at is well known that since the extension
RI ON, r;tv limits our debt has grown from
two millions to over three millions"
We cannot imagine it possible that the
raou,rer intended that it should be under
stood that this increase Of debt was caused
by the extension of the limits of the city
There could be no greater mistake. 1cl
taken without explanation such is the plain
inference. If, indeed, the annexation OF tcr
ritory on the north side has cost any respect
able sum, it becomes more and more import
ant that we should acquire the rich property
IN the south side to reimburse our losses.

time be finished. That viii be one induce
ment to emigration to Manchester, as it is
Enthusiastically q great argument why an
nexation should follow.
All the objections stated on behalf of the
opposition by the Enquirer are frivolous and
exaggerated. They do well enough for q
man Of the past age who knows nothing
about cities and how they grow and prosper,
and indeed who has no love for the ANNA
ton and hustle of great towns. These rea-
sons sound very like the arguments Of an old
bachelor against getting married. Heindecd

though she were, like Manchester, well en-
dowed, having more wealth than sufficient to
array her In handsome style for the balance
Of her existence, he can't risk it. He is afraid
1t might exceed the income little, and that
would never do. What would become of
the world if such fellows had sway?
Virginia never has had city, and our
people are singulally unacquainted with the
spirit and enterprise which build them. The
young men, as we have said, understand
things. Take the Enquirer Of yesterday
morning, for instance, in It's statement of the
objections of the opponents Of annexation.

A Coon SUGGEsTION.-A ljaltl-
more telegram of the 18th has the
following good suggestion: "C.C.
Fulton, of National Republican
Committee, and who is known to
have the full confidence otthc Pres
ident, says, in the A"'erico~ this
morning, that those holding offices
should refrain from attending the
Philadelphia Convention as dele
gates. We disclaim any lack of
appreciation of the otfice-holders as
class; our purpose has been to
prevent them from being present in
position, as it would give their de
famers an opportunity to avail them
selves Of the peculiar clamOr they
have been SO diligently at work to
raise for the purpose of damaging
Grant. If those holding commits
sions under him should be present
in force, his denomination would
be held up as the work of the bread
and butter brigade. 1t seem to us
so important and desirable that the
membership Of the convention
should directly be from the people,
that it is a token Of surprise that any
earnest friend Of the Board holding
office should not see the propriety
Of keeping away from it. Oppo-
nents to Grants nomination would
like to see many otfice-holders in
the convention. 1t would be play
ing into their hands, and apparently
sustaining their oft repeated dec
laration that he is using exertions to
secure the nomination. Of one
thing we are certain, they will please
the President.

BEAUTIFUL CHEMICAL EXPERT.
MENT.-The following beautiful
chemical experiment may easily be
performed by a lady, to the great
astonishment Of a circle at her tea
party: Take two or three leaves
Of red cabbage, cut them into
small bits, put them into a basin,
and pour pint of boiling water on
them : let it stand an hour, then
pour off the liquor into decanter
It will be of a fine blue color,
Then take four wine glasses; into
one put six drops of strong vinegar,
another six drops Of solution Of
soda, into a third the same quantity
of strong solution Of alum, and
let the fourth glass remain empty.
The glasses may be prepared some
time before, and the few drops o.
colorless liquids which have been
placed in them will not be noticed.
Fill up the glasses from the decan-
ter, and the liquid poured into the
glass containing the acid will
quickly become a beautiful red, that
into the glass containing the soda
will be a fine green, that poured
intothe empty one will remain un-
changed. BY adding a little
vinegar to the green it will i'm
mediatly change to red, and ad-
ding a little solution Of soda to the
red it will assume . fine green, thus
showing the action Of acids and
alkalies on vegetable blues.

"Tnited we stand, and divided
we fall" says a Democratic cOtem-
porary, after giving several Demo
cratic journals "tits" for pitching a,,as
into Ex-Governor whiteaker. The
unity and harmony now existing in
the Democratic family is most lovely
to behold. Old mother Democracy
can't coax, scold, spank, nor cry ner
unruly brats into obedience 70 her
behests, or agreement among them-
selves She has been "double-m'nd-
cd" herself, and now every one Oh
her miserable progeny is "unr''ly IN
all his WAYS" Here in Oregon her
children scout at the old lady's de-
sire to Je "passive," and assuming
a wise and lofty look, strut about
like pcacocks with new tails, and
claim to be tile "raal ginai,'e" arti-
Gle ofold fashioned Democracy. In
one particular their resemblance to
the old kiudis very good; nearly
every other fellow wants an office.
Every lawyer among them wants
to serve the dear PEOPLE in Con-
gress, and no finite mind can possibly
tell how many others are aspiring in
the same direction. The Dcmocra-
cy of Oregon can unitedly stand and
sing: "Dear people, kind people,
do give me an Office" How beaati-
full it is for brethren to dwell togeth-
er in unity. Aint't it?

WASTE OF Misunderstanding
to DIR. Beard, labor of the brain
causes greater waste Of tissue than
labor of the muscles. According
to tie estimates Of Professor
Houghton, three hours ofharl study
produce more important changes Of
tissue than q day Of muscular Ia
bor., Phosphorus, which is a prom,
inent ingredient of the brain, is de-
posted in the urine" after mental
labor; and recent experiments have
shownthat by chemical examination
of these phosphates deposited it is
possible to determine whether an
individual has been chiefly using
his brain or his muscles. That the
brain Is the organ Of the intellect
is now as we'll established as any
fact OF science. The brain being
the noblest organ Of the body, re-
ceives greater proportionalamount
of blood than any other part, and
is, of course, corespondingly affect
ed by the quality and quantity Of
the nutrition. II has been eStimat-
ed that one-tifth Of the blood goes
to the brain, though its average
weight is not more than fifty
ounces, or about onefortieth the
weight Of the body. This is one Of
the reasons Why brainrworkers need
. better quality and larger quantity
Of nutrition than mechanics and
