i Mflon Statesman AND UNIONIST. SALEM, FRIDAY, : : : : : FEB. IS WrdBMdar, Feb. 16. A Good Boy. Mr. Coon gave a two dollur and a halt piece to a little purchaser of Val entines yesterday, by mistake, for a, dime. The boy, instead of keeping it. as most bovs, and wo are afraid most men wonid hare done, returned. to tho store and corrected his mis take as soon as be discovered it. Mr. B. says there is one honest man to be in the rising generation. F ucorahle fiettle menf. Tho particular object of Mr. Earbart's journey East was to procure a settlement of tho accounts of J. W. P Huntington, deceased, late Superintendent of Indian Affairs, with the United States ; and we learn from him that he was successful in passing through every matter of importance, and there seems to bj no doubt that the ulti mate settlement of the affairs of the late Su perintendent will be satisfactorily effected. 1'ork Station Over. Mr. Thomas Cross in forms us that he yesterday received a lot of hogs, which he suppose will bo the last lot he will pack this season. He will, when these are killed and packed, have - slaughtered over 5,000 hogs, most of them very fioo and heavy, over 2,000 of them fattened in his own pens. We shall be able to give fuller particulars of his business, for the benefit of Oiegon farm ers, in a short while. Mr. Cross does business s successfully that his operation havo an im portant bearing on the best interests of our State. , The Salem Opera llousa has bad honorable mention of late in Eastern papers, with some exaggerations as to its cost, however. Mr. Ear-ha-t says, as be was attending the National Theater, in Washington one night, which, by the way, is a very ordinnry affair, he was ask ed if Ave had any theaters in Oregon, ami as tonished tho questioner by a description of Reed's Opera House. Ouo of the listeners proved to be an editor, aud the world was as tonished the next morning to re;id that Salem, Oregon, was to have hu Opera House to cost ouo hundred thousand dollars. The story lost nothing by getting into print. Cumjlimentary. We find in tho Herald the following Grstrute notice of an address deliv ered in Portland on Sunday evening last, by tb.3 Uev.C. R. Bonnell, of this place : The speaker has a fire voice, and graceful and pleasing enunciation. He was distinctly and attentively heard throughout, and portions of his discourso wero delivered with marked and appropriate pathos and beauty. In dealing with the Scripture narrative the speaker was especially happy, and discovered an accuracy of learning, a delicacy of introspection, and a ' power of lively description very unusual. Gas-fitting. -Mr. C. A. Reed leccived by yesterday's boat, 4,000 feet of gas-pipes with the necessary T's, elbows, etc., for his Opera House. Ho has secured the services of Messrs. Huoniber fc Barrel, two experienced gas-fitters who have been employed in this business for tho past five years in Portland. Tbcy com mence work to-day, and will finish up the job with all possible dispatch. The expenses of fitting the building will be much enhanced by the number of meters which are required. No less than fifteen gasometers will be put up at first, aud it is probable that still more will be required when all the apartments are occu pied. The same parties will aiso lay a complete set of water pipes connecting the tank at the top of tho building with all parts of the house. Wo are glad to note that all the arrangements of our splendid Opera House are to be made on a scale commensurate with that of the building itself, which will no doubt bo tho pride of the city fot a long time to como. Thnndnr, Feb. 17. )it!thry Seized. Assistant Collector Mel lon sends us the following laconic communi cation, from which it appears that our friend Mathiot must have neglected some of the nec essary preliminaries when he engaged in mak ing his fine Oregon wines : Ed. Statesman : I have seized tho distil lery belonging to Edward Mathiot, living near Butteville. Cause, illicit distilling. W. A. K. Mkllck, Assessor 4th I)is. Oregon. Tho Salem Dramatio Troupo, as will be seen by the announcement in this morning's paper, are making arrangements for a per formance of the groat play of 'The Gambler,' on Saturday evening. The Company is hav ing tlio advantage of preparation under the training of an efficient teacher, as Mr. Pier pont Thayer, an actor of merit, has met with them at rehearsals and given thorn the benefit of bis talented experience. Arrival. The locomotive " Oregon," by which we all expect to be taken to I'orthmd next Fourth of July, has salely reached its destination in East Portland. It weighs 28 tons and its tender seven tons. It w;is towed across the continent from I'hiUdelpliu to 'San Francisco, and thence shipped on the bark Webfoot. Another engine, the "Port land," came to San Francisco at the same