It Is well known that tho constitu tion of tho United States frowns upon titles und orders of nobility, yet there nro muny nativo born Americans whose dignities rango from the humbler or ders of knighthood to tho exalted rank of princes. And I am not now alluding to heiresses who havo been raised to tho peerage by marriage. Theso in stances nro already familiar to tho public. What is less known is tho fact that many American men havo won a similar elevation by direct grant from a foreign crown. Tho famous scientist, Count Rum ford, was a plain Now England Yankee named Thompson, who went abroad, attracted general attention by his chemical discoveries, aud was ennobled by the king of Havario, In our own day.s Edison has been mado a count, nnd Pullman, of parlor car fame, a uianmis. by King Humbert, but neither of them cares to bport the tltlo aud it is only alluded to in u jocular fashion by their friends. Tho popo has con ferred the order of chovalier on several Americans, tho most notable being tho millionaire, Joseph Brannignn, of Providence. Tho father of Edgar Saltus was knighted by Queen Victoria, and has tho right to call himself Sir Francis Saltus, but has tho good tasto never to eserciso that right. Marmaduko Rich ardson, a well known Now Yorker, was mado a count by King Humbert, but never sports the title. There are mnny Americans now living abroad who are not so modest A certain American criminal, well known to tho polico here ns Max Slilnbaum, and by numerous otlior aliases, is now living in Belgium as Baron Shinbaum. And a former Bostonian, Charles Hamilton Fisko by namo, mado his ap pearanco In Wurtemborg a year or two ago as tho Count do Vcrnois, aud for a period enjoyed tho highest favor of the king, until ho was deposed by con certed action on tho part of tho nativo nobility. In both theso cases It Is not certain that the titles wcro genuine, although it is quito possiblo that they may have been acquired by purchase, an easy btep on tho continent of Europe. Genu ine Spanisli titles, for example, may bo bought pretty cheap, tho prico ranging from 30,000 francs for a countship to 800 for a knightship. In Italy, tho de cayed nobility aro entitled to adopt strangers as their sons for a monetary consideration, and tho adoption carries with it such titular dignity as would be tho birthright of a real son. Tho consideration, as a rule, is not largo. A Now York journalist, now living abroad, is said to havo purchased tho titlo of "Prince Chiaidini" for a moro trillo of seventy-flvo dollars. To conclude, an instance of titled Ameri can citizens born on American soil is afforded by tho children of tho Mar chioness Lanza, tho novelist, all of whom aro members of tho Italian, no bility.

A Maino family consists of six broth ers so exactly aliko that no ono but their closest friends can tell which Is which. One day thoy happened to bo in a strango town and all wanted a shavo. Ono of them went into a bar ber fchop, was shaved and paid tho cus tomary ten cents. Fivo minutes later apparently tho samo man camo back into tho fehop very wrathy, his beard bristling with a tlireo days' growth. He swore that ho had not been half shaved, and demanded that' tho work bo douo over. Tho astonished barber apologized and complied, but judgo of his horror when not ten minutes later his custom or came back madder than over, his beard still showing on his face, and do manded another shavo. Again tho barber, after soino protest, complied, but when his man returned tho fourth limn it Mas too much. "Seo herol" ho cried, "if you'ro try Ing to sell mo somo patent hair raiser I'll take your wholo stock, but If you aro an csenped museum freak cither you've got to got out or I'll havo to closo this shop-" Tho ilfth und sixth brothers had to pay for their shaves. Lowiston Jour nal. Wliero C'urljlo und lluaklu Differed. Thomas Carlylo was a dovoteo to tho pipe, and ho vainly sought to break oil the fnbulimtion. Ho in Fald to lmvo umashcd no loss than thirteen "cuttles" on the lioarthbtonu of his Ecclcfechan cottago, with tho vow that ho would Miioko no moro. Hut ns sure as tho next day camo he would bo found puff ing at a now one. "Tobacco suioko," ho writes, "is thi ono nlement in which by our European manners mon can nit silent together without ombarnwHiiient, and when no man Is bound to speak ono word moro than ho has virtually und actually got to suy." UuskJn, however, who nped Carlylo In so many things, has never Imitated him in this. A groat pity, for Carlylo found that It tranquiliod Irritability. Why tthould not RuskJn havo found tho tamo?

