The general fiscal rnanagem kt of all department 01 puone anairs rias De-en ge has been accomplished witl and success, and in nearly i The public worn imeral faithfulness leases the expenses ,hftvi hefii trTt within thpani i.riations. There is v"a deficiency m the apnropnati i lor the support of the Penitentiary- This is cati-.d by the fact that tne appropriation was less than .jver oetore in pm portion to the number of prise iers, while the entire proceeds of prison labor were turned over to the Capitol Building Commission, and a large outlay from the appropriation was required for the pur chase of wood and sand, consumed in the manu facture of brick for the construction of the Capitol. There has been also an excepti nal increase of in mates in our Penitentiary durii & the last two years. No public moneys have been used, unless pre viously appropriated by the Legislature for the spe- cmc purpose to which tney nae oeen ueuieu. There has not been been a deiauu. r me iiegngrni use of the public monevs to the an niiunt of one dollar, A- of the State, dUr- by any public officer or employ lntr tho fniir rnon that I nm ill! Vmt'.d Of. 0 I believe you will find their f ounts, on exami nation, to be full, compl.ljand satisfactory. Throughout the counties, as fawi their connection w ith the State has been coneerund, there has been geueral resKnsibility.9In the construction of all public buildings the contacts have been Ujita Jiae, and a much of the work, as possible has been, di rectly applied by labor upon the structure. RETKESCHMENV. The power of retrenchment is solely with the Legislative Assemblv. No tax can be levied and no public monev can used without an act of the Legis lature first having specifically authorized the same. No public officer can increase his own pay, nor cre ate perquisites not authorized by the law-making power. To vou the ieople look for such action as may leseu the expenses of government. In the transjiortation of convicts to the Peniten tiary, and insane patients to the Asylum, and in re turning fugitives from justice, a very great saying can lie made if the auditing of accounts shall be based upon actual expenditure in performing the service, and a reasonable per diem pay for the offi cer. No guards should be allowed, except by special order of the proper court. . No retrenchment can properly le made in the Ex ecutive Department. In other States a contingent executive fund is customary to be provided, to de fray necessary expenses incident upon the perform ance of the many duties always liable to be de volved upon the Executive, without special allow ance to meet them. In this State here is no such fund, while the Governor U constantly called upon to perform Executive duties connected w ith the ad ministration of the laws, the expanse of which. he pays out of his own private fund.';. I need only in stance one of this class of xpeus The Governor is the Inspector of the Insane Asy.uin; at each visit he travels liitv miles, and some;imes necessarily spends two days at Portland, at his own personal expense, in performing this duty. The Corresponding Clerk of the Board of School I-and Commissioners socially in charge of the Eastern Oregon land records and corresmdeiice can be dispe nsed with, not beeau.- .-.such clerical aid has itut been necessary, but because the double duty cast upon Ihe Board of doing their own work and of bringing forwaid the uudone wore of the former Boaid has now been accomplished, and the Chief Clerk of the Board can no take charge of that duty in addition to his own work. The rates of pay to subordinates and guards at the Penitentiary mikt be lixed by law, though 1 believe general economy has been there practiced in this respect As to reductions in fees of county offices, and in efl'ecting eut-rul county reforms, being specially fa miliar with the subjects, the members of the As sembly will be the proper judge f what the peo ple desire to be done. 1 win take joining you in all the proper mci Teat pleasure in res et retrench- iiieiit and reiorm.

If a lies v Act is passed it (should not be too cumbersome cr expensive, and hould be routined to precincts connected with cities and witli railroad stations, v hencecoUiplaints of abuses of suffrage arise. FP.EE I'ASFf. . The new Constitution ot the State of Pennsylva nia prohibits railroad corporations from issuing free passes to any public officer. Laws have lately been enacted in several other Stays to like effect. I think a provision of this character in the laws of this Mute would meet with public approbation. KEGCLATION OF KAILKOAPS. The preservation of the State and the people from the assaults of monopolies is one of the lirst duties-of legislation, and clearly within your constitutional i-ower of action. Vou create cor porations ; you can appoint and regulaje their lunctions. Throughout Europe, where rail ways are not eonducted directly by the Govern ment, there are the most minute and stringent rules enforced by public authority for their inan HjreiiiMit and limitation. In several of the other Mates of this I tiion, where such public control has not Itef -re been established, there is now going on a struggle ljeiween the eoplo and these corpora tion, te-ting the verv elements of the right of sov ereignty and of the law-making power. In Oregon we have transferred to private corpora lions, in trust for the people's benefit, magnificent grants fit public hind made by Congress to the State for th construction of railroads, reserving no direc tion of the expenditure of their proceeds, making no conditions and prescribing no limits to their op erations. Thi Slate is probubly the only one in the Union having a total want of railroad regulations prescribed by law. In Mich a condition, is tf n'uiarkable that, feeling the impulse of liew-grov li power, and incited by the keen energy of private interest. -tilt? railroad corpor ations should be liable to trample upon the peo ple's lights and to forget their obligations to the ,-tate? As all corporations in this State exist under pro visions of general law. and special enactments con ferring special privilege) arc forbidden by the Con stitution, those general corporation laws are subject tojimeiidiiHiit as oilier general laws, and all incor pttrulion under them is made with reference to that power of amendment. The plenary power of the State