0) tt z. zmk I . vU J .t3Wt'AM$u 1 r AJ5T0RIA. OREGON: "WEDNESDAY. OCT. 19, 1881 , J. F. HALLOKAV Editor. iTorlne. A si'atkmkxt is goinis the "" " rounds of the press that a French man has invented a process by which the old fashioned method of embalming can be made to "go glimmering through the dreams ": of things that were," by the ornate method of indurating the body aftet death till it assumes a form . and consistency that will enable it to bear all the ravages of time equally as well as granite or mar ble. That bv the use of certain chemical': the human form di vine can be so transformed in sub stance that it may withstand the furv of the elements and itself .. ' serve all the purposes of a statue. This, if so, opens up a new and ' presumably successful line of in dustry. The carkinsr care that t fills so many hearts in this Wing ' , , .land of ours, the feverish feeling " "that impels so many to erect stat ues to the memory of those whom they villified in life, can now find vent in flie application of this " principle. In the conversion of the bodies oi our illustrious de ceased into this substance to which the inventor hasgiven the smooth and glossy term "ivorine" due latitude may also, be given to the wise principles of economy. Tt is a matter of regret that the process was not invented years ago. Had the ancients but known of this, "Imperial Ciesar, dead and turnpd to clay,' instead of "stop ping up holes to keep the wind away," might have been set up in stony grandeur on the Forum as illustrious of the mutability of all human greatness and the transi tory character of all human gran deur. So, too, in our own day, instead of laying away. the forms of the departed, with sighs and v tears, the friend might be utilized in holding up the spout in the back yard or in posing gracefully 'A beside the etarge in the parlor. But. 'tis hardly probable that the .invention will meet with general favor. Like cremation, and other repugnant means of disposing of ,. .poor mortality, it can only be looked upon as a curiosity. Its practical realization would fill the world ftril of gloomy ghosts; fairer shrines and far more fitting memo- Sries are found in the remembrance of loving heaits for those from whom we have parted on life's pathway. Chll Service Reform. Bf Let the appointing power be taken out of the hands of the t im President and placed in the hands , ot the people. It sprang from the people and they did an unwise thing when they delegated it to -others. "We would have the peo ple elect men to fill most of the , -various offices now filled by ap pointees of the Presidenr. Helm entirety too much power in his Hands; and the sooner some of it is "again exercised by the people it he better. For example: Let postmasters, instead of being ap pointed by the President, be elect ed by the people. Were this the ,l le we would soon see a great change for the better in the Civil v , Service. . The 4B"dcer county Reveille claims that in this way Civil Service reform ma' be effected. But experience and actual trial has demonstrated that that would oe doui inetiective and imnracti- cal. Besides it would be. uncon stitutional. Power must alwavs le attended by responsibility. To fjadopt the plan suggested by our cuuieiuporary wouia inaugurate confusion and result in disaster. iJTfiis"?government is one checks and balances. As long as the "fcPresident has the appointing and iJt removing power he has control over the actions of his subordinates S--W. that would pass from his hands when the power was relegated to t- the people. The suggestion has been mads and argued adversely since the establishment of the gov- 'Mrament. Tt.is an old and mani festly impracticable idea. The Cabinet. A CnicAGO Times dispatch says: From authority near the president it appears that the question of re taining James and MacVeagh is decided adversely. Both the gentlemen- were offered their places temporarily, but they thought best to decline any conditional appoint ment. MacVeagh declined at the outset, but James' hesitation is all that determined the postponement of the president's plan for making a new cabinet. Now that the president has had it made clear to him that James and MacVeagh will not remain conditionally, his cabinet plans will become cleared. For secretary of state he has al ready selected ex-Senator Freling huysen; for the treasury he has selected Judge Folger, of New York, subject to WindonVs retire ment; for attorney-general he has been divided between two men, with the probability of the third being selected, the two being ex Secretary Boutwell of Massachu setts, and B. H. Brewster of Phil adelphia. These two gentlemen are so equally balanced in the president's favor that the attorney- generalship may go to a third man Phillips of North Carolina, the present solicitor general. The secretary of war is certain to be Robert T. Lincoln. The secretary of the navy will probably be Gen. Ned S.Beale, Grant's old minister to Vienna. Gen. Beale is a re publican of this district, and always entertains Gen. Grant, when the latter is in the city. The postmaster-generalship has been partially promised to ex-Senator Howe of Wisconsin. The interior lies between ex-Senator A. A. Sargeant, of California, and a prominent western ex - senator, whose cabinet aspirations have thus far been kept a secret. Yesterday's Oregonian has a very sensible article in reference to the present condition of Port land. Jt says: " This city has in few things shown the enterprise which her position has demanded. Only to natural advantages is her growth due. To speak plainly, people here have done business because it could not get away from them. The lime is now at hand when the citizens of Portland must show whether they possess that knowledge of which a great character of antiquity possessed the secret, namely, how io make a small town of a great city. Xow conditions are arising which must be met. Old things are passing away." All of which is manifestly true. The present condition of the Columbia between here and our inland neighbor tends to injure the material interests of the whole Columbia baisin. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer asks: ''Cannot something be done to check this growing, pernicious and dangerous habit of shooting men for sport?1' Yes. Prompt trial, and a certainty of punish ment if found guilty will do a great deal toward deterring the average bully from violating a statute for which experience has taught him to have no respect. The discovery of a new comet enables a good many scary people whose stock of worries was run ning low to remain in active busi ness. The adverse planetary in fluence that set so many shivering, must now give way to a fresh lot of direful predictions and pessi mistic prognostications. Quite a dramatic iucident took place in New York Monday night at a meeting to sympathize with the imprisoned Irish agitators, when Parnell's mother appeared on the stage and declared that she would return to England and keep her son company in con finement for the sake of their mother country. Under the heading "How to live long," a medical exchange gives sundry rules as to the pres ervation of health and the prolong ing of existence; such as "never get excited, always subdue emo- Jtion, neither love nor hate, keep all impulse under control." In other words vegetate. Some clever fellow answers the question. "Is life worth living? by saying that it depends altogether upon the liver. Xo doubt by following the sober and discreet rules laid down exihtunce might be prolonged a few year., but. it would not be living in the true ctise of the word. Simply moving around like a snail on the earth and living a cold blooded limpet-like life would be to the vast majority of mankind unendurable. Tiic number of acres of public land entered in this stale during the past year is 240,Glf. A sat isfactory feature is that this land was taken up by actual settlers who, in building up homes for themselves build up the permanent prosperity of the country. Sevekai. exchanges have given brief biographies of Fletcher Har per of the celebrated New York publishing house, supposing that he was dead. It was his .son, Fletcher Harper, Jr., a young man of 3:, who died on the -Jth insl. The Coos Bay News says "the Republican party is on trial." So it is: it's been "on trial" for twenty-five years, with judgment usuallv recorded in its favor. DIED. At St. Mary's Hospital, 011 Oct. 17th, W111. Boyd, aged 50 years.
