A lady called on Mrs. Gladstone during the late parliamentary election, and, greeting her, said : "These are troubled times, Mrs. Gladstone, but there is One above who will see through it all."

We referred recently to the female spir itualist who had sikcoeded in convincing a score of reputable residents of Cincin nati that Hlie was Jesus Christ, and who held court in that city. It seems that the relatives of her victims could make no im pression on the boundleHS credulity of these dupes. Meanwhile the Cincinnati Enquirer set men at work and unearthed the history of this woman. They exposed her shameful record, and proved beyohd doubt that she had been KUilty of violat ing the seventh commandment. They showed also that her blasphemous preten sions were purely mercenary, as she as sessed each member of her Hock (3 per week, and was gathering in in this way about $50 per week. The exposure fell npoa the crowd of dupes like a thunder bolt, and has succeeded in convincing most of them that they had pinned their faith to a very common-place adventuress. CARD OF TJIASKS.

A CAUSTIC RKVIEW, Congressman Thomas B. Heed, of Maine, the acknowledged leader of the republican side of that body, recently "dissected" the record of the Forty-ninth congress. While the arraignment is somewhat lengthy, the following parts of it are worthy of the attention of every in telligent reader. It is caustic and con cise : "The house of representatives of the Forty-ninth congress, democratic by forty majority, has had the best opportunity there could be to signalize the usefulness to its country and its party. For the first time in twenty-five years a democratic house has had a democratic administra tion to sustain it and a democratic admin istration to provide for. At an early day in the session the rules, by llio aid of the republicans, were ho liberalized that the majority for the first time for years had full control. During the whole session the majority have not been hampered or troubled or hindered by dilatory tactics on the part of the opposition. 1 hey have hud full chance 'to run and be gbrified.' When the house was organized and the committee of ways and means appointed it could be seen at a glance that the free trade element was alono represented on the democratic side. On this point the houso was organized against its majority. Then commenced that series of manieu vres in favor of various Morrison bills which called a halt to the industries of the country, then just beginning to show signs of revival. This free-trade rocomiois sance in force ended in defeat, hut it last ed long enough to make every manufac ture timid and to discourage the employ ment of laborers and skilled workmen. The luxt Morrison bill remains on the docket a standing menace still. "For the rest, the house has been chief ly romarable for what it has not done. The great territory of Dakota, with half a million of American citizens, has been de nied admission into the Union. A great and growing empire has been smothered in committee. The democratic majority bus thru-it it away privily. They have not dared to face the open day with this measure and tiave never brought it before the house. Washington and Montana have received like treatment, though the cases are not so flagrant as that of Dako ta. "In the territory of Utah the partial success of the first Edmunds bill pointed the way to the complete overthrow of the Mormon hierarchy. Accordingly ttie senate paused another and more effica cious bill. Alter long delay m tbe judic iary committee the bill was reported back with amendments which deserve com mendation, But that measure haB never been called np. It sleeps awav down the committee list. There is no excuse for this. Had it never been required to un dergo the ordeul of a two-thirds vote, not enough democrats would have dared to Voie against it in the open day to defeat it. Iluuce it was never brought up. The Mormons are triumphant and the Gen tiles cast down. During the last two or three weeks there seems to have come over the major ity a realizing sense that something must be done. Hence Mr. Heagan, after an nouncing to bis own committee that the interstate commerce bill, hiB own in vention, must go over because there wss no time to discuss so important a meas ure, suddenly thrust it in the way of the consideration of the pension bills vetoed by the president. v ben be obtained rec ognition, instead of pnssing the Cullom bill, which, having already passed the senate, would "nave become a law, he ad hered obstinately to hiB own measure, and has thus blocked legislation again on this important subject. Wise legislation consists in doing wtiat you can, not in blocking legislation because others do not agree with you. "On the Northern Pacific land forfeit ure, instead of accenting the senate bill, which would have forfeited lands about which there could bo and would be no le gal dispute and which expressly reserved further right of forfeiture, they hve in sisted upon tacking on a forfeiture which would have led to another legal embroil ment to which the Des Moines Kiver troubleB, which has engaged congress so long and the just settlement of which the tresident has vetoed, would nave heen .Lit a molehill to a mountain. Tbe laiss- age of the house bill would be a bonanza to the legal profession. "During the last campaign the demo cratic orators made many a vote with the declaration that there were $".100,000,- 000 locked up in the treasury which would flow all over the country in fructifying streams if the democratic party were to come iuto power. The