Grand Kapidu, Mich., Dec. 13. This morning James MacDouuld, a farmer in township of Tyrone, upoD returning home from ahnntinn; expedition, was hnrrioed to find the dead body of his wife, : he havius been straosrled to death. Further investigation resulted in finding the dead body of his farm band, a man named Gilmore. in a grove near by, with frightful woujd in his chest, inflicted by an old musket. It is believed Gilmore, during the absence of MacDouald, tried to induce His. MacDonald to elope with bim, and angered by her refusal, first strangled her and then shot himself. Colusa, Cal., Dec. 13. Tbis afternoon the river is falling and the weather clear. The danzer is thought to. be over. Last night tbe levee on J. R. Tolman's ranch south of town on tbis side of tbe river, broke, and water has' been rushing through ever since. Tolman's family are in Colusa. His loss by the flood will be 2000, Most of the farmers south of here have brought their live stock to Colusa, Some persons who went down the river a couple of miles this morning lound most ot tbe ranchers aoiLg cnores in boats. One farmer named John Sullivan was found in bis bouse all right, but be bad no boat and could not get oai, as water was four to six feet deep in.tbe bouse and vard. His horses aud cattle were on top ol tbe hay stacks. There is no possible way of estimating tbe dam age yet. MORE CRUEL THAN THE SAVAGE. Zanzibar, Dec. 13. Minor Pinto, the Portuguese leader, has announced 1ns in tention to subdue tbe whole country to Nyassa, and has written to all English residents to place themselves under Por tuguese protection or be will not be re sponsible for the consequences. Mozambique advices are to tbe enect that Pinto, after deceiving British Consul Johnston by declaring peaceful intentions, obtained reinforcement in Mozambique and proceeded to the Makololo country. On the border ot that country be lormed a large entrenched camp, picked a quar rel and declared war on the Makololos, sod slaughtered hundreds of them with his Gatling guns and captured two En glish flags. -onors for Zanzibar's buler. TLj sultan of Zanzibar will on Monday be presented with tbe insigna of tbe Eng lish of St. Michael and St. George, and tht iriend cross of the German order ol the lied Eagle. All the available British war are arriving here for the pur pose of giving eclat to the occasion.' OFATTLK WOMAN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE. vttle, Dec. 13. An attempt at ?uic:-.it: by drowning was made here this ufteruoon by Mrs. Drawaick, a Boheman woii.jQ. She waded out into the harbor at the foot of Depot street, ducked her bead under the water and buld it there some lime. She was seen by two meD, who shouted at her aud then started for a boat to row out. In the meantime tbe woman bad floated beyond her depth, but I was kept from sinking by her dress , spreading out. When tbe men reached ber she was nearly drowned. They pulled her aboard the boat and took ber to her house near the shore. She soon revived and immediately asked for ber child. She expressed penitence to tbe neighbors for her rash act. It was learned from the neighbors tbat she bad constant trouble with ber husband, who treated ber cruelly and made life a burden. - FIRE IN A HOTEL. New Orleans, Dec. 14, 2:10 A. M. Fire broke ont at 2 A. M. in the Allen bouse 769 St. Charles street. There were a nninber of boarders and lodgers in the house. Ttey escaped in night clothing, leaving everything behind "them. Tbey escaped by jumping out on the roof of an adjoining building. Some of those who escaped were badly hurt. Tbe fire is burning fiercely, and it is feared all the inmates have not escaped. Frederick Rand, an actor belonging to tbe Nellie McHenry theatrical company, escaped with a number of ladies of tbe troupe from tbe bnining building, but was himself badly hurt and sent to the hospital. Thomas O'Neal, colored, jumped from tbe burning building and was badly hurt, and sent to the hospital. W. H. Leitel and wife were among the theatrical par ty who escaped. MOUNTED WITH A FIRM STEP. Empire City, Or., Dec. 13. John Gil man, who murdered Mrs. Etenhover and child, was banged to-day in tbe jail jard. He mounted tbe scaffold at 1 o'clock with a firm step, murmured a few indistinct words, and bid the crowd farewell. Death was