THE Oregon WAK-DEATH or LIEUT.. ALIEN
The following from the Oregon Times, of August
DIST, gives the particulars Of the capture of II large
number of Indians, and the death OF Lieut.. Allen
Of the Ninth Infantry:
A friend whose statcmcn we know to be wholly
and entirely reliable, informs US that an express
arrived at Fort Vancouver. on the evening of the
10Th, from the Dallas, sent by Major Garnet. who
is in the field against the Indians in the Yakima
country. The Major had left Fort Simcoc on the
10Th inst, and at the time of writing his dispatch
was ON the PIPER Yakima river. On the night Of
the 18th he detached Lieut.. j. X. Allen, OF the
Ninth. with a party of ID men, Ia surprise and
attack a mail band of hostile Indians reported to
be in the neighborbood. The Lieut.. executed the
duty with consummate daring and skill. lie sur
prised and captured a large party Of Indians. con-
sisting of2l men, so women and children. aud 20
horses and 20 beef cattle. besides other property.
1t is not stated whether or no any escaped, though
it is highly probable that under cover of the night.
many made good their escape. We are grieved
tOry-that in the engagement, Lieut.. Allen was
mortally wounded, and died in a few hours after
the arrival OF the company ut Major Garnett's
camp. lie is the third of the brave and gallant
officers of the regular army who have fallen this
season already i'll this country, by the hands Of
the hostile savagcs. His sudden and untimely
death will be deeply regretted by all who knew
. him.
Three of the prisoners taken by Lieut.. Aliens
party. were recognized as active participants and
leaders in the attack on Robinson's company of
miners. and were Immediately hung by order of
Major Garnet. who. we are rejoiced to know. has
no fancy for playing or temporising with the In
dian murderers Of white men.

Gan AXE TO GRIND"

We published few weeks ago brief ar
ticle tracing the origin Of this common Say.
ing to well-known story attributed to the
pen Of DR.. Franklin. A late number of the
Bucks county (Pa. Intelligencer enters the
name OF another claimant to the honor OF
having first given currency to this common
coloquial phrase. That Journal says:
at was not DR.. Franklin who gave to the
world this convenient aud expressive phrase.
1t would be grievous wrong to attempt t.
rob him Of any Of his honors, or to call in
question his authorship of any of the sayings
OF Poor Richard but the story of the man
who had the axe to grind, from which the
present story is garbled, first appeared in
your own paper; and, with many other ar,
ticles which graced its columns in the early
days of it's existence, was written bv Charles
Miner, under the nom de plume of Poor Rob
ert the Scribe Those articles were alter
wards published in small volume, and we're
printed at Miners Press, Doylestown.' The
book was entitled Essays from the Desk OF
Poor Robert the Scribe The fret piece was
headed Who'll turo Grndstones? and from
this the phrase an axe to grind has obtained
more than o land-wide circulation.

JTnICROUS DIPLOMATIC DIFFICULTY.
A letter from Brussels says:-A quarrel

IJpICRoUS DIPLOMATIC DIFFICULTY.
A letter from Brussels says:-A quarrel
has sprupg up at the Hague between the un-
nonular Prussian Envoy, Count KONG ,mark,
and the Netherlands Government, which
though, ludicrous in its origin, threatens to
embroil the two Cabinets in somewhat seri-
GUS discussions. The outline is this:-The
Eovoy, driving slowly after dinner, to Sche-
vining, was overtaken by young Count Fol-
stein, nephew of the Minister for Foreign
Affairs, in an open carriage drawn by spirit
ed horses. The latter gentleman, desirous to
get out of snsips pace, told his coachman
70 pass. Seeing this the Eovoy babe his driv-
er not to draw Cd one side, and to ziszag 80 as
to prevent being passed. At last they came
to q circular bifurcation of the road, conduc-
ting to Schevining Bathing House. Here 'oe
young Counts coachman put his horses iu W
q oanter to the left, whilst the old Count ihaI
galloped to the right, 30 that ootn Io"on,
the door at the same time, ana crasa go
ed, from which both carriages soneleu Ivy
or less. Both rivals descended ~i'uou. Ca
changing apology or excuse; No' eo '.
coacbmen, who, taking up the quarrel ho.
onIy abused each other, out their eppooou1'
masters: crowds collected, police lnsosiereu'
until at last the Envoy re-appcared ana grove
off, and upon reaching the legation addres-
sed sharp note to the Minister TOR Foreign
Affairs, demanding satisfaction. :.
After due consideration, the latter oirecteo
his nephew to wait next day upon the Envoy,
10 apologize in person. This was DONE una
although the reception was as ungracious as
possible, the affair was supposed to be SET
tied. Such, however, was not the Count
Kouipsmark's intention; for, at the end OF
week. he addressed second note to the For
eipn Office, demanding q categorical reply to
the first. To this Count Goistein' after e4-
pressing regrets at the incident, answer
ed that he knew not how further satisfaction
could be accorded; and that as to ordering
his nephew's coachman ito DO banlshed' the
kingdom, az required by the Prosslan Envoy
that was out of the question, although the
said ooachman was Belgian.
Enraged at this, the Envoy forthwith des-
patched bis first secretary, M. SteHens, With
details, to Berlin, and proposing, IN case am
ple and complete satisfaction were not aceed-
ed by the Netherlsnd de Government, that he
and bis legation should quit the Hague
Mean while ne has shut himself up, and de-
clined all diplomatic relations. This storm in
a puddle has created profound sensation at
the Hague, coupled With fervent hopes that the
unpopular envoy, into whose house all non
official Nctberlandcrs have long ceased TO en-
ter, will depart, no matter how.

The COMPOSITION OF MILK AT VARIOUS
TINES OF TIE DAY.-Professor Beedeker has
analysed the milk of healthy COW at various
times Of the day, with the view Of determin-
ing the changes in the relative amount ofits
constituents lie found the solids OF the
evening milk (13 per cent? exceeding those
of the mornings milk no per cent while
the water contained in the fluid was dimin-
ished from eighty-nine to thirty-si1 per cent.
The fatty matter gradually increases as the
day progresses. In the morning they amount
to 2. II per cent, at noon 2. 63 per cent, and
In the evening s. AZ per cent. This fact is
important in q practical point OF view. fol
while sixteen ounces Of mornings milk Will
yield nearly half an ounce of butter, about
double this quantity may be obtained from
the evenings milk-Ed. Medical Rerie,c.