to regulate com mon carriers and to protect the rights and interests of the pernio whenever infringed, I think is ua doubted. That railways are of great benefit to the public and are indispensable handmaids to the multipled in dustries and growing commerce of Oregon, is noob jection to the purpose of regulation, but constitutes the reason of the demand ibr legislation upon this subject All property rights and all classes of busi ness must exist under law, and where the manage ment of any class of property or business is liable to . fleet the property or business of others in an unsuul or deleterious manner, regulation by law is notonly pioperjbtit imperative. Ihisis the law of public policy. c That the privileges of railroad rorporationsshould le limited to the purpose, of their incorporation, as carriers ol passengers and freight: that there should be fixed by luw reasonable maximum of rates ; that the interests of merchants, millers and shipers should be guarded ngainst wrongful discriinations adverse, ,t" them : that prominent ioints of business on railroad lines should be made stations for ship ment and delivery-of produce anil merchandise: that tiie roads should be required to be fenced at all points exposed to danger for want of protection by fences, and that a simple and direct mode of bring ing actions at law by parties injured, would appear to iapf obvious propriety. Th sentiment in this proposed action is not one of. hostility to railway enterprises, but one cf jus tice, protection, and encourHgenieiit to the varied interests of the people and to the commerce of the State. It is the sentiment cf equal and exact jus tice to all, special privileges to none. To exercise strict and definite regulation U'a difficult problem. There had bette r be no action rather than wrong action, but let the sovereignty of the State be as serted, and its legislative power be made manifest in this, as in all things, subject to jurisdiction under our Constitution. TH ANsIS, UTA1 IO BY WATER. Oregon has for its western boundary, the great Pacific Ocean, opening out to the commerce of the world. Tiie Coiumbiit, the second river in imjxttt ance in North America, bounds us on the North. The Willamette exteud its navigable wa ters far into the interior, and rniny beautiful lesser river furnish local facilities for water transpor tation. These are nature's highways the Cod given arteries of commerce. The obstructions to easy ami general navigation upon all our navigable strrams aie not u.Un-n.t ot removal. The nature of th no rier ix-ds is such mat when once properly im iroved the improvements will be laslimr I To indicate in a set:U ncc the imi.ort.mcu of the improvement of one of our rivers, let me say that there are iiomt .'being gathered into warehouses in the valley of the illanu-tte, within eay delivery to tiie river, five million bushels of wheat. The improvement of this river for barge navigation in the dry season, throughout its navigable course would cost oi.e-hun.lr. ,1 and twenty-rive thousand dollar-". 'I he reduction t the rates ot transporta tion five ceuu per bushe 1 average on the wheat crop of this year would leave to the producers of thi valley in a single season a quarter ofii million of dollars. If there are interests which slTnld receive limited assistance from the state this one of the first so entitled. In thf established policy of Jhe General Govern ment it is the duty of Congress to improve rivers an J harbors, as lacilities to general commerce. An " energetic Memorial to Congress from the Assembly might strengthen the hands of our beimtora lid. Representative in their efforts iu this behalf. c KAIi.ROAD sTnsit.iEf. Oregon is the only State in the I'niou in which bonds of the State, of counties, and cities, have tot been issued as subsidies to railroads, or in pay ment of stocks in railroad corporation The state and its subdivisions are abaolutciy free from debts ot this class It is my judgment that they should re main so. The experience) of many of the other Hates in this particular has be-en disastrous and depressing to general prosperity. A system brought into bciu andtustained only by stimulants ii never h althy. The construction of our constitu tional limitations upon this subject, set forth in the Kxecutive Message declining to approve the Port land Subsidy Bill, fvur years ago, will be steadily adhered to. These remarks a-e limited to our internal State policy. There are commanding reasons why, in the development of the r&ilror.d system of itlie United State, a connecting branch of some road should bo A extended to Oregon, and that such extension bhould receive the assistance of the General Government, in order that this state niav be plac.jl upon an equality with the ciucr States which have received like assistance. Oregon is the only Stat j of the sis terheKd now isolated from general railway commu nication, and our whole political power--and influ ence should be exerted to secure the jut attention of Congress to the interests if the great orthwest. SKW ISr.I-pTIULf-HEKT St cSiR, Hx AND SHIP Blll.tUSfi It may be of public intere-st to notice here the re rent introduction into this State of a mve and im portant industry the manufacture or production of sugar from beets. This industry has already been fully tested in our sister State, California, and after the usual drawbacks of new enterprises, has now, I am informed, proved immanent and remunerative to those interested. Tb State of Oregon need certainly f ar no'Tom-0 parison with any State in agricultural productions buite-d to her climate, and can enter on this indus try' if judiciously conducted, with every assurance ot success. What success in this line means, and of what importance it must be to the whole agricultur al interests of this State enhancing the value of farm land, and affording; greatly increased employ ment, may be best inferred from the following facts : The discovery that sugar could be produced from beets was first made in 1747, and first applied on a large or practical scale in the early part of the present century, since then the manufacture has contin ued to increase, and in l?;, (of which accurate re turns have been made up) the production iu Europe of beet sugar amounted in round numbers to over 600,000 tons, or in cash valuo over $:5u,!Kxx).0(0. At present the cash value of