Shiniest of Floibto El-rope. We
learn from It. C. Kinney, Agent of tbe
Salern Flouring Mills, tbat there has
just been concluded a contract between
tbe Mills Company and a house in
San Francisco for the purchase of 5000
obis of Ertia flour to bo shipped direct
from Portland to Cork, Ireland. This
we believe to be the first shipment of
a cargo ot flour ever contemplated
direct from Oregon to a European port.
5000 bbl will make 500 ton by weight. 8
Tbe gentleman who came tip here to
make the contract expressed the opin
ion that within a year's time oar ship
ment of breadstuff will all be made
direct, instead of via San Francisco.
Tne commencement of tbe N. P. Rail
road will undoubtedly Bet the tide of
direct trade towards Portland and add
considerably to our commerce.

ed Bub," met on Bubu street, just
above Montgomery, and Iirokawa,
drawing and aiming an army size self
cocking revolver, shot Bob through
both thighs, tbe ball lodging against
the skin of the left thigh, Irom whence
it was extracted by Dr. Mouser. The
ball did not appear to have broken tbe
bones, and it was first thought tbe
wound was not likely to prove fatal,
but at half past six o'clock Bob ex
pired from hemorrhage, the main ar
tery having been severed. It is un
derstood that tbe difficulty was on ac
count of alleged intimacy with Broka
wa's wife. Brokawa was immediately
arrested. He was considerably under
tbe influence of liquor at the time.
Both parties have been known as
sports. Bob was from New York, aad
generally known as remarkably quiet,

THK FlNKST PKOTKSrANT ClICRCH IN
the CouxTttir. Last week Thursday
viituessed in new York tbe formal
opening of the new St. Thomas Church,
which is by far tbe most costiy, and
undoubtedly, the most splendid
Protestant edifice of its kiod in tbe
country. Coaoected with it is a recto

Tnere are several galleris, an almonry,
or room where alms are stored and
distributed, a chapel, vestry", robing,
choir, Sabbath school and liorary
rooms, cloisters, a lofty dome, a tower
Dot yet completed, and a porch of lofty
proportions. The architecture is, of
course, Gothic, tbe material stone, tbe
windows of glass manufactured at
Meti, France, and shipped to this
country just in time to escape the Ger
mans, and the pulpit, etc., ot oak.
The oraa is divided between the two
opposite sides of the chancel, and up
on the top ot the columns eupportiog
the dome are statues of prophets and
apostles carved, curiously, from wood
which bas served as bowsprits from
vessels long at sea, and has thus be
come thoroughly seasoned. ; This mag
nificent structure stands at tbe corner
of Fifth avenue and Fifty-third street,
und the entire cost, including lot 100
feet, by 235, does not fall short of $750,

Bayard Taylor, speaking of the

it to tbe manner in which they are

"In Poland" says be, "girls do not
jxmp Irom infancy to young ladyhood
They are not sent from the cradle di
redly to the parlor, to dress, sit still
and look pretty. No, they are treated
as children should be. During child
hood, which extends through a period
of several years, they are plainly and
loosely dressed, aud allowed to romp
and Uy in tbe .open air. Tbey take
in sunshine as does tbe flower. They
are pot loaded down, girded about,
and oppressed every way with count
less frills and superabundant flounces
go as to b admired for their much

