A paper mill which is nearing completion at Clarksville, Missouri, will be the only establishment of the kind in that state. Ireland received over 10,000,000 bushels of Indian corn from the United States Jast year, or more than any other country in Europe. The loss to the principal western railroad companies by the recent snow blockades will exceed the net earnings for January and February. Extensive floods are again re ported in the Missouri river. Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ne braska and Dakota also suffer more or less from floods. The nail makers arc hopeful un der the pfospect of a brisk and permanent business, which com mences unusually' early this sea son, and arejadvancing their prices. The south has more than doubled the amount of its cotton manufac turing capital in the ten years just closed. The north did not quite add eighteen per cent to her capital. The south nearly doubled her product of cotton goods. One of the most interesting ob jects offered to public inspection at the Sj'dney International exhibi tion was a dwelling house exclu sively made of paper, and furnished throughout with articles manufac tured from the same material. Republican senators, particular ly those from the west, who have all along opposed an extra session of congress, assert that none will be called, certainlj not sooner than October, and not then unless some thing arises to make it necessary. Ogden Mormon leaders are try ing to establish a church organ there by ccmpelling the saints to sign a contract agi eeing to give a certain portion of their income toward its support. The scheme don't go down as smoothly as cas tor oil. The Oregonian yesterday gives the public levee decision of the Supreme court. The city of Port land is sustained by the affirmation of the opinion that public grounds cannot be appropriated by a rail- vvay corporation without consent of the local authorities. Duncan Mclntyre of the Pacific syndicate, London, reports that the directors of the Canadian Pacific railway company have completed in England arrangements for vigor ous prosecution of that enterprise. The bonds of the company will not be negotiated until the railway is finished. At the depth of 70 feet, 14 feet of sand carbonates were struck in the New York mine, situated about three quarter qf a mile from Pilkus, Colorado. The ore assays 107 ounces of silver per ton. The strike caused great excitement. Miners were out by night with lanterns staking1 off claims. Four Baltimore delegations visit ed the president on Wednesday in regard to the city postmaster ship. The president said that he would appoint a man acceptable to the great business interests of the city, not to suit any faction. Un less such a man was proposed with greater unanimity than was now apparent he might go outside the city, or even appoint a democrat. The friends of Attorney General MacVeagh say that if William E. Chandler is confirmed as solicitor general, the former will decline to assign him any court business, as he has authority to do, and will confine Chandler to office work. It is evident that MacVeajrh has determined to prevent Chandler from becoming solicitor general. MacVeagh is a kicker, but this is not considered reliable. Prof. Hains, of Chicago, is put ting anotherfaster into practice, a man named Griscom, who is him self both a chemist and physi ologist. It is expected that the forthcoming experiment will fur nish what the Tanner and Duel affairs did not, namely, many valu able data as to the chemistry and physiology, general and micro scopic, of protracted starvation. Griscom is rather under the middle age, of tolerably compact phj'sique, and the wildest of enthusiasts. wmKmmammmmm Artesian Wells. Oregoman, 21st The company who took the con tract for sinking an artesian well on the Ainsworth block, have met with much difficulty thus far. After sinking the well about twelve or fifteen feet a large boulder was struck which could not be penetrated. This impedi ment caused a temporary suspen sion of operations. A well was then du a few feet distant and a small tunnel run down toward the bottom of the artesian vrell. This was done for the purpose of re moving the boulder. But as soon as the well reached the gravel bed the water began to pour in with such rapidity that the men were forced to suspend operations. This water comes from seepage from the river, and to attempt to pump out the well would be folly. So the project has been abandoned of attempting to sink an artesian well at that place. The company will commence next to sink a well at the new residence of Geo. "W. "Weidler, on Nineteenth and H streets. In speaking of artesian wells, the Telegram of last even ing savs: 'In the year 1855 Mr. Arriffoni contracted with San Francisco parties to sink a well of this kind on the corner of Eighth and Taylor strees. The apparatus, tools, etc., arrived and the work inaugurated. After sinking to the depth of one hundred and fifty feet large boulders were struck, which resisted all efforts to remove them and broke every drill, auger and tool that the com pany had or could get made. After continued efforts in vain the work was abandoned, and the parties returned to San Francisco. A few years after that a purse of $1700 was subscribed, to bo increased to 2700, to any person who would sink an artesian well and obtain overflowing water anywhere with in a radius of five miles from the city. Companies in San Francisco were communicated with on the subject, but all refused to make the attempt." itoitx. In Portland. April 18th, 1881, to tlic wife of John K. Wirt twins a son and a daughter.
