THE QUALITY OF THE MAN.

Senator Dolph, of Oregon. in the cur
rent number of the North American Re-
rie,c, warmly praises the administration of
President Harrison, and among other
things. says:
The charge that he IS cold and unsyrn pathetic
was a charge that was made against Washing
ton and other public men.
This charge of GOODNESS has been made
against every American statesman who
was not of magnetic quality like Clay, Gar
field and Blaine. All candid men of
both parties admit that Mr.. Harrison has
proved himself we'll equipped for the presi-
dency measured by his knowledge of pub
lie affairs; they concede he has enforced
only sound ideas Of finance; that his legis-
lative record in the United States Senate
was altogether creditable; that he has
been both pure AMI able in iegis-
lation and administration. This
charge OF ''co.dness' has been made
against John Sherman; i. was made
against President Hayes, who was as non
magnetic as Sherman; il was made AGAINST
John Quincy Adams, very able. upright
legislator and administrator; 1t was made
against Ilden by 1ammany Hall; IL was
made against Webster ali his life: against
Calhoun; against Conkling. Grant. Nor
ton, Washington. Cleveland and Madison.
This charge OF GOODNESS, which really
means that the man IS not tempera.
mentally magnetic, is hardly worthy Of
serious consideration when high public
capacity and unspotted public virtue
have been conceded. A non-magnetic
man is generally of clear and cautions,
vet courageous, quality. Some OF our
best presidents have not been "magnetic"
men, but reserved. and not seldom shy in
manner, IS were Washington and Grant,
or cold without shyness, as were
John Adams, John Quincy Adams.

eral Harrison was the first of the young
married men, who were largely repre-
scented in this call, to volunteer. By Aug
ust 6, 1852, he had his regiment raised
and in the field. Indiana, from
first TO last, sent into the field
137 regiments, seventeen companies
and twenty-six batteries. or a total
of about 1917, 900 men. General Harrison's
regiment was the Seventeen Indiana, and
his term of service included all the hardest
fighting at the West from Perryviile. in
October 1862, to the surrender of Johnston
at Raleigh, n. c., in April, 1865. General
Harrison fought his brigade at Chatta-
nooga, Resaca, Kenesaw Mountain, in
the battles before Atlanta, and at Nash
vile helped General Thomas win his great
victory. 1t is a noteworthy fact that Gem

state. neither of them started after nearly
10000 men had left the state. General
Harrison was in the field from early in
August, 1862, to the end of the war, while
Mcdonald and Voorhees, were both shak-
ing their fists at the flag and cursing it

beginning to the end of the war.

A Monster Bear Trap.

Asinus has on exhibition a monster bear trap.
which IS interesting on account OF It's proper
tons, aud is an old-timer. Billy Clark and his
father, who were then blacksmithing at Olym-
pia, constructed it about twenty five years ago
for an Indian named Mowitch Man, who was
unable to pay the SO contracted for. Clark
afterward loaned it to hunter named Tucker,
who lived at the head of the bay, and there it
has remained until recently, when Asimus
learned of ii and had IL brought to shelton. The
trap is enlarged on the scale OF the common
stee trap, but is nearly five feet long and is al
one man can carry Every par; is made OF heavy
iron and the springs of the best steel, which
makes the cost: the pedal is big enough Tor an
elephants foot. and the trap strong enough TO
lie used III trapping elephants. We have not
learned whether il was ever used.

that frost, succeeded by day or two of very hot
weather, is the cause of the whole thing. The
rains that have fallen during the last few days
have given better prospects, and If the weather

is not anticipated. The fall stands have suf-
