Some Funny Facts.
Albany Democrat.

Here are few facts that show up the
present fraudulent system of assessment in
good style. According to the rolls COM
piled and. on file in the office of the secre-
tary of state. Umatilla county is assessed
$3.50, 600 more than Multnomah county on
money, notes. accounts, ETC., and yet Multi
nomah county claims 1880. 900 more in
debtedness than Umatilla county. Isn't
that wholesale robbery! Another case:
Union countys money, etc., are assessed at
Sl40 600 more than that of Marion county,
and the indebtedness Of the latter is $780,
600 more than that of the former. The in
debtedness of Linn county is three times as
much as the total of money, notes and ac-
counts. Multnomah county's assessment on
money, notes and accounts last year was
81, 722. $40, and yet in the face Of that it is
claimed that real estate transactions OF
Portland. with population of 10000,
amounted to $4,000. 600 during 1889; her
manufacturing output $4,000. 900; that
S63, 600, 600 is INVESTED in wholesale and re-
tail trade, not including banks, and the last
statement Of her ten principal banks shows
a capital of Sc, $50. 900. with surplus and
undivided profits amounting to $685.
75O32, or total bank capital in those ten
principal banks of SS.5lS,750.32. These
figures are all astonishing, and it is not to
be. wondered at that well known Albany
man few days ago should state that he
couldn't couscicntiously take the oath to
make an assessment under the present sys-
ten, which is injustice itself.
A Duel Between intellectual Giants.
The January number of the Nort& Ameri-
can Rev;e,c will be rendered memorable by
one of the most brilliant features which
have ever appeared in an American periodi-
cal. This is discussion between the 1t.
Hon. W. E. Gladstone and Hon. j. G.
Blaine on the Tariff, Mr.. Gladstone advo.
eating free trade and Mr.. Blaine protection.
Whatever can be said on cne side and tho
other on this subject will be said in these
articles in the most telling and impressive
way by these two great masters of contro-
versy. Mr.. Gladstone's article will occupy
between twenty and thirty pages of the Re
vie,c, and Mr.. Blaine's reply will be about
the same length. if not longer. 1t will be
battle of intellectual giants.
The articles will be lnblished simulta-
nsously, by Mr. Gladstone's consent, and.
as they take up SO much space. this issue Of
the Reuiew will be enlarged to admit Of the
usual number and variety of papers on i'm
portant and timely topics.

1t is whispered by some that Rev. A.
Eads, Of this town, would be a suitable
candidate for joint senator. We do not
know how the whisper suits the majority or
whether the wishes of the prospective can.
didate has been consulted In the matter,
but do know that Mr.. Eads was an aspirant
for senatorial honors in 1874 and was de.
teated because he had written poetry. His
poem was said to have been good, but poets
did not stand high in the estimation of vot-
ers that year. Bro. Eads has not, to any
ones knowledge, written poetry since 1878,
and if he should run for odics this year
past offences might be forgotten.

1t is said that there is a rule in each of

ever the cost Of running the house, the
same amount in each instance is given to
the poor. A book Of expenses for this
purpose is kept and in it are recorded all
Of the household expenses, including even
the hire of servants and the cost Of boxes
at the opera. So that whenever the ex-

no less than thirty servants, while the

From what l have observed, and what
l have heard, am induced to infer that
the fear Of death is not common, and that
where it exists it proceeds rather from
diseased and enfeebled mind than from
any principle in our nature. Certain it
is that among the poor the approach OF
dissolution is usually regarded with a
quiet and natural composure which it is
consolatory to contemplate, and which is
as far removed from the dead palsy Of
unbelief as it from the delerious raptures
of fanaticsm. Theirs is q true, unhesi-
tating faith, and they are willing to lay
down the burden Of weary life, ''in the
sure and certain hope" of blessed immor.
tally. This is the first heavy loss which
you have over experience; hereafter
the bitterness of the cup will have passed
away aud you will then perceive its
wholesomeness. This world is all to us
till we suffer some such loss, and every
such loss is transfer of so much of our
hearts hopes to the next; and they who
live long enough to see most of their
friends go before them feel thatithey have
more to recover by death than to lose by
it. This is not the mere speculation of a
mind at ease. Almost all who were
about me in my childhood have been re-.
moved. have brothers, sisters, friends,
father, mother and child, in another
state Of existence; and assurdely l regard
death with very different feelings from
what should do ii none OF my affections
were fixed beyond the grave. To dwell
upon the circumstances which, in this
case, lessen tho evil Of separation would
idle; at present you acknowledge and in
time you will feel them. Robert Southy.

Deep Mining.

The mine at st. Andre du Poirer,
France, yearly produces 100000 tons of
coal. The mine is worked with two
shafts. one 1852 feet deep and the other
3,0S3 feet. The latter shaft is now
being deepened. and will soon touch the
1900 foot level. A remarkable feature
Of this deep mine is the comparatively low
temperature experienced, which seldom
rises above rs deg. Fair. In the gold
and silver mines Of the Pacific coast, at q
depth of less than half that Of the French
coal mine, much difficulty is experienced
in keeping the temperature low enough
to admit Of working. In some levels Of
the Comstock lode the temperature rises
a. high as 100 deg. Fahr.--Scientitic
