Well do some of ne remcm- ber I lie quaint Htorlos aboul the croco lilies which wo read when children, In those days we used to put the accent on the second sylluhle, tbu; Ma-drns Nowadays, though wrong, we have become accustomed to putting the ac cent on the first 8ylul)le, muring it Mud-rufl. Tho furrjoJsp(lyrpm whiuh our town has derived Its name Is the third city in India, capital of the presi deticy of the eumo name; situated on the Bay of Bengal, ojang the shctres of which it extends for ten tnllesv The city, which has an area of 21 square miles, is built on a sandy plain only a few feet above the sea level, and the drainage is consequently bud, It con sists of Fort St. George (the first British possession in India) and of twenty-three villages, which have grown touether Into ono municipality The streets aro macadamdized, but the street liehtlne, sewerage, meaus of transit, etc., ate so poor that the city is often niuk-uamed "The Benighted." The water supply is obtained from wells and the Red Hill tanks or reser voirs. Tho Cooum river, which traverses the center or the city, is little better than nu open sewer, the mouth of which Is billed up from the sea for a large part of the year. A similarly sluggish stream, the Adyar, (lows across the city on the south. In the center of the town, but im mediately on the sea, stands Fort St. George, which, besides the biirracks for the British troops and other mill titry Institutions, contalus the connoil house, iu front of which stands the marble statuo of Lord Cornwallle, tho arsenal, St. Clary's Church (more than 100 years old), and other public build- ugs. Other buildings are the High Court; the light house, 128 feet high and visible 20 miles; tho Madras club, he observatory and the hospital. The numerous residences of the European officials, civil and military, are gen orally palatial structures. Parks and gardens usually surround the houses and contribute much to the beauty oi tho city. Madras is progressing Industrially and has several large cotton mills, tnnnerieB and an ice factory. It tins several canals, the most im portant of which Is the Buckingham, extending northward for 100 miles, and Is au Important railway center. Though destitute of any natural harbor, and thus unfavorably situated for commerce, Madras Is In direct stenm communication with Europe and tho principal parts of the East It experts hides, spices, tea, coffee, ndigo, cotton and saltpeter; and Im ports cotton goods, canned goous, liquors, metals and horses, Recently commodious artificial harbor has been constructed at great expense, and vessels aro now comparatively well lie! te rod from the terrible hurricanes to which they were formerly exposed n the opou roadstead, atid passengers tire no lonuer landed through the eurf on catamarans anu mu uawve uma sulah boats, consisting of pi auks bound 1 At.- 1 I together with string. In calm weather tho surf breaks about BOO feet from tho shore, with waves S feet high, while In stormy weather the break is 1,000 feet rrora the shore and the height of the waves la 15 feet. The heat Is great bat com paratively dry, and an invigorating sea breeze, called "the tloctor," Diowe the (greater 'paHot the year frow about noon to sunset. Madras was founded In 1680 by FranoUDayo the Bast India Cobb. a a, m nany, who oDiaiueu a graui oi iuu fro (8 the Rajah of Cuaudraglr! In that year, and was made a presidency In 168, The fort hM often bees ttake4 'In 1702 and 174i by the native. In 1748' it WAS captured by tho French, but restored two years later, and in 1768-69 it' wss unsuccessfully beslegtd by them. In 1803 it was swept by a great flro which consumed 1,000 houses, and it suflered greatly iu the great hurricane of 1872. Its popoulatiou faover half amillion. Ills very gratifying to us who are resident! of the new town of Madras, Oregon, that this town was so named, The uarao and Its orthography is a practical one for all modern languages. The German, the Frenchman, tho Swede; and, in fact, all Continental races,, can speak and spell the word without straining in the least their lingual ability. Again, tbero Is no other; town of the same nume In any Btato of tho Union; consequently there can be no. confusion of mail. These are some of the reasons why the Post onjee department accepted the name Madras a.nd rejected the former name, Palmain. LQCAL NEW. -jTQe Iarnach is plowing with a gang plow. D,r. W. I.
