B retire Hadaen's Kail far the Beward Of- ftrrd for the Raimr Mnrdere r A case of some , Interest is in progress of trial in tho Stato Circuit Court, beforo a jury. Shortly after the murder .of Mrs. Barbara Hagar, tho officials of Clackamas county effered a reword for the arrest aud conviction of the murderers, aud in a few dsys following a young man named King was Arrested by Dotootlvo Hudson of this city as being ono of die panics commuting tno Horn bio murder. The"arrcst of King was followed by tho cap ture of tho young men llcrnard ami Falrchilil as accomplices of King, and all thrco were duly Indicted by the Oratid Jury. King was found guilty of munlcr in tho second degreo and sentenced to imprisonment in tho peni tentiary for life Tho other two were more fortunate, tho jury not agreeing, and they were eventually discharged from cuitody. On tho conviction of King Dotective Hudson presented his claim for the reward offered by vncvuuiitjr, out wo money was reiuaed mm, various excuses being mado. Dctcctivo Hud son, feeling that ho had honestly earned tho reward, and seeing no other way to obtain it, commenced suit to recover tho same, Messrs. Hall ft Gregory appearing on his behalf in court, whilo Clackamas county is represented bv District Atrorncy Caples, his assistant, M. F. Mltlkev. and M. C. Athev. Dcnutv Prose. cuting Attorney, of Clackamas county. Dur ins tho nrom-CM of the trial tho ilefitnun n dcavorcd to forco tho plaintiff to provo tho muruer oi Airs, iiagar ny King, and tno argu ment nn tho qucntlon resulted in tho presenta tion of some knotty law points, ending with A 'decision from the court' iu faor of the plaintiff. At tho conclusion of tho testimony on tho part of the plaintiff, tho defense asked lor a non-suit ol: tho. case, which was over ruled. Tho attorneys for Detective Hudson are stubbornly contesting every point mado ov tno defense, it la claimed that Hudson is not entitled to the reward, as he did not de toct King's complicity, in the "crime. There arc several claimants to tho reward, Mrs. Itigloy, who claim to have given tho informa tion leading to (he arrest of King, and others thinking they are entitled to it. The case will bo continued to-day,' and will probably reach tho jury this evening. .AN OLl REPROBATE. Hllr Year Old Libertine Arrrsleit ('mnaUllns! n Heinous Crime for Peter Schmcar, a farmer residing in this county beyond Host Portland, about GO years of ge, and old enough to be making hit will and providing for his funeral oxpensos instead of cndca'oiiig to gratify his amorous pas sions, was yesterday arrested by Constablo Simmons at Vurwig's saloon, on Front street near Main, on tho serious cliargo of assaulting a woman with Intent to commit rape. Tho partlcu'ars loading to tho arrest of the hoary headed libcrtino aro stated to bo as follows i On tho afternoon of Wednesday last, Schmear came to the house of Thomas ,Ur1ow, who livos in tho same vicinity, and finding him away from homo, forced u entrance into tho houc, and selling Mrs. Ellen Uglow, tho wifo of Mr, Uglow, a woman about ft! years of age, throw her upon. tho bed and attempted to out rage her person, she being' nt the timo in a very, delicate stato" of health, The woman was successful in preventing-tho lecherous scoundrel accomplishing his design until tho arrival of her husband, who, hearing tho cries of his wifo, hurried to the house a low mo menta after Schmcar mado his appearanco. Uglow seeing In an instant what the man had endeavored to do, grasped an axo and intended to brain him where ho stood, but tho horror of committing a munlcr, although in a rightoous cause, prevented bis carrying bis design into execution. Schmear begged hard to be let off and hush tho matter up, offering Uglow- a tract of land owned by iiim wortli 9-'l,000, and (800 in coin. The offer was in dignantly rejectod,-and the husband started off to procure the arrest of the man. Schmear left tho house, and instead of going home, has secreted himself until arrested yesterday aud lodged in jail. Constablo Simmons ha been watch ne at the homo of Schmear. nkht and day Waiting for him to put in an appearance, and nn.Wednesiiay night laid out in the Oman untilday light hoping to catch his mau. 'Yes terday be came to the city, and was about re turning to keep his watch, when he recognized Schmcar at Varwig'a saloon, arrested him and brought hit prisoner liefore Justlco Davis, who committed him to Jail in dofault of $3,000 ball. Mrs. Uglow is now lying very ill from the effect of tho assault committed on her. and should alio sutllciontly recover to-day, tho preliminary examination oi nenmear win iako place tliis afternoon beforo Justice Davis.