the beet sugar crop may be set down at over S.iJO .000,(100, a yearly increase or adilition to the wealth of those countries in which the manufacture is carried on. which otherwise, (a now in the case of Oregon) would have to be ex pended in procuring from abroad this necessary of life. By the usual per capita estimate of consump tion applied to Oregon, near one million dollars' worth of sugar may be assumed to be used, which in lieu of being imported from abroad, might be raised here, assisting greatly in our development. The growth of flax for lint for foreign export was undertaken last year, and duriDgthe present season has made such progress and met with such success that the future development and stability of this interest are assured. The remark of one of our leading agriculturists, that whatever class of hus bandly is suited to the climate and soil of Oregon will develop the most perfect product in the world. I believe to be true. Another important interest, destined to reach great results, and now just beginning to be devel oped. Is ship-building. We have the best general supply of ship-building timber anywhere to be found, except with our neighbors of Washington Territory. The spar timber of Oregon and Wash ington is shipped to all quarters of the globe. CEN'EKAL PROGRESS. The progress of the State during the last four years, lias been healthy and rapid. The increase of its rate of development, in material products, has been at least four-feld The value ot our exports have reached a sum certainly exceeding ten mil lions of dollars. I estimate the export value of our wheat and flour at nearly four millions, gold; oats, other grains and fruits, one million ; wool, hides, meats cattle and horses, two millions; salmon, one million live hundred thousand: lumber and coal one million: gold, silver and iron, one million live hundred thousand. This exhibit for a jopulation of one hundred thousand people is almost without a par allel. We need more jxjpulation. Let us maintain a tesponsible, just and prudent State Government ; let us lighten the public burdens, practice industry and uconomy: encourage education anil maintain our present standards of morals and religion, and all lands will send us increase. L. F. G HOVE 11. Execvtive Department, Salem, Sept. 16, 1S7L ANOTHER OF THE BR0WNL0WS ORA TORY EXTRAORDINARY. Senator "William (i. Brownlow is, not the only original in that family. He has a brother who, until yesterday, wan a candidate for Reg ister in Washington county, and the way that brother appealed to the sympathies of the sovereigns, would have drawn saltwater from the optica of a government mule. We make some choice extracts from his electioneering circular, as quoted by a correspondent of the Memphis Avalanche : "I am a Tennes-seean, and all that this word implies. I am fifty-nine years old, and have been living in the State and in the county thirty-live years, laboring in your mid: t as an humble mechanic, until I am broke down.

He owns two farms on the Cherokee, and lias had this little oUice twelve months, and dur ing that time he has been keeping school at Bell's school house, aneT hired Charles Dosser to attend to his business iu thisofliee. He lias five more months to teach at Bell's in order to make out his school, and now he has one Vin ete Zine, of index notoriety, as his deputy, flSnl will continue said Zine if elected. Now, fellow-citizens, is it fair for this man Jatvis to grab it all '.' But the stupendous style in whu-h he dis poses of his competitors and their claims is simply unapproachable : "Sun. stand thou on Mount '(iibeon big in the heavens, and thou, moon, in the Valley of Algalon, and witness, it you please, the entire annihilation and everlasting destruction of all who dare oppose those modern Joshuas on their on ware! march to this little office.

It has been published in this State that the soundings made by Com mander Belknap, on the United States steamer TuM-arora, had demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed route for a cable between the Pa cific coast and Asia. This statement is not iti accordance w ith the facts. Commander Belk nap expresses the opinion that the project will have to be abandoned. The reasons lie assigns for arriving at this conclusion are, the extraor dinary depth of water, bottom not having been found in places with live miles of wire, and the rapidity and force of submarine currents. The latter were soowcrful as to mutilate the apparatus, ami in many cases to snap the wires used in souruling. In making his report to the Secretary of the Navy, Commander Belknap expresses his belief that, althouglfthe proposed great circle route is a failure, the dis coveries made by him will be of great value to hydrographic science, as establishing the fact that depths exist in the I'acitic hardly before supposed. It is almost certain that a vast trough has been made by the Japan Stream similar to that worn by the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic F. Call. Haciiel's Secket.

THAT JACK OF CLUBS. HOW A COOL THOUSAND WAS LOST ASUWOS OX IT. Louisville Courier-Journal. He was well-dressed, and said he came from Cincinnati. He looked like a drummer for a prosperous dry-goods house, except that the diamond pin he wore was larger and was more preteniously displayed even then is the custom of these peripatetic gentry. And, besides, he didn't seem more than half-witted, anyhow, for all the good clothes and the diamoiiel pin and the latest Tall style white hat he wore. To the loafers and others who stood around the bar and a good many "regulars" who were haugiug around on the sidewalk, and lounged in when they heard the loud talk he seemed like a young fellow on his first spree, who had more monev then he knew what to do with. He wasn't very drunk when he first came in, but he was mighty loud with his talk. He asked everybody up to take a drink, and the loafers didn't need any pressing. In point of fact, there wasn't one bf them that didn't take a drink. Theirs was big drinks; but the Cin cinnati man's wasn't more than one finger, and he left some ot that in the bottom of the glass. But it seemed to lly to his head, notwithstan l mg. It was an up-town saloon and at the begin ning of the ork-packing season, when the hog-raisers were driving in their grftnters. There were three or four of 'em in the