One John Jack is to givo a slow ia tho city to-niaht. -A'c'yo not hicu in vited, anil ho will probably not see Jack and his three associates ting and danco ; but on account of his extensive travels and his bav ins lwn 1'ore in 1877 we give the following about his very extonsivo trips : "Shortly after leaving hero they visited Victoria and San Francisco. Leaving the latter city they continued on a tour of the world. They visited the Hawaiian Islands, New Zealand, Australia. India, Burmah, tho Strait Settle ments, Siam, China and Japan. Returning by tho China sea they looked in at Ceylon, gazed once more upon the wonders of Hin doostan, crossed tho Arabian sand, entering the Hod soa, visiting Kgypt, travolled the lower Kile, passed over the Holy Lands, visited Greece, Sicily, Italy. Franca and Great Britain, returning to New York. Bitiriiir Prospect. Mr. S. G. Elliott who was at one time connected with lien . Holi day in the early enterprise that resulted in the building of the 0. & C. I!. 11. and who for sone time made his home in this city ia visiting Portland after a four years residence in the Ejst. Of Orccon he says : "The future of this State is destined to ba very great. The timo is not far distant when there will be a big boom here, and the op portunity afforded for those to realize for tunes who aro able to get a foothold in prop erty of one kind or another Eastern capital ists aro turning their attention hero to a greater exent than ia generally realized. Thore wilt be large investments of money made here by them in the near futuse, and ia the wake of these will follow great activ ity in all lines. Oregon wilt grow rapidly in tho next two yean. A Prompt Co. A few weeks ago Mr Burr M. Sloan insured with Mr. Oscar Marshall, agent, in the Bankers Mutual Re lief Association, home office at Portland' Through an accident be crippled one of his hands for several days. On Dec. 10 he received a check for $15 in full of his claim. This is a safe, reliable, home company, and parties wanting a policy in a prompt com pany should insure with Mr. Marshall In this company. Accidunts are liable to happen any day. Mdd We growl shout our muddy streets Read the following from a Salom paper : "On an awning post in f rot of Henry liars' watch shop last eveniog were hung up two large overshoes, covered with mud and bear ing this device, $10,000 reward for the lost, strayed, or stolon man, woman or child to lit these shoes supposed to have been drowned, stuck or ditched while trying to make the passage across Commercial street.' The application of the joke lies in looking at the condition of Commercial street." A Credulous Youth The prize fight arranged for this afternoon between Dutch Henry and a well known gentlemen at the fairgrounds did not come off, on account of poor weather It Is said. Dutch Henry we understand is thoroughly trained,having been Induced to live on rare meat covered with pepper, rubbing himself with salt sacks, striking sand bags.boxlng with heavy weights until he Is well bruised up and walking several miles a day. Funeral Services The funeral of Mr Samuel Althouse this afternoon was large ly attended. Rev. S. G. Irvine preached the sermon and Rev. Prichard conducted the singing. The remains of this worthy citizen, who leaves behind him a good record for manly conduct, were laid to rest In the city cemetery amidst the regrets of the entire community. Mail Agent.

A Riim'le ok Excitement It was 1:30 o'clock, when, amidst a scarcity of items, the sharp report of a revolver rang out on the air, less than a block from the office of this Indlspenslble family newspaper. And again another shot followed with alacrity. With 576 other people a Democrat man hastened to the coi ner of Ferry and Sec ond Street where an increasing confusion was reigning supreme, and a telegraph pole man was cryIng"shoot the other man, don't shoot me, hit the man with the revol ver." Here's the story : James Allen, a cook on the Oregon Pacific after quitting work on the road came to this city and for a week has been gloriously ginned u, last evening wallowing in the gutters. lie waj taken to the calilioose, where he slept. rrevious Jto the lime mentioned Marshal Hayes took hiin his dinner. Allen made an excuse to go to an out building, and the Marshal wen! inside of the caliboosc ; but returning to the door saw Allen fleeing around the corner of the engine house, l'ollwing him he fired two shots in order to frighten him, and the telegraph man claimed one of them whizzed close to his head. Allen was stopped at the corner of Ferry and Third Streets and taken hack to the caliboosc, where lie will probably re main for livu days. The affair caused" con siderable excitement for a few moments. Montetih & Sei their IMMENSE Call early before Ciiook County.

A Gooo Adv.- -Following is the adver tisement, which the Sdem Board of Trade has been running in nearly a thousand ag ricultural and family papers through the East: "Come to the land of the big led apple, pears, prunes, etc., where the climate is so mild grass remains green during all the year. The U. S. census report shows Oregon to be the healthiest State in the Union. Rich lands cheap. Send stamps for an illustrated pamphlet to Board of Trade, Salem, Or." The citv is already receiving a ereat benefit from It. An eftort like this is about the only one that will benefit our city very materially. A Law Suit. Yesterday the case of Curran Si Monteith against Hunter, was tried before Judge Blackburn. It was one of some interest. Several weeks ago the plaintiffs allege that Mr. Hunter made a verbal arrangement with them to sell some land belonging to him, for which they were to receive a commission. The land was told, as the readers of the Democrat will remember. Mr. Hunter refused to pay the commission and Curran or Monteith sued him for $4 to. After hearing the case a verdict was rendered In favor of the plaintiffs for $350. It'is understood that the case will be appealed. A Joke. Wm. Wright,familiarly known as the Jersey Lily, was in the city yester day and to-day. A good joke is told on Billy, which happened at Mehama a few evenings ago, while attending a dance.

Billy couldn't swim, but with the assistance of the young lady he was rescued from a watery grave. Cor vallis Times. Came Herb Instead.

Of onr railroad the Coquille Htarld sajs: "The Aston and Willamette Valley rail road will have a two-fold benefitting result. Ia the first place it will deorease the distance to the sea and produce a lively competition ; and in the second place it will cause Port land to improve the Columbia and Willam ette rivers." The Unfortunate Steamer. Yesterday an effort was made to pump the water from the steamer, but with poor success, though It might be possible to do It at low tide. It was ascertained that there were at least two small holes in the bottom. The boat now lies with Its bow digging in the sand, its stern rising upwards, and was together this morning owing to a calm night. Whether it will go to pieces or not it is said depends on the weather. Divers have been sent for, and it is thought that if the weather is not too severe something can be dune j but with heavy winds and the sea beating over it continually it Is lia able to go to pieces at any moment. That is the way it losks this evening. Our Exi'eriknce. TheCorvallis Times devotes nearly a column to D. C. Presley, a journalistic gentleman who was in that city a few days ago.
