By natural selection great changes tiave been wrought in plants, animals and men;. i And by systematic selection ,man has so encouraged peculiarities of plants and domestic animals as to create or cause different breeds and varieties. Thorough breeding and cultivation is developing, by furnishing the best sorts, positions, ways and means for a given 'object, and by removing all obstacles to such improvement. ' There is certainly much in natural adaptation and natural self-adjusting. The effect of our cli mate upon the same varieties of corn, grains, vegetables and fruits, is so re markable as to be noticed by all ot our farmers from the older btatcs. lhc .effect on animals, though not eo marked at first, is none the less observable in a few generations. The physical character istics of men born and bred in different eection of the country are quite as plainly to be noticed as the difference in speech and in deportment. Wild Animals of a kind differ in different lo canities, but are all about alike where the conditions are equal ; but under years of systematic breeding and do mestication by man, they may be made jto o conform to traits and modes as to become distinct breeds from the same Mock. For instance, take a stock of cattle, all about alike, and breed from one portion for beef alone; from another portion for milk especially, and in a tew years they will represent two distinct breeds. We see it stated in the Ameri tan Agriculturist that a distinct family of short born grades has been produced v in East Windsor, Connecticut, within he last thirty years. They are good milkers, and sell at very high prices. Uti COUrse tniS uas . ueeu uruum. about by breeding for a purpose, with Btrict'attention to choice selections. Any aettled farmer can, by strict attention to business, constantly improve the good points and dispositions of.liia stock in this way, whether of cattle, horses, jsheep, pigs or poultry. First get the best sorts obtainable tbe ones no&rest the- desired standard and then always select and encourage 10 beat for breeding. If for milk, ' . i . 1 1 1 U I 8 A'J -1'A breed only from the best milkers, dis posing of the poorest, indepeiulent of other considerations. The vegetable kingdom is subject to the same laws. Careful selection of seed will not only keep up the standard sorts, "but improve them. We have known eminently successful farmers and gardeners go iuto the fields and pare fully gather the best samples by hand, rejecting every seed not the best. This sown to itself would the second year produce seed enough to plant a large field. Such selection pays in the loug run, and it is more of a pleasure than a trouble to a cultivator that likes his business. Local Papers. The following from the Chicago Daily 7?77wiican,contains many truths "which the people of Oregon in particular seem to be in a great measure strangers to. Hence we give it place in our columns, and commend it to the careful consid eration of our readers : " What tells us so readily the stand ing of a town or city asthe appearance of its paper? And its youth or ago can as well be defined by the observing as by personal notice. I ho enterprise of its city is depicted by its advertise ments, their liberality by the looks of the paper. Some papers show a good, solid, healthy foundation, plethoric purses, and a well-to-do appearance generally ; others show a striviug to contend with the crrasrinp: thousand around them, trying hard to wrench out an existence from the close-fisted community around them. An occasional meteoric display in its columns of tele graphic or leals or of editorials, shows what it can do if it had the means, but cannot continue in the expensive wo'rk until support comes, which ought to be readily granted. r A newspaper is like a church; it wauts fostering at the early commencement, and for a few years; then, as a general thing it can walk alone, and reflect credit upon its lo cation. Take your home paper, it gives you more news of immediate interest lhan the New York or other papers ; it talks for you when other localities be lie you ; it stands up for your rights ; you always have a champion in your home paper; and those who stand up for you should certainly be well sus tained. Your interests are kindred and equal, you must (stand or fall together. Therefore it is your interest to support your home paper, not grudgingly, but in a liberal spirit, as a pleasure, not as a a disagreeable duty, but as an invesf meat that will amply pay the expendi- lure. a r Vallejo'r S? in ule, iJnu.E. - A late number ot the New York Tribune says. "We beg leave to call the attention of book collectors to the fact that in the town of Vallejo, California, there is only one bible. It is in black-letter, and the owner thereof cannot read it. It is said to have been printed in 1011, but if it is in black letter it must be older than that, wc should think. If the owner will but send this inter esting relic to New York, he can ex change it for bibles enough to supply all the Christians in Vallcjc octavo, quarto, duodecimo; bibles plain, and illustrated; cheap bibles, and Dore's bible; nonpariel, minion, brevier, bour geois, long primer and pica bibles ; bi bles, in fact, of all sorts and sizes and shapes, including Spanish bibles, Eng lish bibles, Dutch bibles, Latin, Greek, and Hebrew bibles, and bibles in the sweet language of the Sandwich fs lands. Possibly among all these there may be a biblo which the Vallejo man can read, to the great edification of his soul." To Train a Horse to Stand. The American Slock Journal contains tho following directions : " Take your horse on the barn floor and throw a strap over his back and fasten it to his fore foot ; lead him along and say whoa; at the same time pull down on the strap, which throws him on three feet and makes him stop suddenly. This is the best way to teach whoa, though you can put on the war bridle and cay whoa, and give a sharp jerk, that will 6top him about as socn as the strap to his foot. Then put him in harness with a foot-strap, as directed under thd head of ' training to harness,' and dnvc him up to the door. Tho moment ho un dertakes to start take his foot up and say whoa. Get in your carriage and get out again, rattle tho thills, make all the noiso in knd out you can and give him to understand, by snatching his foot each time he moves, that ho must stand until you tell him to go; and after a few times you can put the whole family in tho carriage and ho won't stir out of his tracks. Subscribe for tha Republic, DALLAS, OREGON, SATURDAY, JANUARY t'ady Stanton Lecture. 'From the Western World. Tn her lecture about girls, the other evening, Cady Stanton contrasted the buoyant spirit of young males with the iejected sickliness of immaturo;women. This, she says, is because the latter are keenly sensitive to the fact that they have no aim in life. This is a sad, sad troth I No longer aco than yesterday the Town Crier s youngest girl Glo nana, sitim-muic Dionde concern ot fourteen, came pensively up to her father with big tears in her little eyes, and a forgotten morsel of buttered bread lying unchewed in her mouth : Papa," murmured the poor thing, "I'm getting awful pokey, and my clothes don't seem to set well in the back. My days are full of ungratify ing longings and my nights don't get any better. Papa, I think society needs turning inside out and scraptn . 1 haven t prot nothin to aspire to no aim; no anything !" And the desolate creature piled herself loosely into a cane-bottom chair, and her sorrow broke "like a great dyke broken." The Town Crier lifted her tenderly upon his knee and bit her softly on the neck. Gloriana," said he, " have you chewed un all that irum in two days? A smothered sob was her frank confes sion. " Now, sec here, Glo," continued the parent, rather sternly, " don't let me hear any more about 4 aspirations which are always aduftcrated with terra alba nor aims ' which will give you the gripes like anything. You just take this two-bit piece and invest every cent of it in iiz -paste !'' Y'ou should have seen the long, bright smile crawl from'onc of that innocent's ears to the other yon should have marked that face sprinkle all over with dimple you ought to have beheld the tears of joy jump flittering into her eyes and spili over the father's clean shirt that he hadn't had on more than fifteen min ufes. Caly Stanton is impotent of evil in the Town Crtcr's family as long as a vestige of that Gg-paste remains on lund joldthk I HUTU. onic one wa telling me, the other day, a new story about the late lean Richmond, who was known fir and wide for his profan ity and giddiness of manner. Richmond was here at tin tune, and rny informant who was then a boy working in a print ing office, wished to get a pass over the Central Riilroad, Witl this purpose in view he entered the office where the magnate was, fearing that he would be rudely rebuffed when he made his mis sion known. After a moments hesi tation, he said, falteringly : " Mr. Richmond, I believe ?" " Yes ; what do you want of roe ?" I should like, sir, to get a pass from Albany to Huflalo, as I can go up on the boat for nothing " On what grounds do you ask for a pass?" (This was in a rising and very rough voice). " On the ground that I don't want to pay my fare." Richmond without another word wrote out a pass and handed it to the applicant. Tho boy took it, saying: "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Richmond." " Y'ou needn't thank me, young fel low. I'm glad to accommodate yon. You are the first person I have ever known to ask for a pass on tho right grounds." Advertiser Gazette. Vicious habits are a great stain upon human nature, and so odious in them selves, that every person actuated by right reason would avoid thenT, though he was sure they would always be con cealed from God and man, and, nad no future punishment entailed upon them. .

