' i 1 - DALLAS, SATUKDAY, OOT. 21. t --..f ; help ONii a mrtn i.iJ In the busy whirl of life. al feel more or less their dependence on each other; and yet we are proue to be too suspicious, and watch with too jealous an eye - the movements, words and ac tions of our fellows, not with a view to their reformation, but with a desire, efidenced , by actions, if not expressed in words, to pull them down iu the public estimation, and show to the pub lie that they are no better than they should be. This should not be po. Any man, however strongly fortified, is liable, in the whirl of business, to do what a more careful consideration would teach him was wrong In the excitement of debate, all are liable to use . lauguage which sober second thought wou d lorbid. ; To hold a per too strictly to account for this, and to make no allowance for weak, erring nature, is to put up a standard 'of judg Ejent by which we would shrink from being judged ourselves. Yet how often is this done. In the every day inter course of life, how of ten do we denounce people fur act3 which from our stand ppiqt look wrong, when the persons de nounced liave apted ip gqod faith, and did vihat they thought right, both for themselves and oth.rs. Iu our inter course with the world, then, we should, as far as possible, forbear censure ; and jf a brother offend, tell him of his fault privately, and give him an opportunity to vindicate himself, or prove that his course was rigljt and proper. Thi.s will be following out 'the Divine injunction, and will make life what the Creator designed it to be, both a pleasure and a profit. 4 . ... CONGRESSIONAL 11121'K ESENTA. TION. But few States in the Uniou show an increase in fthejr representation in Coo, gress. Illinois, in the last Congress, had fourteen representatjves ; iu the next she will have sixteen. Iowa had six in the last, and will have seven in the next. Kansas had one, and is now entitled t6 two. Michigan had six, and will to the next Congress send seven representatives. Missouri 1 nad nine, and has now the privilege of sending one Wrev The States which show a falling off, in representation are Con necticut, Indiana; Kentucky, Louisi ana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, llhode Island, Tennessee and Virginia- The representation in all the other States remain the same. The whole number of representatives in the next Congress, according to the apportionments will be two hundred and forty-three. The Pacific Railroad has completely falsified the early predictions of those who were so sanguine that the freight traflje would be of little accoupt. Great freight trains are constantly passing to and fro, and the earnings of both road Steadily increase. The through freight shipped at San Francisco for the East during the eight "months ending with August, reach 32,932,153 pounds em bracing wool, tea, hides, silk, quicksilver,-hops, coffee, wine, fish, leather, &c.p besides the shipments from the interior cities. Or? the i 31st of July Mr. Coxwell, an Englishman, in an experimental balloon ascent from' Hornsey, England, ascer tained that at an elevation or 7,850 feet, the thermometer declined from 74 degrees Fahrenheit at starting to 42 deforces. At a quarter of a mile from the' earth, there was a reduction of 4 degrees; at half a mile the thermome ter indicated 63 degrees. ' When the barometer stood at 24-2 the temperature wis'43, and nearly a mile and a half, it was lO degrees above freezing. We read in the Universe that a mag nificent candle, wonderful in size and exquisitely ornamental; was sent to the Vatican .with the request that it hul4 be lighted the next time the Itepe was to say mass. The request waVeoofrrmed to hot t soon as Pius saw thecandle burning by itself in an isolated pojrner of the chapel, he: Erected that it should be extinguished. Afterwards when it was opened, in the presence of His Holiness, it proved to (Contain a small . Orsini bomb, evidently placed there with destructive inten tions. Austria's army numbers 217,000 and 37,009 horses. THE STATE FAIR. The annual exhibition of the Oregon Agricultural Association passed f off pleasantly. Wp deem it hardly worth while to say much concerning it, as wo are inclined to think, judging from the crowd, that everybody was either there, or sent somebody in their place ; and the reports have gone out, and all uu derstaud what was done. Some cases of lawlessness, of course, happened, but not as many as might naturally have been expected where so largo a crowd was assembled. Miss Susan 11. An thony and Mrs. J. lakesly Frost were both there, the former giving the men particular fits, calling them brutes and tyrants, and giving the ladies advice as to the best means of freeing themselves from the tyrants yoke. The latter (bless her compassionate heart) was advocating the cause of the men, and showing up the effects of women's en franchisement. All