NEW YORK. Aug. 3l.-Speaking Of
Mrs Sprsgue's leaving home. the TjHa<s'
special says: It is stated that every
movement of Mrs Sprague since the
scandal became public, with the nota-
bic exception Of this unexpected de-
parture, has been made under the di-
rcction and at the dictation Of Conk-
ling. II will be recalled that. at the
outset. Conkling tried to keep the af-
fair from the public, aud, finding that
an impossibiiity. made q desperate at

Coukling and Anthony sent for Prof
Linck, arrangcdthe role be was to play,
and then visited Danielson, editor Of

OF Conkling This editor himself told

it was suggested that Conkling should
himself furnish true dispatch, and

ance that there had been 10 ARRAY,

Mrs Spraguc was sent, to be furnished

This was the frs. step dictated by Conk-

home. This policy was pursued by
Conkling. it is claimed, with the pur-
pose and hope to hush up the scandal,

DAI.LuiS NEWS,

The MoantaiHeer furnishes us these
items:
On Monday tho steamer II X Thomp-
son carried in her round trip from the
Dalles to the Cascades and from the
Cascades to the Dalles. one thousand
tons Of freight. This is the greatest
number of tons moved by any one river
steamer on the Pacific coast, in one day /.
on regular route, that we ever heard
Of.
There are now two boats running DO
tween this city and the Cascades. tho
Thompson and the Queen. One leaves
here each morning aud remains at the
Cascades over night discharging and
receiving her load to return next day
to the DalIcs. On the route from &c
lilo to Wallula is the Harvest Queen
and ID 8 Baker; on the Snake river
they have the Gates and Spokan.
Freight is coming both ways in larger
quantities than ever before, and the
capability of the o S N Co formov-
ing freight is being severely tested. So
far, however, the Company has been
equal to the emergency.
We haye heard some talk con the
outside that the o s N Co. will most
likely take up tho track on Main street
aud build an incline along the river
front. We only give it as a rumor
The fact is the Company will require
an incline with two tracks in order to
get away with tho freight as fast as it
comes down from the upper river. DIR
Baker says he can deliver 1000 tons ut
Walluln over his narrow gauge road
every "a hours, and Mr. Mcfarland can
carry over the Dalles and Cello road,
each way. from 1000 to 1900 tons. and
probably more. in the same time; while
about 400 transforming from each way
will block the business hero at the
Dalles. The Company will soon be
compelled to make some change here,
bu. what it will he we can only guess
at.

Those Useful COnduits.

The kidneys and bladder, sometimes become
torpid and weak from unascertainable causes
is of necessity very imperfectly performed, and
certain debris, which is the result of natural
bodily waste and decay, does not escape as it
should, but remains to corrupt the blood and
develop poisonous humors and dangerous as
well as painful diseases. It is one of the be-
nefcent effects of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
to gently stimulate the urinary organs, and pre-
ty, always provocave Of their is' infiammatory
degeneration and decay. How much better,
then is it to adopt this mild diuretic as means
of melting them to action, than to incur the
danger of this destruction. To expel from the
system waste matter through the bowels and
kidneys, and to regulate and arouse the stomach
and liver, are among the chief uses of this val
liable remedy. i, Ds:tl 4..s, @s*'+tt

Thirty Thousand Miles a Second.

The idea of motion must help us con-
ceive the idea of space. In no other
way can we get an impression of the
awful spans of the sky, and the mon
strous distances between the stars. A
scientific lecture suggests the follow.
ing:
To give an idea of relative distances,
suppose a voyager through the celestial
spaces could travel from the sun to the
utmost planet Of our system in twenty
four hours. So enormous would be his
velocity that it would carry him across
the Atlantic ocean, from New York to
Liverpool, in less than tenth of a
second of a clock. s t-
Starting from the sun with this We
locity, he would cross the orbits of the
inner planets in rapid succession, and
the outer ones more slowly, until, at the
end of a single day, he would reach the
confines Of our system, crossing the
orbit of Neptune.
But, though he passed eight planets
the first day, ne would pass none the
next; for he would have to journey
eighteen or twenty years, without dimi-
mutton of speed, before he could reach
the nearest star, and would then have
to journey as far again before he could
reach another. SIS.

an just shouldered my own coin when
the driver throwed it off. Nick Mon

To meet the revolted Latin tribes, those
wicked people who talked in six cases
and more exceptions than conjunctions,
and who were named after the Latin
grammar, when the Consul, Manlius
Torquatus, remarked to his colleague:
Il should hate to marry girl whose
father is dead, because my lungs aren't
very good, anyhow, and I would have
to asthma for her"
"And you think you'd need the old

"No," rejoined the friend, but you

THE CHINESE FAMINE.
Terrible Extent of the Visitation-SOme Start
ling Figures.

