4 OREGON EMIGRANrs.5One of the editors of the
Western Expositer, writing from the Kaw village,
thus speaks of one of the companies now on the route
ito Oregon:
"a beautiful prairie, which the wild taste of the
Kaw Indians have settled for their permanent village,
lone hundred miles from independence, is the rendez-
.vous OF the Oregon emigrants, assembled here to COM
'plete their final organization. One hundred and four
wagons arranged IN an oval ring, and linked together
with OK chains form at once an immense caral TO en-
,close the stock, and an impregnable fortress to protect
them. One hundred more wagons encamped in groups
at small distances completes the troop here assembled
(which, d%otting the plain with their snow white covers,
Resembling with a busy multitude plying to and fro
in business of preparation, or herding the cloud of
stock engaged in devouring the luxuriant grass, COM
.blne to helghten In interest a scene full of animation,
sunshine, and excitement. The emigrants have been
engaged during the day in framing and adopting a
system of regulation for their general government,
and in the election of officers. Ok. Walsh, of Cooper
county, Missouri has been chosen captain, Stephen
II. L. Meek, pilot.

there were present, males 421, females I3S, children

The effect of cheap postage in increasing the Post
office revenue, in England, is shown by the late fl
'nancial accounts. The increase of net revenue, i
will be seen, is nearly fifty per cent.
"The gross revenue for the year 1914 was FL, 705,
|O67, giving an increase of nearly fS0,090 as com.
pared with l543. The apparent increase in 1874
the P~ost-ofice returns for lS43 as the standard
of comparison, Is, in each case, more than double the
amount here given but as we stated at the time,
those returns gave the revenue, both gross and net,
too low by about $4,000 The actual increase in
net revenue in 1914 is greater than for any year since
the war, except 1895, when it was f92, 900 and in
1886, when it was fs1 600. From 1910 (the first
year of penny POSTAGE to 1874, the increase of net
revenue is nearly fifty per cent"

RoTATIoN.-The following extract from General
l~Jackson's first Message contains sound doctrines,
(which we commend to the perusal of those superanu-
lated Office holders who are complaining that the
president has made them give place to others, more
deficient and equally entitled to the patronage of the
.Governnaent
al cannot but believe that more is lost by the long
continuance of men in office, than is generally gained

s'The incumbent became an officer with a view to
public benefits, and when these require his removal,
they are not to be sacrificed to private interests. He

ARE enjoyed by the millions who never held office"

The OAK-CURIoUs ExFERIMENr.-Take an acorn
in the fall Of the year, tie a string round if IN such ;
way that when suspended, the blunt end of the acorn,
where the cup was, is upward. Hang it thus pre-
pared in the inside of a bottle, or hyacinth glass, con-
tanning a little water, taking care that the acorn does
rot reach the water within an inch wrap the bottle
all over in flannel. so as TO keep 1t dark and warm,
and put il in a warm place. In three or four weeks
the acorn will have swollen, It's coat will have burst,
and a little white point will make its appearance at
the end opposite the water. The point is the root
the acorn is now changing its nature and becoming
ian oak still, however, it must be stationed in the
dark still 1t must be kept clear of the water, and so
tit must continue till the young root is at least half
IAN inch long.
Then the water may be allowed to rise higher but
lit is only when from the neck or the root, a little
point begins to turn upward, that it is safe to allow
1.-THE water to touch it. AT this time, the acorn has
ceased to be an acorn, and has really become a young
'oak for the little point directing itself upward is the
of that trunk which a century later may
form the timber of a frigate. As soon as the young
stem begins to shoot, the oak will require a dose of
light, a little every day and it also yearns for more
food, so that its root, which In reality is its mouth,
must be allowed to touch the wafer and drink it.
After these events have come to pass, our little
'nursling breathes, and must have air; digests, and
must have light sucks ~greedily, and must have fresh
'water given to its root, which, however, should never
.be permitted to be wholly covered Just that point
|where the stem begins should always be kept out of
water. The pet having been brought to this its
first state of existence, must be kept at the window.
lat first it will be a stout thread, whitish, and cover
led with tiny scales, then the scales Will expand a lit
and then the end will become greener.
Next will appear some little leaves hair will be-
to grow, veins will branch the old scales will
fall of, and by slow degrees the leaves viii arrange
themselves upon the stem, each unfolding from the
bosom of the other. And thus, out of a little starch
gum-for the acorn was not much more-mani=
fold parts will be curiously produced by the w~ondrous
creative powers of Chronicle.

General Washington was the first who set the
of sending a market cart, with vegetables,
and other products, to the cities of the District
of Columbia. There are those now living in Alex
who speak with much pleasure and pride, of
having seen the Pater Patrie himself at the Alexan-
'dria market; and of having often purchased vegeta-
bles in that market, from the Mount Vernon estate.
AT a later period, Mrs. Monroe used to supply the
Washington market with very fine fresh butter from
Presidents farm in Loudon. So says a cores
of the Journal of Commerce.

i'm their harness to their hay, drive their horses in
their carriages with their whips; we walk with their
sticks, ride on their saddles, write on their paper,

these blessings, we marry their pretty girls, who
make the best of wives"

~GALvANIsM.-A writer in the Journal of Com
merce says tat the use Of galvanism in promoting
the growth of plants is spoken of as something new
The Tribune mentions an experiment wherein a plant
was made to grow thfee-fourths of an inch in twelve
hours, by this means. But he is credibly informed
that this mode of forcing rapid vegetation has beer

1t is p~ractised in India by the jugglersant
Fakirs for the entertainment of the vulgar. A
gentleman mentioned to him some extraordinary ex

'or two ago. In these instances, they were put in th'
ground, covered with a basket, frequently watered
and the plants grew six inches in half an hour.

IAN intense anxiety to engage In that service. To

cants, and 50 pressing and urgent were their demands
to be engaged, that they crowded on him and made so
much noise and clamor in support of their respective
claims, pretensions, and recommendations, that he
could neither hear, nor be heard, and gave up as a bad
job the task of explaining his views to them verbally.
He finally stated that he would give them the desired
information through the public papers, and the crowd

PROPAGATION OF SoUND.-In No. SO. of the Quar-
terly Review, the following statement is made:
s'When the ground is hard and dry, or rests upona
stratum of rock, sound is propagated to a
great distance; and hence it is the practice in many
countries, to ascertain the approach of horsemen BY.
applying their ear to the ground. The sound of can
non has been heard at a great distance. Guns dis
charged at Carlsrona were heard as far as Denmark,
a distance of at least one hundred and twenty miles,
In sailing from Asia Minor to Egypt, DIR. Clark heard
the sound of a sea-ight at a distance of one hundred
thirty miles. DR.. Hearn heard guns fired at Stock
holm, at a distance of one hundred and eighty British
miles and the cannonade of a naval engagement be-
tween the Dutch and English, in 1872, was heard
across England as far as Shrewsbury, and even in
Wales, a distance of about two hundred miles,"

LANGUAGE AND CLIMATE.-In all hot countries men
in speaking, a multitude of vowels, which are
jail pronounced by the greater or less apertures of the
mouth, in breathing and In speaking, and use very
few consonants, all of which are produced by more or
less complete interruption of the breath, and contact,
'or even closure of parts among the organs of speech.
IF we examine the language of Lapland or Green
Hand, or the Artic American Esquimaux, we sialT find
that there are enormous numbers of consonants and
that most of these consonants are cultural, as they
do not like to open their mouth to the cold air sufi-
.eiently to pronounce the labial, dental, or lingual con-
'sonant, much less the vowels, and least of all, the
more open of the vowels. This is an universal law.
