Inasmuch as tho cenlcnnlnl anniversary of Ihclnnuguratlon of George Washington no first president of the I'nltcd States will occur on the 30th day of April, Anno Dom ini, 18.4'J, which day has been set apart by nn net of congress as a general holday for the people ol the whole ceuntry: Now therefore, I, Sylvester I'onnoycr, governor of Oregitn, by vlrture of the au thority conferred uhii me by the constitu tion of the state, do hereby declare the aforesaid Tuesday, April JJOtli, 188!), to boa legal holiday; and I do request that It shall bo so observed by tho good people of this commonwealth.

SYLV1 8 l'i;it I'KNNOYEK. At n recent meeting of (lie Acad emy of Sciences the prince of Mon aco raid a paper demonstrating the possibility of shipwrecked people, who have taken to tho bouts and are without provisions, belli"; able to sustain life with what they could catch hi a drag net trailing over board over night. It is no wonder foreigners think the English language sodlfllcultto mus ter when wc think of the great change that (i single letter makes in the pronounclation of It. Tho letter c changes lover Into clover, d makes a crow n crowd, k makes eyed keyed, g changes son into a song, 1 trans forms a pear into a pearl, s changes a hoe into a shoe, t makes bough bought, w makes omen Into women. The Medford Mail has hatched another railway rumor. This time it says it Is currently reported that parlies In the interest of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad are view ing a Hue from Elleusburg, via tho Aplegate, thence to Jacksonville, Medford, Kaglo Point, nnd Deskins, thence to Fort Klamath, to learn the feasibility of a road through tho pass at tho head of Rogue river and the Unipiim. rtrruitij or telhscopks. The success of the giant refracting Lick telescope on the summit of Mount Hamilton in California has been so great that the question of tho limit of size for large telescopes has assumed an ontirely new aspect. When the Washington telescope was completed a dozen years ago many thought that the limit had already been reach!, nnd it was asserted that even If a larger in strument could bo made it would hardly bo wortli the expense and trouble on account of aberrations which could not be overcome. Yet the Lick telescope was, although tho project of constructing such a monster was looked upon as vision ary. Its optical properties are so excellent that atmospheric causes do not filled its performance more than they do that of smaller tele scopes. Now nobody appears to think that the limit litis been readi ed, and the appetite for celestial marvels, awakened by the really wonderful observations at Mount Hamilton has created almost a pub lic demand for a still larger" and more powerful telescope. This has found exnression in several projects for l he construction of such a glass, and one of Ihche has taken the defi nite form of a contract with the Chirks to make a telescope for the univeisity of Southern California having an object-glass forty Inches In diameter. The diameter of the Lick glass is thirty-six inches. Since the light-gathering capacity of an objeel-glafs varies as the square of the diameter it will bo seen that the proposed telescope is to exceed the L'rk telescope in tills respect about -) per wnt. If everything goes well it is thought this new telescope can beset upin ilsdonieon Wilson's Peak In California, within three years, and the optical glass makers of Pari" who cast the discs for the Lick glass are already at work upon a casting for one of tho iO-inch lenses. Over Hip Itnhislcr. Over the baluste bends a face, Dnrllngly sweet and beguiling. Somebody stands In carets grace, And watches the picture smiling. The light burns dim In the hall below, Nobody sees her standing; Saying good night again, soft nnd slow, Ilulf way up the landing. Nobody, only the eyes of brown, Tender nnd full of meaning, That smile on iho fairest face in town, Over the baluster leaning. Tired and sleepy, with drooping hoad, I wonder why she lingers, And when all tho good nights nro snld Why somebody holds her lingers Holds her fingers and draws her down, Suddenly growing bolder, Till her loose hair diops In masses brown Like n mantle over Ills shoulder. Over thebalufctcrsofi, hands fair Itrush his checks like a feather; Bright blown tiossesnnd ducky hair Meet nnd mingle together. There's n question nsked, there's a swift caress, She has flown like a bird from the hall- wny; Hut over tho baluster drops u Yew That shall brighten the world for him nlway.

In Lowndes county, Alabama, there lives a while man whose life history reads like a chapter of genu- lng romance. His name is George Johnson, and ho was n slave before tho war. From force of circum stances he associated with negroes and married a negro woman. He was brought to that state by sluvo traders In his early childhood, and sold to an old gentleman named Johnson, who lived on a splendid prairie plantation in Lowndes coun ty, and owned several hundred slaves. Johnson remembers little or nothing about his early history be fore he fell into the hands of the slave traders. He was picked up in Virginia by thoCarolinas brought to Alabama and sold.

When ho arrived at the facts he found the bladder of the animal was bursted, and that it contained three live snakes, the largest one being about eighteen Inches long and three around. It Is believed that the mare drunk some snako ogus, which went into the bladder and hatched out, as It Is imnoxitlhlo for a live snake, no matter how small, to have gone through any other way."
