Knott a wit.

j. Proctor Knott is o member OF Con-
gress from Kentucky. He has been for
some time in the enjoyment of large
income of flattery from various sources
on account Of his exceedingly humorous
speeches in Congress. 1t is beginning
to leak out that Knott is not much of a
wit, after all; but an exceedingly bold
and adroit borrower OF other mems
brains. Colonel Donan, of the Raleigh
Sentinel, tells this Of the witty Knott:
j. Proctor Knott's whole claim to Ma
tional notoriety rests upon two speeches
made In Congress. One was on the
finance, the other on Duluth. With his
Duluth fanfaronade we have nothing to
do. But his widely-published and
laughed-at financial spread-eagie was
stolen, literatim, ct verbatim; ct pune
tuatin, ct every other atm, from a long
and laboriously prepared article in the
Lexington (Mo.) Caucasian of few
months before. 1t was written by the
present editor of the Sentinel, and con-
tanned many curious calculations in re-
gard to the National debt--how many

1t would tower in silver dollars piled fiat
upon each other-how many two-herse
wagons it would load in gold and silver
and "a hundred other fantastic compu-
tations, based on weights and measure
ments with which we had bothered
every jeweler Of our acquaintance for
days. The article appeared in the Cau-
casian OF March 10, 1870. and was sent
marked to many prominent politicians
North and South, j. Proctor Knott, of
Kentucky, among the number. During
the session of Congress in the winter OF
1901 he made himself famous as a
quaint and comical tinancier, by rising
in his place and deelaiming that two-co-
umn editorial without changing figure
or comma; every idea, word and sylla-

corded in the Congressional Globe OF

Oregon.

It is claimed that mine Of silver
has been discovered some 65 miles
above the Dalles that beats anything
yet found in the world. 1t is said to
yield 95 per cent. pure silver. If
the stories told of It are true it will
be immensely beneficial both to Ore
gon and this Territory.
A company has been formed at
Salem to carry on the manufacture
OF the Peltont Horse Power and
Grain Separator, an Oregon inven-
ton Of much merit.
Aletter from Forest Grove says:
There IS considerable wheat selling
here at IS cents bushel. Mr.. Ship
ley'has sold 5000 bushels to a Port

cents per bushel, which is more than
the market price. The lot was

" Messrs. J. B. ROSE & Co.:
My wife has,for a long time. been terrible
sufferer from Rheumatism. She has tried many
physicians and many remedies. The only
thing which has given her relief Is Centaur
her. Tam doing what can 20 extend It's sale.
This is a sample of many thousand testimo-
malls received, OF wonderful cures effected by
the Centaur Liniment. The ingredients of
this article are published around each bottle.
It contains Witch Hazel, Mentha, Arnica, Rock
on, Carbolic. and ingredients little known. It
is an indisputable fact that the Centaur Lini-
ment IS perfor ming more cures Of swellings,
stifl Joints, Eruptions, Rheumatism, Neural
gia, Sciatica, Caked Breasts, Lock jaw, &c, than
all other Liniments, Embroeatious Extracts,
salves. ointments, and Plasters now in use.
For Toothache, Eanche, Weak Back, Itch,
and cufaneous Erupfions, II Is admirable. 1t
cures burns and scalds without scar. Ex-
tracts poison from bites and stings, and heals
frost-bites and chillblains in short time. No
family can afford to be without the Centaur
Liniment, white wrapper.
The centauF LinIment, yellow Wrap
per, is adapted to the tough skin, muscles and
iesh ofthe animal creation. Its effects upon
severe cases of Spawn, sweeny, Wind Gall, Big
Head and Poll EvI,are little less than marvel
ous.
Messrs. J. Mcclure 4 Co, Druggists, corner
Elm and Front streets, Cincinnati, o., say:
"In our neighborhood number OF team
sters are using the Centaur Liniment. They
pronounce il superior to anything they have
ever used. We sell as high a. iour or five doz
en- bottles per month TO these teamsters."
We have thousands Of similar testimonials.
For Wounds, Calls, Scratches, Ring Sc,
and for Screw Worm in sheep it has no rival.
Farmers, livery men, and stock-raisers, have
in this Liniment remedy which is worth a
hundred times Its cost.

Trading Horses.

The Springfield journal tells the
following story: When Abraham
Lincoln was lawyer in Illinois he
aud the judge once got to bantering
one another about trading horses,
and it was agreed that the next
morning at 0 o'clock they should
make a trade, the horses to be un-
Sc n u to that hour and no backing
out lder a forfeiture oe S25. At
the hour appointed the judge came
up, leading the sorriest-looking
specimen Of horse ever seen in
those parts. In few minutes Mr..
Lincoln was seen approaching with
a wooden saw horse upon his shoul-
ders. Great were the shouts and
laughter Of the crowd, and both
were greatly increased when Mr..
Lincoln on surveying the judges an
imal, set dowEi his saw-horse and ex-
claimed. Well, Judge, this is the
FIRST time ] ever got the worst Of it
in a horse trade.

Facts for the People.

/ las the virtues of medicines can only be ascer
tanned by careful observation it is to be regretted
that many of the drugs still prescribed by some
Physicians should retain place in materia
medica. AS an instance of this that vile drug Bal
sam Copaiba furnishes an example. About the year
1870 the Spaniards in the Island of San Domingo
having become afflicted with certain complaints,
thought according TO the prevailing notion at that
time, that the remedy might be found where the
disease originated. Under this impression Balsam
Copaiba came INTO use, but never has a nauseating
drug done more injury, for it not only changes the
nature of the disease to dreadful state than
the original, but it ruins the tone of the stomach
and brings Dyspepsia in its worst forms. To
void this drug and its effects the SAMARITAN s
GIFT, a pure vegetable remedy is within the reach
of all Only ten pills to be TAKEN and will cure every

perfect comfort by the most sensitive patient, the
