straijira tbese Jajs. TLe seriei of
Iiaptt conventions, held by tLe five
uaticii&I associations of the church,
brouf ,ht oyer 4000 people with it.
The it nights of the Golden Eagle,
that lnevolent society which de-partf-lo-daj,
after having held their
rjintlvanuual convention here, pa
raJet the atreets, was reviewed hy
the president, visited Mouut Ver
noD, etc., brought 4000 representa
tives. The lawyers convention, now
in piinJtkiiJW'Jr iMMLtriicted
aTbrifJant array of legal talent from
the various states and territories.
The ceremonieantteiulin the lay
ing; of the corner-stone of tho Cath
olic university has brought together
a large concourse of Catholics,
among them lieing' many distin
guished clergymen. Then, there
has been a Jewish gathering here
this week, n conference of Hebrew
rabbis at the synagogue on Kighth
street; two hundred tine fire laddies
from Hudson, New Yoikr nud ex
cursions are entirely too plentiful to
attract a notice.
The Baptist brethren iu sombre
citizens attire, came to the cspitol
and mingled with the city's throng
almost unobserved exeept for their
guide lsoks and their sight-seeing
propensities. Not so with the
Knights of the tiolden Kgle, who
made their presence felt conspicu
ously. Gold brarded caps and uni
forms, and hats with long white and
purple plumes were to be seen every
where. It was 0:1 Tuesday espec
ially that the sounds of trumpet and
drum stirred the air of Pennsylvan
ia aveiiiin nil d:iy. In the morning
it was tho visiting firemen; in the
afternoon it was the Knights of the
(I olden Kigle. The Jttptist friends
were leaving and the lawyers were
coming, and while neither made
such ri popular stir with their move
ments they were none the less wel
come. ; Tho great convention city
holds out her hands iu welcome to
all, whether their advent is under
swaying banner and heralded by
martial music or whether'' they slip
. - u - - 0
in nnobst-rvoil, singly or iu groups,
from the station, gripsack in hainl.
The Cathli tlmoiistnttiou was
lirectel, by (iencrsl Uosccr.ms,
who is himself n z-ahm Cutholic.
The Washington Catholic organi
zations led th visiting organizations
in tho procession. I he next post of
honor being given to the elergy.
The procession f tler?y was led bv
the priests, followed by the bish
ops, ami thrill the archbishops, with
the cardinal in tho rr.-sr. The Lh-s-
Mii;; of the corner-stone v;n I he
first detail on tho programme, and
then followed an address by P.islioj.
Spaulding, with other exercises.
The general's arrangement was ver
complete in every detail.
It would require tho space of a
very large-sized volume to tell you
what took placo in the l:tptist con
vention, sinco it was the largest
convention ever held iu America.
The temperance question was dis
cussed among other thin?, however,
ami I will just nienti n that the na
tional capital was too attractive,
and that some of the ministers who
made speeches did uot hesitate to
Miy that fright-seeing among the
delegate interfered with the con
vention. A resolution was offered
that the next annual session nt Bos
ton 1m opened with three tours'
prayer service. Several speakers
intimated that, in their view, there
had not Wen praver service enouh
at this annual meeting One mem- j
bersuid,: ''When we cro to Boston,
I hope those who voted for this res.
olntiou will be present at the prayer
meetings and not go strolling over
the Boston commons, or visiting the
Bunker Hill monument. There has
been time enough to pray in Well
ington, but the brethren have becu
spendii.g their time going to Mount
Verne n or listening to the
tariff
speeches in congress."
The report of tho committee on
European missions indicated great
and material progress in every
branch of the work there. Another
report called attention to the lack
of workers in China. There is only
one missionary t every lo.OOO.OOO
of inhabitants iu that far land. The
report of work done in Japan show
ed the existence of 20,(M0 Protest
ant christians in Jspi", 17, .100 of
that number having leen converted
since 1S80. Four new missionaries,
who hae consecrated themselves to
a life among the heathen, were pre
sented to the meeting of the mis
sionary union.
The Jewish convention was com
posed exclusively of rabbis. The
Hebrew congregation get its law
from the talmud, and is independ
ent in it government. An impor-
tant subject of discussion at this
annual session was the possibility
of uniting the congregations as
a religious organization, with the
view of securing uniformity in many
matters where there is now diversity
ofpr actice.