time, and is there now. awaiting shipment to Portland. Our foreman came Inst evening with a se rious question ; snid he : "Was that a good five dollar piece you paid me tho other day '!" We assured him that it must Lave been. "I m glad to hear it," said he, "because my lit tle boy has swallowed it, and I want to bo sure that it will pass." Our readers and pat rons will fully realize the necessity of prompt collections in our business when they learn that the young shoots are fed on gold coin. Fortunately greenbacks are no longer legal tender and won't go down with them. Meteorological. Mr. T. Pcarce's weather record for January was unaccountably delayed, but it is better late than never. We find from his tables that January 1st and 2d were foggy all day ; 3d to Oth, inclusive, clear ; 10th to 16th rainy j 17th clear, on this day occurred an eel ipso of the moon, total at 5hs. and 45ui. a. in. From the 18th to tho 23d was rainy ; 24th clear ; 25th to 2Sth rainy ; 29th foirirv : 30th cloar ; 31t cloudy. Total rain fall, 4 35-100tbs. inches ; number of rainy days 17 ; clear i) ; cloudy 2 J foggy 3. Heavy t hunder in the north-west on tho luth. Mean temperature for the month, 37 ; highest mean 48 on tho 23d ; lowest moan 20 on the 18th. Comparing with 186'J, we have for January of that year, mean temperature, 37, highest mean 4S, on the 4th, and lowest 28, on the 22d. Under a Cloud. The Polk county Timet has uudergone a change ; the right of Stewart family has ceased, and one "Square Turner," whoover be may be, has succeeded to the re version of tho Timet. Now, we desire tbat this estimable journal shall be virtuous and happy, and may be a lesson of a practicable nature can assist it in so being, therefore we give it. A fortnight or so ago our city was visited by a "print," who was flush of small ehange and who re n linoi among us long enough to in vest much of it in late suppers, and frequent drinks, and who finally got aboard a steamer and went down the river. His explanation of why he had not money to pay his fare was simple end affecting. He had betted off what small change had not gone for meat and drink, and was travelling on his editorial dignity, and for want of it, he and his editorship was put ashore at Wheatland. The only excuse to bo made for the clerk who would put an ed itor ashore for so natural a eause as want of funds, is, that no Oregon editor could be sup posed to have money to gamble with. So the purser had good cause to think our hero was n deceiver. We don t wonder that the Time s been sold, for any man who had been put " h:re penniless at Wheatland and was oblig ed to foot it to Dallas through the mud of this winter, must have felt badly sold, and have naturally felt like selling something to get even. The Plaindealer. This is tho proposed ti tle for a new weekly paper to be started at ltoseburg. We have received a prospectus, setting forth that, actuated by a desire to es tablish a permanent business in that section, tho publisher will undertako the task of defend ing the helpless white man. It is to have for a guide, "tho Constitution as it was," and will bpposu the "pending and proposed amend ment." Terms, $2 50 per annum, and will "shy his castor into the ring" about the 10th of. March next. Friday, February IS. Coming to Salem! Mr. C. A. Reed has shown us a telegram from Mr. F. M. Bates, dated Portland, Feb. 17th, stating that the Bales troupe will play in Salem, on Wed nesday the 23d, at tho Opera House. The piece selected for the evening is the sensation al play of "Under the Gas Light," 'a very popular play and one in which this troupe has met with much success. Buying and Scllimj. Messrs. Morris A Bean havo purchased of Mr. Dclaney the livery stable on the corner of Court and Commercial streets, near this office, and have already set np in their new business. They paid for the establishment complete, ' the sum of $1,000, giving in part payment a two-thirds interest in the Dray and' Hack Company at 2,000. Delany also has started in business, so that things go on as before excepting a chango in ownership. Xot Yet Sold. Mr. James lleatherly writes us that tho report as to Jo. Teal having pur chased the lleatherly estate is incorrect. Wo copied the item as a matter of news from some of our exchanges, ami gladly make tho correc tion. Tho place is advertised to bo sold at Sheriff s sale on the 8th day of March, and iu tho meantime Mr. lleatherly will be happy to show anyone over the grounds at any time be tween this and the day of the auction . He thinks the report was started to keep bidders away from the sale, and hence this correction. Reward. Sheriff Murphy has received from the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Ken tucky a proclamation offering a reward of $000 for tho arrest and return to the jail of Daviess county, of one Albert