MATCHING AS A HOBBY.
(FrOm the Jamaica Cleaner. }

Hobbies are of various kinds and of
infinite ~range,-some detestable, some
laughabIe, some commendable. The last
class is, perhaps, the smallest. To write of
hobbies is to write of human nature un-
tut0red and untrammeled ; of human
nature as it shows it's strongest and weak
est sides, it's lovely and u%nlovely disposi-
tions OF human nature as it provokes the
loudest laughter and the saddest tears of
high heaven. Everybody, save such as
belong to " the unmotived he I'd that only
sleep and feed" has a f9vourite object of
attention apart from the set purpose and
work of life. Some men will talk by the
hour of "culchaw"; some men Of cheese.
This man devotes his leisure to carving
heads on cherrystones; that man, TO
patient practice on the slack rope and in
their way, they have found vent for ener-
gies' which compel other idiosyncratics to
higher pursuits. None of the ruling
passions SO deserve our praise, or win our
sanction. as those which concern the col
lection or betterment'ot things useful and
beautiful, especially living things. Indeed
as Coleridge says:- So
-kAf Ia AA0 Pt~ OS0O II AObOGh OCOb
3aos oil All things both great and small
s3jsa For the dear God who loveth us
He made and loveth ALL"
NGAud when we see the betterment take
place, we know that, as Richard Baxter
said Quoted by Gosse), I" 1t is God appear
ing in The creatures, that is the life, and
beauty, and use and excellency Of all the
creatures without him they are but car
cases, deiormed, useless, vain, insignificant,
and very nothingn." Fears are often ex-
pressed that our little world will soon he
overfreighted with life; but there will
always be room-for improvement /; aud
Improvement may, in turn, prevent crowd

CHIcAGo's DERlvATIvR-At the recent
annual meeting of the Chicago Academy of
Sciences, Professor Babcock, commenting
upon recent communication to the Chicago
Tribune in regard to the origin of the city's
name, remarked that it was the best show
ing yet made for the "garlie derivation :"
of the word Chicago" though he was
still disposed to question the derivation.
An examination of the fora about Chicago
showed three species of garlic. They
were not found along the banks of the
river, however, but over the prairies, and
two or three species out near Grand Cross
ing, Hence, in his opinion, the name
Garlic river" could not have been APP
piled by the Indians to what was now
known as the Chicago river. But along in
June and July plant with large green
leaves, resembling a cabbage, and very
odorous, was found growing along the
banks of the north branch. The Indians
called it "Shokee, and the English of it
was "Skunk's Cabbage" Shokee, by an
easy transition, had probably passed into
Chicogee, and Chicogee into Chicago In
his opinion the present name of the river
had not been received by calling it Gar
lie creek" but Shokee or "The Skunk's
Cabbage-leaf. .f -s.sv t.

side road that goes south through the
Willamette from Portland has been ex.
tended to Corvallis, and there is great re.
joicing over the fact. 1t will probably be
carried next year through to Junction. in
Lane county, where it will meet the east
side road. What the Willard Company
will do is to considerable extent matter
of conjecture as yet, but it is positive that
they will lose no time to push the enter.
prise they have In contemplation.
MANY THINGS.
Money is more abundant here than was
ever before known, l believe, not because
it grew here, but because it came here
seeking investment. The Dundee Scottish
Loan Company Though that is not its
name) has loaned immense sums to the
farmers of Oregon this fail, and unfor-
tunately they were very glad to borrow it.
This company loans money at 10 per cent.
on lorg time, and as they get all they
want IN Scotland at 5 per cent, or less,
there is evidently a han lsome thing made
out OF 1t. especially as it is the custom to
loanit so that the borrower pays the taxes.
Money can be had here on good real estate
security at ten per cent, but the average
borrower is skinned remorselessly by money
brokers, who charge him fearfuliy for their
commission.
The people in the country are becoming
excited over small profits on farming and
heavy rates OF interest, and there is pop
ular feeling growing up in favor of estab-
fishing by a law lower rate of interest
There is also growing feeling in the
minds of intelligent farmers that they must
find some other use for their land and their
time than raising wheat year after year,
and despoiling the soil of its virtues by the
cargo. They realize that they will soon
have little left, and are casting about for
methods of mixed farming, and indeed
there is need of some diversity, or else the
soil won't long repay for cultivation. While
we have strong soils. they cannot raise
wheat forever without rest or recuperation
Politics is becoming mighty again. The
CO ordination of the Democratic and Re-
publican forces has not been as perfectly
demonstrated in past years as some would
like, and the machine men are inclined to
work out the political problem without the
aid of the people; but all through the
State the people are more or less inclined
to think and act on reason more than on
political. or rather partisan, instinct. c.

POISONED BY HAIR DYE. However mis-
taken an idea of personal comeliness the
use of hair-dye may imply, it is not to be
supposed that any one would choose that
method of committing suicide. Several
physicians who attended the late Cyrus
Morrison, of Lancaster county, Pa, be-
lieve that the dye which he applied to his
hair, whiskers and mustache killed him by
poisoning his system. Since nature agrees

THE ORCHARDS.

l have correspondence from wide
range of territory, showing that the storm
of the 9th of January was no narrow
minded affair, but prevailed over great
extent of sea and land One friend writes
me from far up the Columbia that the
storm reached there in the night, and made a
fearful bowling and some tribulation through
the dark hours. Far south, at the border
of Klamath lake, it was seriously felt. The
destruction of timber was something re-
markable, and many cattle were killed
near here that had sought refuge in the
woods. The great fear now felt is that if
the summer is very dry fires will get out
and sweep over the timber lanes, in which
case great destruction of property must
ensue. One thing about the storm was
noticeable, that it rolled in waves, some
times mostly above the earth, and else
where doing devastating work on the sur
face. An instance was told me to-day of
flock of ducks that were sailing along
above the gale, unconcernedly, when it
suddenly took hold of them and swept
them out of sight. Indications remain of
some distant period when such another
wind upturned great forests, for mounds of
earth show where the great roots were up-
heaved, but it was so long since that the
fallen trees have all decayed, not sign
being left A century or more has passed
since any previous great storm of magni-
Jude was here.
