Exchange tells the follow- i, '-The meanest Populist on rd lives in Union county, Mo. "sold his son-in-law one-half jf a cow, and then refused to divide the milk, maintaining that ho B1(1 only the front half. The son-in-law was also required to provide the feed the cow con- ?med and compelled to carry her Wit'or three times a day. Re cently the cow hooked the old man and he is Buing the son-in law for damages." The Iowa court that has to de cide which died first, the father or the son, when they both sank together while bathing, in order that it my be known tvnether tine widow is entitled to half or the whole of the old man's prop erty, has a highly interesting tiek on its hands. The brother and Bister of the husband want the half very much, and doubtless the wife's " relatives are equal!; eager in the matter, because she, too, must pass away Booner or later, whether by drowning or the ordinary way. A Portland correspondent . to the Rogue River Courier ' sayB: '.'The committee oflUU bas pre pared bills for the legislature to effect some financial reforms, both as to the security of -public money and the protection of private de positors in all kinds of banking institutions. This committee will load the legislature down with bills, if present prospects hold out, and among them will he many (rood ones and some , that will set t ie legislature completely by the r. it.

The difference bitween the Oregon Railway Navigation- Company's rate and that of the Southern Pacific accounted for on the ground that the volume of traffic of the former is much larger, as above set forth, and much of it through business, and the average haul per ton is 223 miles, while the average haul of the hitter is but 93 miles. Pkof. Shaw has returned from Gram's Pass, where he went to (iive expert testimony in a case where a man was prosecuted by the food commissioner" for selling adulterated lard. The lard was shown by the evidence to contain tallow but the defendant escaped punishment on account of a defect in the.adulte.-ated food law. The Jaw was born in the last legislature nnd on its third reading in the " house, was nftde the subject of an "neudmenW The law as amended ,ihe hoike and subsequently te. Then it went to the , . .merit committee, and in the . 'imont the amendment was 'K'off, and mads worthlssi, o- cording to tbi Grant's Pass justlss, ' leaving Oregon Halls to u,i any fond mlstBfs'Ut dMottssl her. $20,000 was the amount the people paid out for legislative clerks at the last session, ami the above is an example of how wisely and well the money whb spent. The discovery of the tllow in the lard was made by Trof. Shaw assisted by the photograph depart ment at the experiment station in an analysis of samples sent from Grant's Pass.' Up to date there is about $22, 000,000 of the gold obtained by the sale of bonds to replenish the reserve in the treasury gone where the woodbine twinith. For this $22,000,000 Mr. Carlisle gave $22, 000,000 of bonds at three per cent, to run for two years. He may have bad the satisfaction of gnzmg upon this vast sum, but nothing more. He hardly had time to count s pile like this. It has now gone from his gaze forever, and the nation will have to pay $7, 000,000 in interest for the peep he had. This Is paying dearly for so brief a pleasure. . But since it pleases Mr. Carlisle, what right have we to object? Tor all the good it will do the masses, this $7,000,000 might lave beon dump ed into the Pacific ocean. It is simply Btartling to think that the people have to foot this interest. But who has made this vast sum so short a time? Why, the bankers of course. Those hard working fellows, toiling night and day to keep alive. Mr. Carlisle and his chief have already said that this must be repeated shortly No doubt of it. If it depends upon thebinks, it will have to be re peated every month. But it is about time for this administration to cease shoveling money into the vaults of private banks. Does Mr. Cleveland or his helper in this matter, ever think that they may be held criminally responsible for some of their actions? The time mny come when just such thing! will happen. There have been impeachments of presidents before today. His. cannot come too soon. Any combination of idiots that will squander the people,! money In th:s fashion, should be severely punished. Tomahawk. Some one took exceptions to the advice of the Oregoniao for those out of work to rustle for something to do, and not to stand all the day idly waiting for some employer to hire them. The same critic added : "We do not wish .Mr. Scott any harm, but for a short time and in the way of experiment we should like to see him drop down in Port' land, out of work and without friends," says the Spokane Spokes man Review. In reply the editor of the .Orcgonian says of himself: Be was in exactly that position in, Portland over forty years ago. But he didn't stand around and whine, nor look for resources in political agitation or bogus money, nor joingroynp yon will marry, as all little girls nmntitiv. Hfl at.rnn.ff nut tnr He struck out for the country, dug a farmer'j pota toes, milked the cows and built fences for his food and slept in a shed, got a job for rail-splitting and took his pay in an order for a pair of cowhide boots; in those boots trudged afoot to Pugct sound; "rustled" there for -three years and raked together $70, with which he came bick to Oregon, a foot, to go to school, and managed by close economy to live six months till, his last dollar having van 'ished, he bought an ax of Tom Cbarman of Oregon City on credit, made himself a camp on the hill above Oregon City und cut cord- wood till he got a little money to pay debts he owen for bookB and '.loths. The next years were spent very much the same way &xd work and hard study, but nothing for beer and tobacco, and no time fooled awny listening to political demagogues. All this is common place, but this is recited to show that when the ediror of this news paper talks about hard times self- help and what men can do he knows what he is talking about.

Lawrence Ban-eft onoe told me of a conversation be hod with Edwin Booth. The latter had been congratulated npou an ovation given him by a crowded bouse on the opening night of an engage ment. "The sweetest music to my ears," said the great tragedian, "is the shout ins of the boys in the gallery. I know they are not applauding because I have a reputation or because they wish to moke a display. They simply give vent to their natural enthusiasm. When they ihout, I know that I am giving a good performance. As for the parquet, it may clap its hands eot of politeness. A dramatic critic who had certain notions as to how a line should be read will ap plaud if I read it his way; 'Otherwise us will remain quiet. Icon never analyse the applause of the front rows', bnt;the gallery is sincere in its lines or dislikes." Chicago Bscord.' ' ' DlMppolattaf. She was a very cultured and fashion able young lady, albeit she was only ( years old, and she was a resident of New York. A gentleman calling on her par ents had an opportunity to have a brief tete-a-tete with ber. "I presume," he said, "that when you No," she replied languidly. "No, I hardly think I shall." t "Indeedl That will be so disappoint ing." "Possibly may be to mamma ana to the yonng gentleman, but not to me, I fancy," and she lolled back in her chair quite tired to death, don't you know.