As such It was mainly from bulem uud vicinity. Tako out Salem's contributions nnd there would not have been enough to speak of. Other counties in tho stuto will next year do well to send fruit exhibits hero. So It was practically n S.tlcni ex hibit that people admired. Ttit ft ult palace was almost exclusively a Salem fruit exhibit. Barring two wagon loads from Sllvertou, the entire exhibit camo from Salem aud Its adjoining hills, prairies nnd river bottoms. Salem and vicinity de servo credit for makiue fruit tho distinctive feature of tho fair. It was worth preserving as a mat ter of horticultural history that tho fmlt palace at thostato fair this year could not be UuNhed as whs do signed for lack of apples. Tho de sign ot the roof was to bo a brilliant ellect In highly colored apples. They wcro -scarce. Old orchards wcro found to bo nearly decayed Young orchards were baldly nonio Into bearing. By 1S93 tho young orchards will be in their glory. The fruit display this year fit traoted wido attention. It was spoken of by all who attended tho fair and will continue to be a sourco of prido as a theme of conversation until this display is surpassed. Peo ple nt Portland who did not visit tho fair are all saying: "Wo hear you had a good fair this year. Your fruit show was imineuso." This is tho fact to keep before tho public, that our fruit show was simply immense. If tho whole world is not set talking about tho richness of tho Willamette valloy us a fruit region It Is tho fault of those who ou u fruit lands und who grow fruit. This year's fruit ex hibit must convince anyone that tho way to get u displuy of fruit at tho worldV fair Is not by relying up on legislative appropriations, fed eral comnilnsiouerii, or any public olllclals whatever, but by tho fmlt mon and fruit land owneis them selves relying on their own enter prise, Tho proper way to get up nn exhibit for Oregon nt Chicago Is the same way thut Salem pursued In getting up its exhibit at the stuto fair. The exhibit to be vajimblo -Jiid representative must bo got up by tho enterprise of the fruit men themselves. Thut is how tho fruit paluco was put up. Tho fruit men did It by their own ouprgles. They .raised tho money, rulsed tho exhibit. Thoy raised a success out of nothing but tho natural resource-) of tho country. That Is tho way to raise It at Chicago. Tho Salem fruit exhibit at thostato hilr ought to convince anyonu that a more organization of tho fruit growers of tills state ought to eiiBtiro tho finest displny of fruit possiblo at tho world's fair. &s&m ABSOLUTELY PURE IS IT A I'MSAHUUKIO IJH AHSI8KIV That is tho only Inference' (o be drawn from an editorial In a Port land conleinporury. If It Is, it Is mi amusement that nearly every one enjoys avoiding. Tho Telegram concludes th.it becuuao property Is rated higher ny thonsscssorln Wash ington than In Oregon, thorofnro thut Is tho moro blessed region. So indlguuut does Tho Telegram man grow over tho low valuations for tux-gntherlng purposes that wo muy behold 111 in spreading his wings uud taking Illicit to u neighboring olyidum of high taxation. Ho shows that Washington bus an assessed vuluatlon of $140,000,000 over lust your, but does not present any figures for Oregon on this subject. Iloussumes thut by tho stupidity or chicanery of Its legislature, Oregon will bo shown to havo only one-half tho assessed valuation of Washing ton, From his argument wo infer that had its legislature uulcd dlllor enlly und done Unduly every Oregon taxpayer might enjoy tho inestima ble privilege of paying on a larger valuation and being plucked of moro taxes. This attitude of a renowned opH)iient of alleged turlf! tuxi-s Is surprising. It Is virtually uu In dictment of Oregon because property Is ussoised reasonably and taxes aro not as high us In Washington. In that statu the wholo farm Is taxed to its owner whether it Is mortgaged tor all it Is worth or not, In Ore gon debts uro deducted