CLIPPINGS.

The biggest farce of the season was
the Bribery Case" at the Oregon Legis
lature. An old gentleman named Mich
OILS, member of the house from Wasco,
told Holman, of the OrPgOnidH, that Bob
Ford had offered him $4,000 to vote for
Mitchell. Holman telegraphed the story
to his paper. Mitchell demanded an in
vestigation. and it was shown by the tes-
timony of Nichols that Ford, who did not
know Mitchell, had not offered him
a cent, but that Nichols
had intimated to Ford that for $4,000
he would vote for Mitchell; and that
Mitchell had told Ford that if $1,000
would buy the Senatorship he did not
have the money to pay for it. The Ore
gOhidn made great outcry over Nichols
story and got laughed at for his trouble.

Some thirty-fve iron mine claims have
been taken on the Skaglt up to the pres
ent time. Several tests OF the ore have
already been made and have been found
satisfactory. Claimants are diligently
at work securing their rights under the
law, and no doubt ere another year rolls
around smelling works will be in opera
ton there, which together with the coal
veins now being prospected and devel-
oped will bring the SKagit country into
considerable prominence as the great

The weather during the past month of

with the exception of twenty-four hours
OF soft gale. Mr.. Goodall and party
during their visit to Alaska visited the
famous lakon glaciers and other places
of note, and returned highly pleased
with their trip. A brighter outlook for
Alaskan ports in the future than has pre-
vailed in the past is anticipated

Carlo, Oct. while the annual
train which recently departed with i'm
posing ceremonies, was journeying to
Suez on the way to Mecca, the canopy
over the sacred car was caught and over

The Dervishes in charge were greatly

The facts in regard to the inhuman
treatment of sailors on board the ship
Challenger we gather from an up Sound
source, as follows: The ship Challen-
ger, $50 days from Philadelphia, loaded
with railroad iron, arrived at Tacoma
Saturday evening, As soon as possible
the Captain went up town and made a
complaint against the third mate charg-
ing him with insanity. An investigation
OF the case demonstrated about this state
Of facts: Shortly after the ship left
Philadelphia, the first and second mates
commenced their inhuman and brutal
treatment Of the sailors, and because the
third mate refused to assist them III their
tiendish work, he was cruelty beaten and
sent before the mast. He was here so
tortured that he preferred death to such
life and attempted to kill himself but
the lesden missed failed to do its deadly
work, but lodged in his right breast. For
this he was heavily chained to the floor
of little dark room too small to lie
down comfortably in, and kept there for
three months with 20 care except that
bestowed by the sailors, at the risk of II
beating il they did anything to make
him comfortable. The sailors also say
that the Captain proposed to them sew
eral times to throw the man overheard,
claiming that he was crazy, and that a
ship never had any luck with an insane
man on board. This poor devil was not
the only one who was inhumanly treat
ed on the trip. The entire crew were
beaten, bruised and SCARED up. On the
Goth Of June at 10 o'clock, a Norwegian,
who had been often beaten in most in
concevably brutal manner, deliberately
leaped overheard and was drowned. The
vessel was moving but about two knots
an hour but not the least effort was
made to rescue the man from a grave in
the ocean. One was knocked down for
some trivial OiIense, and kicked on the

Profitable POliteness.

The Boston Traveller, in commenting on
the prevalence of rudeness, tells the follow
ing incident that happened some years ago
There was very plainly dressed, elderly
lady who was frequent customer at the
then leading dry goods house In Boston. No
one in the store knew her even by name. All
the clerks but one avoided her and gave
their attention to those who were better
dressed and more pretentious. The exception
was young man who had . conscientious
regard for duty and system. He never left
another customer to wait on the lady, but
when at liberty he waited on her with as much
attention as If she had been 4 princess.
This continued year or two, till the young
man became Of age. One morning the lady
approached the young man, when the follow
ing conversation took place:
Lady-''Young man, do you wish to no
into business for yourself ?'
"Yes. na'am." he replied. .'but have
neither money, credit nor friends"
"Well," continued the lady, ''you 90 and

her address.
The young man found splendid location
and good store /: but the landlord required

Of the laiy's request, he forthwith went to
her and reported.

that will he responsible"
He went and the landlord or agent was
surprised, but the bargain was closed.
The next day the lady again called to
ascertain the result. The young man told her
but added:
'What am to do for Roodsf No one will
trust me-"
"You may 90 and see MI, and Mr..
-, and Mr., and tell them TO call on

He did so, and his store was soon stocked
with the best in the market. There are many
in this city who remember the circumstances
and the man. He died many years ago. and

The season is very late. and vegetable
growth is very backward. The chief oh.
ject of the farmer now is to push his crops
ahead so that they will arrive at maturity
before the early frosts set in. To attain
this end there is no more potent way than
to stir the soil. Stir it deep and often.
Don't let the weeds get foot-hold, but
destroy them as fast as they appear. Let
the farmer use every means in his power
to forward the growth of his crops, then il

crops fail he himself will not be to blame.
There are advantages in being a farm

His lot may be hard work and no end of

the bankrupt law in Massachusetts, only
IA were farmers. and Of 1850 in New
