New EnrIand Audirons Are Rare.

Early New England andirons, or fire dogs, of brass or wrought iron were tall affairs ornamented with dogs heads They are seldom seen in New York, al. though they are initiated occasionally in modern wares. A great many excellent antique andirons and fire sets come from the eastern shore of Maryland and from Virginia. The stove drove out the fire place in New England, but the mildeI climate of Maryland and Virginia made the fireplace a permanency there, and ip many old houses in those states the fire irons of three generations ago are in use.
 A New Yorker takes special pride in a fire set from Worcester county on the eastern shore of Maryland. It includes brass headed tongs and shovel, fire block of oak on which they rest when not in use, and brass andirons twenty one inches high and weighing nearly ten pounds saoh. .--Nsw YorA Bun,

Lynchers Spare the Tennessee Rufian'
 Life-He Win Turn States Evidence.
 COAL CREEK. Aug. 23 Bud Lindsay, the notorious desperado, murderer and outlaw and one of the leaGe's of the outlaweo miners, narrowly escaped lynching. He wal confined in an old mine for several dRyt under a heavy guard, but several citizeni managed to stealthily seize, silence and hurry him through the pickets. He wat taken to Briceville, where a rope was placed around his neck.
 Although reported to be a most desperate man, his courage forsook him at this tryins moment, and he broke down and pleaded in abject fear for his lite, offering to turI state's evidence and reveal the names and plans of all the leaders, tell how the mol was raised, the nature of the oath, the miners who we's known to have killed soldiers or guards; Ill short, to reveal to the civil authorities all of the lawlessness that has reigned, and this he has agreed to tes. tify to in court.
 When all this was promised the rope was taken from his neck and he was returned to the camp for safekeeping. It is now be heved that with his testimony twenty or thirty leaders can be successfully tried for murder and covicted. Lindsay is now under a guard.
 Iwenty-three men, supposed to Dc ID sympathy with the most notorious of the miners, were arrested near Coal Creek to- day and locked up. Several of them are suspected of holding up mail train between Clinton and Coal Creek last Thursday night. Among them is Jim Hstmaker, son of John Hatmaker, who led the attack on the stock ade at Oliver Springs last Tuesday. The elder Hatmaker is supposed to have escaped to Kentucky.
 The latest story is that the mines are tc be smoked in order to drive out the miners who are supposed to be in hiding in the bowels of the earth.

LOTAN ON TOP.

The OregonidR expresses its opinion
of Lotan's appointment very forciby,
as follows:
''In the matter of the appointment of
Lotan to the eollectorship, there has
been u species of indireetion and decep-
tion that Is reprehensible, and even
despicable. 1t WAS known here three
weeks before the general election that
he was an applicant for the Office
There were many protests against the
appointment. and the delegation ut
Washington held it off, with a design
of misleading the public into belief
that it would not be made. Then it
was put off again till after the city elee-
tiOn, with the same intent. Finally
the nomination was smnggled into the
senate, no announcement OF il WIS per-
mitted, lest protest might defeat It and
the first thing heard here was that Lo-
tan was nominated and confirmed.
This is Of a piece with the snap jndg-
snents and general methods of ring pol
tiles that have made all the trouble
here. People don't like it; they feel
that they have been deceived or trified
with, and they will bide their time to
show their displeasure. 1t may just us
well be set down for certainty, here
and now, that the republican party of
Oregon can't be carried further On the
old ring basis. This hast proceeding is
going to change ssot a few votes from
Benjamin Harrison to Grover Cleve-
land. The resentment is not confined
to Portland by any means. 1t will be
felt all over the state.p

The OregOaidn is waging war on the
Australian ballot system. 1t strikes US
that the law is a good one, and that the
objection that some people couldn't nn-
derstand the ballot is of no weight. A
citizen that couldn't make out the
ticket he wants from the printed bal
lot Is 1t now is does not deserve to vote.
In fact the idea of the system is to COM
pei the voter to fix his own ticket and
to prevent ward strikers from doing it
for him. II the Oregonian's loud and
persistent demands for fair election
in the south mean anything other than
political clap-trap, TO be consistent it
should be firm friend Of the Austria
lian system.

