Terrible, bent in reported on the 1'a cilic count of Mexico. According to the census. Portland con tains a population of 35,801 . Nearly one hundred typewriters are , employed in the census bureau at Wash ington. A Hungarian' lawsuit has just been sett'ed after having been in ttie courts lor 470 years. During the last year no lens than 6, 000,000 letters and packages reached ttie (lead-letter ollice. Wallace, Idaho, the great mining camp of the t'iBur d'Alene, was almost entnely destroyed by fire last bunday. A syndicate of English and Dutch capitalists have purchased five million acres of land and 75,000 head of cattle in Texas. Tho other day a woman was fined at Emporia, Ivarmas, for using profane lan guage, and a preacher was sued for his boa id bill. The supreme court of Michigan lias decided that a woman is a person, and can legally till the position of deputy county clei k. One bundled and twenty-five suits are pending against the Klectiic Car com pany of Knston, asking for $UJ2,00U damages by accident. . The beet sugar fever has struck Can , aila, and a large plant for the manu facture nf the product is to he started in the province of Ontario. Stanley's book "In Darkest Africa" is meeting a large sale in England. A line edition of 18,11011, copies sold at 10, 10s., has alieady been exhausted. The total exports of crude and relined petroleum f "in the Atlantic pints from January 1 t In date have been !(.S7,4iMi, 000 galions.a decrease of IO,1'.'J,000. The new bridge autlmi ized by con gress to be built across the Hudson river between New Ymk and Jeisev City will be 7,0 HI feet long and have one eential span ,8)0 feet in length. The most densely populated Ripiare mile in the win Id is not in China or I'el giuui, but in the cily of New Ymk, and that is inhabited by 270.1100 people, the linger part of whom aie Italians. At least twelve persons were killed and between twenty and thiity injured by a cyclone last. Satin day at Smith Lawrence, Massachusetts. Property to the amount of (.100,0110 was destroyed. A man in Huston is not only an old Mexican war veteran hiiiHelf, hut it has just been discovered that he has been impersonal iug four other old vets and drawing their pensions for several yeais. The largest plank in the woild has been sawed out at Falk's Klk river mill, f I in ii I 1 1 1 1 county, Cal., for the world's fair. It is 111 feet 5 inches wide, 12 feet long and four inches thick. It will be haul to beat. The scheme of voting for "the hand somest giil," "the most popular man," etc., is something to he avoided. A New Ymker publishes instances where such voting has led to eleven murdurs in the last eighteen months. A Cine iunnlian who drove an express wagon, and was worth less than Jii'.HI in propeity, died the other day, and his wife hail a funeral which cost filL'O and left her only a horse and wagon on hand and without food enough in tho house for supper. There is a plague of moths in Brook lyn and the suburbs of New Yoik. They make their appearance at about the twi light hour, and in the gloaming are mis taken for bats. The moths are big, some of them measuring, four inches with out spread wings. In ease of war with a foreign nation this government could raise live men to i-veiy one she had in the civil war, ami that probably without resetting to the draft. Financiers suy that she could also raise (..") now easier than she could raise a dollar in 1800. A Nashville wife, being left alone in the house at night, hear a burglar try ing to enter by a rear window. She got out a big revolver, shut her eyes and dialed awav, and down fell a mule worth I'.MO that had got out of the stable and was wamleiing around the gaiden. Joseph Shannon, the lYnn Ivania man who was beaten out of 0 000 by tin on caul limine men, says he hail read the tiii'K ill the pa pei. a bunded times, but supposed it was something put in to fill upon, lie was lllled uppietiy lull, and he w ill believe every woul in the papers aitoi this.

The Illinois board of horticulture has decided to invite the various national, state ami other prominent horticulttnal nnd floral societies and nurserymen and finest ry associations to meet in Chicago mi August -7ili, to take action on the best method of properly representing (he hoi licultuial interests ol the coun try at the world's fair. The recent hot weather and hot winds throughout the Arkansas valley finished up the destruction of many thousand seres of corn.

