There are 272 prisoners confined in the state penitentiary at the present time, the largest number that has ever been imprisoned there at one time. A pumpkin weighting 102 pounds sent from Gray's river and at A. V. Allen's store shows what can be done in the mat ter of the wholesale manufacture of pon koen piah. It is said that the reason the Seattle Herald went under was because it could not collect what was due it from the bus iness men of that city. Well, a news paper is like any other business. It can't pay its debts or dues unless others pay it whpt they owe to it. It would appear as though the railroad managers have made a mistake in put ting the fare to the New Orleans exposi tion so high. At a lesser rate they would have ten from Oregon to the one that will pav the rate asked. Of course the answer is," "If you don't want to go you can stay at home," which does not admit of successful contradiction, but the fare seems pretty steep all the same. The party in charge of Assistant Otto Von Geldern have finished surveying off Fort Stevens. Since the survey of 185G about 1,000 feet of bank has made north and east, and it is now found that the better location for a wharf would bo to the eastward of the present one. As soon as the exact United States reservation line is determined, the precise location of the proposed work will bo known. The social and dance at Liberty hall was well attended. Tho evening was a beautiful one; every one felt good; the supper was all that could be desired; the music was in accord; and between forty and fifty couple had "a real nice time. The Astoria Ladies Coffee club has had no opportunity yet to exhibit its merit in furnishing refreshments at a fire, but as a popular social organization it is a suc cess. J. W. Crawford, assistant U. S. com missioner for Oregon, sent out over sixty ciroulars to that many newspapers in the state, asking them to send their papers to New Orleans during tho Centennial or World's Fair, and asking them to re sponded, yes or no. Twenty-three havo responded, all saying they would send their paper, tho forty not having been heard from. Mr. Crawford will publish a list of tho papers on December 1st, that visitors may expect to find on file while attending the fair. A party of firebugs seem to bo engaged in a concerted effort to burn down Port land's dooks. Half a dozen attempts have lately been made, and last Thursday night one of the miscreants was caught. Hasty examination, says the Orcgonian, showed both hands saturated with the inflammable oil. They brought him to the city jail, where he was immediately recognized as Jimmy McGuire, a notori ous vagrant, who has not dono an hour's honest work since he came to town. He was carefully searched. In one pocket was found a pint bottle, such as alcohol is nsually sold in by druggists, with about two tablespoonsful of kerosene remain ing therein, the rest having evidently been poured on tho woodpile. In his pantaloons and inner vest pockot, there were several pieces of small, dry cedar kindling, and two small bunches of matches. A handkerchief was found bound over each shoo at the heel. The handkerchiefs were folded so that there were several thicknesses under the heel, and their ends were tied at the instep. McGuire maintained sullen silence during the search.

But one in a million attain the ago of j a hundred years, and but one in a hun t dred million who has completed a cen tury of existence is of importance enough to notice beyond tho fact of his great age. The Hebrew throughout the world is now celebrating the hundredth birthday of one of tho greatest men and purest philantrohpisis in tho universe. A man who throughout a hundred years of a use ful life has practically exemplified the Divine command, and has gone through the world doing to all men as ho would that they should do unto him. Such a man belongs to no race, or ago or nationality. The world claims him, and every man, whatever his faith, his language, or his nationality is the better for tho life and labors of the eminent Jewish philanthropist who yesterday completed one hundred years of an ex traordinary and useful career. "The world is my country; to do good is my re ligion," would seem to be the motto that this man has chosen and nobly has he lived np to it, and hns always been the advocate of the first and most deathless principles of our common humanity. In the town of Itamsgate, Euglaud. but aloof from it by wide fields of grain and clover, crossed by yellow lines of dusty road, on a green plateau with a fine bor der of woods, stands East Cliff Lodge. Not many yards from its front windows the white chalk cliffs make sheer descent to where tho sea daily grasps nud relin quishes the sands beneath the golden sands for which the boautiful beaches of South English shores are so famous. It is a lovely and pleasantly solitary spot, inclosed in the walls so familiar as the boundaries of xrivnte estates in rural and suburban England. Set in the side of a hillock, and thickly bowered in vines, is a rustic door by which one passes down into the subter ranean grotto leading among curious shells and dark shrubberies from the center of the grounds to the sea. The walks through the garden and approach ing the house are winding and richly shaded, and the murmur of tho sea, mingling with the play of tho wind in the leaves, makes a continuous flow of soothing melody around this hermitage, tho home of one of tho most charitable men who ever lived, and now one of the oldest among the living. In this charming garden, many years ago, Sir Moses Monteliore, even then in tho middlo