EDITORIAL XuTKH.
The Asiastic country seems to J
be the vautage ground to contend
J'or by the two leading European
nations England and Russia. Tin;
report that the Czar is to be cro.vu
t?d EinrJeror of Central Asia at
baiuarcand by the w.iy ot offset
ting Queeu Victoria's Indian title
is not unlikely' nor wouid tiie cor
onation be mere y lhe. piece ot
flummery that it at llrt appears.
It is reported that it graiiues the
Queen to be ca'ued Ivaisar i-Hind,
and to be able to sign herself '-Victoria
R. L," though it is doubtful
whether the assumption has any
more solid advantages. But there
was no actual, uivcsnture m India,
while a coronation at Samarcand,
with the pomp that Russia would
'ive to it, would without uouot lx
a clever political stroke. It would
create a deep impression of the
Russian p'-wer among the popu
lations already subject to Ivuasia,
and among the populations of tlie
UeOamOle laod whom it is St ! I i
i ; kt ...,.
more desirable to mipiesa. Aiulcr

That we as yet know but very ;
little about that wonderful, subtle
agent of nature called electricity is
acknowledged by all. Yet it is
said that ttie last twenty years have
seen more advance in the science
-of electricity than a1 1 the 6,000
historic years preceding. More is
discovered iu one day now than in
n thousand years of the middle j
ages, so that," literally, "a day is a j
thousand vears." We put it to all j
.sorts of uses. We make it carry j
mt messages, drive our engimJ
ring our door-bell, and scare the
Imrlar W7e take it as a medicine, j
a ,-i . '
light our gas, see uy u, ucai iium
ir. tnlk with it. and now we are
beginning to teacn i lu wmc.
The question naturally arises in
contemplating this subject, "What
is it?" I can imagine the last man
on the last day asking this same
question, ;What is Iff" At one
time, not long ago, it was supposed
to be a fluid; by some two fluids,
a positive and a negative. Bug in
t ds day there are few who do not
brieve it to be simply a mode of
motion ; not matter, out a condi
tion of matter; and not a mechan
ical, but a molecular motion. By
mechanical ' motion is meant a
motion of the mass, and by mole
cular uiotian is meant a motion of
the ultimate particle3 of which
the mass is made up.
General Sherman got very near
the trutn when iu a recent Ietter.lie
said: "And now I addrtss my
comrades of the Grand Army
which made these civic ceremonies
possible, as one of themselves, ""i
cla-ming any privileges by reason
ofexhaited rank and honors lur
above my desserts, it it is not bet
ter that we should devote Decor

Lane county, June otli, bound for
Florence and to have a good time.
It raineil ad that day, but we
logged along right merruv ana
camped that night at Hon. Kanson j
ilaie s, on k,i&. prairie, xsext
inoming we climbed the sunnnu, ;
which id really the best and easier j
route across the Coast range ot
mountains. Tlun we traic.eu j
down uto ieative Wild Cat, where j
there are some nice little ranches,
and those owning them appear to!
je enjoying a free and happy life, j
i'he uuiu-ni land along this stream j
is very rich and producer fruits and i
grasses to perfection. Oats also j
grow wed, out the wheat we saw ;
a as baaiv rusted. Twenty-two!
miles above the head o. tide the
Wild Cat empties into the iSuislaw
river. From there down the
mountains are mostly very steep
ana rocKV, aiiaough in some places
they slope gradually bacK id- a
iiiiie or so.
i'he land along tiie river appears
to be richer man that above. :
some of the settlers that have been
here but two years ha e from live
to twenty-iive acres of land ue.dvd
and grass and gram growing a liin
tts can be grown anywlu-iv.
The second nignt we stopped
with Jason Neeiv, eighteen mdes
trom tide. The next mondi.g ve
crossed the celebiated lucka, i
i'lymouth, Ueechei aititTiiton, and
we think Mrs. Tiilon was also
there. When we started over Sir
Beecher we found a rir log about J.';
feet long and 7 teet through stand-
ing on end in tho road, and 1 rank I

Montgomery and red Weils hara ;
iU wori- ci,0pping it out, so we I
concluded to slop. By tin' tin)e it !
j Wd 'oved 10 men were there

on examination we found one oi
the spindles bioken off at the
Shoulder. Here was a dilemma
sure. About tins time Mike
Rieord and crowd came along and
he kindly agreed to splice ieam,
stack our outfit on his wagon and
assist us to our destination. So
here we are at Wm. Netdy's enjoy
