Transcript Portland Journalists. Portland edi itors are proverbial for their gallantry to the fair sex, but one of them got discour sed last Saturday, and swore off. He found one of the 160-pound fairies of his city trying to pick her way across a oenddy street. What else could he do? He took her in his arms and landed her high and dry-shod upon the other side, when she smilingly exclaimed: "Oh, that's too lovely for anything. Let's go back!" The reporter has gone into win ter quarters. " Another Surprising Verdict. Our CheE&lis correspondent wrote as follows January 23d: Theodore J. Smith, com monly called "Joe" Smith, was indicted for killing Henry Clay Lockwood at this term of court. The killing occurred in the saloon of Frank Smith last October, and on a preliminary examination Joe Smith was held to bail in the sum of four thousand dollars. On Monday last he was tried on an indictment for man slaughter, and yesterday the jury re turned a verdict of acquittal. The ver dict was a surprise, not only to the intel ligent portion of the community, but to the defendant. Surely, life, liberty and property have but little protection in the hands of a jury. Seattle Post-Intelli-gtneer.- The Ualnrsal Strife. The luxuries of life are what all want. -To get them becomes the ruling passion. They want them to waste on themselves alone. There lies the great wrong. Sel Jishness is the all absorbing sin. It is not wrong to want to be rich, but it is wrong to want it all for self. The world Is often mistaken in men. Daring his life many thought that Stephen Girard was a selfish miser, but after his death it -was found that he had opened a perennial Jointaih of learning for orphans. His millions will continue to kindle the fires of high education for all time. AVhen crer you see a man all absorbed in self, and never once helping his neighbors, be patient with him, ne may come out nil right in the end. It is very suspicious -when you observe that he never scruples td the means he uses to attain his ends. If he is laying np money and accumulat ing power by honorable means, then you may conjecture that it will be all right in the qcL But if he is full of tricks, evasions, and short turns, and practices upon the motto, get mosey 'at all hazards, honestly if you can, but by villany if you must, then you nave a right to judge and condemn him. Wisdom" achieves nigkest ends by the purest means. The trader, who looks jotly at his own end of the bargain he -jMsjM'is a bad man. The politician "'"tfVrfcetrays'his own party for the sake of jftnomsl self, is not to be trusted by pure seen. It is not always necessary to be a red hot partisan, but it is necessary to be traetwortby while bearing the honors of t'a party. A pure political party, founded ob principle is possible, but it is possible i aly iWe xaea of principle manage its Affairs, fcoaorably ami nobly. The "Ex-TIlIanT Stocks. Tuesday's X. Y. World says: Yester day, with a single stroke, Gould gave a terrible exhibition of his power, and , those who the day before were calculat ing how long it would be before he would ' fall under the load he was carryins. were ; jealously watching his footsteps and nursing wounds he had inflicted. It was a day of great interest. Again the Villard, or rather the ex-Villard, se curities blazed forth into prominence. As they were the caupo of the long period of depression, they have now been made a lever by which the entire market, it is hoped, will bo sustained. It is seldom that there has been witnessed such wild fluctuations in valuas. The cause of the advances may be stated in two words Jay Gould. Says a leading operater: "No one knows better than Gould that the public are not buying stocks, and that the only way to give interest or confidence is to advance prices slowly and with such care as to retain the assistance of the large bear element. In the opinion of conserv ative men he has not onlv eliminated the short interest, but has induced a shock to public confidence by the discovery that the stock market on Friday and Saturday was-on the brink of a panic. This Gould avoided by a loan which must be ruinous to the Oregon and Transcontinental company." An officer of the Oregon and Trans continental Company explains the pres ent oondition of that and its kindred companies as follews: "When the $8,000,- uuu was negotiated a iew weeks ago, tne syndicate which advanced the money was given option on stock pledges as collat eral. There were 47,750 shares of North ern Pacific preferred at 50, and 47,70 shares of Isorthern Pacific common at 25. Should the lenders take their option the Oregon and Transcontinental Com pany will have left in its treasury near ly 100,030 shares of Oregon Railway and Navigation, 75,000 shares of Northern Pacific preferred and 75,000 shares of Northern Pacific common. "These hold ings would, I think, be enough to con trol the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company, but it would not be sufficient to control the Northern Pacific' The latest rumor intimates that a spe cial meeting of directors of all the com panies of the Northern Pacific sjT3teni will be held within ten days, at which certain resignations will be accepted, to be replaced by the names of Sage, Gould, Field, and two prominent railroad men, one of whom is connected with the southwestern system, and the other with the Union Pacific. Bills In CongrcbS. Mr. George has introduced the follow ing bills not heretofore presented this sessien: "To authorize the secretary of intetior to make allowance for rents of U. S. laud offices," which provides a reason able allowance for office rent for each district land office to Ikj paid for out of the appropriation for incidental expenses of district land offices; and in all cases where such office rent has heretofore been paid by registers and receivers the amounts so paid shall be allowed said officers upon satisfactory showing of the facts and the amounts so by him allowed shall be credited to said officers in the settlement of their pecounts. "In relation to certain fees allowed registers and recehers," for testimony reduced to writing for claimants in estab lishing timber, timber culture, stone and desert laud entries, and in contested cases therein, shall not be considered or taken into account in determining the maximum of compensation of said offi cers; and they shall be entitled to the same fees for examining and approving testimony in all cases whatsoever given before the judge or clerk of a court as are now allowed by law for taking the same. "To allow the cities of Portland and Astoria to levy and collpct tonnage taxes for the improvement of certain rivers and harbors, as follews: "That for the purpose of the improve ment of the entrance of the Columbia and the river channels at and below the city of Portland, in the state of Oregon, or for either or any of those purposes, it shall be lawful for the proper authorities of the said city of Portland to provide for the laying and collecting of a tonnage tax upon" all vessels entering the said port from any foroign port or place: Provided, That of the sum so raised one half thereof at least shall bo used in the improvement of the entrance of the mouth of the Columbia river. And it shall b6 lawful for the city of Astoria, in Oregon, to provide for laying and col lecting a tonnage taz on all vessels which enter said port from any foreian port or place, and do not enter the aforesaid poit of .Portland and pay the tonnage dues levied by the said city of Portland."

