Eiitor - and Proprietor
T.ie eeoirranhv tells us how the
earth is divided, iiit it does not
tell ut why o manv want it all.
The Kentucky legislature it a
tie between republicans and demo
crats, and two populists hold the
bJanoe of power.
It now looks like the republican
national convention will be held in
Ban Francisco in 1896. It wilf be
a great advertisement for this coast.
Governor-elect Bradley, of Ken
tucky, is being mentioned as a can
eidate tor vice-president on the re
publican ticket with presumably
McEinley as bis higher official.
More than 185,000 persons com
mitted suicide in the different
countries of the world during the
year ending September 20, 1895.
This is an increase of nearly 20,000
over 1894.
Portland's police service is un
doubtedly the most efficient of that
of any western city. During the
recent Industrial exposition, at
which there weJe mvny thousands
of visitors in the metropolis, not
one of them were robbed or beaten.
Should the next appropriation
for the improvement of the Wil
lamette be large enough for a new
surrey of the same, how happy the
people ought to feel. It can hardly
be expected that enough will be
appropriated to have some left to
make improvement with. Ex.
A vast amount of sympathy is
expended and bucketfuls of tears
wasted over the reformed drunk
ard, the reformed thief, the re
formed gambler, but the poor man
whose life is blameless and devoted
to toilsome effort and honest en
deavor, is set down as a "poor cobs."
Everyone is looking to the mines
at Quartzville with considerable
interest Should tbey prove to be
as rich as some of the sanguine
think, it will give new impetus to
the life and business of Linn
county. Those coming in from
Lawler's Red Bull mine are quite
enthusiastic, and say the building
is all ready for tbe big boiler and
machinery that hove arrived at the
mine.
The days of the prize fighter are
numbered with the things that
were. Corbet t declares he has
quit and will go on the stage.
Fitoimmons has retired and will
coon return to the land at the kan
garoo, and, it is hoped, enter into
a more gentlemanly calling. As a
contemporary puts it, another in.
beritance from "Hold Hengland"
has been discarded as brutal and
demoralizing.
The saddest thing that can be
fall a boy is to have the liberty to
keep late hours. It is when the
curtain of night closes over nature
that a great deal of mischief is
planned and executed. The boys
who are under lax government and
who are permitted to roam tbe pub
lic streets at all hours of the night
are the hoys who bring sorrow
upon their relatives and friends.
All parties should bear this in
mind. Ex.
An Ohio minister preached a
sermon recently on "profanity."
In his discourse he argued that
"damn" was not swearing, but was
Bimply used by many to emphasize
what they say. A day or two af
ter, while making calls on mem
bers of his congregation the minis
ter met one of the various girls,
who remarked: "Elder, that was
a damned good sermon you
preoched last Sabbath." It is raid
tbe minister fainted from the
shock. Ex.

was done so quickly and noiselessly
that the other birds never noticed the
absence of the victim. The boa then re
turned to the tree above, and after a

the bird and covering it with mucus
it proceeded to swallow its prey with

ON A TOMBSTONE.
A Hnftl Fae. Produced tn a aUimea
kMW Manner.
In the Oak Hill cemetery at Stony
Brook, L. I., a large tombstone of mot
tled Italian marble bears a remarkable
portrait of an average-sized human
face. The picture is not the work of a
sculptor, nor has it been graven with
the marble-cutter's chisel; it is a nstn
ral production, the outlines of the face
being formed by a peculiar grouping of
the clouded veins and dark 6pots char
acteristic of first-class imported stone.
The remarkable peculiarity of this par
ticular atone haa been known for two'
or three years, and throughout the
length and breadth of Long Island it
is referred to as "the miracle face."
Standing near, as one would in reading
an epitaph or inspecting the grain and
polish of such s memorial shaft, the
outlines of the face cannot be traced,
but at a distance of from thirty-five to
fifty feet it is as plain as though done
with an artist's brush, the grouping of
the spots, veins and waving lines com
bining to make not only a fair resem
blance to a face, but a complete por
trait, including hair, eyes, nose,
cheeks, mouth, chin, etc Its outlines
are dearest, of course, when the
shadows and light play properly upon
H, but at the distance mentioned, and
in the proper direction, the portrait is
nlainlv visible at all times. The face is
on the back of the stone, and the eves
aresoset as to appear to be looking
down upon the grave of the person to -
whose memory the shaft was erected. I
AN IMPORTANT OFFICE.
aaMdate of the EdlBbarsh
CleMiBl wwewbly.
Among the many anecdotes relating
to the celebrated Dr. Chalmers, an
amusing one was once told by a gentle
man on his return from his first visit to
Edinburgh.
He had heard a great deal about the i
wonderful oratorical powers possessed !
bv some of the members of the renerai 1
assembly, and. being anxious to hat
and judge for himself, paid an early
visit to it.
Next to him, relates the Youth's '
Companion, sat sn elderly, hard-fes-j
tared, solemn-faced man, who was!
leaning with both hands on a hearr
stick, which he eyed with gveat eon-1
centra tion of gsie, scarcely' lifting his i
eyes from his absorbed contemplation
ofH.
Soon the stranger's attention was
riveted upon the speaker who had
opened the day's discourse. The won
derful command of language which he
possessed, combined with his elo
quence of style and the peculiarity c'
his manner, excited the listener's curi
osity to a great degree. 'Can you tci:
me who is speaking now?" he asked,
eagerly, turning to the sober-faced old
man beside him.
"Who's speaking norf echoed the
old man, lifting his eyes from the con
templation of the stick to fix them in
contemptuous amsiement upon his in
terlocutor. "That, sir, is the great
Docther Chawmers, snd I'm boldin' his
stick!" -

A physician in a country village has
lately given his medical brethren some
additional instances of the ways in
which contagions are spread tht::
should make us all thoughtful. T: it
only ease of scarlet fever ever lost by
this doctor was one in which the dis
ease was communicated by a ltt-.-.r
written by a mother fin whoe fatciiy
then were two cases of the fevMrj to a
friend a hundred miles away, Tha en
velope of the letter was pivep. tu a
child as a plaything. Another severe
case of the fever was contracted by a
little girl from two playmate who had
what the doctor called -'scarlet rash,"
tnd Still another was carried to a fam
ily by a carpenter, who Uv:d ei.-ht 1
miles away, who:ie little children were i
ailing with scarlatina, a disetue that
ths attending physician informed the
father was not nearly as catching as
scarlet fever."