instantaneous. SPOKANE MURDER TRIALS. Spokane Falls, Dec. 13. The trial of Mike Liebold for the murder of Thomas Fallon on tbe night of May 24, 18S7, was concluded last night. The jury stayed out all night and brought in a verdict of not guilty tbis morning. A jury was impaneled in the bkcels murder trial this afternoon. Mrs. Skeels shot her husband, C. W. Skeels, March 1, 1889, because of jealnusv. Examination of witnesses will begin in tbe morning. TiTE LUNATIC CONDUCTOR'S LATEST FREAK. San Francisco, Dec. 13. James K, Arnold, the lunatic who took possession of an Oregon tiain at Pendleton a short time ago aod ran amuck with a dirk, appeared before tbe commissioners of insanity to-day. His face was covered with a number of clippings from news papers. He bad glued tbe clippings to bis face and presented tbe appearance of a dime museum freak. He was sent to the Napa insane asylum. THE THRONE TOTTERS. London, Dec. 15. It is asserted that the West End scandals," as they are called, may result in upsetting hot onty royalty in the kingdom, but also the rule of the privileged classes as well. In other words, tbat they will end in bringing about speedily a republic upon the ruins of the present monarchy and house of lords. The fact that Prince Albert victor. eldest son of tbe Prince of Wales, and therefore heir to tbe British tbionc, is connected with these scandals, and either personally and criminally, as is freely charged, or as is officially admitted, by the connection with them of bis intimate friends, of course make their political ef fect most momentous. It is the opinion of practically every thoughtful man in the kingdom tbat when tbe scandals lire fully inquired into by parliament and all the frightful details become public property, either Prince Albert Victor will be deprived of succes sion, a proceeding almost impossible of conjecture or tbat Queen Victoria will be officially declared ibe last monarch of Great Britain, and that a republic will immediately succeed upon ber death MASSACRE OF SIBERIAN EXILES. London, Dec, 15. Reports have been received bere of tbe massacre of Siberian exiles. The alleged party of exiles hav ing hesitated contrary to orders in regard to the withdrawal of a petition, were at tacked by police and soldiers. Six were shot dead, including a young woman, and nine were wounded. A court-martial condemned those of tbe survivors to death and others to long terms of imprisonment. One of tbe wounded was carried to tbe gallows on a bed, when a noose was ad justed and the bed removed. Friends of tbe victims declare tbis to be the woist case in Siberian records. SHE BROUGHT HIM TO TIME. Paris, Dec. 15. Tbe announcement is made that Prince Murat has capitulated and tbat be and Miss Caldwell are soon to be married. Prince Murat has prom ised to be satisfied with whatever Miss Caidwell might see fit to allow bim. an interview he expressed much admira tion for ber independence of character, and said be was charmed to know tbat be had found a woman who knew enough to so carefully look after ber own inter ests. He knew, he said, that after once wedded, Miss Caldwell would never per mit her husband placed in any position, regarding finances, tbat would prove em barrassing to bim or would reflect upon ber liberality in anyway. MRS. THURMAN VERY ILL, Columbus, O., Dec. 15. Mrs. Judge Tburman has taken very mnch to heart the conduct of her daughter at San Diego, Cal. The wide publicity of the alfait and Mrs. Cowles's marriage immediately after securing a divorce have so preyed upon Mrs. Thurman's mind that ber condition is critical. The first news of tbe fact tbat her daughter's second husband is said to be a bigamist came to Columbus people on f nuav. The Inurman family are afraid that, should Mrs. Thurman hear of tbis last and worse news of all, tbe result might be serious. Allen Tburman has personally requested tbe daily papers not to publish the matter out of respect for tbe family, which is held in very high esteem here. None of them have printed anything about it. Judge Thurman takes the matter philosophically. A TERRIBLE DISASTER. Tttusville, Pa , Dec. 15. Three sepa rate glycerine magazines exploded tbis morning at North Clarendon, about seven miles above Warren. Ibe amount of gl veer ine exploded was over ten tons. The explosion