PARIS UNDER GUARD.
Great Excitement Over the French
 Election.
Gen. Boulanger Chosen in Montmartre, But the Prefect Disputes His Return.

A despatch from Paris Sept. P says: Bou- langer is elected by plurality of 22OO over Joffrin, the Radical Socialist, while Thiebaud, his former apostle and friend, now denounced as the Judas of the Boulangist party, only received 1S0 votes. Rochefort received a plurality over the five candidates in his arron- dissement, but it takes majority to elect. It is not expected that the government will take any cognizance of the vote for either Boulan- ger or Rochefort, but the Boulangists claim a victory. nevertheless. Paris is under guard The boulevards are occupied by the military and travel is cut off in the main thoroughfares Cavalry forces from Fontainebleau and Melum are under arms in the streets. Regiments of infantry have possession of every coign of vantage where a mob could possibly obtain a foothold, and 1000 soldiers are awaiting orders in the Palais dIndustrie. It is evident that Paris is not going to be taken by surprise again in case of an upris- ing, and the government is prepared to take most extreme measures to preserve order. At o'clock Sunday morning half the popula- tion was ill the streets, and almost every man and woman were reading newspaper, ex- tras being issued from hour to hour after 10 o'clock. There was much excitement; the BOulangists were shouting victOriOusly :; crowds had gathered about the military cor dons to jeer and admire; orators who had been forbidden to speak on the sidewalks mounted omnibuses and harangued the crowds from above, and occasionally an ac-
 
 in the act.
 The defeat of Minister of the Interior Con- stans at Toulouse is announced, and, though at the ministry itself it is claimed nothing official has been heard from the southern city, there seems probability that Constans has fallen by the wayside. Great joy was oc- l casioned by the news which reached the l boulevards after 1 o'clock from the west of France, to the effect that Jules Ferry had been beaten in the Georges, from which he had been returned for 12 years. Both of these interesting items, however, are not as l reliable as Boulangists would wish them. Absolute facts are few and far between. 1 Out of 57O electoral districts, results have been sent in from 70 only. Out of these, in | 30 cases new elections will have to be held. | In the remaining 40 districts, which have ] been heard from, and in which definite 1 results have been reached, the Boulangist and Conservative candidates are for the most part triumphant. Brittany elects Count Dillon, l the partner in exile of Boulanger and | Rochefort; Angouleme returns De Roulde, @he president of the Patriotic League Laguerre, Laisant and Lalou, trio of mili- tant journalists, are returned in the Paris | delegation. In fact, none of the we'll known members of the Revisionist party have been beaten, but in the case of Naquet, Rochefort and Edouard Nerve there will have to be l another ballot.

Work of the storm,


 The British war ship Lily struck rock off Point Armor, New Foundland, and sank. Seven of her crew were lost. The vessel is a total wreck. Considerable money and valuables went down with her. Nothing whatever was saved.
 The Lily was composite gun vessel of 72O tons burden and S30 horse power, and carried three guns. She belonged to the North America and West Indies station.
 From the manifest found in the cabin of the derelict schooner Henry Clay, picked up by Capt. Lemuel Dodge off Block Island, it is supposed that the captains name is J. w. Anthony, that the crew consisted of only three men and that she was bound from Hoboken to Portland. The bill of lading is dated Sept. 16. No side light was found and the wheel was washed to leeward when boarded. Part of her deck load of pig iron was shifted. It is believed that she listed suddenly when her load shifted, and the crew took at once to the boats. Their only chance is that they have been picked up by some vessel bound west.
 Advices received at Rockland, Me-, report the sinking of two-masted schooner on Roaring Bull Ledge, Isle au Haute. The vessel was seen to strike and roll over as the fog shut down, and a piece of rail washed ashore afterward. Schooner Sarah c. Pyle, Sylvester, was wrecked on Ten Pound Island, Matinicus. The crew left her when they saw she was going on the rocks. The Pyle halls from Gloucester. Schooner Abbie Thaxter, previously reported ashore at Whitehead, has gone to pieces.

There has been an immense increase in the use of oats as an article of diet in the past score of years. It is be- coming an almost indispensable article in many families. And we frequently come across persons who never admir- ed, but still more who have eaten, but become disgusted with it. It is seldom any can be found which can be relish ed at public hotels. The almost uni versal fault is in cooking it too little. Oat meal needs thorough cooking, and when it is not done people become dis gusted with and abandon its use. After a constant use of it for twenty years, scarcely doing without it for single breakfast when at home, where it was to be had cooked thoroughly, frequent ly visitors at our table first decline to take it, but after being urged find it very palatable, and want to know where such oat meal can be had. They had never tasted any like it. Oat meal should be cooked at least one hour.

