OREGON: THURSDAY -JANUARY 7. 1SSC Patrick Egax claini3 to have sent 80,000 to Parncll from the United States. For the first time in the history of the United States there is not a single Smith in congress. Eastern Iowa farmers send $4 to pay freight on an organ and reoeive in return a 10-cent mouth organ. The immigration from Ireland is at a perfect standstill. The people there are in high hopes since the election. The election of officers in New York city cost the taxpayers $142,320. The other expenses at tending an election make up a total of $300,000. The Eugene City Guard says that Senator "Weatherford, of Al bany, is talked of as the Demo cratic candidate for governor at the coming election. Wade Hampton's bill making it a misdemeanor lor congressmen and senators to influence appoint ments is referredto SS a measure to drive-.he nolitieians nut of nnl. itics. "Britannia rules the waves," but she has to pay the freight. There is not a day in the year which does not record the loss of some British vessel with all its crew. Benjamin Louth, of Pittsburg, the inventor of a process for turn ing old steel rails into nail plate, sold his right to a syndicate for $300 per day for the next sixteen years. A New York man had his wife arrested for carrying a concealed weapon. In court it was shown that she was in the habit of taking off her wooden leg and beating him with it. It is said on alleged respectable authority that more than half a million pounds of willow leaf were shipped from Shanghai last year as green tea- a large proportion of it coming to America. The receipts of flaxseed in Chi-' cago during the last month reached the astounding aggregate of 1,857, 000 bushels of 5ti pounds each, and during one week the receipts of seed exceeded those of wheat. A notice of dissolution of part nership lately published in a Minne sota paper stated that the dissolu tion was by mutual consent, and added that the reason therefor was that one of the partners was "too lazy to continue the business." ' ! I The last words of the dying great are generally regarded as significant of something, and obliging bystanders are frequently obliging enough to make such lit tle alterations and amend.neMts as may be needed to make them ef fective. But what will they make of General Toombs' last vords, "Lend me one hundred dollars?" The police of Vincennes, Ltd., are not models in their profession. On the night of the 22nd of December, the mayor and a com mittee of the council made a tour of the city to see if the police were "on deck." One of the force was found at home in bed, another was drunk, a th:rd was in a house of ill-fame and the fourth was asleep in a saloon. The whole force was thus accounted for. It is very kind of the Republi can senators in congress to defend the president's financial policy and upheld "Wall street, but if the Re publican party is going to be com mitted to the defense of "Wall fcreer, of the national banks and the land-holders against the peo ple, there won't be much of the Republican party left at tho next national election. Andrew Jack ton was just as right in 1835 as Grorer Cleveland is wrong in 1886. The people won then and What is needed in the way of amendment of existing govern mental arrangements almost as much as the better regulation of presidential succession, is some provision by which the organiza tion of a new congress shall be effected immediately upon the be gining of its legal term. As mat ters now are, a congress does not meet in regular session till full a year after it is elected. This is an utterly absurd condition, aodithas more than once been the occasion of embarrassments and exasperations. Money io Loan o ,N APPROVED SECURITY. COUNTY uraers oougnt.
