Be just before you are genoroiu.
A roan cannot powesa anything
better than a good woman, or worae
than a bad one.
What u that you nhould dwnys
seep mbtm you have given it to an
other? Your word.
Keop your temper in disputes. The
ritol hammer fashions the red-hot iron
into an j chape needed.
No one Knows the weight of anoth
er man'a burden, nor tastes the null
um of another man's tears.
There is not a heart but has its
momenta of longing, yearning for
something better, nobler, holier than
it knows now.

Those who befriend genius when it
is straggling for distinction, befriend
the world, and their names should be
held in rememberanre.

Remember that self interest is more

That man who is afraid to mace an
enemy or afraid of his enemies when
they come ready made, as come they
will, is not made of quite the metal to
cut his way through the world.
A woman may more safely marry a
man whom she respects and esteems
than one she loves. A woman may
love a murderer, a race, a spendthrift,
a gambler, but she cannot respect and
esteem him.
There are thousands of acres of fine
fanning land laying idle in Linn
countv. Lands are now too valuable
to lay idle or be fenced in pastures. A
man can not mace money raising a
cow on five acres of hind that is worth
t"0 or f 100 and that if in cultivation
would sell for five times that amount

Those who attended the press associ
ation will remember the stand the edi
tor of the West Bide took against taking
article from other papers without
Saving proper credit, he being the only
person, excepting the president, who
would express his opinion on this
subject. Well, in the very next bwue
of the West Side an article appearet',
copied almost word for word from this
paper, which we had written the day
before leaving for Newport. The piece
was copied from that paper with credit
by the Yamhill Herald, but that is all
right; if Pentland can stand it we can,
for we are not making a kick. Oh, no;
we only wish" our older brother to keep
silence when one so much younger
should chance to eteal au article new
and then.
A XttlT TO THE PI BL1C SCHOOL.
On last Wednesday afternoon, in
company with Mr. Singleton, we made
the public school a viit, first going to
the primary department, under the
able and efficient management of Mint
Fannie Griggs, who has bad charge of
it for the past two years, and has so
entangled herself in the hearts of the
' little one) that she has their utmost
respect and confidence. We were
present when the small reading class
recited, but owing to our awkwardness
and backwardness took no part in it
There have been already a'xty-six
scholars enrolled in this room six
more tlmn were enrolled during the
whole of last terra but Mia Fannie
has them arranged and clamed well,
and says she can manage them all
right. We then visited the next room
and were met very kindly by Prof.
Hickman. On our entry the English
Grammar class was reciting, after
which we had the pleasure to hear a
recitation in geography. The Profess
or does not confine bimsef to the book
by any means and is as well posted
peron we have ever met He has
some new charts, a new dtk and a
tivw glut, which is a fine one. Thirty-was

As many are discussing the question
of reducing the surplus in the United
States treasury, from a political
standpoint, each partisan trying to
maKe his theory Bquare with public
interest, and each of which are com
mented upon by the press, approving
or condemning as suits their notion;
wo will offer a suggestion which may
le of some use to help solve the vexed
question. We think it will cut the
Uordian knot It is an equal distri
bution of the surplus among the
Btatee; say one-half of f 100,000 equal
ly to each state to be used as an edu
cational fund, the other half, f 50,000,
000, distributed to each state accord
ing to its representation in congress
for internal improvements. Inasmuch
as the surplus has been puid in by the
toiling millions this process would pay
it back to them in the way of reduced
taxes for educational puroscs on one
hand and build highways for their
benefit on the other.
Ijmn this basis Oregon would get
nearly $1,316,000 for schools, which,
added to her present school fund,
would support our common schools
without a direct tax upon the jn-ople
for that purjHwe, or greatly reduce it.
The Bhare Oregon would gmt from the
other half, 50,000,000, would help
build up and improve the state. We
offer the above as a fair way of minc
ing the surplus, and one wo have not
seen advanced by any of our states
men or tariff tinkers. What say you,
tax payer. Phundealcr.

Miss Jennie Slack, aged 1C years,
residing in the blue grass region of
Iowa, has this season planted and cul
tivated thiity-fi vc acres of corn, besides
milking six cows night and morning
and helping in other work about the
farm and household. The corn is in
splendid condition for a big crop, and
the young lady who raised it is said to
be ne-looKing, intelligent and none
the worse for the hard work she has
done for her invalid father, who was
unable to pay a hired hand or do it
himself, tfuch girls make good help

A somewhat novel scheme has lieen
proposed by Clans Spreckles, the sugar
king. He has a plan for building an
addition to the White House out of
blocks of hardened sugar. 8pret-Kles
maintains that he is now able to pro
duce blocks of sugar whiter than mar
ble and harder. The material, he
asserts, will be less than one-half as
expensive as marble. Ho guarantees
it whiter and to hold color frfectly,
no matter in what kind of weather,
and warrants it to stand the wear of
time for an indefinite eriod. Fx.
