4 Dearh-Brd Sermon.

a Death-Bed Sermon.
A gentleman died at his residence in
one of our uptown fashionable streets,
leaving sll, 100000 BE was a member
of the Presby teriau church, in excellent
standing, q good husband and father,
and a thriving citizen. r.-5 ~. =
On his death-bed, lingering long, he
suffered with great agony OF mind, and
gave occasional expression to his re-
morse at what his conscience told him
had been an ill-spent life. @ Sc
r0h7 he exclaimed, as his weeping
friends and relatives gathered around
his bed, "if I could only live my years
over again, / would give all the wealth
l have amassed in lifetime. 1t is O
life devoted to money-getting that ! re,
gret. 1t is this which weighs me down
and makes me despair of the life here
after.p g.cr 9ssv . Els ~-ses
His clergyman endeayored to soothe
him, but he turned bis face to the
walt, - - i.i1
"You have never rcproved my avar-
icious spirit" he said to the minister ;
you have called it a wise economy and
forethought, but my riches have been
only q snare for my soulI I would
give all possess TO have hope for my
poor soul'' ca hsEsa Ea at
In this state of mind, refusing to be
consoled, this poor rich man bewailed
life devoted to the acquisition oi
riches. Many came away impressed
with the uselessness of such an exis-
tence as the wealthy man had spent,
adding house to house and dollar to
dollar until he became millionaire.
All knew him to be a protesting
christian and good man as the world
goes but Che terrors and remose OF his
death bed administered lesson not to
be lightly dismissed from memery.

Be hopcfdl, and brave, and patient, and soon
Will shine out a glorious gladdening noon.

CORVALLIS ,ell TELEPHONE EXCHANGE.

Ep1ToRs, CORVALLIS GAZETTE
Some of your readers may be in
terested in the following statistics
relative to the business of the Cor
Wallis Telephone system, which will
Show whether it is of any real service
to the business community Of this
place.
Taking an average there are about
so messages sent through all con-
nect;ons made at, the head Office
daily. Thus the number of COM
munications passing through the
Telephone in the year aggregates at
least $1,000. Each message repre-.
sents. at lowest computation a dis
tance of one mile. So we see that
a distance, mostly in walking, OF over
$4,000 miles, or considerably more
than half the circumference OF the
globe, is annually saved to the IN
babitants of Corvallis and Philomath.
With these figures before them
few would be bold enough to dispute
the intrinsic business value OF the
Telephone even in SO small town,
comparatively speaking, as Corvallis.
The Telegraph Office at Corvallis
being ] mile distant from the
business part of town the Telephone
obviates much delay both in re-
ception and delivery of kilograms.
The Telegraph company undertakes
The free delivery of kilograms with
in the town limits. 1t has been
thought fair and right to institute
small charge of 10 cts, for transmit
ting each message through the
Telephone to the Telegraph office
and this is, accordingly being
done.
Everyone, Of course, has the op
ton of taking Telegrams direct t.
the head office, as was the cas-
previous to the introduction OF tn
Telephone. Subscribers to the Tele
phone are exempted from any charg
for transmitting kilograms.
| As regards the correctness 9
kilograms sent through the Tele
phone only one error has been know
, to occur in period of over a yea
and that was the fault of the sender
, Facts speak for themselves.

IDLY and aptly illustrates the differ
ence between free trade, protection
and "a tariff for revenue only" 1t
says:
'The farmer who protects himself
that Is the farmer who keeps up
good fences, pastures his own cattle,
s,d keeps his crops from cattle and
hogs which run at large, so that they
cannot break in-will be likely to

sumption, but something for market.
And if he takes care to sell more than
he buys, no will in times gov rich.
If, by such economy and thrift, his
annual income is greater than his ex-
penses, it is impossible he shall fall
into bankruptcy; it is impossible he
should not Increase in wealth. He
has then a substantial capital on
which to trade; ard if he follows up
the same principles of management in
all his business, he will be able grad.

and will become better off. As he
accumulates, his wants are augment.

able to buy, partly for taste, partly
for comfort, and partly to expand
the value of what he has already. II

which he imposed on himself and his
neighbors-with no wrong to then
and certainly with great benefit tt
himself-it was this tariff, we say
with which he started in life, tina

pfRchERun HoRsEs,

It is generally accepted fact
that the breeding of what are termed
fancy horses, cannot be successfully
done by the ordinary breeder. With
rare exceptions, breeding for seed Is
70 uncertain, even when those en-
gagged in the business are possessed
of the very choicest animals adapted
to that purpose, that it Is only those
those that have fortune, and are
able to pursue the object as matter
of pleasure, that can successfully
pursue the business for any great
length of time. The mania that for
years has possessed our people for
breeding fast horses is rapidly leaving
them, and they are beginning to
realize that if they are to make any
money in breeding horses of any
kind, it must be; in producing animals
that will have a specific value in
themselves, whether trained or un-
trained. It is not necessary to
enlighten the people as to the class
of horses that sell the most readily
at the present time. Every one
knows that good-formed, large-sized.
vigorous, hardy draft horses arc ir
active demand, and that the buyers
are searching the country in every
portion where these horses can be
found in any considerable numbers
and paying large prices, 5000 te
$3.50, for animals that weigh from
| 1900 to 1000 pounds.
How to produce this class o
horses is something that interests
every farmer throughout the country
A few years since, when there wer'
no pure bred, large sized stations t.

impossibility to do so with any de
gree of certainty from our ordinar.

CAPITAL Notes.

Washington, March 11.-In the demo-
cratic caucus to-day, some senators fa-
vored asking the republicans when they
would be ready to go ahead, while 9th
crs thought that the business should not
be delayed because there were vacancies.
Mr. Vance proposed to pair with four re-
publican vacancies aud ask the repuhli-
cans to go on with the organization, but
a majority overrliled this and decided to
20 right on. The caucus virtually agreed
to the suggestion of Mr.. Garland, that
if the republicans would name an carly
day when they will participate in the or
ganization that tho democrats would ac-
cede to their wishes in the matter. We'd
nesday or Thursday will probably be fix
ed as the date.
Republicans, to-day, claim Malone
positively. The democrats claim that
he will not vote on the organization at
all.
David Davis created a surprise by re-
fusing the craftsmanship of the judiciary
committee today.
A republican caucus was held, it il
said, to consider the democrats propo
sition.
The democratic senators in caucus
unanimously agreed to carry out the
programme agreed upon FOR the immedi
ate organization of senate committees.
The cabinet instructed Secretary Win
dom to prepare a decision on the nationa
bank question, which will be published
probably this afternoon.