kinds of amuse ments were indulged in : circuses, pan oramas, and an endless variety of minor entertainments were to be met with. It would hardly be expected that iu this, the close of the nineteenth century that people would indulge iu tl sports of a century ago, and enjoy them, yet such was the case. We noticed one man with a duck in a box, with an ap erture in the lid J'or the duck to put his head through, allowing men and boys to throw at the duck's head, a dis tance of several paces, for two bits a thiow, giving a prize of half a dollar to to the one hitting the dock. This, we suppo.se, was fuu for the boys, but death to the duck. The fair, as a whole, however, passed otl very well. The weather was pleasant, and everyone seemed to enjoy it. The exhibition was hardly up to our expectation, yet we hope to see it grow better, until our fairs will compare favorably with those of the older State. PIKE. The fire-fiend seems to have brokco loose in all iis fury. Chicago, the gar den city of the West, is in ruins. Loss too great to bo even estimated. A strip eight ratios in length and two mile- in width has been burned out of the best portion of the city. Fires are also raging in many other places. Along the line of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad much damage is bciog done. In Wisconsin fires are raging to a terrible extent. The town of Pesl. tigo was entirely destroyed the same night of the Chicago fire. The place numbered about two thousand souls, one third of whom is reported to have perished. Reports from different parts of Wisconsin show that over fifteen hundred ersons have perish d in the flames in that State alone. The people of different portions of the country are coming forward with exemplary gener osity to the relief of the suffering, and the losses will be partially repaired. Tt will be years, however, before those cities will recover the shock. The approximate losses by the late fire in Chicago amounts to 200,000, 000. The area burned over was 2,000 acres. The number of buildings burned is not less than 20,000. The dispatches state that the losses by insurance com prnies are not so great os was at first supposed, and the action of said com panies has inspired coufideuce among business men. Sleep Walk Kits. A gentleman in Illinois writes the following to tho Scientific American: " My observation has led mc to believe that sleep walk ing is a habit of tho system. I have noticed that children who arc allowed to sleep on the floor or lounge in the evening, and afterwards at some regu lar hour arc srouscd of course only partially awakened and sent to bed, will in time acquire the habit ot sleep walking. I have no doubt that the man mentioned in your paper of June 22d, who would get up in tho night and go to the cellar for a drink of wino while asleep, had been in tho habit of first .going for it, in the night time, while awake. I presume that few have failed to notice how soon the mind, by dreams, will recognize a habit of walk tng at a particular time for any pur pose. I think that the whole philoso phy of sleep-walking has its foundation in habit, acquired by disturbance at Bouiu regular nuur mbvuiuu Bicuy. 1 L , J A A l-. tl A musk melon five feet long is one of the wonders of L03 Angelos, Cali forma.

Having become a practical people, discarding old notions and theories, it now becomes us to ; look well -to the training of those who are to follow us ill. the life bVttle that is opening; upto us with such wonderful promise. They must be trained directly for the exi gencies of the age and times, and he who can prepare best both men and boys in the practical concerns of life, fitting them in the shortest time and in the best manner for successful, useful men, is the best benefactor. Not more than one third of our young men at the age of twenty-one are qualified to meet with success in the business world, and it is much to be regretted that practical education, go essential to success, has been so much neglected. The training of our boys at tho common school and academy has always been too. theoreti cal, and not sufficiently practical and useful. The result is that thousands of our young men to day are nobodies, that might have been men of influeucc; and many others arc engaged in pur suits that they heartily dislike, and in which tlu-y will never excel, simply because they had not sufficient confi dence in themselves to make au ex change. There are also middle-aged men who have followed so long in the same old beaten track of their ances tors that their ambition has become blasted, and it requires the teachings of some leading spirit to arouse them from their lethargy, and bring out their talents and energies. Then there are fathers by the score who show no more J judgment in the management of their sons than their horses, forgetting that the boy must sometime be the man, and that he