Let 'kr Drop. Seme of our papers miss
at the Salem postoffice we fear, and hope ihr,t
all along the line a little more care be cxer"
cised in regard to papers. Some think, "O
it's only a newspaper" and cast it aside; s'-.vae
of Uncle Sam's officers do this way, we have
seen it done, and yet much money is invested
in the newspaper business and the postal offi
cers are just as pliable for the careless handling 1
of papers as letters. Something will drop
some of these days.
Another Accident. Thomas Thomp
son who lives in Coles Valley last Sunday,
while he and his little girl were on their way
to visit Mr. John Wright's family, the horse
that the girl was riding for some cause began
bucking, and Mr Thompson jumped from
his horse to save the girl when the horse
kicked him, breaking several rilw and other
wise bruising him, and threw the girl breaking
her leg and bruised her severely. This is in
deed a very jad accident. At last reports all
were doing well as could be expected.
Snow, Fleecy Snow. Since Monday
up to Thursday evening the snow had fallen
to a depth of nearly 24 inches and still snow
ing . It snows and melts, and melts and
snows. Considerable snow is now on the
ground. This is the heaviest snow in
Douglas for many years. Tha weather is
mild and comfoitable. This enow storm ex
tends to California on the south and to the
North Tole on the norfh. Heavy snow in
Willamette. This storm is a good teacher,
improvident folks will put up plenty of hay-
next year, maybe.
Bonanza Mines. Mr. C. Taikcr latlely
from California has put up one of his Parker
Talent Retorts for reducing quicksilver ores j
at the Bonanza mines, which has been in
operation for the past week, giving entire sat
isfaction to the owners of the mine. This
one being the smallest size and used more for
testing the ores and proving its utility the
results being very flattering. The 'company
intend putting up as soon as the weather will
permit two or three of the largest size with a
capacity for reducing two tons ore to each
retort every 24 hours. Mr. Parker deserves
great credit for his untiring efforts to bring
something into requisition to extract the
quicksilver without the use of water and at a
cost of which is merely nominal to the usual
mode of reduction, May his efforts be crowned
with success.
A Fine Y ater Power. It looks like a
mystery that as fine a water power as the one
m West Roseburg should be overlooked and
lay there unoccupied. This power is on the
Unipqua river in a position to ,be made at a
very small cost one of the rerj best in the
state. There is almost a natural race, a dam
two feet high is all that is necessary and only
a wing dam is necessary to turn the water in
to the race, thirteen feet head can be got and
there is at least six thousand square feet per
minute at the lowest water in the river, and
this power could be got at a very small price
and the finest location for mills that can be
found; from 150 to 200 horse power can be had
from this power any time of year. While theseJ-
men were last fall looking for a location for
a power and location for a woolen mill,, why
were they not shown this location? it can be
made for one half that any other water power
in the state can be made for thatJs as valuable,
This is not random talk but actually so, as it
has been surveyed by competent judges. It
is estimated that thjs can be improved in the
best and safest way for less than five thousand
dollars, and when done there is power to run
all of the machinery needed for the town. It is
surprising that the owners of this power has
not put it before the public so that some com
pany could know that this power which is so
valuable is actually there, and if once brought
to notice it will be used soch.

BLAINE rUSHIMG HIS CANDIDACY.
PhiladelhiaI Jan. 27. The Times'
Washington special say: Senator-elect Iliscock
has been in close conference with a few prom
inent republicans of the house, and has startled
them with the emphatic announcement that
Blaine has not only formally announced him-
ielf to certain leaders in New York as a can
didate for the presidential nomination, but
with the consent and co operation of those
gentlemen had already commenced the work
of securing the New York deletion. Sena
tor, Hiscock admitted substantially that his
own election is due to friends working upon
the supporters ol Morton, with that gentle
man's assent, and by arrangement with them
had restored harmony in the republican party
which would insure the carrying of the Em
pire state for Blaine.

