RussIA,s FINANCIAL LOSSES.

No doubt can be entertained that the
financial losses of Russia during the
war must have beeen enormous. An
account of them given in the Enchaage
Gazette of st. Petersburg, which may
probably be considered as founded on
official statements, proves this to have
been so. The war lasted from the 18th
of April, 1877, to the 4th Of March,
1873, or 322 days; but considerable
part of the army was modified up
wards of five months before the war
began. In order to cover the expenses
three internal loans of 350,0O0,000 pa
per roubles, and one fereign loan OF
93,75O,oO0 silver roubles were con-
cluded in November, 1876, besides
which about 250, 100000 roubles saved
from the Budget of the previous year
were expended for war purposes. Alto
gether 500, 100000 roubles were spent
in preparing for and conducting the
war. Assuming that 50,0o0,000 rou-
bles are required for taking the troops
home, the total amount of the war ex-
penses will be 850,000,000 roubles
The interest and sinking-fund on this
sum amounts to 45,000,000 a year.
As, according to the Budget OF 1877,
the expenditure for the State debt
amounts to los, ,250,0o0 roubles, the
war has increased the Russian debt by
nearly one-half. This increase would
not be very palpabIe if Turkey were 10
pay 900, ,00Q, 900 roubles, as stipulated
by the prelim minaries of peace, for the
net war ex penses would then be re-
dueed to 55D,000,000 roublea, and the
charge for annual interest and sinking
fund to 30,000,000 But (adds the St.
Petersburg paper) whether this contri-
button will be paid is as yet doubtful

his FAMOUS BEER TEST ACT.


/ hay cum to the conclusion that
lager beer, as beverage, is not intoxi
eating.
l have been told SO By a German who
said be had drunk il all mite long, just
to try the experiment, and was obliged
to go home entirely sober in the morn
ing. have seen the same man drink
eighteen glasses, and if he was drunk
it was in German, an nobody could un-
derstand it.
It is proper enuff to state that this
man kept lager-beer saloon, could
have no object in stating what was not
strictly thus.
l believe him to the full extent Of nv
ability. / never drank but three glass
es Of lager in my life, and that made my
head ontwist as tho it was hung on the
end of string, but I was told that it
was owing to my bile being cut of
place and | guess that it was so, for
never billed over wus then l did when
| got hom that mite. Ny wife thot
was going to die, and l was afraid that
l shouldn't for it seemed as tho every
thing / had ever eaten in my life was
coming to the surface; and 1 believe
if my wife hadn't pulled off my boots
just as she did, they would hay cum
laundering up teo.
Oh, how sick 1 wuzl fourteen year
ago, and I can taste it now.
l never had SO much experience IN SO
short time
If any man shud tell me that lager
beer was not intoxicating, / shud be-
lieve him; but, if he shud tell me that
l wasn't drunk that mite but that my
stummick was out Of order, I shud ask
him to state over few words just how
man felt and acted when he was set
up.
IF I want drunk that mite, l had
some ov the most natural sinptums
that a man ever had and kept sober.
In the first place il was about eighty
rods from where drunk the lager beer
to mi house. and I was Jest over tive
hours on the road, and hole busted IN
through each one of my pantaloon
neez, and didn't hay any hat, and tried
to open the doer by the bell-pull and
hiccuped awfully and saw everything
in the room trying TO get round on the
back side Of nae, and, sitting down eH
chair, did not wait long enough fol
it to get exactly under me when l WIZ
going round. and / set down litlle toe
soon and missed the chair about twelve
inches, and couldn't get up soon enough
to take the next one that come along
and that ant awl mi wife sed l wuz a
drunk as beest. aud, az [ sed before
begun to spin up things faeely.
If lagar beer is not intoxicating i
used me most almighty mean, that
kno.
Still hardly think that lager beer i
intoxicating. for l hay been told so
and | am probably the only man lisin;
who ever drunk eny when his liver wa
not plumb.
I don't want to say anything agains
q harmless temperaDss beverage, but
ever I drink eny more, it will be Wit
mi hands tied behind and mi meutl
pried OPEN.
l don't think lager beer is intoxicai
ing, but if remember rite, 1 think
tasted to me like a glass of soap sud
that q pickle had been put tew seal

REV. HINES ron CONGRESS.

The Republicans of Oregon used very
poor Judgment when they nominated
Rev. II. X. Hines for Congress He is
too well known to get the vote of his
own party, and as the Democrats will
be solid against him, will be beaten by
a handsome majority His conduct has
always been such as to justly receive
the contempt of every laboring man.
and as to his ability, he hasn't any in
the pulpit, and we do not see how a
man of his caliber can have any in pol
itics. He will be the laughing stock of
Oregan, and will find that the people
know more of his private character
than he ever dreamt of before. We
predict that he will be elected by an
overwhelming majority to stay at home
and attend to his own and church af-
fairs.-Labor World.

ArPRePRIATToSs Fos THE rACrrre
COAST.

