The great temperance work now going on in this country, is not con lined wholly to the radical organiza tions of the land, but is receiving much help from a recently inaugura ted society of a rather novel character, in New York city. The first public meeting of the Business mens so ciety," was held a few evenings since at Chickering hall, Mr. F. J5. Tlmr ber, well known to Astorians, oceu p3Ting the chnir. There are some new features about this society which ren der it especially remarkable in this reformatory age. In the iirst place, its declared object and purport is for "the encouragement of moderation in the nse of intoxicating liquors." The occasion of the first public meeting of the society had the tendency to bring out a large audience. Among the prominent persons on the platform, were Dr. Crosby, Peter Cooper,, Thur low Weed, Dr. Frothingham, L. W. Bates, Henry W. Baldwin and Walt. Whitman. Several new songs were sung, prepared expressly for the oc casion, and much enthusiasm prevail among those present, a large portion of whom were ladies. The meeting was opened by a short address from the chairman, in which he explained the object of the society. As a part of the new base-line of operations, the society proposes to adjninister three distinctive pledges as follews: 1. A pledge of total aosti nence. 2. A pledge not to drink in toxicating beverages during business hours. 3. Not to partake of intoxica ting beverages al the expense of any other person wluilcwr, iwr to invite an other to partake of the same, during a special time. It is argued, that the second and third of these pledges will act as entering wedges to the first, and, on the whole make it much easier for many habitual drinkers to thus taper off than to adopt and live up to the total abstinence principally from the start. On the source of ccononry alone, this society, it is believed, will rapidly grow in strength and popu larity. It is well known that many families in large cities, would gladly dispense with wine at the table could they do so and consistently maintain their standing in the circle of society in which they, by force of circumstances alone, are compelled to move. A great man' men of limited means, mingle, together with their families, in the best society in large cities, and they find, to their vexation and sor row, that the establishment of a wine cellar, merely for the sake of a mor bid fashion and vain popularity, is a continued and ruinous drain on their finances. The expenses for the wine list alone, in some of the aristocratic households of Now York city, amount to an enormous sum during the your, and from significant hints thrown out, it may be surmised that many hun dreds of the ''first families" in our large cities and country towns, will hail with gladness the advent of the "Business mens society," as an expe dient and practical means of a deliver ance from the wine bibbliug thral dom. It is encouraging to know that this new movement is participated in by men well and favorably known throughout the whole country. The present mayor of New York, son of Peter Cooper, has always been a staunch advocate of the temperance reform, an assurance which will prove doubly inspiring to the friends of the cause, when it is coupled with the fact that his venerable father has now come out as one of the principal workers in the new society. It can not be denied that we are living in the fever-age of a great temperance reformation, and thoae devotftd men and women who have long stood in the front rank of the contest, have good reason to rejoice at the signs of the times. "Baby carriages of the best sfcys, and at loir prices, at Loeb's. The Forger Iane. The youthful forger, R. L. Lane, who was taken to Portland from As- 4-.tiit i-kr niiin? r?riT i. rAi- nu met at the wharf by Mr. Sam Uu'ulter, : one or Jus victims, tie uocumxl to converse with him, but expressed con trition for his conduct, and said he hoped there was sulficieut money enough to indemnify him and Cap tain Ainsworth for their losses. It was his first offense and he was drawn into it from necessity. The prison er is really a fine looking young fellow of 21 years, medium height, smooth face, high, broad fore head, ruddy complexion, bright blue eyes, inn-set mouth and chin, a man of intelligence and education, evident ly used to moving in good society. He insists in claiming Lafayette Lane and General Joe Luiie as his relatives, and also says that ex-O'overnor Lane of Indiana is his iirst cousin, from whom he has a bona fide letter of re commendation. His father's name is W. A. Lane, a large land owner and farmer m northern Missouri, worth $300,000. By advice of counsel he re fuses to be interviewed, and is very reticent about his aifairs, apparently fully alive to the weighty charge against him and his attendant punish ment. He claims the forgery for which he is arrested is his first offense, an acknowledgement which bears the impress of truth, .considering the bungling manner of his attempted es cape. Previous to the commission of the felony, he had .a number of photo graphs tiiken by Ml. Buchtel, and neglected to call fothem, a fact which would have secured his apprehension. He had no thought of forgery until moneyless and unable to secure suit able employment; he saw Captain Ainsworth's signature m the Stine house in Walla Walla, when the idea first suggested itself and was no sooner thought of than executed. He forged that gentleman's name to a pass to Port land on the Oregon Steam Navigation company's boat, and met with such signal success that he concluded to to continue the imposition, without any intention of stopping until taken up with a round turn. It is just as well to convince the arrival from Mis souri that these little things cannot be done in Oregon with impunity. That he is a practiced expert his work proves, and he would continue at the same business, did he succeed in ef fecting his escape, is almost a cer tainty. He is young, strong, healthy and intelligent, and none oto good to earn an honest livelihood, like thousands of others who have chosen Oregon for their homes and earn their bread br the sweat of their brows. His work was of too syste matic a description to plead youth and inexperience as an excuse. Harbor of Heretic. Offico Hoard of Engineers for the Pacific Coast. ) &tt Kearney street, rian Francisco.
