a usage of the past. This princess Of
all the lovely towns, noted for its lux
uriance of fruit and foliage, the thrift OF
her citizens, her quiet and staid demean-

HAD Coon TINE GENERALLY The
Seattle Dispatch learns from citizens Of
that place who attended our celebration
that it was decided success; that the
programme was strictly carried out from
the salute in the morning to the ball in
the evening; which assurances are
gratefully noted and acknowledged.
The Dispatch says: "The great feature
of the day was the parade of the Cali
thumpians or Plugs, who created
great amusement with their outlandish
garbs. Notwithstanding the large num-
Der who went up from this place, it is
difficult to obtain much information.
They all unite in saying that they had
splendid time, but, for some reason,
when they come to particulars, their
memory is strangely lacking We
presume this is owing to the peculiar
properties of the water in this vicinity,
which comes long distance through
pipes coated with asphaltum, and is
subject to chemical changes which do
not agree with stomachs unaccustomed
to its use. It's effects on visitors has
been the subject of frequent comment.

a REMARKABLE DECISION.

Judge Deadly, Of Portland-on Wal
lamet," recently rendered decision in
tbs case of Ernestine Koch Is the Ore
scn Steamship Go. and the Oriaomme,
which Involves certain new il not i'm
portant issues in civil Jurisprudence. 1t
eppsars that q German girl by the
name OF Ernestine Koch was injured
and disfgured on the face by some
freight which was carelessly placed in
the steerage of one of the vessels of the
Oregon Steamship Co., on which she
was passenger. She brought suit to
recover damages. We have no COM
ments to make on the rulings of the
Court as to the liabilities of common
carriers, but certain remarks that affect
the piaintiffattract our attention. After
giving judgment for the sum of $500,
damages, for the scar on the face, the
learned Judge says:
But it does not appear that the scar will
affect her personal appearance. SO as to make
For this reason It is not lifeIV to nterfere
or prevent her from obtaining employment
in her calling and sphere of life. 1t will in
no way affect her ability to labor and earn
Is a plain girl, moving in an humble walk in
life, and not like many others, dependent
upon her beauty for her dOwry or as means
of support Still the scar will he perma-
nent Disagreement of her person, for which
she is entitled to some COMPENSATION. (Karr.
'. Parks, A Cal. 49, In this country, at
least, IL is still open to every women, how
independent position in the community by
marriage. In that matter, which is said to be
the chief end of her existence, personal ap
pearance, comeliness, is consideration of
comparative Importance in the case Of every
daughter of Eve
Some reflections are naturally pre-
sented by this view of the subject. If
a scar on plain" girls face damages
her $500, what would be the damage on
a beauty for the same Disagreement,
and is it not question whether scar
on q plain girl is not more serious
damage than on the face of beautiful
woman, especially if the object of the
feminine portion Of the community is
to "secure an Independent position in
the community by marriage? Where
is sister Duniway, that she does not en-
ter her protest against such travesty
on the grace and charms of womanhood
We trust she will demand of the learned
Judge an explanation of what he means
by a judicial affirmation making " beau
ty dowry ormeans of support" And
we leave it for her to determine whether
the Judge has not done the Teutonic
maiden grievous wrong by intimating
that she is not eligible for the attain
ment of the "chief end of her exist
ance," and thus i" secure an independ-
ent position in the community by mar
rage" We submit the case to sister
Duniway, satisfied that she will cook
the goose of Judge Deadly if he does

A PRrsrrr FOR Govr.xon -W;,,;o =,

A PRINTER FOR GovRRNon. William
Irwin, acting Lieutenant Governor Of
California, has been nominated for
the Chief Magistracy of that State
BY the Democracy. Mr.. Irwin was
editor and publisher of the Yreka Unio,,
and is man of unblemished record as
. legislator and a citizen. One Of his
opponents is toll-gate moncpolist who
sought to purchase seat in the United
States Senate, for which he was about
as fit as the internal regions are for an
ice-cream saloon; the other is an old,
broken-down hack, who is said by his
close association with the aborigines
to have practically illustrated his pet
theory Of "the universal brotherhood
of man." With such opponents as
these, the election of big-hearted Bill
Irwin is a foregone conclusion. There
is quite an Inconsistency in the " Dolly
Warden" ticket, the head of which pro-
fesses to have torn up 10000 grape
vines, rather than to allow them to be
made into wine, while the foot of the
same ticket resides in house in Sac
ramento which he won from Judge Mon
son at the seductive game of draw
poker. Phelps is proven rotten cor
ruptionist, while Bill Bidwell is shown
to be hypocritical Pecksniff and a
despatched reformer Hence it seems
no vague prophecy to foretell the cleo
ton Of Bill Irwin, the honest editor and
conscientious legislator.

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Cooking Rhubarb.


Rhubarb is best cut In length, boiled in wa.
ter and sugar, and served with boiled rice round
the dish; or it may be treated like "Gooseberry
fool" A little good cream gives it delicate
taste, which it never has in pudding or tart
The following are excellent receipts for making
rhubarb jam and marmalade Cut the rhu-
barb as if for tarts and to every quart give one
pound OF good moist sugar; put the sugar over
the rhubarb, and leave it twenty four hours to
draw out the juice. By this method the pieces
OF rhnbarb remain separate from each other
when the preserve is DONE 1t keeps good
year il kept in jars well dried and in dry
place.
For the marmaade procure six oranges, peel
them, and take away the white rind and pips,
then Ia slice the pulp into stewpan along with
the peel, cut very small j add thereto one quart
OF rhubarb, cut finely, and from one pound to
one pound and half of sugar. Boil the whole
down in the usual way, as for other preserves
Made in this manner, it is nearly equal to
Scotch marmalade, which is regarded on all
hands to be the finest anywhere made.
