Roseburg has got one of the cham
pion thieves in Jail. lie gives his
name as james Field, and everything
he touches sticks to his fingers. The
PlWmealer says that after he was ar
rested. parties went to his cabin and
demanded Of a woman he had been
living with mile or two above town,
the articles Field had stolen. She
commenced handing them out. and
among hundred different articles
there were several blankets, sheets and
Il feather bed. a Bible, tin buckets,
lamps, wagon sheets, etc. In addition
to this, the woman stated that his
thefts had extended from Portland to
Douglas county, and that on the trip
he stole twenty-three hams, several
sides of bacon and numberof chick
ems. ana robbed three bee-hives. The
woman is a character herself, but
more honest and a harder worker than
her wretch Of paramour. During
the winter she has cut two cords and a
half of wood a day nearly every day,
and is proud OF her strength and pow
ers of endurance.

The President is preparing n mes
eage to Congressil which isa complete
statement of facts with regard to Fed
eral proceedings in Louisiana in sup
port of the u. s. Court. Grant Is OPP
posed to any legislation by Congress
ordering new election in that State,
although he has no hesitation in saying
that the election was an organized
fraud from beginning to end. for the
benefit of those now in possession OF
the State government. and that there
has not vet been fair count of the
votes; that the pretended result has
been reached by dishonest means. too
well known to be repeated. Still his
conviction is that Congress has no
more right to order new election
there than it has to order an election
in any.othrr State because Of local con-
flicts. all the States now being on All
enual status IN the Union, and entitled
to the same protection for Illegal or
unconstitutional interference by any
branch of the Federal Government as
they are against invasioas.

The criticisms of Ex-Governor H.
S. Foote. of Mississippi. on Jefferson
Davis. continuing to be quite annov-
ing, friend of the latter wrote to
him. calling his attention to the mat
ter. Following is Davis reply.
MEMPHIS Tenn, Nov. %, 1873.
'.Dem SIR: Yours of the Goth inst. Is
at hand. have not seen any of the
articles which you inform me II. $.
Foote has written in abnse Of me. nor
have any desire to read whatever he
might write. In the year 1871 pub
lished him MS constitntionally a liar.
and his subsequent career only served
to confirm me in that Judgment,
Since that date. therefore. | have taken
no heed of the utterance of Foote. His
flatterys when he was seeking political
preferIncnt in the Confedemcy and his
abuse when, Eithless TO his trust as a
Representative in the Congress Of the
Confederate States. he was preparing
for his desertion to their enemies, were
alike disregarded by me. You are NJ
liberty to use this as you think proper.
| remain respectfully and truly YOUR.

WHO CAN ExrLAIN?-Says the
Scientific AmeH'can: The ''creeping"
of railroads has attracted some atten-
tion of late, and while we do not at
tempt to explain it, we offer a point
on the tact that OH lines running
North rand South the Western ''creepS'
faster than the Eastern rail; that is,
this very strange movement of the
rail toward the South is more marked
in one rail than in the other OH the
same track. Furthermore. it has heen
noticed that on such line the Eastern
rail wears out the fastest, Both of
these points. we think. can be explain
en- by the motion of the earth rs it
turns from the West to the East. Ev-
erything that has free motion is drag
ged after the whirling globe; every
wind that blows, and every tide that
moves, feels the influence, and our
trains going South or North are pulled
over toward the East, and naturally
presses the Eastern rail the heaviest.
The Western rail being thus relieved
from its share of weight, ''creeps"
more frequently and quickly. 1t Is
also noticed that the Eastern rail wears
out the fastest. and we think that the
earth's motion is the true cause. The
practical side OF this is. that the East
ern rail and wheels should be made
stronger.

A VEGETABLE MoNsTROsITY.-We
do not vouch tor the truthfulness OF
the following story. or OF the paper
that originated it, but give it just as
it comes from the Centralia (Mo.
Gaad. That paper says: Mr. J.
r. Walker, residing midway between
this place and Fayette. on last Monday
brought to this office, for our inspec-
tion, a cernstalk measuring the en-
ormous length Of twenty-six feet and
eight inches. which was grown on
his farm the past Summer. The only
product of this mammoth corn-stalk
was a strange monstrosity in the corn
line, it being combination OF five
fully developed, healthy ears Of corn,
grown conpactly together in one solid
mass. while at the lower end was a
curious formation, with six perfect
and faultlessly formed fingers, the
latter being blood red while the bal
ance of the corn is ofsnowy wliteness.
This wonderful freak of nature meas
>ures twenty-seven inches in length by
fifteen inches in circumference. and
weighs thirty-two pounds. It grew
within five feet of the ground, while
the balance of the stock lowered aloft
like flag staff, and was bare as d
bean pole, with the exception OF the
tassel on the top. 1t grew in rich bot
tom land, and although there were 40
acres of corn surrounding 1t. no other
stalks grew above the usual height.
Mr.. Walker intends sending this mon
strosity to the agricultural museum at
Washington"

CURIOUS If TRuE.-The most pow
erful telescopes present the moon so
far off that only the larger objects can
be seen. But photograph here gives
Us some assistance. Such picture
presents all the minutest details, and
these can be magnitied by powerful
microscope. The latter may magnify
many millions oftimes. Now placing
a minute section of such moon photo

appears no obstacle to our penetrating

smooth under the microscope. and that
material is the object now to be found.

The Professor of Natural Philosophy
in certain college recently gave the
class problem to think Of during the
night, and answered the next day.
Tie question was this; IF a hole
were bored through the center of the
earth. from side TO side, and a ball
dropped into it, what motions would
the ball pass through. and where
would it come to u state ofrcsts" The
next morning a student was called up
to solve the problem. "What answer
have YOU to give to the question:"
asked the professor. "Well. really"
replied the student, II have not
thought OF the main question, but ofa
preliminary one. How are you going
to get that hole bored through?"

We hear a great deal about the
necessity for cheap labor, and we
are told that the prosperity Of ag.
ricultural and manufacturing inter
ests depend upon it. Cheap labor
is another name for poor and in.
efficient labor, and this can be ap-
piled only to coarse and cheap
products. What is really wanted
is skillul labor, and it may he
cheap even if it is called dear.
Merchants and business men uD-
drrstand this we'll enough, for they
can afford to pay a good salesman
or manager high wages, while they
cannot afford to have poor ones at
any price. Farmers, however;csm
little about skilled labor: all they
want is that it shall be cheap, and
when they run behind they demand
as remedy that labor shall be
cheaper still.