Fof the HudOet. I suppose a reasonable amount of lying is permissible and even laudable in a paper booming a city or town, but who can measure the length and depth of the whoppers that the Orcgonian, in the interest of Portland and of course its own interests, unblushingly publishes and scatters broadcast every day. " 'Tis true 'tis pity, and pity 'tis 'tis true," that the capitalists who stay in Portland a day or so and are wined and dined, and with their stomachs full of company grub and champagne that would make an an chorite forget his churlishness, and then driven around the city in luxurious silken-lined carriages, upon their return home feel it incumbent upon them as a return for such lavish hospitality to bol ster up the Oregon id it's exaggerations by extravagant confirmations in the daily papers of their ow n particular cities. I venture to say that if these same en thusiastic gentlemen were compelled to live upon Front street and endure its FOI L MALARIAL 000I1H For even a week, or were obliged to live for a month upon any street within half a mile of the sluggish Willamette, they would change their tune about its de lightful climate, and if they could listen to the tales of woe that the homeless, sickly, sallow victims of malarial fever tell about the comfortable homes they have been lured from by the board of immigration, which is run entirely in the interest of western Oregon, bucked up by the potential Oregmtiun and these same deluded eastern capitalists, they might alter their opinion of the "heav enly climate, quite like Italy, you know." (I!y, the way, the climate of Italy in some parts is execrable ) And if they knew that the retail merchants were begging people to buy at cost what they couldn't sell in the spring at a rea sonable profit; if they would give an audience to the persuasive drummers who have wasted their eloquence upon meichanls whose stores were full of last year's goods and have deserted as rich relatives do their poor ones, the dazzled eyes of the eastern magnates would be opened and they would write finis upon their Arabian Nights stories in their eastern homes. Portland is A nUAllTIKI I, TOWS, Not so huge, though, as tho census makes it out, for one twentieth of its inhabitants are constantly on the wing, and many of the names of these flitters were taken by the census enumerators. Then again, the merchants who have so much at stake that they desperately linger in Portland, cherishing the for lorn hope of better limes, might easily swell the census by the addition of many John Mini I lis among their em ployees. Over my bead is a lodging house of many rooms, the inhabitants of which, with a few exceptions, onlv remain several weeks, and then they pack, their trunks, or handbags, as the case may be, and bio them to "the Sound." Whether they stay there is more than I know , hut I'm certain that they leave Poitlaud never to return un less they hare to pass through on the way back to their former homes in the east. Very frequently these flitters ar rive in carriages, but they invariably leave in the street cars or on foot. 1 don't want to be doleful, but it is pit iful to see bo many CRi'siii:n nones. It is useless to say that the energetic, plodding, tenacious people never fail of meeting with success. We all know among our acquaintances men and women who have stiiven so hard to reach the goal of their ambition that stiength and life gave out ere they could grasp the top round; a blight coming over their prospects, and for some rea son they wilted just as roses Bometimes do after giving promise of a perfect blossoming. And then they think "per haps thev did not enrich the ground enoiiih, or pin haps did not water them enough ;" for, man alone, in spite of Ins boasted strength, must have some lever, some sustenance, or his best en dcavoia will blight just as the roses do; for just as fertilizers and moisture assist the uneeu of fioweis to her regal glorv. just so important are the levers of iin- poitnnt liiemls and good opportunities. So if Ihe tenacious toiler never is able to giasp these levers, the time must come when they will falter and fail. If the toiler is an ordinary man he will blow his brains out and go out in smoke to blissful mice' taint v ; but if the victim of unrequited labor is an extraordinary woman, she will liopctullv toil till the dear recipients of her self-sacrifice fondly close her eyelids and robe her, like a Imde, for her glorious (male, "Where the wicked cease bom troubling and the weary are at rest." " SLATE WRITERS." Portland is garnering an unusually large crop of "slate writers," but no one seems to get any communications except gullible believers. Recognizing the fact I li.it so many women work for their i "protectors" for (as Susan It Anthony says) "their boaid ami lodging," the "fair sex" are onlv charged a dollar. w hile the gentlemen have to pay double that amount. A lady tnend of mine, w ho has ii not unusual habit of calling her husband "pa," asked her departed baby son if "pa" had better go to Paget sound or slay here. Naturally, the me dium thought the question was ad dressed to a dead brother, and the answer came: "No; tell our father to stay here and keep on communicating with me at two dollars a visit. I'll give him good advice." (Signed) "Brother." And then underneath ap pealed the picture of a middle-aged 1(140 With I'ing bard f opposed to he likeness of the spirit brother. But this communication was nothing to that re ceived bv a ladv whose only marriage I occurred late in life, several years ago. It was from her son, who-was supposed to have departed at the age of nine, so long ago that he described himself as a man, and gave his mother good advice, as precocious youths will do on occa sion, lint the " TIIBOSOI'IIISTS " Take the cake. The other evening I sat alongside one of them, a woman weigh ing over two hundred, and certainly not suggesting anything very ethereal, with a pronounced moustache on her upper lip, who, to my frank confession that I didn't exactly understand what a The osophist was, informed me it was ar riving at a condition w here one's soul wiib merged in that of (jod. "We ac cept," she added, waving a huge hand toward the lady speakers on the stage, "these Spiritualists as a lower order of mediums; hut not being in direct con tact with (jod as we Thcosophists are, of course they are infeiiors in every way." So of course having graduated in a higher school, she will charge much more for her celestial messages. I wish the opponents of woman suffrage, upon the ground that my sex is "mentally incapable of understanding politics," could see the number of bald-headed men who are "taken in anii done for" by these smart female knaves.

