Acookdixh io a Washington die patch Democrats of Oregon repre sent to the President that they caD carry the next legislature, and thus seen re a senator to fill out the term no? vacant, because of the neglect to choose a successor to Slater, if the administration trill oust federal offi cials who make up of their places for political ends. It has been submit ted to the president that seven fed eral officials of Portland dominate the Republican politics of that state; that they control the ma chine, and are now laboring in behalf of 'the Eepubl'can par ty. It is charged that the arbitrary rule of this clique of officials really caused the the breach in the Repub lican party vbich prevented the elec tion of a Fenator last winter. The president has been advised also that Portland federal officials arc now en deavoring to persuade Governor Moody to convene the legislature in special session for the sole purpose of another effort to force in the bolt ers and elect a senator, but the gov ernor refuses to i-suo a call, unless an agreement is entered into before hand that a senator shall be chosen. Democrats contend that the re- moval of objectionable federal office holders will give them a fair chance in the next election, and that with Buch a chance they can carry ll.eles islature. The president has request ed that the charges against the offi cials complained of be put in writing, with details of iLeir interference in elections, sut2 it is the purpose of Democrats of Oregon to comply with this requcbt. When science was in its iufaucv, much of ita fact was mixed with non sense, and sn of taj nonsense shows a won Jeriul vitality. A case in point is the republication of a non sensical bit that was current at least 4.0 years ago. It is a recipe for cutting glass with shears or scissors. The state ment is that sheet glass can be cut with the greatest ease with a pair of scissors if thcglas is kept under water and kept in a level position. That there is not a word mot truth in it any one may easily prove on a trial, with the result of dulling a pair of shears. There is one cutting process that can be dona better under water; that is the paring of onions. When pared under wafer the acrid emanations, so uup'e sant to the mucous membrane of eyes and nose, are dissolved when held under water. But neither the qi & iiy of gla-js nor the power of scissors is clune J by i-n.nersion In water. Chables Mitchelij, who died in Bjstou la'e.y, s said to have been the first packer of canned goods in the United Stales. He was born in Abjrdem, Scotlaud, in 1810. In early life he learned the trade of tin smith in Aberdeen, and became fore man of a canning establishment, a business then in its infancy. In May, 1811, Mr. Mitchell came to Hal .ifax, N. S., to superintend a canning and preserving establishment The next year he removed to Eastport, Me., where he connected himself with a house engaged in tho canning busi ness. Subsequently be removed to Boston where be continued in the eame business until his decease. The following statistics will show what a wonderful fishing center the town of Gloucester, Mass., is. Tho aaaount of fish landed at Ibis port daring the month of October, 1881, was as follews: Codfish from George's Bank, 2,870,000 pounds; hal ibnt from George's Bank, 13,200 pounds; fish caught on tho Cape shore, Nova Scotia, 5SO,000; codfish from Gr t1 B i i cs. 1.37J.0JJ; pjuu Js s.

A Lok jk j( u iial st ilea that most of the leading financiers of Berlin are up to their eves in Bnssian bonds and it is clearly recognized by those who know ?ai inside track of the Berlin b up'1, that a war between Ris-via iaEagl.tnd would be fol lowed by a catastrophe on the largest scale in Berlin. The German financier therefore, will move heaven and earth to square tho difference nb ut Penj deh. Chief Judiics Greene of "Wash ington territory, seems to have rather an esalted idea of the extent of the jurisdiction of his office. He threat ens to suspend the publication of the Seattle Da ily Chronicle nnless the owners discharge tho editor, against whom ho appears to have a personal Oolite. The latest concerning Grant is that a probability exists of his recovery. He is battling with diseasoin its most malignant form, but proposes to fight it out on that line if it takes all summer. That alwavs was Grant's wav. TnE Tacoma Keics Jearns that one million dollars has been set aside bj the Northern Pacific railroad com pany for the purpose of pushing the tunnel through the Cascade unui taius with the utmost expedition. Ths Pacific Mail steamers intend to protect themselves against banditti raids at ths isthmus. Eeach vessel will carry four pieces of ordnance, two heavy guns in the bow and a Gat limj in tfach quarter. Some color is given the report that the Central Pacific railroad c impnny will soon begin work on the 150 miles of unfinished track that lie between Delta, California, and Ashland in this state. The Walla Walla Union has been sued for libel by some one who pos s.bly does not understand the differ ence between definition and defama tion of character. Asiatic cholera has broken out in Spain; all the European governments ;.ro quarantining vessels arriving from Spanish ports. Gen. WoLESLEr says he has no idea of abandoning his intention of cap- turo Khartoum in the autumn. Up country papers are still talking about the failure of the legislature to elect a benator, last winter. Thbee trains per week are now ruu uing on the Oregon Pacific between Corvallis and Taquina bay. NEW TO-DAY. Notice.

The threatened Knsso-Afghan war brings into prominence uen. a. iuima- roff, the Bnssian governor-general of il e trans-Caspian provinces, for to him is the striking of the first blow lo be assigned. Following closely upon tho statements of a desire for peace, on tho part of Russia, camo the news of tho fail of Penjdeh. and tho whole English world is aroused to the necessity of immediate action. General Kouiaroff, in his official state intnt, reports that in consequence of provocative and manifestly hostile pro ceedings on tho part of the Afghans, ho was compelled to attack them on tue 3uth of Mnrob on both sides of the Kushli river. The result was tho defeat of tne Afghans with tho loss of 500 men, all ineir artillery, two siauunrub nuu iiieir entire camp and previsions.
