prejudice among the people Of this country
against mutton as an article of food. We
are able to account for this state of feeling
only upon the assumption that it results from
the absence of habit We all know that
taste, to a very great degree, depends upon
Use, and we know also that pork, in some
form, has been the great staple upon the
farmers table, and that mutton has found
its way there only occasionally, and often
then only Of very inferior quality, and in
such condition as 10 impart Il strong sleepy
flavor 10 the meat. The sheep and lamb are
among the most beautiful, and at the same
time, the most cleanly Of animals, while all
physicians agree in recommending the use OF
mutton or lamb as among the most healthful
of all animal foods. a large proportion of
the tillers of the soil drag out miserable days,
simply because they persist In eating salt pork
salt hams and shoulders, IL spring and sum

them new life and strength. Salt meat of

The Solid Men Of Portland.

4 correspondent Of the Sacramento JHie,
( hAs the following sketch Nf geNtiewsn NShS
! are web known 70 the majority oi oai
readers:
! Those who were IN Portland at an early
day, and have marked the changes that haze
come over Oregon since the gold excitement
/ commenced, take delight in pointing out GU,
/ leading men and telling their respective his.
| tories. Scarce one among them ali brought
any large sum to Oregon. OF the early mer-
chants who are now rich, several came here
from New York, set up in trade here by the
good Will Of old employers there, and who
! justified the prudent opinion entertained OF
/ them there by careful business management
and great success here. Two Of these I have
in nay mind who came to Portland in the fall
| of 1851, opened houses of trade, and are now
men in life's prime, rich in world goods and
richer yet IN fair reputation. One of these Is
Henry Failing, Mayor Of our beautiful city,
and the other is Henry W Corbett, late
United States Senator. The two are brothers.
in-law, and are leading men in the First Ma
tOnal Bank. One of the greatest incOrpOra-
tions and most profitable Of Oregon monopo-
lies is the Steam Navigation Company, which
owns the portages at the Dalles and Cascades.
and so controls, without chance for oppoSi-
ton, the entire business of the Columbia
river. Captain Ainsworth. President of this
company, ran one of the first steamboats, on
the Willamette river, and he probably was
the protector Of the combination which was
formed of steamboat owners 10 make the
company and secure the possession Of the por-
tages. The little boats grew 10 larger, the
rough wagon roads around the portayes Were
replaced with railroads, and 50 the great
monopoly was established.
J. e. Ainsworth ). 5. Reed, and Il. r.
Thompson can be found at the pleasant rooms
of the Oregon Steam Navigation Company
almost any time, and the two latter have be-
come amateur farmers and breeders on a large
scale They own several good farms apiece.
Reed has penchant for stock, and his ely
desdale and shorthOrns are the glory of Ore
g0n- Thompson has set bis heart on q steam
plOw which weighs untold tons and costs q
mint Of money. will venture to cay that
he can raise all the wheat he wants for 81
buShel, and does raise it at fully that.
Money flows IN 10 them like a food, and
they fancy farming as a relief from the agony
of having to take care of it And it is a Won
derful relief, to be sure; but time was when
one Of them drove an honest draw, and
Heaven knows what the other did tefore an
Indian agency gave him solid ground to
travel on.
w. S. Ladd, the banker is considered one
of the most liberal of citizens. He came to
Oregon soon after the gold excitement, and
was glad TO find employment as clerk He

TIE ECSTASY

The stigmas are the least extraordinary
part of this case. For several hours On En-
days she Is wrapt into an ecstasy and becomes
wholly oblivious to the external world.
What she sees she has spoken OF under eccle-
siastic obedience. She is in a. sea OF hight "
in which she sees Christ undergoing his
agony in the garden aud on the cross She
sees and describes the faces and dresses OF the
apostles, the Blessed Virgin, the Roman SOL
diers, and the Jewish pupulace. Her crown of
tborus then feels like band of iron, red hot,
,,resseI into her brain. When she sees Christ
maltreated she suffers excruciatiug agony,
and this agony is increased when festival
Of Christ, or of tue dolorous Virgin, cores
-ands with Fridav. She experiences delight
when prayer is said, even in the most inaudi-
bic tone er ia an unknown language. She
is recalled from her ecstasy by the voice of
an ecclesiastical superior. She Is inSensible
10 every other command. She recognizes the
consecrated band of II priest or blessed
medal or a relic. An American bishop and
the great Abbot of S4Iernes, Dom Jueranger,
just dead, put her TO the most extraordinary
Of spiritual tests by presenting 10 her the
pyx containing the eucharist. She displayed
the most intense delight, which she failed to
exhibit when an uneonSeerated host was pre-
sen,ed.

except brightness AMI occasionally slight
inflammation over the stigmas, which never
bleed except on Friday. Though suffering
very acute pain during the ecstacy, outside
of it she suffers neither heat nor cold Since
September, 1868, she has hardly slept at all,
sitting in her chair all night recitiug the
rosary, a well-known Ca'hol;c prayer and
neditation on the life OF Christ Since
March 3, 1911, Feast of the Seven Dolors Of
Mary, she has eaten almost nothing, and the
little that was made the exception has been
taken in obedience 10 her parents or her con-

with great difficulty and pain. To this there

Immigrant LabOrers.

There are two classes OF lmmigTants-thOse
W no possess capltaI enough 20 buy IasNd and
stock farms. and those whose whole capital
is in their strong arms. We yesterday pointed
out plan by which the first class could be
assisted to settle advantageously. but it is far
more difficult to suggest feasible manner of
providing for the laboring element. The
State Grange, however, has so confidently
invited labor TO this coast, and has, through
its Immigration Bureau, held out such glow
ing inducements, that we cannot suppose
these steps were taken without consideration,
and must assume, at least antil the contrary
is demonstrated, that there really is a wider
demand Tor labor than We had believed exist
ed Under the circumstances, therefore, We
take it to be the imperative duty of the State
Grange to exert itself in providing employ
ment for the mass of labor it has been SO
largely instrumental in bringing here. And,
besides what the Grange ought to do, it may
be suggested that there viii never be a better
time than the present for getting rid of
/" Chinese cheap labor, since white labor is
destined evidently to be so cheap that it Will
be brought within the reach of all That Is,
of course, assuming that the labor market is
rather over than under done, as facts appear
to indicate. If, on the other hand, there
really is room and to spare in existing indus
tries for all who are coming among US, there
will be 10 considerable or permanent fall in
wages. But We shall not advise anybody to
take that view of the situation. Finally, if
it is proved that some thousands of people
must suffer for want of work, it Will become
necessary 10 devise means of employing them;
and here our great landowners can, If they
cL 1Ose, help materially in the solution of the
pr,, ,hlem by dividing up their enormous hold
mos. s. ni2g small parcels on easy terms to
actual settlers, aud eschewing the usurious
practices which have II, .,Sde land monopoly q
stencil in the nostrils of the people he~atOfOre.
We copy the above from the Sacramento
Record, and We do so for the purpose of indi-
eating the danger that is sure to attend a
wild rush of immigrants. Men who have
with them a few hundred or few thousand
dollars, are always an acquisition to new
country, bat a wild rush cf penniless adven-=
turers to country like our own is an evil to
be deprecated. Small farmers, and repre-
sentatives of the various industrial classes
who have the means to engage in business on
their own accoun', Will here find field for
the exercise Of their skill; bat for the class
who depend upon working for others, the
de.aaud is limited, and anything like rush
