On Friday evening. June 2Sth, just
about dusk, Miss Wood, residing at No.
512 Orange street, stepped out into the
yard, and while standing there for few
moments, some kind of an insect flew on
one of her temples and stung her. At the
time she did not think anything of it, but
sometime afterwards she was reminded
of the incident by violent pain in the
region of the wound, and also rapid
swelling OF the face. Remedies were ap-
piled but did not give any relief. Finally
physician was summoned, but all his
skill amountingto naught; two others
were called in, and all the known reme-
dies for such cases were used bus without
relief, as she continued to grow worse
until yesterday afternoon, between and
4 O'Clock, when she died. What species of
insect that stung her is unknown, but
some are inclined to think that it was a
spider, and others honey bee.

One Of the great difficulties in bringing
stock to a full degree of fatness is that they
often break down in their limbs through
the excessive accumulation OF fat. This is
particularly noticeable in swine, and espe-
cially when they are led exclusively on In
dian corn. This may be obviated in a
great measure by giving fattening animals
a variety of food during the earlier stages
Of fatteping, and finishing with corn. Plen-
" Of salt Is also essential. its office being
among other uses, to eliminate from the
blood noxious principles. Very finely
ground bone meal is also used in the finish

Senator Mitchell is undoubtedly
the most able and active man in pub
lie life at present working for the in.
terests of Oregon and Washington
Territory. In his letter to the Port
land Board of Trade, published else
where in this issue, his views are
freely and frankly given concerning
the relative claims of the Northern
Pacific Railroad company's bill and
his own, now awaiting the decision
of Congress. We will not attempt "A
recapitulation of the points set forth
in the document as tits, believing that
candid public will deem it unnec-
essary in view of the fact that the
Senator's ideas are expressed in his
own language so clearly that there
will be no lack Of weight on their
part or danger of misconstruction on
the part Of others.


With disinterested and tireless
devotion to the interests of his con-
stituents, the Senator is very evident
ly looking, as expressed by himself,
not to the next election but TO the
development of facts within the next
decade for convincing proof of the
wisdom Of his course, and proper ap
probation on the part Of the public
Had he been looking to immediate
political emoluments and pecuniary
gain, how easy he could have secured
his object through the aid of the
powerful monopoly with whom he is
at present measuring strength, and
whose support he could have com
manded to an extent limited only by
their ability, in return for his elo-
quent and able advocacy of their
measures. But the Oregon Senator
is far-seeing statesman whose con
scientious views Of the rights and
vital interests of the great common
wealth which he represents will not
allow him to waive their destinies in
behalf of personal ambition, or 20 en-
hance personal gains. Whether sue
cess or defeat attends his mastery
effort in the Senate to protect public
interests in this case, he will live in
history as one who performed his
duty with that faithfulness and abil-
ty which always characterizes the
worthy and the noble.


The history of the past reveals the
fact that it is at least no injustice to
cOporate power to use honorable
means through legislation, in plac
ing out of its reach any opportunity
to advance its interest at public ex.
pense; and in view of the iIl.con-
cealed fact that the n. P. r. r. will
delay the building of their road as
long as possible, it behooves all who
have the interest of the Northwest at
heart to see to it that such posi-
bilities are kept within proper
bounds. Senator Mitchell, one of
the unassuming though solid and
capable men of his day, is just the
person for this peculiar mission.

The Straight Republican ''organs" vent 8 great deal of abuse on the present House of Representatives, and the New York Tribune, which has only soft words for the Pacific rail- road grabbers, and the Western and Southern timber thieves holds up its hands in horror at the number of Southern claims presented in the present House. This is no fair test. It is not the number of such claims presented, but the number allowed that determines the favor able or unfavorabIe disposition of the House l; and we have seen no monstrous claims allow ed, as yet. Says the Springfield Republican !:

 The present House of Representatives has one hard drinker, it has good many ex-rebels in its seats, and it has good many queer fish, for this is a big country it brings forward a good many sweepers and heavy patriots to fill the few offices within its command. But 1t must be said also that for many years no House has been so sure death on job, no House has been so ready to repudate an unfaithful ser want, no matter at what scandal, and no House has presented more forbidding field for the lobby. It is the sllallOwest calumny for pa- pers like the Chicago Tribune to talk about the disposition of Congress to pass such bills as ''have money in them"

 The House has been grossly unfair in it's decision of contested elections, and it is trifle more crazy than the Senate on finance, but we believe it to be vastly honester body than the Republican Houses of Grants time. The reason of this is obvious. As far. as the North goes, the Republicans and Democrats preserve much the same proportion now as then but in the South, Democrats-old Confederate sol diers mainly-have been substituted for Re- publican carpet baggers. That these latter fel- lows were lon the make," almost to man, no intelligent, sane Republican now denies Look at the Senate vote on the Thurman Pa cific railroad bill, week before last Of six Southern Republican Senators, five are record ed in favor of Jay Gould's monopoly.

 In short, the accusation of dishonesty is par tisan, misleading, and, in the main false. There is very natural Northern prejudice against House dominated by old Confeder- ates. It is not pleasant sight to any of us old Republicans. Nevertheless it is not true that Confederate is as dishonest as Carpet Bagger. No doubt the people who make such a charge hate the South sincerely but they hate Hayes and Reform with an infinitely greater hatred and they hope by playing on our prejudices to perpetuate old issues. and to keep up their influence with grand old party which they have already misled to the very brink of ruin.
