the name of Rogers called on Oen.
Grant reeenth, and in the course of
<'.>nversation him what be
,' of Hancock's New Orleans
order. The General paused, gazed
gravely into vacancy for a moment,
and replied :
" Well, Rogers, if I go to Europe
next summer, you may take that
black horse of mine and use him
while I'm gone. lie's first rate un
der the saddle, and trots good to a
buggy. I'll tell Jim to let you have
hint whenever you want him."
"Thank you, General, thank you."
said the obliged but still inquisitive
Rogers. " Rut I think that was a
good order—don't you !"
" You'll find a good McClellan
saddle," was the General's response.
Rogers gave it up in disgust.

WORTHY OF THOUGHT. —That the
next Presidential election will create
a more absorbing interest, and at the
same time excite keener apprehen
«ions in the public mind, than any
election that the country lias ever yet
witnessed, says the Keokuk Constitu
tion I, is u tact universally recognized.
The extent to which it will tell upon
the country for good or for evil is in
calculable. If power again passes in
to the hands of the Radicals, the
American people have seen the last
of that " liberty regulated by law,"
which has been their pride and their
boast for nearly a century. If they
«-vcr rtsfain it it will IH> onlv by the
bl<Mxlv ordeal of revolution.

Oak Point Salmon F:*hery. Ac
Kir*t tin* name. Maiiv wonder
\\ ] i \ this s Ik>II I*l lx* called < t.ik I '•>mt.
there being no oak-* visible, and the
place being in a cove, rather than a
point of the river hank.
Oak Point proper, is on t'le Oregon
side of the river opposite here. It
was so named, from a srr >vc of oak
trees near the bank, which have been
cut down. When the saw mill was
built here, being opposite Oak Point,
it was naturally called Oak Point riv
er, by the Bottlers in that day, and
when a post olHee was established at
the mill, it took the name of Oak
Point also. So the name has, in a
manner, been transferred to the north
side of the river, as well as the south
side.
The fisheries at this place, on the
Oregon side, have in the past two or
three years, heen so rapidly increased
and developed, that they are now
likely to be the most important busi
ness here. It was always a noted
salmon fishery among the Indians,
before the writer came to this coast;
and in 1802, Mason Ilodgkins and
Sanders, started a regular salmon
fishery which has been continued by
Mr. Gotham Reed, tip to this time;
within the last three years that busi
ness has been on the increase, and
now seven different fisheries, on the
two shores, with buildings and appa
ratus have been permanently estab
lished for taking and curing salmon,
and others intend to erect buildings
during the coming season. Last
season over 3000 barrels of two hun
dred pounds each, were salted down
in these fisheries. Last year, a new
branch of that business was started
here, on our side of the river, by
Messrs. Ilapgood, Hume & Co., for
merly ot Sacramento, Cal. They
erected buildings and machinery tor
putting up salmon in tin cans, fresh,
tor exportation, and during last year,
made the cans, and put up nearly or
quite, 100,000 cans of one pound
each; this year tlicy intend to in
crease the business largely. One of
the firm, Mr. G. W. Ilmne, has sep
arated from them, and put up build
ings and machinery of his own, cal
culated to do as much as the old firm
in the same business; the two firms
expect to put up at least 300,000 cans
between tlieni, next summer. The
Salmon put up in this way, are
cooked in the can#, and will keep
fresh for yearn. They are pro
nounced by salmon-eaters, as the
best way of cooking and preparing
salmon tor the table. Nearly all <>t
their salmon arc sent to the Austra
lian luakt-t.

