Much is needed to he done at this session, and much is expected of congress, and the lime is none to lonto perform the work entrusted to it to be done. Through carelcssdess in directing letters, 1H,000 of them reached the dead lettei office daily last year. Of the whole ", 000,000. money was found in 17,7f" amounting to Sy,(!87.

Nearly all th money and commercial paper was re turned to the senders. H We shout for the American girl is said that Miss Winslow. an Ameri can girl, took away the breath of all (Curope. It was at Hamburg, when shi! waltzed at a ball. The I'riitco of Wales saw her and sent, his equerry to summon her to a wall, with him. 4 'Convey my regrets to his royal hiijh- iiess, and say that I do not wish to' dance again," was her answer, j "Hut," said the equerry . "are vou ' not aware that the request is a com- I inandi"' "Are you aware" she an-1 Mvcrcd. "that I am an American, and do not obey royal commands?' ' This J ended it, and Europe had a cold chill.

Somewhat more than a year ago A. S. Carpenter, a proof reader on tho Minneapolis ''rihiine. and S. G. Goodsou, conceived the idea that elec tricity might he employed to do the work of type-setting, and finally sub mitted their plans to C. L. Kedlield, i mechanical engineer. He made Mime valuable suggestions and com pleted the drawings. Tho three at once set to work on having the mod els constructed. Theo worked well, and recently a machine was completed. It did tho work perfectly well, and at the astonishing rate of -'00 impressions a minute, or o,000 "ems" an hour against the 1,100 "ems," which (he average compositor can now set. The success of the machine was such that a number of local capitalists were at once interested iu it, and tho Klee'ro Matrix company was incorporated with $1 ,000,000 capital stock. Ex.

Kvery little rumor of war. from Eu- rope, makes the fanners and wheat dealers chuckle, as in their Utopian imaginations they sec their cornuco pias over flowing with the precious metal, it is a ghastly thought, hut, "If there is war iu Europe," says everyone, "price? iu breadstuff are bound to go up, for war in the Old country means prosperous times in the United Mates. Much pressure is being brought to bear on both democratic and repub lican members of congress, against the continuation of Lamar to the su preme judgeship of the United States; not only for the reason that he has been and is now extremely disloyal, out that as a lawyer, he is below a mctliurrr in the profession, and is en tirely incapable and incompetent, for that position of honor and importance. There n'o democrats whose character, loyally and eminence in the legal pro- ! fcsMon entitle them to positions of importance, over thoo whose, legal training has been sadly neglected. TflJi UETTYSnillUi J'AIXT- , IXO. With entire assurance it may be said thai, of the great battle pictures on exhibition in various cities, none sur passes the "(Jettysbnrg, " now com pleted and thrown open to the public iu Portland. Kvery one who has seen this painting and the "Gettysburg" of Chicago pronounces the Portland picture, greatly the superior one. It has a depth that the Chicago painting has not; distance is represented to better advantage; the topography of the lield nas been studied anew for the present picture, anil information ! with the actual situation at the crimes ; of battle. Tho numberjof figures dc j liueated on the canvas is about double j (he number in the painting at Chicago ' and tho whole is brought out with an effect brightened by the experience of a number of years iu painting and ' mounting great, battle pieces. I It is impossible to give the reader j any adequate idea of this great work. 1 No praise call exaggerate it. Every description must fall so tar thort of its (reatness ami merits that, no matter how much one may have heard of it, he is overwhelmed with surprise as this view of it bursts upon him. The ex tent of the picture, the spirit of it, the power that is thrown into the tremen dous scene before him, till the sped i tor with astonishment. And there is so much of it that it may be studied upon repeated visits without exhaust ing the details. In tins painting Portland h.is an at traction that cannot but command the atlentson of the whole Northwest. It is a superb work, excellent both as an historical study and as inspiration of patriotism. Ureijoniun. WAR CLOUDS X JCL'UOl't:. I If warearly iu tho spring is averted, ! otllcial anticipation will bn deceived and military expectation disappointed. Within the pa&t few days it has bo ! come a settled conviction iu diplom it ie circles that the czar's partite tenden tlies have been overborne by the pau Salvish faction , and that he is now ' under the control of tlio war party leaders, some of whom aro likely to ' proeipitato a war by some act of pro ( oration, committed without the czar's , full consent. The return of ("lonornl Von Sch 1 wolniu, Gorman ambassador to St. Poteoburg, was hoped to bo signal j i.ed bv a ducUivo turn of tho tide , poaroward, The coufereueo between , Von Suhweinitz and Do CJiors, the Russian prime minister, recently, had , a contrary result. Whatever passoil i tlurliiL' the intorviuw has deeiiened the distrust iu Uorlin nud increased thu irritation of tho Jtussiau govern uient towards tho car's ministors. )a Giors appear.s to havu abandoned his policy of poaco prossf-uru upon tho czar and to havo thrown his inlluenco upon thu bide of the military party. Ilo U reported as telling Von Seh weinitz that tho czar is bincerely de Biious of peace, but is tinabio to tol erate louir Austrian duplicity in thwarting Russia's ondenvors to ob tain I lie first fruits of her Miciitlcoii in tho llalkan campidgii.