Prof. Patrick of the Iowa, Agricul- tural Experimental Station, has dis covered cheap, easy, simple and val uable process by which to test the per cent of butter fat in milk. At the State Fair, it was by his test, added by other scientific men, that the con- test was settled between the cows which were contesting for the premi- um. We saw Prof. Patrick go through the whole process, and it was done in a few minutes, and to the satisfaction of all close and scientific observers. It certainly is the true way. But the richness of the milk should not and probably was not the exclusive evi- dence of the superiority of the COW for milk and butter. The per cent of the butter fat in the milk of the various contestants should be multiplied by the quantity each COW gives in cer- tain time. Prof. Patrick's test is des- tined to greatly simplify and render exact the settlement of this question.

The clematis, next to the rose. bids fair to become the popular Towering plant of the day. It is entirely hardy, a rapid climber and most profuse bloomer. The colors embrace the most beautiful tints, purple, lavender, scar let and white, some of the flowers in the larger blooming varieties being quite six inches or more in diameter, and very showy. With careful train- ing strong plant will attain to a con- siderable height the first season, often covering an entire frame or trellis, and whether trained over lattice work or pillars or left trailing upon the ground, their large, star-shaped flowers are produced in the greatest numbers from the last of May to October. Old rockbeds are capital place for this rapid climber, and several varieties planted together and clambering over the rough surface of the rocky heap will soon turn it into a gorgeous mass of rich bloom.

tion. In the maelstroms of the street, how many make quick and eternal shipwreck. If man-of.war comes back from battle, and Is lowed into the navy yard, we go down to look at the splintered spars and count the bullet holes, and look with patriotic admira- ton on the flag that floated in victory from the masthead. But that man is more of curiosity who has gone through thirty years of the snarp-snooting or business life, and yet sails on, victor over the temptations of the street. Oh! how many have gone down under the pressure leaving not 90 much as the patch of canvas to tell where they perished. They never had any peace. Their dishonesties kept tolling in their ears. If had an axe, and could split open the beams of that fine house, perhaps I would find in the very heart of it a skeleton. In his very best wine there is a smack of the poor mans sweat. Oh! is it strange that when man has devoured widows houses, be IS disturbed with indigestion? All the forces of natNre are against him. The floods are ready to drown him, and the fires to con- sume him, and the hghtnings to smite him. But the children of God are on every street, and in the day when the crowns of heaven are distributed, some of the brightest will be given to those men who were faithful to God and faithful to the souls of others amid the marts of business, proving themselves the heroes of the street. Mighty were their temptations, mighty was their deliverance, and mighty shall be their triumph.
 Again, the street impresses me with the fact that life is full of pretentions and sham. What subterfuge, what double dealing, what twofacedness! Do all the people who wish you good morning really hope for you hap py day9 Do all the people who shake hands love each other? Are all those anxious about your health who inquire concerning fte Do all want to see you who ask you to call? Does all the world know half as much as it pretends to know? Is there not many . wrecked stock of goods with brillian, show window? Passing up and down these you not impressed with the fact that much of society is hollow, and that there are sub terfuges and pretentions? Oh! how many there are who swagger and strut. and how hw people who are natural and walk While fops simper, and fools chuckle, and slnplstons gigyie, how few people are natur

 Our people have never been charac- terized by the provinciality that pre- vents one country from learning by the experience of another. Therefore it it is wise to know what other nations are doing in this regard. Russia knows the value of the forest, and in sections where trees are sparse, forbids the use of wood for fuel on railroads and steamboats. France and Germany have we'll organized forestry depart ments, and the expense attached to op- erating them is considered a wise gov ernmental economy. It is reported that British India has forestry de- partment of great value. The expense of operating this department for Low CT Burmah for 1888 was $516,S45, from which the government received net income of $593 ,345. This money was expended for surveys, protection from fire, supervision of the losses, etc.
 The sum allowed by the United States for the conduct of our forestry department is $75, 1000 per annum. It can be fairly estimated that to build our present railroad system more than 1O0, ,OO0, ,O00 acres, or one-fifth of our present forest area, were stripped dur ing the last fifty years, and the next fifty will very likely call for more than double that amount, and it is quite true that the annual consumption of the for ests equal twice the amount of material supplied by annual growth.

