Mr.. James Finlayson writes to the
Oregonian advising farmers not to look
to Congress for an appropriation 10
improve the Willamette river, as it
takes all the time of these worthless to
devise ways to rob the treasury for
their own benefit, but to 60 to work
aud raise the necessary funds them
selves. He says the farmers of BEN
ton and Polk could raise $50,00O-a
matter easy of accomplishment, as 1t
would be but five per cent. on their
million bushels of wheat by doing
this they would probably get fifteen
cents more on the bushel for their
wheat. by opening the river from Cor
wallis to Astoria. Linn and Marion,
he asserts, will raise another $50. COO
a total of 100000, which will open
the river to commerce. The w. R. I.
60. proposes to donate $1,000 toward
the enterprise, provided the sum above
named is put up by these four counties,
aud to give bonds in 5000, 900 that the
river will be cleaned out and in good
boating order, from Corvallis to Asto-
ria, by the coming harvest. This
Company also proposes to carry wheat
from Corvallis to Astoria for seren cents
per bushel, In view of this state of
affairs, MFR. +. asks the farmers of the
four counties to assemble In mass
meeting, sometime between now and
the first Of March, in this city, and
take steps to secure the opening of the
river. We second the motion.

Agricultural Monopoly.

According to an Eastern journal,
America, In the time Of Mr.. Madison.
held the agricultural monopoly of the
world, but this same journal now con-
tesses that 1t is rapidly passing from
us. as nearly all our great staples are
riyaled by the production of other
nations. Up to the time of our civil
war, as Is well known, the United
States mon0pollzed almost the entire
cotton trade. aud our Southern States
amassed great wealth in the enjoy
ment of Its exclusive culture. The
closing of Southern ports during the
rebellion compelled manufacturing
countries to look elsewhere for this
great staple, and as consequence we
now have as rivals In the production
of cotton, India, Egypt. and the South
Sea Islands. The vast revenue once
enjoyed by South Carolina in the culti-
vation OF rice, is now shared BY Patua
and Rangoon. Louisiana sugar PLAN
tations are now brought into sharp
competition with the West Indies and
Manila. Turkey and Austria now
compete with Virginia and Maryland
for the tobacco trade. And In our
great staple, Wheat, we are undersold
IN the markets of the world by vast
quantities shipped from the Danube,
the Vistula, from Peru, Bolivia and
Chilli. The great corn fields of the
american Bottom" are rivaled by
the productions of Trieste, Genoa and
Barcelona. Canada undersells us in
lumber; and Pennsylvania finds COM
petition for her petroleum from the
Caspian and Wallachia. And even
the superiority of our cheese is dis
puted by England, and Orange county /
is brought into sharp competition by |
Cheshire. In fact it would seem that |
the great staples of our country were
on par with our shipping interests
and the carrying trade.

Killed by q ThunderhOIt.

A Falls Church, Va, correspondent
writes as follows: Richard S. Shreve
was the Methodist preacher of the Bote-
tourt Circuit, and the Rev. John
Shreve was the Methodist preacher on
an adjoining circuit. These brothers,
with the wife of the first named, had
been visiting friend and returned to
the house of the first named near night.
The evening meal had been prepar ed,
and before partaking of it, family prayer
was proposed. Mr.. r. S. Shreve has
several children, the eldest of whom is
seven. The youngest of them being
fretful. the mother directed the eldest
to take all of them into an adjoining
room and to quiet them during worship.
The adult persons then seated them
selves for family worship, Mr.. John
Shreve one side of the window, Mrs.
Richard Shreve sat opposite to him.
Mr.. Richard Shreve seating himself IN
front of the window, and the servant
girl was seated near table In the CEN
ter of the room. The Bible had but
Just been passed to John Shreve to
commence the service, when the death
dealing electric stroke came. The
heavens we're overcast with a dark,
angry cloud, and few large, scattering
drops of water had fallen as the only
premonitions or precursors of that aw-
full electric stroke. The eldest of the
children came into the room immed1-
ately after the report, and surveyed the
scene, and gives the only intelligible
account. Her father and mother were
PROSTATE on the floor. Mr.. John
Shreve was staggering about the room,
uttering some incoherent words and
soon fell to the floor. The servant girl
was paralyzed with terror. The little
girl thought to place her hand over her
fathers heart, and it was still beating.
The nearest neighbor was half a mile
distant. The servant girl was unae-
auainted with the road, and finally the
eldest girl, leaving the other children
in that house of death, piloted the SER
want girl through the storm to the near
est neighbor for aid. The Rev. John
Shreve recovered, but the electric
bolt did its perfect work with Richard
s. Shreve and his wife, furnishing one
of the most startling complications on
record of the truth of the line in the
burial service in the Book of Common
Prayer, to wit "In the midst of life
we are in DEATH" .r.t

