A CORRECTION.

Our information regarding the death OF M.
P. TAYLOR seems to have been erroneous. The
result of our enquiries was in type before
an autopsy was held, and believing same to be
reliable, no further information regarding
the cause of Mr.. Taylor's demise was thought
necessary. However, the post mortem ex
animation made by DIR. Masten, of Albany,
assisted by DR.. Altman. of this city, demon
strated the fact that sooner or later the
patient would have died from the mallg-
nancy of the tumor 1t showed that the
intestine, where it had been brought togeth
er by the Murphy baton, had perforation.
And that the failure of this button to pass
away was the immediate cause of death
The place where the button hao been placed
pending the knitting together of the intes-
tine had entirely healed up, and the button
had started on its course out OF the body,
but after proceeding short distance, its
further progress was obstructed. Here the
button remained until gangrene set in, caus-
ling decay of the membrane, which burst,
allowing the abdominal cavity to fill with
gas and pus. This was the direct ca use Of
death.

ANOTHER 1mroRrANr INDUSTRY

Along the banks of the Mckenzie, near
Eugene, there exists a peculiar kind of ar
gillaceous rock, the remarkable Furnishing
qualities of which have attracted the
attention of some prominent residents oil
that city who have organized company
known as the Sunset Polish Co., with E. j.
MeClanahan, president, and our genial big
friend, +. F. Willis-of Wagon and Car
riags renown-as vice president, and have
erected crusher and pulverizsr and boxing
factory, giving employment to twenty six
people, and now the Oregon Tripoli is be-
ing supplied to trade demands at the rate
of 10000 boxes per day.
A careful analysis of the rock proves it to
be composed wholly of silica, being de-
posit of the cast shells of microscopic
animalculae, and fully equal to the i'm
ported article, which is produced in but
one locality-as the name implies-Tripoli
on the African coast OF the Mediterranean,
and we hope for most successful and pros
perous career for this distinctly Oregon en-
| terprise.

the hope Of making ''strike' among
old correspondence OF scarce and rare
stamps.
About ten days ago his business
called him to an uDoccupied building
on Mission street near the waterfront.
In large vault built into the brick
wall in the basement of the structure,
he found four or five good sized
wooden boxes filled with letters, docu-
ments, etc. He was not long in enter
ing on the work of thoroughly explor-
put up in packages held together by
rubber bands. Somebody had evil
IDENTIFY been looking over their con-
tents recently, as the boxes were
broken open and many of the pack
ages were scattered among the other
rubbish that partly filled the vault.
Mr.. SturteVant had gone carefully
through several bundles of papers,
when ne picked up one that still had
the rubber band about 1T. Thls had
become brittle from old age, and as he
picked it up the band broke and the
package oFened, displaying, to his
astouishment and delight, letter
bearing q stamp that every collector
dreams of pOssessing5 but which very
few hope to acquire8 1t was what is
known as the FIVE cent Hawaiian
missionary stamp, cancelled, but ini
what the stamp auctioneers Would
describe as magnificent condition. ana
is catalogued at $500.
When he got over the first shock of
joyful surprise, he vigorously resumed
his search, in strong hopes OF discov
eriug additional specimens or perhaps
some of the two cent aud thirteen
cent stamps of the same issue, valued
respectively at $500 and $3.50 each.
But while he secured many old
United States stamps, his five-cent
missionary stamp remained his sole
great prize.
For a few days he kept bis secret.
Then he communicated the fact Of his
good fortune to a fellow collector.
After that it WAS not long before it
was almost the sole topic of converse
ton among the fraternity. He had
offers from all the local dealers aud
several collectors, but as he had not
been able to make up his mind
whe; her to keep it for the adornment
of his album or to dispose OF 1t, he
refused TO consider any of them. He
finally concluded to dispose of 1T, pre-
ferring TO use the proceeds for num-
ber Uf less valuable stamps.
Among others who had heard OF the
"fiud " was II J. CrOcker The latter
gentleman was particularly anxious
to secure this specimen, as be had but
recently bought the 13-cent of the
same issue at an auction sale OF the
Chicago Philatelic Society for $50,

! specimen as that possessed by Mr. Stur
I tevant. he arranged an interview
with the latter, and in less than hf-

JAPANESE BRING SUIT.
Will Request Damages for not Being
Allowed to Land.

Seventy of the Japanese who ar
rived by the steamer Independent
have refused to become contract
laborers, and will return to their
native country.
These men are of the party of
seventy-one who desired to enter
the country as free laborers, and
presented drafts upon the Yoko-
hama specie bank in lieu of the
required $50 cash. The drafts were
refused by the Collector General,
and the Board of Immigration gave
the men the opportunity of con-
tracing for labor on the planta-
tions. This they in turn refused
to 60, preferring to return to Japan.
K Ogura & Company will enter
suit for damages against the Ha-
waiian Government, one of the men
being retained for legal purposes.

Within the past week Philatelic
circles have been greatly excited over
the "find" and sale in this city of one
of the greatest stamp varieties, says a
late issue of the San Francisco Call.
1t fell to the fortune of G. K. Sturte-
want of Oakland, manager for large
San Francisco real estate firm, to dis
cover the rarity, and to dispose of it to
II. J. Crocker, San Francisco's most
prominent collector, for $3.50.

duties, has frequent occasions to in
spect vacant premises, and like all
stamp collectors, has a penchant for

the envelope shown in the cut, was
ever used in the early days Of the

a modern steel stamp, whereas the
old date stamps were made of
wood, morticed for changing the
date of the month and the year,
and were much larger-say the
size of twenty-dollar piece. 1 have
