Soiree. The Umpqua Hose Company's
entertainment Wednesday evening was largely
attended at Slocum's hall, and all went merry
as the "marriage bells," until the '"wee sma'
hours.", It was a success.
Thanksgiving Dinner. That Thanks
giving dinner a' the McClallen House yester
day was superb, think of it, turkey, chicken,
goose, and other meals, cranberry sauce, and
every thing that an epicure might desire.
The supper on Wednesday.
- New Arrangements. We have made ar
rangemnts for lS86 to give the New York
World and the Review to all subscribers the
same as lor 1885. Three dollars in advance
secure lxth papers for one year. 1S86 will be
if great political year in this country.
"Scrubs." Every exchange that came to
our table this week without exception, so far
as we saw, and wc looked closely to find what
the testimony would Ijc, is against the course
of the Oregonian in reference to J. II. Mitch
ell. Surely Oregon is afflicted with many a
"Scrub." .
Ten Cent Stamp. The public is informed
that nothing but the special ten-cent stamp
can be used upon a rapid delivery letter, to
which must be added a two-cent stamp, mak
ing twelve cents in all. The idea that twelve
cents in ordinary stamps will secure rapid de
livery is erroneous.
Good Poetry. The verses on first page
headed "Lines" by Miss Rice on the death of
lCi brother, arc we think the most suitable
we have printed or read for a long time.
While they are melancholy, yet they breathe
a confiding gentle spirit, that is equal to J. G.
Holland on "Woman." Miss Rice is a remark
able writer.
Look Here. We make another offer to
our many subsciiljcrs: We will furnish you
with the "Practical Farmer" a wtekly 16 page
paper, established 1855 published in Phila
delphia, and the Review, for one year for
$3.25 in advance. This is the best offer
made to farmers, stock and dairy men. 1'rice
of Farmer $2.00 per year.
Removal. 12. G. Hursh has removed his
ofllce into S. Marks & Co's. brick, and occu
pies the rooms vacated by Dr. , M. W. Davis.
Mr. Hursh as an attorney at law, will give
strict attention to all business intrusted to his
care, he will look after your hcriditaments
loth corporeal ami incorporeal, and will settle
all disputes in favor of his clients.
Another View. A. prominent citizen
writes his views of the senatorial election, and
signs himself "A Democrat." Of course w e
give the views of all that may write in a can
did way as he has done, and give due respect
to all. lie takes us to task mildly, and wo
have no disposition to resent it, for we think
our course has been a consistent one.
Second Crops. Here's another item for
some of our eastern friends who are enjoying
ten degrees below zero: This week Hon.
jos. Craven and Sam Goff have brought us
ripe blackberries on the vine. Ripe tomatoes
an I lcans have becn(picked from the garden
in the city within the last ten days. Second
crops of Red June apples are common.
How's thai for high? West Side. '
Deserves credit. Our cotemporary
D. S. K. Buick deserves credit for the enter
prise he has displayed in putting steam power
in his office to run his machinery Both the
paper and job presses are now run by steam,
lie now does our press work, and docs it
well You need not send away for anything
you want done in the printing line, it can all
be done in Roseburg, and at fair prices. The
Review and rlamdcalcr olhces can do now
as nice job work as you will find most any
where.
Coos Bay Railroad Again. The inex
haustable resources in Douglas and Coos
counties of coal, lumlicr, gold mines, grass,
and with proper attention, vegetables, fruits,
dairy products, and other industries, make an
argument to capitalists, to come and build a
railroad which is unanswerable. It would be
ol incalculable benefit to all concerned, to
build a line from Roseburg to Coos Bay and
Port Orford. A route.has been already sur
vcyed, and found to be practicable, and a
road could be constructed at a very reasonable
cost, in comparason with many roads built in
the west. This would open up in all this vast
territory in Southern Oregon a means of
transportation which would be renumerative
and expeditious. Benton county is now en
joying the value of a competitive road to the
amount of 6 cents per bushel more for wheat
than is given by any other route. Then let
us have a railroad to the coast from Roseburg.
Serenade. Last Friday evening the citi
zens of Roseburg tendered Hon. Bingcr Her
man and family a farewell serenade at their
beautiful residence in this city. The Y. D.
and Junior Bands alternated and gave the best
of music, whereupon Hon. W. F. Benjamin
brought Judge Mosher from the crowd that
had assembled,' to the foot of tr!a steps of the
Hon. gentleman's house and introduced him.
Judge Mosher made remarks as only the
Judge can, and said ("that if all were not
unanimous in voting for you,' we are all unan
imous now,in believing that you will repre
sent the whole country without partiality. '
Next the "silver longucd orator," lion. L. F,
Lane was presented, and he drew a mental
picture of the occasion, of the departure, of the
journey, and of the work to be done for our
young State, that could be excelled only by
himself, (and we even have doubts about
that,) and which was splendid to look upon.
At the close of this fraternal mosaic by Mr.
Lane, Mr. Herman steped forward and said
that words were inadequate to express his grat
itude for this kindly demonstration. He made
extended rcrnarjisfter which at least aoo
people took him by the hand and said fare

