RD-The condition of the Force bill las
the bill is called which authorizes the
suspension of habeas corpus and other
wise directs the enforcement of peace
and good order in some of the turbulent
southern states. was doubtful, on
Saturday last.
An effort was made TO call the
previous question shortly after one
o'clock Coburn, who had charge of the
bill, is entitled to one hour. The i'm
preston was that the bill would
either be defeated SO emascul ated that
1t would amount to nothing. The
entire day was consumed in discussion
and voting on It's various provisions.
There seemed little doubt that the
clause relating to habeas corpus would
be stricken out. Blaine and other
prominent republicans were working
assiduously against it Oh the republican
side. 1t was expected that Blaine
would make speech against it.
On the Louisiana question there is
no change in the aspect of affairs. Mr.
Hoar gave notice OH Saturday that as
soon as the force bill was out of the
way, he intended to call up his report
for consideration.

SHIPMENTS OF Flour AND GRAIN FROM
EGoN.-Six years since, not vessel
was loaded IRON Oregon for Europe with
wheat or -four. Last year, there were
eighty-lour cargoes Of wheat and -four sent
to Europe, Honolulu, China aud Rio
Janeiro. Quite number more will be
dispatched with the balance Of the wheat
of last harvest--at least eighteen more
vessels, making one. hundred in all. 10
1869, 80, 305 bushels of wheat and two.
hundred barrels only of -four were ship.
ped to Europe, amounting to only $50,
AL. During the last six months Of 1874
there were 74,715 bushels of wheat and
2S,S11 barrels of -four shipped to Europe
and few other foreign ports, valued at
S1,026,302. Tho shipments to San
Francisco during the same periods are
equally striking as indicative of the same
progress In 1889 there were shipped
from Portland to San Francisco 5S,067
bushels of wheat. 1851 barrels of -four,
valued at S425,G1G, During the six
months ending December 9lst. 1874,
there were shipped to the same port 440,-
6l5 bushels of wheat and 1887 barrels
of flour. valued at S791,274. There is
at least a third of the wheat Of the har-
vest of 1874 to ship yet. If there was
mutual confidence established between the
merchants, shippers and farmers, the
wheat production Of the State would in.
crease still more rapidly in the years 70
como than it has in the past.

Found HIS MISTAKE. In the northern
part of the State Of New York, there
lived few years since, 4 thrifty mer-
chant whose misfortune it was to have
but one eye. Learning however that
that there was a doctor in the city who
inserted artificial eyes hardly to be dis
tipguisbcd from natural ones, he re.
solved on giving him call whenever he
went down after bis annual supply of
goods 10 accordance with this rcsolu-
ton, The next time be visited the city he
sought out the doctor and by diut of a
good deal Of lying, and falsely represent
ing himself to be 10 destitute circumstan-
ces be succeeded in getting an eye insert.
ed for the moderate sum OF ten dollars.
After time it came to the doctors ears
that he had been imposed upon that Mr..
was not the poor man he had repre-
scented himself to be. out in fact he
was merchant in good standing, and
abundantly able to pay for all he had.
He resolved on being even with him. Ac-
cordipgly about the time he thought he
would be likely to make his purchases Of
goods, he kept strict watch for him, and
it SO happened that one day being on the
street he CHANGED to meet his customer
square in the face. After the usual salu.
tons he enquired after the eye, and was
informed that it worked admirably, Civ.
ing perfect satisfaction. He requested
permission 10 examine it, and while do.
ing SO, be with the point Of his knife ad.
roitly lifted it out Of place when it fell on
TIE pavement. He instantly placed his
foot on it and ground it to atoms remark
ing as he did so, There, sir, whenever
you want another eye, you'll have to pay
for it, for / want you to remember there
as none bm God and myself that make
eyes !" III.

TERRIBLE DISASTER AND Less OF LIFE
On Thursday evening, shortly after
I o'clock, the congregation Of st. Andrews
Church. New York, were assembled al
evening vespers, which were being cele'
brated by the Rev. DR.. Carroll, of St
Stephens Church. The church was well
filed the congregation for the most part
consisting OF women and children Adj
joining the church were the bare wall.
Of Straus' crockery store, which was
burnt few days ago. The high wind
which prevailed with the heavy rair
storm batted against these unsupported
walls, aud about s o'clock, or shortly
after, the west wall gave way under the
immense strain upon it, aud went crash
ing through the church roof, over which
it topped, falling on the east gallery
principally, which at the time was
crowded with people, killing some and
wounding others. Fortunately the
gallery withstood the severe shock, other
wise the loss Of life would have beer
much greater, A panic seized the con
gregation and they all as with one impulse
made involuntarily for the doors like q
pack of frightened sheep, trampIing dowr
the weaker aud younger persons present
Some Of the congregation were seized
with fright and many fell aud became
unconscious or fell senseless. where they
had been standing in their pews A
squad of police and the 6remen from
Chamber street station were quickly OF
the spot and rendered valuable assistance
10 removing the dead and dying from
underneath the fabric. The ambulancel
from the Park Hospital aud stretcheri
from the nearest Police stations wer,
hurried to the scene aud the injured were
taken to Park Hospital, while the dcaC
were either taken to their homes or t.
the moreue. SO far as could be learned
the number Of killed is six. with a large
number Of injured, but none fatally.
