4* 4 *. Wild Animals. Old Time Washington Duels. The Oregon and California Railroad Com pany, we understand from Mr. Scheulze, Agent of the Land Department, desires to make a collection of Oregon products for ex hibition at the coming Fair of the Mechanics’ Institute in San Francisco. Such a collection was made two years ago and exhibited at the Mechanics’ Fair, and attracted a good deal of attention. Many strangers visiting that ex position saw the Oregon display, and by its means much information was conveyed abroad concerning our State and its products. All such displays are valuable, and tend to create interest in our State. The present year promises to be very favor able for a good yield in almost all parts of this valley, and we should incline to believe that a better display can be made from the harvest of 1879 than was made from that of 1877. If the present indications are fulfilled, there will be a magnificent, indeed, almost an unexampled growth of many kinds of cereals and grasses. If there ever was a time when the farmers of the Willamette Valley could gather up materials for a grand agricultural display, it is now. We therefore hope that they will begin in season and make selections of vegetables, fruits, grasses and cereals, and there should l»e some nice fleeces of mohair and wool, as well as selections of hops,—any thing and everything that can show to ad vantage the wealth of our soil and suitability of our climate should be exhibited there. There are especial fields of agricultural and horticultural production in which the Wil lamette Valley excels, and in those respects the display should be as complete as possible. It would be a good idea to show as many Va rieties of fruit as possible that have been orig inated upon our own soil. Such products are creditable to our Stato. Mr. Lambert last Saturday showed two varieties of cherries originated by his own planting from seedlings. He can preserve specimens of these in alco hol, and any an«l ail others who have good varieties of earlv fruits can ai«l the cause by preserving them in this manner to add to the coining exhibit. The Railroad Company is interested in making this exhibit, and so is every goo«.! cit izen, and especially all producers. There is a sentiment of State pride to be consulted, also a local pride will incite each county to rival the productiveness of others. Then comes an individual priile that supplements all the rest, and is both honorable and judicious. While you are saving good specimens, l»e sure and save a double quantity, ro as to have some The Best Room. thing to show next fall at the Oregon State Fair.

It was thought that Gardenier was mor tally wounded, but he recovered, and the Federalists of the Ulster district re-elected him. He subsequently edited the Ex aminer, a newspaper published in the city of New York, and he died at King ston in 1822. One of his daughters mar ried Theodore S. Fay, one ol “them liter ary lellows” who has creditably repre sented this country at Berlin. His antagonist in the duel, George -Washing ton Campbell ot Tenuessce, was afterward Minister to Russia, and his daughter, Leczinska, born there, married Gen. ________________________ Ewelhof the Confederate army. Ex-Sen- oufclingman, who may now be seen at atoi iht effapiiol almost every day, displayed great coolness m a duel which he fought with Representative Yancey of Alabama. ^.Clingman had as his second Charles Lee Jones of this city, who is the recognized authority concerning the “code of honor,’’ and Yancey had Mr. Huger of South Carolina. Huger won the giving ot the word, and, alter the principles had been posted, he commenced, but no sooner had he said, “Are you ready?” than Yan cey raist-d his pistol. This elicited a per emptory “Halt!” from Jones, and the performance began a second time. But Ilugar, as well as Yancey, was flustered, and he did not say “Are you ready?” but “Fire!’’ at which they popped away. Nobody was hurt, and “the difficulty was honorably adjusted.” Jones was after ward the second of Stanley of North Caro lina. and Jeff Davis the second of luge of Alabama in a duel which was fought in 1851, and amicably settled alter an ex change of shots. The Yancev mentioned above and the present Senator Hill of Georgia were members of the Confeder ate Senate, and on one occasion they had a personal contest in exec utive session, in which an ink stand was thrown and blood was shed. Yancev was then affected wi-h Brigin’s disease, of which he dnd not a great while afterward, haring suffcrei great agony, during which he was at limes de.irious and would make very eloquent speeches.—Perley to Boston Journal Probably less is known of the extent, value and number of rare and valuable beasts reared in our own midst than any subject of interest to the public. If horses, cows, colts and calves have a market value, so have tigers, lions and their young, for of the latter many are bom in the United States every year. During ihe ¡»ast five years no less than seventeen little lions have seen the light of day though only six reached years of maturity. The details of their nursing is pecu liar. The lioness is not approached un til the cubs are fully three or four months old. They are then, by means of strategy, separated, and weaning commenced. A quart of milk, together with nice, boneless, juicy cutlets and titbits are given them until the seventh month, which is the critical period of cubs. If they get over that, they stand a fair chance of living a long time, though the period of tooth-shedding, which generally occurs at twelve months, is attended with danger. It is a known fact that lions attached to traveling vans, under proper care, are the most‘healthy and lively, and thrive better than those in zoological gardens. In this country a lion has been exhibit ed thirty-five years, and, as far as could be judged, was 15 years old when cap tured, so that he was certainly over 50 when he died. In eight out of ten cases congestion of the lungs carries them off The a|nount of food given a lion is less than one won 1<I suppose—thirteen founds lof beef a day, with bones ad libitum, being a fair allowance. When fed regularly, they show little disposi tion to glut themselves, and will rarely exceed fifteen pounds, even though a chance be given them. The greatest eare is exercised in keeping their cages clean, they are constantly shedding their Ijair, an accumulation of which adhering to their food and being swal lowed piakes them sick. The largest number of these animals are imported from the French province of Algeria. There is no affection in a lion; lie knews his keepei and fears him, and will obey him, but there is no uii’.’ctiun lietween them. The