A Washington special says: Sonth m man are be"inmnF to net their . eyes open to the fact that the negro crcnigration scheme on foot threatens serious injury to their section, but do not know how to work to prevent the negroes from moving west and north. There is plenty of evidence here that t'he movement is fostered by republi can politicians, and that by inducing a large number of nesrroes to leave the southern states before the next census the republican managers hope to affect the representation of the tates in the house of representatives in such a way as to overthrow the democratic majority in the house. All leading republican managers are inter esting themselves in this business. Paeilio Coast Dispatches. The war steamer Alaska has re turned from Sitka, She brings abso lutely no news from Alaska. Cant. Brown reports the Indians quiet, asul does not anticipate any trouble. He attributes the incitement to a scre. This judgment i challenged by the residents of Sitka and the collector of the port, who still entertain great alarm. Forcicn Icws.

This appointment is a well de served recognition of the worth and services ox a gentleman whose resi lience in Oregon and Washington has .secured for 'him the universal respect And good will of all with whom he has &een associated. Notes by the "Way Side. San Francisco, April 9tli. L ar rived safely here yesterday after a very fine and pleasant voyage of forty seven hours. Many of the passengers who came on board for pleasure, great ly altered their minds about that im aginary state of the physical frame some people call hunger,I often heardit ighed, "I wish we were in Frisco." Every thing here seems to be on the decline, the Mongolians parade and possess, almost every part of the citT. In walking through some parts of the town I really thought I was in the center of Canton, China. Shipping business is Hat, the only living people 1 see at business .are vegetable men they are mostly Chinese. The only thing we want in our country now to compete with San Francisco is railroad connection with the east, lam off to day for Liverpool, and do not erpeet to ee anything like happiness, un til I return to the Columbia river. With kind regards to all I remain yours truly, Rees Williams. Tay as You Go. AVio York Observer. The best of all rules for successful housekeeping and making both ends f the year meet is, " Pay aeum go." Beyond all countries in the world, ours is the one in which the credit system is most used and abused. Pass-books are the bane and pest of domestic economy, a perpetual plague, vexation and swindle. Abused by servants at the store and the house, disputed constantly by housekeepers and dealers, they re temptations to both narties to do wrong. "1 never had that;" " Wwe neglected to enter this;" ' 1 forgot to 'bring the book;" "Never mind, we'll make a note of it," and so it goes. But the worst of it is that housekeepers are tempted to order what they have not the means tt pay for, and when the month or quarter cemes for settlement they are stniiteiiud. A family can live respect ably on a very moderate income, if .they always take the eash in hand and buy where they can "buy to the best advantage. Then they will be careful first to get what is necessary. Extra comforts will be had as they can afford them. But it is bad .policy to buy on reffit. No wise dealer -sails .so jcheap. Ay on ctedit jls for caslu j The table is the place for economy, j Good wholesome food costs little I more compared with unwholesome 1 luxuries. 1 Tlir flrAcs rf n fnniilv is so much' a ,0 ,,r .,oirt -ii.il it linoil iiiivfllv bi said it is just, as easy to be respectable in clothing that cost little, as in that which is expensive. To dress accord ingly to one's means is the only res pectable stylo. One must have a home, and in every place there are dwellings suited to the ability of the tenant or purchaser. When the rent, the food and the cloth ing are kept within one's income, the margin for benevolence, for luxury and pleasure may be measured and used. In these as in other matters, "pay as you go." Having made no debts to shops or stores, and especially having paid servants, workmen anl workwomen promptly their dues, it is v.ell also to carry out the same punctuality and caution in donations. If you would endow .a professorship, an3 have the means, do so; but do not give your note fn it, promising to pay interest. That is not an endowment; it is your promise to make it such. If your circumstances are changed by the force of events beyond your control, you cannot redeem your promise. We can point fco many colleges, semin, aries and other institutions falsely sup posed to be endowed, and ithe basis proved to be promises worth no more than the scrap of paper on which they are written. Jn all things, "pay as you go." Keep out of debt as you would out of prison. Try this plan through the year, and see Glow well it has worked when you review the subject in the beginning of another year. MISCELLANEOUS. FOR SALE. MRS.
