Daily Democrat AMMUUOUs' SENTENCES. It it said that when Jacob Boehme the famous philosopher, was on his death bed some of his pupils came to him to have an obscure passage In his writings explained before he died. After puzzling over it awhile he said : "My dear children, when I wrote this I understood Its meaning, and no doubt theomnlscientGoddld. He may still remember It, but 1 have forgotten." Klopstock, the German poet, was once visited by seme students from Gottlngen to have the meaning of one of his stanzas explained. After reading the stanza, he replied : "I cannot recollect what I mean' when I wrote il.but I remember that It was the finest thing I ever wrote and you can not do better than to devote your lives to the discovery of its meaning." A comical sentence appeared In the pro gram of a concert given by M. Gounod, of London. The eight song was printed," 'She wandered down the mountain side,' accom panied by the composer." A ladv in advertising herself as a teacher referred to the "reputation M teaching sh bears," Instances of-'neglecting the antecedent' are amusing. In an old geography we are told that Albany is a "town of three hun dred houses and twelve hundred Inhibi tants, all with their gable ends toward the street." A furrier once announced that he was prepared to "make up capes, circulars, etc. for ladies out of their own skins." A match vendor of London used the following street cry : "Buy a pennyworth of matches from a poor old man, made of foreign wood." Soire years ago a member of the noted Savage club of London was standing on the steps ot the club-house. A man stop ped and asked : "Does a gentleman belong to your club with one eye named Y alker ? "I don't know," was the replv. "What was the name of the other eye ?" The father did not speak with clearness when he exhibited a fiddle made by his som and said : "He made it out of his head nnd has wood enough left to make another one.' We occasionally read in the papers about "terra cotta ladies' gloves," "woolen child- rens muts, octagonal mens cassiraere pantaloons," etc. Or that "a snake was killed by a boy twelve feet long," or that a thrifty housewife "washes and irons her self every week," or that a man wants boy to drive a horse who lives with hit parents." The power of cola to diminish pain hat long been known to country people ; but its value as an aenxsthetic is only lately be coming appreciated by the medical faculty Every far.ner who has worked at butcher ing hogs or other animals out of doors in cold weather knows that a cuton his own person will often be unnoticed for tome time, or until the flow of blood calls atten tion to it. There wil! be no pain.and if the blood be pure a wound thus made will heal very quickly. But woe to the unlucky man it the blood of the animal he is klilin it in any way diseased. Cutting himself wnue dressing it Introduces the poison In to nis own system, and death is often the penalty fr carelessness. Senator Vance gave Senator Sherman a bright retort Tuesday, when he assured tne Ohio statesman that the Southern planters had no desire to abandon cotton.at a profit of fifty dollars an acre, without pro tection, and go into the business of grow ing ramie, which could be cultivated in India by laborers working for eight cents a day. lhere is common sense argument in that reply, and calling It free trade talk does not take away the force of it. Now Mr. Blaine is accused of having a literary bureau, which is busy supplying fancies about the Cabinet. The people are quite capable of a fine variety of fancies on that subject, without help from a bureau. The latest fane v. which places Senator Teller In the Ir.:o ior Department, Is the most injuriou- i IVicific Coast digestion.

LITTLE TIN CODS. The New York World says a despatch from Washington by way of Pittsburg brings the in formation that the Republican of the Senate have agreed to lay a duty of two or two and a half cents per pound upon tin plate. As no tin plate is manufactured in this coun try the imposition of a duly upon it U not for the purpose of "protecting aa infant industry.' It is an indignant Republican Congressman re marked when the plan was proosed some time ago, "a project to create an infant to protect. by taxing everybody who uses tin plate." This is Protectionism run wild. T , ; . . i cuusivania iron-maxer says that if a tariff of two centra pound on tin plate can be "guaranteed" he can start a company "with a capital of $I,ooo,000'to manufacture it, inside of ninety days." No doubt if a company could be chartered by the Government to tax every canning establishment, every foot of tin roofing every teapot and dinner-pail in the country the capital would be forthcoming. . But what would be the result? Dearer tin and a half dozen or more new millionaires to contribute a barrell of money to campaigns of boodle under the "fat-fry-ing" process and to buy seats for themselves or their agents in the benate of the United States. Does the country want tosetupafew "Little 1 in Oods on Wheels" at suah a price and for such ends? This spaes is nttsrwd lot Dr, Gulss and Son, of the City Druj Storo. Wstchtur their adv. The county court of Lane county has sold its poor farm. Reason: They have kept county paupers for a number of years and now find that h costs the county much more than in the old contract way. This ought to open the eyes of Linn county people who have thought a poor farm would be the cheapest way of providing for thepoor. It is not the best nor the cheapest way as the Democrat has all along maintained. J. K. WEATHERFORD, (NOTARY FUBUC,) iTTORNEY AT LAW, ALBANY, OREGON.
