Tho Egyptian troops have successful ly repulsed tho rebel attack on Gezirch. General Humphreys, of tho engineer corps, a distinguished officer of the war, is dead. Three women were drawn as jurors in Skagit county, W. T., the other day, and two served. The house of Reuben Kygor, four miles north of 'Corvallis, when unoccu pied, was burned. General Hancock is traveling about California in an informal way, having a good time among friends. Tho farmhouseof D. H. Sutton, Whit man county, W. T., was lately burned ; insured for .$550. General Grant fell when going up icy door steps in New York nnd received in juries painful but not berious. Six thousand tons of steel rails in San Francisco are to be shipped to Yaquina for the use of the 0. P. railroad. The Vulcan steel works, at Louis, will close down. The Bostsn navy yard will close and be converted into a rope fac tor'. The French are very exultant over their success in Tonquin and show a de sire to annx Tonquin to French pos sessions. Th women on the Puget Sound jury behaved very well as well as the men did which is our experience of women everywhere. Elfus and Owenby, the murderers who escaped from tho Dayton jail, have sto len horses as they went and made for Prineville. P. T. Barnum, the great showman, has made his will. He leaves ten millions of property and devotes a great deal of it to good purposes. "Wall street holds down Villard stocks lower than ever for the week past. O. K. & N. Co. that has been .$175, sold for $90, Transcontinental $30. Iron manufacturers look on the future with apprehension. They fear a reduc tion of the tariff and ruin to business. The outlook is very gloomy. The New York papers publish names of the heavy losses by Transcontinental. They are rich men who wont mind it much to lose hall a million or so. John Taylor, the Mormon president says he has no thought of abandoning their uckI, their cnurcn or polygamy, and the crowd shouted, "Amen !" A steamboat is to be built for the Cceur d'Alene mines without delay Philip Ritz thinks these mines are the greaiesi over ioutm on mis cousi. Snow has fallen at the East and the weather has been very cold in New Eng land. Storms have visited many fiarts of the country in the Atlantic Stntes. In his annual report the Chief of the Signal Bureau favors a separate office for the Pacific Coast, which has been hitherto neglected and many more sta tions established. The French lost nearly 1,000 men in tlie taking of Santay, and the Black Flags 6,000. China, acting under the advice of the great powers, has taken her troops out of the way. A riot occurred at New Foundlnnd during an Orange procession and four men were killed, shot down in the pro cession without any cause, probably by Fenian Irish. Eight more were mortally wounded. The storm of last week extended over tho whole North Pacific and was one of the severest ever known though nothing to compare with storms in other coun tries. Only small damage wa? done but it is the exception here when any dam Ago is done. Accounts are published of the great -volcanic disturbance in Alaskan seas. Ootober Cth a trreat explosion was heard by the fishermen of an Indian village, -alter wnich came names ana smoke and 4i shower of ashes five inches deep fell. A tremendous earthquake wave occur rcd, but, fortunately, at low tide. Two old volcanoes on Alaska peninsula be came active. Some Indian hunting parties were lost. Cerent damages oc f curred in the vicinity of the eruption. A. new island was formed and old land dis appeared. The Yakima Record gives the amount of grain threshed by machine on the Yakima reservation this season, as 10,770, of this there was 6,304 bushels of oats and 1,301 of barley. Besides -there was about one-fourth more oats threshed by other methods, making a -total of more than twenty thousand live Siimdred bushels. There were also raised large fields of timothy, besides potatoes and other vegetables. The In dian farms are mostly confined to the upper end of the Reservation, and are well fenced and tilled. Many of the Indians are the owners of liorw-s, -wagons, and farm machinery, and what is better, know how to use them. Such a showing as the above is a credit both to the Indians and to Gen. Milmy, the agent. The Ashland Tiding) Kay : 31r. L. M. McCall will begin this week to stake off in town lots the tract of laud adja cent to Ashland which the railroad com pany bought 'of Mr. Applegate. It con tains about 130 acre4. The depot .grounds, ride track, and wareliou loth will occupy several acres, of courso, but as to how extensive or of what character tho railroad buildings will be, wo have as yet no information." This looks liko business and when tho road is finished so as to form a complete connection with California there will bo rejoicing from these unfortunates who havo been obliged to tako tho ocean route. Then too tho road will open to