STAND FROM UNDBR.-To one unacquain
ted with the tricks of trade and the uuirks
Of "buis,' it would appear at present as il
Walla Walla were about to collapse-sink
beneath the Christening rod of adversity,
never to rise again. But not so, however
1t is only sort of mania among merchants
to sell of at cost, as per posters, sticking up,
and hanging up in every nook and corner,
staring you in the face at every turn you
take. These posters all have much to say
about CLOSING out at cost Buying at cost
is good thing, if things are not too costly,
and provided body needs them. Selling
of at cost has very cheap sound to it, and
when one sees these charming words hanging
around loose at every corner, a sort of buying
sensation gets possession of his better senses,
and he feels inclined to fathom the depth Of
his old trowsers pockets and if a piece at
the bottom is found, it flies and that's the
way the money goes. But while cost is
GOOD below cost is better Who among us
all can resist such enticing appeals-such
deuced Turing invitations to shell out 2 The
merchant who can sell out below cost here,
these times, feels himself impaled on the
horns of dilemma If he don't sell below
cost he stands no show, and if he does, he is
bound to lose; and what to do be don't
know. Some folks have an idea that mer,
chants always have a good thing-see no
trouble; but it is not so at least not inva>
rablg so, for it is not the case in Walla
Walla at present For most of them, this
Is the winter of their discomfort not made
glorious by anything worth mentioning One
hopeful up town takes courage by repeating
at short intervals to by-standers, and to him,
SELF when by-standers are not by, the well
conned words: the darkest hour of day, is
Just before the dawn of night!P We are of
the opinion that he will not sell below cost
at present Another mercanIiler. down town,
is too despondent for any use he SAYS he is
going to qnit selling goods afte- this, and
will give them away to his friends, if they
will not charge him for the service of job
wagon ia hauling them of. That store
ought to be well patronizel, and we think it
will get good run any way. All this sell
ing off at cost and below it, is mystery to
some; but it is easily explained; and in
word, such goods as are generally selling be-
low cost, were purchased when they were
high, and having fallen recently in the lower
markets, it necessitates business men here
to dispose of them below cost. That's the
long and the short of it.

For THE STATEs.-W. A. Ball left Walla
Walla for the Atlantic States, on Tuesday
stage. He goes by the Istbmus route, not
caring 10 risk the overland road at this sea-
son OF the year. He will take a peep at
New York City, when he arrives at the east
ern seaboard, then go to Washington, D. c.,
and take cursOry view of cur fractional
Congress, look at the big heads, dead heads,
negroes and others who assemble there to
make laws for the negroes, Chinese, Indians
and Americans; and thence through the
Middle States to his old home in Missouri,
where he expects TO see many of his relatives.
There he will remain until March next, at
which time he will start back for "the land
we love"-the Walla Walla Valley. A
pleasant trip is the wish of our townsman's S
numerous friends.

GoLD-GoLD.-A gentleman rushed in upon
carried 'dornick' in his hand, and his general
aspect was bordering on toe wild and ferocious.
We thought our time had come this time, sure.
1t was a ten-to one bet that our house was to
come down and our 'log' to be walked. But
nothing of the kind occurred. The gentleman
walked briskly up, and asked us too look at the
above mentioned doruick. We looked and be-
held that it was covered-thorougly bespangt
led with gold. 1t was goody sight, and twas
good for sore eyes we were told. The gentleman
forth with proceeded to explain. The rock, which
was the size of bruiser's fist, he said was found
about four feet under the surface of the ground,
in a we'll, which was just being dug at Phillips
Foundry. He saw the rock ousted from its bed =,
aud could swear that no one wearing human
shane had placed it there The specimen had
smooth, aged look, without the slightest ndica-
tious of earth marks about it. To our mind,
the late finding of this rich specimen (worth
about 500 was blk; to the man who brought
itin, it was good thing, and be kneV it. How
many claims have, since the discovery, been ta>
ken up in the immediate neighborhood OF the
Foundry, is not known. 1t is to be hoped the
discovery will prove a sell, for who could be so
base as to wish to see our beautiful valley dug
up and riddled with holes, by people who have
nothing better to do than to hunt ior sucn COM

: QUARTZ ON THE BRAIS.-Many people on the
Pacific Coast, are from time to time, more or
less afflicted with this ailment but it is not often
that any one SO far loses bis mental equilibrium
as to be taken to an asylum for treatment. We
have, however, one such instance to record A
Mr.. King, aged about twenty five, was brought
down from the Orc Fino mines, few days ago,
in care Of Mr.. Joshua Triekel, who actually be. /.
came insane, in consequence of having found
an exceedingly rich silver.quartz vein, somer
where in the Orc Fino mining district. After
finding the quartz, be had some small pieces
tested which proved to be immensely rich At
that time, King is said to have been perfectly
sane to all appearances; but shortly afterward
perhaps day or two-it was noticed he had
lost bis reason. He talked a great deal about
his quartz discovery, and was in great distress
lest some one should find his silver mine and
rob him of it, As we stated above, be was
brought here few days ago, and has since been
taken below, either to an asylum or to Oregon
City where his parents reside King is iue
looking young mon, and is said to be we'll edu.

MAIL cOnxusIcArIOs.-T Salem Daily Chron-
ieis, in speaking of the liability Of mail commu.
nication to be stopped between Oregon and this
northern country, by the Columbia river freezing
over, partly relieves anxiety on this head, by
giving publicity to the following:
ave are happy, however, to be able to assure
the public that the appreheuded contingency,
(stoppage of mail matter) has been foreseen and
and duly provided against by our efficient Postal
Agent, Qoincy A. Brooks, Esq. The o. S. N.
Co., under an arrangement with him have agreed
to cause the mail between Portland and Dalles
to be conveyed by land, at least once a week. in
the event OF the river being dlosed. This ar,
rangement, however, contemplates only the LETT
ter mail, as the transportation of any heavier
matter, over such terrific route would involve
too much expense. Consequently al. Pub Docs, .,
alias 'tombstones,' alias Mormon bibles, as in
deed all matter, except letters will be carefully
and 'religiously excluded from the mails passing
over that route during the temporary obstruction.
So, if the Columbia wants to freeze, "let her

letters from the east regularly, and from ten to
fifteen days sooner than ever before.
