IIlEIiAXD Editor. TUESDAY Oct.IG, 1877 NOTES AND COMMENTS. J An intoxicated passenger on a "Virginia railroad showed his total ab stinence pledge when asked for a ticket. The conductor punched the pledge, and wrote on it "one drunk." A seven-year-old boy is missing in Philadelphia. A playmate says: "We went into an empty house, and played there a good long time, and when we came out some big bo.ys came by and pulled the door shut, and Willie was inside;" but he has no idea where the house is. The police are .to search every unoccupied house in the city. Thomas Jefterson's house is in a ruined condition, and a long lawsuit prevents any improvement. The farm is worn out, and the house described as "that marvellous conception of Jef ferson's put into brick, mortar, and wood, with funny little rooms, novel shaped large rooms, halls that go no where, and rotundas without purpose" is unoccupied. VIr. Hutchinson, a leading opera tor on the Chicago board of trade, wished to secure a certain estate for his son-in-law, and bid $-19,000. Then lie discovered that there was a sealed bid in the competition, and induced the assignees to wait till he could put in a new bid at a higher figure, tie subsequently learned that in his sec ond lie had raised on his son-in-law's ! offer just 12,000. The San Francisco Post h:is taken pains to collate press dispatches j Jrom the east ior tne penoa oi two "months past, and it does not hesitate to declare that, taken together, they present a false aspect to the current news. There is evidently method in them, and the person under whose direction they are made up either un dertakes to run the news on the basis i his own opinions, or he is carefully following a policy that is laid down for him. Dom Pedro and the Empress dis play great interest, during their travels in Europe, in benevolent institutions of all kinds, everywhere visiting asy lums for the blind and the deaf and dumb, orphan homes, and hospitals. The deaf and dumb institutions in Rotterdam, Holland, was particularly admired by them. Queen Sophia had called their attention to it as an object of her pride and attachment, and made them promise to visit it. The asylum is partly supported by the state, but has also been made the object of large bequests. A resident of Orange county, Ya. , belonged to a Florida regiment during the war. He was wounded in one of the numerous battles fought in that part of Virginia. The surgeon told him he could never recover the use of his leg. "Then," said he, "I shall never leave this battlefield. " And he has kept his word. A traveler lately saw his crutch standing at his cabin door as the cars went by. His tobacco Jot was pointed out, and the informa tion given that he has a little factory where he makes chewing and smoking tobacco. 6 Vermont has a law, like in New York state, making rum-sellers liable for damages arising from drunkenness caused by their liquor, and under it a verdict of 82,000 has just been secured y a Reedsboro woman. Her com plaint was for the permanent injuries received by being thrown from a wag on in consequence of her husband, who was driving, being drunk on liquor bought of the defendants. This was the second tiiai of the case m the same court, the first having resulted in a verdict of $1,S20 for the plaintiff. It was carried before the Supreme court Judges, and by them sent back to the county court en some technical error. The defendants denied responsibility, on the ground that the man had only procured one drink of them, at which time he was sober. . Joseph Smith, son of the origina tor of Mormonism, is President of the monogamie sect of Latter Day Saints in Piano, Illinois. He claims to be the recipient of direct revelations from God, and the divinely chosen successor of his father. He says of Brigham Yeung: "He has been permitted to amass vast wealth, sustaining himself in an almost regal splendor. Out of the monetary affairs of the church full one-half cf all the distrust and want of confidence has grown; and it has been ano; Scrofula, Masai Catarrh, etc. Pa the abuse of monetary trust from first tienee from almost ever county in the ,,,,,,, , ,, , xi .i IMiited States have applied to it for re to last that has been the bane that has . ij(.f. either at the home Institute at In poisoned the springs of unity and iian:ipolis.Iiiiliaim.ortooiie of its grand 1 t , , . , , divisions at Philadelphia.