set fire to two 25,000-bar- rel tanks full of oil belonging to the Na tional Transit Company. They are still burning and will be total losses. Several oil derricks and small wooden houses also burned. Nearly every window In Clar endon was broken and much damage was done to surrounding property. The loss is estimated at $100,000. FRANKLIN B. GOWEN'S SUICIDE. Philadelpaia. Dec. 15. The remains f Franklin B. Gowen, who committed suicide in Washington, reached this city this morning, and were at once conveyed to'hia residence at Mount Airy, near Ger mantown. The funeral takes place Tues day. It is said Mrs. Gowen told aclose friend ot tbe family that for ten days previous to. her husband's last visit to Washington she had noticed something strange in bis conduct. It is thought by many bere that tbe great lawyer's mind became unbalanced through too presist- ent application to business, and his sui cida was due to this cause. TRAINS DELAYED BY WASHOUTS. Los Angeles. Dec. 15. Trains on the Southern Pacific due from San Francisco this morning and this afternoon have not arrived at a lute hour to-night. Tbe de lay is caused by a washout near Lans'd. Tbe train for San Francisco which left here late last night returned this morning bringing the passengers of one of the tied up trains. It is reported that the train from the north due this morning went in to a washout at Lang's, and two Pullmans jumped tbe. track. No passengers were injured. SANDY OLDS, GETS A NEW TRIAL. oalem, UR.,Dec. 10 in the supreme court to dav the case of the state of Ore gon, respondent, vs. Charles Olds, appel lant, on appeal from Multnomah county, was decided. Tbe judgment of the lower court was reversed and the case remand ed for a new trial. Tbe opinion is writ ten by Judge Strahan, Chief Jastice Thuyer concurring and Judge Lord dis senting. The court held that in a criminal case the district attorney has a right to cross- examine a witness for the defendant as to bis interest in the result of a trial, to en able the jury to pass upon the credibility of the witness; but the evidence offered must correspond with the allegations and be confined to tbe point at issue, exclud ing evidence of collareral facts incapable of raisings reasonable presumption of the principal material tact. Defendant had called Thomas Williams, who bad known defendant and deceased, Emil Weber, for five years, and he testi fied tbat the latter, speaking of his eye, which had been injured in a previous fight with Olds, said : "I am pretty near ready for another battle, and it will not be a fist fight this time. He can lick me me in a fast fight, but I will have no fist fight next time. I will just kill tbe s of a b ; that is wbat I will do with bim." The witness know the reputation of the men, and was allowed by the conrt, against otj"Ction, in answer to questions of the state's attorney, to give tue names and amounts contributed to the defense by tbe gamblers of Portland aod tbe Sound cities. All tbis might prejudice the jury. The lower court did not err in refus ing to charge that the brass weight offer ed by the defendant was a dangerous weapon. That depended upon the abil ity of Weber to use it,and was a question exclusively for the jury. The judgment is reversed and tbe cause remanded to the court below for a new trial. IT WAS TO A FINISH. Butte, Dec. 16.- -Between 7 and 8 o'clock this evening, John Gallagher died in his house, from the effects of injuries received from G. H. Ward, in a brutal fist fight that took place on Sunday morning. Tbe cause of tbe fight was a dispute over a trifling account. Immigration statistics. From January 1 to November 30, the number of callers at the Portland Board of immigration rooms was 32,678. The secre tary in his report says: These figures indi cate a very large immigration to our state. It should be borne in mind that the number f callers at the board rooms does not by ny means include the entire influx to the state. We have heretofore figured the pro portion ot callers at about one-fifth of the whole. Estimating on tbis basis we have as an actual immigration for the 11 months of this vear the astonishing number of 163,- 300, or an increase of the corresponding period of last year of 73,9od. Allowing a liberal percentage for those who came and went back, and for