PROVERBS ABOUT TREES.

Beautiful Thoughts Finely Expressed by
the Eloquent Hindoos.
Many arc the proverbs relating to
trees which are to be heard i'll India.
Among the proverbs that speak of the
banyan, there is one which says, Gas tho
banyan, SO are it's hanging shoots; as the
father. so the son. This probably
means that if the tree be in good soil
and we'll nourished it will be strong
and thriving; so will its shoots. just
SO the fathers health and character will
be reflected in his son. Tales of brin
jals growing ON banyan tree is an ex-
preston equivalent to travellers tales
"a gentle hit that the narrator is draw
ing the long bow. The nimb (Azadi.
rachita indica) recalls a saying the ap-
propriateness of which can be under
stood by those who know its thick
shade, and who know also what the
burning heat Of tropical sun is, "a
mothers love is like the shade Of the
nimb tree. -
It is beautiful thing, this Hindoo
mothers love- seldom, if ever, absent,
and carried often even to such excess
that it becomes weakness. 1t is so deep
and true that it cannot understandable
action is altogether beyond its compre-
hension-that a mother could part with
her young children for them to be edu-
Gated i'll another country. The wild fig
tree is said not to flower at all, yet peo
pie believe that it really does so, only
it is at night, and then but for min
ute or two, although if procured it is
marvelously beneficial; hence it comes
to be applied to visit from friend
after long absence-a great rarity.
Another form of it is, ''To meet with
the flower of the wild fig and to meet
you are alike There is a descrip-
ton of laziness than which it would be
difficult to find anything more explicit,
''To die from starvation beneath a ripe
fig tree"
The teak tree (Tectona grandis) is
the one tree of all others in India that is
useful and Indispensable. 1t is not, there
fore, surprising to find this belief ex-
pressed as follows: "Among trees there
is only one-the teak. The rest are old
women" The same truth is expressed
in different way, "Wood of the teak
and the child of king" But these are
the very best of their kind; as is the i'm
portance and rank Of prince among
subjects, so is the quality of the teak
among trees Two sayings relating to
the mango (Mangifera indica) may be
given: s'Let us throw stone i'll the
mango tree and see. If it hit it will hit,
If it doesn't, it WON'T" 1t is the equiva
lent of ''having a shot, at thing
trying to get something out of good
and benevolent man. If it succeed, well.
If not, then there is nothing lost

Testimony of Finger Prints.


When finger or finger print is
closely examined under lens of only
moderate power, it is seen to abound in
minute peculiarities. These are caused
by the branchings of some of the ridges,
the sudden appearance of new ones, the
formation of rings, or Ovals, like eye
lets, and the abrupt stoppage of ridges
without any apparent cause.
1t is in these countless little peculiari-
ties even more than in the general char.
acter Of the pattern that the value
Of finger prints as proof of identity
lies, for these appearances, however
minute, do not change in the smallest
particular dnring life. A pattern may
be traced on the fingers of the babe
when born; it will be found the same
on those fingers when he has grown to
manhood and may be imprinted from
the fingers of the dead without change
in the smallest point, though hundred
years should intervene between birth
and death.
The pattern grows together with the
finger. Its proportions vary with fat
ness or leanness. They may be further
affected by wear, gout or age. But
such changes appear in the pattern as
whole, never in the form of .correla-
tion of it's constituent parts. The pat
tern may become altered in length or
breadth by hard wear of a peculiar kind,
but the number of ridges that concur in
forming the pattern, their -lembranch-
ments, their archings, loops and other
minute characteristics, are not subject
to change. They are indestructible as
the fnger-All the Year Round.
Young Supreme Court E...~ySis.
Chief Justice Fuller was speaking,
the other day of the large number Of
brilliant young lawyers that were ap'
pearing before the supreme court OF
late. 1t was formerly the rule to in.
trust supreme court cases to veterans,
and until recently men under so years
of age were very seldom se9n at that
bar. Younger men might prepare the
briefs, but old men We're called in to
present them. But Of late the younger
generation of lawyers are arguing their
own cases, and Justice Fuller thinks
there are more brilliant youngsters at
the bar of the United States than in any
other country of the world.-Chicago

Thousands Coming.

ElItor Hofer. Of the Salem Journal. who
recently returned from the middle west.
speaks In the following emphatic manner:
''The press OF the state is speaking quite
freely Of the growing tide of immigration
from the east to Oregon. The forerunners
of an army of several hundred thousand
people are now arriving on every train. The
hundreds of thousands undoubtedly are to
come in the next two years. No one can
doubt the population Of the Willamette
valley will double within Eve years and con-
tam a round half million Of people.
'.Ths Journal speaks from positive
knowledge when it says Thousands of fami-
lies 10 the DAkotas, IJwa, Minnesota, Ne.
brasks, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas will
come to Western Oregon in the next six
months. These states haYe all been afflicted
more or less with drouth. shcrt crops and
lntolerable suffering from hot weather the
past year. In some Of them vast areas were
literally burnt up by the beat and drouth,
causing great suffering, destitution and de-

County In.tituta.

The county teachers institute convenes
Wednesday evening, the 18th inst, and
continues in session until the Saturday fol-
lowing. There will be three evening ses-
sions, each well worth attending. Presi-
dent Chapman, of Eugene university, Is to
lecture Thursday evening and State Super
intendent McElroy Friday evening. Both
these sessions are to be held in the opera
house, and q crowded house is expected.
There are also many other interesting items
on the programme. The cantata on Friday
evening rendered by forty children, repre-
sentiLg the different nations in costume, is
fine entertainment. Besides this the
school book question is to be discussed on
Wednesday eveaiDg in the court house. and
lively interest in the subject is expected,
as the vote on the text books is soon to be
taken which decides them for the next six
years. The day sessions will be held in the
Court street school building. and will con-
sist Of interesting papers and discussions OF
the many phases Of school work. ALI the
meetings are free, aud the public Is cordi-
ally invited. The people of The Dalles
and surrounding country should attend and
show the interest in education which all of
Us, at least, ought to have.