Terrible Extent of the visitation-Sone Start
ling Figures.
Mr.. Forrest, the English Consul at
Tientsin, reports his belief that during
the late famine in China the deaths
from starvation and want reached the
enormous total of about $780, 00-that
is to say, that population Of more than
twice that of Portugal was swept away
within few months. This estimate
would appear scarcely credible were it
not supported by the report Of Mr..
Hitler, of the consular Service, who
has lately visited the desolated prov
inces. His account of the condition Of
things is deplorable in the extreme.
Towns which few years ago were busy
centers of trade, and villages which were
populous and well-to-do, are now silent
and deserted; while houses which used
to TEEN with life are now only tenanted
by the dead and the few survivors who
are left to tell the miseries they have
undergone. Shocking as the sight
must be of the mingling of the dead
with the living, the explanation is even
more CHASTITY. When the famine was at
its height the starving people, goaded
by the pangs Of hunger, and unable to
obtain food, dug up the bodies of the
buried dead. Survivors preferred,
therefore, to share their homes with the
coffins of their deceased friends rather
than run the risk OF committing them
to the uncertain keeping of the ground.
At intervals the sides of the roads are
strewn with the whitened bones of wan
derers who had lain down to die where
their strength failed them and the hor-
ror Of the scene is aggravated by the
presence of troops of wolves. Soon at
ter the outbreak of the famine large
quantities of stores were collected by
the Chinese Government at Tientsin
and elsewhere for transmission to the
famine-stricken districts, but, owing to
bad roads and inefficient means of
transport, they arrived on the spot in
such small quantities and at such I'M
certain intervals that they failed to do
more than relieve the sufferings of a
few. "Camels, oxen, mules and
donkeys," Mr.. Forrest says, "were hur-
ried along in the widest confusion, and
SO many were killed by the desperate
people in the hills for the sake of their
flesh that the transit could only be car
ried on by the banded vigilance of the
interested growers Of grain, assisted by
the train-bands or militia. The way
was marked by the carcasses or skele-
tons of men and beasts; and the wolves,
dogs and foxes soon put an end to the
sufferings of any wretch who lay down
to recover from or die of his sickness in
those terrible defiles."

Queen Elizabeth.

This Queen, in spite of the represen-
tations of SO many historians, was a
wanton in morals, heartless, cruel, and
ugly in person. In her 81 year
she was thus described: Her face
oblong, fair, but wrinkled; her eyes
small but black and pleasant; her nose
little hooked: her lips narrow, and
her teeth black; she wore false red hair !;
her bosom uncovered" Yet was this
woman vain to the last degree and sus-
ceptible to fattery, as the following in
stance will show: When the States Of
Holland sent splendid embassy to her,
during the first audience, one of the
Ambassadors suite said to an English
gentleman that he could not under
stand why people spoke with such in
difference of the Queens beauty; that
they did her great injustice; that he
thoughther very charming, and should
be happy in having so fine woman for
his wife. The Queen, who had her
eyes fixed upon the whole suite, when
the audience was over, sent for the
English gentleman and commanded
him, under pain of displeasure, to tell
her what the Dutchman had said to him.
The gentleman endeavored to excuse
himself on the plea that the converse
tion was very trifing; the Queen, how
ever, was determined to know what the
discourse was, upon which he told her
what had been said. The conclusion Of
the matter was that the Ambassadors
were presented each with a chain of
gold of 800 crowns each; but the gal
liant Dutchman, who had found the
Queen so very handsome, had a chain
Of 1000 crowns value, which, it is said
Mynheer wore to the day of his death.

How One Phrase Originated.

The phrase acknowledge the corn
is variously accounted for, but the follow
ing is true history of its origin:
In 1928, Andrew Stewart, M. c., said
in speech, that Ohio, Kentucky and
Indiana sent their hay-stacks, corn
fields and fodder to New York and
Philadelphia for sale. Wicklife, of
Kentucky, called him to order, declaring
those States did not send hay-stacks OF
corn-felds to New York for sale.
"Well what do you send?" asked
Stewart. -n
"Why, horses, mules, cattle and hogs
"Well, what makes your horses,
mules, cattle and hogs? You feed a
hundred dollars, worth off hay to a horse
you just animate and get upon the top
Of your hay-stack and ride of to market.
How it is with your cattle? You make
one of them carry fifty dollars, worth of
hay and grass to the Eastern market
how much corn does it take at thirty
three cents bushel to fatten it?''
"a" Why, thirty bushels ..
"Then you put that thirty bushels
into the shape Of hog and make it walk
off to the Eastern market" .G..
Then Wickliffe jumped up and said +:
"Mr. Speaker, acknowledge the corn. "
