W I n&A nnrtiflrif 31 B il i 1 1 I I THE EDITOR OF THE YEAR 1883 TIip editor of 1SS3 will be para grapliically bright, -witty and wise to the extent of a column or more sis times a week, twenty-five days a rnenth, and some three hundred odd days durinc: the year even though his head have a cold in it, or bis stomach have dyspepsia in it, or in his bones be rheumatism, or in his liver excessive bile. As to regularity of intellectual effort, he is to be a cast-iron man, not affected by changes of weather, by cold rooms, or rooms over heated, or by discordant and harsh sounds about him as he endeavors to chain his thought by pen and ink to paper. And he shall ever write in the cheerful, genial, hopeful strain, though there be sickness at home and debts due abroad, though he sees one wolf at the front door and two at the back door. And his thought shall ever be clear and its measure and sound ings deep, though corns twinge and bunions afflict; though teeth ache and his epigastrum through sensation proclaim itself an abused organ; though his head throb by reason of some nocturnal passing indulgence, toward which there may be that natural tendency on the principle that the best bow must at times be unstrung, and that there is even a painful tension in the steady and long-continued habit of hard, conscientious, pains taking work. The editor of 1883 will never sigh for relaxation; never wish to go a fishing, never ask a vacation; never long to be rich, that he may work when he m03t feels like it. lie will never become tired or nauseated as ho looks over the daily exchanges, and finds them, as ever, filled with the same mo notonous records of deaths, mur ders, suicides, fires, burglaries, em bezzlements, defalcations, "run over and killed," "run away with and killed," "death by Paris green," I cntntrronbo MrnwynTrinre oil 4-Iia ' same, the same, and the same, from year's end to year's end, with but a change of name and local ity So firmly based will be his mind, that his lively interest in all j wastes a good deal of its valuable these things shall never flgg, and, sPace in tryinS to show luat Gen' he will go on to the end until .Grant is a candidate for 1SS4. stretched out in his journalistic Therearo throe good and unicient coffin, tho lively, sharp, incUve reasona whJ General Grant will chronicler of this" eternal round of ! not bo a candidate in 1SS4: (1), human events.

Graphic, j Certificates of stock for the Goldsborough Creek Railroad company, says the Intelligencer, arc now being printed. The capital stock is $50,000, divided into 500 shares of 100 each. This road will penetrate a rich timber district in Mason county, and will be used in transporting logs from the interior to the salt water. Tho first section, two and one-half miles in length, will be built and stocked during the present season. Ducks are reported to bo able to fly 1.500 miles at one time, and the pace of the awallow and martin is put down at 900 miles in twenty four hours. Linnets and other seed-eating birds have been known to settle on the mast and rigging of ships far away from land out at j sea. inev rm ii a l .1 L.J . will take their night's j rest on the rigging, and when leaving the ship know exactly in what direction to continue their flight, ft is said that the migra-i .... ...... ii tion of birds will loreteii severe weather, and it is well known bv " j the bird catchers, wheu larks an oinor noruiurn uirus apprur, inui. snow and hard weather will follow lio fllrrVif Tlincn u'pninrr: rf ', . , , , it miirratorv birds, thoujrb apparently I insignificant, may be of vast poiiti-. . , . , ' " " - Tr.i, v v'i ' i j.1. tilt uiuumui iiuyiguu, nuui j on the road to Moscow with his army in 1811, had condescended to observe the flight of storks and cranes passing over his fated bat talions, subsequent events of the politics of Europe might have been very different. These storks and ! cranes knew of the coming of a great and terrible winter; the birds hastened toward the south, No- poleon and his army toward tho! north. T T . . I As to tnimicrv, the most astonishing power of any animal, says Dr. H. "W. Mitchell. Inhabiting as it does the forests of Africa and feeding upon the boughs of trees, its great size makes it a most conspicuous ob ject. Its most dreaded enemies are tho stealthy lion and man. In the regions it most frequents are j manv dead and blasted trunks of I j trees, and its mimicry is such that j the most practiced eye has failed to distinguish a giraffe from a tree J j trunk or a tree trunk from a gi- j raffe. It has even been said that a lion has looked long and ear nestly at a giraffe, in doubt j whether it was a tree or not, and j then skulked awav.

It is said that the last spike of the main line of the N. P. will be driven at a point from ten to fif teen miles west of Helena. Prep arations are already being made for a grand celebration at Helena when the work is completed. The JSFeics charges Lappeus, the Portland chief of police, with "be ing in with the gamblers." It says he receives $2 a week as hush money for each Chinese tan table in the city, and that there are Co tables. The steamship "Oregon," of the Guion Line, which is now being built at Clyde, will have in its cab ins numerous pictures of Oregon and Washington scenery, put in frames made of difierent kinds of wood secured from the statu and : territory.