UlTIU 1st another feather for Orefou'i ap, opmmfM, saca niogium ao, iroai , --t - tiiiVrid: l - s ' y Tn Future or Canada. We may safely ossert that tho tendency of Canada is to depart from Knglish domination. This Is true, in spitoof Vcaconsficld'a oulogics of tho Dominion at tho expenso of tho United States. s Tho Knglish liberals havo a mora rcallring sense of tho truo attitudo of the colonies' toward the mother countryj for their dictum would bind these satalitos to Kngland, as Lord Granville Bays, "by a silken cord, and not by an iron chain." Lord Derby, their latest acquisition, recently sold that "Canada nnd Australia must soon becomo separate na tions.,' Tho lato under secretary of Stato for tho colonics, Lord Dlatchford, predict that "as tho colonics dovclop they must either becomo scparato nations or they must Jiavo n share in tho government of tho British confederacy" on altcruativo which ho bo Iiovcs to bo highly visionary. Indeed, the very threat of tho ministerial press In Can ada, when tho new tariff was enacted, show that tho Dominion would rather protect itself even against England, than to havo tho empty honor of being a British colony, "socially recognized" by tho Imperial government. Tho Lcttclllor affair, also, shows that loyalty in tho concrete is still a beto noir to tho Can adian, if it mean full submission to tho homo authorities. Tho tendency of Canada bolng thus evident, and tho question of her Independence having been virtually settled in 1876, by tho decision that no appeal should lie from her supremo court to tho Kntriish court, wo may dismiss all attempt to im pcrialize w ith n mere passing mention. Karl Grey favor a quasi-govenment for tho colo nies by a committee of tho privy council but lie threatens them with a total separation in cose they act too Independently, a most dangerous treatment with a peopio who havo already tasted tho fruits of colonial liberty. Still less is there the possibility that Canada wilt becomo n' part of an imperial federation, with her representatives in tho Ilritish Par liament, and with tho right of her citizens to be recognized ns citizens of any other Imperial colony. Tho prcctso naturo of tho changes that aro coming it is not ours to suggest or oven prophesy. It is safo to assumo that tho Canadians are abundantly ablo to tako caro of themselves when tho occasion shall be given. Left to themselves, they must natur ally drift toward a government more demo cratio in it constitution and mora 'popular in it execution than any they havo yet enjoyed. But -this natural drifting democracy. ward does not by any means argue that they w ill finally tie up alongtido tho United States. That is a question to decided in tho future. It cannot bo decided now. In tho mean timo tho American peopio will watch coming event across the border with a kindly interest. Tho Canadian peopio have already accomplished wonders, in spito of continual drawbacks; and the future will show- their capabilities in a larger-field, Atlantic. Ensilage Adrte of Francis Morris. This gentleman was tho first in this country, wo beliove, to undertake tho preservation of corn fodder in silos. We observe tho follow ing letter from lrim on tho aubjoct In tho Maryland Farmer for Julyi "I mado uso of Indian corn as winter food for stock as long ago a tho winter of 1870, and I havo used it In each succeeding winter with great success. Tho earlier it is sown tho better; its growth is mora rapid and luxuri ant in May nnd Juno than in July and August a bushel of corn to tho aero In 'drills 12 to 15 inches apart. Tho crop should bo cut by n mowing machine, carried from the field In wagons to the feed cutter, cut up in piece of about three-quarters of an inch, and put into tho silo prepared for it. The building of tho silo is thoroughly explained in T. B. Brown's work on ensilage, but any ono who will make a trench 10 feet wide and 0 feet deep, and cover it w ith earth 18 inches deep, after tho cut-up inairo is put into tho trench, then keep tho earth carefully pressed upon the maize, to as to exclude tho air, will accomplish what is required. Tho trench should havo n shed over it, or a shed thatched with straw. Water should bo kept from the cut-up maizo, as it would doubtless injure its