W. II. ISYAKS -CLAIM It. IUVIXK Editor Manager. NATUKAI. 3AS. Men of enterprise or companies of men hi miuiy of the eastern states have bored down into tho enrth nd Inserting tubes huvo taken there from oils and gases that huvo hud mucli to do with tho economy of domestic life, and liavo been the wonder of this ago and generation. When petroleum was first discovered in tills manner by Col. O. L. Drake on Oil creek, in Venango county, Ta., Aug. 28, 1850, the excitement was at tho highest pitch, and real estate in that locality ran up to in credulous prices, ears rolled on, and fortunes were made and lost in these enterprises. Tho business finally centered down and became controlled by ono interest, then the gas well was discovered and tho ex citement over the phenomena is almost equal to that of tho oil. Manufacturing cities and towns have sprung up all o.ver these regions while older places not so well situ ated have supplied themselves at enormous expense from the native gas of other localities. Tho follow ing extract from a private letter from tho president of a company organized to bring gas into Rieh nioiid, Indiana, may be used as an illustration, lie said : "Wo have also turned natural gas on to Rich niond blnco 1 received your last. Tho English language has not tho words to do the case Justice. 1 have been unlng it in my home for tho " past two weeks and to say it is grand 1 splendid ! magnificent or any other such words do not express anything compared to tho actual amount of solid comfort and bonellt ono gets from tho natural gas. 1 uso it in my cook stove, furnace, grates, and also for lights and to say It is perfect in all theso uses does not half express It. .lust think, how handy, all you huvo to do Is turn a little valve, while sitting in your easy chair and you huvo at once a good, warm lire in every part of the house. This is truly an ago of pro gress! And tho question in my mind now is, 'YVlmt next1." "When T alt hero and look at the tiro burn ing In the grates, 1 let my mind run along tho lino of pipes, up hill ami down, across stream and through wood and Held and finally down an clght-luch hole ono thousand feet deep fifty mile from here where I urn watching tho result and can but say It docs seem truly wonder ful J It took Just sixty days, with a force of over ilvo hundred men to accomplish this result. Fifty miles to tho well, twenty-three miles of pipes In Richmond, and $530,000 of capital covered tho expenses." Why can Oregon not huvo some of these advantages Salem with ti natural Kiis well would huvo Its future assured. News comes from California" that already much uneasiness is mani fested regarding whether or not sufficient labor can bo secured to harvest next year's crop of grain, hops, fruit and grapes. The fact that great numbers of Chinese who have heretofore been depended upon to harvest the crops are leaving for China, (and none returning, causes this anxiety. Col. Bee, the Chinese consul, has made tho follow ing statement: "If Chinese labor ers continue to leave this country as they have been doing the last three months, we will soon bo with out them. Since the passing of the Scott exclusion bill, 2043 Chinese have left on different China steam ers, and not over seventy-five have landed. On the Pacific coast to-day there are not over G5,000 Chinese all told, and not over 90,000 in the whole country. More than two thirds of those are laborers, while the balance are women, children, merchants and students. As re gards calls for help, the Alaska can ners are in the worst fix of all. They have made arrangements to double their output next season, and now cannot get the necessary Chinese labor, although they aro offering 1.40, and even $1.50 per day. Cali fornia needs about 30,000 more la borers who can afford to Work five months in the year, say from June 1st to November 1st, and then rest the other seven months, or seek other employment. " UNIVERSITY NOTES. Points of Personal Jlcnton and. Notes of News. A sSOLAK KCLIPSi:. To-morrow afternoon an eclipse of tho sun will be visible to the peo ple of the western part of the United States. In California tho eclipse will be total, and already scientists and astronomers from all over tne world have selected points in tho state wlicro they may witness the sight. Here the eclipse will be par tial, and providing tho weather is fair and the sky clear, thousands of smoked glasses will undoubtedly be brought into requisition. For the benefit of tlioso interested the fol lowing summary is given : Tho eclipse begins at 1 h. 4 mln. p. m., at a point in the Pacific ocean about .'150 miles west of San Diego, (Jul.; that is, tho penumbra first touches the surface of the eartli at this point. The shadow of the moon first touches the earth at 2 h. 20 mill, at another point In tho Pacific ocean about 2500 miles West of Vancouver's Island, and hero tho total eclipse begins. Tho path of tho total eclipse is about sixty miles wide, and meets tho western coast of tho United States a few miles north from San Francisco at about 2 h. 20min. p. m. From this point tho path of the total eclipse runs through the coun try in a nearly northeasterly direc tion and terminates in Canada, near tho eastern border of Lake Winni peg, at 4 It. 10 mln. p. m. Tin: following actually occurred In a certain locality in this place re cently, says the TruekeelRepubllcnn. A lady teacher was instructing a young class in tho meaning of dif ferent, words chiefly by illustration. At length the word "husband" was reached. To mako it clearer to them she said: "Supposing that I should get married, what would it bo that I would have?" For a few moments their little heads wcro busy trying to comprehend what It was, when ono blight little fellow with his countenance beaming with satisfaction at having solved the problem shouted eut: "A luiuy, ma'am."

Tin: New York Tribune says: "Women aro studying inediclno In England In thorough earnest. At tho recent examinations at London University, ten ot tho nineteen passes for honors were takeh by women. In anatomy they took three of the six honors. In physi ology they secured four out of six. In materia inedicn only did they fall behind, and even there they got throe out of seven honors. In tho face of such a record tho opponents of medical education for women are feeling a trifle uncomfortable" Tuk United Stutos Supremo Court decides that a life insurance policy is not u part of tho estato of an Insolvent debtor, and cannot bo claimed by his creditors.

An Ansonia lawyer uns sitting on the steps at tho Central House in Newtown when a pretty young lady passed out of the hotel and up the street. "Thero noes a remarkably prettyjjirl," exclaimed a gentleman conversing' with him, "and thero's quite a little romnme connected with her, too." Tho leqal gentleman was all atteution at once a his friend centinued: "She belongs do n in Baltimore ami her father is a wealthy liquor distiller of that city. Shu's (jot a cool $200,000 in her own right and a deci Bivonoas about her that means business. She located at me George liuttl, Hlactt Hock, this summer coming thero all alone. A young mau sittii.g at her table attracted her atteution. She spoke to him one evening after she had mot him but three times, and she broke him up by asking him if ho was married. He replied that ho was too poorly situated for marriage just then; he hadn'c much money and had to support his father. 'Well, I've plenty of money,' she said, 'why don't you mar ry me?' She returned to her homo in Bal timore, told her father about the circum stance, got his coiisunt and returned to Black Rock, with her falher, was married in Bridgeport, and she and her husband are passing the remainder o tho summer in Newtown as happy as turtle-doves."
