The foUowing "Washington special is given for what it is worth: It is staled that last summer Henry Poor, compiler ot the Railroad Manual, be came satisfied that the Northern Pa cific Railway Company was concealing a large floating indebtedness, and that its stock must suffer a heavy decline. He formed a syndicate and sold stock .short to the amount, it is stated, of 40,000 shares. The stock was above SO and went below 4.0, and his profits were in the neighborhood of $2,000, fXX). Vhcn the facts came out Poor's estimate of the indebtedness was found to have been almost absolutely correct Vhen the stock began to go down it seemed to receivo mysterious assistance in its downward tendency. This is now believed to have been the result of large sales by President Villard, who, it is asserted, has prof ited to lho extent of millions by pur huiug the policy of Jay Gould in deal ing with his own stockB. Many of his friends have been entirely cleaned out. American Policy. Confidential instructions which wore sent from Washington last week to the commanders of American men-of-war cruising in the Chinese waters wore such as were usually commu nicated to officers for their guidance in relation to the action of our squad ron in case of actual hostilities oc curring between Prance and China. The rights of American merchants doing business in China, which might l)e taken or attacked by the French forces were fully explained, and our naval officers wore directed to see that their rights were respected and maintained by the French and Chi nese commanders. Strict neutrality is to be observed in all cases, no matter in what direction the sympa thies of the officers may be. The quarrel is between China and France, ami is none of our affair. The New Company. A New York special of the 3d says: The shareholders of the Postal Tele graph Company to-day ratified the sale of their property to the Postal telograpli and Cable Company. .LAY. Mackav was present at the meeting, and about $15,000,000 was voted in favor of the sale. A meeting of the stockholders of the new company will be held next Thursday, for the purpose of perfecting organization. One of the first things done will be the election of Mackay as president The Willamette Farmer in speak ing of the "returning pioneers" says: AVe have made it a point to ask all whom we have met what difference they have found between farming in Oregen and elsewhere. The common answer is that farmers there are very industrious and cannot afford to lose a day's time from work. They also say that our people spend more money on living than eastern farmers do; in other words, eastern farmers are more economical of both time and money. They also unite in saying that our farming is lacking in diver sity of crops and suffers from too great dependence on specialties, such as wheat-growing, which too many depend on to the exclusion of all other sources of income, and fanning in Oregon has not yet reached a high grade of effort, but must come up to eastern examples before it can fairly succeed. Tho experience of our re turning pioneers will be valuable, because they will compare methods and learn a lesson of great value to all. All concede that the regions they visited have shown better system, more diversified industry, greater suc cess in some respects, and that this is accomplished by unremitting labor and strict economy with close man agement. Fannie" writes to the "Waterbury American to inquire "how short-girls' walking-dresses shall be worn," and that idle journal says in reply: "Really, Fannie wo were not previ ously aware that they should wear their dresses differently from long girls, and, in fact, we are somewhat embarrassed as to how wo shall reply. But if we were a short girl we think wo should wear our dress with tho ruffled portion down and next to our well, just under our sealskin. If it were new and pretty we should wear it long enough to let that Jones girl, who had her old one made over in tho fall, see it, before we struck pa's 'kick' for another. Wo should not only wear it while walking, but we shouldn't be so conventional as to take it off when we wanted to sit down. These are only suggestions, Fannie, but if you want authority on the subject you'd better write to the telegraph editor." Col. Woolford, an unreconstructed Confederate and congressman-elect from one of the mountain districts of Kentucky, has arrived in Washing ton. He is probably tho roughest diamond that has ever received con gressional setting since the Republic was established, and in his own way he is sure to make his mark. The first thing ho did was to have his room reduced in its furnishings to jmlitary simplicity. He had the car pet first taken off tho floor. The next thing to go was the hair mattrass and wire springs; he wanted a straw bed on the slab, and a straw pillow. Tho curtains were torn out of the win dows, and then Gen. Frank Woolford moved in his baggage and was ready to see his friends. General Sherman was not christ ened until after ho was eighteen years of age. The clergyman objected at tho ceremony to christen Mm Will iam Tecumseli, on the ground that the second name was a heathen one. Tho future general of the army then eaid that the namo which his father had given him was good enough for him, and if the minister didn't care 1 3 go on with the ceremony, he would try to struggle along through life un christened. Tho clergyman relented. Save a corner in your cupboard for St Jacobs Oil, the best pain-cure on earth. A Part Escaped. A dispatch from the Austrian con- 1 i 11 L T1,. I,,,- Ol bill at rv MHrumm uulcu 1a.cuiuci cru, says letters received from Kordopan announce that one-third of Hicks Pasha's troops, including the English officers, were killed in the recent bat tle. The remaining two-thirds are encamped at Rohad, receiving pro visions from TakelL and asking for reinforcements. Khartoum is re ported tranquil. "It is now learned," says the Wash ington correspondent of the Balti more Sun, "that the decision of tho supreme court as to the unconstitu tionality of the civil rights bill was reached early in the last term, and Justice Bradley was assigned to pre pare the opinion. For private rea sons he left the matter unattended to for months, and the decision was not ready for promulgation nntil tho be ginning of this term. There prob ably never was an opinion of the court more mutually considered, and the justices must have been thor oughly convinced of th soundness of their views, as it was not publicly known that they had come to a con clusion on the subject, and the decis ion could have been reconsidered at any time within the long period of nearly a year which elapsed before the opinion was prepared!" The persistency with which men who have graduated in crime cling to their calling finds a striking illustra tion in the case of Brockway, the New York forger. This man has a suspended sentence ot thirty years hanging over him to be enforced in case of his being detected again in forgery. The sentence was suspended on condition of his turning over counterfeiters' plates and tools to the officers of the law and giving cer tain information. It wonld naturally be supposed that if ho could not lead an honest life he would select some other branch of crime for his future operations, the penalty of which was not so definitely fixed. But he vent ured again in the old business and will now. doubtless, end his life in the penitent iary, being over sixty years old. The much-mended Pinta has finally started on her long trip around the Horn to Alaska. She will receive her battery on the Pacific coast provided she is in condition to take it on board when she gets there. The bravo officers and crew have the sympathy of all in their vovage.

He will laugh five minutes for five cents, and the ringing continuous cachination is said to be worth the money. The town of Butler, Pa., uses nat ural gas for illumination and for fuel.