transient "lookers," we mav safely figure that we have had an act ual settlement Z'a our state during the year of 100,000. A Fine Band. The noon aud evening concerts given by the "Postage Stamp" band yesterday, had a creat deal to do with influencing the o patronage of the opera house last evening. The thirteen men in tbe band are all attists, and eaoh one ft them is worth two ordinary performers. It was the opinion of compe tent musicians who beard them that they fnrniahed better music both in character and execution, than any bund of similar tvroDortion seen in our city. Burlington Hawk-Eye. At Armory Hall, one night only.ec. 21, 18S9. It Takes Two to Make a Pair, And that's what't the matter with Maier & Benton. There's two of them attending to business from "esrly morn to dewy eve. Blood will tell, so it is said, and we believe it, young blood, especially. The slow go ing merchant can'tcompete with the superior onarorv and pet nD. and enercetic vim of vnn th There is something else that will tell with the public, and that is good goods and low prices, all of which yon ill find in ahnndance at the young grocery firm of Maier & Benton, known as the Bed Front. Give them a call in trade and they in re turn will give you a bargain. DECEMBER 21, 1889.. MURDER IN COLFAX The Town in the Greatest t RUSSELL ALSO IS IN GREAT DANGER. Sheriff Guarding Prisoners with the IS Greatest Vigilance. A Farmar (Shot Dead on the Streets and Three Others Wounded Threats Hade to Lynch the Prisoners. Special to the Ttmes-Houktaxkker. Walla Walla. Dec. 17.- At 9 :30 A. M.at Colfax yesterday Ben Blanton. who hvea at Lone Pine, while going to court to answer the charge of assault with a deadly weapon on an old man named Braden, seeing tbe witnesses who were to appear against him standing in a crowd opened fire with a revolver, shooting at oooii iraaen ana inos. Hick, and kill ing D'lick instantly and woundinrr Braden in me arm ana also wounding J. H. Ben nett and John Dova!, the latter very ser iously. Blanton fired so rapidly that none couia interfere to prevent bim until be bad emptied his gun. Flick lived 20 minutes, and was shot through the left shoulder and lungs, tbe ball passing inrougu me nearc. Just as be died bis wife, who was with him, raised up tragically and called uuon the people around ber to avenge tbe mur der of her husband. This made the crowd furious, and a movement was made toward tbe jail where Blanton was immediately hurried after the shooting by the deputy sheriff and others who wit nessed the tragedy, and only tbe most persuasive counsel and the cool heads of prominent citizens prevented the at tempted rescue of the murderer then and there. The sheriff immediately cilled on the citizens to assist him in defending the prisoner as he believed if the jail became in possession of the infuriated crowd, they would hang Russell also, who is canfined there for the murder of Daniel Cauty. Blanton on the way to town before the killing said be did not expect to livelong anyway, ana mat tne witness would not live longer than be did. Blanton, the murderer, is a desperate character, hav ing served 13 years in the penitentiary in California and Oregon, and takes a fear ful brutal delight in crime, re&ardless of the consequences, caring little for bis own worthless existence. Flick leaves a wife and one vounr child. The rest of the wounded men are farmers who live near Oakesdale, where the assault was committed for which Blanton was to answer. It is believed that if additional strength arrives to-day and capable learders are found, the excited people will yet attack the jail and rescue Blanton. For fear ot attack Sheriff McLean last night had Rus sell and the other murderer moved to a place of safety. Yesterday morning a trotion for a change of venue in Russell's case was denied. It Is believed that Russell can not escape a verdict of murder in the first degree. The lriends of Daniel Canty, killed by Russell, say Le shall never leave Whitman county alive, as h'a murderinir Canty was most unprovoked and uncalled for. Altogether tbe state of affairs in the vicinity of Colfax is wrought to the high est pitch ot excitement. New develrpe meuts are momentarially expected. E. ESI OP THE CHICAGO TitlAi. THE PRISONERS BROUGHT IN. Chicago. Dec. 16. The door leadiosr from the