Roseuukg, May Uth 1879. Tuesday was one of those drizzly fret days "which has a tendency to keep everybody in-doors, and as a consequence our visit m Portland was cut short off. and on Wednesday morn ing we took tlie train for Albany, which place we reached about noon. Here we found there had been a few harloyon days, sunshine and warmth, and genial growth through the valley, Knd then protracted rains again. After registering at the St. Charles we Bought Mayor Thomas Monteith, and visited points of interest about the city, dven Geo. Simpson whom we chanced to meet, interested "s muchly. The sun was shining beautifully when we spoke to George, but before our hand shaking was over it was raining again, and as to a reply to our saluta tion of "beautiful day," the rains de scended, and he said:- "That is good Ireland, that's a confession that you must have awful weather at Astoria if you call this a beautiful day!" We subsided of course, but we "owe him one." Albany is improved very much Bince otir last visit, and the Odd Feilows with whom we met on Wed nesday evening have added vastly to the appearance of the business portions of the city by erecting a magnificent brick three stories in height, which is to be dedicated during the coming ses sion of the Grand Lodge this month. On Sundav the 18th the holy bond r,f wrimnnv will be nerfornied in the Kill nmnrrlimrt,! tliP. Rnorarl reinmiv! or the Jewish church, and Hebrews and Christians will jneet together to fitness it. The officiating officer will be the Jewish Rabbi of Portland, Mr. May, and the bride a lovely daughter of Past Grand Johnson, of Albany. Members of the fraternity may dis cover in this some resttlt of the lect tires of our Past Grand officer. It is certainly an incident in Odd Fellow ship without a precedent in the history of the order, and stimulates the hopes -tf hich animates the breast of every true Odd Fellow, that the blessed order may yet fraternize the -World. There are many things, rail toad and otherwise, jotted down in memoranda for future comment con cerning Albany our faithful Sister city in the valley. At 2 o'clock on Thursday we were seated in the smoking car of ex-Mayor Stroud's train, botind farther south. The fields as we whirled past and through them on either side presented a somewhat yellowish and jaundice appearance in consequence of the pro longed cold storms. It is very evident that the country does not need the present manifestations of Jupiter Pluvins, as all nature and human kind look with disgust at "the weath er." There are actually acres and acres of wheat that have been actually "drowned out," and hundreds of far mers who have not yet finished seed ing. "Verily this is an unusual spring what vill the summer be? Last year, on the 30th of March, the read ers of The Aptorian will remember, we were exhibiting to their admiring gaze wheat twelve inches, and barley fourteen inches in height at The Dalles: how it is in Wasco this year we are unable to say. In spite of all, the people assure us that there will be an abundant crop, and a good one. "We fully realize that the growing crops of California can only be saved by abundant moisture, and if these wheat fields can swim to perfection, then verily Oregon is the best spot on earth. We should like very much to see some of these fields two months hence. The Oregon and California railroad is in perfect condition, and ready for business, long hoped for. We never pass over this route from the summit beyond the Calapooia,down Pass Creek t-anyon, and up the Yoncolla but wo are reminded of the almost superhn- matt exertions required to bnild it, ) their present population is about one and the discouraging hopes for its ' half of that of New York state, and further extension; then putting this not much more than double that New and that together wonder when if ever, ' York city. the day will come w2un the devotees of "the-m-asses on the sand lots;" shall quit their incendiary sermons, and give credit to whomsoever credit be due. But there can be very little hope founded for such changes in pub lic sentiment so long as "the-m-asses" irresponsible as they may be, exercise the unrestricted function of qualified voters. The telegraph to-day informs us of the adoption of the new state constitution in California. A fellow passenger, a very intelligent citizen of San Francisco tells us that if this be the fact, Oregon will profit from California disaster. The new constitution will prohibit people from making numerous private con tracts; it imposes a double tax (in some instances treble), on the property of corporations and tlUs stocks which such propert represents; the supreme courts system inaugurated by it is said to be dangerous; it prohibits aid to the orphans, the widows and the dis tressed through charitable and agricul tural institutions; is communistic and revolutionary; and while it will not benefit the poor wfrTwork injustice to the wealthy. Some attempt to equal ize taxation might be desireable in our own beautiful, lovely, Oregon, but God forbid that such an utter failure as far as attaining the object desired i3 concerned should be re-enacted in this state. The railroad commission provided for in the California consti tution is a bad feature, a dangerous and not easily remedied experiment. As to the cause of this disaster to California: They will be found to exist in the very principles- suggested by The Astorian so frequently; the afatsc of the elective franchise. Let the polls be faithfully guardedr and lee every man be disfranchised forever who may be tainted1 with even the sus- Picion of interfering with the fullest exercisc of freedom of the ballot, rich or poor, white or black, apply the rule to all alike. RosebHTg, like Portland and Albany, has greatly improved since our last visit. Marks & Co., (Asher) have put up a magnificent new store, brick. The Metropolitan is our stopping place, as of yore, 0. C. Perkins and E. C. Headrick proprietors. Is is one of the best kept, and is the mos$ pop ular house in the city. In fact ?t was so overrun with patronage that we were provided with sleeping accom modations at the house of a private citizen, Mr. D. C. Maclellan, and we retired to rest at an early hour, sleep ing soundly and undisturbed until 8 o'clock this morning, when we arose, and drawing the curtains took a look out upon the smiling face of nature, which Was so calm, so serene, so joyous as to inspire us with the thoughts of "Corrina's Going A-Maying," by Robert Herreck, of the-penod between 1591 and 1G74, lately reproduced in Chamber's Cyclopedia; Get up. get up! fornharae! the bloominc morn Upon her uinj's presents the Rod unshorn. See how Aurora throws her fair Fresh-quilted colors through the air; Get up. sweet slugabed, and see The dew bespangling herb and tree. ' Each tlower has wept, and bowed toward the cast.

Wash, dress, be brief in praying. One could scarcely believe that the days previous to this had been so melancoly. Our movements from this rest upon circumstances, but of things rest assured dear readers, yon will hear from us soon again from some point in the valley. d. c. i. The high credit of the English government, both at home and abroad, seems to have imbued the English people with a blind confidence in the bonds of other nations. It is stated that many English families invested all their means in Turkish and Egyp tian bonds, and are reduced to dis tress by the failure of these govern ments to pay interest. The three English colonies of Australia, Tas mania, and New Zealand, owe a debt of 355,000,000, nearly all of which is held in England.
