John Van Huron.
Hid grave in on an eminence near tlia
foregrounds nf tho cemetery. His mon
ument, which is of marble, is surmount
1 by a beautiful cross, entwined with
carved vino in imitation of ivy. Princo
John, as ho was generally called, it is
"woll-known, made a tour of Europe in
18(50, and died while on his voyage home
ward. At tho time of his decease he was
in tho fifty-sixth year of his ago. As a
political speaker ho had no suiorior per
haps in this country, as many yet living
can testify who hoard his eloquent ad
dresses in the Presidential campaign of
1848. llis talents, it is wvll known, wore
of tho very highest order. As an advo
cate he had fow equals in tho State. The
versatality of his powers, his keen irony,
his brilliant, ready and often caustic wit,
his unfailing good humor, his perfect
wolf-possession, his remarkable quickness
of iicrcoption, and his extensive and in
timate acquaintance with established
legal principles, rendered him a formid
able advocate at tho circuit.
As might 1m exjMctel he was a skillful
cross-oxamitior of wituesics, and a cor
rupt or unwilling witness had much to
fear when Hubjecknl to the ordeal of a
cross-examination by Mr. Van Bnren. A
caiuo of much importance was pending
in ono of tiie Circuit Courts of this State
about a quarter of a century ago, at the
trial of which I was present. On that
occasion Mr. Van Bnren exhibited much
skill in his cross oxamiuation of the wit
nesses, and in his treatment of their tes
timony before tho jury. Tho leading
connsel opposed was that giant of the
bar, Joshua A. Siwncer, who was then
in the stoniUi of his fame; a man of a
very dignided presence and tho most
courteous manners, ami nn advocate of
tho moat commanding and ersuasivc
eloquence. The plaiutifi had instituted
legal proceeding to le placed in the
possession of certain lauds, claiming title
under a deed which the defendant al
legfld was fraudulently obtained from
the grantor naniod iu the conveyance
34r. Van Buren ww counsel for the de
fendant. A witness by the name of
M&chin, called by Mr. SiKncer, the
plaintiff's counsel, in do certain fetate
iBeuta which, if believed by the jury,
woald 1m fatal to the defense. The
jary, however, disagrtvd. At the snl
sequont trial, Machin, who hal been
cross-examined with great rigor by Mr.
Van Bnren on the first trial of tho cause,
did not make his apcarauce; but a man
by tho name of Simpscr was called to
supply his place. The new witness was
noverely handled by Mr. Van Bnren,
and during his cross-oxaminatiou, which
was extended to a very great length,
lio drank water both frequently and
copiously. Prince John disosed "of the
new witness in this brief and ad riot way
in his address to tho jury; "You luno
all, gentlemen, doubtless heard the for
mer trial of this cause ; and all whom
have heard of that trial liave heard of
Machin ; and all whom have heard of
Machin have heard of his sufferings,
death and burial on that occasion ; and
now from tho grave of Machin has sud
denly sprung the witness Simpser, and
heaven knows there never was a plant
that needed so much training and
water imj,"
Tho effect of these words was wonder
f al. No words certainly could have been
saoro adrioitly spoken, or could liave
been more effectual iu awakening suspi
cion, in the minds of tho jurors, of the
integrity both of plaintiff and "witness.
I hero give no opinion as to the merits of
the canso or the integrity of the witness;
and have merely stated facts as they
occurred.
It was my purpose, mainly in this arti
cle to furnish somo reminiscences of the
three distinguished lawyers whose graves
in tho Bund Cemetorv 1 hml recently
visited ; and having done this I must
bring it to a close. It is possible that in
what I havo written I have fallen into
aomo anachronisms ainl errors of opinion;
but I have aimed to bo correct in my
ntotomenU and faithful in tho character
isation of uion whoso commanding talents
excited my admiration ; and to whose
memories, now that they are no more, I
would pay that tribnto of resject ever
duo to Uiose who leave behind them an
honorable record, and achieve for them
solves an unviable fame.
But, after all, how little is known by
mankind generally of tho able juriscou
mtlt, now no more, who even less than
Juilf a century ago swayed the minds of
learned judges on tho bunch by the force
of hia reasonings and the vastneas of his
legal erudition I The scanty memorials
of ui -genius and learning aro now only
to l found in tho volumes of reported
eases to which fow but tho members of
the legal profession havo access; and
lMw Ifttlo also, after tho lapse of tho
mu4 number of years, is rouiembered of

While residing in Floroueo, Italy, Mrs.