The pharse "a wheel within a wheel" un
doubtedly had its origin in the Bible. In
Ezek. i. 16 we find the expression, "a wheel
in the middle of a wheel" The reviseors of
the Bible have adopted the popular phrase
"a wheel within a wheel," whether as a more
correct transcript of the original or in defer
ence to the common phrase is known only to
themselves.

yard with the domestic fowls. Hunters hands

A Short Letter.
Why is it true that many grand thoughts
and noble sentiments do not reach the people
through the press. Because the religious press
will not publish them, neither will the secular
press for fear of opposition to, or from the re
ligious press.
Should they form a league to suppress truth
which is calculated to enlighten and elevate
mankind, is not the truth as forcible if uttered
on the street as from the pulpit? Is it not as
true if spoken by a peasant, as if proclaimed
by a king? Now Mr. Editor I petition you to
publish one sentiment for me which is as fol
lows. We cannot attain the highest state of
civilization and intellectuality without equality
of rights, according to the relation we sustain
to each other. L. C. Hill.

the Review office before the day of publica

I didn't have to hunt for items this week,
for Sol, as usual, let his garrulous tongne
loose, and in conversation with his best girl,
told alxnt everything there is to be told. Of
course III not repeat all the sweet things he
said, but merely those that would interest
your readers. lie remarked that the literary
club organized last term by the students of
the Normal School, is proving to be an im
portant factor in the mental culture of the
young folks. He says that the increased fa
cility in extempore speech is remarkable.'
His best girl suggested that an equally re
fined factor might be found in the daily Vocal
music lessons, which now enable the students
to carry all the parts of a difficult chorus suc
cessfully. Sol seemed to !e much pleased
with this remark, for he prides himself on, his
tenor voice, so he launched out in a compli
mentary rhapsody on alto voices. 1 got so
tired of this that I came near leaving in dis
gust, but he changed suddenly, to express his
joy in the fact that the man who sought io
locate a gin mill in our scholastic village,
vented his anathemas, in despair, because no
man would, at any price, rent rooms to him,
for any such purpose. Think of it! A town
of four hundred inhabitants, in Douglas coun
ty, with moral force enough to be prohibitory
in its very nature and essence! I have never
been as proud of Drain, as now. But in my
pride I wander from the subject.
Sol then went on to remark that Mr. Mc
Guire's lecture, of last Wednesday evening
was a success. He then ramarked that Rev.
S. Gittins preached an excellent sermon last
Sunday evening. Then his limber organs of
speech reverted to the fact that the Christain
Church has purchased an organ for its Sunday
School, and that it is a great assistance to the
faithful teachers who labor so zealously to fit
the children for upright moral citizenship.
God speed their noble work.
The Methodist Sunday School was con
ducted by J. W. Krcwson, last Sunday in
the absence of Sup'd't Booth. He reports
a pleasant session, and a considerable increase
in the school library. Sol tells me that M. C.
Johnson will preach next Sunday morning.
The attendance of course will be good.
Sol says that Rev. R. Booth has been tele
graphed to preach a thanksgiving sermon for
us, but at this time, his answer has not been
received. We all hope that the answer will
lie favorable, for his able sermons are greatly
appreciated by the Dram people just here
Sol tried to kiss his girl, so I blushed and
slipped away. In order to regain my compos
ure I walked, down the street, and met the af
fable landlady of the Drain Hotel who re
minded me that your typo made a mistake last
week, in saying that Mrs. B. pointed out the
pie-biter, when, in fact, I wrote, Mrs. H.
While this was being explained, I observed
that the hotel was filled with patrons who wore
a well-fed, satisfied air. Next I passed tho
store of our friend Cellers, and fhe genial smile
on his handiome face, told of brisk trade and
good times.
Then I passed on to Drain & Co.'s store
and found Charley unpacking the largest stock
of boots and shoes, ever brought to our town.
Charley says that cash bargains are to be had in
this line. On the other side of the house I
saw samples, and a notice to the effect that
ou can get suits of clothes made to order at
prices ranging Irom sixteen to twenty-hve
dollars.
I found Schlosser and O-stertag still eating
sour Krout and doing good work in their line.
At the Drug store I saw a splendid stock of
holiday goods from which our people will se
ed their Christmas gifts.
Then Ed. Estes called me in and allowed me
to sampl a fine slock of French candies and
other good things, all of which reminds us
that the Chistmas holidays are close at hand,
when drums, tin horns, and other tortures on
the part of ye small boys, w ill remind us of
an amatucr brass band.
I visited the Normal School again, today,
and among the hundred intelligent faces there,
I saw the new ones, of Miss Hamilton, Miss
Green, Mr. O. C. Brown and Roscoe Green,
of Roseburg, and Jesse and David Butler, of
Scottsburg.
There was a law suit this week, presided