jail opened and the five defend ants marched in to receive the announce ment of their fate. Hardly a sound was beard as every eye. in the audience turned toward John P. Beggs, who led the pro cession. The face ot the senior guardian of Camp 20 was pale and anxious-looking. out ne iacea tne stare ot tbe audience boldly. Every prisoner simultaneously turned his eyes npun the jurors, as if to read in their impassive features the secret of the verdict. But there was no sign to give them hope or fear. '-Gentlemen," said the court. "I under stand you have reached a conclusion in this case." With a bow Foreman Clarke took from his pocket a large envelope and handed it to the iudge. who in turn handed it to the clerk. . THE VERDICT. The verdict of the jury was then read. as follows: We, the jury, find the defendant, Jobn F. Beggs not guilty. We, the jurv, hud tbe defendant. John Kunze, guilty of manslaughter as charged in the indictment, and fix the punish ment at imprisonment in tbe penitentiary for tbe term of three years. We, tue jury, find tbe defendants. Dan iel Coughlin, Patrick O Sullivan and Martin Burke, guilty of murder in the manner and form as charged in the in dictment, and fix the penalty at- im prisonment in the penitentiary for the term of their natural lives. At the request of the defense the jury was then polled and reaffirmed tbe ver dict. MRS. coughlin's borrow. When the verdict was read this after noon Dan Coughlin's wife and little girl were sitting out in the main corridor of the criminal court building. Some one rushed into the corridor and called out the result. Mrs. Coughlin gasped, stood erect, shrieked and fell back into the chair. She buried her face in her bands and moaned wildly. The child, too began to cry loudly. Mrs. vviialt-n, O'bnlli van's sister-in-law. was standing by and turned savagely up on tbe men who were watcbiug Mrs. Coughlin. "Oh, you cut throats,! You tried your beat to hang them, and now you hang around to gloat at us in our misery' she shouted and then followed Mrs. Coughlin into a private roon. Boberinf op a Drunken Han. If you have ever been out with a friend who has been drinking too much and you, sober and unwilling to leave bim until yon get bim borne, are iriing tn persuade bim to start for bis house, then you will appreciate tbe situation in which I iouuu niyselt nut long ago. l could do m thing with my companion, and be was rapidly getting helplessly intoxicated. The drnuaer be got tne more obstinate he became. Finally 1 took bim in to an all-night restaurant, hoping that a cup of hot coffee would partly sober him. By tbe time the coffee came my friend was sound asleep with his head on tbe table. I was in despair, wbea tbe waiter asked me if I wanted to get tbe man sober. 'Why, certainly I do," I said. He took a bottle of sweet oil from a table and poured a gill of it into one of the cups of coffee. "Make luru arink that," said he, aud walked off. I roused my friend and induced bim to dnnk tbe whole cup of coffee without stopping. Tbe effect was magical. I never saw any medicine act so quickly. In ten minutes be spoke clearly, braced up, got ashamed ot himself and started home. I bad never beard before of sweet oil as a soberer. ITEMS IX BRIEF. From Saturday Daily. Gov. Pennover is in the city. We acknowledge a pleasant call. Protracted meetings have been continued during the past week at the Methodist church. The lots in the Military Reservation yes terday sold for S76, SSI and S100. They were purchased a few years ago for $10 apiece. The snow of Thursday night has nearly all disappeared from our sidewalks, and the freezing last night made walking anything out agreeauie. The Christmas festival is approaching. and let us in chanty remember those who are not blessed with a goodly portion of this world's goods. Snow-balling has not been indulged in bv our boys to any great extent. The mild weather last winter spoiled the sporting element in tne make-up of our boys. The arc lights show with their usual brightness last night, after nearly two weeks of nocturnal darkness. These were as welcome as sunshine after a storm. Tbe examination of Wesley Harris, before lxI. JLang yesterday, resulted in the de fendant's beirjg bound over in the snm of S200 to answer to the next grand jury on a cnarge oi larceny.