A Terrible Slaughter.

The Bishop of Zululand. writing
home to England, says that 8" hungry
Zulu is as unpleasant to travel with as
hungry crocodile" During the good
Bishops short absence last spring,
there was some sad backsliding among
the natives. The young King Uludon-
do was poisoned at the instigation of
his uncle, Umdwendwe, by one of the
chief Indunas. The old Queen dowager
thereupon Immediately called together
all the chiefs, and in the evening, at
sunset, killed many of those implicated
in her sons death, including the guilty
uncle. She then dispatched thousand
warriors to the country OF Umdwendwe,
with orders to slay all the people, in
Guiding women and children. The
slaughter was great, some 4, 900 being
slain in the district.

SparrOws Eating Mosquitoes.

When nuisances swarm it is pleasant
to note the discovery of means to re-
move them. Let the sparrows multi
ply, we all say, if they promise to do
us the service represented here A
highly respectable gentleman of New
York says that for three years past
mosquitoes have been diminishing in
New York city. He was in the city day
and night during two months last sum-
mer, and did not see one mosquito, nor
hear more than two or three during the
night watches. He attributes this
change to the active service of the Eng
lish sparrows, which have recently been
introduced in the city. Four years ago
twenty pairs were imported and provis-
ion was made for their accommodation.
Now it is estimated that there. are five
thousand pairs in the New York park
and gardens and their active and in
dustrious habits are believed to have
materially diminished the swarms of
mosquitoes which heretofore made the
city byword and kissing among oil
light sleepers who have sensitive skins.

A Bride and Her Double.

The woeful predicament in which a
Chinese would-be bridegroom found
himself is described by Yokohama
Gapan) correspondent of the Cleve-
land Herald. He writes GA very
curious story comes to us from China.
A bride was on her way in a sedan
chair from the house of her parents to
her husbands abode. Passing through
graveyard, the bearers of the chair
noticed that their burden grew heavier.
This, however, they ascribed to fatigue,
On reaching the bridegroom's house,
though, what was the dismay of the
honest folk to find, on opening the
chair, two brides instead of one. Two
spick, span new brides, alike even to q
hairpin /! Confusion reigned, and po-
lygamy was imminent. Better counsel
prevailed, however, and the about-to-
be mother-in-law Appeared and insti-
tuted searching investigation. But
even maternal eyes and instinct failed,
and the old lady was obliged to give it
up in despair, being heard to declare,
soto uoce, that she never knew that
girl was twins before. Just at this
moment bright thought occurred to
the father. He remembered that his
girl was what the Chinese call rip.
snorter at weaving, and he forthwith
suggested that the two girls be set to
spinning, and the one who came out
last. be declared to be 't'other.' Nc
sooner said than done. The girls were
put in separate rooms, and the mate
rails for spinning placed at hand. The
doors were locked, and watch and ward
kept over them by the anxious parents
and all the old ladies of the neighbor
hood. When the day was done the
doors were opened and the work exam
ined. Wonder of wonders Both girls
had done the same amount; neither
had thread more nor less than the
other. The poor father pulled his pig

dressed the assembled company a,
