The sign published at the Oregon school
for the deaf and dumb, has the following:
"Many of our pupils bad Lever Seen any
blind pupils until recently, when school
opened in the new blind school which now
stands immediately in front ot our school
building. While somewhat amusiop, it
was yet touching to see how the pupils of
the diStreot schools wjuld express their
sympathies for the other more auforta
nate(?) class. Each feel that they have the
decided advantage over the other; the blind
being-able to talk and receive iastruutiou in
that way; enjoy music, audible conversa
tion, etc. and the mates being able to see,
move with rapidity, and tujiy nature.
While we have our opinion which is the
most fortunate class, believing, in .this case
that ignorance is bliss, we shall not expre-s

Mysterious Find. '
Brownsville Times: la the immediate
vicinity of tbe farm dwelling of Lincoln
Kit k," situated a few milei est of Snnth
Brownsville, there was lately found the
partial remains of a human skeleton; a'si
tbe partially destroyed movement of a Swiss
lever watch. The discovery ot the e re
mains, consisting of a number of human
bones, has created much comment, and
many surmises have been indu'ge.1 in as to
how they came to b9 in that location and to
whom they belonged It is not known
that any person has disappeared in this tac
tion fir many years, or that any human re
mains hive rx en disturbed in their legiti
mate resting place, aod probably this
ghastly find will remain one of the unsolved
mysteries. '

Dufob, Out. 18, 1894.
Times-Mountain EEs.
The "personal explanation" of Dr. Die
trich in your issue of Tusesy received and
translated. It you will allow me just one
line of Litio to cast back at his devoted
head I will append the translation aud not
offend again; "Lopuendum tit valgus, senti
r.ndum ut doeti:" (we should speak as the
common neonle. we should think as the
learned. )
I never mentioned any one in connection
with anv rheumatic attack at a convenient
time do not know iust what would be
called a convenient time ta have rheuma
tism, and had not the learned M. D. at
once fitted the shoe to himself no one would
have connected him in any manner with it.
If this "contemDltted insinuation or
"mnddv inference" as he .termed it, did
him no injury why rush into print about it.
why compare my poor forU.ru broking purse
and my little wad of brains to his gigantic
financial losses while hobbling around on
one leg for a couple of days. Bat there is
one great consolation for taking his own es
timation of th i value of myself, brains and
all as the sum total of his great lots it can
not possibly more than cripple his building
speculations for the tim;.
But what call wast bore for an explana
tion at all more than a little more free ad
vertising of his superiority over ordinary
beincs such as this littla world of ours is
crowded with? why aa ir. not written in
plaia, common, everyday language when he
knew he possessed the only volume of 'Latin
quotations vi Uufur? ihere is but one
theory that I can to v advance and that i
based on the fact that there are men who
cannot tell the truth in English, and It is
very straining on them to tell it in any
language. Now I don't want to bs mis
understood in this matter I don't say Dr.
Dietrich cannot tell tba truth in English,
because after a six months acquaintance I
must confess tbat 1 never heard him make
the slightest attempt to do to.
So far as his statement that hfs energy in
the direction of building a distillery or
brewery originated in Keuo's imagination is
concerned, and bis virtuous denial of ever
encouraging such a wicked enterprise, J. can
prove by snv number of reliable citizens of
Dufur that be spent most of bis time for
weeks boasting of the certainty of his sue
cess in establishing a distillery or brewery
in Pufur. There was no crime in his efforts
in that direction, I only mentioned them
as news items and that they were still on
paper. The learned M. P. acknowledges
that is so. Where was my wrong? To be can
did in the matter. I would much sooner
patronizs either of them titan s hospital
which he assutes me will materialize, sod in
fact, if he has aceidently stumbled uato the
truth and "my hart is full to ove:flow.nj!
with brewery"! uea'c believe I would care
for the hospital at a'l unless where there
was such au institoti a counected with it,
As to improving "Webster ana using
the word "our" paregorieally causing the Dr
to search out a four line statzi with two
lines of Latin in it to express his slyice,
I have do apelof? to make. I wanted a
word tbat was soothing and at the same
t me harmless if taken in broken doses. (
wanted to use this word in the same sense
."Uncle Tom" used it, kind of soothingly as
if I was personally interested. Paregoric is
pf a sopthing and at the same ti ne harm
less nature, si f just added a few letters to
kill the tnste-mde a paregor.'c -mixture
pleasaut to take as it were, aud after look
ing at the new word complete, an 1 noting
bow well it expressed my meaning, I acti -
ally shed tears lor to think how proud old
Webster would have been to have cap
tured this to put with hia otljer expressive
words.
Just think my Dear. Dr. D how the
spirit of the d 'parted Webster must wipe
away great pearly tears when it looks opon
your Personal Explanation, aod nda he bad
not left words enough in the English lan
guage to express the thoughts of your mas
sive brain in a thirty-five line article. Dou't
stop on my account Dr. I have sent for a
Latin book. Kefo.
named Alfred "Wright died from a surgi
cal operation performed on lum by Drs.
Giles and Minkler. The operation was
performed on Wright against his wishes,
pnd Mr Nplson waited on him during
his last illness. Dr. Giles has been con
victed of the crime of manslaughter and
is now serving a term in the penitenti-
nrv. and Dr. Minkler is now on trial for
the tame offense. Mr. Nelson was the
principal witness for the state, and has
been again subpoenaed to give testi
mony. The captain says the Salvation
Army barracks adjoined the residence of
Mr. Wright, and the old gentleman was
a particular friend of his. When the

