Li:ai year la whirling along to ward a close and many a fair creature who has been sleeping on opportunities, might just as well be reposing elsewhere. China lias her troubles. She just now winces under a rebellion in Formosa. Just 100 years ago an uprising in that Island cost tho lives of 100,000 Chinese.; Pkei'm: arc freezing to death in tho Now York blizzards. Hero the button-hole bouquets are ripening out of doors, and spring lamb and green peas are in tho market. It Is time for a revival of reading, writing and arithmetic In tho pub lic schools. Clay-modeling and music aro nice accomplishments, but tho children when grown can not handlo mud for their board nor Blng for their supper. Viknna hclentlllo societies have been investigating tho wonderful "weather plant" discovered some timeago, anditissaid that Its weath er foretelling properties havo been thoroughly verified. Tho marine department of tho Austrian War Department is to give tho plant a trial on shipboard. IIekaci: Gm:i:i.KY told this story of himself: Soon after ho went to learn tho printing business ho went to hco n preacher's daughter. Tho next time lie attended meeting ho was considerably astonished at hear ing tho minister announce as his text: "My daughter Is being griev ously tormented with a dovll." SwiNimuuxn bolng asked to send to a magazine a bit of verse, of "uot more than sixteen lines," answered: "I fear I can hardly undertake to supply verso to order, In point of length or otherwise, and in any case 1 should certainly not think It worth while to lot a magazine have tho flixt fruits of anything of mine for less than $50." Gun. Riikuidak'b grave at Ar lington Is now marked only by a largo lint stone, which covers it en tirely, and projects above tho sur face about ono Inch. Tho stono Is an Immense cubic block which was tho base of a column of tho old War Department building, and It weighs about three tons. It is sunk Into tho earth, and rests upon a brick vault about tho collln. The guard luis been withdrawn.

Dr. Spitzka was the physician who examined Guiteau as to his sanity before his trial, and who dis sected his brain after he was hanged. A portion of Guiteau's brain is now In his possession. "When it was mentioned to Dr. Spitzka that many people still believed Gltcau to have been a victim of Insanity, he stated that Insanity was impossible in Guiteau's case, and was proved afterward by dissecting his brain. By way ot demonstration Dr. Spitz ka exhibited a couple of malformed brains. The iirst one is that of an insane person who was hanged for murder, tho other is a brain of a young girl who witnessed a railroad accident at White Plains some years ago, in which her mother was run over and killed by the cars. The shock unbalanced her mind, and she was insane till death came to her relief. Doth of these brains are lopsided or crooked. One side of each is enlarged, and tho spinal cord is seemingly misplaced. The brain being "unbalanced." tho mind of each was unbalanced in proportion. Guiteau's brain had no such defects, and was in a healthy condition not a single trace ot insanity was found. UVUIY WOKD TltUK. "We wish to reiterate for the sako of our eastern readers that the ther mometer ranges from 45 to 52 du ring tho day, that ilowers are bloom ing in the dooryards and that the hills are green with waving grass. Stock still have abundant pasturage and the plows aro turning tho soil up to tho air. Is there any other country in tho same latitude that can make as good showing? We think not, and wo add that there is room hero yet for millions. Tho best climate in tho world, tho most prolific soil, the most abundant natural resouices are hero combined, and tho name of all is OltEGON. Tuesday tho new law requiring tho execution of murderers to bo done by electricity goes into cfl'ect In New jYork. Tho law Iprohibits tho publication of tho details of ex ecutions. The World has inter views with tho leading editors of New York city on tho course they mean to pursue in tho matter. The great majority of them declare that they Mill utterly disregard tho law and publish all the facts in connec tion with tho executions which come Into their posesslou. Tin: swiftest bird ou tho wing Is the frigate bird, a sort of nautical bird of prey. Sailors believe that It can start with tho peep of dawn from tho coast of Africa, and, fol lowing tho trade wind, land on tho American coast boforo sunset. It can undoubtedly fly moro than 200 miles mi hour, but wo do not know of any trustworthy record of tho speed of which it is capable. Tbe 1'oultry ltuslncss. Tho question of poultry raising a receiving considerable attention from tho people of this valloy. Tho high prices which the people havo to pay for chickens and eggs, the great majority of which is Imported from the East, has had tho efl'ect of starting an agitation of tho question of why moro of our peoplo do not engage in tho business. Tho pres ent prices every consumer has to pay for tho products of tho poultry yard Insure to tho person who would engago In tho business hero a hand soiuo profit for their tlmo and labor, for tho homo market is practically inexhaustible A person familiar with tho business with a small capi tal and a few acres of land win tuako a good Income right from tho start. This Ib an advautago to peo plo of small means who cannot wait for tho coming into bearing of a fruit orchard. Every dollar that wo pay out for eggs and chickens goes out of circulation here, and is carried East. Tills is all wreng: wo havo every facility, climate, etc., for tho proiRT carrying on of the bust, ness and there is no reason why wo should not ouly supply our own .market but also ralson surplus to send to other markets. There is a good fluid for money making In this business right hero In our vicinity for tho party who will commence operation. With chickens always Belling from boventy-flvo conts each and upwards, and eggs from thirty to forty-live cents per dozen, tiioro can be no question about tho suc cess of tho entorprlse. Thoro is cheap laud throughout tho valloy that Is entirely suitable. Tho item of location need not necessarily be very high, while the stock required iobtart with is but a small Item. We cannot help but think there Is a good fleld ottered lu tho business for the man of Binall menus. RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

One had charge of the wite that went west and connected with St. Louis and down south to New Orleans. The other had the wire that went to Albany, New York, Philft. delphia and Washington, and down to New Orleans that nay. The operator wauted to borrow a knife from tbe other, but he daren't ask for it because the superiutendent was walking up aud down on tbe other side within hearing distance. So the fellow on the New Votk wire tele graphed through New York, Philadelphia, Washington, and New Orleans and bok by Toledo and Cleveland to the fel low on the other wire to have him slide the knife over to him, and the fellow did MkutMIIm of Wire. The Western Union people have added 90,000 miles to their system during the past -year, Forty six thousand mile of this were, of course, required by the put chase of the Baltimore and Ohio lines. Five thousand miles more were taken in with another small company, but 40,000 miles have actually been (built and paid for out of earnings. When the reflection is made that 90,000 miles ot wire will go rounrt the earth nearly four timet, some idea of what this increase actually amouta to may be arrived to. ?.
