A New BREED OF HoRsEs-A new
breed OF horses has been introduced by
an Auburn On. Y.) genius, which prom
ises to work great revolution in the
equine departments of industry 1t is
made of iron and worked by steam. It
steps eight inches high, and eighteen
inches forward, end has four legs, and
body ten feet long 1t is said to work
well on upgrades, and does not, like oth-
er breeds of horses, scare easily. The
only difficulty which this animalex-
periences in the ordinary pursuits of
hasbandry is in maintaining his equi-
librium on uneven surfaces. Still, he
is, in this respect, much better off than
his bipedal competitor from Newark

SO much gossipa couple of years ago.
The Auburn automaton, or, rather, the
Aipponaton,-if we may manufacture a
word and thereby forestall the patentee

also this advantage over the New Jersey
wonder that, being only horse, and not
man at all, less will be expected Of him
in the way of versatility, and there will,
moreover, be nostruggle to decide wheth-
er he shall be allowed to vote. We have
no idea that the farming community will
be in hurry to adopt this animal of aka
lis and acids in preference to the prevails
ing style of horses, nor do we look with
any degree of enthusiasm for the time
when Quartermaster General Meigs shall
order them to mount his cavalry withal.

any things which will tighten the tolls

lessen the expenses of the farmer and

improved tone of confidence in financial
circles, and that the abundance of loana
BILE funds and the prospect of Boutwell,

The Litigant Bill.

The "litigant bill," passed by the re-
cent radical Democratic Legislature of
Oregon for the benefit of impecunious
Democratic organs, together with its
sponsors, seems to be receiving the
hearty curses of all classes of people, the
moment they fee. the benefits it forces
upon them. There does not seem to be
an Independents, self-supporting Demo-
cratic sheet in the State that approves,
much less defends, the law. The
following paragraph under this head is
taken from the Eugene Guard of the
18th instant, the litigant organ of Lane
county:
Organ No. 2 rushes franticaIly to the support
of the Litigant Act, and supposes that the people
for whose benefit the act WAS passed, will appre-
ciate the uniformity of rates to be charged for
legal advertising. No doubt. ''The people
would probably appreciate uniformity in the
price Of smoked herring. or whct-stones, or car
penter's work. And we believe that Legislature
has just much right to fix the price of one as 1t
has of the other. 1t is law of men that due no
tice shall be given before commencing suit 1t
| is law of nature that we have houses before We
can carry any business. Why does not the
Legislature tell us who shall build our houses, and
I
cur to this subject again. But when any news
paper claims that it is beneficial to "the people
we shall endeavor to place it before the people IN
/ its true light. We totally diselaim this as a
| Democratic measure. Properly, it is Patterson
measure. One of the good results claimed by the
defenders of the bill is that it will prevent legal
notices from being published in obscure religious
journals. There are three religious Journals pub
| lished in this State two of them in the city OF
| Portland, each having large circulation, and enc
in the backwoods of Polk county if any of them
u. t~,S a. hoe
been proclaimed the htigant organ for that
| county.
The truth of the matter seems to be
that instead of proving benefit to liti-
gants it is proving a hardship in most in
stances. As the matter now stands, liti-
gants are compelled to patronize any
sheet the Governor may select, and
pay the rates fixed by law therefor, which,
in some instances, are higher than the
regular rates asked by other journals in
the county. The old law was much
fairer, as it left this matter Of advertising
to the choice of litigants, where it right
fully belongs. Now they are compelled
to patronize one cf the Grover organs
no matter what its character, oftimes at a
cost of double what it would be were they
privileged to insert in another journal
printed in the county, equally as mcrito
rious and responsible as the litigant organ
The law is superlatively outrageous, and
we believe is really not worth, legally
the paper upon which it is written. The
matter will soon be tested, however, in
the proper courts; in the meantime let
''litigant organs" who uphold the swindle,
"cramp" ON all the law allows them, as
they will need all they can get hold of to
outhve the odium brought upon them by
their enforcement of the dieter of the
bond"