Uoyt purchased a painting, and "after it
had l)een in her possession somo timo
discoverod that tho picture alio hod
bought was merely a cover to a real work
of art, which was painted underneath it.
The outer picture was rubbed off, and a
now picture, entitled David and Goliath
was found in nn oxcellent state of preser
vation. Tho picture bears tho marks of
Baphael's brush, and is said by foreign
painters to bo the work of that great
master. Our readers should not miss
seeing it, as aside from its lino history, it
is a work of great merit. Mr. Shanahan
also shows a fino picture of Charlotte
Corday, lelonging to Mayor Thompson's
collection, v Inch is attracting much at
tention. One thousand dollars havo boon
refused for this picture. Mr. Shanahan
shows a nnmlwr of Clyde Cook's pic
tures, among which we notice "Mt.
Tacoma," "Snoqualmio Falls," " Mt.
Hood," "Head of tho Dalles," a view of
tho Cascades, and two small fishing
scones on the Columbia. Mr. Shanahan
has shown commendable enterprise in
his display and it is worthy of examina
tion. Mil, O. XniMEYElt
Has on exhibition in tho south gallery,
near the east end, a tino display of tailor
work of tho latest styles and most elegant
finish. His work will War the closest
inspection in respect to cutting, making
and in the material used. Mr. Xeimeyer
asks a comparison of his work with any
made up iu San Francisco. Now is a
favorable opportunity to make the com
parison. Toko a look at the goods, the
linings, the trimmings, tho button-holes,
tho pockets, and everything that goes to
make up the man's furnishing, and
see if Portland cannot beat the
world in superiority in all these respects.
Mr. Neimeyer's place of business is at
No. i'J First street, and who want the
best of work and stock would do ell to
see him.
THE DAVIS SEWING MACHINE.
The new general agent, Mr. J. F. Mc
Intosch, has a large space filled with
different styles of tho Davis Sowing Ma
chines near the east end of the gallery.
The Davis is speedily coming to the
front as one of the leading machines, and
it is Mr. Mclntosch's intention to push
the machine into prominence in this
State. Ho shows samples of work done
with an ordinary cambric needle which
shows the adaptability of the machine to
all kinds of work The samples run
from work done on a cigar box
cover, thence to two thicknesses
of ilaunel and from that to five thick
nesses and then dowu a slitting scale of
different grades to a single thickness of
muslin and a piece of tissue jwper with
out onoe stopping the machine. The
mechanical principles involved in tho
Davis sewing machine aro new, and dif
fer widely from those commonly in use
combining simplicity, strength, dura
bility, economy, and an adaptation to a
large range of work. One thousand dol
lars will bo (riven to anv lwrson. who
will with anv under-fed machine, follow
The Davis through its great range of
practical work, while "Tho Davis" is
preiared to follow any other shuttle ma
chine in its range of work either for fun
or coin. They challenge the world to pro
duce its equal for any and all kinds of
work, and guarantoe'to keep in rejKiir for
five years all machines sold. The Davis
Company is one of tho wealthiest in the
sowing machine trade. It is backed by
inen of heavy capital, and in the coming
break of small machine companies which
is bound ere long to ensue through the
immense competition, the Davis will be
thp last to go to the wall. Since the or
ganization of this Company in
the year 1808, its businesss has in
creased to an extent unknown in the trade
The Davis obtained tho first premium at
the Oregon State Fair this year. The
Pacific Coast general agency is at 1H0
Post street, San Francisco. We under
stand that Mr. Mclntosch will open an
office in Portland after the close of the
fair.
IlfENA VISTA rOTTEIlY.
Mr. A. M. Smith, the proprietor of tho
Buena Vista Pottery, 1ms a large space
near the west entrance devoted to show

to-day has a large trade and extensive i Turkish
grounds. He lias works now to the terial

OI.D8 A BUMMERS.
