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.

"Something t-hould be done to n

cities and witli railroad stations, v hencecoUiplaints

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

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.

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.
Some years ago I lost my wile; she left me
with five orphan children to take care of. I
married the second wife, and .he i.s weakly.
My friend, Mr. Jarvie, is a man of property.
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

and give it to me fur one term, ami then you

And If Oalvin Jones could have resisted
this, we would not care about taking his

Mist bkAhando.ned. 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.

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

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

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

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

Saratoga. This morning, writes "Eli Per

Senator Robertson, an old ami proud resielent

Slates, and commenced ingratiating himself

"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;

"You did, sir."
"Oh ! yes, sir. I knew some of the greatest

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.

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.

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
