THE RAIN-STORM.

The rain-storm, which began with but a
smart shower on Saturday last and appa-
rently eliminated in a heavy downpour
Wednesday night, was remarked upon by
the great mass Of people as unprecedented.
But it is not In the middle of June, 1879,
we had a storm, when 10 inches Of rain
fel-about as much as fell here up to last
highland great damage was done to agri-
cultural interests. History repeats itself.
An editorial in the RECORD NIoN Of Mon
day, June IA, 1873, contained expressions
which fit closely to the present situation,
and their reproduction, even to the naming
of the day of the week on which the rain
began to fall, answers completely for the
present occasion At that time we said
"The rain-storm, which set in on Satur-
day night and which continued through
cut the greater part of yesterday, marks a
new departure in meteorological phenOm-
ena in this State and one which farmers
will not appreciate highly. 1t is, indeed,
to be feared that the rain has been pro-
duCuNe Oh very SERIOUS INJURY, DOth 10 lIle
grain crops and feed, throughout the State
a heavy rain felt at this time Of the year
is alike unreasonable and calamitous. Such
a storm in the middle of June has not
occurred for many years in fact, we can
not recall its parallel. The storm appears
to have been widespread in its range, and
if it was as heavy everywhere as in the
neighborhood of Sacramento, it is to be
apprehendcd that it will exercise a detri-
mental effect upon the general outcome o.
the years agricultural operations

Adyices from Portland.

PORTLAND June 12th.-Yesterday a heavy
water spout occurred on one of the tributaries
of Burnt river, Baker county, oregon. The
water uprooted trees, and carried immense bowl
ders long distance. The only actual damage
done was the drowning of 800 head of sheep.
In portions of western Washington Territory
the cherry crop this season is reported almost a
total failure. Blight has struck the trees and
caused the fruit 10 fall off before reaching ma
turity. Lack of rain also had the effect To pre-
vent full growth. The crop would have been
p per cent. greater had not these causes inter
yened.
The schooner Queen, of the seal fleet. has Just
arrived from Cape Flattery. where she has been
engaged i'll fishing for some months The vessel
reports the catch double that OF last year, and
fully as great as that OF three years ago. The
season opened very early this year, and the
seals were plentiful. They came in during Jan
uary. and left for their breeding grounds in the
north about the lSt of June. Two San Francisco
schooners followed the seals on their north,
ward journey.
Yesterday two Indians, living near Port
Blakeley. W. T.. engaged in a savage fight with
knives. during the course of which both were
very dangerously stabbed. The condition Of
both is very critical.

The committee of nine on the celebration of
the Fourth of July in Sacramento can do better
and far more satisfactory work than the usual
cumbrous committees of fifty, that are beSet by
special interests and ruled by a chance vote at
large or small meetings Let the committee of
nine consider fully the proposition for literary
exercises by day and grand parade with
torches and a street and house illumination by
night instead of the usual fireworks. We are
clear that the illumination and night parade
will be far more attractive and satisfactory than
a day parade under the hot sun.

SENATOR MITCHELL testimony commendS Mr.
Blaine warmly to all civil service reformers. He
says Mr Blaine. as early as 1872, expressed him
self to him in the strongest terms in favor OF
laws regulating appointments to Office. The Sen
ator was then one of the Civil Service Commit
tee and felt deep interest in the subject At
that date not more than five Senators could have
been found who would have supported a civil
service law such as we now have. When, in
1876, the Republican party awakened to the
necessity Of such u law, he found Mr.. Blaine far
in advance ofthe great majority of the Senators
in favor of the reform of the civil service.

Mr.. BLAINE's AccEpTANcE.-The
press comments, on Blsine's letter of
acceptance vary according TO the pol
itics Of the papers, the republicans
contending that it is most able pro-
duction and the democrats and indie
pendents holding that it is weak.
We give below the comments Of the
N. Y. dailies. The Times (rep.) char
acterizes the letter as flour columns
Of safe and stale platitudes," and de-
clares that at gives evidence Of a
worn body and weary mind" 1t
ridicules his disquisition on the tariff,
and adds: ITO the farmers this un-
tutored apostle in political economy
for the campaign only-says: Be con-
tent with the home market. It be-
comes increasingly important to you
because Of the competition from the
grain fields Of Russia and the distant
plains of India. That is to say: You
now sell in the home market $50, 000,-
600 bushels out of the 500,000,000
bushels of wheat you annually raise.
Make the home market take the other
150, 100000 bushels, and you may
snap your fingers at effete Europe.
We commend this problem to the at
tention of thoughtful farmers" Her
aid, (ind.) ut is monstrously long
winded letter and will prove we'll
spring Of pleasure, into which writers
and speakers against Mr.. Blaine can
dip increasingly without ever failing
to bring up bucketfuls Of good reasons
why he should not be elected to the
presidency" World, (dem.) "Mr.
Blaine's letter might more properly
be called letter Of evasion than a
letter of acceptance" Sun, (ind.
dem. "Mr. Blaine wants to divert at
tention from the question Of his per-
sonal fitness to be President Of the
United States, but he cannot be ac-
commodated." Tribune, (rep.) "This
letter places Mr.. Blaine before his
countrymen the foremost man Of the
time. 1t reaches and passes the high
water mark Of American statesman
ship"
