Quoting from The Astoria x of the 9th, upon tlie subject of the proposed harbor of refuge, the Con allis Gazette says: This being taken for granted, as the war maps .and experience of com petent pilots fully warrant, the ques tion of location narrows down between two points, to-wit: Cape Fouhveather and the mouth of the Columbia. Be tween these, let facts decide. Some of the most serious difficulties in the way of the commerce of this state, occurs between Astoria and. Portland. A harbor of refuge at the mouth of the Columbia, would not obviate these difficulties. On the other hand a hav bor uf refuge at Cape Fuul weather and railroad connection with Portland, would. This is s simple, and yet, we believe, a truthful proposition, and one that Portland should not be slow in considering. Bro. Carter, wc abide 3?our decision, let the facts decide this important matter. A Devoted Brother- In Algeria two brothers have been condemned, one to death and the other to transportation for life; a third brother, married, and father of two children, has sold his farm, and de clares he will follow his convict brother to Cayenne and reside with him. His wife can remarry if she please?. Th;s recalls Alexander the Great and the Syrian princess, who, when per mitted to select one male member of her family from execution, chose her brother rather than her husband. A Plasuerist PJaguetl. Sir Charles Legard, member of par liament for Scarborough and an inti mate friend of the Prince of Wales, recently surprised tne House ny a s capital speech arjaiust Mr. Trevyan's country franchise motion. His sap porters were delighted, hut soon learn ed from the Scarborough Mercury that the ideas and words of the bril liant oration were stolen from some of Canning's speeches. Extracts from them were placed side by side with the report of Legard's speech, much to his discomfiture and to the delight of the liberals. The San Francisco Herald saj's all the coin in California is gradually creeping into old stockings, etc. There is nothing m the world so timid as money. It takes alarm at every com motion. Hoarding is now the order of the day. Soon the men who are producing this commotion, will be around begging for money and cold victuals from the very men whom they have tried to intimidate. Cali fornia has already invested over a hun dred million dollars in United States four per cent, bonds. Capital is thus rushing out of the state with great rapidity. The Australian Shipping News Says: ''We have heard of hams and pork being used on the American river boats to bring the steam to its great est pressure in the excitement of a close race, but we think that the late adventurous journey cf the hopper Goohva, which has just completed her voyage of 22G days from Glasgow to Adelaide, was the first occasion on which sharks were used to keep up the fires in the furnaces. While coast ing along at western Australia they found the sea to abound with these creatures, and being at the verr end of resources in the way of fuel, they caught them wholosnle ;md pitched them bodily into the fire." The Bee says: "We need not concern ourselves whether the North ern Pacific intends to come direct to Portland, for it cannot avoid connec- tion with Oregon railroads, even if it aoes not. uenerai opraguo uinuus that that company is prepared to place the 200 miles from the commencing point, at the mouth of Snake river to Pen d'Oreille lake, under contract, as the iron for the same can be had by payment of the company's bonds, at par. We may hope to see this much linished next summer. A road from th.3 east to the navigable waters of the Columbia cannot but build up Oregon and Portland, and we must welcome its construction as an important aid to our prosperity." 1 t 1 O 1 "Welcome to Mitchell- Junction Republican, irey Jith. Ex-Senator Mitchell arrived 1 i.o.. i i iiume nibi oauiruay evening ana was warmly welcomed at the hands of . ... -.-.,, . i tne citizens ol rortlanci. Aow thathis public service is ended ami he takes ls place m the ranks of pi i lite citizenship, it is proper that he receive from the people a just acknowledgment of the important service rendered to the state of Oregon, while laboring in the ca pacity of United States senator. That the senator has done a great work for Oregon, no one will ques i' i. ii i '.I i i tionat all acquainted with hs sena- : 'I I lorial career and the active part he has played in the important legis lation of the p;st six years. lie lias in fact, represented the inter ests of the whole state and our neigl' boring territories have often felt the weight of his influence in their behalf which they have time and aimin grateful lv acknowledged through the medium of their pub lic journals. A representative man, endowed with great ability, and indefatigable purnose. Mitchell went to the senate of the United States as Oregon's representative and eschewed those subversive principles that mark the partisan politician, he has labored assidu ously lor the improvement and de velopment of a young and vigo rous commonwealth. Let his welcome home be commensurate with the important service render ed, which gives to a public servant the award of justice without the semblance of praise or flatten. While he has labored so zealously for the interests of the state, and in co-operation with his colleagues, won from a frugal congress gener ous subsidies for the state's inter nal development, we find the im prnt of his footsteps and the ability of hisstatesma'iship taking a wider range and leaving its impression on the eilort ot national legislation, j ., ,. , .-.,,. , I Jiere in me miniest intellectual field cf the nation, by the side of men schooled in the intricacies of legislation and he wisdom of ex perience, Mitchell stands, counsel ed, respected and honored, lint enough, our Congressional Record tells the tale of his service, and Oregon reaps the harvest of his effort, and the people are proud to welcome him home after his long, laborious work in office with words of commendation and cheer, which will strike upon his heart in trae appreciative measure. "Why Flowers Turn to the Snn. llarjwra MatiaztTtc for May. "WiesncT has presented to the Vienna Academy a monograph upon heliotropifqn and geotropism in plants. After a historical sketch, the author treats of the influence of light on lieliotropism, and shows that with decreasing intensity of l'ght the strength of the heliotropic effect increases to a certain point and beyond this point decreases. 1 he lower limit ol light intensity coincide? with the lower limit of heliotropic effect, for the stoppage of growth in length, while the up per limit does not coincide, or only occasionally coincides, with the upper limit of heliotropic effect for growth in length. In the case of a very sensitive heliotropic plant the upper limit of light intensity lor stoppage of growth in length lies higher, and in less sensitive plants lower than the upper limit for growth in length, lie con siders the relation between the re frangibility of rays and their helio tropic effect, and shows that por tions of very sensitive heliotropic plants, as vicia sativa, curve in all lights, even in the ultra-red and ultra-violet, except the yellow. Experiments on the joint action of helioropism and geotropism are next described, and the author con concluded that the phenomenon of j lieliotropism is due to unequaled growth upon unequally-lighted sides of the plant.