Fruit Prospects in Southern Oregon.
The fruit prospects in Southern
Oregon were never better. The
tree in this vicinity are loaded with
fruit, much of which has been
knocked off so an to give the fruit a
chance to attain somo izr. l'roin
a conversation with a fruit dealer
this week we learn that there will be
ten times as much fruit raised in
this section this year as last. This
large increse i due to the ninny new
orchards that come in tint year, and
a largo number of old orchard that
did not bear last year, have been
primed up nnd nro full of fruit now.
Speculation on the prospects of
tho prices of peaches the coming
season is this: The completion of
the railroad leaves the Califotnians
a chance to send their peaches into
this market iu lietter condition than
before. If tho peach crops in the
Wood river ami The Dallcn district
are good, and there is a glut in the
Kasterii market fo. California
peaches, and the. demand for can
ning rurnoffea i juhtllo prospects
lot l; uuu i.v . o
' .
the last two principal reasons there
is hardly any danger, as the experi
ence of the last two years iu Cali
fornia goes to show that there is a
market and demand for all the
peaches that can be raised ou the
coast. Hence, taking the situation
all together, the prospects ate very
good, not only for a big yield, but
for good prices too.
The impression his prevailed here
tofore that when the pe. ch crop of
California about all gone, the
Southern Oregoii peaches would Ii9
gin to come in. This is entirely er
roneoiM, as last year's crop there
lasted as long a it did here, the
peaches of the higher nltitudes com
ing in in the hitler part of the season
thus continuing iu the market as
loii' we can. Ashland Record.

New York Herald: Leonard
Swift told an intetestiug story the
other day, illustrative of General
Grant's tradiiioiial good luck, an
well a hit lack of what U called
shrewdness in commercial dealings.
When Giant was engaged in writ
ing his memoirs the Century com
pany, which had been publishing
some of his war article in the Cent
ury Magazine, offered Lim $10,000
for the manuscript of hi" book.
Webster, tho publisher, also had hi
eye ou the alert for the forth-coming
work., and one day called on tho gen
eral to inquire about- it. Grant was
seated at hia desk, nbout to attach
bin signature to the Century com
pany's contract, which lay before
him. It had apparently never oc
curred to him to nsk more for hit
literary production. Webster inti
mated that he would liko tojnake an
offer,
If it would not Is- poi Uncut," ho
said, ''I would Jike to enquire how
much the Century company ngrees
to pay you?"
"Ten thousand dollars," (ieneral
Grunt Miid.
"Then I wouldn't sign that con
tract just yet," said Webster,
"Why not?"
"Recause I will pay yon $50,000."
General ('runt opened hi eyes in
amazement. It hud not occurred to
Tmti to net ho high a vnluo on hit
work; be had not thought of dicker
ing beyond tho first offer, but ho
did uot sign tho contract.
Afterward Mark Twain, Webster's
relative, and business partner, called
and told the general that nono of
the publisheis h id offered him what
his manuscript was worth. "I will
give you $100,000 ond a royalty,"
ho said. So Webster St Co. became
(rant's publishers; Tho firm has
grown rich out, of (imut's book, and
Grant's family has been paid over
$.100,0(10.
"And (S rant's book," said Mr.
Swift in conclusion, "will become n
classij more valuable thn.,Ha.

greatest a'dneveiuet of General

As the effect of dishorning upon
the disposition of the animals (s now
nn important question, the following
from Youatt's compilation on Rrit
Un cattle, is of interest:
"So lato as the middle of last cen
tury, tho greater part of tho Gallo
way cattle were horned they were
middle horns; but some of them
wore polled they were either rom,
nants of tho nalivo breed, or the
characteristic of the aboriginal cattlo
would be occasionally displayed, al
though many n generation had
passed.
"For more than 150 years the
surplus cattle of Galloway liad been
sent far into Fngland, and princi
pally into the counties of Norfolk
and Suffolk, The polled beasts
were always favorites with the Rn
glish farmers; they fattened as kind
ly ss the others they attained a
larger size, their flesh lost none of
its firmnesi of graiu, and they ex
hihited no Iraco of tho wildnes nor
daugerous ferocity which were some
times serious objections to the High
land breed. Theneo it happened
that, in process of time, the horned
breed decreased, and was at length
quite Huperseded by tho polled."