VOL. 20 NO. 18.
Advantage of Direct Trade
Oregon appears to be at the com
mencement of an era of more substan
tial prosperity than we have ever be
fore witnessed or experienced; for if
we have prospered it has been under
difficulties, and our success bas been
attained with many obstacles in tbe
way. We have not business'enough
to do to be able to secure the most
favorable terms, and not being able to
ship our products direct to whatever
country afforded the best market, we
have been obliged to send our bread
stuffs to California, to be shipped
from thence, after paying charges to
every person who looked at them on
the way. But we have at last a direct
trade introduced, for several cargoes
bave been shipped already and more
are engaged for shipment. What we
propose is to estimate the prices re
ceived for grain bere with those paid
for wheat delivered on board ship at
San Francisco, and thereby ascertain'
what relative show the farmer has in
the two States; for this purpose we
must take as a basis tbe market quo
tations of Portland and San Francisco.
A few days ago tbe telegraph showed
tbat good wheat delivered along side
ship at San Francisco commanded $2 10
per cental, wheat being sold, and all
estimates made there for the hundred
pounds, while here we sell it by the
bushel. In New York it sells by the
bushel of 60 pounds, while in Liver
pool, as in San Francisco, tbe calcula
tion is made upon cental of 100 pounds.
At $2 10 per cental wheat would be
worth $1 26 cents per bnshel, and we
cannot seewhy at Portland,on board ship
ready to sail for Liverpool, wheat should
not be worth witbin a trifle as much as
at San Francisco, but the facts were,
taking as authority the Portland mar
ket rates, and the California telegrams
of the date, that while wheat was
worth $1 20 per bushel in California,
it was selling in Portland for 95 centj, a
discrepancy entirely ureasonable and
that should not and would not if for
eign buyers could buy cargoes and
ship them from Oregon as from San
Francisco.
This briefly and forcibly illustrates
the disadvantage under which the
people of Oregon labor and have been
always laboring, but which will be re
moved when tbe growth and develop
ment of our State and tbe progress of
internal improvements bring us ships
enough from foreign ports to bear
away our surplus products. Here
ofore the commerce of the Pacific
has been principally carried on at San
Francisco, aud we have been obliged
to pay a heavy toll at the Golden Gate ,
on everything that came to us for con
sumption or that we had &3 a surplus
to send away. We are rapidly out
growing this vassalage and are fast be
coming able to walk alone. Vessels
bave been loading this fall, at the
wharves of Portland, to go with our
products to the ports of Europe and
Asia. This commerce, having once
commenced, will increase and become
a regular business. Tbe demand in
Europe is something tbat has always
existed and we may count upon it af
fording us a profitable market for at
least another year; but the demand in
China is new and increasing at a double
ratio each succeeding year, and we
bave reason to anticipate from that
source our most reliable customer for
many years to come, as tbe great ports
on the eastern shore of Asia and of the
Islands of Japan, containing a popula
tion as wealthy as any on the face of
the globe, and it is just beginning to
acquire a taste for our breadstuffj that
will probably increase to constitute a
heavy, permanent and profitable
trade, between tbe shores of the conti
nents npon the Pacific.
As yet, direct trade has not been of
especial importance to our productions,
for speculators bave inaugurated it for
their own advantage, and make all the
profit to be made, only paying ua tbe
the price at home we conld realize by
shipping to San Francisco. We look
for improvement in this respect each
year, though it will te gradual and
only keep pace with the growth of our
commerce. Our producers have a re
course, if tbey could combine to effect
it, for it is in their power to unite
and either to employ an agent or let
one of their own nnmberactas sach,and
ship their wheat to Liverpool in vessels
chartered for that purpose. This
could be done also without nse of
much money meanwhile, for it is part
of tbe business of bankiug and ex
change to advance money to near tbe
full value on cargoes shipped in safe
vessels and well insures.
We should foster ani encourage di
rect trade by every ueans possible,
and if merchants cannot do it. let the
people themselves nndtrtake it as we
bave suggested. The real wealth of a
country does not consist of tbe mil
lions boarded in bankt, or the wealth
of tbe speculator who (rows richer by
taking every and an) advantage be
can of tbe producer, but it consists
of independent and luccessful hus
bandry and conifortablt homes, and the
poisession by the raassts of the means
to attain education to possess tbs ac
tual comforts of life.
During a recent trial , among tbe
witnesses was a verdant a specimen of
humanity as one could wish to see.
After a severe cross examination, tbe
counsel for the government piused,
and putting off a looko' severity, with
an oiuiuoua shake of the head, ex
claimed :
" Mr. Witness, has not an effort
been made to induce ym to tell ad li
ferent story ?"
" A different story frtm what I have
told, sir?"
" That is what I meat."
" Yes, Bir ; several persons have
tried to get me to tell a different story
from what I have told, but they
couldn't.
"Now sir, upon your oath, I wish
io know who those perions are."
" Well, I guessyou'vt tried about as
bard as any of them."
The witness was dismissed, while
judge, jury and spectitors indulged in
a hearty laugh at th expense of tbe
discomfited lawyer. .
The consumption cf wood in (the
United States is enoimous. Railway
sleepers alone require 150,000 a-es of
the best timber every year, The en
tire expenditure for railway buildings,
repairs, and cars, is $33,500,000. The
locomotives in the tbe Unittd States
consume $56,600,000 worth of the arti
cle. Wood industry amounts to
$500,000,000.

