CALEB CusHISG.-" Templeton," in n
letter from Boston to the Hartford Cou-
rant, says of Caleb Cushing:
Nobody ever heard of his being sick.
Nobody expects him to die. At the age
Of seventy he has the vitality and vigor
Of less than sixty. He is as good Tor
twenty years Of life, apparently, as any
man in Washington. He is not at all of
the Horace Greeley stamp. Mr. Greeley
had nearly as fair and fine frame when
be was nominated for the Presidency.
Six months later the modification of de-
feat killed him. Mr. Gushing has re-
ceived almost as severe a blow. with u
dozen years more Of the burden of life
upon his back to take away the power OF
resistance. 1t will hardly destroy his
appetite for dinner. or lose him n
nights sleep. He has gone through
several similar experiences before. and
has come up smiling after every one Of
them. A gentleman of this city who has
known him. and almost every body else
in public life for two generations, said OF
Cushing yesterday: He has the prime
requisites for old age. bad heart and
good digestion" II was the speech Of II
cynic, of course, bat it measured Mr..
Gushing accurately.

WHAT WILL BE TUE PRICE.

The Oregonian of last Tuesday has
the following observations under the
caption, "How much for wheat ?"
Considerable speculation is going
on just now upon the probabilities in
regard to the wheat market this fall.
Some think prices will be maintained
as high as those of last year, while
others express the opinion they will
be lower than for some years past.
The question, SO far as our farmers
are concerned, is one which depends
largely upon rates of transportation.
1t is hardly likely that San Francisco
prices will rule as high as last year.
At all events present indications are
to the contrary. While San Fran
cisco has ceased to be the main mar
ket for Oregon grain, is is neyerthe-
less true that when prices there are
known, is easy to approximate the
rates here. When wheat isquoted at
81 Is per Genital at San Francisco
our farmers may count upon about
85 cents per bushel at Portland.
With plenty of tonnage to carry away
our surplus, and with less of facti-
tious and unfounded terror about the
bar at the mouth of the Columbia
River, the difference of quotations
between San Francisco and Portland
would be far less. 1t is believed by
many who are familiar with the snb-
ject that with complete facilities for
transportation the margin in favor of
the California producer, would be
merely nominal.
What figures will rule up the val
ley will depend largely upon the abil-
ity of the farmers to hold on to their
crops till the stage of water will per-
NIT them to avail themselves of river
transportation. Those who are com
PEELED to sell early, will lose very
considerable on this account. The
river boats will, it is supposed, be
quite sufficient to move all the crop
within reach of them, and those who
can wait for them will save far more
than tho interest on the money they
might get for their crops by dispos
ing Of them earlier There is hardly
any likelihood of prices declining be-
fore the fall, so as to make it an OBJ
ject to ship Immediately, At least
this is the opinion of gentlemen who
have given the subject a good deal of
thought,

paper has heretofore been uniformly
fair and temperate in discussion and
criticism, hence, we are much sur
prised to observe the temperin which
he treats his hospitable neighbors Of

matter. The management of that af-
fair certainly did greater honor to
our sister city of Corvallis than any
other locality. The Reader of Dec
laration, fone of the Vice Presidents
aud the Fire Department we're all es-
pecially invited from that city, and,
if all that attention was not bestowed
upon them which they had antici-
pated, the more generous construc-
ton upon the omission would have
been that it was rather from q want
ofoppertunity and resources than any
lack of hospitality upon the part of
our citizens.
