PuLvERIzED diamonds are in some parts of
India reputed to be the least painful, but the
most active and infallible of all poisons. Ru-
bies, however, reduced to powder are, it
seems, considered to be rather beneficial to
the health than otherwise. At least such Is
the opinion of the ex-gaikwar of Baroda.
who, according to one of the Indian papers,
is now engaged in repairing his constitution,
and, with this view, is in the habit of eating
rubies in the form of a fine powder sprinkled
over cakes. His highness, it is stated, enter
tains very high opinion of the medicinal
qualities of rubies taken in this form, and ex.
pends a considerable portion of his income in
buying these gems for conversion into physic.
He also takes other precious stones, not as
pills but as powders, to assist in the restora-
ton of his health, and has engaged a large
number of native cooks, who have orders TO
leave no stone unpowdered which, when
mixed with confectionery, may be eaten with
advantage.

DAVID DUDLEY FIELD, whom Mr.. Tilden
sent to Washington to manage his case, has
introduced his Louisiana liars to criminate
the returning board in order to divert atten-
ton from the Oregon fraud and cover up the
fact that Tilden secured a Governor and one
or two other Democratic scoundrels in order
to get the vote he needed 1t will be noticed
that during the whole of this canvass, and in
all the reams of testimony that have been
taken, not single allegation has been made
rejecting upon the character of Gov. Hayes.
Not single word has been uttered to show
that he was engaged in cipher kilograms, that
he was buying Electors, or that he was in
corruption of any sort. Whether he is
awarded the Executive chair or not, he will
be entitled to the admiration and respect of
his countrymen as pure, upright, honest,
patriotic man.

Whatever the positive gain to the state
may be from raising beef for foreign export.
it is very plain that Portland has unriyalled
opportunities for advantage merely as a port
OF transhipment. Chicago made large ex-
ports Of live and dressed beef to Liverpool via
Montreal the last season and is evidently
counting much upon the Grand Trunk line
Tor future facilities. A portion of Ontario
and Quebec may be relied on as a source of
supply-at least during the winter. Vermont
and New Hampshire can be conveniently
accommodated here, the former state sending
more cattle and sheep to the Boston market
at present than all the other New England
states.
Whenever the enterprise and capital of
Portland can be directed in this channel it
can create aud control enough of this new
business to strengthen materially her great
railroad lines, to hold line of ocean steamers
the year round, and to add hundreds of fami-
lies to the population by giving them employ
ment and support,

THE English admiralty proposes to con-
struct another big turret vessel, which is to
exceed in size and strength the Infexible as
much as this does the Thunderer or Devasta-
ton. The armor plating of the last named
is some fourteen inches at its thickest, while
the Infexible is being protected at Ports
mouth with twenty-five inch plates. But
twenty-five inches of iron, as the Spezia ex-
periments have taught, are easily pierced
with the Anglo-Italian guns. Thirty-six
inches, therefore, at least, must be the thick
ness of the iron walls of the new ironclad, if
it is required to stand the fire of such craft
as the Dandolo and Dnillo, both Of which the
Italians propose to arm with 100-ton guns.

A Strange Report.

ana surrey ne Us uH ROIOTuOte man,
In your issue of the Sth appears very strange
report of the doings of certain citizens, by
which the people of Portland have been "done''
out of four millions of dollars, and the kindly
and charitable gentlemen who sign that report,
which does infinite credit to their hearts use
the following language: "The last thing the
officers Of the road can be accused of Is indifer-
ence to ats interest, and in respect to the matters
above alluded to, they undoubtedly acted in the
premises at the time according to their best direc-
tons, and are not to be judged OF in the Eqht Of
subsequent events. They coaad not have any,
thing kept IN the background, for to their honor
be it said, that 1ohateuer has been done has
been done openly and abore board. This
seems strange language when we read in
the same report-"In their animation
one thing has struck the commissioners
unfavorably. The annual statements Of
the met earnings Of the company (P s.
R,) do not correspond with the ledger
accounts or uit the actual net edrninos, as toal
appear By the toloDing table," This table shows
variation from the ledger of $62,52505, and

railroad, DiR hardly be pleased to learn that the
sinews of auar,' partly their o,on, aoere used to
accomplish their defeat" And again, mark
ing particularly the italicized clause:

these payments of interest could only be kept
up so long as the supply from the city treasury
lasted; when that ceased to flow the payments
stopped.

the subject, to state that but a comparatively

WHEN the Cronin villainy was first ex-
posed it was not believed that the Democrats
would rely upon it to secure the election OF
Tilden, but the fact that the party organs and
managers are again defending it shows that
Tilden intends, il possible, to get the benefit
of the large sums of money which have been
sent to Oregon to buy vote There is moth
ing in his character as man or politician to
create any doubt that he is capable of accept
ing an election obtained in this manner.
The Portland daily press., 1877-02-12

If anything could bring additional dis
credit upon the management of Tilden's case
it would be the disgraceful trick of his princi-
pal attorney, Field, detected in having a
garbled version of testimony, taken before
House committee, surreptitiously printed, ap-
parently with the view of thrusting it before
the Electoral Tribunal. The evidence of such
witnesses as Maddox, Pickett, and Littefeld
is appropriately supplemented by subterfuges
learned by years of service in the New York
courts in defending Tweed and other notori-
Gus criminals.