Tanner, who is accused of the murder of Thos. I). Wiggins, in De cember, 186'J. "Tanner is about 20 years old, 5 feet 9i inches high ; sandy complexion, weighs about 195 pounds ; brown gray eyes, sandy hair, square built, small mustache and light beard on the side of his face." If any of our muscular friends meet such a man. here is a chance to turn an honest penny. Distinguished Arriral. A year or so ago, an individual visited our city who became fa mous, and known all over the coast by the title accorded him i.y the Unionist of Big Hungry. He earned the appellation by being always an hungered, and always wanting small change to satisfy his inordinate appetite, for with him nothing went amiss, quarters, halves and the entire hog being needed for his ravenous stomach. Leaving here, he went to Califor nia and the name of "big hungry" followed him. It may be possible that be has come back for be is back for the purpose of leav ing his name where he first earned it, and then making a new start in the world. Those Premiums. Wo published a commu nication recently, relating to tho award of pre mium cups to ladies, lately made by the State Agricultural Society. It appears that the Board of Managers claim to have awarded these prizes according to their intent when the offer wes originally decided upon, and it is claimed that it was not worded to literally ex press that intent. We sincerely desire the prosperity of that Society, and fully believe that its officers have acted in good faith ac cording to their ability to perform. It may have been better that the Society should not disappoint those persons who thoughti they had a reasonable claim to the silver cups, but we sincerely hope all will consider the circum, stances and be satisfied to make as great ef forts in the future. The necessity of having matters plainly understood is now evident, and future misconceptions can probably be avoided. COMMERCIAL NEWS. Salem, Friday, Feb. 18, 1870. During the past week, almost the only arti cles of CountryjProduce brought into market have been Egjfs and Butter, both of which have a downward tendency. Eggs can be had as low as 15 cents. Butter ranxes from If for a poor article to 30c. for prime fresh, the latter scarce and in good demand, while good brine is plentiful at medium prices. Green Apples are in demand, and no donbt will soon be scarce. No changes in the domestic retail mar ket, although the wholesale price bas varied in many instances. One "remarkable instance of this is Tobacco, which is quoted below at rates continually fluctuating with the price of gold; where gold rises tobacco does the same, and both fall together in every instance, thus keep, iug a uniform price in currency tor the tobacco, but really varying the price to those who deal on a coin basis. Wheat in Liverpool, after going down to the unusually low'iiure of S. 10d., has risen to '.Is perewt. There seems but little likelihood '.f much better figures than at present.

In the Empire of Japan, one man will lead a horse, when attached to a plow, while another holds the plow to mark out the field, or to plow out the ground between the rows of growing plants. In many places in New Jer sey, the practice is etill in vogue. The man that cannot both hold and drive, is not competent to receive the usual wages of a profitable laborer. Life in Texas makes a man suspi cious. A gentleman struck a match in a hotel room tho other day, and his brother immediately fired at the Bound supposing it to bo tho cocking of a pistol, and shot him dead. Lord Chesterfield once remarked that even Adam, the first man, knew the value of politeness, and allowed Eve to have the first bite at the ap ple. The Gold Matter. Tbe examination of Jamps Fisk. Jr., and Jay Gould before the House Committee on Hanking and Currency, it was thought by some, would lead to certain disclosures tm plicatina; unfavorably General Grant and Secretary llontwell iu the lato gold opera tions in New 1 oik. Hut it no appears that the sharp financiers of that city, in stead of ringing in those distinguished of ficials in their schemes, in order to give them an Kir of respectability and enable tbem to uiiike money by the wholesale, suc ceeded admirably in placinir good sized rings on their own persons. When General Grant was on bis pleasure excursion North in September, he was actually besieged by these operators, according to their own tes timony, professedly to obtain his views on the financial question, but really to induce him to favor by some brief word or signifi cant action the rise in the price of gold so that they could make a few millions and suitably reward those who might aid them in their schemes. The President was first given a private dinner on board Fisk's boat to lioston. at which both Fisk rnrl Gould were present and others of the Wall street fraternity. The