Judge Hknky GV.oiwk, who is in England writes home thus: England appreciates the significance of Harrison's election and tho protec tion victory in his couutry. The Tory preys f.vprestca Tory satisfaction over the result, while tho democratic press is not happy, and tho more democratic tho paper tho loss its happinesH. It is a curious fact, and one which Irish Americans who voted for Harrison might profitably consider, that Ireland's bitterest enemies in England aro glad of Harrison's election, while her truest friends there are sorry for Cleveland's defeat, ItKritKEKKTATiVK HoitMAN has in troduced a resolution in congress di recting the (Secretary of tho Interior to report what action if any has been ta ken toward the annulment or cancel lation of patents or lists of fccloction of any part of the land grant to The Dal les .Military Wagon Road Company of Oicgon; and what part, if any, has been restored to sottlemt'iit. Herrman at thosamo time submitted a memorial to congress from the Wiweo county busbies council of tho Patrons of Hus bandry of Oregon, asking for direct forfeiture of tho land grant of The Dal les Military Wagon Road Company. 1'ittvATi; DaijZrli, claims to bo ono of the founders of Iho Grand Army of the Republic, and he has certainly long been recognized as ono of its most prominent aud 'zealous members. It may be presumed therefore, that he not only speaks from knowledge, but authority, wJieu he Hays: "Tho re publican party has no other use for tho O. A. R. than to keep it in power, and tho G. A.

This system is tho suject of several inquiries from correspondents', cays the Philadelphia.

The ballot system in force in this country docs not guarantee secrecy and it requires ballots to bo prepared by private or party enterprise- and ser ved at ovory poll. Tho latter requisite i akufl it utterly impossible to "run n m candidate unlo.-s ho is hacked by an or- ganization large enough or with money enough to havo a man at each polling place with his ballots. Under the Aus tralian systom the ballots are printed by the state, and all candidalos nomi nated a certain time boforo tho election appear on these ballots, and no other can boused. Instead of having a sop arato ballot for each candidate, all the candidates for ono office aro on tho same ballot, and each voter marks his choice in a loom by himself. Tho re sult is that no one can know how he votes, and in sonio election laws under this system tho voter is prohibited from telling. how ho voted under pen alty, so as to reliovo him from pressure he might not bo able to resist. The j vry farmer occupying bottom lands practical result of tho Australian sys- j will tell yon tho same story, not torn is far more freedom of action, col- among his own stock, as thoy aro ac lectively and individually, for voters I customed to it, but of neighbors' teams andgrealer opportunity for intelligent j f"m tho uplands, that occasionally voting.

Ever .inco tho beginning of (ho Christian era, says Bill Nye, from tho tinio tho lirit request was madu for necessary funds to spread religon over as large a territory as possible, from tho earliest and simplest religion down to tho intolerance and caraway teed of of the Puritans), and the more refined j and spectacular devotion of to-day, the j great problem, as 1 may say, has boon how best to save tho largest number of , souls and still pay oxponses. Every moans, from tho sword and the rack down to tho bean-bag aud (he humor ous lectures, have boon employed to woo the coy and reluctant seudi from its Inir.

Register. Tho I.oso Wocil in Orrson. Mr. A. C. Coe, of Hood Kiver, writes as follows to the Scientific American: In tho scientific American of Oc'o ber 1.1, under tho heading of "Natu ral History Notes," you speak of the "loco" or "crazy weed" of Texas and that its reputed power of producing Jnwinitj- and death has been proved ' ruu i m in nocence oi ine "loco weed i cannot contradict; but tho fact of a certain weed (by some called the "loco") that grows on the Columbia river bottoms between tho "Cascades" and "The DdJles," that will cause temporary in sanity in horses not accustomed to feed on the bottom lands, is loo well known to doubt. Although 1 havo never seon any animal directly under tho influence' of (he weed, yet 1 havo seen them immediately afterward, and tho signs were unmistakable tho animal with his head and foro legs bruised and bleeding, the stall, manger and feed boxes totally demolished, and donoting a terrible struggle.- Almost lowland hay. Tho teams are watered and securely tied in their stalls and bountifully fed on tho bright, soft hay from tho overflowed lands. About midnight tho owner is awakened by a terrific uproar in the stables. Hasten ing thither, the teamstoj is astonished : to see Ids horso or horses in a perfect. t frensy of madnoss, roaring, striking, biting and kicking. Nothing, how i ever, can bo done until tho effects of tho woed pass off, and morning finds tho horse, if ho has not injured him self, but little tho worse for his night's antiee. What weed this is I do not know, norliavo I ever found any one that could positively say that they know, but it is certain that (hero is something in tho new cut bottom hay that will causo tomporary insanity in horses. It is no uncommon thing to sco iv man driving a horso with a bruised nnd swollen head, and, upon inquiring tho cause, ho will answer, "Oh, I was down on the bottoms last night, and my horso got a dose of crazy woed. Whether this is tho famous "loco woed," or whethor it is confined to this locality, is beyond my "ken."
