THERE is at least one man in Oregon
possessed of conscience. The Secre-
tary of War lately received letter from
Portland, in that State, which read as
follows CT was once In the service of
the United States, but now am in the
service of my God. Enclosed find post
Office money-order for forty dollars,

GEN. SHERMAN once defined his reli-
gious creed to Miss Grundy thus 81
believe if people will act only half as
well as they know how in this world
they viii be ali right IN the next" The
General says he is not Catholic or a
Protestant or denominationalist of any
kind Mrs Sherman is Catholic, but
she never allows that fact to make
her forget that she is Gen. Sherman's
wife.
IT is no small affair to hold the Office
of Mayor Of London. A man of moder-
ate fortune can not perform the duties of
the Office, as in addition to the $780,
900 allowed him to pay his g Expenses"
he has to spend as much more from his
private purse to pay for all the banquets
and balls he is in duty bound to give,
beside disbursing largely to public char
tiles. About 500, 600 will just take his
Honor through the year. AS Cotton,
the newly-elected Mayor, is enormously
rich, he stands chance of getting
through the ordeal.
GEN. ORD, Commander of the Military
Department of Texas, in his annual re-
port to the Secretary of War, after Civ
ing a lengthy account of the border
operations of Mexican banditti, makes
these significant suggestions: "More
ettectual means must be adopted than

pie are being despoiied and murdered,
for it is very evident that the soldiers,
however wiling, can do nothing If con-
fined to this side of the river, and an
order to make reprisals, with means to
carry out the order, has sometimes re-
suited In indemnity as well as security
The New York TIMES recently made
fierce assault upon the publishers of the
Graphic. The latter, instead of reply
ing in kind, makes a neat point in the
appended paragraph Jennings is
more than suspected of keeping two
hypothenuses in his house and being on
intimate terms with cosine. The corns
on his head are at times So troublesome
as to create vertigo and hurl reason
from her throne. One of his eyes is bot
tie green and his hair is red he is
afflicted with heterophemy and aphasia.
When he sleeps he lies on one ear for a
bed and uses the other as a quilt his
toes lap. We call upon him to answer
these charges.
AN English correspondent of st.
Louis paper gives an elaborate descrip-
ton of Mentmore, the country seat of
the English branch of the Rothschilds.
The vases, statuary and other embellish-
ments and furniture of the great entrance
hall alone are valued at Sd, 000, 900, while
the rest of the mansion is furnished with
like costliness. The furniture of single
bedrooms cost $3.50, 1000 each, and of the
dining-room $1,OOO,0OO,' The house is
so large that it took the correspondent
three hours to pass through the rooms
without stopping in any one Of them,
and the whole is alleged to surpass any
other establishment of the kind In Eu-
rope, even royal and imperial palaces.
IT'S sweet to be revenged. A few
years ago, writes a correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune, two farmers in
Emmett County, Iowa, got into contro-
versy about calf. They went into
court. Both were stubborn and plucky.
1t did not take long to absorb the calf.
Soon the surplus property of the iti-
