VALUABLE INVENTION AT ALBANY.

We are informed that Mr. ii. Ken
ton Of Albany, after about two years
Of study and experiment, has succeeded
in the invention Of an electric sluice
for saving fne gold from black sand.
The machine is based on strictly scien-
ti6c principles, is very simple, easily
handled and can quickly be set up at
any point where the miner desires to
work. Magnetic power Is used upsn
Ihe sand AZ it passes through the sluice
boxes in such a way as to lift it from
the gold-in fact throwing the black
sand into an open or porous condition,
leaving free passage, thrsngh which
the gold finds an easy way to tho
quicksilver in the bottom Of the sluices.
After The sand passes through quite q
number Of sluice boxes, being carried
along by stream of water that runs in
at the head of the sluicc, it finally
Semes in contact with a magnetic
cylinder that separates by revolving
brush the magnetized portion of the
sand from that which is not magnetic
It is claimed that with the use Of this
machine fully 20 per cent. of the gold
in the black sand along the sea beach
of this coast can be saved. Hitherto
no method Of working has resulted in
in saving mere than Is or 90 per
cent. From this will be seen at once
how valuable the invention of Mr..
Kenton must prove to be, If it will do
all that is claimed fer it.--Oregonian.

WITH many Of the settlers of tie
north west the past winter has been
prolonged struggle for existence against
the elements. a German farmer two
years ago took up l60 acres of land
near Big Lake, Dakota. Last year he
raised wheat on G5 acres, getting %
bushels to the acre, and received 81 200
for it. Laying in what he considered
an ample supply of fuel out of these
proceeds, he set his houee in order for
the winter. Two other families de-
cided to leave their own houses, and to
lodge with him as measure of mutual
protection and comfort. Very soon
the ample supply of fuel was all con-
sumed, and the three families had to
bestir themselves to keep from freezing.
They dug railroad ties and telegraph
posts out of the deep snow and burned
them. After this source of supply had
been exhausted, the two families that
had quilted their own houses were COM
PEELED to take part in tearing them
down; and the wood work sent went
the way of other fuel. Next followed
the furniture. A neighbor named
Becker finally harnessed five streng
horses to a sleigh to force his way to
the nesrest railway station for load
of coal. He was caught in snowdrift,
and two days later was found frozen
stiff in his sleigh, his dog dead, lying
upon him, and the five horses standing
dead in their tracks. His body was
taken to his family, nailed up in box,
and placed in the grain loft, to be kept
there until the ground should thaw
sufficiently and allow of his burial.
Another family of the neighborhood
was saved from starvation by making
souD of an ox-skin.

We wish to call the attention Of our
readers, and more especially of our
farmer readers, to the article which ap-
pears on the fourth page sf this issue
Of the DEMocRAT under the above title.
The writer, Mr.. MOngredien, is a man
whose views are peculiarly worthy Of
consideration by reason Of the study he
has given the topic he essays. He is
one of the ablest and most profound
thinkers on the tariff question either Of
this country or England, and bis views
as expressed in the columns referred to
will be of interest now that this ques-
ton is attracting so mach attention.
The following chapters of his pamphlet
entitled the "Western Farmer of Amer

AMERICAN AND RUSSIAN GRAIN conPE
TIT1OA.

An Odessa grain circular gives tie
following despondent account of tho In
ability Of South Russia TO compete
with the United States for the grain
trade of Europe;
The total amount Of exports Of grain
and seed for the year 1880 Is 3,s40, l4o
chefs (2,77l 400 qrs. against 7,72l, $50
chefs (5,659,5oo qrs.) in 1870. Thus,
there is falling Off in this year, COM
pared with that which proceeded it, Of
moro than fifty per cent. This enor-
nous difference to the disadvantage OF
the trade of Odessa mainly arises from
the badness Of the harvest and the
paucity Of the yield in almost every
breadstuff, except maize. But although
this is the capital, IL Is not the only
cause; there are others, which, although
their effect upon the commerce of the
past year was relatively uncomfortable
as compared with that Of the failure OF
tho wheat crop, arc really more serious,
becanse they arc of u permanent and
not Of an accidental character like a
bad harvest. Russia has been 30 con-
iident in her monopoly hitherto of the
grain trade, that little attention has
been bestowed upon it. The wheat,
to begin with, is badly harvested and
badly dressed. The soil being full Of
weeds, there is always large per cent
age Of seeds mixed with the wheat, and
the agriculturalists being uuprovided
with the proper implements for dress
ing, or barns Cor storing their corn, it
is brought TO market heavily charged
with earth, which holds the damp and
causes more or less deterioration in the
grain. So, il has come 10 pass that
the purchase Of cargo Of Russian
wheat "to arrive" leads TO difference
between the buyer and the seller, arbi-
tration ensuss, and the exporter has
generally to make a bonidcation 70 the
purchaser. But, besides all this, the
country is 10 i'll equipped for The pur.
psses Of commerce-thc roads arc 90
few and 30 bad-that the grain, be.
sides being dirty, is dear in consequence
Of the heavy charges for carriage and
shipping, with which. owing to the
want of proper appliances, it is saddled.
While she was without n rival in the
trade, Russia could afford to shut her
eyes to these things, but such Is not
the case new. America has supplantcd
Russia in the British market, which
was the main outlet, and during tbs
past season the wheats OF America
have also found their way in consider.

Mediterranean ports, where their
cleanliness, good condition and even'
ness Of quality have already secured

THEY say that Vice President Arthur
don't recognize Senator Sherman as
readily as he does the other Senators
in fact, he does not recognize him at
This is horrible state of affairs.
Wonder what the trouble can be- To
be sure Sherman about two years ago
kicked Arthur out of the New York
Custom House for corruption, incom-
potency and gross abuse of the privi-
leges of his Office, but the Vice Presi-
dent shouldn't harbor any little act ike
that against the great Senator frem
Ohio. Dir. Arthur should remember
that Mr. Sherman was compelled in the
last campaign to stultify himself by
warmly advocating the election to a high
Office of one whom he had previously
discharged for dishonesty. That would
seem TO be about humiliation enough
for any one act, and the Vice President
cln well afford to call the transaction
square.

OREGON AND cALIroRSIA RAILROAD.

There will be meeting Of the bond
holders Of the o. and c. Il. II. Co, at

really the owners OF tho road it is also
a meeting Of stockholders. This ia
undoubtedly the most important meet
Ing ever held by these owners Of the

understood this call is for the purpose
Of arranging tho sale Of the o. and G.

place them both under the manage
