Uut this gunce, so tb 'press dispatches say. Roswoll G. Horr, the great, re publican stump speaker, is dead. He was not n great man in the true sense of the word, but had considerable ability as a stump spetu;er, and political debater. Secretary Morton says New Jer sey carries more farm mortgages in proportion to area than any other state, and that the north Atlantic states have more farm mortgages than the same number of states in any other section. lfeery county, town and pre cinct in the state which has a "strong probability" of securing a beet sugar factory, according to our exchangee, is successful, Oregon v ill supply the world with sugar. But these factories are only on paper. Ex. Last week's issue of the Eugene Register contained a lengthy article from the San Francisco Call, the article mentioned being devoted to "roasting" the Examiner. The Register's compositor made a hap py mistake in setting the first line ot the heading, which rend: "The Gall Red Hot." Tammany and the Stn Francisco Examiner are both censured oy many papers. It is alleged that both are skilled in "ways that are dark, and tricks that are vain." However, this much can be said for both Tammany and the Exam iner they were friends of the la boring class during the late presidential campaign. officer ha no right to prepare the uriuv according to his ideas In time of peace, tienceives the command over thedift'er en corps trom another man, with whom, perii.ipi, h lUVtrs materially In opinion. The respoaeiliility for "the state of the army is thus divided and cannot be fastened upon any one person. Further, the highest rank hi tlie French army is that of division generar. There arc some higher functions, such as tlte command of an army corps and the army inspection, but t hese f unctions are attended to by iho division generals, who stand in the same raaik with their inferiors in command. In times of peace, this causes unpleasant jealousy, during war time it may lend to conflict and disorder. V.'lth regard to the com manders of amy corp;? the matter is not so bad, as they ore iu touch with troops and leaders under tlieireoiiunands, Hut how is a geaicral to command n.u army if the chiefs of four or five unity corps and some 20 divisions all hold the snnie rank as himself ? Will he be obeyed ? Tho impropriety of this state of things is well known to the French, but tiie conditions of the republic exclude the possibility of suitable reforms. If any general were given an extra feather for his hat or an extra star on the collar of his coat he might use h is new authority againstthe republic. On theotherhand, the hundred or so of division generain hold each other in cheek. Yet, the re sponsible heads of the army fi'ttr that serious difficulties will arise in case of war, and the present minister of war has drawn up a bill for the mitigat'on of the evil. He suggests the appoint ment of a responsible council of war and the creation of a new rank, that at "atrmy general." Twenty-five of the division generals are to be raised to It, and they must be chosen from the offi cer who already act as army command ers and army inspectors. It is, however, doubtful thateven this moderate reform will be allowed to pass the chambers. Already the radicals and socialists raise a row and declare that Billot is preparing foracoupd'etat. On the other hand, the military press points out that it would be much better to give the future i inlanders of armies a higher hierarchic position and to en able them to exercise some power over the troops they are to lead in time of war. But the milittflry authorities un derstand that, if 25 commanders are raised to a higher rank the present diffi culty in the appointment of chiefs is at least narrowed down. More radical re forms would be likely to meet with still greater opposition than the proposition which Gen. Billot has formulated with the assistance of his civilian fellow min isters. Berlin Rundschau. j ron Quwles. Very interesting tacts, not generally known, about the iron mines of Hpnln were discussed ai a recent meeting ol the Iron, and steel Institute of tireut Britain. It is from northern Spain, in the neighborhood of Bilbao, that tin greater part of the iron ore imported for the use of the liritish steel uuihcn Is obtained. Steel is made by the bash process from iron ore containing phos phorus; but for the best, qualities ol steel, which is made by the open hearth process, a purer ore must be used, and it is that which England imports from Spain, "Nature seems l.o have designated the hilU of northern Spain especially for the use of the steel nickers," Until recently practically no effort has been made to manufacture steel In Spain, and most of the ore has been exported to England. The iron mines of north ern Spain are described as being rather quarries tiian initios in the ordinary sense of the word, "The mountains themselves ore just heaps of iron ore covered naturally with but a thin layer of earth. This is removed, and it ouly remains to break up the ore and load it into fitting receptacles, w hen it is con veyed down to the water's edge by its own gravity." Youth's Companion. Eye Openers. Senators Dubois, Pettigrew, Man tle, Squire and Teller, silver repub licans, declined to participate in the republican senatorial caucus. They were invited to do so but they did not propose to compromise themselves by so doing. Our Sen ator Mitchell, however, forgot that he once stood with these senators for free coinage. Portland Dis patch. , From a report of the county clerk of Clatsop county, it is fig ured out that each vote in that county was cast at cost of BO cents. This would make elections come pretty high in the backwoods counties; and yet it is an open question whether those held in this county do not run those figures a close race. One thing is sure, every ballot cast in Multnomah county costs in the neighborhood of 20 cents for printing ilone. Good price this, but they must be print ed just the same. Tomahawk. The register, Col. R. A. Miller, has been receiving an unusually large number of letters from per sons living throughout the east and south, inquiring about public lands and the state in general. Heretofore such letters were only received from people living in the middle west, but.it is thought that these letters are the result of ad vertising by the board of trade and the immigration board.

Don't Wear long Hair and an Air o DUhabllle. In seeking to win the affection and friendship of women, deur boys, you. will find dress an important thing tube considered, says a woman writer. Although I will not go as far as to say that a woman's heart has ever been broken by a badly-Umslied hat, I have known a woman to look at a bulging shirt bosom and decide that even if she could ever consent to pillow her head upon such an uueomfortablc-lookiiig spot the loud vivacity of the waistcoat beneath would make rest there quite impossible. I am not going to tell you what to wear. That is the work of mightier intellects than mine.' And there are the young lady male imjier sonators of (he variety stage to copy. Thee represent the woman's ideal of man's clothing. I may, however, prove myself usef ul in telling you what not to wear. To bejrin with, there Is one rule you should have written on your mir rors. It is this: Do not dress like a genius, even if you are one. The average woman has a strong aversion to go out with a gentleman who because laurel wreaths have gone out of fashion substitutes for them long hair, short trousers, decollete shirts and a generally carefully ar ranged dishabille. The average woman is a silly little thing, you know, and she would rather that you looked commonplace and well groomed than that every newsboy should be able to tell that she is walking with ar. intellectual giant. As for the woman above the average wen, she knows that you'ro not n genius, anyhow. You can't fool her (llumnn Coat. An English authority informs us that an audience of 3,0110 people, listening for two hours to a concert, are not only cul tivating and indulging their musical taste, but are engaged in the somewhat prosaic occupation of producing no less than 100 weight of coal and 17 pollom of water from the impurities and moist me of their own brenth. mid that if they were all performingthemselves, instead of listening, this quantity would be nearly doubled. It is far more whole some to drink the undiluted water of the Thames at Blackwall tlinn to breathe the air of a crowded and unventilnted I room, and how clennly people can bej content to do so is only explicable on the principle that what the eye doesj not see "the hearttdoes not grieve over.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There .is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