The more than usually attractive dis
play of lamps, glassware, oils, crockory
ornaments, etc., made by this firm do
mnnds more lengthy notices than the
brief mention previously received by tho
proprietors. Tho pyramidal structure
upon which their wares aro displayed is
neatly framed and tho collection of
rarely beautiful tilings filling every shelf
commands the immediate attention of
siiectators as soon as they havo passed
tho Pavilion s threshold. Other exhibi
tors in different lines of trade may havo
more space, but uono nre outitW to
more pains for tho care taken and at
tractiveness of the whole display. Tho
activity manifested by these young men
show them to bo active, enterprising fel
lows, whose energy and perspicacity are
indicative of business success. Tho "pub
lic is far-sighted, and recognizing
these qualities, as well as the excellence
and cheapness of their merchandise, tho
people throng to thoir store to purchase
what they can rely on as durable and
worth the purchase money. No store iu
tho city is more attractively furnished
than tliat over which Messrs. Olds ,fc
Summers preside on First street, near
Yamhill. In addition to the many other
valuable articles thoy expose at the fair.
is a night lamp that is a perfect gem,
and invaluable to housekeepers. Inval
ids accept it as a blessing. It gives a
pure, clear light, and emits no disagree
able odor, an annoyance that becomes
unbearable to sick "persons. They sell
an immense number of these lamps, and
the side is daily increasing.
HAltVEV's HOT WATEH SYSTEM.
In the department devoted to ma
chinery Mr. C. D. Harvey, of Oakland,
shows some hot water radiators and heat
ing apparatus, which should receivo at
tention from every person who is inter
ested in heating their building. Mr.
Harvey, the lmtenteo, who is in attend
ance at the lair, claims that tho advan
tages of the hot water system as used bv
him are, first, a mild, pleasant and uni
form temperature; second, economy of
fuel; third, simplicity in its construction
and operation; fourth, durability; fifth,
less danger from fire; sixth, cleanliness
and freedom from dust and dirt. Tho
hot water radiator can bo used in con
nection with the ordinary cooking range,
warming one room from" tho same with
out any extra fuel loing required. Also,
with the open grate, warming three
rooms with the ordinary f uol of one fire.
Also, with tho water stove, warming five
or six rooms with the ordinary fuel of
ono grate giving a mild, "uniform,
healthful atmosphere, free of dry
heat or poisonous gas of the air
tight stoves or hot-air furnaces.
Though Mr. Harvey has had the system
introduced but two years, ho has placed
it in tho County Hospital, at Sacramento,
heating ten rooms TOx'i'J, and four rooms
10x20, and supplying water for 2U bath
rooms. It is also in use ut the free read
ing room at Oakland, the Poston Semi
nary, Oakland, and in many of the resi
dences of such men as Rev. J. K. McLean,
A. J. Ralston, .7. West Martin. Noah
Kelsey and other prominent CaliforJ
nians in every instance giving per
fect satisfaction. Hero in Portland
Mr. Harvey is placing his radiators in
the Harrison Street School House, J. K.
Gill's now residence, and ,T. Donneburg's,
and will contract for a number of others
in the next few days. We would advise
our readers to examine this system while
at the fair, and obtain Mr. Harvey's ex
planation of its merits.

J. II. t'ONOMS'H VlHVVX-i,
nnor Hia mo it useful and attractive
displays iu tho whole pavilion is made
by Mr. J. B, Congle iu Uio northwest J
conior of tho gallory, It consists of all
kinds of leather, harness in single and
douhlo sots, plain and richly mounted;
ladies' saddles, gentlemen's saddles, and
nil sorts of saddlery goods, that for dura
bility of material and excellencoof work
manship cannot bo beaten in any manu
factory in tho nation. There are many
objects in this exhibit that excite admira
tion, and farmers, as veil as business
men and owners of horses, constantly
throng tlio space, examining and com
menting freely on tho very hand
somo work, which shows conclu
sively tho skill of tho mechanics
that fashioned and brought it to
audi perfection. Whore there are
so mauy useful things worthy of special
mention it is dilllcult to discriminate, yet
we cannot iiass without a few words in
favor of a Mexican saddle which is onlva
sample of tho many manufactured at Mr.
Congle s establishment, No. 110 Front
street. It is handsomely stamped
throughout and so deeply are the figures
imprinted on tho well 'tanned skirting
that they will remain as long as tho
leather lasts. Tho mounting is decidedly
neat, and the finish in every sense supe
rior. Theso articles nre in no sense man
ufactured for show, but v ore made for
hard solid work and can bo duplicated to
any extent by those who may desire sad
dles as serviceable as ornamental. Eng
ish, California and Kentucky saddles.
and in fact saddles of all sorts are shown
so that tho most critical can find
ono suitable to his taste and style.
