The Polar Region.

This is the subject which Lieuten-
ant Schwatka is engaged in present
Ing to the public through lecture
tour in Oregon. A letter from him
dated on the 10th instant iutimates
his purpose of visiting Puget Sound,
but the date is not mentioned, which
will probably he some time next
month. Lieut.. Schwatkais undoubt.
eddy the best qualified man living to
irnpart information OF the mysteri-
Gus region which has cost so much
life and treasure to explore. He
was the first Arctic explorer who
found the remains of Sir John
Franklin's expedition, although 81
search expeditions had made the eff
fort previously at cost to England
of s1O,OOO,OOO and seven ships.
Lieut.. Schwatka was the first Arctic
explorer to make his campaign on
sledges alone and trust to the game
en- route for subsistence. During
this expedition he discovered the re-
mains of about 40 men of Sir John
Franklin's party, and inferred the
remains of all except those of Lieut..
John Irving, the only ones identified,
and they were brought back to civi.
lization. They have been inferred
in the Dean Cemetery, Edinburgh.
He also secured many relics of the
ill-starred Franklin party. Lieut..
Schwatka has received for his dis
tinguished services the thanks of the
American Geographical Society, the
Royal Geographical Society of Great
Britain, the Brennan Geographical
Society of Germany, the Imperial
Geographical Societies of Vienna
and St. Petersburg, the National
Academy OF Sciences, tbs New York
Academy of Sciences, the California
Academy of Sciences land has been
elected Honorary Member of many
Of them), and most of the remaining
geographical societies of the world,
and has been invited to participate
in new Arctic expeditions by various
foreign governments. In brief, this
Oregon boy has received more en-
comiums from the press and public
of Great Britain, Germany, Austria,
Russia, France and the United States
than all other Arctic explorers. We
bespeak for him. WHEEL he appears,

services.

The inquiry continually, intrudes
itself, whether a journal claiming
the position of the Oregonian can af-
ford to sanction, directly or indi-
rectly, mob violence or murder. II
it intends to command universal re.
spect it must follow principle where
ever it leads, and turn a deaf ear to
the suggestions of prejudice or pas
sion. We fear that when weighed
in the balance, it will be found want
ing; of the earth, earthly. Hence
the query: Can it afford to drift
from the beacon lights SO far as to
be at sea? Its own words may rise
up in judgment against it some day,
when passion has subsidized, and it
speaks in the voice of Reason upon
some similar occurrence.

The Degeneration of Politics.
Flom the N. Y. World dem, J

Flom the N. Y. World (Dem.J
In the good old days, when the
Democratic party and the Wing
party divided the land between them,
such things as have happened in
Washington and in Albany since the
4th of March last would have been
simply impossible. Why have they
come to pass in this year of grace
1881? Because our politics has
been permitted to degenerate since
the civil war into organized conspir-
acies to obtain official employment
and to plumber the taxpayers in on
der to maintain an army OF political
tramps who snail stand behind md
around the boss from whom they
receive their orders. Until the Wing
party died did any New Yorker ever
witness the spectacle of q candidate
for Office of Senator from New York
in the Congress of the United States
presented himself in Albany and
asking Assemblymen for their votes {
Would such speech as that made b.
Vice President Arthur at the Dorsey
dinner, would q public dinner e.
such o man have been possible, Eve
and twenty years ago? The origin
of all this political degradation i
plain. The Republican party hrs
held the executive power for twenty
years. Up to the 4th of March, 1877,
that power was conferred by IN hon.
est majority of electoral votes. Since
1877 that power has been fraudu-
lently obtained or corruptly bought.
What Judge Black told the Electoral
Commission would come to pass i
that commission falsiied the returns
has come and is coming to pass. The
mills of God have begun to grind at
last. They will grind exceedingly
small.

Good Butter.