Mr. Jones brings the informatian that Owen Conley, teacher in Shiloh district. No. 3, suddenly departed recently, leaving the school without a leader. Conley announced that he was going to attend the teachers' examination at Heppner, but instead took the down train and has not beeu heard of since. X he reasons for his flitting are un known. Blutharch Lewi?, a young man who has lived near Corvalhs all hia life, says the Times, and until very recently in the bar ber business in that city, has been arrested as a highwayman. It is alleged he held up a stage coach in Southern Oregon, and he is now in the hands of the U. S. Marshal. He will be taken to Portland for trial. Plutarch protests his innocence, and says he will be able to prove it. . It is authoritively announced that C. B. Hopkins has sold his system of telephone lines in Washington to a syndicate of gen tleman from San Francisco, that the papers have been made out and signed and the pro perty will be turned over to the purchasers as scon as their company is fully organized and articles of incorporation filed. The sale includes the exchanges at Walla W alia and Colfax, and tbe long line telephone from Walla Walla to Spokane Falls, besides the various branckes in Whitman county. Union Republican: Mrs. Jeannetta Carr McOomas died yeserday morning at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. S. A. Pur sel, after a lingering illness. Mr?. McComas came to Union in 1872 from Iowa, where her husband died 21 years ago. A few hours prior to her death she recalled the fact that it was tbe anniversary of her husband's death, and remarked to her children that she would die that day, pro phecy fulfilled in a brief hours. Mrs. McComas was born Feb. 3, 1S14, and had she lived to her next birthday would have been 76 years of age. She leayes six children to mourn her loss. a Baker Democrat: The driver of the IFor- ley Stage plying between this city and tbe mining districts southwest arrived here yesterday brought the welcome news of-the finding of C. S. Miller, reported to have been lost a few days ago, and tbat gentle man is said to be in good health and able to withstand the coming winter without much trouble or difficulty. The searching party sent out from Granite on snow shoes in quest of Mr. Miller found bim at his log cabin in the greenhorn mountains prepar ing to commence active development of bis valauable mining property and he was greatly surprised to learn that he had been the occasion of their worry and anxiety, and was very thankful that they should take so much interest in his welfare, Tbe news of Mr. Miller's safety is a matter of congratulation among his many friends, not only in tbis city but tbrougout the state. From Monday's Daily. Postage Stamp Saturday night. The Hungarian monk is visiting Albany. Snow and rain is tbe report from Crook county. It looks like snow, and it is wisdom to prepare for winter.

The arc-light pole at tbe intersection of Third and Court streets, will be eighty feet above ground. The weather last night congealed the mud in good shape. The streets can be traveled now without any fear of being swamped. Horace E. Gibb, of Portland, beiDg found guilty of murder in the second de gree, was sentenced to the penitentiarg for the term of his natural life. We have 36 arc lights each of 2000 can dle power, and 800 of 16 candles, making total of 200,000 candle. Our arc lights are superior to any in the state.

He has been canvassing the northwestern country in connection with telegraphic reports. The Ochoco Review says the stock in spector has finished hia fall inspection in that part of the county north of Ochoco and west of Deschutes. He reports having inspected 210,000 bead of sheep, only 17, 875 of which he found to be affected with disease. Skamiah. the chief of the Columbia, called on us yesterday. He is en route to Vancouver, Wash , to interview Geo. Gib bon. Skamiah baa lived in tbis illahe for many years, and recollects the country be fore the Boston man desecrated the land in this vicinity. Ellensburgh Localizer: The change in the weather was quite marked on Thursday, to that of the previous day. The wind moved round to the north during Wednesday night and the ground froze quite hard. It is gen erally surmised that winter is upon us and has come to stay. Ochoco Renew: Uncle Sam's words, the noble red men who reside at the Warm Springs, are said to have killed eighty deer iu four days at one point on the Deschutes since the time has expired for killing deer. If this be true, they should be punithed the same as if they were whites. JT. W. Journal: Our sheriff experience 1 a little danger in taking If.llte Russell back to Colfax for trial. Friends ot tbe mur- dered man tore up the track some distance beyond Snake river, and came very near causing a fearful railroad accident, which was only prevented by slow and careful running. That's a sad case. Pasco is being vilely slandered by the Portland Mercury, evidently through jeal ousy of its rapid growth. It contains an account of a Dutchman who said he went to Pasco to keep his eye cn it, and found a city of tents, but a 8iwash came along and stole the city hall to make a pair of pants, which so disgusted him that he left. We have received from the office of the secretary and controller of the Southern Pa- ci no KA. a pamphlet of sixty-four pages en titled Relations Between the Central Pa cific Railroad Company and the United States Government, printed bv H.

