THE REALITIES OF WAR.-A correspondent
with the Turkish army in Armenia: CAS- |
struggled through the binding snow mists
of the Vavouk Mountains | saw gaunt hol-
low-eyed men, clothed in the tattered re-
mains of what had once been uniforms.
Their feet were bound up in punches of
withered mountain sedge, tied on with
strips of rags and bits of ropes. Flooding
mid-leg deep in drifting snow, the accumu-
lation of frozen matterabout their feet was
almost enough to prevent walking I have
seen these men lying gasping at the foot of
the telegraph posts, foebly holding out their
hands, and begging morsel of bread in the
name of Allah. Even a strong man could
not afford to linger in such Siberian wastes
Probably had | rode back over the same
road l should have scared the wolves from
the bodies of the poor fellows whom neces-
sity forced me to pass by on those dreadful
mountains"

New USE OF SOUR MILK.-A new indus
try has been started in Mansfield Mass 1t
is no less than the manufacture of iewelry
out of sour milk. This seems a strange
anomaly, but it is fact. The milk comes
in the shape of curd from butter and
cheese-making counties in New York, and
looks, upon its arrival, a good deal like
popped corn; but before it leaves the shor
it undergoes wonderful change, and re,
ceives the name of African coral. The Sc,
cret in making it up is carefully guarded
but it is certain that it has to be heated
very hot, during which coloring matter is
introduced followed by very heavy
pressure Some of it is colored black and
called jet, while some appears as ceIluloid
1t makes very handsome jewelry, and is
made into all kinds and styles known in
the .-LScientifc News.

LITTLE Chandler is sad-very sad.
Prescott was elected by larger majority
than he would have received if Chandler

ent Legislature does not elect United
States Senator, and if it did Chandler
would not be the man. These things
have depressing tendency.

TIE OLD BULGARIANs.-The Bulgarians,
who are now relieved from Ottoman rule,
are branch of the Sarnaced race, who live
at the most northern boundary of the
Russian Empire on the Arctic Sea. The
Bulgari swooped southwark in the fifth cen
tury, conquered Adrianople and a large ter
ritory on the Balkan peninsula, and cap
tured Christian Bishop and other people,
and were converted from Paganism through
his instrumentality. They established an
who used to live at Tirnova, but after a few
centuries the Turks put their feet upon
them, and have kept them down until the
Russians relieved them. There are two

far enough south to include the latter The
Bulgarians are strong Greek churchmen.

THE CURIosITIEs OF FREIGHTING. The
Milwaukee Wisconsin of the 7th inst says:
"a curious fact has been developed in con
nection with the present railroad war. TIC
ship flour to New York from Milwaukee by
lake and rail costs at present 40c per barrel,
and the allrail rate 45c per barrel. At the
same time flour is shipped through from st.
Louis to New York for 20c per barrel. As
the tariff on flour from Milwaukee to St.
Louis ranges from 16c to 1Sc per barrel, Our
millers are enabled to forward their product
through to the scaboard via st. Louis at
from &c to 4c less per barrel than by either
of the direct routes. One of our heaviest
millers is now making arrangements to for
ward 500 brls of flour Eastward in this way,
with the view of effectinga saving in freight
This -four, if shipped, will be carried from
Chicago to st. Louis and returned from the
latter point to Chicago without breaking
bulk, after which it will be carried to its
Eastern destination, the extra distance thus
trayersed amounting to $50 miles"

The Oregon and Washington
Land Register,

| The object of which is to bring Land Owners
| and Real Estate Agents into closer communi-
cation with the thousands of Immigrants who
are arriving in this city with view TO the III.
innate purchase of lands. 1t will be printed
in regular newspaper FORM eight page, 12xle
| inches, and will be devoted solely to the pur-
pose for which it is established. The first
edition of 5000 copies will be issued about the
10th of February 1873, and as often thereafter
as the influx of immigration demands.
Descriptions of farms and other property for
sale will be condensed to occupy ten lines go
Words or less, and will be charged for ut the
rate of one dollar each.
II is more than probable that from twenty
five to fifty thousand people will be added to
our population during the spring and summer
Of 1873 Nearly all immigrants who come to
Oregon and Washington Territory land hrst
at Portland, and will receive Il copy of this
paper, as it will be distributed gratutously.
1t will therefore be the best possible means of
bringing lands, and other property, for sale to
their notice.
Descriptions of property for sale may be
written out in full giving character, location,
price, terms of sale, and all advantages of

ing, patching or botching our statute
law, in the silly hope to abolish or
supercede the grand and unalterable
laws of nature which must inevitably
control our social and commercial re-
lations.
9Th. Finances: The State indebt-
edness ought to be carefully limited; !;
and the issue of all local bonds should
be prohibited beyond a small per
cent. upon the assessed value of the
taxable property Of the locality which
makes the issue.
7th. Education: Religious instruc-
tions should be carefully excluded
from our common schools. The
school fund should be sacredly guarded
and placed beyond the tampering in
huence of a whimsical Legislature.
Change of the boundary lines of a
school district should be especially
prohibited so long as the district has
an outstanding bonded Indebtedness.
Sth. Treason should be clearly
defined.
9th. State Institutions: Our State
Institutions Of every kind, except
normal schools, should be located at
the capital, under the eye of the
Legislature, and not so scattered as
to become mere local institutions, in
viting the formation Of gigantic
ring, which, gathering strength from
these different localities, may plunder
the State Treasury under the plea of
promoting the general welfare.
10th. Capital: The location of the
State Capital might be satisfactorily
made, either by q popular vote, or
by two-third vote of the first State
Legislature; but in either case, such
action should become an adaptive
clause of the Constitution.
These are my private views, based
upon a close study and some expert
ence with the particular subjects
named. OF course, | do not hope to
have them all ingrafted upon the
forthcoming Constitution; yet | shall
be glad of the opportunity to so pre-
sent them at length, through the pub
lie press, as to invite their careful
consideration by the Convention.
Very respct'ly your obed't serv't.