first thing the ad ministration did was to change the form of the treasury accounts to show that there was only an $8,000,000 surplus, and ttie next tlnng they aid was to increase that surplus to $70,000,000. This was too gross a contradiction of stump oratory to eHcapc comment. Accordingly, Mr. .Mor rison early in the session got his commit tee to present a resolution not to pour out the $:IOO,(IOO,000 which they said the re publicans had hoarded, but the 08, 000, 000 which tbe Cleveland administration had added. Hut even this resolution which fell so short of tbe stump oratory with which the people had been beguiled was ullowed to rest until a week or two ego, and then was brought, up in hopes tbesenute would kill it. Jiut the senate, instead of killing it, amended it judicious ly : trying to preserve for the democratic administration the same power always exercised by trie republican administra tion, and exercised so wisely as never to call for even partisan legislative rebuke. The surplus resolution, when it passed both houses and went to tbe V lute 1 louse. was allowed to go without the president's signature, which wiw eqmvaient to veto. 1 "The country has long since decided that it needs a nayy. The committee on naval affairs presented a bill for six and a hall nullious. JNohody could regard this as extravagant. It even seems trit ing when compared with our needs. Hut even that small amount Mr. Herbert found his lenders unwilling to consent to, and although he was promised the sup port of all the republicans, himself voted for three millions and a half only. lie had to confess on the floor that he was forced by the democratic leaders to cut his hill in two. Ttie only excuse that can be given for thus trilling -with our needs while wo have an overflowing treasury , is louiid in the tact that tor six teen months the secretary ot the navy has failed even to advertise for the ships iilreiiuy uuuiortzed. "the country also needs fortifications. Even Mr. Tilden impliedly reproached his party for the neglect of that. Mr. Randall has offered to appropriate about $tl'IO,000 for fortifications and guns, too. What a sum for such a purpose! It wouldn't fortify one block in Chicago against the anarchists. The senate has raised the amount to f(i,000,0U0, nnd any one who has watched Mr. Randall will see that he intends the fortification bill to fail. And it will fail unless public indig nation manifests itself. It did fail. "Whoever carefully examines even the few instances I have thus enumerated will see one line of policy running all through the whole series. That policy is to pass bills, which by reason of the delay, the lateness of the passage or their unreason able nature will not become law, and then to proclaim what great things would have been done had it.not been for the wicked partners! This course is not sen sible or wise. Any wise set of legislators, especially those who proclaim reverence for tbe constit ution, would have recognized tbe existence of the senate and the presi dent and then tried to do the best they could for the country." WILLAM F.T IK UNI VKKSITY. News Notes Concerning this Institu tion, its Students, Teachers, and Friends. Mr. .1. Bwayne, of Salens vi-y, Cal., has engaged a room in the university, and will come to Salem in two or three weeks. Mr. Hwayne will graduate in the elassical course next year. Prof. W. C. Hawley, who has heen principal of Umpqiia academy for two years, and who graduated in the scientific course in tbe class of '84, has. taken a room in the young men's boarding hall, and will again enter tbe university fn the classical course. Eighteen rooms have been engaged in the young men's ball. The stairways have just been completed and nearly all the roomB are furnished in nice style. The entire building will be ready to re ceive students in a few days. Both room and water closets are being built in the Woman's college, and hot and cold water supplied both up stairs and down. The location of the college on Court street, where the main of the Bewer runs, has rendered it easy to make these improvements. Mrs. A. Mackintosh, of Seattle, W. T., has secured the vacant house east of the Woman's college, and will move to Sa lem in a few days to educate her son and daughter. A nephew of Mrs. Mackin tosh will accompany them, and also at tend the university next year. Mr. and Mrs. Boeschen,of East Port land, w ho are to take charge of the board ing department of the hall for young men, will come to Salem next Tuesday. A surprise was given a few evenings ago in view of their departure for Salem ; and a host of friends gathered at their home, to testify their regrets at their departure. The university has nearly double the orrespondence it has ever had, and if tbe number of students is corresponding ly large there will be a very large attend ance, .hvery position is tilled and every person employed for the year's work ex cept a competent lady to take charge of the cooking at the Woman's college. At present there are no applications for this place. Mrs. C. C. B. Hawlev, dean of the Woman's college, will leave Boston the ltb of tins month, and will arrive in ba- lem about the 1st of September. Mrs. Hawlev was educated in one of the best schools ot JNew England, and seems de lighted with her new home in the west. hhe writes that nothing could De more congenial to her taste and ambition than just such a position to which she has been elected. 1 he woman's college wilt be full of students the coming year, and Mrs. Hawlev will have plenty of oppor tunity to employ her special giftB.