Fossil Journal: An item has occurred in the surrounding papers to the effect that there is talk of dividing Wasco county again, and making Antelope the county seat of the new county. After Wasco let Sherman county off, she was able to reduce her taxes, but as they are vet rather hiirh ana tne county very large in consequence she will probably not be adverse to the scheme of letting off another slice.

When the Northern Pacifij engi neers were locating through Yakima county, Kotiocken and his Indians nulled nn thn locating and grade stakes and it was only dv tne assistance ot the siierin and his posse that they were persuaded to let the stakes remain where they were originally driven. Kotiocken was the son of Kainiocken, the great chief of tbe Yakimas, who led his braves in the wars during the 50 s. Koti ocken was about 45 years of age. Hon. John D. Lee arrived from The Dalles Wednesday evening. That may account for tbe frigidness of our atmoa pbere, as they have been having snow and cool weather at the gateway to the Inland Empire. Dallat Observer. Bro. Snyder take that back. We have had the most enjoyable weather until Thursday evening,' wheu the congealed element fell to a depth of about two inches. The streets the next day were as muldy as those iu Dallas. The present season indicates that Wasco county will have tbe heaviest crops ever harvested. Al. come up to The Dalles next spring, and we will show you the nearest approach to paradise there is anywhere on the crusted surface of the mundane sphere. From Frank C.

I j eight days the grand Christmas festi val will be inaugurated. The ground is frozen hard and if we should have a fall of snow there would be excellent sleigh-riding. The west-bound flyer was several hours late to-day. An accident on the Blue mountains caused tbe delay. Mr. G. W. Miller is laying a terra cotta pipe from his residence on Court to the main sewer down Union street. Dr. Tucker, wife and family left to-day on a visit to their old borne in MoMinnville. They will be absent about two weeks. We can truly boast the best are lights of any city in the northwest, mis is to tne credit of Messsrs, Glenn & Handley, tbe proprietors. The Christmas holidays are coming, and let all fair-miuded men think of the poor and relieve their necessities. It appears to be an unwritten law ot The Dalles that the sidewalks are tor pedes trians in summer, and for the smalt boy for coasting purposes iu winter. The eichtv-feet pole at tbe corner of Court and Third has aroused the ambition of our citizens for poles of the same height in other portions of the city. A. J.

Editor Tura-Uocirratxua: The substantial philosophy teaches that everything in the universe, visible or invis ible, tangible or intangible, corporeal or in corporeal, of .which tha mind can form a positive concept, is substance, or entity, in some form or degree of groraness or attenu. ation. That all the substances of the uni. verse as above expressed, are diviaable into two main departments, to-wit: Material and immaterial, or corporeal and incorporeal, and that while all matter is substance, it by no means follows that all substance is mat. ter, or material The term matter or ma terial only embraces those substances which are ponderable or otherwise susceptible of ehemical or mechanical test, or such as are limited by material conditions. The term substance not only embraces all material things, as above defined, but it includes all immaterial entities, such as oannot be proved to exist by any chemical or mechan ical test. Substance in its immaterial de partment includes every force in nature, physical, vital, mental or spiritual, aud in eludes every form of energy which can posi tively produce a manifestation or motion of sensuous body. The physical forces, such as light, caloric, sound, electricity, gravity, ' etc., are as really substantial or cntitive as tbe air we brcatho or the food w. jut The vital and spiritual forces which are manifested in the vegetable and animal kingdoms, and which actuates all living and thinking organie beings, ore as really sub stantial as are the beings and organisms thus actuated and moved. The vital and mental forces in an animated being which must exist in order to move it. are as vr. i table substantial entities as are the wat er, fire and steam in tbe locomotive which moves the engine and causes it to nprf.irm iU work. It teaches that all these imma terial forces, physical, vital, mental and spiritual are coeteinal with God; constitutes is immediate environments, surroandinirs. or attributes from which and in whose lal ratory he synthesized all things visible. It teaches that there is complete harmony be tween science and revelation: hence tha texts: Heb. 11th, 3d. We understand that tha worlds were framed by the word of God. to that thing i which are anen were not mada of things which do appear. 