R'y MINNEAPOLIS. MINN. lock WASHINGTON LETTER. From our Regular Correspondent. Washisotos, Jan.' 27th, 1888. The new broom has already begun to sweep in the international de partment where certain restrictions have . been imposed by Secretary Vilas, under Mr. Lamar and some of his predecessors, it was the custom to admit visitors to the building be tween the hours of 10 a. m. and 2 p. m., but Mr Vilas has placed the limit at 1 o'clock. He baa taken another departure bj annoonciug that in receiving callers, preference will be given to senators and members and emr7t -f Aif Heretofore it has been the rule at the pension office to excuse the clerks from duty at 3 o'clock p. m. on Saturday. Now they are re quired to work until 4 p. m., the same as do the clerks iu the other bureaux of the department. Even the minutest details of departmental work bhows evidence of the change of heads, much to the discomfiture of Uncle Sam's self-styled "slaves." At the postoffice department, things are working smoothly, aud no change iu the old order is per ceptible. Still you need not be surprised if the changes iu that brunch of the government service are more numerous iu proportion than ever before. The postoffice is the spoilsman's paradise, and Mr. Dickinson is not so inuc-Ii of a mug wump as Vilas. Dickinson and Stevenson, his first assistants, make a combination that delight the hearts of the democratic politicians. The democratic congressmen from the tobacco growing states have re. quested the removal of Statistician Dodge, of the agricultural depart ment. Their grievance ia that he overestimated the Kentucky tobacco crop last mi miner. Mr. Dodge is a republican who has held his present j position twenty-two years. ! Kx-'ustice Strong, of the United 1 Stale Supreme court, questioned! the constitutionality of the IMair educational bill, and expresses the opinion that his views are those of1 his former associates, now on the bench. This is a strong argument jnolHtle influence. As the subject of prohibition is Gne of especial interest just now. I will mention that Congressman ' Hayes, of Iowa, has placed himself on record tor the second time iu j opposition to the cause. When j diana, was in command of the 20th In circuit judge in Iowa, he decided j diana volunteer iu the battle of Clotty.. that prohibition was uncoustitu- burg. A Minnie ball cnten'd his fore, tioual, and he has this week refused ! head, almost !et wo n the eyes, and he ' tn meseiit to eonciess a netition ! I o - ; from his state praying for prohibition j in the District of Columbia. He I dling when they attempt to force I upon the District legislation in a ; matter that he calls "of merely I local concern." j That brilliant but indolent man, 1 , L. . C. Iiamar, is apparently enjoy- ' i nv t hn 'iiFAW ii i ti ft rf a 1 1 f n i ii i ii v vtun uuuui a-a uicr itiv. He is peacefully reposing upon the restful wool-sack, where his slum bers will not be disturbed by the demands of annoying departmental duties nor the incessant impor tunities of the office-seekers. The court can distribute no patronage, and as for real work, are there not eight other justices besides Lamar to do it? The president has thrown another crumb of comfort timely enough to the civil service reformer in ac cepting the "resignation" of I'nited States District Attorney Harris, who took a prominent part in the recent notorious municipal election at Jack son, Mississippi. As you remem ber, this has been the subject of congressional discussion. The of ficial in question, in quitting office, says he retires to relieve the presi dent of embarrassment. Those near the throne declare that Mr. Clove laud wus not nearly so much em barrassed as a certain young subor dinate, whose resignation was gently requested. A Wonderfully Knowing; Ot. Said Mr. Rowditch, the well known druggist, with a merry twinkle of his eye; "I've got some knowiug cats. A fellow was giving me some stiff talk alout a trained dog of his. o I told hi ui that I had a cat that could tell the different denominations of money. He didn't believe it, o I took a 11 bill and a $5 bill and unbeknown to him scented the 11 with catnip. I then laid the bills on the floor and said to the cat, 'Now, Tom, take your choice, but you are a fool if you don't take the fiver.' The cat jumped down and studied the bills and finally with bis paw poked to one side the one with catnip on it. Well, sir, that fellow hasn't recovered yet from the surprise that cat's sagacity gave him." Kennebec Journal GENERAL NEWS, The vote iu Chehalis county on the question of huilJing a county jail was defeated iu the county by a majority of eleveu. Thomas Hums, a aehool teacher