He cut two teeth last week Tie difference between an original newspaper and one made np o re print is that one sajs what others quote, and the other quotes what others say. From California comes a report that Stanford of that state expects to be nominated at Chicago. The idea is too ridicnlou? for belief. With either Stanford or Depew on the Re publican ticket it would be beaten worse than the Democratic candidate for congress in this state was on the 4th inst. Tun San Francisco Examiner says that congressman Hermann of this state, is "inebriated." "Inebriated" is high English for Mruuk' Tho Ex aminer is as badly mistaken in this as in other things. Though if Ilor mauu was that kind of a man ho has excellent excuse. It is not even- day that a congressman is chosen to rep resent an entire commonwealth by a practically unanimous vote. A school for "journalists" is the latest fad in Boston. For a modest stipend a professor will teach young men and maids how to become "jour nalists." Journalists can be thus manufactured, bnt newspaper men cannot. The best school for newspa per men is for the jonth at tho ago of twelve, having learned all that he can in school, to take a small frame of thin iron and under competent in stmction in a well regulated print shop stick type into that iron rectan gle C3 directed, aud afterwards, when permitted, write an acconnt of things seen, in small English words, tho smaller the better, aud aim at all times to bo the first one to tell the trntlj. From this school the most of the newspaper men aud tho fewest of tho 'journalists" have graduated. Tins morning's dispatches tell of new troubles befalling, the hapless dwellers of the northern Mississippi valley. Last summer they had a drought, and wore almost"! baked. Last winter came a blizzard that froze people in their beds: last spring camo a cyclone that blew people into eter nity aud leveled several towns; last mouth came a flood that drowned the stock and ruined tho stock men, and now comes a plague of locusts to cat whatever the drought and the blizzard and tho cy clone and the flood had spared. That is certainly a good country to emi grate from, audit the luckless deni zens of that I region' waut to" live i peace and plenty let them come to Oregon where there are none of the the disagreeable phases of nature, where peace and prosperity await willing workers and where as sure as the'day follows the night abundant harvest and fruitful soil unvexed by disaster,. icld sustenance to all. Tnnnn is no tree that is so surr to grow without any care as tho.willow. A twig from a branch of a tree stuck into the moist earth, and tho labor is completed. An article in a German coteniporary, which is a great author ity, recommends the cultivation of willow trees, not only from an econom ical and industrial" point of view, but also for hygienic purposes. They are especially useful where the drinking water is taken from fountains or nat ural wells, and still more where there arc morasses and meadows, for in the weinity of willow trees water is al- wajs clean and pnre. Let those who doubt this fact placo a piece of willow which has not yet begun to strike, in to a bottle of water, and placo this within another bottle containing wa ter only, in a warm room, for eight days. - In tthe first bottlo will be found shoots and rootlets in clear water, while tho other bottle will con tain pntrifying water. Holland is covered with willows, and their dam works arc made stronger by the net work formed by the roots. Complaints are reaching tho treas ury department from northern Idaho, with regard to tho large importations being made there of lead ore from the British dominion. Extensive mines of galena have been found on the line of the Canadian Pacific road, and it is being brought across tho border into Idaho to be reduced. The complaint sajs that the ore is of ex traordinary fineness, running as high as CO per cent of lead, and with some silver deposits. It is coming into competition with the productions of the mines of Idaho, and the com plaint is based upon that ground. The treasury department is uncertain what position to take upon tho ques tion. Silver ores are admitted free of duty, audit is claimed that if this ga lena is found to contain silver enough to make it the component of chief value in these ores, the duty could not bo charged upon it. Tho recom mendation has been made to the de partment that a government official should bo stationed on tho border to intercept this product and see that it pay the proper rate of duty. The de partment will probably make an in vestigation of tho matter. Complaint has also been mado that the same things occurs on the Mexican border. AFTER FLOODS AND BLIZZARDS Ocaes the Plague of Locusts. (SPECIAL. TO THE ASTOE1AX.) CniCAGO. June 13. A dispatch from Emporia, Kansas, soys a portion of the Texas delegation to the Chicago convention passing through thi3 citv to-day were interviewed as to their preferences, n. (J. and C. M. Fergu son, delegates at large, declared a warm preference for Gresham, and thought the entire delegation would vote solidly for him. WHAT NEXT.'! Chicago, June 13. Dispatches from points in Iowa and Illinois state that millions of locusts aro making their appearance. They aro doing little damage as yet be.ond killing the young and tender trees. Opin ions differ as to whether they are the seventeen year variety or not. VALUABLE STOCK. New York, Juno 13.

A Pittsburg dispatch says that chairman Jones of tho Republican national committee has in his possession a third letter which ho has just received from Jas, G. Blaine who is now in Scotland and which is to be read upon the assem bling of tho national convention at Chicago, next Tuesday. In it Blaine states most emphatically that he will not allow the use of his name in the convention and that he would not ac cept the nomination though it were tendered to him unanimously. Jones arrived uere tins morning bnt would neither deny nor corrob orate the story. Flannel Dresses. The flannel dresses are very pretty this season, and follow the general tendency in the absence of accessor iesthat is, of superflons mounting, trimming and the like. They consist of nothing but flannel, plain and striped; but tho plain with striped vest is better wear than the all stripe, because less conspicuous and the more permanent The model is more conventionalized than is necessary. The pointed basque fits snugly enough for an evening bodice. But this is French style. Instead of this close fit and outline, the waist may be cut full, as a blouse, unlined, and gathered into a belt. The vest and falling collar, the latter cut very deep and square at the back, should be copied as they are. The severe lino around the neck, without any relief of linen or lace, requires a fair, round throat and youthful freshness as its complement; it is then extremely be coming. The fullness of tho waist is simply laid in folds to shape it into a cuff, and tho folds stitched down. Pinking is revived this season, and is used in charming ways to give n ruf fled effect to tho edge of dresses that is, to the foot of tho skirt, not the drapery, which is more elegant if plain than when trimmed. Reducing: the Surnlus. The disposition ot the Surplus in the u.o. ncajuij uiiKiiKes uiu auciuion OI our Statesmen, but a more vital question has our attention, and that is the reduc tion of the Surplus Consumptives. Since the discovery and introduction of I)r. King's New Discovery for Consump tion, there has been a marked decrease in the mortality from this dreaded dis ease, and it Is possible to still further re duce tho number of Consumptttes. Uow? By keeping constantly at hand a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery, and using according to directions, upon the appearance of the first symptoms, such as a Cough, a Cold, a Sore Throat a Chest or Side Pain.