An Arctic Horror.

Stockton of the United States steamer Thetls to the n.., Navy Department concerning the loss Ocean. The report is dated off St. Michaels, July s, 1889, and incloses a letter from John Kelley, an employe at the whaling station at Point Hope, on the American coast of the Arctic Ocean, and gives facts never before made public.
 The letter states that October opened with the temperature of the air from 1O' to 22', and the land was white with snow. Just before the blizzard began, the Ohio was off Cape Lisburne, the land being plainly in sight The massive lifting her up and throwing her closer in, the spray leaping clear over the lower yards. Capt. Allen had ordered the mast cut away, but a man could not stand anywhere without holding on with one or both hands. A few men went up the mainmast and several up the mizzen. The house fell in, trapping the men underneath, and then the ship broke in to three parts about the mizZen, and with the exception of part of the bow the little Ohio disappeared. Thirteen men were carried ashore by the waves, almost miraculously, through flying debris, and three men came down on dry land from the mainmast when it went over.
 The men sought shelter with the natives, who agreed to care for them until ship would take them off. Two flags were set, union down, to attract passing ships. Capt. Bayne, at the whaling station, let the men have whale boat and all the clothing and blankets he had Ship after ship passed with out noticing the colors. October 12 the steamer Belvedere passed twelve miles out. Seven men took the whaleboat and tried to intercept her, but were never heard of again |; the boat was probably swamped. Capt. Bayne moved his stores outside, took the men into the station and clothed and fed them as well as his resources would permit. Six were taken away on the William Lewis on July 1 and three others by United States steamer Thetis July 1.

rnE MIDLAND PACIFIC.


In May last the associated press dis
patches conveyed the news that a party
Of engineers Of the Illinois Central rail-
road, one Of the richest railway corpora
tons 10 existence, had left Sioux Falls,
Dakota, the present terminus Of that
road, to find q feasible route to the Sound.
These same engineers, who have been on
the road for over four months, arrived in
North Yakima Monday. The head Of
the party was Geo. NJ. Nix, who Is the
general MANAGER Of the Midland Pacific
r. R. Co., hut the Midland Pacific is the
annex Of the Illinois Central and the
same directors and principal stockhold-
ers are in both corporations. Mr.. Nix,
with his chi' { engineer, Chas. A. DewaT,
and party left Sioux city early In May and
travelled westerly up the Lugenbee river,
thence through the Big Horn and Wind
river mountains, thence across the Rocky
mountains and down the Salmon and
Snake rivers to Lewiston. From Lewis
ton down the Snake to PaIouse, crossing
the Northern Pacific at Palouse Junction,
thence almost due west via Crab Creek
coulee, crossing the Columbia river at
Priests rapids, and through the Mckee
coulee to North Yakima. Mr.. Nix says
that the line Is not only feasible one
but the grades are economic, q splendid
country untapped by railroads Is drained,
and that fewer difficulties are encountered
on this route than have been surmOunted
by the other transcontinental roads.
There was q topographer with the party
and barnetric observations and notes
have been made throughout the whole
line, which, It Is claimed, Is so miles
shorter from Chicago to Puget Sound
than the Northern Pacific. The party,
after being reprovisioned here, left on the
following day for the Sound via the
Natcheez pass. Previous to leaving Mr..
Nix said that II the balance Of the coun-
try to he traversed presented no greater
obstacles than already encountered en-.
cheering parties would be in the field as
early as March Of next year permanently
locating the road.

September I6,h.
Mr.. Clifton Clemans, a half-brother Of
John Clemans', and one Of the nine heirs
Of the estate Of his father, requests that
the mis-statements made III the above
paragraph be corrected. In the first
place, the will bequeathing the entire es-
tate to John Clemans was never signed,
and was burned by him because It would
be useless to attempt to get it recognized
by the probate court.
In the next place, John Clemans had
cattle and horses in which the father was
interested, having furnished the money
for their purchase, and these were never
accounted for in the settlement.
In the third place, John ClenIans was
appointed administrator without the
sanction Of all the heirs and In his settle
ment he paid Clifton Clemans exactly
81 ,l65, or One-ninth Of $lO,4S5.
Although Mr.. Clifton Clemans claims
the estate was valued at nearer $50, 900
than $4,000, by placing 1t at the lesser
figure, the question will then arise, that
II Mr.. John Clemans is ahead Of none Of
the other heirs, as claimed in the Oregon

ance Of the estate, estimated at t32,5l5?