quality, if not destroy it, Maizo or Indian com require front forty fivo to sixty days to ripen it Into tassel, and therefore it can Iw safely sown up to tho 15th of July. If tho land Is i in good condition it will yield twenty tons to tho acre; it requires n ton a month for each cow, and nil animals will improve aud do well upon it. By tho uo of superphosphate the crop can be doubled, but this is a matter subject to the will of tho farmer. Ten acres of maizo will feed thirty cows during tho season that they cannot feed out of doors, and will furnish a quantity of manure to give a wheat or corn crop. The advantage of this crop is so great that it must change tho agriculture of every corn-growing country, Cattle, and sheep will bo raised on every farm to an extent hereto fore not thought of . Wheat, to-day, by all our best fanners, is followed by clover, the clo cr is cut and made into hay, and this is fed to the stock. Maize will take the place of clover liay, and the clover will lie grazed off the land, and the ammals will return it to tho land better prepared to act as a manure than if the clover was cut, mule into hay, carried to the barn, and then fed to the stock. The advantage of grazing clover off the land is very great, as it at once returns to it all that the clover takes from the sod. e recommend every farmer who reads these suggestions to sow an acre of land with com or maize if you have uo drill, sow it broadcast, and when in tassel use any old mow ing machine you may have to cut it down, and then if you have no' feed-cotter, boy or borrow one and cut up 'the fodder, as ordered bury it in the ground, and when Winter comes feed your stock upon it, and when you try U once you will never be without it again. I have used it for four season, every timo with complete saccess, and I know that it multiplied the value of our land three or four times over, The chines Army. As to the present military sysVcm of China, it appears tho Chinno have profited littfo by experience, so far as organization is concerned. Tffcy havo spent vast sums within tho last twenty years in establishing dockyards and arsenals on Kuropean plans, and directed by Kuropcan officers, as well as In tho Krupp nnd Armstrong guns for thoTaku fort guard ing tho river approach to Foklng, and in arms of precision for a portion of their troops. Somo war steamer they havo built for them selves, and many iron-clads of tho newest models have been purchased in England, aud armed with tho best artillery afloat. But in each case, on shore as afloat, they havo just stopped short when another step might havo mado them truly formidable, and given them an adequate return for all their outlay. They havo employed British and French naval officers to bring out tho ships purchased abroad, and instructors to train Chincso cadet and men up to a certain point. But their jealousy and disliko of foreign clement have constantly been in operation to induce tho dismissal of foreign officers More their work had been completed, or so to snWdinato and restrict their influcnco as to render it in a great degreo nugatory, and without perma nent effect. So also has it len with the land forces. Somctlmos employing tho' officers of ono nationality and sometimes of another, and often at the samo time, if not at tho sarno station, drilling under thrco or four different systems French, English, or Prussian thoy could novor bo brigaded together or worked In unison to form an army. Nor havo they ever aoitght to givo Chincso officers tho neces sary knowledge of any system of European organization drill, and information as would cnablo them to take commaitd of a regiment. 