The Seattle L,teHigencer last week
published very sound article on the
manner of securing immigrants for
this Territory, laying particular stress
upon the wants of the Sound country
and the Walla Walla section, but
making no mention of the Columbia
river portion of the Territory, or its
wants. Has the bottom been torn off
froN the Htel1igeacer's map, or is the
Columbia river country to be left out
in all future calculations for the ben
eft of the Territory? The Columbia
river counties cast votes that may be
needed by the eastern or western
portion of the Territory some day.

An exchange justly says: The dis
aster reported at San Francisco bar on
the 25th, is very serious and unfor-
tunatc affair While every disaster of
this kind is greatly to be regretted, the
present one, following SO close upon
recent disasters elsewhere, will serve as
noticeto the rivals of Oregon scommerce,
both north and south of us, that the
mouth of the Columbia river is not the
only point on the coast where "A marine
accident may occur Experience shows
that the Columbia river bar is in no
way more liable to these disasters than
the entrance of other harbors. The
Alta, which had so much to say about
the Columbia river, may now write up
this greater misfortune at the entrance
to San Francisco bay.

THE NEW CONSTIIU UTION.
VANCOUVER, Jan. 30, 1873

to your favor OF the 20d INST, L would
state that l have been too busy to
consider fully the subject of our new
Constitution. The question of funda-
mental law is one which ought now
to be carefully considered and calmly
discussed by every intelligent man
and woman in Washington Territory.
Too many Constitutions are framed
in this country with reference only
to the present, and not to the future.
A garment which fits our childhood
will be useless when we grow to our
full stature. | do not hesitate to
give you my individual views as to
what should constitute some of the
leading features of a Constitution
suited to the present needs and future
requirements of our prospective young
State:
1st. AS to suffrage: Common pau
pers and those adjudged vagrants by
due process of law should be dsfran-
chised; for, however innocent or un-
offending they may be, yet as po-
ltical element they are as dangerous
to good government as criminals,
idiots, and insane persons. On ques-
tons of the levy of special tax, a
property qualification ought to be
imposed upon the voter. No less
than six months residence within
the State, and thirty days within the
precinct, should be required. The
question of woman suffrage should
be submitted in separate clause to
the popular vote.
I'd. Taxes: All property except
that belonging to the public corpor-
ations should be taxed. There should
be no discrimination between the
property of private corporations and
that of individuals. This includes,
of course, the taxation of all Church
property of whatever denomination
or for whatever purpose used, as well
as the property of all private char
liable or educational institutions. AS
sessment and apportionment of tax
on Railroad property should be fairly
but permanently fixed. Taxes should
be collected by certain specified Off
GERS, and ought to be made payable
semi-annually. No discri mination
should be made against the property
of non-residents.
Sd. Judiciary: Our Judiciary ought
to be appointed to hold during good
behavior; or if elected, only every
six years. The Grand Jury system
should be dispensed with.
4th. Executive: Executive Off
GERS, both State and local, ought to
be as few as possible, and should be
elected for no less than four years,
subject, of course, to removal for
cause.
9Th. Legislative: The Legislature
should be carefully restricted in the
exercise of its law making power; and
also in respect to the number of its
members proportionate to the popu-
lation; as we'll as to the length of the
sessions. Biennial sessions should
be provided for; and class legisla-
ton should be prohibited, not by a
general and indefinite clause, such as
may be found in most of our State
Constitutions, but by specific provisions,
such as have recently been introduced
into the new Constitutions of some of
the older States. Nothing tends so
much to destroy public confidence,
and unsettlc the material interests of
the American people to-day, as the
foolish exercise of an almost unlim-
tied power, whereby our law makers
are continually changing or amend

A Wonderful Invention.

From the n. Y. Daily Graphic.l
An invention all frugal wives will ap-
preciate-in fact, an article that even rivals
the sewing machine in usefulness-is now
on exhibition at the Broadway store of the
Wilson Sewing Machine Company, in this
city; yet it is so wonderfully simple that it
can scarcely be classed as an invention, and
a wonder to everybody that it was not dis
covered years ago. The invention consist
of very simple little attachment of the
Wilson shuttle sewing machine for darning
all kinds Of rips, tears, worn out places, etc.,
in clothing. table and bed linen, stockings,
underwear, etc in the same manner that ID
done by hand, and leaves the repaired
part scarcely diseerable. The operator OF
sewing machine can darn a large-sized hole
| in a bed sheet or table cloth almost initan.
taneously. It is to be regretted, however
that this wonderful invention is patented
and owned by the Wilson Sewing Machine
Company, of Chicago, ILL.,, who will aol
permit its use except with one of its make
Observing machiaes, which, the Company
manager states, is furnished with each o.

nest-egg for the Wilson Sewing Machine
Company, and, it is said, they are running
their works day and night and making ant
selling 800 machines day.

He finds thorough cultivation necessary
while the pear trees are young He finds
wood ashes to produce an excellent effect.
This will not apply to all soils, for on
some we have seen the growth doubled,
while on others no beneficial result follow

injured by white washing, from the caus'
tic qualities of the lime. To prevent such
injury, make the wash so thin that it will
scarcely color the bark.