The Bill fer River and Harbor Ap-
preparations which passed the lower
House of Congress on MoRdss contains
several important items fer the Pacific
Coast To the credit of California are
for Improvements across the Bay, in
front of Oakland, $4,000; for the
harbor at Wilmington, S20, and
for the improvement of the Sacramento
and Feather rivers, 5000. The first
two appropriations are none to large
the last is inadequate. At least twice
the amount ought to be appropriated,
in order to improve the two rivers In
accordance with the plans devised to
protect the adjacent country from the
injuries and devastations of future
floods.
Oregon comes off much better in the
measure of aid than California, all
things considered. For the improve
ment of the Columbia river from As
toria to the confluence of the William
cite with that river, and thence up the
Willamette to the Falls between Ore
gon City and Canemah, total distance
of $50 miles, there is allowed $50, 900
from the Falls to the head of naviga-
ton of the Willamette, distance by
the river of l20 miles, $4,000. For
the construction of canal and locks al
tie Cascades of the Columbia, from the
lower to the upper river, a distance o.
less than five miles, SIS, 200; and fol
the upper Columbia and the Snake
river from its confluence with the Co
luhbia, just above Wallula (old Fort
Walla Walla) to Lewiston, total dis
tanee from the Cascades of 275 miles,
$40, ,000.-.S. r. Ecomsner.

Rev. jos. Emery being unable to ac

the Democratic State Convention, foI
reasons given in his letter below, the
State Central Committee met at Salem
on the 18th and nominated Hon. 7. J.
Sites, of Linn county, to complete the
ticket. The committee was peculiarly
happy in its choice. Mr.. Sites is pre-
eminently the man for the place. He
is practical teacher, having filled the
office of School Superintendent of Linn

GENERtL DIRECTIONS F0R THE PRRsER-
yATIOa OF HEALTH.


HABITATIoEs All dwellings
should BE free from danpness, be free
" ventilated, and have abundance oi
daylight.
1. "Orecrotoding in houses is very
injurious to health. Amy house OF
part Of house, so overcrowded as to be
dangerous or Injurious to the health OF
the inmates, whether or not members
Of the same family, shall be deemed a
nuisance, liable to be dealt with sum
marily in manner provided by the Act. y
-3S and SO Vic, chap. 55, sec. 81.
2. Cleanliness is essential to the
preservation of health. The ceilings
of houses should be frequently white
washed and the rooms freely swept and
floors washed.
3. Fresh AIR should be admitted in-
to all bedrooms in the morning, BY
opening windows and doors. Bed COW
erihgs should be thrown down and ex-
posed to the air for some time before
the bed IS made.
f. Chamber vessels should not be
allowed TO retain their contents and re-
main in any room longer than is abso-
lutely necessary.
H. CLoTHISG.-The body should
be well covered. In winter or cold
weather, flannel should be worn next
the skin. In summer, if flannel be
found too oppressive, some lighter fab
rie may be used, but this should inva-
riably be .coote,t. Linen should be fire.

III. FooD.-Food should be plain,

should oe used. Pure water should *

all such water is not necessarily pure
but may esntain sewerage, although it i,
bright and sparkling. All water should
be filtered; but liberation will not sepa

matters. A cheap filter may be easily
made thus: Plug the hole of flower
pot loosely with a piece of sponge
place layer of powdered animal char
coal about onO inch thick, then lik,
quantity Of clean sand, and on tha
some coarse gravel. These should b;
frequently changed. The charcoal maj
be burned over again. 1t is wis
preeautlon, when any doubt exists as t.
its purity, to boil water before use.
V. ExERCIsE.-A moderate amour
of exercise should be taken daily.
VI. MEDICINE should never be ia
ken except by the advice of physician
unless under very ordinary circum
stances. Persons who are perpetual,
physieing themselves are never in
healthy condition, either bodily or men

1t would be quite impossible, an,
beyond the scope of these "plain direC
tions," to give fuller directions for tn

The Hutchinson Interior publishes the
Circulation of the different papers in that
city as follows: Interior, SIG; News, 322;
Herald, 232. Altogether they circulate
about two-thirds as II any copies as THE
EMPoRIA NEWS.
Now one paper in Hutchinson would be
just as good an advertising medium as
the three combined aye, and be better
newspaper than any of the present can
afford to be. The business men and the
community generally would be relieved
OF about two-thirds OF the expense they
are now put to to sustain the three papers,
and the town and county would be better
of intellectually as well as financially.
The existence of three papers there, and
the unnecessary bedlam they cause. Is
due principally to the fOollshness Of bust
ness men in encouraging papers to come
where here is no need and no adequate
support for them.

Concert at Americas.


On Tuesday evening of this week the
people of Americas were pleasantly en-
tertained by q concert given by the "Lyon
String Quartetto," at the U. z church
under the supervision of Mr.. Sogart. The
programme, consisting of selections from
Handel. Mendelssohn, and other masters.
was noticeable for its choice character,
and the performance indicated degree of
proficiency and musical cultue CT which
the participants may well be proud. The
entertainment was pronounced the finest
of its kind ever heard in Americas. The
unfavorable evening affected the size of
the audience somewhat, but 1t is expected
that the band will in a few weeks give q
repetition of the performance, with some
changes OF programme. The band, which
has been in practice comparatively short
time, exhibits considerable skill in the
execution OF difficult pieces, and great
credit is due to MIR. Sogart and his pupils
for their work in this direction. Mr..
Sogart is enthusiastic in his efforts to eIe-
Yate the standard of musical culture.
A brass band will probably soon be or
ganized, and Americas bids fair to attain
quite reputation as q musical commu-
nifty. j.