We have found the missing link. It is
neither animal, vegatabie, nor mineral, sim
ply a letter; only this and nothing more. But
it means a great deal. It deals with circles
instead of straight lines. All straight lines
have a beginning and an end. The circle is
the emblem of eternity. It begins nowhere
and ends in the same' place. Genesis instead
of Pangenesis. Ascent as well as descent.
Revolution instead of Evolution. All things
return to their source. Rivers to the ocean
run. The sun hasteth to the place whence it
arose. The seasons follow in endless succes
sion. All things are full of labor. There is
no new thing under the sun. From these
random theses we gather the general propo
sitionRevolution is the law of the universe.
Revolution plays no pranks. All is har
monious. Center and circumference never
collide. An endless succession of rings may
occupy the same space witfcout touching.
The sun, moon and stars in their several or
bits are nicely balanced between the opposing
forces of centripetation and centrifugatien.
Unity in diversity and harmony in variety is
another lessonin nature's school.
Dust thou art and unto dust thou shall re
turn. Here is science 6000 years old and
none the worse for the wear. The various
steps from the lowest forms of unorganized
matter up to man proclaim his kinship to the
Cosmos. His spiritual nature, a little lower
than the angels, manifests his divine kinship.
Midway from nothing to the Deity, he sup
plies the only link between the material and
the spiritual. -

The scries ends: Wide yawns the gap,
Connection is no more; checked reason halts,

Striving to climb she tumbles from her

A scheme analogy pronounced so true.
Faithful to the Divine law of revolution
man returns to his source. Then shall the
dust return to the earth as it was, and the
spirit unto the Qod who gave it. Revolution
is written on the heavens above and the earth
beneath, but there is not one solitary fact to
prove fhe theory of pangenesis. In the Bri
tish museum there is not a relic of the trans
mutation of species. In all that vast collec
tion of antiquities the Evolutionist cannot
point to one specimen to prove his theory of
Descent. Geology docs not yield one iota of
evidence to prove that man is a result of nat
ural selection. According to the admission of
Evolutionists themselves, it is at best an un
proved theory. No wonder it has been called
the wildest dream of materialism, for like the
baseless fabric of a vision it melts away. -

We have a good lawful excuse Bro. Bell,
have been "on the wing," been moving, been
assisting Mrs. Xerxes in arranging household
fixtures all but the stove pipe and that we de
pended on our next door neighbor who is a
very patient man and never gets angry, so it
was airanged that he would perform that duty
we first ascertained that he had no Senatorial
aspirations and then in company with Mrs.
Xerxes took a short walk, we were not out
long when madam thought she heard distant
thunder but we knew better; that stove pipe
we suggested that it would be a wise thing in
our Legislature to elect Binger Herman to the
United States Senate, she was positive that
it was going to storm and persisted on re

we found a hearty welcome. Mr Carr is one

This paper the Independent then did not
at the last election support the gentleman
nominated by the Republicans for the Legis
lature from this county, they aie under no ob-'
ligation to it for any aid or comfort rendered -at
that time. Whilst really not speaking severe- '
ly of any one", special pains was taken to ad
vise the people concerning Hon. Geo. W.
Riddle. Those who knew him best were in
clined to doubt his worthiness, ability and
most of all his willingness to fairly represent
his constituency. In this last requisite his re
cent conduct in the late Senatorial contest at
test the justice of such opinion. To those
who elected him he has proved himself un
worthy the confidence, and to a majority, and
an overwhelming majority at that, of the cit
izens of Douglas county, he has shown him
self unwilling to regard their wishes or to do
anything but to misrepresent them. Nothing
could have sounded more rediculons indeed
than when at an uncalled for moment doring
the last ballot for Senator he arose and pom
pously said;
"I hank the Democrats for taking this job
into their own hands and assuming the respiiTi-i'
sibilityof this election. I thank God tnat I
can go to my home with conscience free from
the shame and sin of having aided to elect so
infamous a man as John II. Mitchell to a po
sition of trust." If the Suoreme ruler ereA
no more for this man's thanks than did the
Democrats who supported Mitchell, then it
was no doubt applauded, and appreciated else
where. When Mr. Riddle returns to his home
in Grants Pass and outside of Douglas county, i
he will not hear even among his adopted con- '
stituency a single approving word. But then
he will have his "conscience" and nobody wilt
rob him of it. He cannot but know that pol
itics aside, Mr. Mitchell was the choice of nine
out of ten of the people South of the Calla-
pooia. That those nearest of kin to him in
Douglas county, and most honorable people
they are too, advocated Mr. Mitchell's elec
tion. He has denounced them as well as other
good men of the crime of supporting "an in
famous man." No one envies "that' con
science," it belongs to Mr. Riddlei disturb it
not, be sure to kecp .it, and do not give it
away "that conscience.'
To the Democrats who saw fit to vote for
Mr. Mitchell, we say all hail and honor. We
do no t expect Mr. Mitchell .will be a Dem
ocrat, nor will he obrtruct the administration.
He will be a faithful Senator regarding the in
terest of the whole State, and not forgetting
Southern Oregon, and that is glory enough for
us. So speaks our conscience.
