An Ocean Horror.

The Coos Bay Ne,os, published al
Marshfeld, Oregon, in its issue of the
18th inst has the following report
from the captain of the Schooner Par
allel, which arrived at that port July
18th, from San Francisco: The schoon

japanese vessel, adrift. A boat was
lowered and the strange vessel board

boal ders. Not a living soul was
aboard, but a number of corpses of ORR
entails who had probably been dead at
least month. There was no food
aboard, and some Of the bodies had
been shackled together, doubtless hav-

water and fastened BY their comrades.

A Political Parson.

An Iowa chaplain, not altogether
satisfied with the Republican platform
of his State, has been endeavoring to
rival the opening prayer Of the Ohio
convention. 1t was at the Indianola
college commencement, and here is a
sample of it:
ooh, Lord, bless the President We be-
lieve in r. B. Hayes-his head, his heart,
his conscience, his courage, his princi-
pies and his policy. And, Oh, Lord, VIC
believe that you believe in him and his
policy, and endorse them"
That preacher ought to be furnished
a cap and bells and sent to accompany
brother Hines in his retirement

Everlasting the Energies.

1t IS not advisable for any of us to over.
task our energies, corporal or mental, but
in the eager pursuit of wealth or fame or
knowledge, how many transgress this sal
utarY rule. 1t must be matter of great
importance to all who do so to know how
they can regain the rigor so recklessly ex-
pended. The remedy is neither costly or
difficult to obtain. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is procurable in every city, town
and settlement in America, and it com
pensates for drain of bodily or mental
energy more efectually than any invigor
ant ever prescribed or advertised. Labor
ing men, athletes, students, journalists,
lawyers, clergymen, physicians, all hear
testimony to its wondrously renovating
powers. 1t increases the capabilities Tor
undergoing fatigue, and counteracts the
injurious effects upon the system Of expo
sure, sedentary habits, unhealthy or wea-
rying avocations, or an insalubrious eli
mate, and is prime alternative, diuretic

A Relic of Rarbarism.

Imprisonment for debts is still al

leaving family of eight small chill

out time being allowed him to arrange

WAR WITH MEXICO INEVITABLE.

The prospects for war with Mexi
co are more favorable than ever be
fore. A definite plan, it is said, has
been decided upon for the attainment
of the Northern States of Mexico by
conquest. The President refuses to
rescind the order giving instructions
to General Ord to follow marauders
across the line, although it is repre-
sented that such an action would
bring on conflict with the Mexican
forces. There is strong war party
in the Cabinet that is doing every
thing possible to precipitate war of
annexation. A prominent Texan, who
was in Washington City a short time
ago said that the plan was for Ord to
follow the Mexican troops across the
line and make an attack, which, of
course, would be resisted; then the
Texas boys, who were to be ready,
would go to the assistance of the
Americans. Of course when con-
flict would be precipitated war would
Immediately follow, and the United
States gain possession of a portion of
our sister Republic.
The President claims to know moth
ing of such a move and to be in favor
of peace, but it does not look reasona-
BILE that such is the case Plans that
have been arranged for months by the
Cabinet for gaining possession Of ter
ritory could not we'll have matured
without the knowledge of the Presi-
dent. When the circumstance, under
which Mr.. Hayes occupies the Presi-
dency are taken into consideration it
can easily be seen that it is the on
ly act be can do to detract the atten-
ton of the masses from the frauds
that were committed in 1876. Hayes
must do something, and as be has I'M
doubtedly choseR to add territory to
the Union, war with Mexico at an
early day is inevitable.

AN official canvass of the vote of
Oregon at the last election shows the
total number of ballots cast to have
been 1920, an increase of 4,O47 over
the Presidential election of 1876. This
indicates steady increase in the pop
ulation of the State. -

Sending Fresh Meat From Australia to Eng
land.

By the Carre-.ktlien method, meat is
taken to Europe IN good condition
from Australia and the Argentine Re-
public. Former attempts at such
transportation under different meth
DDS lave been unsuccessful, though
meat may be carried in refrigerat;ng
chambers from North America to Eu-
rope. By the new method the meat
is frozen to the very centre and car
ried closely packed on its voyage at a
very low temperature, obtained by the
use of ammonia. This plan, from the
intensity of cold it produces, the com
pactness of stowage, and consequent
large cargoes which it renders posi-
bic, and its greater cheapness, is like
ly to supplant all others, and a large
trade will probably result from its
use. Mutton is now taken from the
Argentine Republic to London and
sold readily at a profit of nine cents
on the pound.

OF short duration. He did not see how the papers
