Last Year's Campaign. Tho Now York Timos says: "Tho campaign of 18SI was fought on tho gen oral assoition that tho republican party, as then organlicd nnd led, was not only tho best but was tho only party to which the national government could bo en trusted. It wits held that tho democrats were, as a party, diHloyal in tondoncy, corrupt, inolhVlont; that they would, if they canio Inlo wer, disorder the finances, make dtingoroiis experiments with the currency, ami ennct violent changes in taxation, nnd it WaH espec ially Insisted that they would bring con fusion and ruin into tho civil service by tho multitude of changes made to satisfy tho greed of a hungry and incapablo horde of ofllco seekers." This is n misleading statement. All tlioso things and more of tho same kind voro, Indeed, said by republican speak ers hero nnd thoro ; but thoy wore mere ly tho incidental clatter of tho campaign. Nobody worth minding over protended that tho country would bo ruined by ilomocrntlc biiccobh. At a tlmo like UiIh nn nnrtv can do tho country any great harm. Upon what, tlion, was tho cam paign of 1881 fought by tho republicans? HImply on tho ground that as tho states of tho south wero still massea in mo oiu wnv nnil bv the old IllOthods for tllO .tomncrntie imrtv It was na mucli n duty still ns it hud over been to opposo "mo confederacy," and on tho furthor pro position that tho conduct of tlio itoino omtic! nurtv from tho year 1854 had boon dnngoroiiH, objectlonablo and InfamouH, That party had nttomplod throughout this long period to do the worst possible thingH, and at nearly nil tiinus nnu op posed and tried to dofoat tho best posbI bio things. Uopubllcans hold that a purty with such a history had no doBort that ontltlod It to a vote of approval, or to control of tlio government. Hot what tho Now York Timos and otlior mug wump journals and voters did was to declare by their action that tho history nnd character of tho democrats party wero worthy of commendation j nnd now In effect thoy nro on tlio record as having unproved tho gonoral courso nnd conduct of that party irom mo umu when it undoitook to forco tho oxtonsion of slavery down to tho day viion tnoy Incorporated themBclvcH with It.

Faircliild, a WuHtchcstor county farmer, about threa months ago noticed n Rinall red swelling upon bis upper lip and classed it a a harmless plmplo. It grew steadily, however, and becamo ex ceedingly painful. A physician uxainin ed it, diagnosed it as nn ordinary boll and after subjecting It to preliminary troatment, lanced It. It discharged a yellowish pus nnd bloil freoly. For n J tlmo It nppenrod to heal nnd tlio viru lent indications subsided. Tho relief, wns only temporary, however, nnd after I n tlmo tho inflnmcd surface lcgan to in crease and spread with alarming rapid ity. In two weeks It had extended over tho entire left cheek nnd the entire mus cle uon that side of tho face was affect ed, Tho local physician not being nble to settle the nature of tho difficulty, and as It did not succumb to the usual treat ment of nbsorbents, the pntlont came to this city and entered tho Ilahnomnnn hospital. Tho swelling In tho check continued to increase In sizo until tho cheek was about six Inches thick. It wns hard to tho touch, except nt a point under tlio left ovo, whom It was soft nnd Hpongy. Sharp, shooting paiiiH radiated from tho scat of the dlfilculty in tho'up per lip all over the cheek, being especi ally violent under the oye. The pa tient's face wore nn anxious, expectant look, and tho cheek gradually assumed n black appearance. In sovcrul places small pieces of bone could bo felt wlicro tho jaw had becoino affected and had thrown off sharp splinters. After n careful examination tlio diseaso wns di agnosed ns a saicoma, or enncorous growth of n malignant type. Internal treatment did not chuck tlio progress of the cancer, and tho patient consented to risk a surgical operation, though ho was told the chances wero all against him. A week ago Knirchild was taken to tho operating-room of tho hospital nnd laid ujion the table. Dr. William Tod Hol intith, consulting surgeon of tho hos pital, took charge of tho caso. A-cono containing ether was nlaccd over tho patient's noso, and in a few minutes a loud snoru Indicated that tho aiuesthcllc was complete. The instruments wero in a largo basin closo by in nn nnticcptic solution of bi-chlorldo of mercury nnd carbolic acid. With n small knlfo the Burgeon mado an incision in tlio trachea, just above the chest. After tho hemor rhage had been checked, a small trache otomy tube was Inserted In tho wlnd pic, bo that tho patient could brcatho through It while tho main operation wns being informed. To reduce tho chances of a. fatal termination it was necessary to pack tho upper portion of the windpipo through tho mouth, so as to prevent blood from flowing into tho lungs. After tho tubo had been cleared of mucus and was undor tho control of tho rcBpirntory organ, tho patient's mouth was opened wido and small sponges wero placed undor a, prossuro in tlio back part of tho throat until tho passago Into tho lungs wns completely obstructed. An incision was then mado through tho upper lip, nlong tho left sido of the noso undor tho eye, to tho loft oar. Tho skin upon tho loft cheek wns then dissected, up from tho muscu lar tlssuo, until a largo flap was made, which, lieing turned