FRANCE AND CHINA.
London, March 28. A dispatch'
from Paris says it is officially an-
nounced that-Chinese troops on the ,
Tonquin frontier yesterday made a,
desperate attack upon the en trenched J
camp established by General !
jNegrier, between Langson and
ii-ilna, and from which Ueneral
Negrier has been making reconnois-
ances beyond the frontier separating
Tonquin from China proper. The
Chinese drove the French back be
yond Langson, and recaptured that
town. Ueneral regner was griev
ously wounded, and tho French cas
ualties were very serious.
Latest accounts represent the
French troops in full retreat with the
Chinese vigorously pursuing them.
Vast quantities of commissary and
other stores were lost. General Ne
grier received a gun-shot wound in
the chest He was brought from the
field, but his recovery is doubtful.
The total French los3, killed and
wounded, are not yet known.
General Brier de Lisle, who is in
chief command in Tonquin, tele
graphs for assistance in an imploring
tone, which leads Parisians to expect
further disasters. A council of war
was held to-day, with General Lewal,
minister of war, presiding. Intense
excitement prevails wherever the bad
news has become known in France.
Should Thank Reecher.
Washington, March 29. Various
stories are related as to tho manner
in which the new minister to England
was discovered by President Cleve
land. An eastern member of congress
attributes Phelps' selection to Henry
WardBeecher. "Tho fact is," said
this congressman, "President Cleve
land never met Phelps but once, and
knew so little about him that he
would never thought of selecting him
for the office if some powerful influ
ence bad not suggested it Henry
Ward Beecher has been a warm per
sonal friend of Phelps for several
years, and Ueecher came to Wasuinjr-
ton about ten days before Phelps was
nominated, and had a long talk with
the president I am told he enme
here expressly to ask that Phelps be
named as minister to England. The
president feels that he is under deep
obligations to Beecher, so much so
that anything thatBeecher might ask
would be granted. There is no donbt
that Phelps got his place at the re
quest of the. Plymouth church pas
tor." Walla Walla, March 2S. The re
adjustment of the limits of tho North
ern Paciflo land graut by secretary
Lamar, so as to run directly east from
Wallula Junction instead of north
easterly, as formerly, gives great sat
isfaction here, as it will enable a
large number of settlers who have
made valuable improvements upon
railroad lands to obtain title thereto.
There was great uneasiness in the
community in regard to the class of
lands affected, and a failure to make
the change would have involved a
number of citizens in heavy losses,
and meant absolute ruin to others.
A gentleman just returned from
British Columbia says the Indians
who live near the cranberry marshes
on the main land pidk the ripe cran
berries from the moss that grows un
der the vines now and sell them for 25
cents a quart They aie cherry red
and very delicious sauce when cooked.
It is said the Indians only pick them
after the snow melts in early spring.
Willamette Farmer.
A contract for furnishing beef to
the garrison at Vancouver barracks,
has been let to Mr. Blurock of Port
land, for $6.90 per hundred. It is
said that the contractor will have to
lose money. Beef cattle are worth
10 cents in the cattle country east of
tho mountains.
Ainsworth, the railroad town at the
crossing of Snake river, is abolished,

Herring are being caught at Ya

are said to be the best fish found in

Considerable immigration comes

The Table Groaned.
This is an old expression, used to
convey the idea of a big dinner; so
big as to make the table creak and
threaten to tumble to the floor. Some
times it happens that people eat too
much of the big dinner and have to
groan over the attacks of indigestion,
the precursors of regular dyspepsia.
Brown's Iron Bitters, the great enemy
of dyspepsia, relievs all this trouble
and makes comfort take the place of
groaning. Mrs. Matilda Davidson,
Montgomery City., Mo., says, "I took
Brown's Iron Bitters for dyspepsia,
and it did me great good."

OUTDOOR LIFE.
Man seems planned for an outdoor,
life in a inild climate, with just a leaf
or two of shelter for a rainy day. His
nature will bend for a time "to the
conventional burdens of an artiGcial
civilization, but replant him on first
principles m tho outdoor garden of
life and lm recuperative forcer, will
rebound with the elastic energy of
stee 1 springs relieved. Our ftsbio.iable
friends would lose cast were they to
use their neighbor's second-hand
clothing, but they will daily try to
purify their own blood with "their
neighbor's second-hand or ten times
used breath, poisoned as it always is,
even when exhaled by young" and
healthy persons. Man, iu common
with other warm blooded creatures,
generates a surplus of heat within his
body. Outdoor sleepers find that no
matter how cold the surrounding air
may be, if dry, enough of the outflow- s
iug iieas may ie ttnmmea uacx auui
reiainea oy suitaoie ciotmng to sus
tain tho -rital functions in health and
comfort Until domestic art can sup
ply our lungs with cool, first-mortgaged
air, in warm rooms, its votaries
win nave an important problem to
solve. In the meantime out camners
and dwellers will wear tho best aerated
blood in the land.
A farmer in St. Helena, Cat, raised
a 300 lb. pumpkin last season, which
he scraped out and uses the shell as
a kennel for hi3 big Newfoundland
dog.Exciaiife. Well, Mr. Ex
change, Prairie Farmer wants to
know why yon didn t make a better
stop' while you were about it; you
"might as well die for n sheep as a
lamb." Why, a man in Kansas wish
ing to start a new town at a railway
crossing, followed the directions of
this journal, and planted Hubbard
squash seeds where he wanted houses.
When ripe he cleaned out tho insides,
put in doors and windows, chambers,
floors and chimneys, with cellars in
the bottom, rented them to families
for dwellings, and sold the lots for
enough to invest $500,000 in govern
ment bonds, and with the snrplus
chnnge has gone to Europe with his
family. Fact, Stranger! -Prairie
Frrmer.
Maine has twenty-three lobster
canning establishments, which prac
tically control the industry in the
United States. The catch of lobsters
averages about 15,000,000 pounds
annunfly, something over one-half of
which is cauned. The Maine sardine
industry is worth $S25,000 a year.
The menhaden fishery .brought in

The editor of an Alkali paper set
