JOTTINGS FROM THE CAPITAL.

Salem, city of churches, is beautifully
located on the right bank Of the wind
ing Willamette, with the Cascade noun
tains in the distance upon the one hand,
and the glorious Polk county hills much
nearer on the other. The streets of the
city are wide and,regular, the buildings
well-built and scattering, the people
prosperous and healthy, and the busi-
ness dull. No city of its size and age
can boast finer array of shade trees or
n greater number of gardens, agrieultu-
raj or ornamental. The majority of the
citizens live in their own houses, and
live under their own vines and ffg-trees.
OF public buildings there are the new
Court House, and ever so many churches,
while the new State House and the long
unfinished Methodist Church loom up
all bare and ghastly in the autumn at
mosphere, awaiting the tardy action Of
everybody.
Breyman Brothers are building new
store, after the style of the White
House, of San Francisco, and Clarke &

late of The Dalles, is doing thriving
business. The city is at present dis
graced by indecent journalism, of which
the good people are complaining fear
fully. 1t is evident that they will not
endure the Mcdonald la=eppd much
longer. The Record appears pretty well
by contrast with its daily contemporary,

usually performed by women in other
capacities.

Triple Thunderer," Mcdonald, we're
compelled to give his real name or no.
body'll know HIM, to induce the editor
of the NEW NORTHWEST to attack him
having proved futile, he now tries an
other tack and accuses as of being the

of which we are not only not guilty,
but wouldn't want forgiveness if We

Popular Science.

IMPROVED MEDIUM OF AgTIFiCfM
LIGHT FOR TIE EYEs.-The painful
effects of some of the most usual kinds
of artificial light for the eye is well
known, even to many xh's sc natural
vision is quite uninpaired. This Is
attributed by recent investigators to
the great proportion Of really nom
luminous rays, or rays OF mere ca!orlc,
bearing no illumination, which 1t con-
tains. 1t is claimed to be demonstra-
ted, by actual analysis, that in sun
light there are 30 per cent OF such
rays, in gaslight nearly 80, in electric
light so, and in kerosene light as
many as "a. Without vouching TOR
the correctness of these figures, the
announcement is worth repeating that
a German chemist named Lonsberg
processes to have discovered that ny
passing any kind Of artificial light
through thin layer of alum or mica
these caloric rays are absorbed, while
the Illuminating power OF the true
lightrays is undirninished, and be-
comes mild and pleasant 10 the eye.

Domestic Economy.

RICE PUDDING.-One cup Of rice;
three quarts of milk one teaspooniul
of salt; two.thirds of a cup of sugar
bake very slowly. Eat with butter.
or leave out the sugar, and serve with
sauce. One egg; one tea cup OF SUI
gar beat together twenty minutes ;
two-thirds Of u pint Of boiling water.
QUIET WoRKEEs.-Domg any kind
of work about home quietly seems TO
make it easier. A slainming of oven
doors, clatter of dishes, and kindred
noises, tire and bewilder all who hear
them. The persons who accomplish
the most and best in anything-and
the rule applies to house Sork-are
usually the quiet workers.
FRIED SWEET PoTAToEs-The day
before they are wanted, peel and slice
them. lay them in a stew pan and
sprinkle sugar between the layers of
potatoes; pour on water enough to
cover them, and set the stew pan on
the stove. In the morning, by the
time you are ready to fry them, they
will be cooked just enough; fry in
hot lard to light brown on both
sides.
TO REMOVE GREASE SPoTs Tho
ordinary method OF removing grease
spots Oh articles of clothing, &c. by
means of benzine is not always very
effectual, but removes less than it ac-
tually spreads. TO remove grease
spot from a garment, place a thick
piece Of blotting paper ufdernesth
the stain and another piece above it,
after thoroughly saturating the spot
with benzine. A hot hat-iron is now
applied to the upper piece of paper Y,
and pressed on it for some time. The
result is the complete absorption OF
the grease by the 5lOtting paper.

Az IXD1ANA SCANDAL-The lovers
of scandal IN South Bend, Indiana,
are being entertained by a double
headed case OF bigamy. The parties
are Thomas \. Swearingen and hi:
wife Rhoda f. They were married
about four years ago, and a year al
terward the husband left the wife
upon learning that she was i'll CORES
pondence with another husband. Rho
da, upon learning that Thomas had q
wife living when he married her
filed complaint for bigamy. Nei
ther party denies former marriage,
but Rhoda thought her husband
dead at the time she married the sec
ond. She was divorced from the
first, but not until after marriage
with Swearingen. In case the latter
should bring suit against Rhoda there
will be rich sensation. Swearinger
was held in $500 bail for his appear
ancc at the Circuit Court.