Horrible Ileal i,.
" Word reached this city v ester Jay, say
the Salem Mobsman, the horrible
death of a Mrs. Soule, near Marquam
Clackamas county, Weelnesday evening
It appears the lady, -who is about
years of age, was dm ing a horse and
buckboard, that the t jiimal from some
cause ran away, ana the woman's cloth
ing was caught in orte of the wheels, by
which she was dray.n from her seat and

A Peculiar and Beautiful Curiosity la tha
Wlds of Michigan.
Kitchi-ta-Kipi. or the big spring of
the Chippewas, ia really one of the
wonders of Michigan, if not of the
entire northern country. Kitobi-ta-Kipi
is nearly circular in form and
nearly 200 feet in diameter. It is 65
feet deep a great bowl of water
clear as air and green as emerald.
hen the sun shmes and the wind
does not ripple the surface of the wa
ter, at least six distinct shades of
green, varying from the lightest to
the darkest, are to be seen. It is as
serted that under favorable condi
tions all . the prismatic ravs are re
flected.
The water is so clear that a penny
or a uime or even a pin may be
watched in its flight to the bottom,
and once there a peculiar property of
magnifying possessed by the spring
makes the article look several times
its real size. The grains of sand can
be plainly seen at the bottom, and
the places where the water boils in
at the bottom look like so many small
craters. There are dozens of places
where the water bursts in, and they
vary in size from the diameter of a
dollar to three feet. In formey days
many dollars' worth pf silver coins
were thrown upon the altar of the
spirit of the spring, but in these times
visitors are obliged to be content with
throwing pieces of tin into the trreat
depths. Gnarled trunks of cedars
project into the sprins-. These ara
draped with mosses in, the most fan
tastic manner, all, iq ihe. brightest

Many interesting legends are told
of Kitchi-ta-Kipi. One is that there
were two brave suitors for the hand
of a beautiful Indian princess, in a
tribe located manv mils fmm tlm