1111 Mall Oazotte. The Maxnetto Heedle. Prof. C. T. Patterson, United State Coast Survey, has been explaining "why tho mag notlo needle point to the north." There aro somo point omitted from his explanation that are important, and tend to scttlo difficulties relating to the question. It has been deter mined by experiment that magnetism Is In duced by au electrical current, and that tho magnetic axis of such. induction is perpendicu lar to the piano of electrical action. An electrical current Is in turn produced by tho action of heat under certain conditions. Sev eral reasons go to show that themagnotio con dition of the earth is duo to solar heat. First Tho magnetic ncedlo cxhibt a dally variation, evidently depending upon tho solar day only. Second The ncedlo shows a larger annual variation, caused presumably by" tho movement of the hot and cold belts conse quent upon tho inclination of tho ecliptic to tho sidereal equator. Third There is n larger variation corresponding to tho variation of a period of soven to cloven years. Tho looa tion of tho north magnetio polo at about 20 degrees west, and 00 deg. 30 see. north will probably bo found to depend upont First those solar diiturbancoa.jiroducing tun spot. Tho relatlvo grooping of mineral masses in tho earth a crust. Second Tho relative po-l sition of tho land and wator bodies. Third The occanio eurrwita. The magnetio poles would bo permanent at tho gcographio pole upon conditions, that tho ecliptio and equa torial piano coincido; that tho earth's compo sition lie absolutely uniform, nnd the arrange ment of land and water symmetrical. Mosul. Mosul, the center of the famine district in Asiatic Turkey, from which an earnest appeal for aid has just been mado to the United States, is situated In what was ancient Mesopotamia. It is of much hlstorio interest, lwing on tho right bank of tho Tigris, ISO miles from Bagdad, capital of tho great As t) rian Kmpirp, and frequently lef erred to in thu Scriptures. Nineveh is said to have been destuvyed by the united armies of tho Mode aud Babylonians, under Cyaxarc. and N1k polassar, C25 years before the Christian era. When Herodotus visited it, less than two centuries after., it was utterly demolished. Mps,ul i I tho provinco of Al-Jexirch, is stir roundod by walls, and commonly more pros perous than most Turkish' towns, in conse quence of it caravan trado with Diarbekir, Bagdad and Aleppo. Ita prosperity is noth ing, however, td what it was in tho Middlo Ages, when it supplied 'all Europe with its rich manufactures. According to Marco Polo, muslins got their name from this place, whose bazaars aro fillod with product of the West. IU diminished trade is attributable to tho rite of Abualtehr, a tea-port on the east coat of tho Persian Gulf, and the emporium of the Indian trado with Persia. Mosul is the seat of a Jacobite Patriarch, and was formerly tin metropolis of all tho Mesopotamia!! Christians; but war, oppression, famine, pestilence, Mo hammedan prosely tism, and continual anarchy havo materially reduced their numbers. The population Is estimated at from 20,000, to 40,000, of whom one-fourth may be Chris tians. An Actress- Bath Mile.

It was afterward discovered that the gas fix ture had been poorly put in, and that this wa the cans of the disaster. Mile. Laure sued the architect and won. Ik tho last number of tho Pralrio Farmer wo showed the past and probable future in- crcaso in tho population of tho United States, Tho present census cannot thow much less than :0,000,000 against 33,000,000 In 1870. This is an increase of nearly 30 per cent. But our incrcaso in wealth and production is far greater. In 1870 wo had 52,000 miles of railroad, but in 1880 wo havo 80,000 miles, equal to nn Increase of 40 per cent. Our ex ports in 1870 amounted to 9520,000,000, against $7.10,000,000 In 1870 nn incrcaso of nearly 38 per cent. Tho incrcaso in coal pro' uuction irom isou to 1878 wa over 00 per cent. Our agricultural export in 1808 amounted to $320,000,000; in 1873 to $502, 000,000 an Incrcaso of 85 tier cont. Tho cereal product of tho country in 1808 aggre gated 1,450,789,000 bushels, including Indian corn. In 1878 tho total was 2,308,000,000 Incrcaso of 08 percent. In 1805 the wheat crop was 148,500,000 bushols. In 1870 it was 440,000,000 bushols an increase in 14 years of nearly 200 per cent. From 1870 to 1878 tho cotton crop roeo from 3,000,000 to 5,310, 000 bales an incrcaso of 70 pir cont. Tho expansion of American manufactures has kept paco with tho incrcaso in agricultural produc tions. American cotttm prints aro selling in Manchester, American cultcry In Birmingham and American watches in Paris and Liverpool. It may bo startling to contemplate tho num ber of mouths that will call for food in tho near future, but in viow of tho above rato of production tho task of focding tnem should not occasion any alarm.
