CRGsUs OR MUNcHAUsEN ?-An i'm
aglnative or unusually well-informed
advocate of DETECTION of the Union
Pacific railroad southwark to the thirty
second parallel, gives the Missouri Re
publican most glowing account of the
wealth of the Mexican States of Du-
range and chihuahua He tells of a
citizen of the latter State who has sill
yer mine of fabulous richness. for which
California company have vainly offered
him two million dollars. This wealthy
Chihuahuan is called Don Cordero. He
lives in style of extravagant magnif
cence, but even to supply all the luxuries
which he has habituated himself to use,
he only works his mine few days at odd
times. His suite of rooms in his mag
nifcent establishment are described as
splendid beyond comparison. They are
said by this correspondent to be support
ed by columns of pure silver one and a
half feet in diameter and twenty five feet
in hight The same correspondent ac-
credits Zombrano, Governor of Durango,
with mine from which he has skinned
fifty millions and paid eleven millions
royalty. These and other asserted facts
are related as reasons why the govern
ment should aid Southern Pacific Rail
road. Would not it seem, if we accept
the correspondents statements as true,
that Messrs. Cordero, Zombrano, and
their co-cresus of Durango and Chihua-
hua, are quite as able as is our Govern
ment to aid in the enterprise. Would it
be impertinent to inquire how much those
gentlemen propose to give?

The Hon. Jno. E. Sanford, Insurance Commits
sioner of Massachusetts,, in his Report for 1868,
speaking of Dividends in Life Insurance Compa-
mics, says, Tho sooner such guarantees cease
to be made, and such expectations created, the
sooner Life Insurance will come rest on its true
motive, and men insure their lives for security,
and not for dividends. Tho hest and the most
popular companies will then be those that prom
Use only equity, and render all that they promise,
and furnish the best security, with the most up
right and judicious management"

An Italian officer is reported to have
made discovery, by means of which
any private soldier is enabled to measure
the distance of any object within range,
instantly, and at the same time TO aim
a gun or cannon with unerring accuracy.
This would make all firearms such muir
derous weapons, that two detachments
of troops within range would be enabled
to utterly destroy one another.

ECCENTRIC PRAYERs.-Some very &C.
centric expressions were used in the
prayers of the clergymen of the last GEN.
tury An Edinburg minister was in
clined to grumble when he prayed, "Give
us not evil to think Thee neglectful Of
Thine own, for we are Thine own family,
and we have been but scurvily provided
for this long time"
The following is specimen of bap-
tismal prayer: "Lord, bless and preserve
this young calf, that he may grow an OK,
to draw in Christ's plough"
We wonder whsther the municipal
gallery was occupied when Mr.. Erskine
prayed thus: NOb, Lord, have mercy
upon all fools and idiots, and particularly
on the Magistrates of Edinburg."
Mr.. Dickson once INDUCED in the fol-
lowing kitchen garden allegory "Dibble
Thou the kali of Thy grace into our
hearts, and if we grow not mp to the
stature of good kali, Lord make us good
sprouts at least"
Another of something in the same
style was the following: "UDless our
hearts are mulched with the sharn dung
of grace we shall never thrive"

Farmers Can Ride end PIOw,
BY SECURING ONE or THE
GAY PLOWS.
Manufactured and sold for the very low price Of
500 and 875.

TNHE simplicity and practicability of this now
Il Plow commends it favorably to the special
notice of every farmer 1t possesses decided
superiority over all other plows now in use. The
wheels are four feet in diameter, and run on the
unplowed land. Its entire construction il in no.
way complicated. The pillow is managed in every
manner with ease, and requires only two levers
to be used in making any alteration. The supe-
riority of the ''Gay" Plow will be clearly shown
by the following certificate
We, the undersigned, citizens of Linn county.
Oregon, having purchased and used upon
farms the "Gay" Plow, hereby certify that tho
same has given us entire satisfaction Its facility
for adjusting to suit the depth of furrow without
moving from the seat, is simple and easy. We
like the plow for its draught because the same il
brought to bear directly upon the plow-beam in
stead of the carriage also, because it rs strong
and durabley all except the woodwork being com
structed Of wrought iron-no castings are used.
The wheels running upon the solid land 10 ad-
vantage over other gang -plows, in striking of
land and in piowing, not having to make the
essary changes in the machinery, and the seat 10
| always level, not thr wing the driver forward or
sideways as in other pows. Better work and
more of it can be accomplished by the use of this
Plow than by hand.
We take pleasure in recommending the "GAY''
Prov TO our brother farmers, having NO
superior in Oregon.