Uu'lgaria, tho papers say. must be deprived of , any shadow of individuality and be come a Russian provenco, while Aus j tria must be forced to evacuate Ilosmia aud llerzegoviuia. An inspired arti : clc iu the Grnshdamn stales that the i Jliissimi government lias obtained , knowledge that the terms of the treaty ! of alliance leaves Germany free, not to interfere unless Austria is threat ened witli a collapse which would in volve territorial losses. This is con trary to the ollicial press of Vicuna and Pcsth , which treats the war ques tion as a common matter between , Austria and Germany. Merlin ofli cial views concur with that of the ', Austrian press. Tho report that count I Von Wolkcnstoin , the Austrian am bassador at .St Petersburg, had rc 1 ccived assurances from Do f tiers that 1 the movements of troops had ceased, is semi-ofiicially denied from Viona. The reassuiing representation would be useless iu the face of facts during the past week. Russian cavalry and light artillery have been pushed for ward to tho extreme outposts. A careful estimate gives Russia eight and a half army corps within the fron tier districts of AVarsaw, Wilna and Kielf, with JU0 field batteries against the combined Austrian and German force of live anil a half army corps, with 8ii Iml'crics. Russia has olso an immense preponderance in cavalry strength. THIRTY-FIVE CENTS A CAN. The Milk-ine Baking Powder, full pound cans, warranted as good as any in the market. For tale at Jones Bros.

Failing Health. Ten years ago my health began to fall. 1 was troubled with a distressing Cough, Night. Sweats, Weakness, and Nervous ness. 1 tried various remedies pre scribed by different physicians, but became bo weak that I could not go up stairs without stopping to rest. My friends recommended mo to try Ayer'fi (Sarsaparilla, which I did, and 1 am now sih healthy and strong as ever. Mrs. li. L. Williams, Alexandria, Minn. I havo used Ayor's Sarsaparilla, in my family, for Scrofula, and know, if it is taken faithfully, that it will thoroughly eradicate this torriblo disease. I havo also prescribed it as a tonic, as well as an alterative, and must say that I honestly believe it to bo tho best blood medicine, ovurconipoundod. W. F. Fowler, M. D., D. D. S Greonvnie.Teun. Dyspepsia Cured. It. would bo impossible for mo to de scribe what. 1 suflercd from Indigestion mid Ileadnchn up to tho time I began taking Aver's Sarsaparilla. I was under tho enro of various idiysicians, and tried a great many kinds of medicines, but never obtained more than temporary re lief. After taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla for a short time, my headacho disap peared, and my stomach performed its duties more perfectly. To-day my health is completely restored. Mary Hurley, Springlield, Mass. I have been greatly benefited by tho prompt uso of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It Jones ami invigorates tho system, regu lates tho action of tho digestive and nssimllatlvo organs, and vitalizes tho Mood. It is, without doubt, tho most reliable blood purifier yet discovered. It.
