruptions) the dedication of tbe Soldiers' Home hospital and last though not least, the cunforeuce of the M.

Almost over ninco tho first books wero mado tho fashion of niarblolzing tho odges of mauy of thorn has been in vogue. It nsod to bo, hovrover, that only tho most exponsivo volumes thoso bound In full calf and elaboratoly let tered had their edges thus garnished, hut now Mich linisliiiiR is left, for tho most parr, for ledgers, daybooks and other blank books intended for business nso. Though lone before gilt odges woro thought of the ornamenting of tho plain whtto rdgos of books to imitato marblo was popular, thero has boon llttlo or no change in tho process sinco ita first in troduction. It is generally supposed that nil such details havo como under tho stnmp of tho bookmaker's nrt until thoro is noth ing loft in them to remind ono of their first and earliest dayp, but not with marbling. As timo has gone on tho pop nlarity of this motliod of ombellishing paper has grown less. Consequently there has been no need to devuo means by which it could bo more speedily dono. Thero hnvo been tomo improvements in tho original methods, but most book binders Mill stick to tho old way as good enough. lticicud of books whizzing through machinery ono after another and taking on tliuir warbled edges in somo mysteri ous manner, as might bo supposed, each bock is taken by hand separately and tho Ienvjoi dipped, tightly held together, nto tliu liquid that marks tiicir edges with tho mauy colored littlo veins, be fore the covers aro put ou. A trough about two inches deep is filled with gum water, on tho surface of whf-h varion3 colored pigments havo btcii thrown and disposed in various fornis with a comb and coarse wiro teetb. Tho cans of liquid paint are ranged along tbo bides of tbo trongb, and from them tho paint is taken by dipping into them loop, soft hairbrushes that aro held over tho water aud allowed to drin. Ono color in put down right over tho other, and tho wide, coarso comb drag ged through them. Tbo liooks aro ex tremely dexterously dipped into the wa ter, aud tliu colors adhering to their edges nro set by dashing cold water over them. But ono of tho threo edges at a time can bo mnrblcizcd and set up on cud to ory beforo the book can bo ban died again for auother dipping. Thus tho variegated edges of books nnd inar bled papers for tho sides nnd covers of them r.ro produced. Tho piucosa may seem n littlo slow, but it answers all tbo needs that tbe bookbinder finds for it. St. Louis Re public. SPEED OF WILD DUCKS AND GEESE. Tlir Ducks Meice Orcr Mxty-tlx Miles an Hour anil ncttly the Grrte. Of all tho migratory birds tho Ameri can wild pigeon aud black duck aro well up toward tho front as regard long and rapid flight. Tho speed of the pigeons can only be estimated, whilo that of the ducks cau be established by observation. Somo years ago tho writer and a ecich tific friend measured off on tho shore of a largo western river a lino exactly three miles long, and each took a station at opposite cuds of tho line. Tho object was to iiotcv'by, means of preconcerted signal?, the timo a flock of wild ducks took in passing up cr down tho nver, near tbe stations. During threo hours on tbo morning of a bright October day, observations were noted of the times of passing the stations f nine different flocks, upon comparing watches it was found that tho averago timo was 2 minutes and 43 second?, tnus snowing tno speed per hour to be GG.' miles, or ono milo in 54 seconds. As showing how uniform was their flight, a difference was found of enly five seconds between tho greatest and tbe least intervals of time. as numerous necks of wild geese wero daily flying in tho same neighbor hood observations wero also taken to test their hourly speed. Two points twenty niuo aud one-third miles apart were sc Icctcd, both of which wero connected by telegraph. Wo succeeded in identifying four out of seven flocks which passed over both places during tho four days wo wero ou tho watch. Tho mean hour ly toeed was found to bo a fraction otct 54 miles. Tbo wild goose has been long supposed to bo tho swiftest of nil water fowl, but this experiment shows tbat io is far behind tbo wild duck. New York World. A IJfnrfactor of His Specie.

Every ono is taking ad van tago of this fino weather to get their fall work done. Quito a number of our citizens are suffering with tho la grippe. This community was surprised and shocked on laBt Saturday night to learn of tho sudden death of L. D. Allen of this place. Mr. Allen was an honorable, upright citizen, a loving husband and a kind father. He leaves a wife and three small children to mourn bis Iojp. The bereaved family have the deepest eym pathy of the entire community. Mr. Walter Tooze of Woodburn, spoke upon tbe issues of the day at Yett'a Hall on tbo 23rd, to a highly appreciative audience who frequently applauded the truths and arguments advanced by Mr looze in lavor of sound money and pro tection. We think that a few more such speeches as the one rendered by Mr, Tooze, would be very beneficial to the cause of sound money and would bo the means of converting some of the weak ened popocrats of this precinct. By all means, send us some more good speak- err. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. W W. Shipley, gave them a surprise at their residence one night last week, it being the anniversary of the thirty-fourth birtuday ol Mrs. bbipley. lnere were over fifty persons present and the even ing was spent in games, singing and social conversation until a lato hour, when they all departed to their several homes wishing Mrs. Shipley many more happy anniversaries.

They stole a lot of chickens and had it reported tbat they were taken by or for the preachers They said tbo yellow legged feather clad roasters perched high in mortal dread of their impending fate and that it was with difficulty they could be reached. They bad no compunction of conscience on tbe subject, as they regarded the birds must go either to tbeir own stomachs or those of the preachers'. It was all the same to tbe birds, they said, so thev thongbt that their own slomicbs were as worthy recepticals of chicken as tboi of the clergy, who would doubtless faie sumptuously on other crqwers from other perches. But as the birds, when disrobed of their feathers, could not be identified, they came off scott free. Two Lives Lost.