Chicago, Jan. 27. The News' AVashing-
ington special says: All agree in saying that
the imposition on the Chinese minister at his
grand ball was a shame. About 400 invita
tions were issued and over 1500 people made
their way into Stewart castle. Dancing was
mpossible, because of the awful crush. It
was nut a ball, but a well-dressed mob. The
cloak rooms were scenes of great confusion and
the dressing room was so jammed lhat the
fairway was crowded fr hours with ladies
trying to reach or return from it. There was
so much confusion that ladies lost their wraps
and gentlemen their overcoats and they had
to go to the legation this morning to see if they
could not be recovered. In the drawing rooms
which were jammed with people, many hand
some orn'amcnls were broken, and lhcrs are
missing; but the most disgraceful scene was in
the dining room, which was taken possession
of early in the evening, as soon a? the doors
were opened, by a well-dressed mob and occu
pied until the tables were cleared.
Bon Perley Poorc says: "There was never
anything like it, nor ever anything so disgrace
ful in the histcry of Washington society. Of
the 1500 people who were in the house, only
about 200 persons reached tho dining room,
and they remained there. Some who wanted
to get out were unable to do so. One senator,
who passed in early in the evening relates, that
after seating his wife he went to a table to get
her some refreshment, but was not able to re-
urn to her becaus3 of the jam and did not scr
her again for iwo hours. The description of
the affair which Chang Yen Hocr will send to
his government would ba interesting, as bear

KPIK1TUAL1S31 AO A IX -II li I' L Y.
When my reply to Mr. Hill apiwarcd i;J
the Review I was amused to see a Heavenly
Port turned into a Post, and a whispering
gallery, merely a whispering, however o great
harm is done. I find Brother Hill assumes he
has spoken against my creed, far from it.
I am a Unitarian and it is our boaU that wc
have no iron-clad creed to fetter the free heart
and progressive mind. I5i.it we adhere to
living principles that may be summed up
thus: Loving service to God, loving help to
bur fellow beings, being and doing what is
tfght and good. We are at liberty to investi
gate any subject wheresoever the spirit of truth
Jeads us. I simply arraigned him for mis
stating the teachings of Spiritualism. I do not
disdain to study a subject from all standpoint
if I wish to truthfully and intelligently speak
thereof, neither am I so egotistical as to think
can interpret dear old molher nature's les
sons better than any others who have read and
iwritten from her ever growing and glowing
pages, how am I sanctified and made belter
!by listening to the Post-king who so long ago
Wrote the nineteenth Psalm, not less beautifully
has a later poet hymned her praise in the "spa
cious firmament on high," I .did not intimate
that being we'd born obviates the necessity of
of second birth, but it might lessen the fear of
it considerably. The second in order is analo
gous to the first, viz; a separation of parts never
again tobe resumed, so taught Socrates, Jesus,
Paul, Swedenborg and Davis; and millions
jof intelligent people believe it. Mr. Hill says
if the doctrine of spiritualism appertains to the
invisible, the imponderable, impenetrable, in
tangible he cannot comprehend it, can he not
comprehend a thought? yet can he prove that
it has not those properties or has? will he bring
his miscroscope and scalpel, and balances, and
'display to waiting millions the color, shape and
weight, of a thought? will he stand before the
Keely Motor and exhibit that power emanating
from a harmonica which moves lhat mighty
engine? To the naked eye it is inyisiblc, im
ponderable and intangible, yet to the seer in
the brain of A. Wilford Hall it is a substantial
entity, but like the spirit-body it can penetrate
coarser substances the door being shut. Trance
and dream are facts in the universe, as much
as wide awake condition. Let me quote from
the ignored book "Natures Divine Reve
lation" "any theory, hypothesis, philosophy,
sect, creed or institution that fears investiga
tion, openly manifests its own error." Spint-
alists invite open, unprejudiced discussion,
and investigation. Mr. Hill recognizes five
senses, many people cognixe six, and Prof.
Pierce declares "there may be room for more
than forty new teases each having its own ef
fect on the nervous system ot the observer."
I believe in every one having perfect liberty to
do their own thinking but I still hold it unfair
to condemn any sect or creed without correct
knowledge of its teachings. As for me "I hold
to one true church of all true souls, whose
churchly seal is neither bread or wine nor lay.
ing on of hand nor holy oil, but only the an
noinling of God's grace, I keep the holy faith
in God, and man, and in the Angel ministrant
between." Amen. Mrs. Reame.

SPIRITUALISM BF.F1SICD.