value of lions i> varied, though a good pair will readily bring 84,000, and the demand is c .instant. Rare animals are sought after constantly by the various zoological in stitutions and menagerie owners, and in many instances they have paid fabulous prices for tlie moie rare species. Tigers command about the same price as lions, but are/comparatively scarce and nut so fiopulur as the lions. Elephmts always find a ready market, two or three lieing imported yearly into this country, and sell without trouble at $G,000 to $8,000. Even a dead ele phant will find already buyer at from $100 to $300. The African specimens are the finest, being twice the size of their Indian brothers. Giraffes are exceedingly rare in the United States, in nearly epery case being able only to make the voyage from the Cape to England or the Continent The voyage to this country enfeeble them so that many die during the trip or imme diately after landing here. The least cold sensibly hurts them. They are valued at from $8,000 to $10,000 a pair. The rhinoceros and hippopotamus mar ket is an active one, as very few have ever reached this country alive. The bath of the latter render his transporta tion almost ini]K)ssible. The South American monkey is al ways in demand, while those of Africa are a drug on the market, they being dull and lazy and easily caught. The methods of catching them are numerous. In South America th« natives fill gourds with rum, which the monkeys drink, and, becoming totally unconscious under its effects, are easily taken. In Africa wooden vessels are used, into which they thrust their hands and cannot remove them. They range in value all the way from $1 up to $500. Africa is the great stock farm for ani mals. The Boera, a hundred or two most honored guests. miles above the Cape, are constantly ShaviDg the Beard. catching animals, and find a ready mar ket at Caj»e Town for them. The custom of shaving the beard was enforced by Alexander of Macedon, not Carious Dance of Alaska Indians for the sake of fashion, but for a prac tical end.

After several other dances had been held at the same place these bladders were taken down, and mid winter carried out on sea about two miles, and put through a hole in lhe ice at sunrise, the natives walking to and from the wa.ery sepulchre in solemn procession, and the ceremony was ended. “Is this sweet engaged?” asked a young fellow of a young lady in a car. And he said it so handsomely, and with such evi dent admiration, that she took her bon net box off the seat and let him sit beside her. And-but we anticipate. INTENDED EXPOSITION. Thimbles. At a recent meeting of the British Archaeological Association,.to statements made that these articles were of a recent date, evidence was adduced to show that they were well known to the Romans. The earliest examples, however, in Eng land and North Europe appear to have been of leather—one of that material being shown. It was in use in County Cork so late as 1820. A large number of examples of brass, dating from 1500, were exhibited. They were mostly found in London, and some of the 17 th century have inserptions. A Family of “Lightning Calcu lators.” There recently died in England, aged 72,-a man of prodigious arithmetical powers, whose mental faculties afforded matter for profound research to psychol ogists. His name was George Bidder, and various are the anecdotes of his wonderful powers of calculation and of memory. A person could read to Bid der two series of fifteen figures each, and without seeing or writing down a single figure he would multiply one by the other without error. Once, before a Parliamentary committee, an opposing counsel said: “You may as well profess to tell us how many gallons of water flow through Westminster bridge every hour.” “I can t«*ll you that, too,” was the reply, and he gave the number in stantaneously. The whole family pos sessed the same or similar powers. The eldest son could also multiply fifteen figures by fifteen figures without seeing them, by a process of his own. Even the granddaughters had extraordinary ¡towers of calculation. Hutchins, Bar num’s lightning calculator, bore no com parison to Bidder. His greatest feat of calculating was multiplying five figures by five figures in one line, using a slate or blackltoard, and, of course, seeing the figures. # —------- --------------— How to Anchor Him A beautiful young wife on the North Side has expended much ingenuity in devising a scheme to keep her husband at home of nights, and it proves very effectual. She flatters her liege lord alxmt the exquisitely dainty proportions of his feet, and induces him to wear boots about two sizes too small for him. He is on his feet all day in town, and when he gets home at night she has a soft chair and a pair of loose, cool slip pers for him, and by the time he, with great drops of agony pearling from his brow, has got off his boots, he comes to the conclusion that there is no place like home alfter all, aud has no /lesire to go down town to the lodge, or to sit up with a sick friend.—Chicago Tri bune. Injuries By Animals. Owners of beasts, or beasts that are in their nature vicious, are liable under all or most all circumstances for injuries done them, and in actions for injuries by such beasts it is not necessary to al lege that the owner knew th«in to be mischievous, for he is presumed to have such knowledge, from which it follows that he is guilty of negligence in per mitting the same to be at large. Though the owners have no particular notice that the animal evwr did any such mischief before, yet if the animal be of tho class that is ferae naturae the owner is liable to an action of damage if it get loose aud do harm. Owners are liable for the hurt done by the animal, even without notice of the propensity if the animal is naturally mischievous, but if it is of a tame nature there must be no tice of the vicious habit. Damage may be done by a domestic animal kept for use or convenience, but the rule is that the owner is not liable to an action on the ground of negligence without proof of that he knew that the animal was ac customed to do mischief. Domestic ani mals, such as oxen or horses, may in-’ jure the person or property of another, but courts of justice invariably hold that if they are rightfully in the place where the injury is inflicted, the owner of the animal is not liable for such an injury unless he knew that the animal was ac customed to be vicious, and in suits for such injuries such knowledge must be alleged and proved, as the cause of ac tion arises from the keeping of the ani mal after the knowledge of its vicious propensities.—Justice Clifford of the United States Supreme Court. guttered Twenty Years.