easy access this most beautiful and productivo part of! the Willamette Umpqua and Roguoj ma viuiuvB, giving nn outlet to prouue tions from that more sunny land, giving us, that arc further north, the benefit of the delicious grapes and lucious peaches that grow so beautifully about Ashland and Jacksonville; then too, we can havo tho early vegetables, tomatoes, rteas. beans, etc., that used to como from Cal ifornia, not a bit benefited bv the sea trip, packed between decks of n hot ocean steamer. Now we can cet all these good things only a few hours from the picking of them. The California vegetables now are not as good, as tho same grown m our own sou thero is notthe same delicacy of flavor in the fruit The cabbage is tough and fiber- ous, wo get no close juicy heads such as our own markets afford. It has seemed of late years as if Southern Oregon had grown remote, for in the (lush times of good mining in and about Jacksonville and Thuster.there was close and frequent communication that section looked to the Willamette valley for produce of all kinds every day in these times there could be seen long pack trains of mules and horses going south loaded with pro visions needed lor the great mining pop ulation. Fortunes were made then and emigration looked favorably that way, and we are glad to see prosperity in the future for Southern Oregon. Work on the Oregon Facific Railroad, to run from Corvallis to Yaquina Bay, which has been suspended for four months, was resumed last week. Three hundred Chinese were put to work and their number will be increased as the weather improves, which will be soon, Yaquina Bay is bound to be tho fa vorite watering place in Oregon. There is a great future for that bay; there is plenty of timber, and already there have been mills long in operation which fur nish ship loads of the best lumber for the California trade. The ovster busi ness must continue to grpw; we read of depleted beds in Eastern waters, caused by disease or attacks of other sea ani mals, so that there arc threatenings of an oyster famine. It has been proved that Yaquina bay is particularly adapted to oyster farming. The writer saw fine ones raked from a bed that had been planted for experiment at one time; there had been but few put in and the matter was about forgotten, when some lucky fellow happened to discover them. When it was investigated the fact of planting was recalled to memory 1 result proving highly satisfactory. Mi old settlers remember when years Mr. Crellin, a man of but little mfl but lots of energy, started in at Shbal water Bay, in Washington Territory, to raise oysters. He commenced in a small way, and gradually extended operations till he had sloops running regularly to San Francisco loaded with this shell fish. A town called Oysterville grew up entirely through this industry. The gentleman made money enough to retire on and lives now in Oakland on the" money trade in a few years at thi-1 busi ness. Here then is a similar opening lor more than one, with a certain steady market, with easy and closo communica tion. Tho dearth of oysters in the East gives another favorable aspect to such an enterprize. Cranberries too are a profitable crop and would do well on these tide land. ' Making a Barrel Around a Bunghole Mr. Mark L. Deering, mechanical en gineer, of this city, has recently taken out a patent for a barrel without staves or hoops, all in one piece. The material he uses to make this beamless barrel is wood pulp. A certain amount of pulp is placed in an iron cylinder, the inside of which is shaped exactly liko a barrel. This cylinder is made to revolve by an ingenious arrangement both ways ; that is, the ordinary way that a barrel would revolve, and revolve at the same time head over head at right angles, at about 100 revolutions a minute. The centri fugal force of this double revolution throws the pulp equally in every direc tion, spreading it, so to tpeak, equally all over the inside suriace of the cylin der. After being revolved in this man der for three or four minutes air is then pumped through the bung (which in made tight around the pipe conveying the air) till a pressure of 100 pounds to the inch is obtained. This is done with out a elation of the movement of the revolving cylinder. The pressure of this air squeezes, all the water in the pulp through the brass lining of the cylinder which is perforated with mi nute holes, and is carried away in the grooves of the iron cylinder. After be ing revolved for three minutes under this pressure, the two halves of the cyl inder are opened and a perfectly shaped barrel is taken out, all complete with heads in, which is laid, aside for twenty four hours for the purpose of being ma soned, when it is then placed in a dry ing room, heated by steam to 1C0 degrees of heat, and kept there for about three days, when it is taken out all finished for the market.

