Gearin, whom the next republican congression al nominee, in all human probability Binger Hermann, will defeat at the June election: He was Ixirn in Uma tilla county, Oregon, in August, 1851, while his parents were en route to this state to permanently settle in Chani- poeg, French prairie, Marion couuty. Mr. Gearin’s alma mater is the uni versity of Notre Dame, Indiana, from whence he graduated. He read law iu Portland in the office of Senators Dolph and Mitchell, and was admitted to practice in 1874. Subsequently he was elected to the legislature from Multnomah county on the independent citizens’ ticket. In 1878 he was nom inated for prosecuting attorney for the Fourth judicial district, and although he carried Multuomah county by a ma jority of 150 votes he was defeated in the district by the Hon. John F. Caples. In 1874 or 1875 be was nominated city attorney by Mayor Chapman, which office he filled two years. In 1884 Mr. Gearin again received the democratic nomination for prosecuting attorney of the Fourth district, when he was elected, defeating Hon. A. H. Tanner.

Tho Friend says: “It wtis said long ago, ‘Ingratitude is the basest of sius.’ If that lie true, what a de spicable sinner Adam Badeau must. be. His recent effort to rob his old friend and bopefactor, Gen. Grant, of what may justly be regarded as the crown ing glory of his brilliant career, is without a parallel in the realm of meanness. But his efforts to create the impression that he, rather thau Grant, wrote the Memoirs, will only result in harm to himself. The short, terse sentences, expressed in language bo plain as to remove all ambiguity, are proof positive that they are from the pen of the warrior chieftain, who, all his life, was so parsimonious of words that he never used two when one could lie made to make his mean ing clear. In bringing this action, and setting up this claim to joint author ship. Badeau has made the mistake of his life, and will hereafter occupy a much lower place in the affections of the people.” 44.

Shakespeare and Bacon City of Mexico dispatch, April 4. Says a Los Angeles dispatch of April 4th: A discovery which tnay prove in valuable to this city was made yester day at the residence of Ezra Fitch, on Custer street, near the Temple. Mr. Fitch has had well-borers working sev eral days, ami t liey went through black saud and blackish water for ten feet, when they struck a stratum of sand stone, which, contrary to the usual rules, was fouud level. After going twenty-three feet through, this became close-grained and was found to be soaked with petroleum. To-day the workmen struck several fissures from which a stroDg volume of gas poured, which burnt with a brilliant llama when lighted. There appears little doubt but what Mr. Fitch has discov ered a well of natural gas, and un doubtedly petroleum, in the city limits. The gas now comes from several fis sures and gives a flame sti|X^ior to the manufactured articles. Mr. Fitch pro poses to put in an oil rig and thor oughly develop his find. The Governor of Oregon seems to have peculiar views in regard to moral ity. Ho gave the woman known as Pearl Page a full pardon on «mditiou that she leave the State forever. In other words, she may go on the town in California or in any other State or Territory, but she must not remain in Oregon to inveigle any virtuous wel>- foot The Governor would have done better to reject the recommendation to the mercy of the sentimental jury. She was clearly guilty, and she showed throughout that she was ix»rfectly aware of the crime tbit sli« aided in accomplishing. The Governor's action hits simply made it much more difficult iu future to convict and pun ish any adventuress of her strijie.-- |Sau Francisco Chronicle. GENERAL NEWS. A Kansas paper summing up what a town should have makes use of the following language: More unanimity, faith in the future, fewer talented liars, fewer mon who know it nil, more faith in one another's honesty, fewer who are playing to get even, a public place for growlers to soak their heads, and a spitting on the slate and a rub bing out of old scores, old grudg<>s. and old personal, political and busi ness difficulties. It has lx»en found, in experiments on the disinfection of packages by heal and by steam, that dry heat at t he boil ing point for an hour is sufficient to destroy active bacilli of all ordinary in fectious diseas«*«; but, if spores are to be attack«!, a heat of 245 for an hour or of 220 for four hours will lx* re quired. The complete penetration of an object by steam-heat for more than five minutes is sufficient for its full dis infection; and this method is applica ble to such articles as pillows, which are very difficiilt of penetration to dry heat. Chicago dispatch, April 5: The final result of the mt»etings of employee of the various roads in the city, which lx»- gan yesterdey afternoon and lasted until a late hour last night, is announced this morning in the declaration that the boycott of “Q” cars htis lieen permanently raised, and that henceforth the contest will be confined strictly to the “Q” system.

