lie has about perfected arrangements
for flight and tliat' any moment may
witness his departure. Yesterday he
was said to be trying to dispose of his
Erie stock. W ell ltilormeu t ammany
ites think it will take some time to
render jiortable his great wealth, but
it is definitely known that most oi ins
property has been undergoing conver

past, lits many assignments mare it
a matter of ease for him to leave on
short notice. Tweed's resignation is
believed to be in tlie liands of Mayor
Hall, and will probably be made pub
lic in a few days. N'o appointment
lias been made to fill his place, though
tiie. Mayor lias been endeavoring to
force the place upon several. There is
much difficulty in obtaining persons to
accept any vacant olllees under Tam
many since the eloction. The Mayor
lias been unable to get men to take
any of the important places receutly
made vacaut. There is so little time
between now and the meeting of the
Legislature, when it is expected the
whole city government will be re-cast,
that is likely tne vacancies existing

will, however, be excluded from mem
bership. Since the electiou honest
men are fast leaving Tammany, whose
power seems to be completely over
thrown. . It U understood that Samuel
G. 'Courtney will be Cliairman of the

Mysterious Disappearance
Tlie Enterprise gives the following
account of the mysterious disappear
ance of Mr. Jordan, one of tlie con
tractors 'for tlie construction of tlie ca
nal and locks around tlie Willamette
Falls at Oregon City i
One week flro to-day Mr. Jordan
left Oregon City and went to Portland
for the avowed purpose of getting
funds with which to pay tlie laborer ,
employed on tlie works. Arriving in
that city, ho held several conversations '
with certain parties, and acted as if be,
M-as greatlv annoyed.' On Sunday lie
wrote to Mr. Lord, who bad cluree ot
tlie work, that his business would re-
iitire hi proceeding to San Francisco,
and that lie would leave on tlie Ajax
on Monday. He, however, did not go
on tliat steauier. but got on tlie after
noon train at Milwaukee, ami went
south, keeping out of view while pass
ing through Oregon Lity.
We are informed tliat the contract
ors are verv heavily Involved. They
are in debt at Portland to a eonsidera- '
ble amount, and in this city. Mr.
Lord, who has indorsed for them, is
said to be the loser of about $18,000;
Mr. Charman, of this city, about
15,000. and a nunilicr of smaller ac-
eotuits around town, probably to the
amount ot $5,000 more. They are al
so in debt on their pay rol to tne
hands aliout $G,000.
This last sum tlie Lock Company
propose to pay so that the laborers will
not lose anything. Cant. Smith, tlie
CompaiiyVengiiieer. has taken cliarge
or the work and will continue to pros
ecute it on behalf of the Company, as
fast as tlie conditions of the weather
will lHrniit.
The Art of Demonstration.
Tlie value of the higher matliema
tics as a study is not fully nettled, but
as a preparatory or discipline for tlie
law, there ought to oe put one opinion.
We were once informed by a lawyer,
whose success in tlie profession entitled
his opinions to much weight, tliat he
seldom argued an important cast; with
out first having devoted several hours
to Euclid or Legendre. The advocate
of niatlK-matics are making use of the
following, alleged to be words of Mr..
Lincoln :
" I -read law,' as tlie phrase is, tlint.
is. I liecame a lawyer's clerk In Spring
field, and copied document, and pick
ed up what I could of law, in the in
tervals of other work. But your ques
tion reminds me of a bit of education
I had, which I am bound in liouesty to
mention. In the course ot my law
reading. I constantly cume upon the
word 'demonstrate.'" I thought at first
tliat I understood its meaning, but
soon became satisfied tliat 1 did not. I
said to myself. "What do I mean when
I demonstrate, more tlian when I rea
son or prove ? How docs demonstra
tion differ from any other proof', I
consulted W ebster's dictionary. Tliat
told of 'certain proof.' proof beyond
tlie possibility of a doubt ;" hut I could
form no idea wliat sort of proof that
was. I thought a great many things
were proved beyond the jiossibility of
a doubt, without recourse to any such
extraordinary process of reasoning as
I iiiidertood ibuaniitrtiiun to lie. I
eon-tilted all the dictionaries and
lxks of ttifcrcnee I could find, but
with no U tter results. You might
ju-t as well have defined blue to a
blind man. At last I said to myself,
Lincoln, you can never make a law
yer of yourself if you do not under
stand what demonstrate means;' anil
I left my ?ituatio!i in Springfield, went
home ti my father' house and stayed
there until"! could give any proposi
tion in the six books of Euclid. I
then found out what demonstrate
meant, and went back to my law
studies." .Wring L-if .waui.

tetr in giving an account, of the Em
pe or's recent visit to the Jardin
d'Acclimation at Algiers, stated tliat
his majesty was much struck with tl
rapid growth of the Eucalyptus Iiesiti
ifere, or Australian tree," which lias
attained a lieight of 30 feet and a di
ameter of six inches hi two years.
This remarkable tree, in its native soil
Australia sometimes Teaches the
lieight of 10 feet, and ha been found
more tlian l'J feet in diameter t
about a yard from tho ground. It
often yields planks 200 feet long, with
out a single defect. The wood, not
withstanding its rapid growth, is liartl
and heavier thn oak. It also pre
sents beautiful colors, and Is conse
quently well adapted for cabinet work.
sin astringent gum, known in com
merce as kino, is obtained by making
incisions into its bark. The eucalyptus
is au evergreen ; its leaves liave nearly
the same siiape as tlie laurel. The de
velopment of its lateral branches are
no less wonderful tlian its stems.
Tltey are small until tlie trunk attains
tlie height of about 100 feet when they
shoot out almost horizontally, Rome
times to the length of 90 feet, giving
tne tree tne appearance ot an enor
mous umbrella. The seed, strange to
say, is very small, and not unlike that
of tlie tolwceo plaut. Tlie flowers are
white, of a most agreeable smell and
much liked by bees, which extract
from them a most delicious honey. It
is also remarked in Australia, tliat tlie
ague is almost unknown in districts
where this tree is abundant. 1'ttriM