necessity for ibe rise in the price of gold wa3 urged with wonderful tact and persistency, but Grant ate and drank, then listened and ate, then replied in monosylables, then listened and smoked but did not talk gold worth a cent. After considerable boreing. he did say that in his opinion the resumption ol specie payment ought to take place as soon as the state of the country would permit. This was not exactly what the schemers wanted. They had speculation in their eye. so they press ed the matter still lnrther cn the gold rise but Grant could not see it. lie briefly in formed them that he had not come North on business, but on pleasure he was bent ; and Fisk & Gould concluded that their steamboat dinner wus pretty much of a failure as a speculation. I he evidence be fore the Congressional Committee shows that one of these sharps, Gould, took pains. on the return of the President from Boston to lay siege to him again while recreating at Long Branch, but made, as before, little progress. Subsequently they changed their tactics in order to circumvent the military strategist, and made friends with Corbin. a near relative of Grant, who gave them as surances that he could fix matters. Corbin first wrote to the President somewhat in definitely, got an indefinite reply, but pro ceeded to assure Fisk & Gould that it wut "all right." Tl ey con d not see by any ac tions of Grant or lioutwell that it was "all right.". and so Corbin went to Washington to visit the President. lie came back could give no details ; but was satisfied it was again "all right." The speculators laid their plnns to operate in gold ; did op eraie ; urani anil jiouiweu did not come to lime, but sent a torpedo which exploded tneir little arrangement anil brought tbem to grief. The ntfair, according to the testi mony of these distinguished financiers, nearly finished their mortal career on this earth in a monetary point of view, but the country was benefitted. Sacramen lo Union. A Situation Open. The romance of the runaway darkey was quite put out after the people of the North and South had picked their flints for the final shot. Once in a while, however, there comes a reminiscence which shows Sambo's native humor, and how irresistible was his hankering for the "boon of lreedom." Before the war there came into the bar room of a hotel in Canada, near the frontier, a bright looking negro, who was thus addressed by one of the eminent persons usually found in such resorts : "I spose you're a runaway . lave." said one, looking sharply at the new-comer. Feeling that lie was pretty well away from bondage, the darkey responded that bo was. "Ah, indeed ; well, we're glad of it; but you don't seem to ionk very poor have good clothes down South?" " Certainly." said the darkey, with some pride '-Same clothes as my master." " But you got many a good thrashing eh V ' Never had a whipping in my lite." "Never thrashed!"' said another ; "well, but you niggers don't always get enough to eat, do you f ' "Always had enough, getnmen ; never went hungry."' "What!"' said tho interrogator, ''good clothes, no punishment, plenty to eat. Now," said he. turning to the group, "only think of it ! this fellow has left a position where he enjoys all these privileges for an un certainty." ' (iemmen," said the darkey, "all I'se got to say respeetin' dem privileges is, dat if any wants to avjil ln-ve f of 'etn, de silu atiim am ulill open ! Kimtor's Dkawkk, in Harper's Jlijazuie for February. Stewart's Stoke. EI ward Cropsey tells of A. T. Stewart's ".-tore" in New York city "that the average d;iily sali-s have been: silk, $15,000; dress go.c's. $(J 00J ; mus lins. $3,000 ; laces, $2,000; shawls. 2..500 ; suits. $1,000 ; hosiery. Su'O!) ; boys' clothing, $700 : Yankee notions. SOuO ; emhrodier ies. $1,000 ; carpets. S5.500. The total av erage daily receipts of the entire establish ment nro $80,000. and have been known 10 r ac-h $87,000. To do ull this business it rc quiivs an army of employees. There is one general superintendent nnd nineieen superintendents of department nine cashiers, tv. enty-five book-keepers, thirty ushers, fifty-live porters, two hundred cash boys, uine hundred seamstresses, and others in the manufacturing department (in cluding the laundry), three hundred and twenty clerks, of whom a small portion are women, nnd one hundred and fifty in the Carpet department. Without particulariz ing further, it is sufficient to state that with the extra help often required twenty-two hundred persons are usually required to discharge the duties of the establishment. Such figures were never known in the trade of a single house. It is because they are so exceptional and so fast that I have given them. The number ot persons visiting the store in a single day has hnen estimated to to reach fifty thousand, on some rare occa sions, such a open