Four-per-cents go oft' like hot cakes, and English Consols are quoted at 99i, vhich is lh above what they have been any time since 1858. A review of these bonds by the London Economist ftr a period of 8S years shows thsa the highest quotation was m 1S52, when t'fiey reached 101 G-10, and the lowest was in 1803, when they fell to GO 2-10. Jre present quotation does not neces sarily prove a prosperous condition of British finances. The very reverse is probably true. We all know that there is a great want of confidence in financial and business circles in Eng auJ. Capital has been "withdrawn from many pursuits, and rather than have it lie idle any longer, waiting for something to turn- up-, the owners .are putting it in English Consols, which pay only 3 per cent, interest. It would seem that there was a tine chance to Bell some Oregon bonds in England to-day. We believe that money could be obtained ncrvv to build the railroad from Astoria to the Wallair-et valley at all evnts. Let us try it, and see. "Hard times come again no more."

NEW BPRim u ' 3 (& n na $j UMM& &?&' rn.tr T&- w ggii yjiraasiaieaAy Oregon figures conspic- jNegro Ia"borerS' Colonel Rosser, the en:heer of the Northern Pacific railroad, has stated publicly that he wants negro labor on that road and has offered very con siderable allurements to get it. Jay Gould, it is said wants 1000 negro laborers on the Union Pacific, Hunt ington wants 1000 more on the Cen tral and Southern Pacific, and more still are wanted by the Kansas Pacific. The scheme of the Little Hock and Fort Smith railroad worked so well that other railroads are anxious to try it. It iff primarily a railroad demand for cheap labor and a railroad specu lation tin neirro homesteads. The view .of the migratory movement is sustained by Colonel Keller, ettitor of the Memphis Avalanche, a thorough southerner and one of the most intelligent observers of southern affairs. The Tennessee migration of three years ago naturally camo under his own personal observation, and he made it a study. Of the present mi gration and its cause he says: "The new migration now going on in Kansas is brought about by the same agenc3T. It is a move made by the railroad companies who have Toads to con struct and lands to dispose of. They want cheap labor and they have cheap lands to sell. They have their agent m the south and the inducements offered are such that the colored people who liko change, eagerly take advantage of the induce ments offered l3r the railroad com panies." Of the willingness of the nesrroes to migrate. Colonel Keller says that "first, the natnarally love change; second, they are easily in fluenced by the railroad agents, and place implicit credence in their glow ing statements: and third, the hard times have borne as heavily upon the laboring element in the south as it has upon the laboring element in the north." Of the condition of the ne groes in the south he says: "I think there is a disposition to exact too much from the colored people; that is, they are charged too much for rent, and are not offered a chance to ac quire homesteads as cheaply as they can elsewhere." He does not think that the move has any political sig nificance, or is a part of a deliberate plan to decrease population of the south, and so lessen its representa tion after the next census. The politi cal Biguificance which has attached to the movement was an afterthought. New Publications-.

C. P. Patterson, superintendent of the United States Coast and Geodetic survey, containing observations as to the result of the assignment of Prof. Geo. Davidson, as chief astrono mer of the party sent by our govern ment to observe the transit of Venus, in December 1874, at a station in Ja; pan. Wrthr the sanction of the secre tary of the treasury and by his own consent, Prof. Davidson, in returning home, passed along the coasts of Asia and Europe, and examined incidental ly the chief public works on the route, such more particularly as had been devised for promoting the interests of agriculture, or to farther the purposes of commerce and navigation. His ob servations on some of the great struc tures for land reclamation and for ir rigation were printed by order of the United States senate. The notes on harbor and river improvement which followed were recorded during the same period, in conformity with in structions from the Coast Survey office, addressed to Professor David son, and these items will be found of practical interest to us at this time. Net we tine two volumes upon the subject of the United States Life Sav ing service, from Capt. J. W. White, of the U. S. R. M. The first is a re port on life saving ordnance and appurtenances, by Lieut. D. A. Lyle. The second is the anual report of operations of the sevice for the year ended June 30th, last. Tho contents of these works are particularly valu able as matter for future reference, and will enable a person to, thoroughly understand the workings of the system. Among the miscellaneous works we find from T. B. Peterson & Bro.