.Editox Review: A criticism of spiritual
ism by L, C. II. and a reply in late issues of
your interesting paper has set your correspon
dent to thinking. Constructive criticism should
always be in order, and doubtless is acceptable
lo all sincere lovers of truth. Truth docs not
shun the light, it courts criticism and honest
investigation; contrary to the false ideas we
sometimes hear expressed by superficial object"
ors to Christianity, the scriptures ftcn com
nicad honest investigation. The Samaritans
said to tho woman, "Now wc believe not
because of thy saying, for we have heard him
ourselves. inc licreans were more nouie
than the Thessaloniaus because they searched
the scriptures to see whether those things were
so. Taul said, "I speak as to wiso men, judge
ye what I say." There is such a wide differ
ence and such a comprehensive field in what is
generally claimed to be spiritualistic teaching
that a standar guage is almost impossible to
be found. No single authority can be quoted
a.5 the key to all, we can only judge of it by its
own claims. As the late convention a Salem
has declared it to be consistent for spiritualists
to be members of any christian church, one
would think there is nothing contradictory in
their teachings or practice, but the essential
element in spiritualism if we are to judge it by
the claims of ils advocated is a professed com
munication with the departed. This implies,
ot course, a recognition cf the grand doctrine
of the immorality of the soul taught in the
scriplurcK, and seconded bj analogy, and
strengthened by universal belief. Next is the
measure of conscious interest in the affairsof this
life that may 01-may not be picdicated of pure
ly spiritual existence. The common faith of the
christian has always been ready to recognize in
some degree the possibility and probability of
purely spiritual manifestations whenever in the
economy of God's providence aud grace, it may
serve his high and holy purpose in the salva-
Mon cf men
This much is conceded, and
these glorious truths are not the worse if they
should be found to b common grouud on
which spiritualism and Christianity arc based,
but right here wc part company.
That professional conversation with the un
seen world, should be retailed out to a gaping
crowd in a darkened room accompanied by the
strange gymnastics and unmeaning per
formances of chairs, tables, musical instru
ments, etc. at so much a head, must ever be
revolting to the average intelligence and moral
consciousness of a sane and truthful man. That
the trickery has been exposed atrain and again
not perhaps to convince some minds of the
deception, mankind loves the wonderful, and
as Barnum, the showman, says "People like
to be humbugged," on the other hand, spir
itualists generally throw discredit on all that
divine in Christianity. Your correspondent
Mrs. Reamcs says that spiritualists do not be
lieve in miracles at all, but relegate all phe
nomena and their results to the region of law
which is as unalterable as its author. The
quotation of ccripturc to prove theories subver
sive of its foundations may be intelligent to
some minds but to your correspondent, seems
very much like a man trying to fly by pulling
at his boot-straps, how can anyone admit the
truth of the scriptures, and deny the super
natural? If the appeal is made to reason-and
experience, pray, what do wc know of the un
alterable laws of nature. To deny miracles is
to limit the almighty power of God. There
is as much of miraculous in nature as there is
in the scriptures and as much that we cannot
understand; it would be too much for the pres
ent paper to enter into a systematic treatment
of miracles, they are. not contradictions of
God's law but the subordination of a lower law
to a higher. To say that God cannot
or will not work out of his ordinary way is
to make a statement without a particle of proof.
Objectors like Mrs. Rcames are obliged to pre
sume on the knowledge of God's law revealed
in the Bible thereby unwillingly subscribing to
its truth in order to advance an argument
against it, like the man who saws off the limb
on which he stands. There is one miracle of
the scriptures that even infidel writers have
usually avoided and which is pertinent to the
present discussion viz "the resurrection of
Christ," let those deny the fact who can. If
admitted it carries with it all that is divine, all
that is supernatural and is st Once both the
evidence and the key to all the scriptures and
Ike historical clement of the church of Christ,

IK paper read by Miss Faiixia FiUBDLAgDiR be
fore the Adelphian Literary 8oclety, Jan. 28, 1887.
A life of peace and prosperity furnishes tut
little matter for a chronicle. Such doubtless,
with but a brief interval, was that of England's
greatest poet, Shakspeare. For the record of
his life is brief in the extreme: rather more of
an obscure atmosphere than might be wished
surrounds his early life, and scarcely anything
remains to his biographers but a scanty hand
ful of conjectures.