saloon at the time, taking a little Robertson county in a group by themselves. They didn't drink with the Cincinnati man, but the stock-raiser who was treating his party paid for their drinks and showed a well-filled pocket-book as he did it. After that the Cincinnati man was inclined to be friendly with the hog drovers, but wanted everybody in the room to drink with him again. The regulars stepped up promptly, but the countrymen declined. The Cincinnati man pressed them to drhrk with hint. He had dcael loads of money about him. He was on a littletear, and damn the expense. So they must drink with him. He was so polite and liberal, and seemed to be so anxious, that the drovers each took a drink. The regulars had all poured out theirs, and had guled 'em elown while the talk was goimr on. The countrymen each took the usual horn, but the Cincinnati man poured out two lingers this time, and dieln't drink more than half of that. But he seemed to be getting'drunk fast. Then he treated all round again, and, though his drink was very small considering, it began to thicken up his "tall: a little. "Less take 'nother glass, gentlemen," said he; ami he tlivevl down in another jocket, ami drew out a big roll of bills. "Tliere's 'nuif moneyjo treat the whole town, and d d if I ain't goiii' spend all it 'fore get through. So they all drank ground with him again, and his tongue was getting surprisingly thick, seeing that he hadn't taken enough liquor to make a cat drunk that is to say a Kentucky cat, which is supposed to be used to it. But then he was a simple sort of fellow, whose head elitln't sectu to be of the strongest. As for the loafers, they were not fazed in the least, and no more were the countrymen. "Now, gen'l'men, less have 'nother drink, an'll show you trick with carels. Say, bar keeper, ban' out deck carels." The gentleman behind the bar took elown a pack of cards and gave it the Cincinnatian, whose big roll of money still lay on the counter. "GenTmen," said the stranger, who by this time was getting elrunk very last; "gen'fmen, '11 bet twenty dollars I can ilo a trick with cards none you can fin' out. But less take 'nother elrink first." So they all drank round with him again, anil the loafers and country men gathered about him as he clumsily shu filed the pasteboards, nodding sleepily to warel the counter every once ami a while. Then he tried to do several tricks with the cards, which were very transparent, indeed. As each of his tricks was successfully detected by both loafers and countrymen, he began to get mad. "D n 'f I can't do one thing," ?aid he at last, "none you can fin' out. I can cut any card 'n pack you name, 'n not half try. Bet ten dollars can cut aiir card 'n pack," he re peated, and drew a ten dollar bill from the big roll on the counter. It was evident that he was very drunk. Then the loafers gathered by themselves in a corner, and there was a hurried comparing of finances, but there wasn't as much as ten elollars in the crowd. "Bet twenty elollar can cut any card in pack," but nobody saw the raise; the loafers looked streuigly toward the pile, ami then started for the door, as by a sudden impulse. Somehow, although he was very drunk, the Cincinnati man addressed him altogether to the drovers, and especially to the one who bad already exhibited the portly pocket-book, if he had been so drunk and so innocent look ing, a sharp one might think he was making a tlcad set at that green countrymen. "What is it you want to bet?" said that in dividual. "Wanner bet fif dollar can cut any card in pack," replied the light-headed man from Cin cinnati. "Any keard I choose to pick out?" asked the elrover. "Yes, any card in pack," reiterated the well-dressed man from Cincinnati; and an acute and unprejudiced looker-on might have noticed that his eyes began to be as bright as the big diamond that sparkled on his bosom ; which was very strange, considering that he was so drunk and his tongue was so thick. But the countrymen failed to see this, and the one with the money was particularly blind. Said lie : "Say here, stranger, you bet fifty dollars that you kin cut any keard I naniein thatthar pack?" "Yes'r," replieel tiie stranger, and his eyes began to grow sleepy again : "I'll bet you huncrd doll'r I can." "Well, now, stranger." returned he from the country, "I've just sold my hogs and got five or six hundred dollars right here in my pocket" slapping that locality in his breeches "'an' I'll bet you that pile you can't do it," Then the eyes of the well-dressed strange from Cincinnati gave just one more Hash, ami were dead again. Then he seemed very drunk ami about to go to sleep. "Wha' sat you say? Bet fivehunerd doll'r? Take you, an' go you five hunerd bctt'r." The elrover from the country hesitated a mo ment, while the Cincinnati man spread out his roll of money on the counter. There was more than a thousand elollars in it. Then he turned to his friends and there was a transfer of divers bills from their pockets to liis hands, j "D d me, if I don't take vou," said he, "if ! you'll let me shuttle the keards first." "Damficare," replied the Cincinnatian, and lie had evidently gotten very drunk. j Then the countryman counted out his thousand dollars, and, after considerable trou- j ble and poking up oT the Cincinnati man. his ! thousand dollars were counted out, too, and both put up in the barkeeper's hands. And the countryman took those pictorial paste board?, and the way he shuffled them was a si"ht to sec. First be couldn't get tbe.m to mix atall, and then he'd spill half ot them on the floor.' The barkeeper asked if he "hadn't bet ter take a bushel basket of them cards;" but the Cincinnati man seemed to be fast falling asleep. At last thev were shufiled to the satis faction of the dealer in swine who was from Shelby county, by the way anel he laid them on the table. , "Now, f trang-r," he said, the understandm is that you cut'tbe keard I name the fust time, or cle you lose the money ; and if you Jo cut the keard I name the fust time, then I lose the money. Is that what you bet them greenbacks OIThe well-dressed man from Cincinnati roused up suflicicntly to say. "tha'a whatimean." "Then I name the Jack o' clubs, and cut and be damned to you." Then there came a sudden change over the cuileless man from Cincinnati. lie roused up all at once. He didn't seem half as drunk