Among the man) bills introduced In congress, by our efficient and hard working representative, Hon. liing-r Hermann, looking towards Oregon's lropperity, is the one which authorizes the secretary of war to order repairs and improvements of a temporary char acter m all navigable rivers for the pur pose of preserving and continuing the use and navigation of said rivers with out interruption, upon the application of the engineer in charge of such rivers, the .repairs and improvements to in clude protection of public works al ready begui or finished, such as dykes, wing-dams, scraping, sluicing, snag ging, dredging, or artificial stirring up of bottcm in cliannel obstructions; and the secretary is authorized to draw his warrant upon the secretary of the treas ury to pay the actual cost of such work, to be paid out of any money iu the treasury not otherwise appropriated. The Oregonian, in speaking of this ; bill, says: This is a very important S and meritorious bill. Under it, the secretary of war would have authority to sluice out the bars in the Columbia river between Portland and the ocean whenever that work is required. The necessity always occurs at the end of the season when, under the present system, the United States engineers are usually out of funds. The result Is that citizens of Portland are com pelled to subscribe money to do a work which the government assumes to do, but in fact neglects. Under this bill, also, the annual period of navigation on the upper 'Willamette river could lie considerably extended. lUvcr naviga tion, which fell to nothing upon the construction of the valley railroads Borne years back, is now becoming im portant again. The river is a link in an important competitive system of transportation, and it is highly im portant that it should be kept clear of drifts and drift bars which are likely to be formed any time. In the actual and important work of assisting navigation in the Northwest, private enterprise has done more than , the government. It is private enter prise always that meets emergencies; tlit fti th timplv Aiitt mfKt .fT.' i . T , . , ,. work. Large sums expended by the: government are often wasted because ; 4l - , , . . . , . ' the engineers have not at the right t j time a little money to protect a half- j buUt work or to mend a breach in a completed work. Small obstructions j which could be cleared out with a little ! snoney are left to grow into great ones or turnctl over to private enterprise; Tlie Duldie has been burdeneil with charges which ought to be borne by the government. The law proposed by Mr. Hermann would r lieve the eitizens of this, and of other states similarly sit- i "-fi for fattening hogs.

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS. Krom the Kml Authorities o Topic. Farm Country merchants lit I Louisiana are refusing corn which is oll'ered by farm ers at iS) cents a barrel. Feed a colt enough to keep liim growing, no matter if it takes as many oats as a full grown horse. Three hundred heater cars have been in use between .St. Johns, N. 11., and Host on, carrying potatoes. Minneapolis is making a move to wards saving the city Waste and street sweepings for fertilizing purposes. It is stated that the state veterinar ian of Nebraska has destroyed 250 head of horses iu his endeavors to stamp out glanders. Among the Aroostook wonders is a hog reported to weigh 470 pounds when dressed, though only five months and ten days old. There were 19,70,OtX bushels of wheat in interior elevators in Minne sota and Dakota, Jan. 1, against 11,"01, 000, Oct., 1. It is always best for a farmer to es tablish a reputation for selling a good article in order to get his full share of the profit on anything he has to sell. The agricultural department fixes the average of Iowa's corn crop at a I fraction over twentv-five bushels to the acre, and that of Nebraska at twenty four. Pick over the beans this winter and select god ones to plant. Better sell the poorer ones at a low price than plant them. Plant the best of every thing. To enrich land that is poor we must have manure, or its equivalent in vege table matter, cr apply plant food in some shape to induce the growth of vegetation. During the past seven years more than 200,000 acres in England have gone out of cultivation. It means a loss of 300,000,000 to the land-owners and farmers. It has lieen conceded by those inter ested that no profits can be realized from creameries the first year, but that, with experience, good profits will be had thereafter. There are thousands of farmers in this country who are farming at a los. To these it may le said that it requires more than physical lalwr to make a success of any vocation. The enormous quantities of ensilage com which can be grown to the acre, and the cheapness w ith which it can be put into the silo, makes it a com mendable fortification against our sum mer drouths. T. J. Jaquith, of Londonderry, Vt., writes that he supplies salt to his stiK-k in winter bv dissolving the salt and sprinklintr it on straw which thev will .... , eat mtre readily than when ury. Before going into fruit culture find ......... , , t , . out what varieties vour land is bt atlal)twi to prcJuec And give those va- rictus the preference. Situation as well as soil adaptation should be ci n- f iderett On most soils lime will decompose otherwise instduble plant food in the soil, and three years after its use a ton of clover may be grown on land that was almost destitute of vegetation. The cultivation of Indian corn is rap- idlv increasing "in IUissia. It is now i 1 Euroie in the near future. Warming water for stock is a subject leing much thought of bv farmers. It may be done with cither wood, or kem- ed. 1'xwh.mxg I-msoxeks. The two have to kill the jailer to do it. Mr. Pygall caught the one who escaped last week, at Jeflerson. A ball and chain has been attached to the leg of each. On Sunday morning, when De puty David Osborn went into their cells, he found that thcy had sawed the shackles off. The cut is smooth and indicates that it was done with a fine saw. A piece ot scythe-blade and an old case-knife, each hacked for sawing, were found in the cell, having ln?n imssed in from some one outside. Mr. Osborn has very properly taken pr -cautions to prevent escape. He has had rivitcd on them shackles and has I put them in separate cells. llirUllHllllt lk till" llfUVUI 2HU J IJH" j usual excuse for delay in the adjust- intent of long-pending controversies , , .

