A difference In Value.

Rosseau, alluding to the kindness Of
neighbors, says that, when his wife died,
every father in the neighborhood offered
10 console him with one of his daughters;
but few weeks afterward, his COW hav-
ing shared the same fate, no one ever
thought OF replacing his loss by the offer
Of Enthusiastically proving the different
value set upon their COWS and children.

Tne Inventor Of the Bell Rope On
Trains.

The late Captain Ayres, of Patterson,
N. j., was the inventor of the present
bell rope system on railroads. When he
commenced running on the New York
and Eric Railroad the locomotive had no
cab for the engineer nothing but a
framework. There was no way to 60
over the cars nor for the engineer to
communicate with the conductor when
the train was in motion. In those days,
instead of the conductor running tho
train, as at present, the engineer had en-
tire charge, and the conductor was a
mere collector of fares and tickets. In
1S42 Ayres inaugurated system Of sig
nails by cord running over the cars to
the engine, where it was attached TO n
stick Of wood. Ayres' engineer, Dutch
man named Hamill, resented the innova-
ton, cut the stick loose, and the conduc-
tor and engineer had fight at Turner's
over the matter, Ayers whipping his en-
gineer badly, and thereafter conductors,
and not engineers, had charge Of trains.
Soon after the bell rope and gong went
into general use. se.-Pdterson (N. ~

koT QUITE THE THING.

Our war" correspondent at Camp
Brown sent US yesterday an account of
what was considered particularly good
joke in that neighborhood, namely, the
sham arrest of a militia officer by the Pro-
vost Marshal. No doubt this was funny
incident, but it might have occurred to the
facetious projectors of it that so long as
they were representing military discipline
in any way, it was hardly in consonance
with the situation. It might do them
some good to reflect upon the indubitable
consequences of such practical joke, sup
posing it carried out in the regular army.
On the principle that whatever is worth
doing is worth doing well, we submit that
this kind of "fuu," while in camp, is
'honored more in the breach than the
observance. If these excursions have
any practical value it is in accustoming
the militia to the severity of military dis.
cipline. and therefore their purpose is
completely thwarted when discipline is
neglected.

THE RAILROAD SURyEYMG.-Referring
10 the rumored withdrawal of railroad sur
veyors from their efforts to find a practical
route through Southern Oregon to the Cal
ifornia line, the Jacksonville Sentinel says
This report evidently lacks confirmation,
for both surveyors, Howard and Hurlburt,
the former in this county and the latter
in Josephine county, are vigorously push
ing their work. In Josephine Mr.. Hurl-
burt has employed another competent sur
veyor in place of Austin, resigned, and the
work on that line goes on without inter-
ruption. The grade over the highest
point on the Hays hill, we learn, will not
go over 20 feet to the mile, until they get
into the southern part OF Del Norte. over
in California. j. S. Howard, with his
men, is pushing the survey uninterruptedly
toward this valley. He ia now on Neil
creek, near Ashland, about 300 feet above
the town. There is rot the least doubt
but that the Oregon and California Rail.
road Company mean business in the pro.
posed extension of their line.

BRADLAUGH.


