rho Bible Of the nuddhi....


The bible OF the sect is not without
beauty and high moral as well as poetic
conceptions. There is much in it of the
nature of mythology and mysticism,
which Bnddhists do not pretend to un-
derstand themselves, yet there is much
to admire. From book of extracts and
translations from the Buddhist bible !
give few examples:
'The perfect man is like the lily, un
soiled by the mud in which it grows.
Another: 1.-THE perfect man will not be
angry with him who brings him evil re-
ports OF himself, lest he be not able to
judge truthfully of the matter whereof
he is accused It's moral code contains
such rules as do not steal;s ,sDo not
ie;" t.Do not KILL" ssDo not be a drunk
ard tDo not to another what you
would not wish done to yourself. -
From these examples it may be observed
how nearly their moral law runs parallel
with our own; and that this has exerted
a potent influence in forming the Chi
nese character is evident Also, that
they cover the cardinal rules of right
living in good society none will question.
: The system offers motives in the way
of rewards for right living and punish
ments of evil doing. It develops symp-
sthy, the source of many virtues. 1t
teaches the equality of all men. One
man is better or worse than, another
only as he observes the laws OF good So
ciety or breaks them.-W. G. Benton in

PORTLAND AWAKE.

A few days ago we called the attention
of our readers to the fact that the events
that are rapidly crowding each other,
all go to prove that fate asinevitably
linked the fortunes of Portland, with
that of the Inland Empire, and that her
commercial supremacy depends upon an
open river to the sea. 1t affords us,
therefore peculiar pleasure to learn that
on last Monday evening, the Chamber
of Commerce of the city of Portland
passed the following resolution, which
undoubtedly proves, that Portland is
beginning to fully realize the truth of
our remarks:
last session, failed to pass any law that
would insure the opening of the Column
bia river from Cello to The Dalles; and
WHEREAS, Believing it to be of para
mount interest, not only to the retention
of the commercial supremacy of Port
land as the metropolis of the state, but
to the interest of the entire state of
Oregon as well, and of equal interest to
those sections of Washington and Idaho
that border upon tho great waterway of
the Columbia and Snake rivers; there
fore, be it
ResolUed, That special committee of
twelve, including the chairman, be ap-
pointed for the purpose of consultation
and conference with the representatives
of those sections of the state which would
be most quickly and permanently bene-
fitted by the opening of the river, with
the object of ascertaining if some method
cannot be devised for the speedy and
permanent opening of the river traffic of
the Columbia and its tributary streams.
The resolution was unanimously adop-

Tho Earth.s Age.

The age of the earth is estimated from
the increment in the temperature as we
penetrate its crust. The rate at which
the earth cools can only be determined
by making use of data confessedly i'm
perfect; but from these Sir William
Thompson finds that 1OO, ,000, 600 or 200,
900, 600 years ago it first began to be
crusted over by solid film of rocks;
that 10000, 900 years afterward it was
still so hot that the temperature in
creased 2 degs- Fahrenheit for every foot
vertically descended below the zone of
constant temperature. The present rate
of increase averages about Isl of de-
gree for every foot.-St. Louis Republic.

When Opera Goers Ought to Eat.

A musical director now in the city
has another idea besides music
Complaint is made" says he, that
people who come to the opera are nerv-
GUS and fidgety and do not respond to
the efforts to please. Is it any wonder7
The and o'clock dinners are the cause.
Our best people who go to make up the
coloring of the audience dine late, and
as rule they fill in regardless of the
laws governing health, and come to the
opera-shan speak plainly7-with
enough rich food in them to make them
stupid and unappreciative. My advice
would be to eat sparingly just before
the opera The good effects from the
music would assist in the digestion of q
good dinner taken as late as midnight.
My notion will probably not agree with
that of your physician. Be it SO. ! am
talking from point which interests me,

DISAPPOINTED HOPES.

1t is with no intention in the world OF
digging up the ''shillelagh, so to speak,
which we quietly, fnot. tearfully buried,
a few days ago, that we refer to prom
Use made in Tuesdays es-Mountaineer
to the effect that the Hon. E. o. Mccoy
was going to definitely settle, in the
next issue of that paper, the fact that
the bill reported from the house COM
mittee on railways and transportation
instead of the Raley bill, was the result
of the conference of the joint committee
of the Oregon and Washington legisla-
lures, and was in fact their report on the
matter, endorsed by each and every mem
Der, and that this was a fact ''as the
report of the committee will show" 1t
is no exaggeration to say that we waited
the coming of this communication with
almost breathless interest. Just how it
was going to remove the stigma of hav-
ing betrayed his constituents from Mr..
Mccoy, we could not guess. In what
manner this gentleman was going to
justify himself, by proving that others
were ''as deep in the mud as he was in
the mire," we could not divine. By
what species of casuistry he was going to
prove that an accessory to crime was
innocent, while the principals alone
were guilty, we could not even guess.
But he was going to do it. The Times
Mountdineer said so on his behalf. And
we believed it. The time of going to
press had arrived. The grand old pre-
server of the art preservative creaked on
ats rheumatic framework, big with the
mighty throes of parturition. Anon the
Times-M Mountaineer was born. The news
boy hurriedly started on his evening
round. We met him. A big bright
nickle, the fruit of honest industry, was
exchanged. We scanned the paper
eagerly. There was nothing in it !
not even an apology. Nothing that
could have the most remote connection
with what we had been promised, ex-
cepting only, it may be, a communica-
tion away down at the bottom of the
editorial column, about a certain salve,
warranted to cure corns, at twenty
i've cent box, or money refunded.
The CHRONICLE hopes to live to see this
promised communication. We want to
see it, and want to see it badly; but we
warn Mr.. Mccoy that his bare assertion
that 'each and every member of the
committee" signed the report, that was
salsed so effectually to defeat the Raley
bill, will not satisfy one who heard, with
his own ears, Senator Watkins, when he
Twas desired to sign such report, exclaim,
>''I'll be id if do it, for if such report
should defeat the bill they'll blame me
for it." One thing more, it is only a
question, and we are done. If, as the
Times-Mountaineer alleges, ON Mr.. Nc
Coy's behalf, the infamous measure that
defeated the Raley bill was concocted by
the joint committee, who concocted the
speech, that Mr.. Mccoy delivered on the
floor of the house, in the presence of a
hundred witnesses, in its defense?

Who shall he the republican nominee
