SAN FRANcrsco, Nov. 2S.-The whaling
bark Heteu Mar arrived from the Arctic
Ocean last night. She brings the officers
and crew of the bark Mercury. abandoned
in the ice October oath in latitude II 10
north, longitude 122 west, just north of
Herald shoals. They left the bark Vigi-
liant in the same pack of ice frozen in, but
the crew were all we'll. Captain Hickmott
off the Mercury, like other whalemen, fear
that the jeanette may be frozen up in the
pack Office, in which case they have little
hopes of the vessel ever getting out, though
the crew may reach a place of safety. The
Mercury had on board, when abandoned,
1000 barrels of oil, 5000 pounds OF bone
and 1000 pounds of ivory. The vessel
was owned by Bartlett & Son of New
Bedford, and insured for about $4,000,
her policies having been made out for
four years and had one year to run.

The Reward offered for the Capture Of
Garrison.

When William Lloyd Garrison died, it
was stated thata price had been put upon
his head by the State Of Georgia. Having
been written TO for the facts, Governer
Colquitt stated that, latter dilieent re-
search into the records Of the past history
of Georgia, and inquiry among those who
should have some knowledge of the fact

such thing. / firmly believe the whole

The suirering sultan.

The Constantinople correspondent of
the Manchester Guardian. writing on
the Oath of September, gives gloomy
account of the state of affairs on the Bos-
phorus. he says:
The supposed attempt to assassinafe
the sultan has made deep impression,
and Abdul Hamid is now brooding over
the stormy scenes and violent events
which had rendered possible his advance
ment to the throne. Ugly rumors are
floating about as to mental arrangement
and wild measures being instituted to
give fancied increase of security to the
palace of Yildiz, and though it would be
hardly safe upon such grounds to assert
that the present Sultan was going the
way OF his predecessor, it is certain that
the unfortunate monarch at the present
moment is suffering from great nervous
depression, and can hardly be brought
| to pay the necessary attention to public
affairs. While gloom and distrust reign
at the palace, anger and despair have en-
tered every Turkish household at Con-
stantinople. Discomfort is hardly the
term for the feeling with which the
present state of affairs Is viewed by the
/ people IN general; for the language Of
individuals when they find themselves
! free to express their thoughts is disloyal
/ IN the extreme. How can e be otherw;se
when. afte, months az patient vaitino
thew fnd matters roinr from had to
worse; and the promised amelioration as
| far of as ever? The last Bairam has
been anything but season Of Joy; for
the struggle to keep the wolf from the
door has left nothing for feasting. For

LEGITIMATE JOURNALISM.

When public journals, especially
those that aspire to foremost and rep.
resentative positions, descend to do

Senator j. H. Mitchell has long
been justly regarded as u leader in

qualities Of character, besides his
shining ability, gave him prestige
which he still bolds, although de-
feated in the last senatorial contest
in our neighboring state. Some
years ago MIR. Thos. Scott, the pres
ent editor Of the "Oregonian," occu-
pied a position of trust in the Port
land Custom House. We know but
little of the circumstances of his re-
moval from Office, except that he at.
tributed his poltica downfall to the
influence of Senator Mitchell. He
soon afterward obtained editorial
control Of the "Orcgonian,o the
leading journal Of the state, since
which time he has abored with dill.

with her valuable forests, her stores

ures yet unearthed-with all these of
which we may justly boast, the roads

across our public domain are 50 i'll

We have enterprise enough to de-
velop every industry; Port Town
Selu, our CIlCl COlIllcl Cldl CSht"'' ,
exhibits many evidences Of thrift
and healthy growth; most OF our
farms indicate that our agricultural
interests are in the hands of a hardy
and enterprlslng class OF people; ana
yet our public highways afford
strangers an excuse for turning away
IN disgust and telling their friends
as was recently saij-that "the peo-
pie of Jefferson county are too par
simonious and short sighted to make
good roads" A case i'll point may
be alluded to. Not very long ago a
couple Of gentlemen of means visit
ed Port Townsend with the intention
of staying week or two in the
county and looking around for an
opening TO invest iii some prodtabIe
enterprise. A day or two after com
ing here, they hired a wagon to make
tour Of Chlmacum valley; but
their experience with the roads was
of such character that supreme
disgust took the place of any desire
to see sights and take notes of re-
sources. Returning to town they
embarked on the very next steamer
leaving for up Sound ports, saying
that they "didn't want to invest
money where people hadn't enter
prise enough to construct better
roads than those of Jefferson county,"
The stage road leading to Port
Discovery is one of our most import
ant highways, and yet it was con
structed by private enterprise and Is
KEPT IN REPAIR through the same
agency. We understand that few
months ago, when an effort was made
to secure county assistance in widen
ing and grading this road SO as to
bnng it up to the required standard
the proposition was met with the
bluff remark that "You Port Discov
cry people MUST come to Port Town.
send to do your trading, and as long
as the road is passable we needn't
lay out county funds on it," Now,
we ask in all candor, what will our
public roads come to if the above in
dicated spirit continues to be the
ruling one? Suppose Port Dscov
cry people DO have to come over here
occasiona ly to do a little trading,
does not Port Townsend reap the ben
eft of it, and should we not make an
effort to secure and retain as much
trade as possible from that quarter
But there is no need Of discussing
or combating such narrow and mig
gardly ideas. What we need is to
feel our mutual dependence, one
point upon another, and above all to
consider public needs and public
welfare.

When to Cut Timothy.

There seems to be great difference of
opinion in regard to the cutting of
timothy; while some prefer leaving it
stand until the seed forms, Others prefer
cutting as soon as it is out in head; but
1 suppose as soon after the blossom is off
is about as near the time as any to get
the full benefit of the hay. If cut while
in bloom it is apt to be dusty, and if left
too late the stalks are hard and woody,
and devoid of the saccharine matter
that adds SO much to the quality of hay
as food for stock.-BENJ. w. SwAYNE.

A lady inquiries of the Practical Far

and gets the following answer:
" DIR. Warren says that muriatic acid
diluted to the strength of lemonade,
with water, and kept for drink, using
nothing else, will cure the disease in
three weeks time. We have tried it
with four or five children and find it
good. To relieve the paroxysm sprinkle
sulphuric ether on the hand and hold to
the nose.
