Since my last the weather has some what changed—turned cooler with oc casional showers. Not a case of sickness on Applegate, within the range of my knowledge. Harvest over. A bountiful crop, and and abundance of fresh ground Hour, daily. All eat good biscuits and rejoice in plenty. Still they come—I mean persons who are seeking new homes, and many are finding them, and are well satisfied so far. We only wish we had more laDd for them, but menv have to turn »or- rowfully away because they cannot find homes here, for the news has gone forth that Applegate is the country, and so it is, if pure air and water, good crops I and good health are good recommen dations. Camp meeting has come and gone, nod severel were added to the church, and all seemed to have bad a good time. Our Sunday school on Missouri Flat is still in a very prosperous condition, and so we mean to keep it for some time to come. Rev. Harris, from Umpqua, has been holding meetings on Williams creek, recently. Willis York and Miss E. Meek were joined in wedlock on the 20th inst., by Rev. Wooldridge, at the residence of H. York. There are others here who would marry if they only had the cour age to ask for their darlings. A few potatoes have been Bent to market, and some onions, but neither are ripe enough to dig. The fruit crop is not so large as that of last year, but still is abundant. Prospecting parties are still passing up and down the river—having “just struck it,” or just going to. Cunningham & Co., have commenced work on their new saw mill, in the Williams creek country. It will be quite an expensive mill, as they con template adding planing, shingle, turn ing and morticing machines. Improvement is the order of the day, and the sound of the ax, plane and saw is daily beard. Permanent homes are being made, for no one who is fortu nate enough to possess a home on Ap plegate, wishes to seek for a better one. M ack . Presently the stillness of the court room was interrupted by the entrnno« of a man, who came in with a shuffling uneasy step, and with his bat in bis hand. He halted and leaned against the railing. Nobody took the slightest notice of him, however. At last he took courage and spoke: “Is the judge in ? ” The clerk immediately awoke Hit Honor. “Well, wbat do you want?” “I’m looking for a job, your Honor. I’ve been lookiug for work for over a month.’’ “There’s nothing for you here.” “I thought ye occasionally gave jury men a job. I don’t read newspapers any, and bein’ a stranger in town I hav en’t got any predujice agin anybody, A pard of mine wrote down to me at Reno, last week, and said that the jary business up here was brisk and that it would pay to come tip. As I’m a stran ger to you, and a little bard-np, I’ll start in and serve for a caBe or two for half price, and you can see what I can do.” “Wbat are your main qualifications?” “My strong Buit is in making a jury agree. No juries ever get hung if I’m on ’em. I just lay low till they take the first ballot, then jine the majority and argue the rest into it. I can dis count any lawyer talking, I can show ’em up points they never tumbled to before. Sometimes I have to useforoe but seldom. Once down at Truckee, in a murder case, there were a couple of fellers standin’ out agin’ hangin’, and after arguing with ’em as smooth and gentlemanly as I could for over a qaarter of an hour, I went for ’em with chairs, and by the time I had basted half a dozen pieces of furniture over !em they was glad to come in with a verdict of ‘murder in the first degree,’ and the feller was bung not long after wards. In these justice courts I can get on the jury, and if you just give me the wink as to bow you want the case to go, and I’ll guarantee to fetch in the verdict you want or not take a cent.” The man was told to drop around again in a day or so, and they would try and make a vacancy for him. In order to do it, however, some regular juryman will probably have to be dis charged.—Vir. City Chronicle. i F anny F ern ’ s P icture of the M od ern O ld M aid . —For the benefit of those who may have seen it when it first appeared in the Revolution, we re produce here etchings from Faunv Fern’s picture of the modern old maid: “No sir, she don’t shuffl i round here in ‘skimpt’ raiment, awkward shoes, cotton gloves, with horn side-combs fastening six hairs to her temples. She don’t read ‘Law’s Serious Call,’ or keep a cat, or a snuff box, or go to bed at dark, or scowl at little children, or gather catnip. Not a bit of it. She wears nicely-fitting dresses and becom ing bitsof color in her hair, and she goes to concerts or parties, and suppers and lectures, and don’t go alone, either, and she lives in a nice bouse earned by her self, and gives nice little teas in it. She don't work for no wages and bear toleration day and night. No, sir. If she has no money she teaches, or she lectures, or she writes books and poems, or she is a book-keeper, or she sets type, or she does anything else but de pend upon somebody else’s husband; and she feels well and independent in consequence, and holds up her head with the best and asks no favors, and woman’s rights has done it. She has sense as well as freshness, and conver sation repartee as well as dimples and curves. She carries a dainty parasol, and a natty little umbrella, and has live poets and sages and philosophers in her train, and knows how to use her eyes, and don’t care if she Dever sees a cat, and couldn’t tell a snuff-box from a patent reaper, and has a bank book and dividends, and her name is office or Phoebe, and woman's rights has done it.” The imperial government of China has issued an edict against the use of opium, declaring its nse was bringing destruction upon the Chinese people. In addition to the home production, opium is imported in tn China to the annual value of over $40.000,000, prin cipally from British India. N ew G old M achine .— The X K Tri* biuic says a small bnt steady business in gold mining in the Southern States will receive an impetus as soon as the machine which has lately been perfect ed in this city becomes generally in troduced. It crushes ore into powder as fine as the sands on the seashore, then separates the bits of metal from the powdered etone by a peculiar pro cess of shaking and blowing. The cheapness of the apparatus compared with the cost of stamp mills, and its efficiency, will permit eonthern and other ores to be worked with excellent profit. People from the west and south and from Peru are investigating the capabilities of the invention. ----------------------- . The Albany Evening Journal says cap ital must be content with leas returns. Labor must recognize the changed sit uation. All classes must understand that we have passed the era of high profits, high wages and high living and have entered upon a period in which everything must be measured by a dif ferent standard. One of the Indian prisoDers held at Lapwai has been identified m one of those who committed the first mardera along Salmon river. An Irish soldier, beiDg for the first time on guard, was thus accosted by a friend: “What are ye standing there for Mike?” ‘ Sure they tould me to stand here for a cent bury.” The commission to visit Sitting Bull will start on its journey toward Fort Benton this week. G *n. Terry is not ex pected to come, bnt the instructions to be issued by the interior department will be sent out by Col. Corbiue, who will act as secretary to the commission. The commissioners will go from Fort Benton to Fort Walsh, on British soil, and will there endeavor to oommnnioate with the Indian». It will be accompa nied by a cavalry escort of at least 100 men, and it is expected by the coariosy of the Canadian government this escort will be allowed to aooompany the com mission wherever they go. They ex- peot to be absent at least two mouths.
