..Editor.
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.

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."