back, exposed tho cancerous growth. Jt was found to havo involved nil tho bones in tho cheek and uppor jaw, and had nltorod their naturo to such nn oxtont that they could bo bent undor n slignt pressure. A small saw was noxt employed, nnd tho cheek bono noar tlio noso, whoro it ap peared to ho sound and healthy, was sovorod. Tho bono under tho oyo was so sott thnt It offered no resistance, and tho whole jaw nnd muscolar tiBsuo.woro raised. Tho fungus growth, was found to havo oxtonded backward to tho basl llar process of tho occipital bono nnd tho operation assumed now complica tions. "With tho nid of a. pair of bono forceps all tho rough edges of bono wero carefully rcmovod, until ovory vislblo portion npponrod to bo healthy, 'llio cancer was drawn out from tho cheok ns far'as possible, and ft pair of Bpociully constructed forceps wero fastened to It, as closo to tho bnso as possible A strong, stoutly pull wns then npplled to tho forceps and tho ettneor and its roots wore drawn out, leaving a largo soction of qulvoring ilesb. Blood spurted in every direction, nnd it becamo neces sary to apply actual cuutory to tho wounded parts. Aftor much difficulty tho hemorrhage wns controlled, and tho wound, aftor ovory part of affbetod tls suo had been removed, was thoroughly washod with an antiseptic solution.

Strange Story of a New York Farm er's Funeral. A Now York special Bays: John Ry der was tho most prominent man in ltocklnud Lnko. Juno 11 Hydcr died, after prophesying for three days that that would bo his last day on earth. Ho was a wealthy farmer and a high offl cial in the Methodist church. Ho was 70 years old, but his ruddy check and clear oyo gave no indication of approach ing dissolution. On Tuesday ho called his family around him and sent a ser vant after tho farm hands, meanwhilo preserving a calm demeanor. When all had assembled, ho said in deep, im pressive tones, "My friunds, my time is drawing nigh. But two days moro and I shall not bo with you. I have receiv ed a warning, and It portends death." Turning to a farm hand ho said, "Har ness up my horso nnd buggy." When tho vchlclo was ready ho sprang in un assisted nnddrovo to the buryingground, nnd marked off tho space in which ho wanted to bo buried. Driving home, ho despatched a servant lor a lawyer. lie nlso ordered tho man to bring an under taker. The undertaker came and jok ingly measured tho old gentleman. "Now, givo mo your bill, I want to pay it now," ho said to tho undertaker. The surprised undertaker obeyed with re luctance and the old gontlcman paid tho money down. Tho lawyer cuino nnd a will was drawn up, nnd nfter tho instrument had been signed ho invited tlio lawyer to como to his funeral and act as pall-bearer. Tho lawyer laugh ingly assented, thinking it was hut a whim of his old cliont. On tho following day Hyd.cr Bat in his old arm-chair on tlio veranda. During tho night following ho got up several times, and his family heard him walking through the house. Ho was In his usual place in tho morning and appeared to bo in his usual health. Toward noon he called his family around him, saying: "My .friends, I am going now. Good-byo all, nnd God bless you." Ho then lay back in his arm-chair, nnd, gazing tenderly nt his family, gontly eloped his eyes. His lips moved in prayer, and once again ho opened his oyes and smiled, and again the cyollds closed, nnd all was still. Those around him thought ho wns sleep ing, but when they called him ho did not answer. Ho was dead. Ryder was buried on Saturday, all his details nnd requests being religiously followed. PRISON OF RICH FELONS. A Visit to the Ludlow Street Jail, the Present Abode of Ward and Fish. Do you want to visit tho present homo of ox-rresldont FiHh and Ferdinand Ward? Wo shall have to go through Ludlow street, which is in tho densest part of our population, and, being on tho cast sido, is, of courso, plebeian in tho extreme. The Bowery is a second class place, but Ludlow street is nearly a half milo further cast. Tho jail is a plain brick edifico of two stories, bear ing tlio following inscriptions on a mar ble slab: - ; Erected by the Board of Supcnisors: Smith Ely, Orison Dlunt, Walter Roach. Elijah F. Purdy. lolin A. Kennedy, William M. Tweed. How littlo did tho "Boss" imagine ho would die one of its prisoners. Ringing tho door boll, I soon obtained admit tance, and learned tho following facts : Tho Ludlow streot jail Is occupied Bololy by two classes of pnsonors thoso arrested in actions of tort, such as libel or malicious persecution, nnd those who violate tho laws of tho nation. Jnmcs D. Fish, having boon president of a na tional bank, is ono of tho last mentioned class. Tho entire number is 40, of whom n dozen enjoy a privnto tablo In their rooms by paying $15 per week, tlio othors being limitod to prison-fare. Tho warden has two sots of cooks, and en tors for his best boarders in tho hand somest stylo consistent with prison life. Thoy aro not, howovor, allowed any drink Btromror than ton and coffee, and if it bo introduced nt nil It is dono in an illicit mannor. Tho rooms aro about 12 foot square, but tlio prisoners nro allowed to walk the halls, and also can tako oxorclso in the yard. Fish and Ward, being now onomles, have timed thoir hours ot oxorciso so as not to moot, but if by chance thoy should bo in thu hall together thoy Ignore each other's prosonco. Thoy hnvo