hundred years old, dated from any de-
sired landmark in history, is turned out
every year in great abundance by those
who are skilled in the business. Old
clocks, old dresses, old bcdsteads and
old anything, even if made yesterday,
have great value in the eyes of many
persons satisfied with antiquity in ap-
pearance. Worm-eaten furniture is
now one of the RACES. This furniture is
easily produced with the aid of ofbird-shot
which is fired into it. Old houses torn
down furnishes wOrm-eaten timber of
which the set of furniture used by Phil
ip of Spain was made.

The Skeleton Of Guiteau.

A Washington dispatch says: The WORK
Of rrepareinS the skeleton of the assassin
Guiteau will probably be completed and the
object placed ON exhibition in the army med
ical museum by the first of next month
The delay has been caused by the fact that but
one pe'so, could be trusted to perform the
duty, and the demand for ghastly souvenirs
tempted the other workmen to make way
with every portion they could lay their
hands on. One Of the ears and numerous
muscles were placed in oil and taken of
during the first two or three days that the
Cadavcr was exposed in the maseunh,
and the coffin in which the body
was brought up from the Jail has been
completely demolished and carried
of. 1t turns out that DR.. Hicks wa. present
when the grave in the Jail was opened the
night Of the I'd Of July. The box in which
the coffin was encased was replaced in the
grave and Garth piled and pounded down
upon it to ward off suspicion that its con-
tents had been ta!nrered with: The anato-
mist at the medical museum; DR.. E. r
Schafhirt, sul,erintended the removal by
two trusty willie laborers, while Warden
Crockcr and his deputy Capt. Russ, stood
by with lanterns to expedite the job. The
stories about the remains having been ex-
posed upon the roof of the museum
are denied by the officials in charge,
and your correspondent was to-day
shown the receptacle ofwhat remains Of

back windows the bones lie in promiscu.
Gus pile bleaching in the sun, and where it
is stated they have been for the past five
weeks. They are as white as ivory and not
ajoint is missing, SO that when the process
OF articulation is finished the skeleton will
be one of the most perfect in the collection.
Great care will be taken, however, to pre-
the smaller bones, and it is probable that a =

The new store here is approximating

1t appears from the report of the
clearance of ships carrying grain out
of the Columbia river, that the Oregon
farmer depends chiefly on a foreign
market for his products. If our tariff
was so adjusted that vessels could OBJ
tain freight both ways, they could car
ry our produce away for lower tonnage
than they can while the ships are
obliged to come here in ballast. The
lower the tonnage the more will the
farmer realize from the sale of his
grain. Coffee, tea. and such articles
of commerce which are not produced
in our country, should be subject to a
light tariff, while on these which are
produced here it should be higher, so
that in addition to raising revenue
sufficient TO meet the expenses of gov
ernment, it would protect home indus
tries. An advalorem tariff will raise
more revenue than high protective
tariff, for the latter has tendency to
exclude from commerce the articles
protected against. FARMER.