as he was a moment before. And he put his hand up behind his neck and he drew a long and verv sharp bowie from down his back, and cut that puck of cards clear through and down to the counter. Then he reached over to the barkeeper and said : "I guess I'll take that pile. "Hold on a minnit, stranger ; don t you be so all-fired fast," here iuterposed the drover from the interior. "'Spose you look over them keards and show me the Jack o' clubs." There was another change suddenly over spread the face of the gentleman from Cincin nati He hurriedly ran through one half of the divided pack, and there was never a Jack of clubs there. Then he ran through theother half of the jack, and there was not even a showing of the Jack of clubs there,' either. Then he looked at the hog-drover from Shelby, who looked placidly at him in return. "Did you find that Jack, stranger? No, I ret-kon you didn't, for here it is;" and sure enough, there it was. He slowly drew it from up his sleeve andlaiiit on the table. Then heTeached over for ! e money, and the stake holder give it to him "Now, stranger," i e continued, "the next tima you want ter play any o' your shenani gans with keaiels spos you be sure you haint tackled a coon as kr ws 'em better'n he does a b c," and he modes ly pocketed the monev. It was no use kicki g against the pricks, and the Cincinnati man sadly saw his greenbacks swallowed up in that uig pocket-book. Then he slowly turned to go, and met at the door an excited crowd. It was the loafers, who had managed to rake up a considerable pile by moseying around among their frieiuls and a visit to their common uncle in his shop around the corner. But they were too late. That monev had been gathered in by a green-looking customer from the country. The Cincinnati man is in clined to believe that Kentucky isn't a goed State to prospect in. Least wavs he hasn't been seen arouml here ;ince. THE IEISH BULL. THE COXFLSIOX WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO T.EIGX IX TIIE HIliLKXIAX MIND. The Irish have achieved a great celebritv in the matter of bulls and blunders. Bv the uninitiated, these are terms which are'eon stantly confounded; but when they arc looked into, it will be seen there is the greatest difference between them. Blundering arises trom stupidity, and the stupid are a race who are found all over the world ; but the buu a peculiarity that belongs exclusively to Ireland is always connected with thought, and ori mative power of its ieople. It is not alfa dull absurdity which no one can comprehend it is always comprehensible, even when it is most confused It proceeds, not from want but the superabundance of ideas, which crowd n each other so fast in an Irishman's peri cranium that they get jammed to-ether. so to speak, m the doorway of his speech, and only tumble out in their ordinary disorder Confusion may, indeeel, be called a national characteristic. It irvades all Irish history. If the stream of the latter in early days has fts gleams of bright tranquility, sorely troubled does it become as it descends the steeps of time, till, as it Hows on iu the latter a-'es it encounters obstructions, political and relig ious which give it turmoil and rerplexitv which we cannot survey without deplorin As with the affairs of unhappy Ireland, so has it ever been with the peasantry. Public and social disorders have communicated a jar to the brains of Pat; and, if he can be accused now and then of being a little erratic in his sayings and doings, he cam at least console himself by igniting to along historical au thority. He may say : "Arrah ! now, why wouldn't I be confused'' YV asn t all ot us con 1 used, and from the airliest times and isn't a man to be consistent? Would you have him turn his coat when scarcely a rag of it is left him ?" A good example of a bull may be cited in the case of two Irishman who, fancying that they knew each other, crossed the street to shake hands. On discovering their error : "1 beg your pardon !,' cried the one. "Oli, don't mention it," said the other. "It's a mutual mistake; you seel thought it was you, and you thought it was me, and after all. it was neither of us !" A good pendant to this is told of two friends who met and referred to the illness of a third: "Poor Michael Hogan ! Faith, I'm afraid he's going to die." "And why would he die?" "Oh, he's got so thin! You're thin enoti-h, and I'm thin; but, by my sowl, Michael Ho gan is thinner than both of us put together!" A bull is sometimes produced by the false use of a word, as in the case of an Irish watch man giving evidence at a police otlice : "What is this man's offense?" "He was disorderly, your worship, in the strates, last night." "And diel you give him warning before you took him into custoily?" "I did, your worship; I said to him, dis iare!" Again, a bull may be occasioned by a con fusion of identities, as when it was said of an ugly man that he was handsome when an in fant, but he was unluckily changed at nurse; or, as it was shown in theiervorof agirl, who, desiring her lover's miniature, anel he fearing it night lead to discovery "Oh, it needn't," she exclaimed; "i ll tell the painter not to make it like you !" And again, a bull may be owing to a limited amount of knowledge, as in the case of an eld woman going to the chandler's for a farthing candle, ami being tolel it was raised to a half penny on account of the Russian war "Bad luck to them !" she exclaimed; "and do they light by candle light?" Apart, however, from all of these, the ordin ary sayings of the Irish have an imaginative quality which is just as characteristic, and not at all confusing. As lor instance, when they say of a man w ho is irretrievably ruineel : "Saltpetre wouldn't save him, and that is a strong pickle;" or when they would advise another to avoid arrest: "Be off while your shoes are good ;" or. as they delicately say of an elderly lady whose age they forbear to mention : "A kitten of her age wouldn't play with a cork." And apart from all these, again, is the gen uine humor of the Irish, which has nothing of the bull in it whatever, but on the contrary, the cleverest notions, and very often the shrewdest sense. I will only cite a con pie of instances, which will not be the less welcome if they happen to have beeu heard before. A gentleman seeing an Irishman staggering homeward from a fair, observed