Mr.. Bradlaugh has again been elected
from the House of Commons, and this
time with so much of violence that when
he arrived in Palace Yard he is said to
have been CHASTITY pale, and almost faint
ling" Mr.. Bradlaugh says that he is
obeying the mandate of his constituents in
seeking admission to the House, and there
can be no question as TO the truth of this
statement. The House, on It's side, has
refused to allow Mr.. Bradlaugh to take the
oath which he on second thought declared
himself willing to take, because he had
previously declared that he should not con-
slider it binding upon him. No doubt Mr..
Bradlaugh Numbered in this matter. Either
he should have taken the oath quietly at
first, or he should have consistently refused
to take it at all. But the blunder of the
House has been far more serious than that
OF Mr.. Bradlaugh. 1t has undertaken to
erect an artificial standard OF qualifications
which verybody knows to be based upon
pure fiction. 1t is notorious that the
House of Commons contains scores of
members who, if they are consistent,
cannot regard the oath they have taken as
any more binding than Mr.. Bradlaugh
conceives it to be. The only difference be-
tween them and him is that they did not
think it worth while to raise objections on
what they no doubt regarded as trivial
point whereas his chronic warfare with
established religion has made all questions
of the kind seem grave in his eyes. But
the House has virtually asserted that it
will disfraschise MIR. Bradlaugh's con-
stituencY because the member they persist
in preferring does not believe in the bind
ing force of an oath which great many
very respectable people are also skeptical
about. There is no really weighty ques.
ton OF the privilege of the House in issue.
1t has chosen to go into conflict with the
people upon a point on which it can by no
means assume dignifed or consistent atti.
tude. 1t is not Mr.. Bradiaugh that it is
furnishing; it is his constituency and
what have his constituency to do with
this trumpery oath business? And the
great determination of Mr.. Bradlaugh is
certain in the end TO win the day. The
House cannot afford to let this dispute
embroil it with the masses, as it is being
embroiled now. 1t is unGuestionable that
the recalcitrant member has formidable
support behind him, and that he can, and
If forced to do SO. will, so use his skill in
oratory as to make the position Of the
House largely unpopular. 1t viii be felt
that any constituency could be disfran.
chised upon equally frivolous grounds if
this precedent was allowed to stand, and
it is doubtful whether modern House of
Commons can afford to repeat the Wilkes
episode at this time. Bradlaugh is a
dangerous man, and it is evident that he
will not give way. He has the decided
advantage of being able to speak for a
constituency, and thus 20 set his person.

SECOND DISPATCHER
PORTLAND. August 4th-A Chinaman was
arrested to-day. charged with assaulting, for
the purpose Of robbery, an cid German
named f. Dslirlaw, who lives near this city.
Delirlaw lives all alone in cabin. Last
night some one entered the house aud dealt
him two murderous blows on the head with
a heavy bludgeon. Dellrlaw sprang from his
bed. and although bleeding and stunned,
seized poker and struck the assailant, which
caused him to flee. Several Cinnamon live
near the cabin, and there is no doubt as to
the guilt of the party arrested. Delirlaw was
supposed to have quite sum of money,
which tempted the cupidity of the Celestial,
whose object was TO murder and roo. The
old mans head is badly cut. The Chinaman
will be examined Tomorrow

weakest part. It is useless to build
substantial business houses in the center OF

wheat acreage of Minnesota for 1890 were
100000, and for 1881 only about GOO acres
more. The average yield last year was IA 80

corning this years yield. Storms, floods and
bugs have done some injury, but the latest
reports are quite favorable, particularly from
the northern section Of tie State. Other
cereals promise more than average results.

TIE LORDS AND THE LAND BILL.

The Lords are making that kind of fight
against the land bill which they think nee
essary to the maintenance of their dignity,
and to the compensation of their vexed
feelings, but they are perfectly aware that
the measure must become law, and that
they cannot oppose an effective resistance
to it. There are enough weak places in it
to afford opportunity for all the objections
they can raise, and there may be some
points upon which their objections will be
held good. Nobody who has attempted to
follow the prolonged discussion of the bill
can entertain any doubt that it is at the
best but an experiment, and at the best a
very dubious one, because of the peculiar
character of the people among whom it is
to be applied. It is compromise, but a
compromise of a very dangerous kind. 1t
sets up principles which if applied in Eng
land would create revolution Of the
most sweeping character, and every En-
glish landowner must feel that when such
a measure is once enacted for Ireland its
extension over the United Kingdom will
be but question of time. But at the
same time it is understood that there
is no help for it, and therefore. however
bitterly the Lords individually may oppose
it, they will not take upon themselves as
body the responsibility of rejecting it.
1t is altogether too soon for anyone to
assert that the bill is really a benefcent
one. The fact that it seems likely to cure
some abuses cannot disguise the further
fact that it threatens to bring new abuses
into greater prominence. Aud as it is
avowedly half-measure, the Government
must apprehend that its enactment may
after all be only the signal for new de.
mands. When it has been in operation a
year it will be time enough to form a
definite conclusion as to its practical effects
At present it is put forward rather as a
stop gap than as a final adjustment, and
many of its supporters do not hesitate to
express their belief that it is an attempt to
settle a question which in the nature of the
case does not admit of settlement,
