Miss Anthony addressed the Wash
ington Territory Legislature the
other day ON Woman Suffrage, and
claims to have converted quite num-
Der OF the Solons Of that body.
Woman's rights was suddenly de-
vcloped on mans cranium in Port

The grand jury of Douglas county
ref,sed to find an Indictment against
the Gale brothers Of the Ensign, who
were held to answer for assault on
Wm. Thompson of the Piaindealer.
The case was dismissed, with fine
Of 800 upon each. Their difficulty
with Mr. Thompson had, we learn,
previously been compromised, all the
parties acting with magnahimity.
The tragedy at Los Angeles, result
ing in the killing of n white man by
Chinese and bloody retaliation by
lynching fifteen chinaman, arose
from i'll feeling of long standing be-
tween two rival Chinese companies.
II began in row between the Chi
nese in which pistols were freely used
and tho whites Mt first interposed on

their number was killed they took Il
bloody revenge.
This from the Sfatcsman: A few
weeks ago baby was taken into a
church to be baptized, and his little
brother was present during that rite.
On the following Sunday, when baby
was undergoing his ablution and
dressing, the lHtle brother asked
mamma if sho intended to carry
Willie to be christencd. "Why, no"
replied his mother: "don't you know,
my son, that people are not baptiz-
ed twices What" returned young
reasoner, with the utmost astonish-
ment in his face, mot il it don't take
the first titne?"
The Roseburg Piandeaier tells of Il
young man named Thos. Deinmick,
OF Scottsburg, who was n few days
ago standing on the edge OF high
bluff, and accidentally losing his foot
ing, went headlong over tho fearful
brink. lie first struck the rocks
about twenty feet from the top Of
the bluff, then bounding off he again
came In contact with them thirty feet
farther on, and then fell fifty feet
upon the moss and trash at the foot
of the precipice. making about one
hundred feet in all. Incredible rs it
may seem. lie was not killed, and,
terribly mangled. at last
accounts was in fair way to recover.
