son. If we should take all the potato
fields within ten miles of here their pro-
duct would not pay the cost of produc-
tion. The Jackson Whites, the Sebecs,
the Oronos and other favOrite varieties
will be almost an entire failure. Acres
of them will not pay for digging, and
never will be dug. The red potatoes
are less affected, and some of the new
varieties do better. Among the Early
Rose no disease has been discovered, and
the Goodrich are very free from rot. 1t
is possible that some of these varieties
may run for years; but it looks more as
though potato culture on the old lands
would be abandoned at no distant day.
In consequence of the rot the prices
are low; but before spring potatoes
will be worth more than corn; if they
rot in Maine as badly as here, they will
sell for more than wheat.

Our report in another place gives
the proceedings of the Democratic
Congressional Convention held near
this city yesterday. Judge NIBLACK
was again nominated for reelection
on the fourth ballot. The delegates
from this county did their best to
prevent this result, casting their votes
for Judge PARRETT to the last. But
their influence upon delegates from
other counties was weak. Besides,
the conduct Of some of the Wander
burgh delegates was so presumptious
and arrogant as to occasion disgust
and opposition on the part of many
who, under other circumstances.W .W0ald
have felt disposed to go for Judge
PARRETT, even against Mr.. NIBLAcK.


The proceedings, we learn from
some of the most respectable Demo-
Gratis present, were disOrderly to an
extent that humiliated and disgusted
them. Considerable drunkenness
was displayed, and one or two per-
soral difficulties were only prevented
by the interference of third parties.
Some of the delegates made public
exhibitions of themselves upon the
streets Of cur city not at all creditable,
and such as, under other circum-a
stances, would have insured them
quiet quartersainl the city lookup.
But the police kindly considered the
occasion of the Offense and the poli-
ties of the offenders, and let them 60

Mr.. NIBLAoK is we'll known to the
people of this Congressional District.
Personally he is genial and clever.
We differ with him politically, and
win, as heretofore, discuss his politi-
cal record as closely and critically as
possible-hewing to the liue, letting

The story of Cinderella is familiar to evory
one, and yet there are few that treasure it up
as in every respect true But it has founda-
tion and reality that really needs no fairy
godmother, with her pumpkin and her rats,
to make an entertaining tale. 1t is as follows ::


In about the year $780, French actor, by
the name of Thevenard, lived in Paris. He
was rich and talented, but he had no wife and
we may believe he had never loved any one,
but gave all his affections to those ideal char.
actcrs that he could represent so fine on the
stage. One day as he was walking leisurely
along the streets of Paris he came upon u cob
blcr's stall, and his eye was attracted by q
dainty little shoe which lay there waiting for
repairs. His Imagination began Immediately
to form the little foot that must fit such little
shoe. lie examined it well, but only to admire
it more and more.


On going to his own house he seemed
haunted by the little shoe. He fanciod it
tripping over his floors; he could hear the
music ofits tread-in fact, there was nothing
among all his rich, elegant treasures that
seemed to him half so beautiful.


He went to the stall of the cobbler again,
but could learn nothing in regard to the owner
Of the shoe. This only increased his eager
ness, and made him more determined to know
to whom it belonged Day by day he was
disappointed; but he was not discouraged.


At last the little foot needed the little shoe,
and Thevenard met the owner, poor girl,
whose parents belonged to the humblest class
But the ardent actor thought not of caste OF
family. His heart had already pronounced
the little one his wife He married the girl,
with no question of what people would say,
and felt enough joy in hearing the tread of the
light, nimble feet through his silent rooms, to
pay for the sacrifice of peoples approval
This is the true story of Cinderella, and from
which the child romance sprang.

RANCID BUTTER.-We long ago cut from
an exchange the following receipt: "To pint
of water add thirty drops (about half table
spoonful of liquid of chloride of lime.
Wash in this two and half pounds Of rancid
butter. When every particle of butter has
come in contact with the water, let it stand
an hour or two, then wash the butter we'll
again in pure water. The butter Is then left
without any odor, and has the sweetness of
fresh butter. These preparations of lime
have nothing injurious in them"


We forthwith obtained from Mr.. D..
Nicholson, as a personal favor, some of the
most rancid butter in his very extensive es.

stomach that had more sensibility than a
wagon wheel. We doctored it as per receipt,
and when placed on the table along with the
good butter, very able judges could not de-
sermine which was the new butter. Here is

The infelicity and frequent separations of the

of matrimony among the bachelor fraternity in
that city, which is well illustrated by the means
taken by one to break off an engagement made
when he was drunk. He told his own story in
court where he appeared to have the "big broth
ers" of his afianced put under bonds to keep the
peace towards him: 49,.

