i DALL AS, SATURDAY," MAI Home matters. In another column will be foujid an interesting communication from a Visi tor, who evidently understands wliat he is talkiog about. We have from time to time given sfoort articles upon the subject of man Hifactures, showing from statistics of other cities the great advantages to be derived from home " manufactures, and the duty of every man to, as far ps pos Li- hvi.:i iwe have not. said anything concerning tthe price of town property here, yet wc have felt that property in our town was held higher than the business and sur- troundiugs -of the town would justify j .and we have felt as though the twnera .of real estate in Pallas should place that jkind of property at a lower figure. The iadvaotages of building up a town of im portance here is, wo think, apparent to all. We have as healthy a location as can be found anywhere ; we have tim ber in abundance very convenient ; and have the best of water power forfmanu facturing purposes. These advantages taken together, with the fact that the 4own is located nelr the geographical Center ofPolk, one of the best agricul tural counties of the State, with as good facilities for making a town as can be ifound in any portion of the State, pro Tided we can get railroad communica tion, render it doubly advantageous. This, mauy of our citizens have como jtacitly to the conclusion cannot be ,dooe. But we are inelined to think tbose persons have come to conclusions without proper consideration. It lies, however, with the business men of our town to say .whether Dallas continues to gnw or not; if they will push im provements ahead, build up a lucrative .trade, which can be done as well as not, we see nothing to hinder bringing a TajJroad through Dallas, whenever any .company may see fit to build the West ide road. The question of moving the .county seat, which some of our East o:j : . .agitate, is one which may eventually come before our voters; and it is well that they should consider it carefully before acting upon it. At present, wc -we see no plausible excuse for attempt iog to make it a question of any import, for certainly no considerable portion of th voters f JPolk .County would vote to have the county seat moved to any other point. It must be patent to every thinking mind, that wherever the West ;Side road crosses the La Creole will be l)uih the business towp of the county; where that town will be cannot now be conjectured with any certainty.? We .opine, however, that if the citizens of JDallas will build up and improve the .town so as to enhance the value .ojf pro perty here, we can hold out some in placements; and the county buildings l)eing already built, and of a good sub stantial character, the county could better afford to give a bonus to bring a Railroad here, than to let the present buildings go to rackand put up build ings elsewhere for county use. We jnention these matters to bring them before our citizens for their careful -consideration, feeling it to be a taatter ai importance, and one which the citi zens of JPoIk County will be required to act upoo at so far distant day. POISONED GLOVES. , Wo read lately of poisoned bread, poisoned drink, poisoned hair dyes, but how many of our readers will be sur prised to hear of poisoned gloves? The London Daily News calls attention to the fact that some gloves are dyed in .such a way as to be poisonous to the wearer. The case is given of a lady who, after wearing several pairs, no ticed "a yesicular eruption" at fhe sides and roots of the nails. Investigation showed that the dye in which the gloves Jiad been dipped contained an arsenical ,suit. Jj, seems to be perfectly true, whether we tread or not upon enchant ed grounds, that perils and snares be set us round. We knew that there piigh.t be poison in bread, beer, house paper, tea, and various ether things,1 but who ever thought, now-a-days at Jeast, of poison in a pair of gloves? Subscribe for the Republican. : L 25 J 1 (KssaaanaBRsa M. THICKS. One of the most prominent men among the leaders of the French nation tq:lay is M. Thiers. And the present is not the only epoch in the history of France in which AI. Thiers has figured as one of the prominent characters. Ho was one of the committee appointed at the hotel of the eminent banker Laffitte to proceed to the residence of Louis Phillippe, Duke of Orleans, to tender him the crown vacant by the abdication of Charles X. It is remarkable the amount of vitality this man must pos sess to carry him through so many trials and so much excitement. He has pass ed safely through