His successor has not yet keen aeleoted. He will be retained in the faculty as professor of languages. Every country editor is acquainted witli the fellow who takes papers as long as he can get them ou credit, and then attempts to pay for them by writing on a postal card, "stop my pai er." His meanness would make Judas Isearint ashamed to be in his company. Newspaper Man. To encourage cash trade, W. -C. Davis, of Albany, has adopted a new system of cash discount coupons, and is giving his customers, in connection therewith, some really elegant sets of triple-plated silver, It will be to vour interest to call on Mr. Davis before making your spring purchases. Some newspopei man started the report that "a Spokane girl kneads bread with her gloves on," whereupon another practical editor observed: Well, so do we; we also need it with our shoe on, with our pants on, and In fiwtt with All our clothes on need itdoggoned bad, and If our delin quents would pay up we would buy a whole hake-shop," Ex. i Receiver Hadley of the Oregou Pa cific states that he expects, in a few dnys to pay all employes on the road their wages for the month of March. He further expects soon to have ready for payment, on back wages, the $50, 000 to be furnished by the eastern bondholders, which was the consider ation on which the last adjournment of sale was granted. The question of licensing gambling is before the Astoria city council under the new charter, which was evidently smuggled through the legislature, as the state laws declare gambling to be a criminal offence, It is not to be pre sumed that a legislative body would knowingly pass a oharter permitting the license of that declared a oriuie. It Is thought that the council will puss an ordinance placing the license fee at $20,000 per annum. Ex, Rlbelln, the phol'0rPh"'' So much rain Is beginning to make the farmers look blue. D. B.

The hog would weigh 180 pounds when dressed. They made a diligent search, but failed to find any trace of It. Mm, Irene M. Day. of Shelton, Wash., was In the city this week visit ing old friends. Mrs. Day has also been visiting her father, Mr. Ansorge, of Waterloo for some weeks. Mr. Day is now county auditor ot'Mason county Wash. Isaac Benjamin of the Arm of Benja min Bros., went to Portland on the 21st of March, on business, Intending to be gone only two of three days, but continued to remain without writing to his brother, explaining his contin ued ubsence, aud it was feared that he had lieen foully dealt with, but he re turned home all right Wednesday. He had only been vlsltlug friends. The poor Esquimaux who have been brought to the world's fair, to represent me frigid Dorth, are complaining al- roiiny because their manager makes them wear furs when it la such warm weather. If their plaints begin to float upon the still frosty air of March nd April, what will be the howls that will arise when the real warm weather of August and September lanes noia or them The oleaginous effluvia will probably induce the sight b cers to keep at a distance. Ex. aV gentleman by the name of New mire, living on the upper giuslnw, is afflictt'd with a peculiar trouble which has greatly excited the neighborhood A couple of weeks ago the trouble showed itself, and he would be taken with a spasm, which would terminate by his barking like a dog. Dr. Paine wont out to see him Sunday and pre- scrinea rnr mm and thinks he will soon be over It. The trouble Is what is called hystere epilepsy. The neigh borsjof the man thought he had been bitten by a mad dog and were afraid of him. Register. The common ond much despised, but odoriferous, dog-fennel is not in digenous to Oregon soil. Its presence In the Yamhill valley Is accounted for, says the Sheridan Sun, by the fact of a farmer's receiving a package of the seeds from a friend in the East, who insist that it would produce "beautiful flowers." The seed was sparingly divided around the neigh borhood and a grand crop of dog fennel was the result, much to the disgust of the ladles. And that is how the onery dog-fennel got its start in Yamhill. There occurred a queer freak of the fire fiend near Mt. Scott says the Ore gon City Enterprise, when the resi dence of John Matz, at Tobasco, was partially destroyed by Are Saturday evening during the absence of the family. It appears that a lamp must have exploded but the Are did not get on the ouside of the bouse. The rooms were tight and there was no draught. All the furniture in the room was burned or charred and tbe Are extinguished itself. When Mr. Matz returned and opened the door he found the Inside of his house a black ened ruin. His damage is several hundred dollars. The Southern Oregon mines are at tracting so much attention tbat the Southern Pacific Is selling round trip tickets to them from all points. The fad Is Southern Oregon is attracting s great deal of atteutiou and advancing rapidly, not only ou acoount of her un deve'oped mlueral wealth, but also be cause of her rich soil and beautiful and healthful climate having .enough of the Yvebfoot dampness to insure good crops, aud enough of the California sunshine to fit the term, "the Italy of Oregou." We do not envy Southern Oregon her renewed prosperity. The advancement of every portion of Ore gon helps every other portion of this great commonwealth. Statesman. It is probable the question Is raised for the first time In this state by the cose at McMinnville, where a man may, In giving a deed prohibit ever after the selling of liquor or any other commodity on that land The decision will be watched for with muoh Inters est, as there are a number of additions which have now become parts of cities in this state in which all the original deeds bore such a proviso. It is not probable that such ideas will prevail against the sentiment of a majority of any community. It is like laws pass ed by Sabbatarians aud temperance advocates. The average American citizen, if he believes himself unjustly restrained of his liberty by any law, would break that law. And when an approximate half of a community breaks a law it becomes a dead letter. Ex. Lawrence Stoveall, a 18-year old lad, living in tbe western outskirts of the city, lies prostrate near to his death with a ghastly gunshot wound through his head. In company with several other boys, last Wednesday afternoon, Lawrence was amusing himself firing off an old guu which had a piece of a bolt with the threads worn nearly smooth, plugged into it for a temporary breeebpiu. He fired the dangerous weapon once to often; for upon his exploding It, finally the plug was blown out and went crash ing into his brain, penetrating the boy's face at the light eye and passing backward lodged at the base of the brain, from which spot the doctors remived it. Dra. Applewhite and Leonard extracted the dangerous look ing bolt. It was over an Inch in lengt h and was of half Inch round Irou, The boy Is doing as well as could be ex pected, but his (use Is a critical and doubtful one.
