Our fellow-townsman, Mr.. II. A.
Minis, reached home Wednesday
morning direct from Los Angeles,
California, where he spent some three
weeks prospecting and looking at the
country generally. Mr.. Minis says
candidIy that he was disappointed in
all that he saw, even to the elm ate.
It was colder there than here, and the
reason that grapes and other f.uits
were SO prolific was owing to the Fact
that there was not enough moisture
to produce frost. He never knew a
country so greatly overrated. Labor
is so abundant that the man who ex-
poets to make his living by the sweat
of his brow, stands poor chance in
deed. Mr. Minis, however, made
slight investment in mines, and ex--
poets to return in the spring. We
trust his mine may prove bonanza.

Thousands or Fish Dying.
East Portland Vindicator.


Along the banks Of the river be-
tween Milwaukee and Oregon City
are to be seem, lodged in the drift and
among the rocks, thousands Of river
fish floating with their backs down
ward and exhaling fearful stencil.
In many places hundreds Of them can
be seen floating together emitting an
effluvid that is a real "paralyzer" to
anyone not raised in glue factory or
Chinese wash-house. The cause Of
this terrible slaughter among the fnny
innocents is not quite clear but is caus-
ed, SO some say, by the blasting for
rocks at various points along the shore
large quantities of which are brought
down for building purposes in the two
cities. The fish in the hot weather
of the past week have become very
patrid and-just think of 1.-THE peo-
pie of Portland have to drink the Will
annette river water that contains
these water soaked and ripe" aqua
tics.

Slander.
The Methodist.

There is a depraved appetite for
slander. It pays to print the stuff.
Village gossip, more than half lie,
and the more it is lie, is swift footed,
and will call at every house in day.
In the city the newspapers supply the
lovers of slanderous reports, If the
editor is mercenary or mean enough to
print such items. Like death, slander
loves shining mark" The better
the man, the more honorable and use
full his career, the higher his position,
the more attractive is scandal relating
to him. The more one-sded and un.
fair the slanderous assault, the more
it ia relished. The market for such
ware is large, active, and constant.

Horrible Cruelty of Oriental Punish
ment,

A cable dispatch gives the frlghttul
intelligence that Captain Riviere, the
Commander of the French forces occu-
pying Fort Hanoi, in Cochin, China,
being captured in skirmish with the
Anamites, with fifteen of his men, was
executed the following day with the
rest Of the prisoners. The Paris Gau-
lois says the unfortunate men suffered
death from implement, a mode of
death SO cruel and revolving that, in
case the report of the Gaulois should
be confirmed, the outrage will doubt
less call down upon its infamous per-
petrators the Indignation Of the whole
civilized world.
The impaling of persons sentenced
to death for great crimes has been
practiced in the East for many centu-
rles. In Turkey, where this punish
ment was most frequently inflicted,
assasslns whose crimes were of an ag-
gravated character, were always con-
demned to die on the pole; and the
traveller who penetrates into the inte-
rior of Asia Minor will now and then
even In these times, ride past slender
IA
posts erected along the roadside, on
Which tie skeletons of the unfortu-
mates are hanging who have been put
to death in this horrible manner. Saint
Edme in his Dictionaire de la Penalite
describes the manner in which this
punishment is inflicted, as follows:
Il "The unfortunate man who is to suf-
Ter death by implement is laid fiat
H upon the ground, face downward. His
hands are tied on his back, and one of
the executioner's assistants sits down
ION his back, SO that the victim cannot
move. A second assistant holds the
eulprlt's head firmly to the ground, and
thlrd assistant seizes his legs. which
ne holds SO that he cannot move them.
lae executioner now approaches with
'ne instrument of death, long stake
or pole, which he pushes into the BODY
from behind. The pole tapers almost
20 point, but is rounded off some
"hat at the end, so that it will not
penetrate the entrals at once. The
eAecutloner pushes this pole into the
hesh as far as he can with his hands,
"herenpon fourth assistant drives it
e''i further with a mallet. Now, the
po'e' which has penetrated deeply into
'ne body OF the doomed man, is set
upright in the ground, and the victim
Is lett to die upon it. The weight of
'oe body presses it further down upon
she stake every moment, and the point
nnally protrudes from the breast or
slae OF the culprit Some of those
lp'n whom this horrible punishment
sias oeen inflicted died quickly, and
aeF suffering was soon over, but
p'hefs are said to have sufftrsa untold
sony Tor hours, and even days, be-
o'e ueath put an end to their torment
