BIRD SEED FROM MOROCCO.

Bird seed forms considerable item in the
export trade ofsome Of the Moorish ports.
Thus from Laraiche last year in total export
valued at GOO. 7oI the bird seed exported was
valued at $500. and the quantity was 3,4s7
quarters. In 1857 the quantity was 4 oIs
quarters. and the value fS,4I4. The vice
consul at that port states that this teed is never
sown apart by the Moorish farmers, nor Il
any special attention paid 10 its cultivation.
fits sown wi.s wheat, and when reapcd and
threshed it is separated by the country swomen
in sleeves, The reason Of this practice is that
there is general superstition among the Mcors
that in very wet seasons the wheat is in part
converted into bird seed, and hence they sow
the two together. Ofcourse il they were sown
separately the crops would be much more
abundant and the quality better, the soil in
many parts being especially suitable for the
bird seed

DRIVEN TO 1T AT LAST.

Af,er so long a time the OregoniaH come:
to the conclusion that the besi interests OF the
farmers Of this country demand that the duty
on juie should be removed and that article put
on the free list. That papers position in favor
Of free sugar and free ju,e entitleit to be de-
nominated, ,(from its stand point the great free
trade Journal OF the ctaSt. But aside from
this little joculariiy which is too good TO be
lost we are really glad to see that paper take
this litle thor step in the in,eres, Of the farm
es who have TO use jute sacks so extensively
We say short step because there Is duty Of
IS per cent adyalorem on binding twine, and
30 per cent on grain sacks made Of juie hemp
or fax that should be ent rely removed 50 as TO
Tighten the tax burden on farmers and more
nearly equalize that burden between farmers
and the protected classes Of the country. Be
/, understood lha: the farmer should have no
greater advantages under the tariff laws than
any other class but be should have. at least,
equal benefits with other classes. As at pres
ent adjusted the farmers, especially Of the
Pacific coast, have but very little benefit, and
pear largely the burden, Of tariff taxation. For
this reason iwine and grain sacks which have
to be used BY farmers largely should be free
frUm the high rates which they have to pay for
hem. We are glad to see the OregOnias lay
aside the political bias that doth so easily
beset il and come up in so candid way and
ask that even jnte be placed on the free list.

A letter TO the Philadelphia Public |
Ledger from Columbia. S. c., says;
There Is growing belief that the okra
pant has a future. A few days ago a
sample Of okra fibre was sent to the de-
partment OF agriculture. at Washington,
and secretary Rusk, In acknowledging hs
receipt, says that the letters from all parts
Of the South indicate general inclination
to substitute the okra fibre for jste, not
only for bagglng, but for all purposes for
which iuse Is used.
Secretary Rusk is also very anxious TO
know the process Of preparing the fibre.
Now comes w + Sudlow, practical en-
glnecr and maehinis,, with the assertion
that he could produce Il at a ssst not
greater than at one cent pound. He
has built mills In England, Germany,

A short time since our attention wal
attracted to an inquiry in the Louisville
Courier-Journal as to the origin of the
popular phrase,"The Bloody Shirt" The
answer given to the query aseribes 1t 10 the
recent period Of reconstruction. Contrary
to the prevailing belief, this political
weapon was forged and effectively used
long before any differences had arisen be-
tween certain portions of our Union, and
before, in fact, union of states existed.
The incident which gave the expression
birth is to some extent legendary, and Is
related by Sir Walter Scott in the preface
to his novel, "Rob Roy"

The London Hospital says: 'The frs
effect of alcohol on the system is to ac'
celerate the action of the heart, and raise
the temPature of the body about one and
a half degrees. It Is this effect which
makes II valuable In cases Of fainting or
collapse. The secondary effect Is, how
ever,to lower the tempcrature,w which some
times falls two or three degrees below the
normal point of 80 degrees,and the warmth
OF the body cannot be restored as quickly
as IT is lost. Fer this reason drunkards
are more likely to suffer from exposure to
cold than temperate people, and the stu
por of alcohol is apt to pass into the sleep
