COUNT 10. SMITH IN-The Herald
has oceans of words to waste away in
describing the railroad projected between
Astoria; McMinville and Portland, as
humbug devised by Senator Williams
and Ben Holiday. Only two days ago,
we received from Washington copies OF
the Congressional Globe, with marked
passages to call attention to the debate in
the House on the Bill granting lands to
aid this very road, and reporting at length
the remarks and explanations 'of Hon.
Joseph Smith, of Oregon, in its favor
That gentleman was very energetically
combating all the expressions against
railroad grants, and urging the importance
of the measures with true Oregon zeal,
and actually prevented its reference to a
committee whore it would not have been
heard from to be acted upon this session.
As Mr.. Smith is fighting hard for the
bill in the House, viii not the Herald in
future be just enough to include him in
the copartnership, and in future describe
the West-Side Road as humbug got ur
by Jo. Smith, Ben Holiday and vii.
liams. Statesman.

A r. Craig, in his Book of the
Hands; or, Modern Palmistry,o brings
together large amount of amusing ges-
sip, without saying how much of it he
believes. He founds his story upon the
system of D'Arpentigny and Dcsbaroiles,
the celebrated French Chiromancers.
From them are taken into detail the rules
for interpreting all the knots and hollows,
lines and fulrows that occur in various
hands; and he who studies them Alright
will be able to tell fortunes and read
characters, at any rate as wisely as any
wandering gipsy. Without much study
he may be, in a superficial way palmist.
Thus:
If the palm of the hand be long, and
the fingers well proportioned, ETC., not
soft, but rather hard, it denotes the per-
given to theft and vice.
If the hand be hollow, solid, and well
knit in the joints, it predicts long life,
but if overthwarted then it denotes short
life
Observe the finger of Mercury-that
is, the little finger, if the end of it ex-
ceeds the joint of the ring finger, such a
man will rule in his own house; and his
wife will be pleasing and obedient to him;
but if it be short, and does not reach the
joint, he will have shrcw, and she will
wear the breeches
Broad nails show the person to be
bashful, fearful, but of gentle nature.
Narrow nails denote the person to be
inclined to mischief, and to do injury to
his neighbors.
Long nails show person to be good
naturcd but distrustful, and loving re-
Cancellation rather than differences.
Oblique nails signify deceit and want
of courage.
! Little round nails denote obstinate, an
ger and hatred.
If they be crooked at the extremity,
/ they show pride and ferccness.
Round nails show choleric person,
yet soon reconciled, honest, lover of
secret sciences.
Flcshy nails denote the person to be
mild in temper, idle and lazy.
Pale and black nails show the person
to be very deceitful to his neighbor, and
subject to many diseases.
Red and marked nails signify chol
oric and martial nature, given to cruelty
and as many little marks as there ale
speak Of many evil desires.

Editing aPaper.

The following was found in the Office
of an editor by the county sheriff:
Editing a paper is very pleasant bu-
siness.
IF it contains too much political matter
people won't have it.
If it contains to little they won't have
it.
If the type is large it don't contain
enough reading matter.
If the type is small they can't read it.
If we publish telegraph reports folks
say they are nothing but lies.
If we omit them people say We have no
enterprise, or suppress them for political
effect.
If we have in a few jokes people soy
We are nothing but a rattlehead.
If we publish original matter they
damn us for not giving selections.
If we publish selections felix's say We
are lazy for not writing more. and giving
them what they have NOT read IN some
other paper.
If we give man complimentary noti-
ces we are censured for being partial.
IF VIC do not, all hands say we are
great hog
If we insert articles which please tho
ladies, men become jealous.
IF we do not cater to their wishes the
paper ia not fit one TO have in their
house.
If we attend church they say it is only
for effect.
If we do not they dcnounoe MS as deceit
ful and desperately wicked.
If we stay in our Office and attend to
our business folks say we are too proud to
mingle with our fellows.
If we go out they say we never attend
to business.
If we do not pay all bills promptly
! folks say we are not to be trusted.
If we do pay promptly they say we arc
subsidized.

To SEE DOWN A WELL.-The New
Hampshire Journal of agriculture sug-
gests an excellent plan for exploring the
bottom of a well: 1t is not generally
known how easy a matter it sto examine
the bottom of well, cistern or pond of
water by the use of a common mirror.
When the sun is shining brightly, hold
the mirror so that the reflected rays of
light will fall into the water. A spot
will be seen at the bottom, SO light as to
show the smallest object plainly. by
this means we have examined bottoms Of
wells so feet deep, when half full or moro
of water. The smallest straw or other
small objects can be perfectly seen from
the surface. In the same way one can
examine tho bottom of ponds and rivers,
if the water be somewhat clear, and not
agitatcd by winds or rapid motion. If a
well or cistern be under cover, or shaded
by buildings, so that the sunlight will
not fall near the opening, it is only nec-
essary to employ two mirrors, using one
to reflect the light to the opening, and
another to send it down perpendicularly
into the water. Light may be thrown
fifty or hundredd yards to the precise
spot desired, and then reflect downward.
We have used mirrors with success to re-
fleet the light around the field to shaded
spot, and also to carry it from south
window through two rooms, and then
into cistern under the north side of tho
house.

forms us that very rich diggings were
struck last week on Myrtle Creek, in a
gulch that had not before been thorough
ly prospected. Miners are reported to
be taking out from two to three dollars
to the pan in some instances. These
rich deposits do not seem to be extern
sive in that district.
We learn that Mr.. Lyman Abraham,
who has been under the care of surgeon
in San Francisco for six months past. is
expected home soon. His condition i
said to be much improved.
