THE GRif COUNT! , .December 6. IS SO. There is talk of tlio United States purchasing Lower Califor nia of Mexico, mid making n new state of it. Como up and subscribe for your homo paper like men, and Mop that contemptible practice of borrowing it from your friend or neighbor. A new substitute for tobacco is being introductcd. It is a mixt ure of British herbs the particu lar plants arc l;opt corot and smokers who bavo tried the com- fiouud declare it to be duliciously ragranl, slightly uxhilarating and withal soothing to the nerves. Postmaster General "Wannnm kor received a letter from the sU master at Loaisn, Ivoiitueky, slat ing that the democrats of his neighborhood blew up his ollice with dynamite to celebrate the Ohio victory. Tho matter will bo investigated by poslolllco ollicials. A Lancaster county (Pennsylva nia) ponsioneer (.'rawing M a month recently boasted to a stran ger that ho could set more fence thou any man in the country. When his pension was stopped he tainted that the stranger was a government detective sent to in voigato hi wise.

A Southern l'opubiican con gix-Ksifl-11 states that all tho South ern Kppiililicnn mumliers of con gross would voto in a body for speaker. They favor Mckinley, but will go to tho ninn from whom thoy can securo tho best terms for committee places. It is conceded that iT Heed cannot win on. the first ballot his chances will bo gone. Laughing is catching and it al so may be attended with pain and moi'tilication. iMisH Taggnrt of Plaiiiiield, X. .1., laughed so hard at one of her escort's jokes that she dislocatod hor jaw. . For two hours, before a doctor could be foiitid. she sulfered terrible agony. It .eventually took two physician fort)- minutes to got the jaw buck to its socket. When a Chinaman is arrested in California he does not give the correct "celestial" name, but puts up an America combination. This JsTOfton amusing, ror instance, when Hop Lee was brought in be fore a San Francisco justice he gave Iuk name as Cnblmge Cow. .loll n is imitative and soon falls into American waysespecially tlioovil ways. Two petitions are circulating at Boston among manufacturers, merchants and dealers in wool and woolen goods, one of thoiu asking "coi.gross to abolish tho duties on manufactured wool, and the other asking for the substitution of ad valorem for specific rates. Only persons engaged in handling wool or its prolines in one way or an -othor will lu asked to sign, and tho movers in the matter look for the addition of a long list of iiaiiic to ono paper or the other. Southern Oregon will dumaud rouognition at the hands of both political parlies next spring when state nominations aiu made. JS'o less tlmii a half domi candidates noutb of the t'uliipooin arc already in the held, or an- Uiug ijuutli urgud forward by their friends for more or leas lucrative ollice, rang ing from the governship to the justico of tho supremo court. Eastern Oregon is justly entitled to fioiuo recognition in the btate convention and should present her claims duly verified. Somo time ago there was a ter rible ease whero morphine was put up for (juinino by a druggist. It appears that theto mistakes are iirndo sometimes everywhere in the world, but tho most expensive placo to mako them is in Palis. An apothecary there recently gave pills of opium for quinine, and the man died. On his trial the apothecary houc6t)y admitted his error, which perhaps lightedod ono end of the ponalty, llo wis sen tenced to three months' imprison ment and to pay S,000 to tho widow, Political ((Hairs in tho young State of Montana are geftiyg fear fully mixed. The members of tho I louse have organized in two distinct bodies the republicans attending one, and the democrats tho other. Tho republican mem bers of the Semite assembled, but as the democrats refused to attend, the body is without a quorum. Tho Indians nenr Crescent City, Cal.,jiro very much excited over tho killing or one or their number in tho jail nt that place a few days ago. They demand 8000 or thnt tho man bo hung. They will nut bo Mtisficd by sending "lJuelinrd, the slayer, "to tlio penitentiary. They insist on their terms, mid declare if thoy are not complied with some white man will ho killed. Some time ago, Wanamnker, Pofitimutor General, voluntarily pledged himiolf to Senator Wade Hampton of South Carolina that the democratic postmaster at Col umbia in that state should be per mitted to nerve his term out and that no appointment would be made, oxen at tho expiration of tho term without first consulting the Senator. The other day while I ho Senator was abiciit fiom bin state Wananmker removed remov ed the democratic postmaster and appointed his successor. As soon as Hampton heard of it he wrote WfiiiNiiinkcr a switching letter in which, among other things he Rid: The newspapers state that In-side managing the great de partment over which you preside, yon lire running a .Sunday school in Philadelphia, and it occurs to me that you might with prolit to yourself select as the most appro priate subject of a lecture to your jiupil the instructive story of "Ananias and Sapphire." This would give you a fine field for your eloquence in eplainiug to your young charges tho import ance of confining themselves to the truth - except when some fun cicd advantage might be obtained over a political opponent.

Tlio exact location is kept a profound secret, as ho wishes to claim anything of vtiluc ho may find. Darwin explains the origin of giddiness from this cause in tho following way: He says that in learning to walk, wo judgo of the distance of tho obfocts wo up proach by tho eye, and by observ ing their perpendicularity deter mine our own; and that at all times wo determine our want of perpendicularity, or inclination to fall, by attempting to the apparent motion within the sphere of dis tinct vision. Hence, when wo are upon tho summit of n high el id, tower, or other eminence, and look down, we become diaty be cause the objects below us nto out of tho spere of distinct vision, and we are obliged to balance ourselves by tho less accurate feelings of our muscles.
