Death of a Benefactor of Mankind.

The fame of George Peabody's disin-
terested benefactions has filled the world.
And the whole world viii mourn the
death of one who has conferred such
large benefits on his fellow men.
George Peabody was born at Danvers,
Massachusetts,, in February, 1l95. His
parents were poor and his education was
limited. At eleven years of age he be-
came groeer's clerk in his native town,
where he continued until he was fifteen.
After this he spent year with his grand
mother in Vermont, and then went to
Newburyport, Mass, whereof acted as
clerk in Il dry goods store for an elder
brother He next went with an uncle to
Georgetown, ID. c., where he engaged in
similar business. In the year lol4 he
became partner of Elisha Riggs in the
wholesale dry goods trade, he doing the
business, and bis partner furnishing the
capital for it. The next year the house
removed to Baltimore, where it soon at
tracted large business. MIR. Peabody
here laid the foundation of his fortune.
In 1922 branch houses were established
in New York and Philadelphia, and the
whole affairs were conducted by Mr..
Peabody with great skill and success
His first visit to Europe was made in
1927, when he went over to buy goods.
After this he frequently crossed the At
lantic, and in 1887 took up his residence
permanently in England. Having with
drawn from the firm of Peabody, Riggs
& Co. in 1913. he established himself in
London as a banker, where he remained
i'll business many years. During the last
twenty years ne has been greatly noted
for his muniticent liberality in endowins
and supporting various institutions for
the benefit of his fellow men. Both
hemispheres attest his benefcence.
Peabody Square, London, is a magnif-
cent donation to thepoor of that metrop-
oils, exceeding any similar charity ever
bestowed. Baltimore, where Mr.. Pea
body resided many years, was always
kindly remembered, aud his gifts to that
city were numerous and large. Among
his latest donations were large sums
for the establishment of educational in
stitutions in the Southern States. His
native town, Danvers, has not been for
gotten in his benefactions, and his ashes
are now to be brought back for interme Mt
at the place of his birth. In George
Peabody is seen the rare example of a
successful business man and great
philanthropist united in one person. To
appreciate the man it is only necessary to
compare him with Vanderbilt, who is
building a monument to himself at cost
of million dollars. Peabodys monu-
ment is the great and permanent 1nstltuc
tions he has founded for the beneht OF
his fellow Oregonaan.

A SUPREME COURT DEoIsIoN-In
the Supreme Court on the 1st instant,
Chief Justice Chase delivered an opinion
in the case of Thornigton VS.. Smith &
Halsey, and decided that promissory
note given in payment of property pur-
chased at Montgomery in 1864, when
the authority of the United States was
excluded from that part of the State and
the only currency in use was Confederate
Treasury notes, is payable in Confederate
notes alone, and that the United States
Courts possess power to enforce the same.
The court also ruled that the contracts
stipulating for payments in that currency
cannot be regarded as made i'll aid of
foreign invasion in one case, or domestic
insurrection in the other. They have no
necessary relations to hostile govern
ment whether invading or insurgents.
They are transactions In the ordinary
course of civil society, though made in
directly and propose ends unlawful.
Government is without blame, except
when it. is proved to have been entered
with an actual intention to further inva-
sion or insurrection.

HopEFuL.-A correspondent of our
cotemporary, the Democrat, writing from
Roseburg, says: :sThe Democracy will
make clean sweep of this county next
election" Whereupon the Roseburg
Ensign remarks as follows: "That same
prediction has been made before every
election since 1864, and with more
encouraging prospect than is now pre-
sented. sJunius is evidently very
sangnine individual. He says he is as
sured that Douglas county is now Demo
cratic, and we suppose he gets that as
surance from the tendency indicated by
the majority given at the last election.
At the last election, upon a strictly party
vote, the Republican majority was log,
being the largest average majority in the
county since 1864. The Republican
party have certainly lost nothing by the
changes that have taken place since last
election A Democrat who can see a
gleam of hope with such facts before
him, will never be likely to know what
it is to despair"

A mar named Chas. Wright was arrest

A MoNuMENr OF PATIENT SKILL.

A MONUMENT OF PATIENT SKILL
The Oakland Ncrs says:
Among the curious articles exhibited
at the Mechanics Fair, is one that the
San Francisco papers, for reasons which
are apparent, have not noticed, but which
we deem worthy of special mention. 1t
is large cushion upon which is a gilt
tering scroll and other emblems of tasty
design, with the motto g Dedicated to the
San Francisco Chronicle.'' The cause of
the bright glitter, or the means employed
to produce it, are not at first apparent,
but close examination reveals the fact
that the ornamental work upon the cush-
ion is made up of collection of ordinary
brass pins, artistically arranged to form
the design and motto exhibited. Some
idea may be formed of the labor involved
in the work, and the patience required
by its completion, when we state that it
contains upwards of thirty-one thousand
pins. This pretty ornament is the de-
Sign and execution of Mrs. De Young,
the venerable mother of the proprietor
of the paper named, lady upwards of
sixty years of age.

COOPERATIVE MARKET FOR Work
INGMEN.-Ihe present movement by L
portion of the industrial elias ses in Port
land, shows that they are aware of the
impending change that is coming upon
the labor interests Of this coast; but their
great error is, that they are allowing
professional politicians to take the lead in
their midst, befogging them with obsolete
politics, instead OF taking mcasurs among
themselves to obtain the largest quantity
of bread for the least outlay of money!
The present rates for family supplies
are above the ratio of working mems in
come, and one thing is certain, the
working Class must initiate plan to furnr
ish themselves at cheaper rates before
the invetable fall in wages comes, or they
must suffer the effect OF short-sighted-
ness. Instead of platforms proposed by
lawyers, let the workingmen Of all shades
OF opinion unite in the best plan to get
cheaper groceries, meat, wood, etc.
Let fifty men subscribe but ten dollars
each for the purchase of some main arti-
Gle or more, and divide it, there
will be a saving of more than
Il days work Il week on the in
vestment to each shareholder. If
they invest double that amount, they may
start their own butchershop, and save at
least five cents pound on beef, seven on
pork, and about five or six on mutton.
Hotels would join them III this enterprise,
and contracts can be made for the deliv-
cry of any amount OF slaughtering stock
! at one half tie present retail rates. The
same with vegetables and the dairy pro-
ducts, one-half can be saved by making
arrangements with trader at some of
the Willamette landings. We make sug-
gestions to the common sense of the
Workingmen Association, as real ben
eft will follow from this policy, instead
Of wasting their energies on political
distractions at the nod of politicians

SMALL Pox.-Five hundred, or half
the entire number of the Gros Ventre
Indians of Montana, have died with the
small pox. Many of them have commit
ted suicide by blowing their brains out
with revolvers. The indians still alive
demand that the superintendents act as
mediators with the Great Spirit, and stop
the ravages of the disease.