religious services on Sun day, conducted by an Episcopal elorgy inan (Roy. Morgan), whoso ministra tions nro very acceptable, and every Wednesday afternoon a sorvico of song Is rendered. Tho daily papers are tak en, and there is In addition a library of 1500 volumes, which affords entertain ing rending. Fish and Ward keep up usual hoallh, notwithstanding their pro tracted confinement, nnd neither of thorn receives any visits oxcopt from 1 relatiVe-fl dr l&gal nti yltMie, Wafd's vifo comes frequently, nnd Fish's children nro very faithful in attendance, Fish wns for n long time willing to see repor ters, but sinco tlio exposure of his In trigue and alleged marriage with the ac tress ho has refused all visitors except thoso nbovo mentioned. Ho seems to feel this diBgrnce moro keenly than his bank frauds. The most noted of all tho Inmates of tho Ludlow street jail, of courso, was Boss Tweed, who in consideration of his former position enjoyed somo unusual privileges. Ono of these was tho uso of tho warden's room, which Is moro than double tho sizo of tho others. In this room ho expired moro than seven yenm ago, affording a striking illustration of tho occasional inability of wealth and power to screen villainy and defeat tho ends of justice. Such cases, rare ns thoy may bo, show that evil-doers, how over protected by social and political distinction, may eventually be reached by tlio severest penalty. Tweed suffer ed to a degree far beyond tho ordinary conception, nnd yet his enso never awoke sympathy. New York letter. . Stepping1 Stones to Success. Learn your business thoroughly. Keep at ono thing In nowise change. Always bo in haste, but never in a hurry. Observe system in all you do antt un dertake. Whatever is worth doing nt all is wortli doing well. One to-day is worth two' to-morrows. Be self-reliant; do not tako too much advico, but rather depend on yourself. Never fail to keep your appointments, nor to bo punctual to the minute. Never be idle, but keep your hands or mind usefully employed except when sleeping. Use charity with all ; be over gener ous in thought and deed help others nlong life's thorny path. Make no haste to be rich ; remember that small and steady gains give compe tency and tranquility of mind. Ho that ascends a ladder must take the lowest round. All who aro abovo wero onco below. Think all you speak; but speak not all you think; Thoughts are your own; your words arc so no more Where wisdom steers, wind cannot make you sink; . Lips never err when she docs keep the door. Tho following method is adopted by and taught to tlio firemen of the London tiro brigade: A small platform, some 40 or 50 feet high, has been erected on tho roof of ono of the buildings in the drill yard. One-half of the men who are drilling go up to this platform, and pros trate themselves in all kinds of peculiar attitudes, some on their hacks, some on their faces, some on their sides, and some curled uo. The other half have to go up and fetch them down single hand ed. The rescuing fireman first straight ens out tho seemingly lifeless body of his comrado, and rolls it over on to the face. Then, taking hold under each armpit, he raises the body on to his right knee, so that ho can put his arm round tho waist, and the arm of the insensible man round his own neck. Taking a firm hold, ho suddenly straightens him self up and walks away with his burden in an upright position, and the whole weight of tho other's body supported and hooked, as it wore, by tho arm. Ho has thon to carry his comrado through tho window as best he can, and shoot him down the escape. Gen. Pooo has transmitted to tho war department nn account of the killing of a Pinto Indian named Joo, by two whito men, in Happy valley, Or. In com menting upon tho killing, Gen. Popo again invites attention to whito and In dian outrages, which nro increasing in frequency in tho southern part of this Btato. Ho says tho Piutes having no reservation are willing to frequent this section of country to subsist by hunting nnd fishing; that tho bad stato of affairs now existing is certain to grow worso, nnd must finally culminato in open hos tilities unless a reservation bo nssigned these Indians nnd thoy bo placed on it. Tho commissioner of Indian affairs has directed tho agent to investigate the cir cumstances and report measures look ing to tlio protection of tho Indians. An oxporloncod foreman, who has an oyo for philosophy, says that tools ap parently partnko of tho tompor of thoso who uso them. A short grained man lias nicked bits; tlio impetuous man, broken ones; tho lazy man, dull' ones; tho careless man, badly dressed ones ; tho man with ono Idea, ono dress tor all kinds of work ; tho Boft man can raroly keop tho edgo of n tool from turning, whilo tho good naturod nnd ovon tem pered man baa tho best tools in tho shop, and ts postered continually by ill tempered workmon who como to borrow from him whenovor they hnvo a particu lar piece of work to do. It is quito in teresting to noto tho similarity in tho temper of workmen and their fools. A tank of half-inch wrought iron, with cast iron heads an inch thick, used to heat wator for 100-horso-powor boilor in a Lynn shoo factory, recently explod ed, blowing tho top head through tho roof of tho ono-story boiler houso, so that a pleco fell through tho roof of the factory, n four-story building, 25 foot high.

