He succeeded Bishop Scott in that field and las labored there for Fl years. But, though Oregon is as large as Pennsylvania and N. Y., he has but 20 clergymen for the field and three of them are aged men. His labor is di- vided into missionary work; educational work, with three schools and the Good Samaritan hospital at Portland. In each field of labor, the bishop is crippled by lack of funds, but he has that hopeful and undaunted spirit which is sure har- binger of success.

Yankee Genius.

The discovery by Pittsburg chem
ist Of new powder which is more
powerful for email arms than any pre-
viously in use, is ar interesting indi-
cation of what the United..States can do
when its attention is turned to pro-
viding the materials for war. The
beauty Of the new powder is that it is
as safe to handle as SO much sugar or
salt. Also, and still mors to the pur-
pose. st. LOUIS shoemaker has in
vented rifle that will shoot ten miles
and as much further as is necessary.
After the bullet starts from the gun a
charge in the rear of tube fastened
to it explodes and on goes the missile
with renewed velocity. These exp1o-
sions are continued by means Of a
series of charges, and the bullet keeps
on going until it hits somebody or
something, and even then keeps buck
ing and putting till all its charges are
exhausted. That is the kind of gun
to invent!

now A LErER LOOKS.
The ChSrags lrper Described by
the herald.


johnson the leper, lies in room off
from the Contagious ward. He is
hideous. His hands and hairless face
are incrusted with scale-like blotches
Of red dish brown. The face shows
most distinctly the ravages Of the hor-
rible disease. The lower lids OF the
eve are drawn down and turned inside
out. The lips are blue, and the nose
is swollen to twice its natural size.
His hack and abdomen are covered
with huge turbercles. These scales
slightly change color from time to time.
There is no known remedy for lep-
rosy. 1t has for all time defed the
efforts of physicians. But one i'm
portant discovery has been made of
late, and that is that the disease is
contagious, and Ia not hereditary, as
generally supposed. The germ of the
disease is known to exist, and animals
have been inoculated afterwards
showing unmistakable signs Of the
malady. Still no cure has been dis
covered, or even remedy to alleviate
the leper's suffering. Leprosy is a
slow disease, and johnson may live
for even fifteen years. There are two
forms OF the disease-viz black lep-
rosy and white leLrosy. In the former
the scales are dark and in the latter
perfectly white. johnson is suffering
from :he former. The leprosy of the
ancient Jews consisted of shinny
smooth blolcl,es on which the hair
turned white and silky. and the skin
and muscular Aesh lost sensibility. 1t
was il e ,rable. 1t was not until about
the year 900 A D., that the ieprosy
app. sred. In time the toes and fingers
drop off, and when the eating process
reached the vitals death ensues.

Was Killed.

On the Rattle Grounds where Caster
Was Killed.
"Custer's battle ground, said II s.
Park, "is one Of the most curious
places / ever visited"
AZ was saying that the battle ground
was peculiar" continued he. ''The
fight. you know, took place in valley
on the Little Big Horn River. Well,
all about that river and fer in the
distance on either side are low, undu-
lating foothills, covered in Summer
with most luxuriant wild grass aud
the greatest variety of wild flowers
possible to imagine. You can find
almost any conceivable color. In the,
distance, Just over the first low hills
from the river, are other hills covered
with some wild pines and shrubs,
characteristic OF the high table lands.
Blending the bright green grass and
m my colored flowers and trees with
the clear sky and the bright running
river, you have scene for a painter.
ut was here that the heroic Custer
fell on June 26, 1876. The points
which got from the Sioux and others
while at Standing Rock were to the
effect that Chief Gal, and not Sitting
Bull, led the attack. As to the Indian
who killed Gen. Custer, it was Rain
in-the- Face. Custer had no sooner
dismounted to engage in the fray than
this chief, who, with his band, was
ambushed in the wild pines, shot him
dead. Then the Indians rushed in on
the troops aud engaged in Wholesale
butchery."