While nearly everybody can tell
good butter, as the old lady could
good pudding, by eating it, very few,
even Of the practical dairy women,
know precisely how to attain the
pinnacle OF fame as butter-makers.
All Authorities agree that it i, pio-
cess which must not be sighted ut
any stage. Cure must be taken from
the time the milk is drawn from the
cows, till the butter is exposed, in
neatly stamped rolls, to the pur-
chaser. There is, of course, a DIFF
ference in the milk of cows, bat even
this can be in some degree controlled
by judicions feeding, & knowledge
of which can best be attained by ex-
perment and observation.
\ writer who seems to be we'll
posted, gives few hints which we
transcribe in the hope that they may
be serviceable in improving the
guilty of our butter, and bringing
it nearer the excellent and even
grade Of the article imported from
California, and sold, sometimes to
farmers, as a delicacy commanding
from five to ten cents per roll more
! than the home product. He says:
Cleanliness is indispensable in
making fine salabIe quality of but
ter. The fine nutty favored butter
so eagerly sought is made only
where cleanliness is conspicuous.
In handling the cream, be careful
about it so az to preserve the granules
entire, as near as may be. The salt
used should be clean and fine and
free from Jumps, so that it will de-
solve quickly and mingle with the
butter grains. The butter should
not be permitted to stand exposed
to the air for the salt to dissolve, fol-
it is liable to injury in this way.
Nor should it be worked too much,
as the butter grains are thus broken.
The best Lutter-gilt-edged-is
made from cream taken from the
milk while it is sweet, or before
acidity has been developed. The
practice formerly was not to skim a
pan of milk until it was clabbered
When all of the cream is thrown up
the sooner it is removed the better.
If it stands longer the flavor gen.
orally is injured by acidity. The
proper temperature-that which has
been found by experiment to be the
best-for churning cream is from SIS
to GO degrees Fab. The agitation OF
the cream in churnins should be
regular, neither too quick nor too
slow. When butter is properly
churned, both cs to time and TEN :
perature, it does not require much
working to make it firm and waxy,
rendering it easy Of moulding into
any desired shape. In washing and
sailing, so that the butter will keep
without danger of rancidity and loss
of its agreeable flavor, the object is
to remove the buttermilk. When
this is thoroughly done from butte,
of the quality above mentioned, it
will be justly entitled to the name of
| gilt-edged.

The ship Palmyra left Portland
on the 9Th, with 900 tons of wheat
on board, but this was less than half
of her usual load. She proceeded
to Bakers Bay where 1900 tons
more were to be taken on to com.
plete her full lading. The ship H.
mora, now in process of loading at
Portland, takes about half her load
and then goes down to deep water
to receive the other half. The addi-
tional cost for ship to load in this
manner is about 81, 625. OF course
this onerous tax ultimately comes
out of the pockets of the farmers
themselves.

Philosopher Jack.

A. 8. Dildine, Deputy County Sur
veyor of Churchill county, owns
trained mule which has u we'll of
mule wisdom in its head. He is
known to all the inhabitants of Ma
son Valley and Churchill county as
Philosopher jack and in addition
to various useful items of knowledge
is possessed of several small accom-.
plishments which verge closely upon
art. He has been trained to wag his
tail at his master like a dog, and
bleat like a lamb. When Jack is
Embarrassed he needs no tying, as he
follows his master around faithfully,
and if not fed promptly will back
up and kick at him affectionately, to
remind him of the delay, and Mr..
Dildine generally acknowledges the
barley.
While Mr.. Dildine is at work
Jack usually accompanies him, and
where it is necessary to run line
over a place too steep for mule
climbing his doleful brays, alterna-
ting with lamb-like bleatings are
kept up until path can be found
by which he can make his way into
comfortable proximity with his
master. Jack bids fair to live long
life; the whip has no terrors for
him; be has never felt it, neither
does heavy load worry him; he
stops and rests whenever so inclined
he is an excellent judge of good
place at which to stop and brace on
either an up or down grade. He is
particularly in love with soft mud
dy spots as hating places, and load
or no load will stop and rest, much
to the annoyance of his owner.
Knowing himself to be a pet he
camly wags his muddy tail after be-
ing helped out of the mire, turns
away wrath by gentle bleat, and
turning an extensive but Indifferent
ear to the remonstrances of hishun an
companions, moves off quietly with
his load, confident that he is not for
sale at any price.

A Revival ct Silver City.

Work has been begun on the En-
igrant Mine in Silver City, and that
once lively little place will probably
soon have a revival of prosperity.
1t is known that there is body of
ore in the ground of the Emigrant
and that of the Cherokee which
Joins it on the south. The hosting
works have already been commenced
and it may not be long ere the old
Trench Mill will have to resume
operations on home productions.
The successful working of the EN-
igrant and Cherokee mines will
doubtless be the cause of u renewal
of operations in number of mines
Low lying idle in the Canon, and 1t
is not without the bounds OF posi-
bility that a narrow gauge r. r. may
be built in Gold Canon to carry ore
down to Dayton tor working.

Parted.

You have gone. and I am sad and lonely.
In losing you learned loved you we'll;
But one above has MARRIED our pathways.
And we know He doth all things we'll.
You went. I know, on pleasant dreaming,
But to drink of dangerous delight;
And the star that was upon your pathway
besming,
Does it dazzle yet awhile, your wistful sight
You left me without q word of parting;
Oh, did you know you were all the world to
me?
And now mourn. my life seems cold and
empty,
Destitute of all the warmth and bloom that
used to be.
mourn foryou because miss the pleasure
For which once alone did live,
But all have left is your dear. sweet pic
tur,
That brings more joy now than all the earth
can give.
love you with dear and deep affection,
Which shall remain till life itself has fed;
But you left me without 3 word of warning,
And care not to livs-I would that l were
dead. NJ. AN.