to him: "Ah, Darby. I'm afraid you'll find the road you're going is rather a longer one than you 'think. "Sure, your honor," he replied, "it's not the length of the road that I care about; it's the breadth of it is destroyin' me." And again, in the bog of Aughiim, in the last century, plenty of gun-barrels used to be found as a memento of its great battle, and there was a blacksmith who dug them up in order to make use of their material. On one occasion one of them exploded in his furnace, when he exclaimed : "Bad luck to your love of murthcrT isn't the battle of Aughrim out of you yet?" HULLS NOT IRISH. It was a Scotch woman who said that the butcher of her town only killed half a beast at a time; it was a Dutchman who said that a pig hael no marks on liis ears except a short tail ; and it was a British magistrate!, who, be ing told by a vagabond that he was not mar ried, responded, "That's a good thing for your wife." It w as an English reporter who stated, at a meeting of the Ethnological Society there was exhibited "casts of the skull )f an indi vidual at different perioels of adult life, to show the changes produced in ten years," though Dean Swift certainly mentions two skulls pre served in Ireland, one of a person when he was a boy, and the other of the same person when he grew to be a man. It was a Portu gese mayor who enumerated among the marks by which the body of a drowneel man might be identified when found, "a marked impedi ment in his speech." It was a Frenchman, the famous Carlino, who, contentedly laying his head upon a large stone jar for a pillow, repl"u;d to one who inquired if it was not rather hard, "Not at all. for I've stuffed it with hay." It was an American lecturer who solemnly said one evening, "Parents, you may have children, or if not, your daughters may have." And it was a German orator, who, warming with this subject, exclaimed, "There is no man. woman or child in the house, who hasarrived at the age of fifty years, but what lias felt this truth thundering through their minds for cen turies." A Sad Dkowxing Accidext. Blooming Grove. Penn., Aug. 12), 1S74. A young man named George Howell, of this place, on Thurs day bust, went, to Perch Pond, two miles from here, and near the western boundary of the Blooming Grove Park, to hunt wild ducks. A little brother, four or five years old, accompa nied him. While they were fkating in a boat in the pond, a duck flew -by them. Howell tumeel quickly in the boat to see where the bird rested. The suddenness of the motion upset the boat, ami its inmates were thrown into the water. Howell went to the bottom and never came to the surface. His little brother by some means managed to climb on the upturned boat. He drifted about the pond all day, being unable to effect a landing. About dark the wind blew the boat into the inlet of the ponel and the hoy wailed ashore, and maele his way home through the woods, where he annouueted the drowning of his brother. A party of men reached the joud about midnight, and were guided to the sjot where Howell was drowned. With the aid of lanterns the body was found. It -was in an erect position, the feet being stuck in thennul, where the unfortunate young man had been helel until he waa dead Austrian- Tolar Expedition Heard From. A London dispatch of Sept. 4th, states that members of the Austrian Polar Expedition, for whose safety fears were felt, have been beard from. They were shipwrecked and took to sledges, anel succeeded after a long journey in reaching the Norwegian Island of Vareloe. A JESTING MARSHAL. The stories told of the celebrated Russian Marshal Souvoroff diplay better than whole pages of description the wonderful way in which he contrived to adapt himself to the rude spirits with whom he had to deal, with out losing one jot of his authority. What Napoleon was to the French Suvoroff was to the Russian army now jesting with a soldier, and now rebuking a General ; one day sharing a ration of black bread beside a bi vouac lire, and the next speaking as an equal to Princes and Potentates. In fact, the two great sponsors of Russian wit form a most pictur esque contrast. Balkaireil was very much the character of a spaniel in a lion's cage admir ing even while mocking his formidable patron, behaving toward him with a half waggish, half affectionate familiarity, perpetually forgiven. Suvoroff comes before us an uncrowned King, one whose authority needed no outward sym bol: an autocrat of nature's making, full of rough, hearty familiarity that was in no dan ger of breeelitig contempt, and surrounded by men who enjoyed the bonhomie while they elreaded the displeasure of the little pug-nosed, grimy man, who was, in their eyes, the incar nation of earthly ver and grandeur. It must be owned, however, that in his own peculiar vein of pleasantry the old Marshal more than once met with his match. One of his favorite jokes was to confuse a man by asking him, unexpectedly " How many stars are there in the sky?" On one occasion he put this question to one of his sentries on a bitter January, such as only Russia can produce. The soldier, not a whit disturbed, answered coolly : " Wait a little and I will tell you;" and he deliberately began to count, "One, two, three," etc. . In this way he went gravely on to a hun dred, at which point Suvoroff, who was al ready half frozen, thought it high time to ride off, not, however, without impairing the name of the ready reckoner. The next' elay the latter found himself pro moted, and the story (which Suvoroff told wi tli great glee to his stall') speedily made its way through the army. On aiieither ocvasiou one of the Generals of a division scut him a Sergeant with dispatches, at the same time recommending the bearer to Suvoroll "s notice. The Marshal, as usual, pro ceeded! to test him by a series of whimsical .questions; but the catechumen was equal to the occasion. "How far is it to the moon?" asked Sa vorofi". " Two of Your Excellency's forced marches," answered the Sergeant. "Supposing you were blockatled, and had no provisions left, how would you supply your self?" " From the enemy." " How many fish'are there in the sea?" " As many as have not been caught." And so the examination went on, tiltSu voreili", finding his new acquaintance armed at all points, at le'tigth asked him, as a final poser: ."What is the difference lie t ween your