No author probably ever sot greater store than Bacon on the produce of hiB brain, or was at more pains to see that it was neither mangled nor misrepre sented by careless printing or ediliug. Neither is there the slightest reusou to believe that he did not take gotxl care —nay, on the contrary, that he was not at especial pains to insure—that the world should be informed of everything he had written which he deemed worthy to be preserved. Two years liefore Bacon ma«le tnaile bis will th« first, or 1653, folio of Shakespeare's plays was published with the following title page: "Mr. Williatn Shakes peare's Comedies. Histories and Tra- gediee. Published Hceorditig to the True Originall Copies. London: Printed by Isaac .laggard aud Ed. Blunt. 1623.” It was a |x»rtly volume nearly a thousand pages, and must have taken many months, probably the best part of a year, to set up in types, anti get printed off. The printing of similar folios in those days was marked by anything but exemplary accuracy. But this volume abounds to such excess in typographical Haws of every kind that the only conclusion in regard to it which can be drawn is that the printing was not superin tended by anyone competent to dis charge the duty of the printing-house “reader” of the present day, but was suffered to appear with “all the im perfection« on its head” which dis tinguish “ proof sheets ” as they issue from the hands of illiterate «unposi- tore. Most clearly the proof sheets had never been read by any man of literary skill, still loss by any man capable of rectifying a blundered text. In this respect the lx «ok offers a murke«! con trast to the text of Bacon's works, printed in his own time, which were revised aud re-revised until they were brought up to a finished perfection. Better nnd Larger Yields. American Agriculturist. It is not in additional acreage that the progressive farmor must look for his gains, but in making less land yield more. This menus, primarily, the bestowing of more labor upon small areas; and to the average farmer this seems synonymous with the neglect of his larger iicreugo of grain. To har monize the apparently conflicting methods to increase the value of the product of a limited portion of our acreage are tho growing of vegetable supplies for our home markets through out the season; and the growing of vegetables for shipments to city mar kets in tho fall and winter. The first of these is particularly applicable to those farmers who are located near medium-sized towns say of from three to ten thousand population. Regular market-gardeners usually locate near the larger cities; and the«« smaller towns are dependent for their supply of spring and summer vegetables upon the scant surplus of some farmer's gardens or upon shipments from the cities. The second method noted can be advantageously pnrened by «nrh as are located near cities, as their entire product cau lie there disposed of to a wholesale merchant; or by those re mote from cities by near railma.ls ever which their crops ran be chipped in bulk to the city commission dealer.

People die through their ignorant« of the laws which govern their exist ence and also from their inability or indisposition to obey those laws with which they are acquainted. I do not see that there is any physi ological reason why man should die. From a knowledge of the causes of dis ease greater than that possessed 5A years ago, and from the advance of medical science leading to better meth ods of treating deviations from th« normal standard of health to which w« are subject, the life of a generation has within the period mentioned lieen lengthened from five to six years. That is, the average man instead of living’ 30 years as he did 50 years ago now lives nearly 36 years. Lxxikiug at the question from this standpoint only, it will be aeon that it is merely a ques tion of time when his life will be ex tended to thousands of years, and that with an eternity of time bis life also will be eternal. We know that this life is continued through the death of the various ntnnis of the «.«vend Usauee that enter into the composition of his body. The organs are kept in action by force and this forc<< from the uietauiorphobis of matter. Thus to obtain beat we burn wtxxl or coal, and Hshes and g-ises ar» evolved in the pnxws; to generat« electricity we convert zinc or som« other metal into a salt, through the action of an acid, and electricity is set free. Iu the laxly, the brain, the heart, the liver, the muscle« all act through the destruction, or rather alteration, of tie-Htibet.mc.. <>f which they are coin- posed. Withevery thought that eman ates from the brain, with every act of the will winch it originates, with every perception which it exj>enencea, a cer tain portion of the cerebral tissue is broken down into simpler sultstunoe« and through various channels is exe crated from the laxly. With every pul sation that the heart makes aotue part of the organ, small though it may b« in amount, is destroyed uudis cast out of the system to make room for new substance. The fixai that n man takes ought to be such ms would exactly repair th« losses which bis laxly is suffering. If it is excessive, or deficient, disease of some kind will certninly bo th« result. If be knew enough to lie able to ad just his daily fixai to the expected dully requirements of his system dis ease could never ensue through the ex haustion of any one of the vital or* gans. Suppose, for instance, that a man on rising in t he morning should say to himself, "To-day I have to read ten pages of ‘Blackstone’s CommentariM,’ twenty pages of ‘Don Quixote,’ to walk three miles and a half, to pay e visit of half an hour's duration to my grandmother and to take my sweet heart to the theater, where I ehal RjX'ud two hours; to do this I requir so much carlxtn, so much uitroger (giving, of course, the exact weight c: these several elementary substances I can get those precise quantities from eight ounces of bread, four ounce« o' eight ounces of beef, six oun« • of potatoes, four ounces of fish, a ha' ' pint of lx“ef soup, eight ounces < strong coffea, to make them go a Utt’ ’ further than they otherwise would. 1 case I have an < xtraordinsry detnar made upon tne for mental or pbymc exertion, I shall have to add to the sultstances others which will compen sât« for the increased loss.” Now supixme that he is exactly ng: ■ in his calculations and that the fix taken is neither too great nor too Utt' •. but exactly compensates the anti '- |xit«d lossce, the death of each cell i • the brain or the lieart or the ttiuscb • etc., will lx» follow«] by the birth of a new cell which will take its place at. ! assume its functions.