Convicts. -Yesterday Capt. Robin
son of Corvallis came down in charge
of Sprague, tbe young theologian who
was lately arrested for horse stealing,
as we stated the other day, and has
been sent to State prison for one year.
Flocr. The price of flour per bbl,
at the Salem Mills, is now $5 50
bbl, not $6, as we had it quoted yes
terday. This price corresponds with
the rate received by the Jttill Co. for
the cargo recently sold to go to Cork,
and is reasonable, in consideration of
present prices of grain.
Under Shelter. A tew days more
of pleasant weather and tbe new ma
chine shop and sash factory on Front
street will be roofed in in comfortable
shape. Drake's finishing shop is al
ready well covered, and Bocthby &
Stapleton s soon will be. The new
block will look well, and be quite an
addition to that part of tbe city.
The river raised about fourteen inch
es the first of the week, but as the
rain supply failed it concluded again
and at present the volume of water is
nothing extra, for even a flock of
geese to brag about, but still the
steemboats keep up their courage and
hope for better times.
Work on New Penitentiary. Mr.
Holman informs us that 800 perches of
rock bave been hauled for the founda
tion of the new penitentiary, of the
1000 perch which were wanted. Lum
ber is produced, or soon will be, for
work frames, etc., and the labor of
convicts will be ntilized in tbeir con
struction. The pleasant weather bas
been favorable to prosecution of work.
City Convention. Tbe approaching
city election seems to bave awakened
considerable interest on the street.
The feeling among Republicans ap
pears to be quite unanimously in favor
of a Convention on next Friday even
iog in arcordance with the advertised
call. More thau two hundred sigoa.
tures are attached to the petition
for the convention. A petition like
this is entitled to as much weight as
the call of a Central Committee, and.
in tbe absence of such a committee be
comes uecssary in order to secure har
mony of act'.on.
Some Geese. Last evening a party
of hunters returned from a successful
hunt in Polk county, whose swai'.s
make good goose pastures at this seas
on. G.B. We.gnor was teamster, and
the shootists were Johns Williams aad
Lis boy, John Byrne and James Falkes,
and tbey brought back nearly a wagon
load of game. There were over eighty
head, many of them geese with a nice
assortment of ducks. It was rather
the most profi'atile item we came across
that day for we carried home a mag
nificent goose and a pair of ducks as
prcof of the matter.
The Chemeketa House will probab
ly be occupied and running in good
shape before New Years. The plas
terers are finishing up the third sTory
and will probably be through this week.
On next Mondty, as Mr. Cutting thinks,
they will commence putting down the
carpsts, and the first and second stories
will be ready for the furniture. It
will be a complete institution when in
running order, but wo shall save a full
description for the formal opening.
Tbe hotel will be a great advantage
and credit as well as an ornament to
our city, and our citizens thould be
proud of the enterprise that bas secured
its erection.
Goou Byk. Yesterday morning ear
ly, toe overland stage line bid us good
bye, and tbe last of its teams, wagons,
coaches and backs went winding south
ward over the hill, never to return.
Often when the winds at night have
howled fearfully to the accompani
ment of driving rain, we have heard
tbe stage horn announce its coming
from tbe top of the hill and listened to
tbe rush of the wheels down to the
bridge, while the glare of tbe coach
lamps lit up the night with transient
gleam. Often in summer we have
watched the coming and going of the
sweating team, and laugned to see
passengers hanging on in every con
ceivable shape. It bad become one of the
things of course with us, and memory
goes back to those times, a dozen
j ears ago, when tbe stage made its
first appearance, when we were over
joyed at the reception of the daily
mail. Well 1 the overland stage is
gone, but its memories are pleasant
aed we exchange tbe toot of its horn
and the rush of its wheels for the
scream of the loccmotive and the rum
ble of the railroad trains, so we can
probably stand it.
As Elphantike Acction. Yester
day morning an event of ra-e occur
rence attracted an immense crowd to
the circus grounds of Trenton, N. J.
The event was the sale of French's
Oriental Caravan, which was disposed
of by tbe proprietor on account of
pressing business engagements in New
Orleans. The sale was conducted by
Alfred M. Harfcnees. Elephants, cam
els, performing donkeys, Shetland po
nies, and other "living curiosities"
were successively put under the ham
mer, and were sold at good prices.
The large elephant "Empress," was
sold to John O'Brien, of Philadelphia
for $5,000. A baby elephant was put
np, but tbe bids rose no higher than
$3,400 and the proprietor reserved the
animal, demanding $5,000 for her.
The train of double-bumped cimels,
thirteen in number, were sold for $5,
200, to Jacob Reed, of Philadelphia.
The same purchaser bought a baby
camel for $150. James II. McGuire,
of Trenton, bought a performing don
key for $55, that bad been held at
$400 by Mr. Fieuch; aud two Shet-
land ponies were sold to two Trenton
mea for $125 and 75. The "star"
horse of the establishment brought
$925. John O'Brien, of Philadelphia,
being the purchaser. Other perform
ing horses were sold at prices ranging
from $200 to $375.
Glvb which will units svex Pol
isiieo Steel. A Turkish recipe used
to fasten diamonds aod other precious
stones to metallic surfaces, and which
is said to strongly unite even surfaces
of polished steel, although exposed to
moisture, is as follows: Dissolve five
or six bits of gum mastic, each of the
size of a large pea, in as much spirits
of wine as will suffice to render it li
quid. In another vessel dissolve in
brandy as much isinglass, previously
softened in water, as will make a two
ounce vial of strong glue, adding two
bits of glue ammoniac, which must be
rubbed u t-til dissolved. Then mix tbe
whole, with beat. Keep in a phinl
closely stopped. When it is to be
used, set the phial in boiling water.