from a man's property and he Is not taxed ou his Indebted lies. The Oregon tax law is imperfect and Home of Km opera tions indefensible. But surely It Is belter to be taxed too llttlo than too much. People will hardly consider the honor of shining in the news papers as victims of a high tuktessed valuation, and higher taxes to oor respoud, as worth what it, would coit them. The tax paying seasou U not a honeymoon of enjoyment for the citizen oi any state. THE I'KOl'Li: V9- THK COItVOnA TIONS, It Is to be hoped tho contest in Oregon, between tho laws enacted by tho peoplo on ono hand and tho hlgh-haudcd fruudulout methods of tho corporations ou tho other will not bo settled on tcchnlllties. Tho basis of tho Issuo must bo kept squarely between tho producers and tho speculators In Wall street. Tho Issuo Is squarely botweon Jay Gould aud tho farmers. Controlling tho securltcs of tho Pacific railways In Oregou, tho Jay Gould crowd of watered stock man ipulators 'aro battling for high freight rates to pay charges on this watered stock. It runs into tha hudreds of millious. It is held in Wall street in tho nnmo of California million aires. It Is gambled with by day und night. A hundred millions of It cau bo shown to represent not a milllou iu actual capital Invested. Yet It Is on this vast capitalization that tho Oregou railroad commission is asked to baso its rates of freight aud forever levy tribute for this fraudulent capital upon tho farmers of Oregon. Tho commission has acted. It has used tho power placed In Its hands by the legislature. It has used Its power wisely und fairly uud tho corporation muuagers nro seeking to multiply Its rates of freight by techulullty. Tho issuo is too broad and too plain and involves too much to bo settled on a few technical points. Tho theory of tho Wall street spec ulators is that all their Issues of watered stock, all leases with other companies to absorb earnings, till contracts with construction com panies to enrich ofllclals, all fruudu lout enterprises whatever, nro to bo considered as legitimuto elements in forming a basis for freight rates. Suulcelt to say, that no Intelligent court or public olllclul will ontorluln tho watored stock Idea of fixed char ges. Hates of freight must bo based upon tho presont value of tho prop orty ascertained by what itcofts to now construct such a property as u given railroad on which rates aro to bo lixed. Past manipulations of securities cannot bo considered from uny theory of representing public Interests. A rOINTKK ON IHH1H.

Tho news of tho capturo of Sauna by tho rebels In Yemen, says a Coustuautiuoplo dispatch, Is almost a stunning blow to tho sultan, who for weeks past has been plunged in anxiety over tho situation In Arabia. Western Europeans aro hardly capable of ap preciating the BUltan's feelings on this subject, but to him the fate of Arabia Is of moro importance oven thnn that of Constantinople. Should ho lose coutrol of tho holy cities of the Mohammedan faith, ho would bo divested of nil prestige and be come an object ot contempt aua abhorrence to tils subjects. Ills anxiety regarding this matter la 80 Btrong that It hus nearly driven him Insane. Sana Is tho key to Yemen, and the loss of It Is a most over whelming blow to Turkish supre macy iu that rich and fertile prov ince, and may lead to tho loss of all Arabia. That country now coutalns so veral emirs, who Ignore the author ity of the porto, aud If theso thould unite against Turkey, tho sultan would have n dllllcult war ou his hands. Tho Turkish troops in Yemen wont there without provis ions or monoy, with orders to live on tho country. They won somo suc cess nt llrst, but probably disheart ened by their own condition, they appear to have lost ground. Should Arabia bo separated from tho porte, tho religious passion such uu event would exclto, lu tho opinion of Eu ropeans at Constantinople, would imperil tho life ns well as tho tbroi-o of the sultan.