Wilkes county is in great excitement over tho dis covery of a largo quantity of Confederate treasure, about which so much has been said and written. During a storm this week a small oak tree was blown down, about nino miles front Washington. John Frank, whilo riding by, saw some thing shining, nnd examined tho roots of tho tree. In tho nolo left by tho tree he found almost a peck of gold and a largo quantity of jewels and precious stones. Among tho latter weio diamonds, rubies and pearls, nnd many pieces of exquisite workmanship, tho value of which has been placed by several connoisseurs at 20,000. Tho belief is expressed by all who has seen the treasure that it is a part of a lot lost by tho Confederate cab inet during its flight through this sec tion, as tho road upon which this treasure was found was tho same on which the Confedoratos retreated. The quantity of jewels and precious stones suggests that it must havo been the contents of the mysterious jewelry box entrusted to Mrs. Moss and taken from her shortly afterward by a stranger, while retreating through the country, President Davis and his cabinet, together with a number of distinguished Confed erates, stopped at the residence of Mrs. Moss, where it is believed the last coun cil of the Confederacy was held. When the meeting was over Governor Breck enridge called in Mrs. Moss, and handing her a box of quaint dovice, told her it was of great value, as it containod rare jewelry, which had been pawned by ladies of the Confederacy for the benefit of the cause, and desired her to secrete it until some one with proper authority should claim it. When the party re sumed its retreat Mrs. Moss examined the contents and was dazzled with the biilliancc which met her gaxe. For several weeks she kept her trust a Erofound secret, and guarded it from undreds of men who were searching the country for tho remains of the Con federate train. One night a horseman rode up to her residence. Alighting he called Mrs. Moss aside, and in whispered words told her that he was the accredited agent for the person who had left the jewelery box in her possession. Com pletely deceived by the man's assuranco and appearance, of honesty, she placed the box in his hands, to seo him disap pear in the darkness, and to realize next day that sho had bceen cruelly imposed upon. She died a month later. The fact that the jewels just found corresponds so well that the contents of tho myster ious box londs color to 'the supposition thaLthey arc the same. Blasting Stumps. Old man Hallett, tho pioneer railroad builder, who is possessed of volumes of practical sense, tells tho people how to get away with tho stumps on timber lands in western Oregon. AVriting to the Independent, from his Dilly farm, Mr. Hallett says ; Yours ot the 17th re ceived. In reply will say that the way to blast stumps with giant and Judson powder is to take a crowbar and make a small hole, jut large enough to ndmit your hand, near the bottom and center of the stump. Tho amount of powber required to throw the stump out depends upon the character of tho ground, whether hard or soft: if hard, about one- half the powdei will be required that it would take for soft. I am blasting ash stumps that average about two feet across. I make one cas,e of Judson powder and nino sticks of giant blast out nine stumps. That makes the cost of each stump about fifty cents, when any man knows that he cannot take them out with a grubbing hoe for less than two to five dollars each. In load ing tho hole, first put in about one-half the amount of Judson that you intend to use, then put in tho stick of giant powder, with fuse and cap attached, and then the balance of the Judson. This will leave the giant in the middle and make a sure shot. Then fill up the hole with dirt. Be very caroful to put the fuse to the bottom of the cap, if not it will sometimes fail to explode. The only danger in handling giant powder is in thawing it out, and if not thawed until soft it is not liable to explode. Put the giant powder in a manure pile and it will thaw out nicely with no danger. I thjnk a man can work for one dallar per. day and get money to buy powder, and then clear his land for one fifth what it will cost him with a grub bing hoe. A shrewd writer says: Dull times are saving times. There is never more money in the community than when men are keeping it; there is never less than when men are spending it. The margin of cxienditnre is never wider than when low prices reduce fixed charges. Fortunes, big and little, are made, not in the booms, but in the ebbs. The man who buys on the flood is stran ded somo days ; the man who inverts on the ebb b floated to fortune. Any man can tell goods in flush years; tho man who sells them in lean years ends a millionaire. It is not when we make, but when we Mve that makes us rich. Thobe who make money in farming arc those who hae the gicatcst faith in tho farm. A thousand dollars invested in improving a good farm will return better intereet than the same investment in the saving bank. (tftrMrriei tiai.