ing is a recommended method tor tbe
curing of eppossum and sheep skins
for domestic purposes, Lay the skin
on a smooth board, tbe fur side under
most, and tack it iu every direction
with tinned tacks. Dissolve two
ounces ot alum in a pint of warm
water, and with a sponge or flannel
rag dipped in this solution moisten tbe
surface all over; repeat this every now
and then fur three or four days. When
tbe; skin is quite dry, take out tbe
tacks, and rolling it up loosely the
long way, the bair inside, draw it
quickly backwards and forwards
through a large, smooth ring, or any
thing of a similar kind, until it is
quite soft, then roll it the contrary
way of tbe skin and repeat tbe opera-
I tion.

TJie Crown Prince and Bismarck.
From the London correspondent of
the New York World we copy this :
It is very well known in these cir
cles that the divergence of opinions
between Count Bismark and the Crown
Prloce in regard to tbe further pro
longation of the war, baa ripened into
a quarrel, and that the latter makes
very little secret of his opinion that
Bismarck, whose influence over the
Kinir increases every day, is leading
Praseia into perils from which escape
will be very difficult. There is a strong
peace party in Germany, and tbe
Crown Prince, openly to some extent,
encourages and favors its members.
This Crown Prince, by the way, is a
very queer fellow. lie talks very free
ly about himself his father, bis wife,
bis mother, and the future of Germa
ny. "I do not make any pretentions
to wisdom," said he tbe other day ;
"I know that I am not wiseor prudent ;
Heaven never cut me out for a brave
man, and I shall always be dependent
on wiser nieu than myself I catr see
plain enough how deplorable is the in
fluence which Count Bismarck exerts
over tbe King. It was always so the
King has always been under th thumb
of a Minister aod a woman ; be gets
tired of tbe woman and changes her
pretty often ; but Bismarck fascinates
biro, and he cannot shake him ntf."
The truth is that the conduct of King
William, never eery exemplary, has
been positively shocking since be wen',
to the whis, and the unctious hypocri
sy with which he for a while paraded
the name of God as bis "pall," was
inexpressibly ludicrous to those who
knew the manner of his daily walk
and conversation. Queen Augusta
and his Mejesty had scarcely spoken to
each other lor months until the break
ing out ot the war, and wheu, alter
war was declared, the royal couple
were seen riding uuder the lindens to
gether, the people of Berlin could
scarcely believe their eyes. During
the campaign' bis Majesty has given
daily proof of the truth tbat "Love
rules the camp, the court, the grove ;"
and the stories about the pretty girls
who bave enjoyed his intimacy at every
place wher headquarters have been
setup even for a week, would make
tbe fortune cf any sensational writer
who had the good luck to get hold of
them The Crown Prince himself, al
touugh by no means an ascetic, has
been a model of virtue compared to
bis parrU. Hot I must not run on with
this gossip. The point I set out to
make was that in 'he opinion of the
Crown Prince and his party which is
numerous in the army as well as at
home Bismarck made a fatal mistake
iu failing io conclude peace .-ither iiL
medialelv after Sedan or 'it Ferneres.
Aud Bismarck hiu self seems to share
this opinion, as the following incident i
tends to show :
Tbe other flay, at a dinner party giv- j
en by Bismarck, he was complimented j
by some of bis guests upon tbe great !
fame be had already secured, and upou j
the certainty tbat he would be i minor- !
tal as the first statesman of this ?oun- !
try. Bismarck received thse congratu- !
lations wuh gravity, aud thus replied : 1
"I am by no meaus certain of wbut t
you say ; I have too long yet to live; j
were I as old as Mollke now, I should i
have no fears ; be is so old that he !
must soon die, and it is not at. all prob
able that in the short life be has left to '
him he will make an)' blunders that '
will rob him of bis fame. But I nt i
still youn, and tbe chance are ninety
nine to a hundred, tbat before I die, I
shall make such a fool of myself thai ;
all the good things I have done will be
forgotten. I am aDt sure, in fact, that
the blunder has not been already i
made !" I
Duivinu Away Ants. To rid a
house of ants, all that is necessary is
to procure a larue sponge, wash it well
and press it dry, which will leave the
cells (iiiie open; then sprinkle over it
some fine while sugar, and place it
where "the anis are troublesome.' They
will soon collect tiiton the snntiire Rr.d