General Grant has heretofore de-

now running on the platform which
says the principle is good enough for
the South and bad for the North.
But the following extract from the
speech Of Senator Doolittle, delivered
at Milwaukee, October, 1866, shows
where he professed to stand on the
subject of negro Suffrage six months
after the close Of the war: q


"The other day when General
Grant was here, spending several
hours with him in free conversation
on this subject among others, he ex-
pressed to him the same opinion.
Said I, General Grant, / never quote
private conversation without express
permission. Am l permitted to state
what you now state to me?' Said he,
Certainly; there is no concealment on
my part And he stated to me in
the conversation that a considerable
portion Of the troubles between the
whites and blacks that had already
occurred was in consequence Of 1.-The
unwise attempt to force negro suf-
frage in those States. He said further,
that If the Federal Government
were to attempt to do il and enforcs
il, it would undoubtedly produce wal

LADIES BooTs.-The Philadel-
phia Telegraph says;


"The only real revolution in fash
ion is the startling innovation in
boots. Instead Of the iuvariable
to which we have been accustomed, a
mandate as severe as those before
which Media and Persia trembled,
has pronounced, under the terrible
punishment Of being "behind the
time" that the ladies must be robed
cap a pie in the same color, or rather
that the boot must harmonize in hue
with the rest Of the costume. Thus,
if the robe be trimmed with gold OF
silver, the boot becomes also appa.
rently a solid casing Of these precious
metals. Kid and morocco are man.
ufactured in all the tints that arr
used in street suits, from the color Of
the sky above the ladies' heads to the
hue of the dust beneath their feet.
The same style of their very high
boot, buttoned at the side, with q

high heel, Is also the exact costum,
for the ball room, and in obedienc,
to the same rule of uniformity are te

other high and light colors, As well

The MIXTURE OF RAcEs.-Agas.
siz, in his lately published work on
Brazil, has the following on the mix
ture Of races:


Let any one who doubts the evil
of this mixture philanthropy to break
down the barrier between them, come
to Brazil. He cannot deny the de-
terioration consequent upon an ANAL
gamation Of races, more widespread
here than in any other country in the
world, and which is rapidly effacing
the best qualities Of the white man,
the negro and the Indian, leaving a
mongrel nondescript type, deficient
in physical and mental energy. AT
time when the social status Of the
negro is subject Of vital import
ance in our craftsmanship, we should
profit by the experience Of country
where, though slavery exists, there is
far more liberality toward the free
negro than he has ever enjoyed 10
the United States. Let us learn the
double lesson; open all the advan-
tages Of education to the negro, and
give him every chance Of success
which culture gives to the man who
knows how to use it; but respect the
laws Of nature, and let all our deal
ings be to prevent an amalgamation
Of the races.

The Weekly Oregoaidn says: This
branch OF commerce on the Pacific coast
Is fast becoming one of the most impOr-
taat features in the enterprise and indus
try Of our people. The inexhaustible
forests of the best timber in the world,
which clothe great part of the coun-
try, together with the surprising natural
facilities for their conversion into lum-
Der, and its transportation, give US an
advantage over any other section of the
United States. Already the lumber of
this coast is finding a market in all parts
Of the globe. The extensive miles in the
region of Puget Sound furnish annually
many millions of feet, and supply great
and growing demand. And there is no
reason why Oregon should not receive
her shsre OF the rich harvest derived
from the vast amount OF this product
exported to other shores. Our own re-
sources in this regard are not greatly in
ferior TO those of our sister Terri
tory. The northern portion of the
Willamette Valley, in almost any part
OF the world except the Pacific, would
he deemed to be exceedingly we'll adapted
to the production of this staple srti.
ole Of commerce. Portland in many r.
spects is SO situated that this brsn5n of
trade engaged in with due cnterpriss
could not fail to be largely remunerative.
Yet the three mills In our city would
scarcely more than supply the home de-
mand we're 1t not for the quantities con-
stantly furnished from the adjacent mills
at Oswego, st. HeleDs and Westport.
The constant growth of our city requires
the annual consumption of an amount
equal If not greater than that produced.
Our mines, agricultural resources, fisher
les, and lumber trade, combined, present
the most attractive field for the invest
ment Of capital in the United States.


Twenty and even ten years in the his
tory of our State, with the completion of
a railroad connecting US with the East,

development OF their inexhaustibls re-

ThE LOST CAUSE REGAINED. has been writing another work entitled "The Lost Cause regained." The following ex- tracts illustrate his idea.

 They were the wise men at the south who understood at the beginning that sla- very was the most unimportant object in the war as matter of property; that the abolition of slavery was not to be greatly regretted as such-a small, incomplete evil but it was to be deplored as an introduc- tion to the terrible and greater question of negro equality, and such political recon structlon as we see attempted to-day. They saw far ahead who defended the condition of slavery and courted it in the war and throughout it's term of existence as the barrier to the father and vaster question of races in America. Slavery was an outwork of the controversy; but the great battle is yet to be fought. The war has eviscerated and enlightened the true question, and the south prepares to con- test it with advantages she never had be- fore. When she defended slavery by her arms she was single handed, and encoun- tered the antipathies of the whole world now, when she asserts the ultimate su- premacy of the white man, she has not lost her cause, but merely developed it's higher significance. and in the new contest she stands with firm political alliance in the North, with the binding instincts Of race in her favor, and with the sympathles of ali generous and enlightened humanity drawn upon her.
