Statistics show that the opium habit in this country is fast becom ing a national vice. In 1871, 37, S24 lbs of opium were imported, valued at 353,334; in 1SS0, 77, 19G lbs were imported, valued at j73,?9G. The indulgence of the habit among the sexes is vastly disproportional, ten men smoking it to the one woman who becomes the slave of the body and soul destroying drug. Some smokers have been known to consume three ounces in a single day, and the chronic 'fiends' will, it is al leged, dispose of a pound and a quarter in the same space of time. Smokers prefer the opium dens to their own rooms, partly because the pipes in the dens are so thor oughly impregnated with opium by their constant use that they seem to have a more decided effect than less frequently used pipes; and partly for the sake of the com panions sure to be found there. Opium smoking does not always produce stupefaction; nor even indeed sleep. Moderate indulgence is said to produce a feeling of per fect contentment and happiness, and of complacency with the world and all it surroundings. Life seems replete with the brightest prospects, and the most cherished hopes seem on the point of being realized. But after a time the pleasurable sensation disappears and the unfortunate viotiin only smokes to stifle the the terrible sufferings that abandonment of the practice entails. Good. The Oregon Vidette strikes from the shoulder and isn't a bit afraid to comf right out with the truth. Talking about a prevalent corrup tion it says: "Public servants are public property, and cannot object to their conduct being most closely scrutinized. If you have a.ludge, a Clerk of Court, a County Judge or Legislator who travels on a pass, uskhim why he is thus favored and the balance of the people re quired to pay fare? Fie can give but one honest answer, that is: 'I am expected some way in my orflioial position to be of service to the company equal in value, at least, to the amount of fare my pass represents."1 Servants of the Jpeqple can serve no other master and faithfully discharge their trust. An eminent jurist of Portland was asked why he did not go to the capital on some occasions mentioned, the inquirer remarking, 'yon have a free pass and it will eos you nothing.' The jurist answered: 'While -1 was on the bench l was furnished a pass with out asking for it, and when I went out of ofliee my pass was lateen up without even consulting me on the subject." Thus with feuch favoix, corporations largely influ ence the conduct ol public servants to the great injury of the people. The peoph should vote traveling expenses to their servants and then punish severely every one who could be tampered with to the extent of accepting a pass." Tin: Oregon Vidette accounts for the truckling to Villard that the second number of the Polaris shows, by saying that "it is said to have cost a single juss for the. chief editor of the concern.'" So, se: "All men "have their price;'' thf editor of the Polaris is one of "the - cheap made men of the period," if n free pass would buy him and his paper. We hardly believe that a divine would do sucu;a4lhing; a man who believes that "ignorance is a crime against God."" Can it be so? M-Sr I It is thought that an overhaul ing of -the pension accounts would develop just as much fraud as the j iStaivItoute'-' investigation )ias elic ited. The enormous sum of 70, 000,000 will be required for next year's pension list; -men, who, by reason of their position sVould know, claim tbat at least 20,000r 000 of that amount, if paid, will bo paid to bogus claimants. Thk assertion is made by those who claim to have tried it that grape cuttings can be grafted in the cactus in the hot and arid regions of Southern California and Arizona; the grapes thus produced are said to be large and well flavored. It seems that the French en gineers have given up the plan of flooding Sahara desert by the wa ters of the Mediterranean sea. The desert being some nine hun dred feet higher than the sea, in terfered somewhat with the ar arranfrement. BOKX. In Astoria. Oct. L'Cth, to the wif of Cant. G. Reed, a daughter. 2TEW TO-DAY.