Scott, of Helix, thinks the grain out his way will average fullly twenty live bushels to the acre. That bo far threshed is of No. 1 quality. The Indians are preparing for a big bunt. Chief Homily and bis followers will leave in a few days on a hunting ami fishing expedition into the Grande Uonde valley. The hardware firm of Allen & Elam, of Milton, has dissolved partnership, Mr. Allen retiring. It is very probable that Mr. Alien will engage in business in Spokane Falls. So numerous are trout near Puidy's warm springs that it is said angleis cap ttne lish merely for sport and after wards throw them away. Indians are complaining at this wasteful practice. S. 11. Walker, from Pilot Rock, says lie encountered myriads of dead grass hoppers on the road to Pendleton- He thinks the hoppers, after cleaning out all the gardens on Birch creek, had nothing to subsist on and staived to death. E. S. McComas, of the Freewater Ht'rtthl, liaH about, completed arrange ments lor constructing an electric motor line from Freewater to Walla Walla, a distance of ten miles, l'ower will he furnished bv Pelion wheels, using water fiom the Walla Walla river. While removing a rabbit from his fa vorite shepherd dog's mouth, Frank lvissenger, a herder near l'ilit Ijock, was terribly bitten n the hamand be came unconscious. When he recovered, the dog, winch had been showing sign" of sickness for several days, was lying dead by his side with his hand stiil in its mouth. Seven days afterward, last Saturday, he developed symptoms of. insanity, was brought to Pendleton, ad judged insane and sent to Salein. On the way he began to baik and snap like a dog, and there Is now little doubt that ho lias hydrophobia. Athena Press. Harvest hands are in demand at from ifl.oO to 2 50 per day. A. W.' Sweeney has 1,800 acres of wheat which is almost ready lor har vesting. There is scarcely a farm in the vicin ity of Athena but what is ador ned w ith a w indmill. Blackberry pickerg report the crop considerably lighter this year than last. This is accounted for by the late, cool spring. Jeny St. Dennis, on the reservation, lias already quite a lot of wheat threshed and teams are hauling it in to the ele vators. He delivered the first new wheat of the season. Already the growl of the separator and the crack of the horse power driv er's whip rents the air with music on all sides of town. Harvest is begun in earnest. Some threshing machine out fits will have from GO to 00 days' run. ami there are about twenty of them in this vieinitv within a radius of six miles. HOHN, HttlllKK-Near lleppner.

DON'T Ul; A JM U.TI HTIE, If advertising doesn't pay, why is it that the most successful merchants of every town, large or small, are the heaviest advertisers? If it doesn't pay to advertise, why do the heaviest business firms in the world annually spend millions that way ? Is it because they want to donate those millions of dollars to the newspapurand magazine publishers, or because they don't know as much as The short-sighted merchant who says money spent in adver tising is thrown away, or is donated to the men to whom it is paid? They advertise for the same reason that they buy at wholesale anil sell at retail because there is money in it.