Nez Peroe Indians.

One of the most powerful tribe of Indians
in the northwest was formerly the Nez
Perces of Northern Idaho. They we're well
developed physically. and very intelligent.
Several of their chiefs were educated and
had adopted the customs Of the whites. In
1878. after being driven from the WAllowa
valley, under Joseph, their war chief. they
inaugurateG hostilities against the whites,
and the battles of White Bird and others
fought In the neIghborhood Of Lewiston are
still fresh IN the minds of the people. The
troops under General D. o. Howard fol-
lowed them through the Bitter Root valley,
and finally overlook and defeated them.
Joseph and few of his braves were sent
to the Indian territory, and since that time
the numbers haye materially decreased.
The last report of Captain J. Robinson,
agent for the Nez Perce, shows that the
present numbsr of Iudlans. Is 1893. This
year $50 cultivated 10. 900 acres Of wheat.
1000 acres of fax, 1000 acres of oats, and
500 acres of barley, besides corn. potatoes.
fruit, etc. These Indians also own consid-
erable herds of horses and cattle, and are
altogether contented and prosperous. The
first payment on their lands will give each
one of them about $400 in cash, which will
amount to from $1,000 to $4,000 to every
head of family. and IN some cases where
multiplication has proceeded diligently, to
several thousand dollars.

Immigration

We received pleasant call today from
Capt. Crane, editor of the Arcadia, Neb.
Courier. He is here with the intention of
publishing an immigration paper IN this
city, and will issue the first copy at an
early date. There are now six or seven
families from Arcadia who have made homes
In this vicinity, and 500 or 600 families are
expected to immigrate to this state very
soon. This immigration scheme is favored
by the railroad companies, and by this
means they expect to increase their busi-
nets. During the last season drouth has
prevailed throughout Nebraska. and farmers
have become discouraged. They are look
ing elsewhere for homes, and very many
have preference for O:egon. We will ex-
tend hearty welcome to these home
seekers, and believe we can offer them
many opportunities OF making living and
accommodating riches not found elsewhere.

Newfound,and Finances

ST JoHN.'s N. F., Dec. 10 The Com
merclal bank of Newfoundland, having
headquarters ID this city, suspended
payment this month, owing to the fall
ure of several of the largest fish exporting
houses to respond to liabilities to the
bank. This has involved other banks,
and has crippled some concerns bere.
Four have closed their premises, and
others will close tomorrow. Small de-
positors are demanding gold from the
union and savings banks, and the gold
reserve is being steadily drained. II they
are able to meet the run, everything Is
safe, but the chief danger is the diff .uity
in getting more gold into the country.
AT present the people are very peace
ful, and some are unable to appreciate
the gravity of the situation. Business
men are irying to effect an arrangement
with London bankers or with Canadian
concerns which will be urged 20 extend
business to this center.

Terrible Fate of a Young Man.

A La Grande dispatch dated Dec. 10th
furnishes the following particulars Of the
suicide Of Oliver Hearing:
News has just reached La Grande Of a
strange happening in the mountains about
nine miles north of Summerville. Last July
a young man named Oliver Hearing, left
home near Elgin. taking horse, rife and
other personal belongings and started for
the mountains. Shortly afterward his horse
returned riderless. This was not considered
strange, as his brothers supposed he had
found employment somewhere aud had
turned loose his horse so that 1t might come
home. Time past and nothing was heard
OF the absent man, inquiry started on foot
by friends and relatives proving Of no avail.
A few days ago party of hunters ran
across Hearings hat, axe, artridge pouch,
rifle barrel, etc. But could find no sign of
his remains. They returned to Elgin and
reported the discovery. A searching party
was Immediately organized at Elgin, and
the scene thoroughly explored. The result
solved the mystery. Hearing had cut down
some trees, cut eff a big fallen log Of pitch,
and built tremendous FIRE. He then, il is
supposed, shot himself aud fell over into the
fire, having had the deliberate purpose Of
destroying every vestige Of his remains.
He nearly succeeded. A few charred bones,
enough to half fill hat, and some remnants
Of clothing were all that were found in the
fire, which covered space of SIX by ten
feet in dimensions aud had burned into tn Q
ground. Hearing was 2S years old, although
he looked much younger, aud was strong
healthy mau, standing six feet two inches
high. He was a hunter and trapper by
profession and Of gloomy. taciturn disposi.
tion, loving to hunt alone in the mountains.
The spot chosen for the deed was desolate
one on wooded ridge far from human lite.
Hearing lived long time in Union county
and was well known. The news has caused
a great sensation. No reason can bs as
signed for the terrible deed.

A New Law Point.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. THE text
of the Connecticut supreme court opinion
ordering retrial of DIR E Lee, alter an
acquittal by jury for murder. the first
record OF the kind in the state, IS given
out today. It's main argument is the
point that the old English common law
was SO cruel that fhe JUDGES then wisely
held that an accused, after jury scqultal
could not be put IN jeopardy second
time for the same offpnse, but now that
the old law has been relaxed a criminal
ought not to benefit by former practice
and justice be- thwarted. The Judicial
ruling of the court of five judges was
unanimous in the opinion, which was
written by Judge Hamersley, OF Hartford.

some blood from the box ran out on Ker-
sey's sleeve. He ssked Jordan what that
meant and the latter told hlm there was

kept silent until tine terrors of the "sweat
