Geo. F. Tribou, a Portland pio neer and a well known contractor, a struck by a runaway team in that city last Thursday, receiving injuries from which he died in a few hours. The trial of Frank Clark, charged with burglary, attracted considerable interest yesterday evening. The pris oner was ably "defended by F. D. Win ton. The case went to the jury at eight o'clock. Mrs. C. B. Stearns, wire of D. IL Stearns, died at the family residence in Portland on the 21st inL Mr.". Stearns was the daughter of Mrs. A. S. Duuiway, andw:is a lady greatly loved and esteemed by her acquaint ances. The election of Mr. A. A. Cleveland as president of the council at the last meeting of that body, was a deserved recognition of that gentleman's abil ity as a chairman. Mr. Cleveland lias a thorough knowledge of parlia mentary rules and can always hold his own in debate. The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. IL C. Lord, who had been ill for several weeks, died yesterday morn ing. The stricken parents have the deep sympathy of their friends and acquaintances in their sad bereave ment The funeral will be from the family residence at two o'clock to morrow afternoon. The Canby miu3lrels are thorough ly appreciative of the kindly feeling evinced toward them by the citizens of Astoria, and wish to say that at any time if called upon to aid in any charitable entertainment or enterprise of kindred nature they will gladly cooperate and do all they cau to aid in the entertainment. The Tacoma Luhja; discussing the local option law just passed, says that the liquor licenses in Tacoma in 1S33 aggregated S15,32", and asks if the city can afford to lose that mnch money experimenting. That is a question for the Tacoma folks to de cide nest June. It is generally a good thing to let well enough alone. Among other laws passed at the special session of the Oregon parlia ment was one that provides that if a man loses money at a gambling game in this state, he can by law re cover twice the amount lost. This doublo discounts the usual percent age in favor of the game and makes it more profitable to blow in all one's earnings than to play in luck and break the bank. The more you put down, the more you pick up in court. To find a dry spot yesterday was like looking for a shadow in v. fog. Everything was wet. sodden and dumpish, the rain melted the snow and the snow held the rain in round pools of slush, through which men and horses squashed and splashed; school children left their shoes and waded crying back to gel them out. roofs leaked, half melted snow slit! with a heavy slump and choked the eaves which overflowed rain every where, and one individual who as he sprawled in the street exclaimed "darn such weather," expressed the exact sentiments of nearly every one who had to be out yestordav.

Nothing, he said, could exceed the patience of the Earl of Carnarvon in carrying out his mission of peace. The disease existed in Westminster and not in Ireland, and the govern ment must stamp it out. Words that Gladstone had declared were answer able for many Irish evils. Mr. Glad stone had not spoken, he said, with sufficient firmness concerning the in tegrity of the empire. In the English house of commons on the 21st Gladstone said he was convinced that only gentle and con ciliatory handling of the Irish ques tion would be effectual. He had al ways striven to eliminate elements of wrath and passion in discussing Ire land. The exercise of candor and justice could alone afford the smallest hope of solving the difficulty. "What ever." he continued, "it may Ik neces sary to do for Ireland should be done promptly. Iu the name of heaven, let us maintain the union. We have been maintaining it for eighty-five, yes, 000 years. Let us not deviate from the path of good temper and self-command, but. forgetful of prejudice, let us strive to do justice to the great, the gigantic interest committed to our charge.1' In the house of lords. Salisbury, the premier, said the gov ernment had refrained from renewing the crimes act because there had been a prospect of returning order in that country. The experiment, however, The Opium Sampler.?. It is very generally understood among the residents of Chinatown that the opium seized on the Idaho and at Carter bay was owned by one or two prominent Chinese firms in Victoria, Capt. Carroll and other offi cials only doing the dangerous work for a fat commission. Capt. Beecher is, no doubt, entitled to credit for following up the scent and bagging the game, but ho probably never would have "tumbled to" the game had it not been "given away" by a party in Victoria. The 'cook of the 1 dull o, who. with the carpenter, were arrested at Port Townsend, appeared before the polics court here in an assault case, which wa? dropped to day. ! trlorut Times; Jauitun lit.

