Lincoln Administration.

The Lincoln administration, great as
it was in the larger historical aspects,
marked no social revolution at the
White House. He was not much Of a
drawing-room man, and entertained as
conventionally as possible. The death
of his little Willie threw gloom over
the mansion, and this, with the storm
and stress, made anything like lavish
entertainments seem wholly out Of
place.
Life at the White House under Grant
was purely domestic, and the old man
sion never looked more homelike. This
was true Of the brio -brac. and Of the
flowers in the conservatory. It fell to
them, however, to entertain more dis
tinguished people and scions Of royalty
than any other occupants Of the White
House before them. Among these were
the duke of Edinburg, the Grand Duke
Alexis Of Russia, and King Kalakaua, as
well as the first Japanese and Chinese
ministers to come here after the sign
ing of the Burlingame treaty. While
neither President nor Mrs. Grant were
considered c0nversationalists, one of
the frequent visitors testifes today that
no one ever partook Of their hospitality
who was not charmed by their sim
certify and unpretentious cordiality.

Flre-Proof JalIs.

The municipal corporations of the

proof jails in the future, If the Senate
and the Governor second the bill to
that effect passed by the House Mon
day afternoon. Dobbin, Of Wallowa
county, is the originator Of the bill.
In giving his reasons why the bill
should pass, Mr. Dobbin stated that
there had been several instances
where prisoners had been severely
and fatally burned through the firing
Of jails they were confined in. He
cited a case in Baker county where
five prisoners, one witness, had all
been burned to death before aid could
reach them. III this bill becomes
law it will not work hardship on the
municipalities as they are not required
to tear down the wooden structures
now used. However, should they de-
eide to erect new building, it would
have to be fire-proof in every particu-
lar. The bill, when finally submitted
for passage, received a unanimous

Mcmahon Loses Suit.

Attorney L. II. Mcmahon lost his
suit against C. W. James, Superin-
tendent of the Penitentiary, in Judge
Galloway's court Saturday. This suit
contained exactly the same charges as
were presented to the Legislature last
week. The trial judge holds that it is
the duty Of the District Attorney and
the Attorney-General to prosecute any
suit in which the state is a party and
that a private individual cannot bring
an action in his own name to enioin a
public official in the performance Of
any act, unless that act would burden
the plaintiff by excessive taxation, or
cause him other special injury; and it
does not appear that the plaintiff in
this suit suffered such injury.
Attorney Mcmahon will appeal the
suit against Superintendent james TO
the Supreme Court.

Once Resident Of Oregon.

not very well known to the general
public before, a great deal has been
said and learned of Samuel H. Piles,
of Seattle. 1t was stated in a discus
sion between some prominent men of
Salem, Sunday afternoon, that Mr..
Piles secured his start in this state,
and therefore, the people of Oregon
should feel more than an ordinary in
terest in him. 1t is said that Mr.. Piles
first obtained employment in log
