OUEUOX'S CHANCE.
Chief Buchanan of the worlds' fair re
quests that each state contribute the
trunks of threo of its most characteristic
trees to be use J in constructing a rustic
colonade for the forestry building. Here
is our (ihance at last. In the western
part of the state where the woods arc
covered with fallen timber of little
earthly account, it will be easy to iind
three trunks handsomely decorated with
moss, our "characteristic" lycopodium
Then let us try if same of the railroads
that traverse the stale would not carry
them to Chicago for nothing. It is quite
possible some, enterprising citizens
might put up enough monej for the ex
penses of such au exhibition and there
would be no question abovft the "charac
teristic" business.
Appreciating JTcKinlcy's victory in
Ohio, Salem republicans are sending
him a line pair of Oregon-wove home
made blankets. -
Not the least significant fact connected
with the late elections is that the only
state where the fight was fairly and
squarely on the tariff question, and its
chief apostle the 'eading candidate, was
Ohio and this state pronounced in favor
of that issue by 20,6oO majority.
That was a handsome act of Governor
Campbell when after learning of his de
feat ho sent the following congratulatory
message to his successful rival:. "I
heartily congratulate you upon your
election. I have no doubt you will serve
Tthe people of Ohio, with lidelity and
honesty."
2so. 1 of volume 1 of the Troutdale
'Champion," the only paper published in
Multmonah county outside of Portland"
has come to hand. It is intended to re
present the agricultural and manufact
uring interests of the section of "country
in which it is published. The Chroxi-
t'LE bids it welcome.
The New York Presbytery, last
AVednesday, by a vote of ninety-four to
-thirty-nine, dismissed the case against
Professor Briggs in which he was
charged with having given utterance to
certain heretical statements in his
inaugural address before the Union
Theological seminary. This action, how
ever, does not end the controversy as it
will undoubtedly be taken before the
New York svnod.
A gentleman living iu Salein came into
possession of a black eye and badly
bruised face the other dav and for fear
any one would think he had been in a
scrimmage he got the Journal to publish
a real nice little story about falling over
a wire thrt :i bad boy had stretched
across the sidewalk, as the good man
was going to church. That's a decided
improvement on the old chestnut about
the sidewalk flying up and hitting its
victim.
The assessment roll of Marion county
has been completed aud the result shows
a gross property value of $1 1 ,G70,32 or
an increase of more than two and a half
million dollars over the usseesnient. of
181)0. The indebtedness' is (3,033,353,
the ex.-inplions $098,017, leaving a net
taxable valuation of $7,93S,950, an in
crease f a million and a half over the
assessment of 181)0. , There is an increase
in town lots of over a million and an iu
creast in every item excepting those of
sheep nr.l land. Speaking of the two
and a half million increase in the gross
valuation the Salem Jonraoi says it
- actually represents a real increase of ten
millions as the Journ;U considers the
assessed valuation is not more than
twenty-five per cent, of the real one.
If this estimate is correct the Jotthiai
ran well aft'ord to ask "Where, is there
. a county in Oregon that can show a
batter gai:i the past year?" :

Protected by u Child. . J
The grandson of Count ' d'Hacsscn
ville. in La Via de Mon Pere relates
how the noted royalist escaped from
the tnob on the terrible Aug. 10, 1 792:
My grandfather did not emigrate.
Louis XVI, who had confidence in his
rare courage and entire devotion, had
made him promise not to leave him, and
he was always one of those who in mo
ments of danger hastened to the Tuil
eries to defend the royal family. He
was with the king throughout the 10th
of August. When the royal family left
the legislative assembly he found him
self in a position of great danger.
- He took advantage of the semitwi
light in the lobby to destroy his lace
ruffles and hid his gold laced hat and his
eword under the seats.
