The following from the Oreioniaii if
furthtr evidence of its eorrunting inilu
enee In the politic of Oregon :
Ij'tst year the orgiini.ed liquor rings
of Oregon interfered in a most unjust i
llalde manner in the iMlil of this
Ma'o. Thev U-aine llis of the
JMitchell nia liine in Multnomah imm-
ty, and tlte combination put forth its
whole Mrenutli in tho eleetloii of a just-
Uv of the supreme nmrt, and in the ef
fort to nut un it into the legislature from
different parts of the state who would
le lammil to tlio interest ot me
eopnrvonerH in tlte enterprise. It
was a most scandalous alliance, and
it partially succeeded in its puroso.
The Orc(f)iin attacked it with veho
jneinv, Net forth tho scandalousness of
noh a continuation, exposed the vill
niny of its method, and nppeahd to
the Hple to l-at it. It ought to have
Ix-cn lieaten in every part of its under
taking, hut it sueeeed in fleeting: the

The late H 'V. Henry Ward lleceher
was one of the few men v, ho are- lMrn
Mith the gift of cxteiniian)"ous
sH-ch. Jlis power in this direction
Consisted not merely in his command
f language, but in hisatHuent imagina
tion, his warm impulses, his fertility
in resource, in his power of Midden con
verging his mind and heart uon the
theme. Mr. Heechcr was like Dr. Ilcl
lows, w ho com pl;ii lied that men some
time treated him as if he wen a Inittle
front whieh it w as only necessary to re
move the Mopiier. Mr. lkveher's elo
quence was not of tliegrandihxpient or
orotund type. It was conversational,
dramatic; it gleamed with wit ami
humor or dropped into pathos; it soar
ed on the lofty wings of the imagina
tion, ami swoojied down again into an
ecdote and illust ration. Hidiscourses
were full of windows, that let in the
light; and some of them set in stained
glass, whieh glowed with Wnutiful im

as his is too rare a curosity to send out
of the country even to a loan exhibition.

Scald and thorouvthlv clean out your

but ki't-p your nasty dishcloth away

dishcloth almost unii rsallv is about
the most filthy rag in the wliolc house
and should never lie used on dairy uten
sils. It is a good plan to give the hogs
wood aslu-sonce a week with salt. 'I he

It is not a question, so far a profit is

If you have let your horses unfortun

no time in feeding up. The full strenutli

much depends In sueeesslully prosecut

Adopt ( lie best method of" feeding w ith

Much of the future value of the horse

NOTES.
A sure way to have good cows is to
raise them yourself.
Trim out the dead wood in currant
and gooseberry bushes.
Prune grape vines to two or three
buds of Jast year's growth.
Get out of the old ruts if they do not
pay and this spring begin on something
new.
Wliere hogs can lie grown healthy
and pound, swine raising is a safe busi-
lieas at current prices.
Good butter und cheese cannot lie
made from tlte milk of cows that are
deprived of pure water.
The finest pork made in the world is
that produced on the Madeira Islands,
where the swine live princiiially on
nuts.
Plan well and thoroughly, cultivate
no more lain! than you can cultivate
well, in.- faithful and' trut for j-jd in