'l ' City LlertltAi.'
We regret to see a great excitement
on tbe street umong a portion of the
Republicans of Salem, as to the pro
priety of calling a Convention to nom
inate a ticket for the coming city elcc-
n. We had no knowledge of this
call until it was offered us lor publica
tion. Tbe first impression we had io
that connection with the matter was a
regret tbat such a step bad been taken,
for we have never favored the holding
of conventions heretofore. We ob
served that the call had been signed by
many promising men of tbe Republi
can party and published it with that an
nouncement. It seems that a very de
termined opposition bas arisen to the
Convention, acd a remonstrance bas
been numerously signed, as we are in
formed, and the preeect aspect of the
matter is an impending break among
our city Republicans over a very un
important matter. The remonstrants
deny that there are the number of
signers claimed io tbe call, and vice
vena. We bave no personal informa
tion as to tbe number on each, except
as given by our friends who represent
each. We do know that there were
fifty very respectable names to the
fir9t call, aod they were of weight and
influence enough to induce us to fore
go opposition to it for tbe sake of har
mony.
The Convention is called for this
evening, ana we nope it win oe at
tended by every Republican in Salem,
and conducted with a fairness and
unanimity tbat shall insure general
satisfaction. A general attendance
will insure good results, even if notb-
g shall be done but to vote to ad
journ i'n! die, which the majority can
decide to do it it considers that it is
best not to make nominations. We
bave no sympathy with tbe ambition
of any one to be Mayor, or Recorder
or Marshal of the city, but propose to
exercise tbe freedom of franchise as
may teem agreeable regardless of any
individual aspiration. It there is a
fair Convention held it will satisfy us,
and its nominations will secure tbe
one vote we have to give.

. The Swamp Land Business.
The Sacramento Union of late a date
has the following:
We primed tbe other day a letter
from E. O. F. Hasting to the Surveyor
General nf this State, reviewing, in
his way, Julian's bill to better define
swamp and tide lands, etc The first
section of the bill proposes to restore
all lauds that bave bean selected as
swamp and overflowed by the States
under the act of 18."ii, tbat are in fact
not swamp and river fl lwed, to the Gov
ernment of the United States. To this
just and reasonable proposiiion Hast
ings objects, because, as be says, "it
would deprive tbe State of a large
amount ol land claimed as swamp and
overflowed, which has been sold by
tbe State to purchasers iu good faith."
This is no argument at all, but the
poorest of special pleading. It the
ate, through the corrupt practices of i
land-grabbers in league n itu f iithless
local otlicers, h-.is poseeis-.d itself ot t
thousands of acres of lands not to be I
class:-d by any reasonable interpreta
tion ot law as Mwamp and overflowed,
the tranSHCli.ms ebould In treated 8 1
simple frauds and set aside ju-t in tbe
way Julian's bill proposes. The .State
j of California does cot asK this wrong
on the United States. It is tbe doing
I of men who seek to put the State in a
f lp position aed mnke iheir fortnoes
' by it. No prt of the honest people
j would be benefited by allowing the
! public lands not swamp nud over-'
j flowed to pass from the General G iv
i ernment into the band of tbe State
only lo be transferred to incorporated
I land-grabbers, whose plan and inter-
est it is to at ooce advance the price
i from the Government minimum of
! $1 per acre to $.", $10, $15 or S'.'n,
j according to eitualioo. These fellows
j have been using the name of the State
i and the good reputation of the school
