GREAT ADVANTAGES.

\ decided advantage Marion coun-
ty has over many others is the di-
versitied farming interest that can
be carried ON throught the entire
year; Notwithstanding this is a wei
climate during the winter months
the uplands are seldom too wet L.
work, and long before the prairi,
farmers are through with their seed
ing, the hill farmer is preparing fOI
his summer work. And Yet th1
low lands are much preferred by
many; the yield per acre is generally
greater, and perhaps less labor is IT
quired to place the soil in proper
condition for crops; and then should
the season prove dry, the bottom
lands are sure TO bring the best
crops. No better farming land can
be found i'm the United States than
that ON the noted Howell prairie.
French prairie, Santiam prairie and
salem prairie. The soil of these arr
wonderfully productive, With good
cultivation, forty bushels of wheat
and sixty of oats per acre can he
readily secured.

A Claim for Justice.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: want to say
a few words about the present method of set
Ting adjudicated claims by the Treasury De-
partment in favor of old soldiers, their widows
and heirs. Under recent acts, adjudicated
claims must rest in the Treasury Department
until the Secretary of the Treasury sends his
special annual message specifying each claim.
That message is referred then to the Commit
tee on Appropriations, and when that commit
tee acts it is placed on the Sundry Civil Bill,
which is never sure of passage. Last year sew
eral thousand such claims were lost to the
claimants because the bill failed of passage in
the last hour before adjournment. | am no
statesman, but believe that something should
be done TO improve these methods and that
corrections should be made to forbid future in
justice of this kind to persons to whom these
claims are justly due.-A. P. ALEXANDER, Ma

HANDICAPPED FARMERS.

Those farmers who are limited in means at
their command, and are thereby prevented
from the purchase and use of improved imple-
ments are to certain extent handicapped, be-
cause the same reason that prevents the pur-
chase Of implements would also prevent the
hiring of additional labor, and therefore indi-
vidual efforts must be relied upon. But there
is one advantage that is secured, and that is a
better cultivation of less surface. Use of
labor saving implements and machines tends
to moro careless mode of culture, which is
always to be deprecated.

Taken for 4 Matter.

In reading few days ago of the ruinous
condition Of the old palace at Versailles re-
called curious incident that occurred TO me
at the grand ball given there some ten years
ago, the last time it was opened for public
occasion. You will remember that the re-
publican government has neglected the place
until now it is said to be unsafe. The last
great ball given there drew an enormous
throng of some Il, 600 people, and every ce-
lebrity then in Paris was present. 1t was
ostensibly open only to invitation, but the
usual means Of entering state ball obtained
admittance I was in Paris at the time, and
in company with two companions went to
the palace. By judiciously feeling the door
keepers we were readily admitted
Once within the great palace we were bewil-
dered, and did not know which way TO go.
Everybody was in the regulation evening
dress, and the horde OF paid attendants could
not be distinguished from the guests In
pushing from one room to another, looking
for the coat room, I fell upon weazened,
small man, whom took TO be an attendant.
He was standing in the room taking in the
crowd, and supposed he was there TO servo
the guests. Walking up to him, asked,
briskly, which was the way to the dressing

The original of the character Of "Jocko,
the Brazilian Ape" was Henry Leech, an
Englishran, whose professional name was
Otto Motif His body was Of the size Of an
ordinary mans, but his legs were only foot
long, yet such was his agility that he could
outrun, on all fours, very fair runner His
skeleton is in Mime. Tussaud's exhibition in
London. The Ravels afterward introduced
the character in their pantomimes, but it
was left to Majilton to bring it to perfection.
He had wonderful strength in his hands and
could walk with his hands hanging under an
ordinary foor joist, his whole weight de-
pending upon the grip between his thumbs
and their opposing fingers with perfect
ease; and he occasionally astonished

Guilty made him an expert climber, and he
would run up and down the interior of the
circus and leap the rail of the tiers and run
along them with an agility that no ape could
excel He fairly rolled with laughter when
he told how he frightened the colored people
on the Mississippi.
On one occasion, when he 1eaped among
them, chattering and grinacing, many
jumped in their fright through the windows
of the circus into the river and were rescued

said Spalding afterward, ''or we'n have dead
niggers to pay for" In December, 1854,
while playing in Charleston, he created al
most panic in the theater. One of the
scrub women was stationed in the third tier
with a stuffed baby, and Majilton, in his
Jocko act, snatched it from her and, jump
ing to the side of the proscenium boxes, beat
its head against the wood and then threw it
to the stage and jumped on it, the woman
yelling all the while and the audience in ter
