what you must have, neither let them hold

eide, with a strict integrity, according TO

They must verify John Randolph's boast,

woman, we do really pity her; and now that
we have reflected ON it, we should not on

She never imagined baby like our, or

Revolution in Printing.

We have been treated view of the oper-
alton of model rotary printing press, in
vented by Mr.. Jeptha Wilkinson, which is
destined to produce complete revolution
in letter-presS printing, as soon as it is fair
y introduced TO the public. A Wilkinson
press, TO print sheet the size of the Atlas,
on both sides, at the rate of more than twen-
ty thousand an hour, could be easily put up
in our editorial room, and would occupy no
more space than the table upon which we
are writing this article. The action of the
press is altogether rotary, with no recip-
procating motion; and when once it is started.
it goes straight ahead, easily printing a roll
Of paper on both sides at tie rate of a mile
in length in minute time. The type are
placed on two cylinders, each printing a
seperate side, and the paper is put on the
press i'll large rolls, as it comes from the
manufactory, and is not cut in sheets until it
is printed. The printed sheets are all cut
and folded as they come from the press. TO
which is attached an endless register. which
at any time denotes the exact number Of
impressions that have been taken.
The astonishing velocity in the movement
of this very simple press is the most extra
ordinary feature of the improvement, and
can hardly be realized even by those who
regard it as no very wonderful affair for
locomotive 10 pass ovor railroad track at
the rate Of sixty miles an hour. The way
the white paper comes through Mr.. Wilkin-
sons press, printed upon both sides, is some
what upon the same principle that locomo-
tives are driven to their utmost speed
When this press is introduced there will be
no battering OF forms and no danger of pi in
the press room.
The introduction of this machine to prac-
teal use, contemplates change in the types
now employed, which has been employed,
which has been fully provided for by the in
genuity of Mr.. Wilkinson; and conical type.
adapted to stand upon cylinder in a per-
feet circle, constitutes part Of the invention
we are talking about. These types are so
made that they must all stand the right way,
and 50 formed that by locking one into the
ether, they can never be displaced except by
unlocking the form. The process of making
up columns and pages upon cylinders is per-
fectly simple, and can be accomplished with
the same felicityas the system now in use.

JOHN Quincy ADAMS OPINION OF GEN.
ScorT.-In his speech at the great Niagara
Convention, Governor Hunt, of New York,
said che should never forget the just eu-
logium pronounced upon the character OF
Scott, by John Quincy Adams, when he was
assailed, some years ago, in an exciting de-
bate in the House OF Representatives. Mr..
Adams declared that, after an experience of
more than fifty years in the public service,
he had never met a man of more exalted
virtues, at the same time asserting that he
possessed highor claims as pacificatar than
as a warrior; that the luster of his services
in preserving the peace of the country sur
passed the brilliancy ofhis military achieve
ments.

PREVENTION OF SALIvATIoN.-'I wish
to communicate fact to you that has fallen

interest to the profession generally. All
physicians are aware of the salivating effect
OF calomel and Of the inconvenience that
arises from sore mouths and other irritating
complaints that affect the patients. | have
had several patients under my care to whom
| have been obliged to administer calomel,
which have mixed with supercorbonate of
soda, in the proportion of about twice the
amount by weight of soda. To one patient
in particular, whom | have attended for
about ten weeks, have given three grains
OF calomel with six grains of soda daily for
five weeks, besides administering it fire.

This years emigration is beginning TO
drop in upon us. They report great dis
tress on the last end of the route, from the
lack OF grass, teams giving out, depredations
by the Snake Indians, West of Fort Hill,
&c.. What the poor en,naigram will do
this year for food, after he gets in, God only
knows. Now, flour sells quick at 500 per
bbl., and just after harvest, when il is gen.
orally at its lowest price. Wheat cant be
bought for bread or seed for less than So
80 now, and some ask 3, 4, and SIS per
bushel, and say they won't sell until they
get that. The emmigrant can't pay such
prices, he will not have the means to do so.

your wheat crop failed in Oregon no, sirs;
there is no such thing as crops of any kind

would rather buy wheat at So per bushel
than to raise it. Why? becsuse they don't
like to work. Oregon, this year, will have
to get bread from Missouri, Iowa, Illinois,
Indiana. and Ohio, and flour will be worth
$50 per barrel before next crop comes it,
1t is said that the wheat crop, in "Chili,' is
short this year. If so, your Western farm
ers may expect good prices for their pro-
duce this year.
From the present prices, any one can see
the great inducement for farmers here in
Oregon, to off coats, and go to ploughing
and let the gold mines alone. All can't be
miners; il we are we must starve before re-
lief gets to us from the States.

A SINGING MousE.-A family having
rooms in the American Hotel, lately left
town for few weeks. On their return
they found that mouse was in the habit of
constantly visiting the cage of canary bird
which had remained in the room during
their absence, having taken the opportunity
of forming the acquaintance during the unu-
sal stiffness of the apartment. To the sur
prise Of the members of the family, it was
soon discovered that the mouse had taken
lessons in singing Of its musical friend, and
would constantly give forth notes .in exact
imitation of the canary's tone, but low and
sweet. The little creature now visits the
cage nightly, eats of the seed, and endeavors
by its singing to excite the attention and call
forth the notes of the Bird Buffalo Com.

size he was like the boys call a 'minnow''-
say an inch and half lnng-but very diff
ierent in construction and color. His body
was quite white, translucent, and wholly
without an intestinal canal. The stomach,

diminish in proportion to lack of light. Let

BA good many of the Democratic pa
pers allege that Gen. Scott has really no
public business in the West, and that the
whole purpose of his tour is to promote his
election TO the Presidency. Will these
Democratic papers then be so kind as to ex-
plain to their readers why Gen. Wool and
Gen. Lawson, the former staunch Demo-
crat have accompanied Gen. Scott in his
whole tour?
