THURSDAY, - - - - MAR. 9, 1893 Many people wonder why a'man like Mr. Thurber should accept a position as private secretary of the president. He was one of the. ablest and most promi nent lawyers of Detroit, and his income was fully five to six times greater than will be his salary. Recently Mr. Thur ber was asked to explain his acceptance. Without a moment's hesitancy he re plied that he would rather leave a record for, his children that he was called upon to accept this office by President Cleveland, and that "he had -discharged his duties faithfully, than to leave them a great fortune. This is in deed a lofty sentiment from one who occupies a position which is too often not regarded of much importance. But what is the real responsibility of a pri vate secretary? In short, there is no man nearer to the president than he. There is no cabinet member that will be so often called upon 'to lend advice, and no friend that will know so much about the motives of the president in taking this and that step which may concern the whole nation. By compari son it might be stated that the private secretary of Chancellor Bismarck is commonly credited with having drawn up. the imperial German constitution. The president has not half the time to personally prosider most important phases of different grave issues, and to a. large degree this is left to his private secretary. Mr. Thurber, though the name of his position may not be high sounding, occupies a place equal to any other in personal responsibility to his chief under the lew administration. Telegram. While at intervals a religious question arises in one or another of the Protestant churches which threatens to disropt the church, the Catholics are at times agi tated as violently. A question has just come up in New York which affects one of the oldest customs of the church, and which will be a great present trouble or if not remedied, a continued annoyance. It is in relation to celibacy of the priest hood. In some quarters of the globe the priests are permitted to marry, and with their emigration to America they come in conflict at once with the senti ment of the church. With the arrival of the first married priest in America came trouble, and shortly afterward the bishops within that diocese urged the propaganda to do something that would prevent the complication which would inevitably arise, but without sufficient success to induce them to take any ac tion in the matter. The bishops will now turn to Moneignore Satolli and try to induce him to sustain the custom of the church, even to the extent of dis missing the married priests. As their numbers are not few in the Oriental part of the world, who if dismissed, could and would do a great deal of dam age to the church', it follows that trouble is in store for the Catholics. Mr. Cleveland does not propose to be hurried in the matter of making appoint ments, and whatever significance may be gathered from other utterances, it is shown that he is at least decided on this proposition. The office-seekers now at Washington are in fear and trembling, and the majority dare not approach his democratic highness. The great army of them, with their importunities, can not help but be a great bore, but it would be as well for the lesser ones to wait a little while, and give Mr. Cleve land a chance to dispose of other more important business and in the meantime strengthen their fences as much as pos sible for it is evident that the adminis. tration is to be business throughout. Seattle marine men say that there are not now in commission near the .number of steamers and towing crafts that there were two and three veara ago. Since the advent of the railroads, which have cut into the business, down Sound steamboating has not paid as it did at one time. There was a time when probably seventv-five or eighty steamers and tow boats and sailing ves sels radiated from Seattle to various 'points. - " - Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle has taken possession of his office after court esies between him and ex-Secretary Fos ter. When he assumed charge the treasury had on hand $1,250,000 free gold, and a net balance of $25,600,000, of which $11,5000,000 is in national bank depositories, and $11,000,000 in subsid iary coin, and $500,000 in minor coins. Rheumatism Quickly Cared. Three days is a very short time in which to cure a bad case of rheumatism; but it can be done, if the proper treat ment is adopted, as will be seen by the following from James Lambert, of New Brunswick, 111 : "I was badly afflicted with rheumatism in the hips and legs, when I bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. ' It cured me in three days. I am all right today ; and would insist on every one who is afflicted with that terrible disease to use Chamberlain's Pain Balm and get well at once." 50 cent, bottles ' for sale by Blakeley & Houghton., - A Qaeer Pair of Eyes. 1 labor under the peculiar inconven ience of having a right eye of normal power and. a shortsighted left eye. The numerals on the face of a clock five eighths of an inch high are visible to the right eye twelve - feet distant, but in order, to decern . them as clear ly with my left eye I require to bring that organ of vision as near to the figures -as eight inches. On looking at my gold chain banging on my breast in daylight and with both eyes, the chain colored yellow and toward the left is perceivl.by the right eye. while a steely bine -chain, another, yet. the same, is perceived about one inch to the right and a little higher np. By artificial light the same phenomenon presents it self, but the difference of color is ' not so apparent: the yellow to the right is only dimmer. . ; ... . .,: ,. .. , t .Again, when a page is being read with the. , shortsighted eye . there, .appears,, about, an , inch to the 'left, part of the same column, small, and the black, under artificial light, like weak purple. The right hand side of this ghostlike column is lost to the . right eye, being commingled with the larger, darker let?; ters seen by the shorteighted .left, which; cover it like the. more recent, writing on a palimpsest. Middle life was reached before the discovery was made." These experiences must be gone through with' intent, for objects generally being per ceived altogether with the right eye, all that the left seems good for is to supply a little more light. The -perception of the difference of color - is as good with the one eye as the other, and the short, sighted eye can read smaller type.. Nature. . .... . - A Good Lang Exercise. Hold head up, shoulders back and chest out; inflate the lungs slowly through the nose Until they are brimful; hold until you have counted ten, with out opening your Hp3; exhale quickly till your lungs are as nearly empty of the bad air as it is possible to get them; Repeat same exercise, trying to hold the lungs full while counting twenty. Try it again, and see if you can hold your breath half a minute.' Finish with three or four deep, long drawn inspirations. Nature. ' The Wrong; Prescription. A Connecticut woman sent her little son to the drug store for paregoric and licorice, and the youngster somewhat startled the clerk by requesting a fifteen cent pair of garters and a necklace.

NOTE CREDIT EXTRACTS From the Daily Chronicle of Feb. 18th. Of Interest to Merchants. The suit of A. 8. Collins and Mrs. A. 8. Collins against H. Herbring of this city, which was to come before the Jury yesterday morning, was again postponed; This suit against one of our oldest and- best-known dry goods merchants creates considerable comment in commercial circles. It appears that Mr. and Mrs. A. 8. Col lins obtained under false pretenses and promises at the end of the year 1891, goods to the amount of 150.80 from the defendant; but instead of pay ing the bill, as agreed, they shortly afterwards left the city by night and moved to California. Last spring Mr. Herbring learned that all their household goods, etc., were in the hands of the sheriff of Wasco county, and consequently placed a second attachment upon the goods held by the sheriff. A portion of these goods were sold last December by the sheriff of Wasco county, as no , By the above extracts from our daily .newspapers our friends and customers -will see that an. extraordinary; demand, -will shortly be made upon our purse.