Colonel and myself?" "The difference is this," replieel the soldier, coolly, "my Colonel cannot make me a cap tain, but Yiur Excellency has only to say the word." Suvoroff, struck by his shrewdness, kept his eyes upon the man, anel, in no long time after, actually gave him the specified promotion. The ani-c h.tes of the gn at Marshal's eccen tricities -his habits of wandering about the t:;nn. in disguise, his whim of giving the signal for attack by crowing like a cock, his asteuind ing eiidrtraiice of heat or cold, his savage dis regard of personal comfort ami neatness are heyoiiel calculation ; but perhaps the most characteristic of all was liis appearance in 1709, at .the Austrian Court, then one of the most brilliant in Europe-. tin being shown to the room prepared for him (a splendid apartment, li Ileel with costly mirrors and rich furniture) this modern Diog enes said simply : "Turn out the rubbish, and shake me down some straw." An Austrian grandee who came to visit him was startled ut these preparations, ami still more so at the first sight of the Marshal's "bag gage," which consisted of two coarse shirls, anel a tattered cloak tied up in a bundle. "Is that enough for winter?" asked the as tonisheil visittir. "The winter's the father of us Russians," an swered Suvoroll", with a grin; "besides, you don't feel the cold when you're riding full gal lop."' "But w hen you're tired of riding what do vou do?" "Walk." "But when you're tired of walking?" "Pun." "And do you never sleep, then ?" asked the petrified questioner. "Si mctimcs, when I've nothing better to do," replied Suvore.fi". carelessly ; "and when I want to have a very luxurious nap, I take off one of my spurs." The thunderstruck Austrian bowed and re tired, doubtless consielerably enlightened in his id. as of a Russian General. LOUIS OF BAVARIA AND HIS LAKE ON . THE HOUSE-TOP. King Louis has, it is said, entirely lost in these last few years the slenderness of figure and the youthful look which so lately elis tinguished him. He has become stout, and is now a large, finely-proportioned, ami hand some man, insteael of an elegant, poetic-looking hoy. He is said to be in treaty with the Royal family of Prussia for the band of the daughter of Prince Frederick Charles, grand niece to the Emperor of Germany. He has not yet outgrown his mania for odd and whimsical follies, though he has not equaled, of late years, his notion of having a lake con struoteel on the roof of the Royal palace, where, 1 believe, it still exists, and whereon he meant, in imitation of Lohengrin, to sail in a boat drawn by swans. The architect, at hen summoned to receive his ortlers for his watery sky-parlor, declared at lirst that the thing could not be done. "But it must be done," quoth King Iouis; anel the "must" of Princes being still potential, even in this republican age the lake was finally constructed. Then a new difficulty arose. The waters of the lake were not a pretty color. The King wanted them to be blue, after the orthodox fashion of poetic and romantic sheets of water. So the water was drawn off, ami the 'sides and bottom of the tank painted blue, but still the water re fused to show the proper azure tint. Then an infusion of indigo was tried anel the lake looked blue enough in all conscience, but the unhappy swans get dyed the same tint by sail ing upon its bosom, and presented a splotchy and streaky apjearanee, which at as anything but romantic. So the modern Lohengrin had the tank refilled with pure water, and resigned himself to the idea of a colorless lake. This odd construction was at one time shown to strangers, but a traveling Frenchman once wrote to one of the Parisian papers a highly ludieruiis account of it, Avhich narrative, com ing to the knowledge of the King, so incensed him that he forbade the guardians of the place ever to show his cherished lake again to strangers, and so a heartless and unsympa- izing public is shut out from all prospect of ever again inspecting this marvel. Cor. Fhila dcjlua Prats. Saratoga. This morning, writes "Eli Per kins." a well-known Boston man sat down by Senator Robertson, an old ami proud resielent iif South Carolina, on the balcony of the Slates, and commenced ingratiating himself in the Southerner s feelings. "I tell you, sir, South Carolina is a great State, sir," remarked Senator Robertson, en thusiastically. "Yes," said the stranger from Boston, ".ihe is. 1 knew a good many people down there myself; and splendid people they were, too; its brave and high-tuned as the Huguenots." "You did, sir." "Oh ! yes, sir. I knew some of the greatest men your State ever saw, sir. Knew 'em in timately, sir," continued the Boston man. con fidentially drawing his chair closer and light ing ins cigar. "Who did you know down there, sir, in the old Palmetto State?" asked the Southerner. "Well, sir, I knew General Sherman and General Kilpatrick and" "Great guns !" interrupted the South Caro linian, and then threw doAvn his cigar and said but, well, never minel. A "Model Settlement." A company con sisting of General Shields, O. L. Abbott, of Santa Barbara, (who holds the second highest State office among the California Grangers), anel others, has purchased 40,450 acres of land near Point Conception. Santa Barbara county, with the intention of founding a model set tlement. Six hundred and eight' acres have been reservceT for a town site, and the surround ing land is to be divided into parcels of 40 and SO acres, open to settlers on eay terms. A novel feature of the enterprise is that all deeds will contain a stringent eolel-Avater clause, with a covenant not to buy or sell liquors in the settlement. It may admit of doubt whether, after purchase and possession, the prohibitory clause can be legally enforced. ,9. F. Oironiclc. SAWING A "SARATOGA." TUE JOKE OK A STAliE-DKIVEK. Hank Monk, the stage-driver who gave Horace Greeley his memorable mountain ride, in common with all his tribe, hates the sight of those ponderous specimens of architecture in the trunk line known as the "Saratoga bandbox." He likes a "Sratoga" about as well as a cat likes hot soup. He now drives on the stage-line betweeu Carson City and Lake Tahoe. He was driving on the same line last summer. A Virginia laely who was stopping at the Glcnbrook House hael a "Saratoga" at Carson Avhich she wished brought up to the lake. It was about as long and wide as a first class spring mattress, and seven or eight feet high. The lady had manaaeti to get it as far as Carson by tail, but the trouble was to get it up into the" mountains. Hank had promised two or three times to bring it up "next trip," but always arrived w ithout it. At last Hank dro-e up one evening, anel. as usual, the lady came out upon the veramla to ask if he hail brought her trunk. Like that exeat anel good man, George, Hank cannot tell a lie, and so he said : - - "No, ma'am ; I haven't brought it ; but I think some of it will be up by the next stage." "Seirne of it !" cried the lady. "Yes ; maybe half it, or such a matter." "Half of it !" groaned the horrified owner of the Saratoga. "Yes : half to-morrow, and the rest next day or the day after." "Why, how in the name of common sense can they bring half of it?" 