2d Cor. 4th, lath. fur the things ahich are seen are temporal, but the things a hich are not ie,?n are eternnl. Rom. 1 1th, 36th. For of him and through him and back to him are all things. And now the reader is invited to a com parison of the substantial philosophy as above very briefly set forth to the philosphy taught iu some of our colleges and formu lated by such men as Tyndall Helmholtz, Huxley and Darwin, to-witi That the phy. sical forces such as light, heat, sound, elec tricity, gravity, maguetism, and also the vital and mental forces, such ss life, mind, and spirit, are bat modes of motion among material particles, and not themselves sub stantial entities. They teach that matter or material in some form is all there is in the universe, of a substantial nature, aadt , that what we call vital, mental aud spirit ual force, by which the motions of our bodies are caused, aqd controlled, aod oar thoughts ara shaped, are but the molecular motions of the material brain and nerve particles of the living organism, and that life consists of the motions ot the molecule of tbe brain, and when they cease to move all that is of man is dead; the life, the soul and the spirit cease to exist. Oil the other hand the substantial philosophy maintain that as all thiugt are of God of whom are all things; so all the elemeuts of matter are -but condensations of his exterior nature and not a product of nothing; that physical organisms were condeosed and framed out of that portion of God's omnipresent sub stance suited to such material existences; their vital parts out of a higher, finer grade of God' substantial nature, while tbe ment- -al faculties aud spirit were but drops ont of the higher qualities of God's subttuu.at in telligence and spiritual essence. R. Dress or the Thi -tetntlt Century. Tb Gentleman's Uagaxin. Some interesting information as to tbe dress of tbe later years of the thine nth century may be pinked out of the a ell- known Household Roll of Bishop S in field, (of Hereford.) It records the pur chase of four pieces of linen cloth, called ileyoein, lor iiu os. 8d. These were made up into long garments fr the use of the bishop and his clerk by a tailor, wbo was provided with the necessary ar- tides of binding, linen and thread. Four " pieces and six yards of striped cloth, at a cost of 12 17s. 6d were bought for tbe tunics and cloaks ot th mi ire and ball iffis. Three pieces and four yards of a coarser cloth cost 7 Ills. 11a., were al- . lotted to the serving men, while a still commoner sort, of winch four pitce sod a half were obtained for 8 15s. Od., wss made up from the groom aod page. Tha total expenditure amounted to upward of 50, equal, I suppose, to 700 or 750 at the present value of money. In win ter the bishop purchased, for tbe better produc'ion of his episcopal self, a surtout . of furred skin and a furred cnp. Tbe clothes for summer wear were purchased s at Whitsuntide, were of a lighter texture,.'! and were denominated bluett and russet. These, to, were of different qualities, and the servants were once more clothed in distinctive striped dresses. The cloth of this period had a very long nap so that when the garment was overused the nap could be leshorn, and an air ot newness economically obtained. Ia the reign ot the First Edward the tunic was still ia vogue; it was worn with wide sleeves, which depended to tbe elbow, Tbe super-, tunic (the French gardecora) was also' very generally adopted. Under the Third Edward dress occupied to large extent the attention of tbe wealthier classes, and tbe prevalent ostentation lea to the en actment of no fewer than eight sumptu ary laws. The tunic, or cote-hardie, fit ted close to tho body ; it had tight sleeves, aod scarcely reached the knee, so as not to obscure the view of the embroidered garter which set off tbe manly leg. It was gorgeously embroidered, and from its sleeves hung long slip ot cloth. Tbe peasantry, however, wore no such splen did garments; they were forbidden by law to wear other than breeches of leather and a frock of russett, or undyed wool. The burghers of the town were attired iu dress of similar cut, but finer texture tor it was in tbis respect that tbe sta tut law insisted on tbe graduations of rank and its general effect may be seen in tbe costume still worn by the scholars ot Christ's Hospital. lilies of Various Nations.