4 DESIRE FoR CHANGE

The careful observer of 'the political
movements will note the feeling of III
dependence, Of restlessness and of dis
satisfaction with their party, by a large
element of both democrats and republic
cans. IL is not changing Of politics
as regards the old parties, but desire
for something new. This same OBJ
server will find 10y examining into the
causes for this unrest aud desire for
change revival Of portion at least
of the old Know Nothing doctrines.
There is undoubtedly strong and rap
idly growing sentiment In favor OF an
American party. This element be-
lievcs the doors Of Castle Garden should
be closed, aud that immigration should
lie stopped. The time has come when
this should cease to be the asymm for
all the nations of the earth" The aSy-
lum sentiment has outlived Its useful
hess, and 1t Is argued very properly
that those seeking this asylum should
not be entitled to nor expect to con-
duct Its affairs. The protection TO
American labor" theories have set this
element Of independents TO reasoning
that If this is the correct theory it should
b. carried to it's legitimate conclusions,
and that the first step should Ike not to
shut out the products of foreign labor,
but to shut out the foreign labor itself.
This, they say, would protect thu Amer
lean labOrer generally to much greater
degree than all the tariff bills that
anight be enacted Besides, there is
All ever growing sentiment that our
naturalization laws are too liberal, and
that ut least ten years residence in this
country should precede the right to
vote, to locate government lands or to
own real estate, and that none of these
acts could 6e performed except after
being admitted to citizenship. There
IL room for an American party, and
there are people enough to fill it.

OregOn'S First Nursery,


+. W. Allen, in an address before the
State Horticultural Society's meeting
at Grants Pass, gave the following ac-
count of the introduction of the apple
into Oregon:
Among the heroic souls that came TO
Oregon in lS47 was Henderson Luell-
ing, who was then resident of South
western Iowa, and who conceived the
idea of transporting to Oregon nur-
sery on wheels. This idea he proceeded
to put into execution by making two
boxes twelve inches deep and just wide
and long enough to fill the wagon bed;
these he filled with composite of
earth and charcoal, in which he plant
ed several hundred trees and Shrubs;
these were protected from the stock by
II light frame work fastened to the
wagon bed. That load was doubtless,
for many reasons, the most difficult
one to handle that ever crossed the
plains, and yet it has been truly said,
THAT load of trees contained health,
wealth and comfort for the old pioneers
of Oregon and it is doubtless true
that that load of trees and shrubs
brought more wealth to the state than
any ship that ever entered the Column
bia river. 1t was the mother of all our
nurseries, and gave to Oregon a name
and fame she would never have had
without it. These trees were planted
at Milwaukee, six miles south of Port
land, and the sale of fruit and gratis
from them brought wealth to the enter
prising proprietor. The great immigra-
ton to California, caused by the dis
coyery of gold, created a market for
every eatable, and the "Big Red APP
plies" from Oregon were sold at enor-
nous prices to miners and Others.
Many orchards were set out by the
pioneer emigrants, and some of the
trees planted at that early period are
still in vigorous bearing. Fruit culture,
especially the apple, proved very prof
liable, the limited products of those
times selling ut fancy prices
Several persons made small fortunes
from fruit raising, but few adopted it as
an exclusive pursuit. The high prices
then obtained gave great impetus to
the planting of orchards, but when
these came into full bearing, the in
CtCtAoC vi supply niOuSuO pAiCCS uOWHt :
and California being the only market
available, the supply very soon exceed
ed the demand, the result of which was
that general feeling of carclessness
permeated the fruit growers of Oregon,
and but little attention was paid to TAX
ing proper care of the orchard, or the
enormous crops that they produced.
The fruit yield in the Willamette valley
alone has been estimated to average
one million three hundred thousand
bushels per annum since the compile
ton of the three trans-eontinental lines
of railroads that now traverse her fer
tile valleys, bringing as it were the
great fruit markets of the east to our
very door. A new inpetns has been
given to fruit growing, and the near
future bids fair to see Oregon stand
again at the head of the list as the
greatest fruit producing state in the
Union.