In different industries different

That is, in the calling which demands

are heavy consumers of meat, as com

Even in the iron industry the Ger

On the other hand, the latter con

A Time for Reflect! m.
This is the season for a poetic imageryr
Tbe frost of autumn has tinged tbe fol
iage with most beautiful tints, and tbe
ar is calm and peaceful as a dream of
paradise and heaven. Like tbe evening
ot a well spent life nature seems to be
preparing for a delightful rest from weary
toil. The stream flows sluggish through
glen and forest, and tbe falling leaves
seem symbolic of tbat time when ' the
brain shall grow tired of thought, and the
honest, generous impulses of tbe heart
shall seek rest and rewards in God's eter- I
Dal heaven. In spring nature is active
in tbe sprouting blade of grass, tbe bud
ding flower and in vegetation breaking
through tbe crust of mother earth. Dar
ing summer tbe activity of growth and
development continues. Tbe . tiny blade
grows to tbe stalwalt stalk, the twig to
tbe giant of the forest, tbe spring sends
forth lta rivulet to wander through mead-'
ows green with tbe blush of constant life;
but when autumn cornea, tbe heart of na
ture beats slower, tba blood flows slower
and all - animated creation seems
tired and desirious of change. It is a
time for cogitation ; for reverie and re
form ; when one may turn over tbe pages
of an ill or .well spent lile, and count tbe
foot tails and slips that have happened in
a checkered, career. Jf life iq the line of
giod purposes and noble resolves, will re
new itse.figain after a season of repose
and retrospection, then autumn gcomes
not in yaiu, and the lessons tought will
have a beneficial effect upon all In the fu

Saturday afternoon a distressing accident
occurred in the vicinity of Love Orove.
Mr. Q. Patjed and son of Grass Valley were
on their way to Biggs, each with a load of
wheat. While thev were watering at the
spring tbe elder Patjsn's team took fright
and started to ran. The yeucger man at
tempted to Btop them by grabbing the lines
as they passed him, and in some itnaccount-
ble way was drawn nnder the wagon.
Two wheels passed over his body, breaking
aeverbl ribs, crushing bis shoulder, and
causing iuternal injuries. He was at once
transferred to tbe home of Mrs. Love where
he received every attention. Drs. Beers
and Barnes were eummoned, but bis in
juries were of such n natnre that little con'd
be done tor him, and early Sunday rcoraiug
he passed into the beyond.

Ashantee Sacrifices.
"The most savage and horrible of
all the barbarous customs of the
Ashantees in Africa," said Professor
W. G. Steadman of Washington, "is
that of celebrating the death of a
king or great noble by a sacrifice of
other lives. Indeed almost; al of
their anniversary rites are attended
by a holocaust of human peinfirs
raey Deiievo tia$t wtnen a King or a
noble dies he must have wives and
slaves in the next world, just as he
naa in tans, and in order that these
may not be wanting the simpla ex
pedient is resorted to of killing his
wives and slaves and sending them
after him. Rude and bloody ceremo
nies mark the practice of this cus
tom, which are continued for about
week, Strange to say, numerous
yolunteers are always found who are
not only ready but anxious to be of
fered up in honor of a dead king."

comes back. What do you pay her,

The Goat Isn't Appreciated.
The relations of the goat to man
kind are in certain ways peculiar.
The creature has long been subju
gated, probably having come into the.
human family before the dgyrn of
history. . It has beeij almost as wide'
1'y disseminated, among barbarian
and civilized peoples alike, as the
sheep. It readily cleaves to the
household and exhibits much more
intelligence than the other members
of our flocks and herds. It yields
good milk, the flesh is edible, though
in the old animals pot savory, and
the hair cap be made to vary in a.
larger measure than any of our ani
mals which are shorn. Yet this crea
ture has never obtained the place in
relation to man to which it seems en
titled. Scribner's.

A New Use For Natural Can.
The possibilities of natural gas evi
dently have not ret been exhausts
The latest use which would seem to
nave Deen round for it ia. the making
ui. ux, tue juea pemg to simply ex
pand the gas from its. usually high
mitiaVpressure down to or near that
of the atmosphere, nature havin
done all the preliminary work of
compression and cooling, making the
gas ready to absorb heat from its
surroundings immediately upon be
ing released from confinement. All
that- would be necessary would be
Biuiauie cons qv onanioers into which
the gaa could be allowed to exnand.
It has been calculated out quite
plausibly in fact, that with an ordi.
nary gas well, furnishing 1,500,000
cubic teet per day, something like 50
tons of ice coulq be turned out daily
t an expense or aDout au cents a ton.
The gas loses nothing butitspres
sure, retaining all its calorific value.
and hence all its virtue for rolling
mill and glass works use, for heat
ing brick, lime and .pottery kilns and
the endless number of other furnaces
to which U is adapted. In a certain
way, therefore, the gas may be re
garded as affording something for
nothing a desideratum to which
many in this world are constantly
looking forward. Cassier'a Maga.-