'Well, when I left they were sawing it in two, ami" "Sawing it in two ! Sawing my trunk in two ?" "That Avas what I said," cot)lly answered Hank. "Taa-o men, with a big cross-cut saw were working down through it about in the middle, I think." "Sawing my trunk in two? and all my best clothes in it! Sawing it in the mieldle! And, in a towering passion, she rushed in eloors, threatening the hotel, the stage line, the railroail company, the town of Carson, and the State of Nevada with suits for damages. It was in A'ain that she Avas assureel that there was no truth in the story of the sawing that Monk was a great joker ; she could not be made to belieA-e but that her trunk hael been sawed in two until it arrived intact, ami she had examineel its contents most thoroughly. Hank's "Saratoga" joke is still remembered at the Glenbrook House, but the ladies see no fun in the yarn. Virginia City Enterprise. Locomotive Ca pricks. It is perfectly well known to experienced engineers that if a dozen different locomotive engines Avere made at the same time, of same power, for the same purpose, of like materials, in the same factory, each of these locomotive engines avouUI come out with its own peculiar whims and Avays, only ascertainable by experience. One engine will take a great meal of coal and water at once ; another will not hear to such a thing, but insists on being coaxed by spadefuls and bucketfuls. One is disposed to start off when required at the top of his speed ; another must have a time to warm at his work and to get Avell into it. These peculiarities are so accur ately mastered by skillful drivers that only particular men can persuade engines to do their best. It Avould seem as if some of these "excellent monsters," declared, on being brought from the stable. 'Tf it's Smith who is te drive, I won't go ; if it's my friend Stokes, I am agreeable to anything." All locomotive engines are low-spirited in damp and foggy weather. They have a great satisfaction in their woik at hen the air is crisp and frosty. At such a time they are A-ery cheerful and brisk, but they strongly object to haze and mists. These are points of character on Avhich they are united. It is in their peculiarities and A'arieties of character that they arc the most remarkable. A Rci.K. as is a Rvi.k. One of the new rules of the Postoflice Department instructs post masters that they must not allow postal carels to be used for abusive or obscene purposes, but jtostmaders are not ejected to read them all to see what in mi them. The violation of this rule reliefers them tin mailable, but shoulel they reach their destination through inadvertence they can only be delivered upon payment of six cents postage, the elouble-letter rate. deduct ing the one-cent stamp therefrom.

THE INQUISITIVE XEWSrATER XTAIT FIXDS OCT ALL ABOUT IIEK GET II' HOW BELLES ARE MADE. ' Dbnn Piatt, describing a visit to a cosmetic establishment in Xew York city, says: What," we asked, "are the articles that go to make the beautiful woman?" " Well, first of all is our vegetable enamel," perfectly harmless, that gives the most delicate white I may) say dazzling complexion known to the female world. See," he con tinued, taking a china pot from the counter, . "this is put on easily with a small sponge. Permit me, madam ; it is soon rempyed and leaves no trace," and saying this, he applied a small quantity te the forehead of our com panion. The result on the face of a clear brunette was startling. The inarbl smooth ness, and at the same time the satiny texture, if we may use such an expression, was marvelous. Then he took another sponge and applied a most beautiful blush, a rose color, upon the white, that was perfectly cliamiing in its natural and soft flush. "And now," he went on, " here is an exquisite in strument with which we trace the delicate blue veins that, when done, defy the micro scope of science." ' But how is it possible to make the new face and the old shoulders match?" " By making all new. The face, neck, shoulders and arms have to be treated all alike." ' And eloes this artificial process end here?" we asked. ' Ohj;.notat all ; we are only just beginning. The eyelashes anel eyes have to be treated. The eyebrows rex-eive especial attention. We can not illustrate with you, madam; nature has done so much." He might well say this, fur it is only once in a million such beautiful eye:, eyelashes and brows are given a woman, lie called to a young lady of the establishment, and said, "Miss Blank, will you permit iae?M She pleasantly assented, and taking a small ivory tablet he placed it under the eyelashes of ono eye, and then touching them dexterously and at the same time with the most delicate art, he made the lashes so decided, so pro nounced, they seemeel to actually grow. He then penciled the brow, and. when done, the effect was most decided. The young lady was a blonde, and with one eye treated and the other not treateel the result was very decided. "Certainly this is all," we said. " Not all. We give a delicate tint to the ear, a rosy steel color to the nails. We have pow ders for the teeth ; wedeave nothing imcared for that eroes to make perfection of a beautiful woman." ': Ami are these things in general use?" "Certainly ; you cannot find a brilliant com plexion that has not been maele so by art. We read with great pleasure of the beautiful women of the fashionable circles of Washing ton -ftnel the summer resorts, for we know where they come from." Q LIST OF POST-OFFICES. OKKGOX. Kaker Co.