Ju the senate last Tuesday Senator Dolph presented a memorial asking the senate to enact u law confirming dona tion lands "ranted bv the act of Septem ber, 1850, to the state, and ordering their sale tor -cuoo purposes. Senator Slater presented in the senate on Tuesdaj a lueiuoriul of more than 203 citizens of the state of Oregon, repre senting that for more than twenty years odd numbered sections of public lands, forty miles wide and 140 miles long, have been withdrawn from settlement for the benefit of the Northern Pacific railroad, to the great damage of the people of the state of Oregon, "and praying that said lands be now restored to settlement. Also a petition from citizens of Oregon who have settled upon lands reserved by the Northern Pacific railroad, included with in the limits of lands of The Dalles Mili tary Company, said company having heretofore refused to allow settlement or improvement of any lands held by them, and praying that the lands be restored to the railroad company and opened to settlement. Tuesday's New York Times says there secrets of the Northern Pacific job legis lation, which bestowed upon that corpor ation an imperial domain that costs its financial agents $1,200,000 in securities. How many dead congressman's estates have shown possession of blocks of Northern Pa ilic ground floor interests ? Bold Henry Villard threatened a dis closure of some of these secrets, which would have besmsirched the dead and the living alike, and rathea than "call his hand" he was given control of the corpor ation. What a veritable "old man of the sea" it has proved to him, and he, too, has his soul burdened with legislative secrets. His agents spent tens of thou sands of dollars here last winter to pre vent legislation iniregard to the forfeiture of the Northern Pacific land grant, and part of his private fortune went to defray the expense. There would seem to be a flavor of retributive justice in the mis fortune which has overtaken him. THE GIBL OX ROLLER SKATES.

From time to time there come into the Columbia river first-class wooden ships in ballast, flying the American flag, and new from tho shipyards of Maine. The fine American ship Jlerom, now discharg ing at the Main street wharf, is a good specimen of the clas. Tho coming of each new ship denotes the light hold we still have on the ocean carrying trade. The vassels themselves attract general admiration, and justly, for they are beau tiful objects. Among the squat barks and dingy boxes of British boiler iron, their fine lines and far-reaching spars and unsoiled canvas make them conspicuous. They are the elite of the sea. In point of aesthetic interest, at least, there is no comparison between the full-rigged, American-built wooden ship of from fifteen to twenty-two hundred'tons and anything else that floats on the ocean. The greater part of the aumviug fleet of American ships was built in Maine, where the industry is still active in spite of many discouraging conditions. The yards of Bath and neighboring towns on the Kennebec are foremost in the world in wooden shipbuilding, Next, probably, is Thomaston; some of the largest wooden vessels in existence were built there. Kennebunk, Damariscotta, and half a dozen other places on tho Maine coast, Portsmouth in New Haumshire. New- buryport, Medford and East Boston in Massachusetts, and Mystic in Con necticut have been chief centers of the industry. From the edition of 1884 of the American Lloyds Record, which, as we assume, is nearly complete in its reg istration of American-built ships, we have derived by actual fount some inter esting facts: American-built ships sailing under the American flag 372 American-built ships sailing under foreign flags 158 Of the 372 American-built ships with American owners, of which there is re cord in the list of the Amerioau Lloyds, 253. or just about two-thirds, were built in Maine, while 115, or nearly one-third came from the shipyards of Bath alone. Including all the ships built in the United States, and now serviug American or foreign owners, we find thit fii6 sta tistics of nativity are as follews: Maine 319 Massachusetts m New York si New Hampshire 15 ' Connecticut 12 All other states 17 Total 530 The 18 American-built ships which have passed out of our merchant marine and into the service of foreign owners are iuu.s uisiriuuiea: Germany 82 Norway and Sweden .. 35 Great Britain 23 Holland 3 Austria 3 All other nations 12 Total 158 Muny of these are old vessels; and it is a somewhat curious fact that the number of ships sold to German or Nonvecian purchasers is proportionately greater from the Massachusetts yards, particu larly irom iNewnuryport aim Jledford, than from the Maine yards. That is to say, the Maine shim have remained un der the American nag. That state built, as we have seeu, about two-thirds of all the ships now registered as American ves sels; while of the l."8 exiled craft she built less than half. Of tho 145 Bath-built ships of which we have record, only 15 have been put under foreigh bunting. The American Lloyds records 75 ships of all nationalities, registering 2,000 tons or 072T. Thirty-one of these belong to tho United States. WE, EDGAR, Dealer lu Cigars, Tobacco and Cigarettes Meerschaum and Brier Pipes, GENUINE ENGLISH CUTLERY Revolvers and Cartridges. BOAT BUILDING, R. M.
