The Portland Oregonian says:
Times are dull in Portland,
that is certain. There is a state
of semi-stagnation all over the
State. Hence many people are
discontinued, and talk of leav-
ing. That is natural when one
finds the grass short" in his
accustomed pasture, for him to
suppose thee is local to think
of seeking other fields. But
those thinking thus concerning
the present hard times in Ore>
gon, mistake the facts. Times
are hard here, and they are no
less so everywhere else"

find much favor nowadays.

the newspapers express it, is
that the next Presidential cam
paign will be a straight contest
between the Republican and
Democratic parties. Occasion
ally a Republican journal, with
unusual boldness, declares that
the only possibility of a third
ticket is the denomination of
President Grant, in which case
the better and larger part of
the Republican party would
demand another candidate; but
these journals, like all others
of the party, ritlicule the idea
of a third term as unworthy of
serious consideration. Ssf

The ancient Sanscrlt manuscripts are well

ing to recent report made to tho Indian Coy
arnmAnt by the Baboo antiquarian Rajendra
Lalamitra, now employed in examining into the
subject, the oldest known date back nearly to
the beginning Of tha twelfth century.
Such records, it is stated, are extreme
II rare, tho majority of the pa1m-leAf
writings not going back beyond the end
Of the sixteenth century. On the other hand,
tue paper MSS OF sanscrit writings ara found
to be many Of them much older than was be-
lie7ed. one copy OF the 'Bhagavata Pnrana"
on this material being OF the year L. u. 1910.
Tue secret OF thcir existence and preservation is
not merely that the natives Of India knew
how to make good stout paper nearly
COO years eince, but that they carefully sized
it with yellow arsenic laid over with vegetable
emulsion, and 20 ehectua1ly preserved it. For
tho report tells us that mo insect or worm will
attack arsonicized paper" And, although It
seems that the Superior appearance and cheap
ness Of European paper has Of late years caused
it 10 be adopted for official and other documents
needing preservation, the Baboo adds, - This ie
great ulstake - it ia pot near 80 durable. and
is labe to be rapidly dsstrorsd BY tha insects"

Under Commodore Bainbridge, later the sams
year, after IN action Of thrce hours, she caused
the Jaws, another British frigate, to surrender.
In 1914, with Capt. Charles Stewart in command,
she captured the oyane and the Leyant, both
heavily armed, and together making d most ut.-
equal match for our gallant shin. After the
conclusion of tho var Of 1912, aba vas used as D