They have recently received a supply of toilet goods, lino cases, cut glass Iwttles, and perfumer' that is not excelled in tho Stnto.

Tho following are the requito quali ties of n good potnto : When out into tho color should be yellowish white; if it is n deep yellow it will not cook well. Thero must be n considerable amount ofmoisturo, though not enough to collect in drops and fall off, even with moderate pressure. Bub the two pieces together, and if it is trood v lute froth will appear around tho edge nnd also upon the two surfaces alter they are sepernted. This signifies the presence of a proper quan tity of starch. The more froth tho be tter tho potato, while the less there is the poorer it will cook. The quantity of the starchy element may also be judged by the more or less ready adherence of tho two parts. If the adherence is sufficient for one piece to hold the other up tho fact is evidence of a good article. These are the experiments usually made by ex perts when buying potatoes, and are the best tests that can be given short of boil ing ; but even they aro by no means in fallible. Seedtime and Harvest. It is this prepared earth that receives us at burth, and sustains us. It is the earth alone, of alll the elements around ns, that is never found to be an enemy of man. Waters deluge her with rains, oppress him with hail, drown him with inundations. The air rushes in storms, and prepares the tempest, but the earth, indulgent and subservient to our wants, spreads our walks with flowers, and our table with plenty. Rctumes with interest tho seed committed to her care, and though sho produces the poison, sho supplies the antidote. Though constantly drained to furnMi the luxuries, ns well as the substantial of life, yet oven to tho last she continue her indulgence, and when life ends, she piously covers our remains protecting from intrusion or harm. Pliny. I know that Mr. would like to have a new and reliablo timepiece and 1 can afford to buy a good one (a poor one is worth nothing) and I can get one of Mr. F. D. McDowell, of Salem, who sells none but those that ho can personally recommend as good and reliable. k A favorite antidote for rattlesnak poi pon in Mexico is, says Dr. Croft in Chemical News, a strong solution of iodine in potassium iodide. Tho author has tested some of the poison itself with this solution, and finds that a light brown nmorphus precipitate is formed, .the insolubility of which explains the beneficial action of tho antidote. When iodino cannot bo readily obtained a solu tion 'of potassium iodide, to which a fow drops of ferric chloride has been added, can perhaps bo used as an antidote to snake poison; it is a very convenient tost for alkaloids. Half of the available energy of life is lost in finding out what one is fit for, nnd wbat work ho is best calculated to perform. There is a niche for every on, where ho may develope his energy and individuality. The trouble with most leaders in dealing with th people is a disposition to drive them into lines and battalions by wholesale, instead of find ing for each person his natural place. No two men ean think, feel or act ex actly alike. The greatest surcoss is com monly secured where the individual finds employment congenial to his taste and stimulating to his ambition. Pleas ant and profitiblo occupation of one's poweis is the acme of human happiness .- i ..a-, i i . If you arc wanting a nico and durable Christmas present for a young lady, and one that will please her ery much, go to F. D. McDowell's nnd get a pair of Bracelets, or a Necklace, if that is not suitable try a Finger Iting. He has the largest assortment in the city. TUTTS PILLS TORPID BOWELS.