years of life, used to receive the Duchess of Kent and her little daugh ter, and around the elders, while they walked and conversed, played and prat tled tho littlo maid, pleased with the but terflies and flowers, who now is Queen Victoria, the white-haired, care-worn mistress of tho throne, the crowns and all the honors and orders of Great Britain and India. As at Hawardeu castle lives whenever he can get away from the coil of state af fairs to his beloved wood chopping, Glad stone, the 'old man eloquent,' so at East Cliff Lodgo lives tho 4old" man benefi cent,' who has been an old man eloquent as well in tho causo of h"s race, the Jews, for whom ho has seven times journeyed to tho Holy Land, the last time in his ninety-first year in order to comfort his co-religionists, and relieve them both with money and counsel. For them also he has sued and successfully at nearly every throne in Europe, pleading in per son for redress of wrongs, for the repeal of oppressive decrees, for jnster privi leges and opportunities, with so much majesty of presence, so much eloquence of feeling, and with reasonings so unan swerable that ho conld not be repulsed. A SKETCH OF IS LITK. Moses Montofioro was born on the 21th of October, 1781, in Leghorn, whero his father, Joseph Elias Monteliore, was a merchant. His mother was Rachel. daughter of Abraham Mocalta. Ho was a strong, handsome boy, in whom a prac tical vigorous mind very happily com bined with a sensitive, affectionate and imaginative temperament. He was trained as a merchant and en tered the stock exchange when very young, and was in 1814 made treasurer of tho Portugese synagogue. Cordially re spected for his unblemished honor and uprightness, he was as cordially liked for his sinoere, courteous and winning man ors. Of the Allianca insnranca office, opened in 1824, he was partially the founder, was its first president, and has been its only one, still filhug tho chair, after a tenure of just sixty years. His wife, Judith Cohen, was an ed ucated lady of noble character and a benevolence of disposition equal to his own. Moses had acquired a considerable fortune In his business career, and his wife cared as warmly as he did to uso their leisure in discover the right objects for their charitable designs, and their wealth in alleviating, distress. In his love for Jerusalem, and his profound de sire to raise the condition of tho Jewish race there and everywhere, she helped him always with her quick sympathy, her sparkling intellect, and her steadfast co operation. In 1857 they went together to Syria. Earthquakes and the plague had made that land a sorrowful one, full of misery and need. The fever still raged, but they did not hesitato through fear of it, They pushed through great difficulties, and camped at last on the Mount of Ol ives. They nursed the sick, cheered and soothed the terrified people who flocked around them, gave money to all who were fit to mako a right uso of it, and mado generous use of it themselves for those who were by illness or moral weak ness incompetent. It was on his return to London after these labors that ho was knighted by the young Queen, then on her nrst visit to tho city. He had boon made a mem ber of tho Board of Deputies (a body constituted to take charge of Jewish in terests at home and abroad) in 1823, and its president in 1835. In 1840 the ser vices of this board were called into ac tion by the cruel persecution of the Jews at Damascus, who, on a pretext some what similar to and as baseless as that trumped up in the Tisla-Esla trial, were being tortured, hunted, and killed with out mercy. Sir Moses addressed a meeting in tho Mansion House, offering to go immedi ately to the scone of these atrocities, The reply was the spontaneous subscrip tion fund of 7,000 to which Sir Moses's own. contribution was large. Lady Judith went with him, and the French Jews re inforced him in tho person of tho fa mous lawyer M. Cremieux. Arriving in Egypt, Sir Moses sought audience with Mehemet AH. That monarch granted the request, and there was shown in to him a man of ideally commanding pres ence, more than six feet in height, erect, with finely knitted figure, gestures of subtle eloquenoe, a face mingling the Asiatic and Italian types of masculine beauty in lineaments of great harmony, dark eyes, flashing and softening, yet always penetrating and dominant, as ho spoke of tho unmerited woes of his race to the man who could relieve their suffer ings. Astonished and affected, Mehemet Ah conceived an admiring friendship for this defender of tho oppressed, and granted him all ho asked. To firmly es tablish this success, Sir Moses pushed on to Constantinople, saw tho Sultan, and procured from him the Hatti-Homayoun, which secured to tho Jews rights equal to those of any other inhabitants of Turkish soil. Christians viod with tho Jews in wel coming him home to England from this journey, and he "received a superb silver testimonial, monumental in design.weigh ing about 2,000 ounces, and richly en graved with the scenes of his journey ings. In 1842 he established in Jerusalem, at his own cost, a dispensary, available to an applicants, witu a qucuuieu puysiciuu, and supported the wholo for three years, whilo a regular hospital was boing organ ized. In tho winter of 1846 Lady Judith ac companied him on another long and anx ious journey, this time to Russia, whero the Jews wero suffering from an afflict ing ukase. When at tho close of his ap peal Sir Mosos asked, "Sire, will you not emancipate my co-religionists?" tho czar, as little ablo to withstand him ns Meh emet Ali had been, exclaimed, "Yes, if