Mr. IMckinson Is not so milch of a Mugwump as Vilas. Dickinson and .-'tcvinson.'his first Assistant, make a combination that delights the hearts of Demo cratic politicians. The Democratic foiiCTessinen from the tobacco RrowitiR states ire nt'iuisting the removal of sta tistician IVk1kt, of the Agricultural IVartment. Their Rrievance Is that he overestimated the Ken tucky tolrf ceo crop last summer. Mr. lKxlpv Is a republican who has held his present position twenty-two years. Kx -Justice Stronp. of the lnitel!"tates Supreme Court, questions the constitutionality of the Hlair K"n atiotial bill, and expresses the opinion that his views are those of his former associates, now on the bench. This is a strong argument ucninn the measure and will exercise no little in fluence. As the subject of Prohibition is one of especial interest just now , I will mention that I'omrressraan Hayes, of Iow a, has placed himself on record for the second time in opjo.iiUm to the can. When Circuit Judge in Iowa he decided that prohibition was unconstitutional, and lie has this week re fused to present to conjrre-is a petition from his state praying for prohibition in the District of Columbia, lie declares himself absolutely oss ed to prohibition ou principle, and thinks the vo- plc of Io-v r.re mcdllng when they attempt to force upon the District legislation in a mutter that he calls of nrerely local concern." That brilliant but indolent man L. O., V. Iji- mnr, is apparently enjoying the "crowning honor of his life." He is peuceftiUy n-rsxing upon the restful woolsack where Ids slumbers will not be disturbed by the d innnds of annoying doart- mental duties nor the tm-essaat importunities of the office-seekers. The Court can distribute no patronage, and as for real work, are there, not eight other JuMli-, s ls-(.des liniar to do it. The lresiilent ha thrown another eni'i'o of comfort timely enough to the -iv;l j-vniec re formers in accepting the "resintttion" of I'nttcd States District Attorney Harris, who took a promi nent part in the recent notorious municipal elec tion at Jackson, Mi. As visa remember this has been the subject of Congressional discu-ion. The official in question, in quitting ot"ce. says lie re tires to relieve the President of emlnirrassment. Those near the throne declare that Mr. Clevel.md was not nearly so much embarrassed as a certain young subordinate whose resignation was gently H-quested.

On New Year's day there was born to a young woman (name not given) in Oakesdale, W T., twin babies, bound together in one Ix-ing, and connected from what is known as the morbileas up to the fourth rib. The attending physician in writing of this strange freak of nature, says thorugh the Col fax Commoner ; Their heads, shoul ders and extremities were naturally formed, witli their little cheeks coming in contact with each other, and witli their arms thrown around each other's neck hi fond embrace, thus presenting one of the grande st pictures of inno cence and love that the human mind c uld possibly conceive. The little in nocents only made a faint struggle for life, and passed over to the bright lye yon d. "My little son, three years of age, was terribly afflicted with scrofula. His head was entirely covered with scrofulous sores, and his Inxly showed many marks of the disease". A few lottles of Aver's Sarsa parilla cured him." W. J. liecket, Hymera, I ml. A Revival. "Why do you keep up a revival all the time in your church?" was asked of an Arkansaw negro preacher. "Has tcr do it, Bah," he replied. "Whut tic land boom is ter de small town de 'viv al is to de chuch, an' ef it goes down, de cause gwinc ter suffer.

There is no doubt whatever that the more enlightened and scientific sani. tary regulations of modern times have d ne much to stamp out many old-time plagues and limit the range of fibers. It i not chimerical to suppose that the time may come when contagious cpl dmeics will lie things of the past. Cut aneous diseases, likewise, are by no means so general as formerly. The mil- ! lions of bottles of Ayer's 8arsapnrilla that have been consumed the pasi four or five decades must have been a great factor in the good work.

Sore Eyes The eyes are always in sympathy with the body, and afford an excellent Index of its condition. When the eyes becinie weak, and the lids inflamed and sore, it is an evidence that the system has become disordered by Scrofula, for which Ayer's BarsaparUla is the best known remedy. Scrofula, which produced a painful in flammation in my eves, caused me much suffering for a number of years. By the advice of a physician I commenced taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla. After usint; this medicine a short time I was completely Cured My eyo9 are now in a splendid condi tion, and I am as well and strong as ever. Mrs. William Gage, Concord, 2t. H. For a nrnnbor of years I was troubled with a humor in my eyes, anil was unable to obtain any relief until I conimenrec mine Ayer's Sarsaparilla.

I have used for these complaints, with beneticial results, Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and consider it a great blood purifier. M rs. C. Phillips, Ulover, Vt. I suffered for a year with inflamma tion in my left eye. Three ulcers formed on the ball, depriving me of sight, and causing great pain. After trying many of her remedies, to no purpose, I was final ly induced to use Ayer's Sarsaparilla. By Taking three bottles of this medicine I have been entirely cured. My sight has been re stored, and there is no sign of intintnma tion, sore, or ulcer in my eye. Kendal T. Bowen, Sugar Tree Uidge, Ohio. My daughter, ten years old, was afflict ed with Scrofulous Sore Kyes. Durinjr the last two years she never saw light tf any kind. Physicians of the highest standing exerted their skill, but with no permanent succoss.
