OREGON AND ITS FROSPOTS.
Wo proposo to say a few words regarding
tho Inducement held out by tho Statu of
Oregon lo people in general who aro In search
or homos, and shall bo studiously careful to
refrain from exaggeration, so as not to ml
load tho unstispootlng.
Flret, as to climate. In Wet tern Oregon,
which comprehends the valleys of tho Wil
lamette, Umpquaitud Itoguo HUor, Is mild
and equable, na may be Hen by rtfertince to
tho observations ntndo nt tho United Bute
Signal Sorvleo office, which, In Spring, is put
down nt 52 dega,, in istitnmor G7, in Autumn
fi'J, timl lu Winter 39, Fahrenholt. Tho ther
mometer Beldotn rlacsHbovoD'Jdi'gs. In Sum
mer, and rarely falls below 20 In Wlntor, so
that out-door labor mey bo performed nt all
seasons ot tho year. It may with propriety
bo mid that in Oregon thero aro but two Boa
eons, tho wot aud tho dry. Tho rainy kirhoii
usually begins about tho mlddlo of Novom
ber, and lasts until early In May, with Inter
missions of lino weathor for days, oven for
weeks. Thoso rains, although dleagrroablo,
aro a blessing, slnco they Inauro abundant
crops and plentiful natural pisturago. Such
a thing as a failure of crops in Oregon from
drout has novor been heard of, whllo in
California it Is of oommoaocaurionce. Ao
oordiug to tho records kept by tho United
States Signal Sorvleo oflloo during tbo last
twolve years, tbo averago yoar lu Oregon ia
ooniposod of two hundred and thlrty-thno
ralnlos, a hundred and twenty-two rainy,
and ten snowy days. In Mlddlo aud Kastern
Oregon there ia loss rain in Winter, hut it
Is much ooldor, and In Summor It Is dryor.
As health is, or should bo, tho tint consid
eration with all peoplo Boeklng a now coun
try to locate In, wo vflll. sU'.o upon the au
thority of tho Stale Doud of Immigration,
that tho cllmato of Western Orogon is unu
sually cotiduotvo to health, tho air being
peculiarly pifj ail mill. yi. braolng.
Tho Coast Ilango affords protection from the
ocean galet, whllo tho Ciuoado Mountains
kcopoutoold wind and Mtiow storms from
tho north and east to a groit oxtent. Tho
exemption from sharp winds and vlolont
ehangos of tomporature, thus securod, ron
dors tho Inhabitants far less llablo to throat
and lung troublos, rhouniatlsin and Inflam
matory dlsoascH gonontlly. Wostorn Oregon
Is not ontlrely oxompt from fevers, but tboy
aro of a milder typo, and yield readily lo
treatniont. A roaldunt physlulan for twenty
years says: "For our cxemptlon.from mala,
rial disorders wo aro Indebtod to our north
ern latitude, to tho dally no broezt), to our
cool, bracing nights, and to thn modiuut
tomporaturo of our warmont days."
Tho soil of Orogon, for fertility, Is unsur
pnssod by any Statu in tbo Union. At tho
Contennial Exhibition In Philadelphia, tho
Stato was distinguished by moro awards for
the cxcollonoo and variety of Its products
than comparatively any otbor Utato. What
ovur seed Is put Into tho ground and cultiva
ted, Isburo to return n rloh roward. Thero
rover yet havo been any failures. This In a
moat Important counldoiatlon no drcuis,
no blighting winds, no grasshoppers, no any
thing elso to destroy tho fruits of the hus
bandman's Industry. Good lauda can bo
cheaply acquired, and held undor stmplo
and Hecuro tltlos. Unliko In our ftlster Hiato
of California, tho lands aro not monopolized
In enormous tracts by few owners, with ho
Moxicanor Spanish grants to rondor titles
Insocuro, Lauds can bo had uf tho Orogon
and California Itallroad Company, at low
prlcos, and on favorable torms, and an
abundanco of government land can bo bad
undor tho homestead law.
For limber and wator Oregon is unnur