three revolutions those of 1830, 1848 and 1870 and hs proved himself a hero in them all. He has none of the eloquence of Tally rand, but certainly M. Thiers possesses all the skill and dexterity that could possibly bo attributed to that great man. Amid all the changes that have taken place in the government of fickle, enthusiastic France, ' M. Thiers has always been found upon his feet, and equal to the emergency. As histariau to the first French Republic and Em pire, he acted his part well. He has also served the Governments of the IJjur bon Monarchy, the, Orleans Dynasty, the second Republic, the second Em pire, and now, at lour score, he stands preeminently at the head of the new phase which politics is assuming in France. To read over his history is almost like sketching the career of some adventurous American who had cast his lot among the feuds and contests of some foreign nation, after having im bibed the resolute energy and ready tact of the genuine Yankee. HOW IS IT! Much speculation has been indulged in of late by our Exchanges concerning the probable fate of the Oregon 11k PUJJUCAN ; some conjecturing that it would suspend after the completion of the first volume; others that it was about to be sold to the M. E. Church South to be moved to Corvullis, to be issued as an organ for their church. Now we wish to save our contemporaries all the trouble we -san, auJ in order to quiet all apprehensions, wc would say to them, that there is no intention of either suspension, or removal. Ou the contrary, the Republican has be come a permanent institution, and ranks among the iudbpcnsablcs with our people. Our purpose is to build up a paper here that ehall reflect credit, not only upon the town and county, ! but the State at large. Republican in principle, yet not so thoroughly wrap ped up in partizan feeling as to be un able to see our own faults, we propose, as far as our talents will permit, to stand for the right, and ask, what we feel from indications we shall certainly receive, a fair remuneration for our labors. A PUNISGAM. The greatest of physical paradoxes is the sunbeam. It is the most potent and versatile force wc have, and yet it be haves itself like the gentlest and most accommodating. Nothing can fall more softly or more silently upon the earth than the rays of our great luminary not even the feathery flakes of suow wbich thread their way through the at mosphere as if they were toe filmy to yield to the demands of gravity like grosser things. The most delicate slip of gold leaf, exposed as a target to the sun's shafts, is not stirred to the extent of a hair, though an infant's faintest breath would set it into tremulous mo tion. The tenderest of human organs the apple of the eye though pierced and buffeted each day by thousands of sunbeams, suffers no pain during tho process, but rejoices in their sweetnesN, blesses the useful light. Yet a few of those rays, insinuating themselves into a mas of iron, like the Britannia Tu bular liridge, will compel the closely knit particles to separate, and will move the whole enormous fabric with as much ease as a giant would stir a straw The play of those beams upon our sheets of water lifts up layer after layer into the atmosphere, and hoists whole rivers from their beds, only to drop them again in snows upon the hills, or in fat tening showers upon the plains. Let but the air drink in a little more sun shine at one place than another, and out of it springs the tempest or the hurrU cane, which desolates a whole region in its lunatic wrath. The marvel is that a power which is capable of assuming such a diversity of forms, and of pro ducing such stupendous results, should come to us in so gentle, so peaceful and so unpretentious a manner. British Quarterly Review. COUUUSlONDCNCI2 Dallas versus the Railroad. Editor Republican. Sir : When will the citizens of Dallas and Polk Co. awake to their own inter ests ? Let the cry of moving the county seat startle them from the lethargy ioto which they have fallen fallen, years ago, when Dallas was but a mere site. Instead of the wealthy and those having prominent mercantile interests, holding out inducements to those inclined to locate there,' they fought against their own interest by asking extortionate prices for their building sites -giving tho lowest market price for farm pro duce, rating their merchandize at a high figure, and thus by every means driving trade from the town. And now, when a railroad is contemplated, tho chances aro fifty to -one if the track is laid within five miles of this place. Yet, offerinjr, as