/ ORCHARD AND NURsERY.-If not
vet cut, attend to cutting scions at
,once, as it will not do to cut after the
buds have started. Preserve in sand
or sawdust until needed.
| Plant root gratis in nursery rows as
soon rs the ground will allow.
Seeds of fruit and ornamental trees
should be sown as soon as the ground
is in good condition. Peach-stones.
nuts, etc, which were buried in box.
es in the open ground last fall, should
be planted at once, before they CON-
mence to grow.
Do not commence grating until
the buds swell. If left until too late
the bark slips SO readily that there Is
danger of injuring the tree by peel
ing.
In tree planting, do not attempt to
do it hastily; one tree planted well Is
worth dozen poorly set. Take pains
to break all Jumps which come in con.
tact with the roots, and, besides.
make the hole large enough to allow
the roots to lie straight in their natu-
raj positions.
Insects will need looking after, rs
eternal vigilance is the price of heal ?
thy trees and good fruit. Wash the
trunks and larger limbs with lye or SOFT
soap suds, if not already done; this,
if done with stiff brush, after the
bark has been taken off, will destroy
most OF the eggs of insects. Look
out for the rings Of tent caterplllars'
eggs on the ends of the twigs; they
can be easily seen and destroyed now.
WHAT ASHES AND PLASTER DID,
During the year 1857, man named
Arthur Dugan went to the town of
Palermo, n. Y, and bought sixty
acres of dry, sandy land, with here
and there little pertaining TO gravel.
He paid $500 for it. He knew
nothing about farming, being ma
chinist by trade, and never held n
plow. After paying for his land, he
had 1920 left. He found his land
was worn out. He began by buying
ashes and plaster; he would draw po-
tatoes fourteen miles, to Oswego, and
load his team back with manure from
the livery stables. His crops increas-
ed +; his ashes were spread correspond
ingly thick. He raised principally
potatoes and wheat. Now he buys
about 1000 bushels of ashes per year.
His potatoes for several years past,
average $50 bushels per acre; his
winter wheat 30 bushels or over, and
he has saved from his farm alone, till
he now holds Sl2, 600 in bank stock,
and would not sell his farm for sl0C
per acre. He sold IN 1869, in pOta-
toes and wheat, over 81, 800 WORTH
He is known rs the best farmer in
the county. Yet when he began
buying ashes, old farmers shook their
heads and said: "He will know bet
ter when he has farmed it as long as
we have.
BUYING THIYGs.-A farmer should
never go to town without carrying
to sell-butter, eggs. po-
tatoes, poultry, or even a load of
wood. By so doing, his income is
quite sure TO exceed his out-goes.-
There is not more miserable and
poverty-stricken way than to keep
sending to stores and shops, and bav-
ing things charged, with the expecta.
tion of paying for them when special
crops come.

MINE AND THINE.
BY MISS FANNIE K. FOSTER.
Soft and fair as a rose-bloom white,
Was the dainty hand pressed that night,
In the silver now Of the May moonlight.
Bright and chaste was the golden band
left that eve on the plighted hand
or the purest maid in a Christian land.
Sweet the lay OF the minstrel bird,
In its chamber green, by zephyrs stirred,
But, aye, sweeter far was each trembling WORD
Dropt by the fragrant rare-ripe lips,
Like scarlet buds. where the trochil dips,
And the bee OF the honeyed nectar sips.
Dim the light OF the morrow's rise,
Though rosy flush o'erswept the skies,
For the dead lids sealed down the sea- blue eyes
Mine when the misty moonbeamS fair
Swept DER the gloss OF her golden hair,
And the night-buds breathed on the dewy air
Thine. oh, God ere the sunbeams kissed
The skies into gold and amethyst
And my life thr0bs on through fearful mist!

Spanish women, says the Herald,

but American women demand an in

after a time, men grow tired ofbeing

EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT.
EDITED BY f. G. TABER,.

Mr.. Taber, editor of the educational
column, asks the question: "What in
ducement is there for person to spend
his time and money in trying to obtain
first class certificate, if school boards will
pay teacher holding..a low grade of GER
tlficate the same salary p
In reply would say, that in a pecuni-
ary sense there is no inducement wbatev-
er, and so long as school boards nav no re-
gard to the egrade of the qualifications of
OF the teacher, they should not complain
If they are imposedssupon by those who
have no real taste, or talent for the high
and noble calling of teacher, but simply
engage temporarily in the business.
We do not expect high degree of ex-
cellence from the novice in any other bus
mess or profession then why should we
expect the science of teaching to be an ex-
ception to the general rule ?
Whenever the public arrive at the con-
clusion, that eminence in the art of teach
ing is to be obtained in the same way that
eminence is obtained in any other art or
profession, and are willing to offer such
inducements as will secure the best talent
permanently in the work, then and not till
then, may we expect such work in the
school room, as will satisfy the most ex-
acting, and please the most fastidious.