vere tho Stato hi evory direction. Hprlngs
alho aro to bo lound In great numbers. Im
mense forests of hard and soil timber are lo
bo found In ovory part of the State, which
supplies thu markets ot California, South
America, Australia, Japan and China with
lumber. In the valleys aro to be found dlf.
foront varieties of ash, oak, maple, balm and
alder, as well as fir, cedar, spruce, plno ami
yow. In tbe foothills Muttering oiks and
ilrs, with a thick nocond growth aro found,
The mouutalns aro mostly covored with tall
11 r, pine, spruce, hemlock, oodxr, lurch, aud
laurel. Two kinds of codar, threo of fir and
throo of plno aro indigenous to Orogon.
Trees hero attain to an onormous height aud
great stralghtness, firs measuring from one
to two hundred and fifty foot in holghl, with
trunks measuring nice foot in dlamoter, and
olear 'of brauohes for one hundred to one
ono buudrod and fifty feet.
In mlnorals Oregon U extremely rlnh, but
for tho want nf capital imperfectly deytl
oped. Gold, nilver, iron, copper, coal and
many other minerals exist lu great abund
ance. Iron oro Is plentiful' and from tests
huK pruvod of superior quality.
For tbo raising of livestock no country
oan excel Oregon. Tho natural grasses are
of a Hue quality, uud retain their f.ittonlng
qualities until Uto lu tho reason, Tho wild
pea ttlno grows In great abundanes. Innou'.h

Some Matrimonial Wrecks.
Tho week
Jms brought forth nn ox
numher of mntrlmonliil
trnordlnnry
comnlictitionH, and must loud to tho
grave reflection that nuptial things uro
not nlwahs what thoy seem. Tho Con
necticut woninn with ecven hushamls,
nearly all of them now on earth, has
reasonably good company In the person
of a Now Jersey woman who has three,
only two-thirds of whom, however, are
still in existence. Tho encouraging
fea I tiro of this last enso Is that tho wo
man has apparently not f.iirly eulerod
upon her career of hnslmiid-gathei'lng.
Doing still yonng, and having boon
thrice led to the attar as a bhislilt.g
maiden. hIio hones and believes thai
the start which she has got will unable
her to compete with any known wo
man in tho matter of husbands, aud if
she makes no seriously fale step the
promise of hor young life will doubt
less bo realized, In spiti of tho frowns
of those women for whom thero aro no
husbands toft. Ono of tho most inter
esting features of tho weok, too. is tho
flight of n Brooklyn man, who ran
away under the niimo of Marfleot, and
established a precedent which it will
bo perfectly safe for any husband, who
thinks he has as much inatrliriony ns
ho wants, to follow. It was n simple
act of kindness In leaving his wife ton
thousand dollars, with the hope that
"sho wouldn't bother him any moro,"
anil she, liko a sonsiblo womnn, has
caused it to bo understood that she
wouldn't.nUhoughshomlghthavodono
so had ho been less thoughtful. Ten
thousand dollars is not very much
money, but thero are, no doubt, many
wives quito willing to bo deserted Tor a
far smaller sum.
Hut Connecticut, that sober old Stato
which Is furnishing somewhat moro
than its fair share of matrimonial sen
sations, turns out it e.ts.e that for real
devotion and pathetic ingenuity excels
anything over heard of on thlssldn of
tho globe. A Now Haven young lady
some timo ago became well enough ac
quainted with a changeable young man
named ltoo to run away with him. -Things
went on well enough until ho
got pretty well ucquiiliituu with her,
when ho runaway without her; then for
u uhango ho came back and lived with
her again for some time, after which he
ruddonly changed his mind a id mado
tho hold announcement that ho had
nover been murrlid aud never expected
to be to her. Under such circumstances
us these tho ordinary woman would
havo been mad, but Connecticut never
produced an ordinary woman, so far as
heard from, and Airs, ltoo was not oven
an ordinary ono of tho Connecticut
klutl. She wasof a hopeful disposition,
and hor beatltlo lovo lor tho eccentric
ltoo was the mainspring of her life.
8ho didn't go to a nunnery; hIio simply
wont to court and sought to establish
her claim to ltoo as a husband, scorning
to follow tho example hot by home tther
Connecticut women, aud seek ono or
moro husbandssomewliero else. When
slut had tiled her claim, and had been
informed that (too was about to marry
another glri, slio sat down and poured
out her unrequited lovo in rhme, and
ltoo must havo been a small copy of tho
Htono man packed in Ice to resist this
pathos. Thu sweet singer of Connecti
cut writes:
Talk about your picnics and nay 'What lots
or fun,"
Whllo I talk of my JCiMy and how niter him
I run;
I toll you he' worth having, Is such a man
as KJ,
Who dantod a nnllor'n hnrnplpo when ho
heard his wife Mas dead.
This beautiful poem is unfortunately
too numerous to give in full at this timo
of tho year when holiday business
crowds our columns. Tho explanation
of tho last lino Is very Minnie. Airs.
ltoo had caused anotlcoof her death to
be printed in tho village iiopupcr.i,
and tho happy ltoo seeing tho notice
returned with Joy to tho town, where
lie was taken possession of by tho police
according to programme. A trial en
sued, when thu deserted lady, ils shu
records In Iter phlutlvo verso, under
took a compromise:
I turned to lMdv then, and said, "A com
promise I'll umke:
If you'll give mo tialf your monoy, I'll let
you marry ICate,"
Hut Eddy could not bo drawn into
any such arrangement. Ho wont
through tho trl.il, presenting tho front
of a liolt, bad man, saved his money
and married Kate, who, It is presumed,
does not write poetry. There is appar
ently no moral in this simple story, but
it touches a very Important lesson to
ovory young woman contemplating
matrimony and the idea that there
aro any young women not contemplat
ing matrimony is absurd bo sure you
aro married beloro you begin to write

