1MposTERS-LooK Our FOR THEM.
The Oregonian says that parties are
travelling through Oregon, representing
themselves as agents for large English
mercantile houses, and offering to fill
orders for various kinds of goods of Eng
lish manufacture at about one fourth the
usual price in this country They assure
their dupes that they can completely
reyolutionize the business Of this country
by introducing their goods. They agree
to furnish good three-ply carpet at 25
cents per yard, Brussels at 80 cents,
heavy grain sacks at 81 per dozen, etc,
and that all these goods are g coming en-
the next steamer. They offer to furnish
cloth for mems clothing at a very fair
price, which they agree to cut and put
together for twenty FIVE cents suit, in
timatiDg that they have engaged mum
Der of tailors who are also ''coming by
the next steamer" After bargaining
for the sale of these goods, the " bilks 3"
will. in a careless way, show some goods
which are, apparently, of fair quality,
and offer them at a moderate figure.
Having impressed their victims with the
idea that they are selling the articles at
remarkably cheap rates, they usually
succeed in making sales. The parties
have already operated to some extent in
Portland, and If they have not already,
will soon push on through the country.
Look out for them.

Death of Hon. Anson Bur,lngame.

The telegraph brings the mournful
news of the death of Hon. Anson Bur
lingame, at St. Petersburg, Russia, after
an illness of four days duration, of con-
gestion of the lungs. The Emperor and
Empress of all the Russias have for
warded letters of coincidence to the
widow of the distinguished dead.
Thus is another eminent statesman cut
down in the midst of his usefulness. AS
statesman and diplomat he possessed
remarkable talent, as is proven by the
high honors he achieved and he brilliant
mark he made in history during his short
and busy life.
The father of Mr- Burlingame was
formerly a resident s. Oregon, but re-
moved to the East soon after the break
ing out of the war of the rebellion.
The following paragraph is taken from
Lanman's Congressional Dictionary
Hon Anson Burlingame, Ambassador
and Minister Plenipotentiary for the EN-
peror of China to United States and
Europe, was born in New Berlin,
Chenaneo county, New York, November
IA. 1922. His youth was spent on the
Western frontier, at one time acting
with surveying parties, and at another
participating in the making of Indian
treaties, far beyond the confines of civ
ilization. He laid the foundation of his
education at the Branch University of
Michigan, but, removing to Massachu-
setts, he entered Harvard University,
where he received degree in 1916. He
studied law and practiced in Boston
In 1852 he was elected to the State
Senate, and in 1865 was a member of
the Convention for revising the Consti-
tuition of Massachusetts. He was elected
a Representative in the Thirty fourth
Congress was reelected to the Thirty
fifth, serving as a member of the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs. He was
also reelected to the Thirty sixth Con-
gress, serving on the same Committee
In 1861 he was appointed by President
Lincoln Minister to Austria, and subse-
quently to China. which latter position
he resigned in 1867 to accept diploma
tic appointment from China TO the
European Powers, as we'll as to the
United States.

LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS.

RELIGIoUs.-We learn from our City
Recorder, Mr.. A c. Jones, that revi-
val of religion has been in progress in
Brownsville for the last ten days or two
weeks, at which some forty or fifty per-
sons have professed religion. Quite a
number of the most prominent citizens
who have hitherto been numbered
among those who wandered in forbidden
paths, have experienced change OF
heart, an't have enrolled themselves
among the followers of the meek and
lowly Jesus. The revival is the result
of union of the Baptist, Presbyterian,
United Brethren and Methodist denom
nations. 9 At last accounts the meetings
were still Progressing and gaining in in

informed that j. L. Allison, late Clerk of
the District Court of Pierce county and
publisher of the defunct Western Star,
was arrested day or two since on the
charge of forging the name of Daniel

with us. We knew he had one and q
half millions of gold with us. We had
messenger 60 down to Mr.. Butterfeld's >
Office three or four times, and every time
he came back with word from Gen. But
terfield that everything was call right"
About II o'clock, when be went there
he did not find Mr.. Butterfeld When
lie came back, after being gone about 30
minutes, | asked him, ''Wheie the devil
have you been z" He said, 81 could not
get in, because there was such a commo-
tion, and when l did he pointed me to
ing the sale of four millions of gold"
Evidently that information had been re-
ceivcd by Gen. Butter6eld, and indicated

"Did you state that you carried some
gold for Gen. Butteriield 20

for Corbin 2"

'slou stated that Corbin was paid
$50, 900 Tor Mrs. Grant. Was that in a
check or in money ?"
Mr.. Fisk--lt was in check, drawn

his bank fer collection, aud it went to
Mr.. Gculd's bauk, and was drawn and
deposited to the credit Of Mr. Corbin.
This showed that there was something
unusual about the transaction, for il is
not the way men do business in Now
York
"Do yon know il any money was paid
to Mrs. Grant ~
Mr.. Fisk-I only know what that old
thief Corbin says; l don't know of my
own knowledge.
MIR. Fisk, do you know what the let
ter contained which Mr.. Chaplin carried
from Mr.. Corbin to Gen Grant at WASH
ington, Penn, and which Mr. Corbin
said had clinched the thing"
"No; that is the only mistake made
that is where we were overreached; we
ought TO have found out what that letter
contained
