I ay FijP“ ▼U. I î-_ /*.. — A.. %f.A. » Northern Negro Burning. Ohio burnt a negro nt the stak«- not h year since, and no» llliuois fol low« suit. W. T. Wyatt, a negro school teacher, shot »nd fatally wounded the county school superin tendent of St. Clair county at Bell vilie, Friday night for refusing to re new his tenehering certificate. The negro was arrested, but a mob took him from the officer und banged him to a telephone pole iu the pub lie square. Even while bis body was jerking in the throes of death from strangulation, mem iters of the mob began building a fire nt the foot of the pole. Tbe flames flared up and licked at tbe feet of tbe victim,, but this di<i not satisfy the mob, aud another aud larger fire was started. When it was burning briskly the negro, still half alive, was cut down and after being covered with coal oil, was thrust into the fire. Moans of pain were heard from the half dead victim of the mob, and tin o icrvcd to infuriate further his torturers. They fell upon him with clubs and knives, cut nodi eat the sei sebss being almost to pieces, and not until every sigu of life had depart'd did they desist and permit the llnim s to devour tbe body. As the fire lighted up the scene tbe members of the mob stood around tbe tiro hurling more fagots of wood i.itu tbe flames and denounc ing the i ■ no for the shoo ing. Atti r i ueb an exhibition of ferocity wuo will say that it is not more probable that man lias lieeli evolved from a condition of life i pproccldug the brute,rather than that he came to full being endowed with the loving attributes of his creator? Turn the I teat handled and broken cow or horse loose in the woods alone for a few months, it goes back to something of the condition of its ancestors of a thousand years ago. And man has the savage instincts of bis bar barian ancestors. They arc not dead, only slumbering, (liven the occasion and opportunity, the latent savagery of centuries dominates bis being. Oregon Cities Growing. (Portland Evening Telegram.) Judged by any test that may be, applied, it may be discovered and proved that the population and busi ness of Portland is not only steadily but rapidly increasing. One sure proof of thia gratifying fact is the increase in the business of the Port land postottlce, on account of which the salary of the postmaster will be increased on July 1st from #;kXX) to •11700 a year. Not only is the Imsi news of the Portland office growing year by year and month by month, but that of other and su.llci Oregoi cities is also increasing. They ar< keeping pace with the m< ropolis. am showing that the «level ipiuent ami upbuilding of Oregon is genera’ throughout the state.

Thia does uotmean that other prom inent aud thriving cities like llaki r City, La Grande, Astoria ami Albany, are not growing too; only that their postottlce receipts do not quite jus tlfy the increase at this time. But all Oregon towns are growing right alinig. and they are doing so because tbe country surrounding them is liv ing developed, because population ami products are increasing, liecausv Oregon, "with her own wings,** is constantly rising to a higher and broader flight. George Smith, the colored mur derer of his white wife, went to his death on the »catfold al Portland Fri day without tb'i least sign of emo- tlou or fear. And the color of bis «klu prevented any pallor being noticeable.
