Saturday Night Drunks,

This morning the mayor committed
three DRINKS to the work house for 10
days, one for 20 and two were discharged
on payment Of costs. There was consider
able drunkenness and disorder in different
parts of the city on Saturday night. The
residents of Lime street from the railroad
bridge to Middle street were awakened by
q disgraceful queaFel between man and
his wife between and 9 o'clock yester-
day morning. @ appears that he had
caught his wife at a house where she
should not have been and took her away.
On the road home they used the foulest
kind OF language in theloudest manner pos
sible, to the disgust Of people who were
awakened by them, and if their name
could be learned both should yet be
arrested,

OF the country has evoked Il discussion
of the question from which the friends
of the higher learning have nothing 10
fear; and thus far at least the strength
of the argument, whether judged by The
logic of it or the weight of authority, is
with those who differ from Mr.. Adams.
The discussion has brought out very
clearly that there is an abundance of
schools in this country and in Euroie
where scientific or "practical'' educa
tion can be had without the compulsory
study of the dead languages but that they
do not largely attract the patronage of
those who have the direction of young
men seeking culturein its broadest sense
and also that the experience of these
who have had the best opportunities for
studying and comparing the two systems
of education leads to the view that the
hest results-practical results, if you
please-have come from the Old plan.
But, be this as it may, the elective sys-
tenn is now having a fair trial in many
well equipped institutions and without
much reconstruction of the curriculum
in fifteen or twenty years the country
will have a fair chance to judge from the
records of the graduates and their work
which plan ii the end makes most for
the true purposes of advanced educa-

THERE seems to be a reasonable curi

the position occupied during the last
campaign by Candidate Niles Not
withstanding the part he took in helping
to defeat Oliver for senator, he is said TO
have written to Gen. Beaver, pledging
himself to support him. but when h S
party became SO closely divided in TiOea
county that Beaver and Stewart were
almost even at the finish it is said that
Niles kept one foot Oh each side of the
fence. Such position, after his pledges
to Beaver, is not creditsble to him and
in fact his whole course during that cam.
paign does not indicate him to be a man
of such positive chaEacter as is needed in
the Office for which be o. candidate.

are not buds-a continuation of the po-
tato as in trees-but like seeds, which,
when ripe, are cut off from the mother
matrix forever in existence.
Again, if Rusticut is right, then we
have the potato from its stem, drawing
starch from the "tuber" and the roots
drawing very different food from disor-
gained matter, and mingling in a Gem
mon circulation--an anomaly which
stands alone in all the Flora and
Fauna. My method, however, is to
cut the seed and when the "eyes" are
too thick to separate without wounding
the germs through the short diameters
then cut the seed end into four sets,
whilst the remainder of the potato is
cut to one "eye" with more substance.
The reason of this is not that the plant
may be supported by the old nutriment,
but merely be kept moist till it is in
stalled with roots in the soil-the place
of its new growth, so that the plant
may not be crowded, but be the best
distributed for large bulbs and heavy
yields.

The Spring and Autumn are, by
common consent, the best times for
using medicine to purify the blood.
This is very easily understood, and is
founded on the wise law that precau
ton is better than cure. The spring
precedes summer, when the action OF
the heart is stimulated by the heat
which opens the skin, relaxes the tbs
sues, and gives the organs task Of
more labor. The autumn proceeds
winter, when cold benumbs the nerves,
closes the skin, and loads the circula.
tory powers. If the blood is not pure
and clean the consequences are that il
deposites its impurities in its sluggish
course through the various organs
necessary to life and they are poisoned
Now is the time to avoid them by us

There was mar aud his namc was Brown
Aud he lived about mile aud halt from

And this here Teller he was awfally down
In the mouth, for his crap was likeu for to
drown,
Becuz his 80 was low, fiat land,
His very midrif talked and panied
AS no noticed how it rained and ralned;
And drafted 50 it couldn't be drained.
And his corn wuz yeller and the weeds they
gained,
And the tadpoles threatened to take that
land.
II cloud came up as big as gourd,
Why, that was enuf, and it ripped and roard
AS if all the water that ever was stored
Since the days of Noah had suddenly poured
On that miserable 50 Of low, fat land.
The weather buro, it wuz all in muSs,
And instid of gttin better, the weather got
wuss;
And Brown lowed he wouldn't raise nothin
but pus,
Ley, he didn'tdo nothin but cuss
And NOPE around the edge of that low, fiat
land.
But Miss Brown, she used for to smile.
And she said she thought it want worth
while
For human to let their temper Spite,
When Providence wanted to moisten the
sils,
And drip little water on that low, falkland,
And so, while Brown he poked and slumped,
His wife, she want particle stumpt;
And into the weeds this woman she jumped
And all SUMMER longishe fairly bumped
Herself to makea crap on that low, fiat land.
And when the corn gatherin' time came
round,
Instead of the crap all gettn' drowned,
There wuz 6S to the acre on that low, fat

And Brown sed no reckoned as how he found
1t wuz more in the woman than it wuz in

Grating beverage, was subjected
some months ago to careful anal
ysis, and IS found to be richer in
caffeine than the best coffee, while
containing also the same active
principle as cacao. Negroes are
SAID not to touch coffee when
they can obtain this nut. Ii is
said by DIR. Daniel to be growing
into an important article of com
merce in the Soudan, and, it is
thought, will soon find its way
into European countries. Sam
piles have been sent TO London

to planters for agricultural pur-
poses. 1t is believed to aid diges-

Teaching School in Polk Co.

AT the Wrenn school house,
near Kings Valley, on last We'd
nesday, desperate fight occurred
between a teacher and two des-
peradoes, in which the latter came
out second best; The ciTcum-
stances are about as follows, as
learned through DIR. Whitney, Of
Philomath, who attended the
wounded men:
The teacher had whipped a lit
tie boy, step-sUn of a maintained
Ballard, who, it seems, Is II roneh
character. Ballard became en-
ragged about the whipping OF the
boy, and swore vengeance against
the teacher. He had Young son,
who, in company with Adespersdo
named Miner, just out OF the Cal
ifornia penitentiary, armed them
selves with pistols and knives and
a bottle of whisky, and went to
the school house on Wednesday
morning to whip the teacher.
Miner got off his. horse and called
the teacher to the door, and as ne
opened the door Miner struck
him in the face and knocked him
down. As he rose he drew 4
krife and struck Miner III the
throat, cutting it almost from ear
TO ear. This settled Miner, and
Ballard came to the attack with q
pistol. The teacher grappleC
with him and wrested the pisto
from his hand, and then beat hin
over the head with il until he lef
him almost dead. He then dis
missed what school he had left, ,anC
went to Corvallis and sworc ou
warrants for the arrest OF the TIVE
men. The doctor thinks tina
Miner will probably die. Ballard
will perhaps recover Ballard:

THOSE WOMEN FOLK.

Anybody who has led domestic life knows
how common such things as the back
ache, and pains in the chest. are among
the women who DO the work. Often-and
perhaps generally-the distresses are borne
without much complaint. The women get
about, and the machinery Of the house goes
on. Beyond this, those coarse-grained ami
mails whom New England women call "the
men folks" seldom look. so long as their
wives OF daughters are not actually in bed,
under the doctors care, the average thick
skinned husband and father gives the subject
DO attention. At tho same time, the poor
household drudges-who deserve n better fate
