"A party which, while defending

It Is democratic, and as conservative as

SWAMI LAND CLAIMs.-In response
to an inquiry made by subscriber in
Coos county, we yesterday visited the
Swamp Land Department and were
introduced by the Swamp Land clerk
to the mysteries thereof. After salts
fying our proper inquiry we made other
inquiries and got hold Of certain hui
morous features of life under the
Swamp Land Act. The most compre-
hensive claim yet filed was presented
by the ex-senator over in Polk, who
commenced ''tlIree marine leagues at
sea- and described the State bound
aries and laid claim to all the Swamp
Lands located therein. 1t is safe to
call this a joke but there it is regular
" on file and an undoubted satire it Is
upon the Swamp Land Act from high
Democratic authority. There Is a
rough joke current in this connection
that being asked If he had filed on all
the lakes. the jokist replied that his
claim didn't include the lake Of fire
ard birthstone which he left to be
taken by Hen o., of Lane county.
and as that gentleman has quite lately
fled on million acres yarionsly lota-
ted, may be he has concluded to lap
over on to the remaining lake. There
is story, also, that Ben. Hayden ct
al, filed description Of certain z
600 acres over on the Rickreal and
claimed. some as swamp slauds. The
description tailed with the ex-Sena-
torial farm. and when the clever gen
tleman who acts as Land Agent, care
fully read over the allegations Of those
alligators to the statesman whose
swine feed on the swamps Of the Kick
real. he consigned Ben. Hayden ct al.
to the lake OF fire and birthstone afOre-
said, and declared that he intended to
file on Ben's underwear as school
lands. This was another joke, Of
course, but that gentleman's jokes are
apt to verge on satire, and this one /
just as good as If 1t was Of record.
These little incidents show that the
Swamp Land Act. discreditable as II
is, serves to point moral and adorn
q tale le.--StacSmda.

which the children took an uncommon

The San Francisco Bulletin has
the following:
There is q sling used by the boys
in this city which is not only a source
Of annoyance, but there is q great
deal of danger attached to its use.
1t is made OF wire and india rubber,
and throws a pea, with which it is
usually charged, with force sufficient
to drive it through pane ofglass
from a distance Of several yards. In
an experiment at the establishment
where it is made it drove q buck
shot through a halt-inch plank.
Armed with this weapon the school
boys are a source Of dread to both
pedestrians and those who ride, and
IN several instances have drawn
blood with their shots from those
they hit. Something should be
done to prohibit or limit the use
of this dangerous plaything or some
serious accident will hal pen.

The Honeymoon.

This popular comedy of John Tobin's,
was enacted by the Gilbert Troup, in the
Masonic Theatre, last evening, to large
audience, who were not slow in showing
their appreciation. As an illustration of
the fair sex in general it was an ertrdud-
gdnza, but true to life it represented that
portion which might be styled the shrew-
ISL exception to the rule. But with all
her faults it told how woman could be con-
queled by kindness, and become trans
formed from thing of evil, to thing Of
beauty and joy forever.
The acting was better, if possible, than
on any of the preceding evenings. as the
players took more kindly to their parts.
Miss Katie Gilbert played "Juliana," a
character for which she seems peculiarly
adapted; as for her brother, j. NJ. Gilbert,
he took the part Of Jacques, the Mock
Duke, and did admirably as be always
does in low Comedy. Miss Belle Reynolds
in her role of Volante, won the admiration
Of all by her natural and fascinating adapt
ability for that parsonage. OF the others,
we must not speak in length, for they all
more than csme up to the expectations Of
the audience.
1t is lamsntable fact that in some of
the acts the scenery is entirely out of pro-
portion to the subject at hand, but since
this city is not all seasons of the year bles-
seG with theatrical perform ances, its citi-
zens are willing TO stand the shabby scene
~ (but they ought not to beg rather
than forego the pleasures Of, the entertain
ment.

Canine Raids.

From the McAIinnville Nelu Era Oct. 8,
we learn that ''the sheep-killing dogs made
3 raid on the sheepfOld Of Gen. T. r. Tan
matt last Friday night, and killed, or seri-
ously damaged some thirty of his flock. It's
truly discouraging to all men of enterprise
and public spirit who are endeavoring by
their time and means to improve our herds
and tlocks to thus have, in one nights
time, all their laborS destroyed. The sheep
killed were of the improved breeds, and
were worth, of themselves, intrinsically
more than every dog in the county.
On Monday night the dogs also made a
raid On the flock of Col. John II. French,
in the same neighborhood, killing mum
Der, and scattering the flock to the -four
Winds The Colonel did not know the
full extent Of the damage when we last saw
him. Can there be no adequate protection
fer the focks OF the country; or are those
who desire and are endeavOriHg to increase
and improve the focks of the country to De
left eternally at the the mercy OF rowing
bands of dogsP"