An Outlet To Lake Superior. An ancient outlet to Lake Superior has been discovered by tbe Michigan Geo. logical Sor.vcy. This outlet is unmis takable in its character, and consists of a deep valley or depression, bordered with high bluffa, and is continuous from the south, shore of Lake Superior to Green Ray in Lake Michigan. Tho practicability ot a ship canal is suggest ed by this discovery, and surveys will no doubt soon be made to that end. Should it be found practicable, it will greatly'shorton the distance betweon the ports on tho lakes. . Permanent rest ia not to bo oxpooted on tho road, but at the cad of the journey. All Around.

Tea Overland. -On December 28th, 180 tons of China and Japan tea was sent by overland railroad from San Francisco to New York. Ban Francisco offers a subsidy of three millions to the California Central R. It. Co., to establish the terminus of that road at Mission Ray. The highwayman who robbed the stage of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s treasure, on Christmas night, between HcaMs burg and Cloverdalc, was a young man only fifteen years of age, and weighing seventy-five pounds. The Western Pacific railroad at the Lead of Alameda canyon was broken by freshets and badly dmr?ged. Cars were unable for several days to run through to Sacramento.

Land slides have occurred on the railroad, property washed away along the rivers, and a general destruc tion reported. On union Inland in the Sacramento river, 2,000 head of sheep were drowned. A StuantiK Case. Mr. Chambers, a station agent at the Millford branch of the Hoston and Maine Railroad, died a few days since from the bite of his little daughter, a mere child. She had been suffering a short time with diphtheria, and the father, for some reason not stated, put his hand iu her mouth, which she seized and bit with just force enough to break the skin. The virus in the child's teeth penetrated the wound aud was diffused through the system. After a week's illness, during which time the body of Mr. Chambers become much swollen, he dicd Prof. Chandler, editor of the Ameri can Chemist states in that journal that when solid nitrate of silver is placed upon glowing charcoal, deflagration takes place, the result being that silver is left behind in the metallic state. The curious phenomenon attending the re action is that the nitrate, being fused by the heat of chemical action, sinks down in the pores of the coal, and as each particle of the latter is replaced by tbe reduced silver, the structure of the original wood is retained. In this way he has succeeded in producing masses of silver weighing an ounce or more, which show most beautifully the rings of annual growth in the wood. The author advises that a crystal of the nitrate be placed on the end of a stick I cbcoal, and the blow-pipe flame directed upon the coal beside it to start the reaction. As soon as the deflagra tion sets in crystal after crystal may be added. Watering Teams Often. Horses and oxen at work need water ofttn. The plowman carries his jug of water, or leaves his team to rest while he goes to the house for a drink. Rut the team works harder than the driver,and prob ably needs, drink as often j yet many teams are taken out earlv in the Held, where there is no water except in tho driver's jug, and work five or six hours before they can got a drop. Is it any wonder that they aro injured by drink ing'toomuch rhen they aro led to the spring at noon or evening f A man is in the sight of God what his habitual &ad cherished wishes aro. 13, 1872.