Then he joined the-crowd which va3
leaving the hall and the offices. But the
difficulty was to pass from the entrance
to the assembly hall to the gate of the
drawbridge of the Tuileries without be
ing recognized. In this space and at the
gate were the people, excited by having
taken the palace and by the massacre of
the Swiss, which had occupied them
nearly all day. '
In crossing the garden my grandfather
noticed a child who had been hit by a
bullet and was moaning fin the ground
surrounded by several persons. He
walked straight to .the group, lifted the
child in his arms without saying a word,
and went on toward the gate, walking
'slowly and apparently quite absorbed in
comforting the little child. His face was
thus concealed as he reached the gate
and ordered the crowd aside.
He was allowed to pass unsuspected,
and still protected by hi.s r-ecious bur
den he passed through ; streets and
neared the d'Haussonville mansion. Then
he left the child and a sum of money
with a physician, with instructions that
the little one should be given the best of
care.
Crime Iji the Air.
It has been frequently noticed that
there are epidemics of robberies as well
as of suicides and other crimes. A crim
inal epidemic, peculiar to a half dozen
large cities of the United States that
have a large and vicious population, is
that of Sunday murders, which are the
results of a day of idleness. Then,
again, murders with peculiar features
often occur in groups in all parts of the
country. In France there is a tradition,
centnries old. that epidemics of suicide
return In regular eyeries, at each recur
rence of the suicidal furor the succes
sive victims "of their own murderoas
hands vieing with one another in the
greater ghastliness of the tragedy that
they enact. -
Stories of wife murders in various
parts of the country, relieved by a few
exceptional murders of husbands by
by their wives, reach the press simul
taneously from many different sources.
"Murder is in the air" has become a
stereotyped expression among newspaper
men and detectives, who know from ex
perience that such epidemics will run
their cycles and cause many bloody
records to bo made before they have
spent their fury. :'
With bank robberies it is the same.
It is not often that a single robbery is
made one is sure to breed others; "they
come not singly, but in whole battal
ions." This is not because the same
gang engages in many different enter
prises, but because a universal similar
impulse permeates the minds of the
classes devoted to that form of guilt.
St. Louis Republic
The Terrible Atwnia.
In "Sted man's Expedition to Surinam"
the following wonderful account of the
aboma or dragon is given: "This re
markable creature 13 called aboma in
the . colony of Surinam. Its length,
when full grown, is often more than
forty feet, its body being four feet and
over in circumference. Its color - is a
greenish black on the back, a fine yellow
on the sides and a dirty white on the
belly, the back and sides being spotted
with irregular black rings, with a pure
white spot iu the center of each. Its
head is broad and flat, small in.propor
tion to its body, with a large mouth and
teeth set in double rows. It has two
bright, prominent eyes, is covered all
over with scales about the size of a shill
ing, and has two sharp claws under the
belly near the tail which it uses in seiz
ing its prey.
"It is an amphibious animal, that is, it
delights iu low. marshy places, where it
lies cij-cealad under fallen timber, ready
to st-.V,' its pre'y, which, from its im
mense bulk, it is not active enough to
pursue. . VV nen hungry it will devour
any annual that comes within its reach,
aud is indifferent if it ba a sloth, a wild
boar, a stag or a tiger. - After twisting
itself about the body of a buffalo, a stag
or a tiger, by help of its claws, it breaks
every bone m the poor victim's body.
have been told of negroes being devoured
by this snake and am not disposed to
discredit the story. He bites .from no
other impulse but that of hunger and is
not venomous.
Unclaimed Funds. '
There are tens of thousands of dollars
lying in the vaults of the subtreasnry in
New York which belong to pensioners.
Gheclrs have been issued probably cov
ering the whole . amount, but from one
cause or another the money ha3 never
been claimed. The checks have never
been presented. .The money stands to
the credit of the various pension agents
acting as disbursing officers of the gov
ernment. - An account with one of these
officials, is never closed tin till "all the
checks come in and no more are to come.
He may have overdrawn. There is no
way to determine this until everything
is squared up. New York Herald.
, Reticence Regarding That Hat.
Says a society paper: "Letagentlenian
making a call take care of his hat with
out your assistance. : He can either leave
it in the hall or carry it into the parlor.''
The writer has omitted one thing here.
Besides being allowed to take care of h:a
hat the gentleman should not be asked
where , he got it, Louisville Courier