ng days ; the average daily number is placed at fifteen thousand. And thus traffic is no respector of persons, the wealthy dame in quest of silks and vel vet and the poor working woman in -want of a cheap calico dress, tere meet on a common level. Gioaxtic Experiment. The Russian Gov ernment is making a very important expe riment. The Oxus now flows into the Sea of Aral. It once flowed into the Caspian, its old bed being still visible enough to be a feature in maps. If it could be brought back the Russians would have an unbroken and impregable water communication from the Baltic to the heart of Khiva, nnd with further improvements to Balkh would, in fact, be able to ship stores at Cronstadt for Central Asia, and send them without land carriage. The addition to their power would be enormous; for instance, tbey could send 10,000 riflemen almost to Afghan istan by water, and without any sound aud ible to the west, and their engineers think it can be secured. Anjenergetic officer, with 1.800 hundred men, is already on the south bank of tbe Caspian, and natives are re ported friendly, tbat is, we suppose, quiet, and tbe Russian Government has tbe.menns through its penal regiments, of employing forced labor on a grat scale. A California Tragedy. An Eastern pa per says : ' ! " A hotel keeper in Evans. California, was shot dead by a boarder because be bad not reserved a seat for him at the first table. Though possibly correct in tho main fea tures, there are some errors in tbe foregoing statement that might as well be corrected. Being personally cognisant of the facts, we can correct the statement. The boarder did not kill the landlord for the reason assigned. The boarder made no fuss about the seat. The boarder was not at the hotel when tbe landlord was killed. Tbe landlord waa not there when the killing took place. The landlord was not killed. There is no hotel at Evans. There is no such place as Evans in Cal ifornia. With these exceptions the story of the killing is correctly and tersely told. Transcript. Mork Secret Societies.-A correspondent of the Idaho Statesman, dating from Indian apolis, Jan. 2itb. says : A new secret soci- ty, known ns the "Patrons of Husbandry.' is making great headway, especially in tbe Western States. It claims to have a ritual as Biiblime as tbat of Masonry, but to ini tiatory ceremonies are so arranged as to ad mit both sexes. The wives, daughters and sisters, equally with their male rela'jves, being eligible to membership. The sym bolism is based upon agricultural pursuits ; the lodges are known as granges, and be yond the ordinary objects of charity and the cultivation of good social relations, it has a special purpose of losterinjr agricul tural pursuits and protecting agriculturists. From what I have seen of it in this State I am disposed to think this new order i3 des tined to a career of prosperity aud useful ness. Sweet Oil. It is not generally known, says the Yreka Journal, that we have an oil factory in Siskiyou, but such is the case. Mr Schlieht of Shasta river, is manufacturing from the seed of the common sunflower an article certainly equal, and we think superior, to any that has been brought to Yreka. It can be used for all purposes to which sweet oil can be applied, and for the table it is un excelled by the beFt of olive oil. The flight of a hawk, when its powers are fully exerted , has been calculated at 150 miles an hour ; of the eider duck 90 miles. The Ameri can passenger pigeon will fly a mile a minute, and the albatross 60 miles an hour. The life of an old lady at Windsor, England, was saved by her pet parrot, who, seeing her in flames, called out to her sleeping son, 'Harry, get up !' What sort of taste must a party have whose organs are as indecent as the 'ast is sue of the Mercury ? A Mobile youth recently read from his Bible : 'Let not the wicked trump over me.' It you won'd have a desirable head of hair and retain it, ne Hall's Vegetable Sicilian Hair Reuewer, the most wonderful discovery of modern times. FAYING W We tako pleasure in announcing that our subscribers have been paying np lately in large numbers, and we desire to acknowledge the fact with many thanks. We enclose, this week, circulars to those whose subscriptions have ran six months, and are unpaid. We hope they will receive the same as a reminder, without considering it as a disagreeable dun. We havo greatly increased tho amount of reading in the Statesman of late, and our ef forts to satisfy meet with general appreciation. If our subscribers can pay up after their sub scription has run six months, we can manage to keep on improving the paper and adding to its value and prosperity. Many of them pay up entirely in advance, which is very satisfac tory, of course. ...! -!L.1.-..L. 3 ITIAKKIK I). In Walla Walla, Jan. 31st, by Kev. P. P.. Chamberlain, Mr. E. II.
