A Grave Assertion that Byron had
Horns.

An entirely new solution of the Byron
mystery is furnished by writer in the
Madras Hull, who says that "his father
had it from one of Lord Byron's most
intimate friends" According to this
lively correspondent
Lord Byron was, in sense, devil.
Incredible as the thing may seem to the
thoughtless, the handsomest man in Eng
land had small tail, rudimentary pair
of horns, and short, squad feet, divided
forward FROM the instep into two parts,
instead of being furnished with toes.
Before he was born his mother had been
greatly terrified by Sc ing, when in a
very delicate state of health, the cele-
brated picture of Satan Spurned, in the
gallery at La Haye, and the result had
been the fashioning of her child to some
extent after the monstrous form of which
the sight caused her alarm, and of which
the continuous recollection could not be
effaced by any means known to her ply
slclans. At the time of her confinement
it was at first suggested that the mon
strosity should not be suffered to live, but
the chlld's body, as whole, was SO per-
fectly shaped, and its face SO wondrously
beautiful, that The suggestion was forth
with put aside, and England was not de-
prived of what was to become in due
time one of its chiefest ornaments. Poor
Lady Byron never recovered wholly from
the shock caused by the discovery of
what her husband really was and partly
through excess of Imagination, partly in
consequence of bad advice from persons
who shall be nameless, she felt it to be
her duty to insist upon her husband sub
jecting himself to certain painful opera
tions. But this Lord Byron obstinately
refused to do. Hc urged, and with con-
siderable force, that the peculiar manner
in which he wore his abundant curls eff
fectually hid from view the rudimentary
horns and that, as he never appeared in
public without his boots and trousers,
none would ever suspect the existence of
his other defects, except his valet, in
whom he placed implicit confidence.

A SIGN OF THE TIMEs.--In Europe
some keen fnanciers are now engaged in
the formation of a joint stock company
with half million dollars, which propos,
es to make the fortune of all its share
holders by operating on the " dead GER
.ainty'' of the constant and early appre-
citation of the United States government
bonds. These men argue that the U. s
government will apply every year to the
reduction Of the debt the excess of It's
revenue. The excess may be one hun,
dred millions of dollars, or not more than
fifty millions of dollars. IF it is one hun.
dred millions Of dollars the debt will be
paid in fifteen years if it is Fifty millions
of dollars the debt will be paid In twenty.
three years. In the period of time, there.
fore, between now and 1893 it is conf
dently. counted that all United States
bonds will have risen to full par value
and in the difference between the value
and present rates the company sees its
Eldorado.-N. Y. Herald.

ADVERTISEMENTS

IUVHE simplicity and practicability of this new
Plow commends it favorably to the special
notice of every farmer. It possesses a decided
superiority over all other plows in use The
wheels are four feet in diameter, and run on the
unplowed land. Its entire construction is in no
way complicated. The pillow is managed in eyery
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 onr
farms the "Gay'' Plow, hereby certify that the
same has given entire satisfaction. Its facility
for adjusting to suit the depth of furrow without
moviag from the seat, is simple and easy We
like the plow for its draught, because the same is
brought to bear directly upon the pow-beam in
stead ofthe carriage; also, because it is strong
and durable all except the wood work being con-
structed of wrought iron-no tings are used
The wheels running upon the solid land is an ad-
vantage over other gang -plows, in striking off
land and in plowing, not having to make the nee
essary changes in the machinery, and the seat is
always level, not thr wing the driver forward or
sideways as in other plows. Better work and
more of it can be accomplished by the of this
Plow than by hand.
We take pleasure in recommending the CAY
PLow to our brother farmers, as having no
superior in Oregon.

Hundreds of men and boys are now employed
by the association of New York capitalists
known as the Sea Moss Farine Co., in reaping
from the rocks on the Irish coast the edible ma
rine liehcn which, as prepared under the name
of Rands Sea Moss Farine, has already become
one ofthe important manufactured staples of the
American produce market. The patent for this
cheap and delicious food element is scarcely a
year old, yet its use is all but universal. Every
grocery and general store, and every respecta-
bic druggist establishment in the country finds
it necessary to keep supply of the article
Housekcepers declare that the quantity of ex-

exceeds by one-half that oJtainable from any
other geatinous agent used in cookery. The
