yenomors mushrooms; the ashes of the pear
tree were also used for the same medical pur-
pose. The ancients appear to have had Curl
Gus notion respecting the effect of this fruit on
beasts of burden, for Pliny tells us load of
apples or pears, however small, is sngularly
fatiguing TO them. The best way to counter
act this, they say, is to give the animals some
TO eat, or at least show them the fruit before
starting Virgil speaks of pears which he had

Mr.. VIM. Reid who was a pas
senger by the last steamer depart
ing from Oregon; not for Scotland,
as contemporary in Portland sug-.
gests, but for San Francisco, pos
siblv for Omaha. The exact
nature of Mr.. Reids business is
of course not altogether a matter
for the public, and yet it is. Rail-
roading is a business which the
whole public are interested 10 know
as much about as possible. Some
of Mr.. Reids movements, at this
particular juncture of affairs in
Oregon, are watched with deep
interest. We understand that the
Oregonian railway company Qimit
ed) offer their plant for sale. That
half million more than it cost
them has been offered by respon.
sible persons, bat In consequence
of their previous negotiations with
the Central Pacific railroad com
pany they feel under obligation TO
Huntington & Co. TO the extent
that they VIII not close out the
plant to others until the Central
Pacific railroad folk are satisfied l.
take it or leave it. Very likely
they will leave It. Then 1t may
pass into other hands equally able
10 complete the system and eXtcnd
il. If Huntington & Go. take il
they will complete the system and
make the proposed Nevada con.
nection. la either event, no mat
ter who gets it, they will be forced
to carry the road beyond Portland
but whether to 1t. Helen or Il
Astoria is not settled. The pres
ent management will carry tht
line into Portland just as soon a.
possible. The Oregonian informs
us that enough iron is afoat to com
plete the road from Portland to th,

Countess of Rothes sailed from

Oregey. and California Railway.

BY the terms of the plan of
recognizing the Oregon and Cali
fornia railway, the new manage
ment come into possession of the
land grant between Astoria and
the Willamet valley. 1t seems to
US that by this movement there is
an absolute certainty that the Ore
gon and California railway com
pany will not longer risk delay in
building the extension to Astoria
from Hillsboro or Forest Grove
In fact we have what is to US as
surance that the work will soon be
commenced here and pushed on to
speedy completion. Itis reasonable
to suppose that this should be the
case, because there are loud COM
plants and vociferous demands
that the grant be set aside, or that
the road be built. On the score
of paying, there is not division
of railroad on the Pacific coast
anywhere that will pay better than
this extension Of the Oregon and
California railway to Astoria. Il
it is not built soon the demands oi
people will be made SO loud that
the noise may be caught by the
ear OF a rival corporation which
possibly might prove to be a
pretty large sized thorn in the
sides of the Oregon and Californis
railway company.