I fund io cover up the tracks of their
) speculations about long enough. The
1 people who ha7e an interest iu obtain
j ing cheap lands at Government prices,
; without a cloud resting on the title,
I begin to understand the pume that is
j being pl-Med, and tbey wunt just such
a hi.l rf fining swamp lands as this of
; Juli'in.
! The third section also comes in lor a
I tiiare of II is'ings' olij-c;ioiiB. It reads:
'That where lands selected as MV itup,
ore disposed of under ny law nf tbe
' Pnited States, or to which any adverse
j ritfht may he attached under m y law
! of th I" ni ted States prior to Ihe issu
j ing of patent under Ihe swamp grant,
sVch ilisp isition shill he considered as
establishing the arnble condition of the
le.nds disposed c-f as aforesaid, and
they shall be accordingly rejected as
swamp anil stricken from the swamp
lists." This Hustings calls "very mis
chievous," because -'it would uusetile
titles and throw open M vexatious liti
g'ion 'he ric;ht to lands purcb:tspd in
good fwth, Hii-l wonld iu fact deprive
ti e purchater and possessor of tbe
land.'" Such an expression is the
shallowest sophistry. If the land is
disposed of under any law ot the Unit
ed States, the fact is yrimv fiicie proof
that it is amble nod not swamp. Tbe
disposition referred to is by the home
stead or pre-emption laws. The section
exactly meets the needs of thousands
of i-ettlers like those in Sierra, Beck
worth and American valleys, where
pre-emption claims have been laid in
good l.iiih and valuahle improvements
made on the land. Had these regions
been in fact unfit for cjitivation
ne
chse they were swamp aud overflowed
! in any reasonable interpretation of the
act ot lhjO, no settler would hare
j thought of laying his pre-erapt'on or
j horccatend claim there. The Julian
bill, so far from "unsettling titles,"
! as Hastings alleges, is intended to and
I would bave the effect of confirming
i this large class of actual cultivators iu
' ll.iir ritfht to their farms and improve- j
men's, whom tne pperulators under I
1 the State swamp and overflowed claims I
! seek to oust and despoil l-y setlio up i
; an adverse title. Julian's bill leaves i
no loom for any title in
! that held by the I'uited ?
! Tbe most phiusable atgiiment urged
i in favor of the iudtliuite right of the
i Slates 10 lands under the act of ISjU is,
! ihst whatever is lost to ihe Slates will j
' go into the clutches of great railway
, corporations. This argument is pre-
seutcd wiih peculiar force in Cihfor
; nia, where the laws of Congress have
! given great latitude to raihvnr
cotnpauies in selecting their land
( prams. We admit the existence of the
! dilemma; but we don't see. how na
' thinu is in be gained by preferring ihe
first to the fevocd class of speculators,
j The laud-crabbers under ihe State's
; claim may oust the oldest settler uuder
the homestead or pre-emption laws,
i and take away all bis improvements.
j The railway corporations can't do that.
1 hey are bound to respect all those
w ho settled in good faith, up to a spec
ified time, mid have complied with the
requirements of the law. If they se
cure any wild lands more than thev
j would without a law defining what is
meant oy swamp ana oveiiliwea tracts,
much as that circumstance is to be re-
gretted, ut least they are not likely to
prove more greedy io the price demand-
ed from small purchasers than the class
of speculators uow nosing about in
every corner of State to monopolize
every tract with water enough on it to
afford a natural pasture. We want,
above all things, our titles settled, j
Tbey never can be until Congres by j
law takes it out of tbe power of specu- j
lators in swamp and overflowed lands
to dispossess or vex and annoy the aci- j
nal and Aoni tide settlers under the
pre-emption and homestead laws.