can only rise to distinction and be independent by being as common sense dictates, iu the school of prac tice, and then permitted to pursue some avocation suited to his taste. Why do People not Starry Hotter I You hive seen a beautiful j;irl, beau tiful in person and spirit, graceful iu form and feature, and of a lovely dispo sition married to a man of common mould. Who cannot recall tuany such instances? Then rgaio you sic strong, intellectual men men every way supe rior so grievously mismated. It has often been remarked that if matches are made in. heaven, they must have got dreadfully shaken upand.miiphccd on their way down. Now it is very natural not only that people should, in the first place, all Want to marry well themselves, but also, in' the second place, that their own friends should be particularly well mar ried. At the same time, when wo take a broad, philosophical true vit w of the matter, what do we find our conclusion to be on tho subject '( It is very simple, and it is this Marriage, on the whole, cannot average above a certain medium rjuality ; in othe r word-, marriage in tluj general must bo precisely on the level wyh the ordinary character of the persons of whom the community is made up. And, as a comprehensive proposition, the whole problem of marriage is reduced to this question: Is it better for such people to marry each other or remain single 'I It. is inevitable that, as marriage is general, there must be thousands of instances in which parents , will be disappointed at the matches which their children make. Love is myste rious, and it leads the feet of hoys and girls in directions which their fathers and mothers would fain not have them go. They will not select the compani ons for life which othcr3 would select for them. The most that can be done to render marriage happier, is to contri bute what one can to the improvement of the whole community. It is not in your power to foresee who may becomo your son-in-law or your daughtcr-in-law perhaps it may be the very last person on earth you would expect. Whatever parents do, therefore, for the physical, intellectual and moral education of the whole people, will, in a manner, tend to increase the chances that their own sons and daughters will succeed in ! obtaining partners for life in the best way suited to their several dispositions Farmer.

Scarlet fever is increas ing in Eugene City. Miltou McMurry lost three childreu from the disease in one week. Some mischievous boys, residing in Eugene City, have been iu the habit cf placing spikes and other obstructions on the rails to see the cars jump. A couple of evenings ago they succeeded in throwing two passenger coaches from thej track. Fortunately nobody was injured. There were over fifteen teams loaded with lumber in one halflay this week at McCune & Manna's mill mostly for Liuu Couuty. On last Sunday the Steamer Pioneer at Ynquin i Ray; b!owed a tube out of one of her cylinders. No damage done except a short delay in her trip. The bridge ou Mary's River, under the surpervisiou of Mr. William Mc Lagan, is now being put to its final rest ing place. A Yaquina correspondent says : The Schooner W. S.

From tho Orrrnnivn of tho Jth in-t. we glean the following . Mr. James Hall, from Pundea Scot land, i one arron the terent immk urants who eamo out upon the- repre sentation of Mr. O. S. Phelp of thi eity After having spent sorwMimo in lookint; about for a plc t -etth, he ha ju.-t purchased Walker A' Carey's piaoe, at Weston, on the Willamette river, where he will settle and eirrr on a. dairv business. I le is hi:rMv ide-,ied with Oregon and ha ail vised t wo brothers ii.w in Sootlaud, tn eoin out. His rrporta concerning our State will, doubtless induce nnny others to inimi grate and settle, in "Oregon. All such men as Mr. Hall are doubly welcome among us. Mr. 1J. l. Hutler, a resi dent, we believe of the IaHc, has a ranch, in the Klickitat vallry, upon which In his a large hand of sheep anil -10 head. of Angorn goats. 3Ir. llobin son of Nisqnally Plains, PupH Sound, who visited JMr. Kutler's ranch a few tlays since, 'says that the goats are flonr ishing finely, are hardly, heathy and require hut little feeding. He thinks they will be much more profitable to raise than sheep. We are informed that cortain parties interested in such matters have it in contemplation to make a survey of the channel of the Columbia river, with a view to ascertain iog whether or not the river pilots arc doing the square thing in grounding so many vessels. They particularly intend to see if there is not a better channel on the north side of tho river opposite Astoria Ou the 10th inst. the loco motives Eugene and Hamburg reached San Francisco. These locomotives are enroute to this city and will probably reach here during the latter part of thfl present or the first of tho coming week, when they will immcdately be put into service.