He was born at Stratford-on-Avon, in War
wickshire, April 23, 1564. The boy-hood of
Shakspeare, till he was ten years old, was
spent probably in a manner well adapted to
foster his genius.
The beautiful woodland scenery, the beds ff
violets and the btnks of wild thyme made
deep impressions on his soul.: Of thi.se Lo
afterwards painted such beautiful piclures,
but he was no mere dreamer fit only "to pore
upon the brook that babbles by." We
have no doubt that when the daily tasks were
done, in the free grammar school of Stratford,
he might often be seen em Avon banks, rod
in hand, thinking more of trout and dace than
viokts and wild thyme.
There can be no doubt that he received his
entire education at the free grammar school at
Stratford. As to the precise character and
amount of this there has been much dispute;
some writers claiming on the evidence of his
works, lhat he must have had a thorough
classical education, while others represent him
as probably destitute of any such youthful
advantage. We can however surmise that
his days of preparatory study ended early, as
he married at the age of eighteen. His
bride, Anne Hathaway, was eight years older
"than her husband. How he was employed
after he had left school before he went to Lon
don it is impossible to make out with dis
tinction. One tradition informs us that he
served as apprentice to a butcher, another
story has it that he acltd for some years as a
teacher, and also that he spent some of his
lime in an attorney's office . He may have
killed an odd calf or sheep, have taught an
occasional class for his former master, and
have driven the quill over many yards of yel.
low parchment; tho very existence of three
dideient 6torics implies that his life was
changeful and undecided. The future poet,
it is said while out on a noctural poaching ex
pedition in a neighboring deer park was
caught by the keeper and kept' for the night
a prisoner, and in the morning arraigned be
fore a justice of peace, and whatever punish
ment followed awoke the anger of the boyish
pcet, who in revenge wrote some punning
rhymes upon the owner of the park and
stuck them upon the park gate. The knight s
rage grew so violent that Shakspeare had to
flee from Stratford. Some modern authorities
discard this with scom, yet we have perhaps
a ground work of truth sufficient to afford a
strong belief that his opening manhood was
wild and riotous.
In 1586, he went to London and there be
gan that wonderful theatrical life of twenty
six yepVrs. Here loo there are vague traditions
of his life. According to one, he was call
boy and according to another held horses at
the heat re door. However he may have
earned his first shillings in London, it is cer
tain he soon became very prosperous; at once
dramatist, actor, and share holder in the Black
Fnarr Theatre. As dramatist, his magnificent
powers were at once recognized and in no
long time had won for him the very foremost
rank among the writers for the stage ot his
time. The plays of Shakspeare, so far as the
battling of critics has agreed upon, number
thirty-five of which there are II tragedies, 1 4
comedies and 10 histories. It is supposed that
he quitted the stage finally in 1604, and pre
vious to the year 1613 he had ceased to reside
in London and established himself in Stratford.
Of his last years there spent, further than that
tijey iapsC(i peacefully and iu honor, nearly
nothing is known. - He expired on his birth
day April 23, 1616, aged 52 years; having
secured, during his comparatively short life,
an eternity of fame.
lie was buried with his ancestors on the
norlh side of the chancel in the great church
of Stratford.
A Coach Hide on Roberta Create.
Last Thursday evening a goodly number of.
happy young folks were operating a stage
coach by way of each person representing some
ceitam part of the coach etc. While jogging
along at a lively rate a great calamity occurred.
Now to make a long story short, will say that j
one of the party represented a wheel, another
being handsome, represented a bandbox. The
I driver sat cheerfully in his seat pulling the
uncs. miss a., owner 01 me bandbox, in
shifting her seat dropped it, and it went kerflop
off to one side, the team flew away with fright
the driver braced himself, a line broke and on
making a short turn the stage upset and a
wheel came off, made two or three tremcft"
dious bounces and fell kerslam right in the
bandbox, the wheel laid there only a second
when it picked' itself up and went bounding on,
No one was hurt however, and to the aston
ishment and sui prise of those standing by
found that the bandbox was not hurt and only
looked a little red. It was impossible to re
place the wheel or uplift the coach so the "jig''
was up. Soon they were all to turn home
ward, some on foot, others on horseback with
out saddles. The most noticeable feature was
Miss B. and Mr. W. on foot splashing the
slough. It is needless to say that Miss B. has
had a severe cold ever since.