are manufactured that the ladies use.
The French war ia preventing the man
ufacture, and tbey anticipate a scarcity
of kid gloves, and all the beautiful
things that cost so much. Tbe idea of
these goods being any dearer is alarm
ing, tor moat ot us find tbern high
as it is, but if they are to rise so high
that most of os cannot reach them,
probably tbe best thing to be done is
to secure now a reasonable supply from
Mrs. Moxley and oiher dealers, so as
to prevent them from doubling the
price ou them after a while.
Ws wast good Mkn The coming
City election is importaut, because the
men we elect to the City Council will,
half of them, bold that position for
two years, and during that time tnauy
matters of importance will arise to de
mand tbeir action. The present Ci'y
Council has had before it very import
ant propositions which involve the
future welfare of our city and its best
interests. It has acted with prudence
in granting no franchise until tbey
were actually demanded by public ne
cessity, and we must select men as
tbeir successors wbo will not speculate
themselves, nor favor tbe speculntions
of friends wbo may want good things
thrown in tbeir way. Tbe city must
look within tbe next two years for a ,
water supply from some source ; we
must bave a street railroad provided
for. end there may be other franchises
asked for, and we suggest tbat we se
lect men mxt Monday wbo can be en
tirely depended on to attend to the in
terests uf tbe city, and not sell us out
to tbe highest bidder, as is frequently
tbe ease when a place begins to grow
and become of some account.
