The Dalles Mountaineer thinks that if the Oregonian does not let Dick Ger des alone he will land in the senate. We like the tone of the Oregon city papers lately.

As ex-attorney for the for mer he is in a position to make the fur fly should he be disposed. Dr. Wm.

Our prediction is this : If you want to enjoy sleigh riding from De cember to April, order your bells from King A Co., Owego, New York. Nibbs A Bergevin have a full sized steel buggy in the shop painting, which is the nicety of perfection. It was built by W. T. Booth. Aside from the spokes and box there isn’t two pounds of wood in the entire vehicle, yet a man can shoulder it and walk ofl’ with it. Until we saw it in a Portland paper we couldn't find out who owned those handsome Jerseys at the stock ¡»ens. The broiling hot sun made us sicken on our searches. If exhibitors would attach a card to stalls where stock is kept it would facilitate matters much. The Jerseys were from Springer Bros, herd. Salem is full of man-traps. R. A. Logan of this city came near being killed there lately ; and several other accidents have occurred, people been drowned, etc. The latest is from the Statesman . A young fellow, whose name was not learned, drove Cham bers’ cab off the culvert at the inter section of State and Church streets, at a late hour last evening, smashing it up badly.

All favorable to the formation of a choral union are invited to meet at Garrison opera house this even ing. All lovers of music are earnestly requested to be present at 7: 30 o’clock. Some of our exchanges are trying to boom the harboring business by sot ting up for examples such men as Ros coe Conkling and II. W. Scott, men who for twenty-five years kept out of barber shops, but it is like the trick of the New Yorkers who attempted to compel Chinese laundrymen to issue tickets Melican lingo—it wont wash The suggestion that ihe civilized na tions of the world should, by delegates in a convention to be assembled, agree upon a common language to be taught in their respective schools, in addition to other prescribed studies, may not be new, but it is certainly an excellent one, and, if properly taken up, might easily be carried out. It would tend to enlarge commercial intercourse be tween nations speaking different tongues, and thus be a source of ma terial advantage. The autumn political campaign ia rapidly taking shape. Especial inter est attaches to the attidude assumed by the democrats in the different states, as the democratic party, though now in power, is practically on the de fensive, on account of its internal dis sensions. The singular tqiectacle is presented of a president nt odds with tin* bulk of his party, and the party nevertheless forced to sustain lum be cause of the fear that any other course on their part would result in jumping from the frying-pan into the fire. We were honored yesterday by a call from II. E. Burr, of Morrison, Illinois, on a visit to old gentleman Squires. He left home in April last, and has made an extensive trip about the country. Mr. Squire informed us that while it was true that Mr. Burr now hails from Illinois, he is not a “ sucker,” having been born and reared in the land of wooden nut megs. Without the slightest idea of coining a chestnut we remarked that wooden nutmegs never had Burrs. Our visitor expects to return to the east soon. He is well pleased with Oregon.