recently from Oregon, has been com mitted to the Stockton insane aryluiu, because he says he hears angels singing. One of the uioet curious freaks of nature was a pair of twins horn to the wife of Doak Reed, near Oakadale last week. They were girls joined together similar to the Siamese twins, but face to face.. Their arms encircling each other's &d!bJ5$ tilCTJ1?' f were cheek to cheek. Their bodies were joined to gether, hut otherwise perfectly formed. They lived hut a few minutes, (lar field Enterprise. As an outcome of the agitation of the comity doht question, commenced by the Transcript, a number of the heavioHt tax payers of Jackson county called a meet ing last week, Ut be held at Medford, to arrange for a mass meeting of tax pay ing citizens, at which some plan f action with a view of ascertaining the exaet status of the local debt, and how best to meet and put an end to further accumu lation of unwarranted debt will m adopted. It is thought that the meeting will decide to take the case to the United States court for a decision a to the coii stutioiiality of the present debt. Tbe Daronese Durdctt-Coutts and some other philanthropic jiersoiis are about to establish work -bops in ly.ndoii furni.-hi.il with sewing-machines, where jMNr seamstresses can go and use the machines at a very low charge. The Oregon Si California railroad com pany had IKK) men to work iu the Sis kiyou mountains clearing trai k up to last Tuesday, when the fir-t trains passed over the line. II waeo jieople are trying to raise a 15,000 sulsiidy. with $11,000 already sulscribcd, for the building of a railroad along North Beach. A proposition is to build a narrow-gauge railroad from IIwa-o westward across the neck of land to North lleaeh. thence along the strip which skirts the Is'ach to Ocean park; thence in a northwesterly direction to deep water on Shoal water bay, two miles from Oysterville. Here it is intended to put a sidcwheeler steamer to run up the Wi!bqa ami Nsmc! rivers and to I .a Center, the headquarter of the oyster bltMllCS. Captain Charles J!i-ee. the present asissor of the city of pt. YVavne, In- was left for dead inx.n the field. The captain recovered, bin surgeons always feared to extract the bull. The bullet worked downward, and frequently the wound discharged through the nose. One night recently Captain lb-ese awoke with an uncomfortable feeling in Ins throat and Iiegan coughing. He coughed up the Gettysburg bullet of twenty-four years ago. It was rough and irregular and weighed 404 h grain. 'Ztjt grains over an ounce. Captain IJocse has drawn a large pension for his wound and his face is badly disfigured. At San Fraueisco la.-.t Friday, Judge Toohcy quashed the indictments found by the grand jury against Walter XeustaJt, W. . IVlchcr and Pinion Ilauiberg for swindling AUert Von Boden out of $500 by conspiring with a woman named Mary Ellis, and getting him to pay $00 for a lot which she did not owu. The'setting aside of the indictments was ordered because the stat ute of limitations prevails, the crime hav ing lieen committed in May, 188(1. more than one year ago. The charge was merely a misdemeanor. These are the same persons who swindled an Oregon farmer out of nearly $11,000 recently. Last Monday afternoon Mr. Molgan brought word to Coroner Norri that he had found KicharJ lirothertoii of New Era dead iu his led. The following morning the doctor went up to the man's place alsmt three miles alsjve New Era and held an iii'jtiest. 'I'h r examination went Ut show that he hail liecn dead sev eral diys. He was King in bed on hi back with his arms folded aud his legs crossed. Ilcside his bed wore his slock ings fixed to slip on, his slippers and kinJlmr lor the hre. Hit) house was ohti, but the Issly tare no signs of vio lence. On a hlii'lt closest hand was a Isittle nearly full of morphine. The verdii-t was "Ileath from an overdose of morphine" the same Wing unintention ally taken by deceased. He had "on aiderablc projierty, consisting of a fine f 'a nn of 1 CO acres unencumlerel, and a house and lot in Portland valued at i $8000. Enterprise. John A. Tavlor, W. T. Hinkley, R. M. Murphy, Samuel Highland, and R. B. Wright have entered into an in corporation at Centralis, W. T., with a capital stock of $1,000,000, for the pur pose of engaging in the business of lsr ing and sinking coal oil wells. The in corporation name is the Centralis Oil and Mining company. J ustice Lamar is reported as tell incr the iollowiuif story of bis experience at a political meeting in his own state soon after the war. He was one of the speakers and alluding to the civil war, suggested as a parallel caae the parable of the Prodigal Son and the