Tho schooner Helen Mcrnam, from San Francisco, with n general cargo for tho Ellcnsburg business association, went nsboro on tho south snlt of Roaue river last week. 8ho discharged her cargo and at last accounts was resting easily, witlt chances favorable for get ting off without material damage. Judge Woodruff will soon commence tho erection of a bridgo across Kucher creek at a point about half-way between the present crossing and his house. Ho has 10,000 feet of lumber engaged to be used in the structure and will at once begin getting out tho timbers. A considerable part of the past week was occupied In taking depositions at Denmark, before J. Huntley, Esq., ret ereo, to bo used in the determination of three suits viz: Chris. Long vs. Alice Long, divorce; Chris. Long vs. Jns. II. Williams, to cancel lease, and Alice Long vs. Chris. Long, cross-bill for di vorce. The testimony applicable to the three cases is so interwoven that tho same set of depositions may be mado to do duty to a considerable extent all around, and by agreement between the sttorneys they will be so used as far as applicable. Judge Bean will probably pass upon the three cases at the Sep tember term for Coos county. Last week Frank McMulIen of Rose burg came into this section looking for a location, he having sold his place in Douglas county some weeks previous, and last Friday ho had the Culver place near here bonded to him, tho purchase price being $ 2000. Rumor from San Francisco has it that there is a large landed transfer in pros pect for this section, being no less than the sale to Boston capitalists of thoso extensive properties owned by A. I Lo- rentzen, John Blacklock, Dr. Kenyon nnd the Burnham lumber company, ly ing between Denmark and Sixes and bounded by tho ocean on tho west. John Blacklock is acting as purchasing agent, and he and Capt. Taylor are now examining the cedar forests up Sixes Lorentzen has already bonded all of his property, and tho sale seems to binge on the agreement of all the parties to sell. Senator Vest Disgusted. "Washington, Juno 23. Senator Vest is the latest addition to the army of democratic noliticians who are distrust ed with tho administration. Last Snt urday tho senator went to the postoffice department to make inquiries about ap plications on file for vacant postoffices in his state. Ho was told by a messen ger at the door of the postmaster gener al's room that ho could not bo admit ted, because Vilas could not see any callers on Saturday. Ho then asked to see First Assistant Po3tmaster-Genernl Hay, and was told that that gentleman, not feeling well, had gone home. His patience being almost exhausted, he next asked to see tho chief clerk of the department. He was escorted to that gentleman's office, and asked of him permission to see applications on file for Missouri postoffices. The chief clerk told the senator that ho had positive or ders from the postmaster-general not to let any person see the applications or tho indorsements ot nny application for a position under thnt department. Tho littlo senator was in a towering passion and tnking a cab, drovo to the white house, where ho related to the president his experience in tho postofllco depart ment. In plain langungo be told Clove' land what ho thought of an administra tion that would not permit a represen tative of a stato to inform himself ns to tho number and character of applicants for appointments to offices in that state. Tho president told Senator Vest that he did not know what regulations tho postmaster-general had seen fit to adopt for the transaction of business in his depart ment, and that ho' was unable to inter fere in its management. An Iowa Family in a Tempest. Mason Citv, In., June 10. Tho houso nnd barns of Matt Roddy, several miles from here, in tho country, wore carried away in the storm Sunday night, and the family had a fearful experience. There aro hardly boards enough loft about tho homestead to build a 11 ro Not a bit of furniture or n stitch of cloth ing can bo found. Tho wreck is com plete. Roddy's brother wns hurlod into tho field, when tho houso went to pieces. Reddy was left in a sitting position on tho ground. On looking around he saw, by a flash of lightning, that his brother was stretched, dead, some yards away. Ho picked him up and carried him into an underground milk houso.