they resemble yon." Tho autocrat treated his noble guest with great kindness, and provided liim with every safeguard and convenience for his tour of investigation through Western Russia and Poland. Daring this journey Sir Moses gained a tremen dous ascendancy over his fellow-religionists in these countries by tho unvarying interest he showed, by the kindness with which he rebuked as well as encouraged, and by the steady flow of his charities; and be induced them by thousands to agriculture a thing tho czar greatly de sired, and which they had refused. When he came homo from this work tho queen made him a baronet. Then fol lowed the already mentioned journey of relief to plague and famine wasted Syria in 1851, and the earnest but fruitless ef fort in the Mbrtara case in Rome, 1&3. Soon after this came the overshadow ing grief of his life. His beloved wifesick ened, and on the 23th of September, 1862, she died. Her tomb, modeled after that of Rachel, stands near the synagogue built by Sir Moses at Ramsgate. They had no children. But the essence of her companionship remained with him in the ever-strengthening inspiration to leave no good thing undone that it wae in his power to do. His benefactions wero made in her name, which thus con tinues to be associated with wise char ities and constant deeds of kindness and sympathy. Only a few months after her death ho made another journey to the east, this time to rescue Christians from the perse cutions of tho Druses in Syria. Ho made a sixth visit to Constantinople in 18G4, to get previous concessions to tho Jews con nrmed by the new Sultan; and in the autumn of tho same year in his eighty first year hastened to Morrocco to save tho Jews from persecutions similar to those formerly raging at Damascus; to Roumania, u little later, on n liko errand of intercession for the Jews there; and again and yet again to the Holy Land nlways tho relief-bringor. Like his pub lic benefactions not only to Jews, but to colleges, schools, hospitals, orphan ages, and asylums his private charities have been countless, as the widows and orphans of wrecked fishermen, the sick, crippled and unfortuuato everywhere, can testify. To the sufferers in thoTisla Esia case, recently concluded, ho sent 7f0. His interest in world affairs and in all that truly concerns either community or individual, and his impulse to help wherever it is needed, are as fresh as when he first knew the delight of giving, for though enfeebled in body, he is still in possession of those noble powers of heart and mind which through his whole life, even into his hundredth year, have been consecrated to humanity. But thero are no more journeys for him now, except that last one which will reunite him to his loved ones in the New Jerusalem. Portland and San Francisco will cele brate the occasion to-morrow. One of tho features in the universal observation of tho event will bo a set of appropriate resolutions of congratulations trom every B'nai B'rith lodge in tho world. Each subordinate lodgo will forward its set of resolutions to their respective district grand lodge, and they will in turn trans mit them to the executive council, whero they will be handsomely bound and sent as a contribution of the day.

"Tho Polished Shaft" was the titlo of a thoughtful discourse delivered by Rev. J. Q. A. Henry of East Portland, at tho Baptist church last ovening. The speaker took for tho keynote of his discourse the necessity for culture. He spoke of need ful discipline and culture of the body, the demand for a sound physical frame, Ihcneed of exercise aud the observance of sanitary requirements that would in sure immunity from disease and suffer ing. Passing from the physical to the mental tho speaker dwelt at length on the need of mind culture, of tho actual necessity of so disciplining the intellect that it should be capable of producing tho highest results, and that "tho polished shaft," man at his best estate ihould be so polished by the attrition of applied culture that sent twanging from the bow of circumstance with the aim of destiny he should strike the mark true and fair and score a prize. From discussion of the means to ad vance the health of tho body and the power of the mind, the speaker went into the discussion of the soul, the conscience, the spiritual element of man. He held that a quickening of tho Divine impulse in humanity, a lofty range of thought and an abiding faith in the future life and its teachings were necessary for a rightful development of man's full est powera and a needful requisite in the great trinity of humanity as exemplified in tho perfect, though possibly ideal man. With a widening of his subject ho took up many of tho questions that agitato tho human heart; ho spoke of the doubts and fears that sweep in tempest acros3 tho soul, and argued that without religion man never could reach tho true culture that was essential to temporal happiness or eternal bliss. Ho asserted that religion was necessary in the public schools; that godless instruction only cultured intellect in advance of con science, and predicted that a purely secu lar education would subvert and finally destroy the liberties of the country. His address was full of originality, was characterized by evident thought upon tho subject, and was expressed in clear, terse English, though somewhat marred by the vociferous manner in which it was uttered. At the beginning and close some fine music was song by tho choir, and Chap lain Scott announced that he would lec ture to-morrow evening on "Lessons that tho church could gather from the present political contest."