joyful recep tion at his home when the naughty boy returned. He was succeeded by a negro, a republican, who after some general remarks paid his respects to Lamar's parallel. ' For giben?" said lie "Dey forgibeu dem brigadiers! Why, dey'se come wakin' into de bouse an' bang de do' an' go up to da ol' man an say fAwawr mm dat -!?' "... Gladstone is a great linguist. When James (1, Blaine was recently presented to President Carnot. of France, the services of an interpreter were required to wake conversation possible. Mr. Gladstone, however, talked French glibly to an inter viewer a few days ago, and respond ed in Italian to a demonstration in his honor at Florence. If he should go to Athens, he would chat with tbe natives in modern Greek. He could address the students of a German university in their mother tongue, or read to them from the Latin and Greek classics. Glad stone's tongue is not alone eloquent it is highly cultured. N. V. Times: The American ben has cause for grief aud shame. Tbe pig, the sheep, the cow, the horse, the field crops, and the forest products are all "protected." Uut eggs are on the free list, and the hen is an unprotected female. Nevertheless a hen has made a profit for her owner of $7 in a year's business, all unprotected ns it is, which is more than a whole sheep is worth, wool and carcass together, and ns much as manv a cow makes for her owner. M. Pasteur apts-ars to Is iu a fair way to earn the large reward offered by the government of New South Wale for a successful plan of exterminating the rabbit which ure ravaging that rgiou. He has destroyed a whole colony of rabbits iu a locality in France by inoculating one with chicken cholera microbes and turn ing it loose among it fellows. The epi demic raged and the work was com plete. The only animals liable to injury from this process are chickens, and they can be kept out of the way. It is to be learned yet whether the Australians will try this heroic but acicntifie method. It is no a very gl commentary upon the theological profession when its practice doe not keep pace with it precept. This is illustrated in the case of a .ersey City clergyman who recently lost $300,000 by the failure of a New York stock -broker. Hi had recently preached an eloquent sermon upon the 'sin of gambling." The navy of Great Ih itaiu and Ireland consists of 240 vessels and 57.250 men; of France, 302 vessel and 39,205 men; of Ittissia, 373 vessel and 28,975 men; of Germany, 91 vessels and 15,200 men; of the United Slates, 93 vessel and 12,204 men, and yet, when one studies the manners of a middy, right away after promotion, he wonders if there i any one else in the service, and who was the navy before his promotion? Subject of the queen of Canada have to rcN-ct the English flags whether or no. A citizen of Toronto found this out the other day, when he was arrested ntnl died for displaying iu front of his .tore a union jack I earing an advertisement of bargain in clothing to Isj foiin I inside. Orhoco Review: A Very radical change of temperature look plait? here last Saturday. In the morning the mercury was 15 degrees bel w aTo, and at 3 r. M. it waa 45 above. It seem to have been a change from winter to spring. , ... T Prineville News: Innumerable num. lcrs of cattle and horses were driven to the low juniper desert this week, The desert now is a veritable paradise for stock, the nieltel snow having fur nislnsl water in abundance, and the grasses being practically untouched. The Arlington hotel, at Seattle, was damaged by fire the first of the week to the amount of $30,000. Antl'Vacrlnatlou. aatsaaassaaa The success of the anti-vacciua. tionists is aptly shown by the results in Zurich, Switzerland, where, for a number of years, until 1883, a com pulsory vaccination law obtained, and small-pox was wholly prevented not a single case occurred in 1882. Tbe result was seized upon the fol lowing year by the anti-vaccination- ists, and used against the necessity for any such law, and it seems they had sufficient influence to cause its repeal. Tbe death returns for that year (1883) showed that for 1,000 deaths 2 were caused bj srnall-pex; in 1884, there war 3; in 1885, 17; and in tha first quarter of 168C, 85. THE AHEKTOBX WRECKED. Driven Ashore at Orey'i Harbor Twenty-three Men Drewae4. The British bark Abercorn, of Marysport, England, loaded with steel rails bound for Portland, was wrecked ten miles north of ' Gray's harbor bar on the 30th, at 0 a, u., and twenty-three lives were lost. On the 25th she sighted the Colum bia bar aud took on a pilot from tha tug Astoria, but was blown out to sea and in the storm and thick weather which followed the pilot lost his bearings.