Tbe Market for Canned floof.
Up to tho present time, all tho cattlo
that have been shipped from this coun
try to England havo been heavy, choice
steers; but oven whl'o this has been
sending a largo amount of beef, taken
from tho lower grades of our cattlo, to
thu same foreign markets that wo havo
been supplying with ourchoico cattlo.
Wo refer to tho canned hoof that has
been shipped fniu dilfiirunt portions of
tho United .States to Europe within tho
past two or three years. It seems that
this canned beef has now becomu llrmly
established as an article of foreign com
merce. Wo learn, upon good authority,
that an agent of thu Uunsiau govern
ment has lately ollured to tako ovory
pound of canned beef that one of tho
largest canning establishments in Chi
cago could possibly furnish for a term
of years. Tho oiler, however, wu de
clined, for the reason that tno guneial
market Is good enough f - this kind of
meat, so that it Is no object for tho par
ties to onter into any such contract.
Thla canned beef tradu is yet In its In
fancy; but there is no doubt that thu
busineM is to cut nt important a tlguro
in tbe mutter of helpline to utaorb our
cattlo supply as tho shipment of beef on
tho boor and in tho carcass. Drover

Varieties of Wheat.
In alluding lo somo or tho nowor of
tho varieties of tlio market, tho Ger
mnntown Telwuph gives tho followlng
sonMljto advice: "So far as retaining
ts orlglna elmraoterMlcs, tho Medi
terranean has been mo-t remarkable,
as 'n many sections of tho country it li
as good and produotivo to-ilny as It was
hlrly or forty years ago. It teems to
be hardier ban others-or rather It hot
ter resists heat aud colli, and tho nu
merous destructive Insects and blights
to which tho crop Is subjected. It is
wis;.: however, to experiment to a
small extent with all lecommondetl
new varieties and hold fast lo thoso
which take most kindly to our soil, otc.

Tho Booth Family.
Tho fact that gonitis and misfortune
aro generally linked togethor has oftoa
l."on noticed, and Edwin Jiooth Is no
exception. Tho assassination of Lin
coln by his brother cost him tno suspen
sion of his profession for an uut lie year.
Then his grand theatre proved a fail
ure, and its collapse so affected his
mind that symptoms of Insanity appear
ed. After these had been removed by
careful treatment ho was Injured by 11
runaway team at Ills residence (Cos
Coo); but a greater blow than all others
was tho death of a lovely daughter, on
whom his affections wero deeply con
centrated. Huch havo bcon the adver
sities of tho tlnost player In tho world,
beforo ho lias readied forty-throe,
iloolh never visits tho theatre that
bears hiH uamo. Ho Is seldom been in
public, but occasionally one may see u
pale-faced and thoughtful-looking man
pacing Uroadway as in a reverie, with
something indescribably striking in
his couutunaiico aud demeanor, and
then somo bystander will touch his
frlond and whisper, "There goes KU
win Booth."
Junius Hrutus Booth (tho father)
died twenty-live years ago. Ho is re
membered by thu writer of this ns a
short thick-sut man, with it broken nose,
nntl yut ho was a very impressive tra
gedian, intemperance, however, de
stroyed ids chanco for pro-omlnenco,
and his best playing was douu in thu
cheap theatres. His oldost son Is Juni
us Hrutus, who is rich and lives In Bos
ton; tho next is Dr. Booth uf Charles
ton. Thoncamu Kdwln, followed by a
beautiful sistor, who married John 8.
Clarke, tho popular Philadelphia com
edian. Tho youngest was tho most
beautiful of tho family, aud will llvo
in history as the assassin of Lincoln.
His death is tho only break In this re
markable family, it may bo added,
that the older Booth's nose was broken,
in a stago light. Ho was playing Hich
am 111., ..nil being intliimeii with
strong drink, was so murderous that
the battle became a reality, aud his op
