THE OREGON SCOUT. , JONES tu CHANCEY, - Publishers UNION OREGON. IN QUEEN ANNE'S TIME. An Ago Devoted to tlio Culture of Dresf ( anil I'liHtlinen. . It was tho fashion to laugh at tlio rusticity of country squires and to voto rural sports vulvar. Among tho midtllo classes tastes were narrowly Insular, and tho traveled wit only returned to town a foo and a fribble. Without political interests, country pursuits or artistic tastes, tho fashionablo world concentrated its attention upon amuse ment or upon dross. Socloty cried in real earnest with tho sarcastic Swift: t ""Fire la Bagatelle!" Early rising was 'not tho vogue; Belinda wakes at twolvo "lo summon her maid with handbell or slipper. A great part of tho morning was spent both by men and womoninan claborato toilet Tlio young man of lashion, who lodged in somo "great street near tho court, like Tall Mall," lounged from ono till four in thd Mall or tho King to exhibit his now sword-knot, show tho hoight of his toupee, select a beauty for tlio even ing's toast, or feed tho ducks in tho canal and "Rosamunda's pond." Dressed for tho park, ho woro a full-buttomcd Duvlllor wig, and carriod undor his loft nrm his low-felt hat, looped or cocked, according to tasto, and edged with sll--vor. Round his neck was tied tho Bcr dash or Stolnkirk neck-cloth of Mechlin lace, probably dusted with snuff, and ho woro his waistcoat unbottoned at tho top to "how tho llnoness of his ruf fled Holland shirt His embroidered or brocaded stilts, with silk stockings to match, woro of various colors. II is shoes had high red hools. Tho talis of his coat woro stiffened with wlro to display tho silk lining. From a button of his coat hung his foxskin muff; at his sido dangled his sword. With ono hand ho played with his clouded cane, which was suspended from his right wrist by i liluo ribbon, and trailed harmoniously upon tlio pobblos, in tho other hand ho carriod his fringed gloves and ono of his numerous snuif-boxes. Tlio dross of tho lady was equally elaborate. When sho exchanged her mob, morning gown, and handkerchief for full dress and tho park, sho appeared In a laced bodice, worn open In front over tight stays, surmounted, after Addison's remonstrances, by tho tucker of modesty, lior "sleeves wore shortened ho us to show tho lace hangings, which "fell to tho wrist. Her apron covered but a tiny portion of tho ricli brocaded petticoat, which was distended upon tho Herman hoop a huge rotunda, such ns that which was brought into the Spectator's Court of Judicature. As tho bodico descended tlio petticoats roso nnd revealed tho bright stockings of thread or silk, which terminated in beautifully-worked shoes of embroider ed satin or morocco leather. In nothing woro tho fashions more changeable than in tho height of tho headdress. Addi son remombered it, "rise and fall above thirty degrees." Quarterly Review. INCH L AJsTEOF K "NO W L E D G E. It 1h the NeceHHury SiiliHtriicture r Vult ure iiikI flvllUut ion. It was a simple increase in knowledge, tho discovery of gunpowder, which broko tho power of tho robber barons, nnd by confining victory to regular urmles ultimately extinguished private war. It is increased knowledges among other inlluencos, which has given us civilized order, and what that means to mankind in happiness, and menus most or till to tlio poor, let those who havo lived in countries where order has never been or has given way describe to the jnon who have forgotten what ignorant -warriors or brigands or populaces will do. Hut why seek for such evidence when It is all around us? Ask any one of those -who really know, ask any really experi enced doctor or missionary or school teacher, whether tho profoundly Igno rant, tho men .and women of the re siduum who know nothing, aro more happy than tho cultured, whether they do not sutler more from four, from disease we mean, of courso, when tho diseases aro tho same and from all tho semi-mad nosses which wooluss together in the phrase, "want of self-restraint." Ono ignorant woman of the slums will suffer more in a week from ecstasies of unger anger rising to Insanity than a hundred cultivated women will suffer from tho same can so In their lives. There Is no reason for pitying the low est class of Kuropo so unanswerable us their sulToring from sheer Ignorance. They know less than the half civilized, who almost everywhere possess a fund of traditional skill; and though knowl edge Is not culture or civilization, it is its necessary substructure. Take all knowledge) from Scotland, save what is possessed by Fiji, and you would havo Scotchmen more energetlo Fijlans that is, u race so unhappy that In its unrest nnd self abhorrence it surrendered freedom. Nobody took Fiji. Spec tator. ller-llu- City l'oxtul Nervier. The Merlin postal service, long ono of tho best postal services in tho world lias Just been Improved by a unique in novation. On Novombor 1 ten largo jKistal wagons, with sorting tables, stamping arrangements and every thing olso used in preparing mall for trans portation, were sent out from Berlin's Station 0 over ton routes to tho city limits to collect tho contents of the btroet mall-boxes. Tho olllolals who ac companied tho wagons sorted, stamped nnd bunched tho mall brought them (rum tho boxes by a porter, wlllo tho wagons were being driven in from tho outskirts of tho city. In this way an hour, nnd often enough, two hours, was saved from tho time before required for preparing malls for tho trains. A let-tor-box was attached to tho side of each wugon, so that pedestrians could throw in their loiters whenever the wugon stopped. ThnitO postal wagons have been it complete success thus far, and will lie continued in use. Most of thorn cover their routes in Just un hour.

PORTLAND MARKET But little record of any business trans actions of magnitude has leaked out dur ing the week for obvious reasons.

The movement of merchandise was of exceed ingly large proportions, mainly upward and onward, however, like Pharaoh's host across tho H d sea and alike emphatically suggested by the encroach ng element. But little complaint is heard, the tempo rary suspension not withstand! -g, and the brisker demand in all lines, which we are justilled in anticipating, will no doubt substantially reimburse all but the serious losers.

Tho early maps used by Prof. Hors ford are partly French, and this, with tho remarkable display of maps at tho Paris Exposition, and tho great work undertaken by tho French bookseller, Hatchette, leads mo to say a word about map-making, or "cartography," as tho French call it. The age of Louts XIV., which produced so much else, gave an impulse to map-making, and early in the last century, tho great atlas of D'Auville, which was forty years in making, was tho ancestor of innumera ble maps since published. France also, under the Bourbons, made tho first im portant topographical survey, under tho lead of Casina do Floury, who was en gaged on it from 174 to 17S3, and his maps were used by Napoleon and Wel lington in their campaigns. In our century, however, geographical science and art under llumbolt, who studied in Parts, and Rltter havo migrated to Germany with other branches of learning. The great pul llsher, Porthes, at Gotha. employing men llko Stieler, Sydow, Spruner and Peternuin, and the rival Berlin pub lisher, ICiepert, have for fifty years held sway In map-making. Hachette, in the days of tlio Second Napoleon, undertook to break down the German monopoly in this art and to restore France to her former eminence in it, and this Paris publisher employed Vivien do St. Mar tin to edit his new atlas, which is now coming out in monthly numbers, be ginning with 1SS7. A still larger atlas, begun in 1SS7. is waiting to follow. Vivien do St. Martin died before much had been issued, and he had been suc ceeded by F. Schraeder. The prepara tory work is done and the publication will soon begin again. A single map will occupy an engraver a year or two. In tho smallest atlas, maps of Switzer land, the British Isles and tho Russian Empire are published, and appear to bo better than tlio best former maps thoso of Stieler, the German. Compared with work like this the new atlas of Middle sex County seems rather crude and inac curate, but tho maps aro on a largo scale, and in the villages every man's house is put down with the owner's name.
