It is reported iu Odessa that the

deh to Russia, and is now negotiating
for cession of Herat.
The Victoria Colonist contains a
proclamation by the authorities in
forming all deserters from her majes
ty's navy that if they will re-enlist no
notice will be token of their past
transgression.
A postal card was received at the
sheriff's office, Buffalo, the other day,
giTing the particulars of the escape
of prisoners from the Jackson, Mich.,
penitentiary, and addressed to 4'Gro

A suit has been brought in the

Tnn Druggist's Circular says that
the essentials of a healthy homo are
dryness, plenty of sunlight, an abun
dance of pure water, pure air and
cleanliness ecerywhere. "These
things copt money:" but aro not fun
erals expensive.
The funds were placed to the credit
of citizens of Great Britain and Franco
who were friendly to tho south. At
the close of the war there was an un
expended balance of 5,030.000. Ben
jamin consulted with these agents as
to the disposition of the money and it
was agreed that it should be surren
dered to the United States. The ques
tion was then how to disburse tho
money so as to benefit those who
were entitled to it It was concluded
that those who hod given their means
to the confederacy for its bonds were
entitled to the money, and bonds
were advertised for, and to cover the
real object of the movement it was
hinted that the bonds were to be held
by speculators and that suit was to
instituted against the United States
for their payment.

that an enterprising New Yorker has
made the O. & G. It. B. Co. a propo

The News says that a 3Jadrid jour
nal, colled the Correspondencia, is pe
culiar in its way. It has the largest
circulation of any paper in the capi
tal, reaching from 200,000 to 300,000
a day. It has no editor, but a dozen
wide awake reporters, who scour the
town for every kind of information.
They come to the office and drop
their manuscripts in a bag, and there
they stay until tho foreman wants
copy. Every thing is then thrown
into the forms without regard to or
der or anything else, and the paper
is read from end to end in Fpite of the
fact That's a capital idea! Xo per
sonal or impersonal responsibility.

Tnc question which is agitating
the minds of tho Viotorians just now,
says tho Seattle Chronicle, is whether
coal is contraband of war. They fear
that if a Russian fleet comes into

tho Americans, unless the latter be
prevented therefrom by coal being
declared a contraband article.

Oob state exchanges are still dis
cussing the last legislature. At the
risk of saying something original,
The Astobiax suggests that next
time it might be well to send some
thing less than ninety candidates for
U. S. senator to represent us at
Salem. A legislator is one thing; a
candidate for senator is another, and
an attempt to unito the two in one
thing or man, is disastrous to all con
cerned .
It is stated in San Francisco jour
nals that the Northern Pacific people
are contemplating seriously of put
ting a line of steamers on the Co
lumbia river, between "Wallula Junc
tion andPortland.withportagesatThe
Dalles and the Cascades; in other
words, re-establishing the line of tho
old O. S. N. Co. The line is to be prin
pally for freight traffic. This an
nouncement is considered by some
railroad men as a "bluff" to secure
better terms for the proposed lease
of the O. B. & N. Company's property.