it does, such facilities for commerce such as water privileges for manufacturing purposes, &c. besides being as healthy a location as any on on the West Side. ; . ;j. Again, instead of assisting and pro moting the; home manufacturing, she has always striven to trample under foot the only attempt that has been made to introduce her home grown wool as goods for the market. The idea has always been "entertained that it would be filling a few men's pockets iustead of the many. Oh ! blind infatuation and ig norance ! but for that, Dallas would have been a thriving place, instead of what it now is, a representation of Gold smith's 44 Deserted Village." Inducements have been offered to the Ellendale 31 ill Company (now in almost a crippled state, through losses, and not as some would affirm, a grasping for the whole on the part of a few of the Company) by certain of the citizens of Oregon City (the best location for manufacture) to move "their machinery to that spot yes, even to the amonnt of thousands of dollars has it been offer ed in presentation to assist in what they know will ensure a future success to their town. Will the citizens of Polk be idle, and hear and not understand ? see, and not believe ? Awake to your own interests, and hold out inducements to the Rail road King, and not be so infatuated as to despise the uame of a monarch ; for even in this Republic, monarchy has its sway in other than Govern mental af fairs. Do as the City of Salem did ive the manufacturing a start ; hold out inducements to loeaters; Veep your county seat, and strive for the location of the railroad in your mid.it, and await th rcsulLs.1 What will it do? why n hancc the value of property, iucrease trade and traffic, and build up a city. Yours, A Visitor. The Pigeon Mails. The London Times gives an inter esting account of the ingenious device by which the matter of two whole pag. a of that journal was transmitted from London to Paris. The pages of the paper which contained communications to relatives were photogrophed ou thin and almost transparent paper, and about one inch and a half long and one inch wide. By the naked eye there could be seen on these impressions but two legible words, 44 The Times," and six narrow brown bands, representing the six columns of printed matter, forming a page of 'th? journal. Under the microscope, however,- the brown spaces became legible, and every Hue of the newspaper was found to have been distinctly copied, and with the greatest clearness. These minute pho tographic dispatches were sent to Uor deaux for transmission by carrier pi geon to Paris. When tho messages arrived in Paris, they were, by the aid of a magic lantern, magnified to a large size and thrown upon a sereen. Astaff cf clerks then immediately transcribed the messages, which were sent toftheir addresses. The Times suggests! that the success of this experiment guves rise to the anpe that the new art of compressing printed matter mayUe made useful for tho ordinary purposes of literary men. Thus, if a page of thd Times can be compressed into the space of an ordinary postage stamp, an octavo volume might be made to cover a page of the Times, and a library could be reduced to the size of a prayer book. In this way, persous with the aid of a microscope, could, with ease, consult matter which is now exteoded over many folio volumes. p 1 1 1 i I . CURE FOR 8WINNI2Y. A correspondent of the Pioneer gives the following recipe as a sure cure for that disorder : " Mix half a pound, of blistering ointment and half a pint of spirits of turpentine, aud heat them over a slow fire until they are thoroughly blended. Between the fore finger and the thumb take a pinch of the skin on the diseased shoulder of the horse, prick it several times with a largs needle, and then rub in a part of the above mixture, repeat ing the rubbing for three or four days, until the shoulder is well blistered. When the blister heals, the swinney will be cured. Mr. W. B. Carter, former editor of the Corvallis Gazette, has again become as sociated with that paper. State Items. Gleanings from State Exchangep.1 . The Corvallis Gazette qoutes potatoes at $1. 