B., the author says: The results I have obtained are these: Fish or colza oil only is of any good; it does not matter how dirty it is as long as at is not thick. Paraffin is too thin; paint oil too thick. Buu uing before a gale naturally expends much more oil than "laying to,'" you have so much more water to oil. Carefully expended, one quart in three hours for runuiug, one pint m four hours for laying to, will be suf ficient. The moans I nsed was a can vas bag (No. G) with holes stabbed with a needle. I have heard of a bundle of oakum being saturated with oil, and then put in a coarse gunny bag, which I thiuk would ad mit of a thicker oil being used for the time. The place for towing is un doubtedly forward, not aft. Wheth er in head-reaching oil could be used successfully I cannot say, but I doubt it. When running dead before the wind, tow from each cathead, and the ship is as safe as auylhing can be at sea. The Dement Mutate. The will of W. C. Dement, deceased, who left property valued at 03,500, has been filed for probate. Edward D. and J. D. Dement, brothers of the deceased, and AT. Johnson arc named in tlie will as executors. Property belonging to tha estate valued at 818,000 is bituated in this state and and the remainder is in Oregon. The will leaves all the real property to the widow of deceasd and provides that the children shall each receive S.1,000 when they become of age. V. J f'fifJ)lirhPi. The Xominal Governors or 3Iexiro Mexico is nominally governed by a Congress, first called" September 14, 1S13, which has probably seen as many vicissitudes as any" assembly on earth has ever seen in the same time. It has been chased here and there, dissolved, expelled, recalled and remodeled, until it has finally settled down into an established in stitution. It now consists of a Sen ate of about sixty members, which meets in a room in the National Pal ace, and a Chamber of Deputies of some 220 members, which meets in the old Theater of Iturbide, over half a mile from the National 1'alace. In appearance this Congress could hardly be distinguished from that of the United States. Fully nine-tenths of its members are of pure white blood, and the other tenth have no more color than fashion demands of a stylish brunette. No traces of rusticity, coarseness, ignorance or stupidity are visible, nor is there any sign of what is generally known as military costume. Both bodies are composed of eminent soldiers, scholars, lawyers, and members of other professions, with young men whose talents hae attracted notice; and the iiumjiIht-s hwa decree !" p ' j!if - and li -tiiiy ;b..t .o.ill ha: ti t- i.j..,:. o our Male l.'ui-!:i-..

What wo joshed auddecned at the twi light's last gleaming? That red flag Sergeant Griftin had placed on tho height Of tho Knight' Casllo building, in scar let folus streaming. Through tho oil lamps' dim glare, the snow sailing in air, Came proof through the uigtit that that flag was still there. Oh, say does that auction sign still flap in air O'er the snow and the slush and the slip ami the swear? On that roof set on high by great Glass ford's command, Waved that flag as a signal of storm's diro disaster Where the waves wildly surged on this northern strand, And the wind sweeping eastward caae faster and faster. San Francisco says "Dp." and that flag most be raised, Nor ne'er cau be lowered till the signal corps say so, And that red flannel ensign the Chinese has dazed Till they think that Tacoma has ordered their way so. At the cape dimly seen through the mists of the dee) Where friend Kairns when off duty some times reposes, What is that which the breeze on Cape Hancock's bold steep As it fitfully blows half conceals, half discloses? Now it gleams through the steam of tho tugs in the stream, Now reflects to thu pilots the sun's fitful beam; 'Tis the storm flag that luridly floats o'er the wave, Oh long may its wavingsthe sailors' lives save. ir.S Fl'.N.W WIIK.N YOU FEKL THAT WAY. JIv feet are dancing to the song, i My happy heart is singing, The'sand seems strewed with diamond gems. And sweetest birds arc singing.

Jjast night he whispered in my ear Snch words of Iovo and madness, 3fy heart to-day is carried up To hights of glorious gladnesd. And oh! 1 can not help it. I've seen ten thousand burning eyos, Hat his are brightest of them all; His tones make sweeter music far Thau those celestial harps let fall. My heart is singing in response. iMy blush tho talo is telling With wild, delicious ecstasy liy very soul is swelling. Last niglit I heard tho first mad word3 Of love, that glowing, passion thing: My senses reel my heart will bursj, Mv feet will dance, my lips will sfng. Bacause I can not help it. And oh. sach wordj of Iovo ho spoke The first I'd ever heard: They changed me :istht charmer doe; The tranced, flattering bird. The l'aphinn goddess never felt A love so rich and warm As thrilled my soul and swept my heart At loves tempestuous storm. The stars were out and all aglow (Scenes of bliss about mo swim).

Marshall, pay mas ter of the I'.oott corporation, has in bis possession a leaf from the mani fest of the ilnlish ship William and -Ihhc, which uas captured by one of Paul Jones' cruisers. It bears the date Noemb'.r 27, 177S, and a do.en or more small entries of articles con signed to persons, presumably Tories, on this side of the water. The prices charged against these articles, in pounds, shillings, and pence, make one open his eyes and recollect sto ries about the price; which the early California miners had to pay for pro visions. A few of the prices are given, reduced to United States meney: Flour, ?lo0 a barrel; pork, $100 a barrel : peas, $12 a bushel; rum, $i: a gallen: butter, $1.2o a pound. This leaf is slightly discol ored with age, but is remarkably well preserved. Lowell (Mass.) Citizen. A Great Ilor.sebaek Itule.