Special care is taken with tho trees,
which aro formed so ns to fit the body
easily and comfortably, forming a soiit
that for convenience in riding has never
boon excelled. Great pains havo been
taken to provide riding furniture that
will please the ladies, and the side-saddles
made for their use aro both varied
and beautiful. Double and three-horned
specimens, neat and richly quilted, are
exhibited, and these nre sure to attract
all of tho fair sex noted for their love of
equestrian exercise. K niii atten
tion is culled to the nickel plated, silver
mounted, gold lined and rubber mounted
sots of carriage and buggy harness. Any
ono of these kinds is a gem and admired
by horse-men, who desire to havo their
proud steeds handsomely caparisoned.
Tho figures in all cases are reasonable and
vary according to tlio quality and work
manship expended thereon. We have no
space to enter into details so pass to the
common harness made for rough usage.
This kind includes farm, dray, truck,
Concord hack and cxpi ess rigs, made of
tough, strong, pliant and durable leath
er. The bridles are on a par with tho
balance of the sets, and aro tit accompa
niments for tho wholo dress. Tho collars,
blankets, rolies, surcingles and hardware
are of tho very lest quality and made so
as to merit the confidence and trado of
the proprietor's numerous patrons.
Whips, spurs, bits, boots and nil the re
maining furniture that is usually kept by
leading harness emporiums, are provid
ed in sufficient quantity so that people
may chooso what they desire on pavment
of a reasonable price. Mr. Congfe has
been in tho same line of business in this
city for many years. Ho has had the
necessary experience, knows exactly
what is required to suit the demand,
treats his customers honestly, and never
misrepresents Ids wares. Thoso nru tho
reasons why ho has boon so successful
and why his trade is daily increasing.
Tlie Fate of n coding Present.
Duplicates and superfluous wedding
presents are a great sonrco of annoyance
to many n nowly married pair in Eng
land as well as America, in tho latter
country, however, with characteristic
cleverness, thoy liave known how to turn
oven this fact to account; and thoro is
reported to lc at present at least half a
do.en Krsons in New York alonu who
havo engaged in the business of pur
chasing or exchanging wedding pres
ents. Of course tho transaction must
bo carried on in tho most private man
ner, aud with no little ingenuity, so as
avoid giving pain to the kindly donors.
Half a dozen ojMra glasses, biscuit
boxes, butter dishes or sugar bowls is no
uncommon number; any as for several
articles of electro-plate, thoy jxrvado
every collection of wedding presents to
such a dreadful extent that the poorbrido
positively groans over tho sight.
The method of conducting tho new
business is of itself ingenious. The
buyer or exchanger watches tho marri
ages as their respective announcements
are published in tho daily jiapers, ami
collects the names und residences; and
when the wedding is that of well-known
people a list of presents is invariably
given; this list is carefully read and
thought over, and about three months
after the wedded pair havo settled down
in their new homo a gentlemanly stranger
makes his appearance and inquires for

ort Collyer, who has recently coino from
Chicago to the Church of tho Messiah in
Now York, is expressing with commend
able frankness his opinion of retain
liliertios taken in tho Now York churches.
After his sermon, tho other evening, and
while the choir was singing the Lord's
prayer in subdued tones, a uumhor of
person left the church, to tho great an
noyance of tho largo congregation as-
' sembled. At tho close of tho singing Mr.
1 Collyer said: "May 1 ask those who
have ls-en so kind as to remain through
the services to say to any they may
know , who havo iust left the church, that
if they coiuo again I wish they would re-
' main to tho und, unless their business is
iuiHratie. I was told before leaving
tlio West that I should find tiuer mauiiers
iu Kow York than iu Chicago, but I have
I found it otherwise. .1 have been here
but two Sundays, yet I hao been more
annoyed in this way than during two
i years in Chicago. 1 don't liko it, and I
won't stand it. You will tell them, won't
you?" It is a pity that this well-merited
rebuke could not reach all who are guilty
of so gross a breach of good manners.

travels, saw these Dongola horses, which
' according to some authorities, are not of
1 African origin, but of Arab descent, hav
ing been introduced into tho country at
the time of the Mussulman conquest.
Tlio Dongola horses are, for tho most