50 per bushel, against 25 cents last year. Spring Trade aid Emigration. The Oregonian of Monday gays the steamship Idaho, on her way up from San Francisco, brings 10G cabiu aud 106 steerage passengers and 700 tons of freight, which indicate lively emigra tion and preparation for spring trade. Ed. Palmer of Albany, the man who was reported as drowned some time since has returned safe and sound. Tho fiu lletin of March 21st con tains the following: -Last night, at about 10 oclock a young man named J. McDrien, formerly proprietor of the Pearl Saloon, committed suicide by jumping from the ferry boat. But one person was on joard at the time, and before he could raise an alarm the swift curreni had carried the body from sight. The deceased was about 25 years of age, and for some time past has beeu leading a very disipated life. He was a native of Rochester, New York. Ingenious Counterfeit. Wells, Fargo, & Co. lately detected the most ingenious counterfeit ever heard of in the coin line. It is a $5 gold piece, counterfeit. The body of the coin is heavy zinc, and the outside covering is of gold, perhaps 8125 worth boing used for the purpose. The piece is so near the genuine in appearance that its character would not be detected by ten men in a hundred, upon the average, This specimen is now in the possession of Superintendent Mills of Portlaud. Bold Thief. On Saturday night last, a bold attempt was made to steal something from the interior of the resi dence of Mr. Ladd, corner of Alder aud 7th streets Portland. The key was tak en from tho front door, and the house entered about midnight, but the thief was surprised and tied. He afterwards returned, but did uot even theu suc ceed in getting anything of value. New Diggixis. The Dalles Moun taineer says uew aud extensive diggings are reported to have been lately found ou Cedar Creekn Cour d'Alene Moun tains. Senator Kelly reached Washington March .'id, George II . Pendleton and .Senator Hendricks were also iu Wash ington that day. Pi'GET Sound Collector. The O'ympia Tribune says : We learn, 'from a source entitled to some credit, that W. L. Marshall, of Philadelphia, has been appointed Col lector of Customs of the Pugtt Sound District, vice M. S. Drew, removed. The person named is a member of the Pennsylvania Legislature, and probably a friend of Senator Cameron, which would account fur his appointment Accident Two children of Mr. Clark's residing about four miles from Albany, had their finders cut off, one of them two, and the other one, while playing with a straw cutter, a few days ago. The land slide difficulties at the Cas cades have been overcome, and the rail road trips arc resumed. Articles of incorporation of the Port land. Dalles and Salt Lake Kailroad, signed by leading men of Portland have been filed. Capitul stock 20,000,000. Oregon City Steamers The high water at Oregon City the past few days has pre vented steamers reaching the warehouse there from below, but the Alert made the trip on Saturday with about 100 tons of freight on board. Mr. II. II. Gale, of the Roseburg Ensign, has invented and patented a proo-gal!ey rack for printers which is said to be a good thing. The March number of the Phrenolo gical Journal contains among its inter esting articles, a sketch of "Noah Web ster," "What can I do Best V "Punish ing Criminals, a Reform Demanded j" Mlow to Rise in the World, or Wherein Vies Greatness $' Progress of Religious Civilization, as Illustrated in tho Im proved Condition of the Race." Among its Illustrations are excellent portraits of Ncahx Webster, Thomas de Witt Talmadge. General Juan Priram, and King Amadeus, of Spain. This inval uable journal is furnished at $3 a year by S. R. Wells, New York. The A I dine for January and Febru ary has just como to hand, containing its usual amount of interesting and in structive matter. As an Art Journal, the Aldine stands unsurpassed among American publications. Its Illustra tions, among which in these two nura bers is Dante at the River Eunoe ; the Picnic, and several others would, if neatly framed, make fine ornaments for the library. This publication, together with an oil chromo, is furnished for $2 50 per year by James Sutton, 23 Liberty Street, New York. Another Ufortunate.- Some ver dant son of Webfoot, whoso name is not given, lately on a visit to San Fran cisco, drew from Wells, Fargo, & Co. $500 coin, and the next morning was found in a stupor with less than $100 left. He did not know who did it. NE W A D VER TISEMENTS. DALLAS HOTEL., CORNER MAI AND COURT STS. Dallas, Polk County Oregon.

Another significant fact is, that nowhere has the Pain Killer ever been in higher repute, or been more generally u.ed by families and indi viduals, than it has lieen here at home, where it was first discovered and introduced. That the Pain Killer will continue to be, what we have styled it, tub enr-AT mkmcinr of the would, there cannot he a shadow of a doubt Provi dence Advertiser. , 'Cheering1 Facts for the Rillou.