The Docior makes fringement of the law recognized as no charge for consultation and exainkia- having been given of God was persis ted in. It will now be seen whether the trust so reposed, where the inter ests were so important and so irres ponsibly placed have been betrayed. " The Spiritualist newspapers ex press delight because the Czar of Rus sia consults with mediums. The Rev. Thomas Colley, a clergyman of the Established Church of England, is coming to America for the purpose of investigating Spiritualism. Perform ers are giving exhibitions in Utica, showing how materializations imry be produced, and business with "William Eddy, of the Eddy Brothers, who is living in that city, is dull. The Ga zette, of Onawa, Iowa, tells of a house in that place wherein lires have been set by "invisibles." If put out in one part it breaks out in another. This has been going on at intervals for sev eral months, and twice the family has moved out. A Spiritualist doctor in Philadelphia describes a death-bed scene, in which those assembled while singing a hymn, had their spiritual eyes opened and saw the "dead broth er" issuing out of his mortal tenement, joining his wife and child and floating away. King Kalakaua said to a corres pondent of the San Francisco Chroni- cjc. Tho ljlbol. j of ihs kjllg. dom is of serious import. Owing to the decrease of the native population, employers have been compelled to re sort to such labor markets as were open to them. If it were possible to procure Polynesian laborers, they would be welcomed by the Hawaiian people, because they are of the same blood and race as ourselves. My gov ernment has been ceaselessly active in trying to procure a congenial emigra tion to the kingdom, .and if the suc cess has not been equal to the wishes, the efforts were laudable and noble. I wish my race to live and perpetuate themselves. I wish to see the old na tive legend about the children playing along the highway practically realized. I wish to see realized the old legend about the old men and the old women rejoicing over the pride of the young manhood and the young womanhood of the nation. If fate means to blot out of existence the Hawaiian race, I shall war against fate to the last hour. No, we must not perish." Dr. J. C. Ayer remains in an asy lum in Athol, Mass., an incurable maniac. A correspondent of the Rochester Democrat says he is at times very violent, and others quiet to a de gree that indicates softening of the brain. The same writer gives the fol lowing as facts: Ayer came to Lowell a poor adventurer, and obtained em ployment in a factory, where his ser vices as a chemist gave him good wages. He was economical and saved money. Then he became acquainted j witn a druggist who sold a cough med icine which was very popular. Ayer obtained the recipe and advertised the medicine freely. His agents spread , i ... . - . i rapidly through the country, and Aver ' , ., . .. built up an immense trame. Me kept j his profits secret, but his frequent in vestments indicated rapidly growing wealth. He became one of the largest cotton mill proprietors in Lowell, and the largest owner of bank stock. In vestments were also made in other places, in order to avoid notice and prevent that rush for charity which so often follows the increase of wealth. This absorbed the entire energies of the proprietor until he was ordered by his physician to go to Europe. He escaped from domestic trouble by be coming absorbed in business- to such an extent as to destroy the balance of his mind. There is a good market in Oregon for j agricultural products, owing to short tran.-porlatioi to the Pacific Ocean, and direct exportation to all parts of the world. Railroad facilities. Navigable rivers, including the great Columbia. . . ...... :i :: . AX OPPORTUNITY FOR THE AF FLICTED. Dr. J. 3L Tlinkle, of the National Sur gical institute, with a competent corps of assistants will visite Portland. Oregon Rooms at St. Charles Hotel. October (!, I to Novemncr 1st. 1877, inclusive. !No other institution in the world lias suc- eoss fully treated so many cases of Spi I nnl Curvature, Disease "of the .Joints, i tion. and his terms for teatment are within the reach of even one. m EST'Stearns' ideas are decidedly correct. In his Gazetteer he says: "The AVallamet valley is that part of the country which lias given the 'wet' currency circulating through the states concerning Oregon. The gentle showers of winter there are far more preferable to the freezing winds and chilling snows of the west ern states, while the temperate sum mer, warm enough for vegetation cool enough for comfort, make it the paradise of the world. It is an old country, sparsely settled, to be sure, but the land is all owned by families who have held it for twenty-five years, or their successors. Every necessity and comfort of civilization is enjoyed by the people with the ad vantage of certain crops and large yields, longer seasons for cultivation and an equal price for produce. "Merchants wishing the popular "credit check" can purcluu-o Lhcm ntTiiK Astoria x office, at less than Chicago price.-. The checks are rapidly growing in favor. No business man who hnj. ever tried the system will ever abandon it. It save book keeping, saves los, to both customer and merchant, obviates any de puted claim-, and in mu'3 ways makes it a most des-irnbic mode of transacting a credit business. Try it.