Usefat Household Recipes.
Pdstc a* is Paste. —Dissolve an ounce
of alum in a quart of warm water:
when cold, add as much flour as will
make it the consistence of cream :
then strew into it as much powdered
rosin as will stand on a dime, and two
or three cloves; boil it to a consist
ence, stirring all the time. It will
keep for twelve months, and when
dry may be softened with water.
(Jloss on Jjincn. —To restore tho
gloss commonly observed on newly
purchased collars or shirt-bosoms,
add a spoonfull of gum arabic water
to a pint of starch as usually made
for this purpose. Two ounces of
gum arabic may be dissolved in a
pint of water, after standing over
night may be racked oil'and kept in
a bottle, ready for uso.
To Desirot, Caterpillars. —Boil to
gether a quantity of rue, wormwood
and any cheap tobacco, fequal parts)
in common water —the liquid should
be very strong. Sprinkle it on the
leaves and young branches every
moning and evening during the time
the fruit is ripening.
Whitewash (hut Will Not Hub Off. —
Mix up half a puiltill of lime and
water, ready to put it on tho wall,
then take one gill of flour and mix it
with tho water; then pour on it
boiling water sufficient to thicken it:
pour it while hot into the white
wash.
Good for Horses. —Those keeping
horses, should, once a week, give
them a handful of salt and ashes.
Mix them by putting in three parts
of salt to one of ashes. Horses relish
this, and it will keep them soft ami
fine. It will prevent hots, colic &e.
7 o Clean Marble. —Marble may be
cleaned hy mixing up a quantity of
the strongest soap-lees, witli quick
lime to the consistency of milk and
laving it on the marble for twenty

In these d.iv when variety i* »Miglit
fur, ore «'.i i finish the <v.il!s of his
in diil'erent wood fo rnit his
taste. One room can be (inislicd in
bird's eye maple, another in chesnut,
another in cherry, another in white
wood, ami so on. Thus he has no
imitation, but the real, genuine ar
ticle upon his walls. The eye tires
of set figures, such as we have in
ordinary paper-hangings, but never
of nature itself. The longer the
wood-hangings remain on the wall,
the more distinct will be tho grain
and color of the wood.
The expense of wood is less than
paper. Of course, if one wants to
make a very handsome room, he "can
use expensive wood ; but tho ordin
ary kinds, some of which are very
handsome, arc very cheap. The
walls of kitchens and common rooms
can be covered in this way so as to
make the expense very small. The
wood can bo oiled, varnished or
shell need, and then washed at pleas
ure, and thus kept perfectly clean.
It will not crack or split in using,
and when on tho walls, stands like
solid work. Rooms have been lined
with wood hangings and exposed for
months to the strongest heat from
common stoves, without the slight
est sign of pealing off or warping.
Tho article, when ready for use, is
very thin, and a log measuring 24
inches in diameter, would make 125
rolls, containing SO square feet each.
One machine will shave two roll?
per minute.
By paneling with different kinds
of wood, a room may be finished in
elegant style and made to correspond
with the furniture. For example,
if the furniture i 3 chcinut with
black walnut trimming, the walls
could be hung with the same kind of
wood. Thus, all tastes could be
gratified, and parties who may nso
this kind of hanging will find that
it will stand very much longer than
paper and will improve by
has already boon used in some first
class houses in Boston, as well as in
those of moderate cost, and has given
perfect satisfaction. It is destined
to take the place of paper, and when
properly understood and appreciated,
it will conic into general use.

semi state of unconsciousness, by the
smoke of the ever present fragrant
Havana, lie subsides into seeming
indifference and trusts to his friends
to do their best to help him out of
the melancholy dilemma. Unfor
tunate man ! Melancholy spectacle !
The hope of a Presidential nomina
tion turned Grant's head, and to
secure it he yielded to the wishes
of the Radical faction, and prosti
tuted his high office to mere partizan
purposes. This transaction, of
itself, makes tho attainment of the
Presidency by Grant an utter im
possibility. Tho fearful price ho
has just paid for Radical favor—tho
sacrifice of personal and official
honor —may possibly procure for
him a Radical nomination, but the
more surely will it result in an over
whelming popular defeat beyond it.
In the contest which is approaching,
which, indeed, has already begun,
principles arc everything and men
are mere nothings. \Vo have im
mediately before us tho partizan
General, under tho command and
control of a faction and sectional
Congress, proceeding in unison with
it to complete tho conquest and over
throw of the Executive and Judicial
departments of tho Government, and
with them, every vestago of civil and
constitutional liberty. In this final
and absorbing issue, what heed is it
expected tho American people will
take, of what has been, or what is
the personal popularity of tho Gen
eral who has suffered himself to be
made the instrument and to become
the representative of a faction so
dangerous in the State ? In this
contest tho mere personal popularity
of Grant, e\;en were it of Washintoni
an or Jaeksonian proportions, would
become as tho morning dow before
our summer sun.

Fourth, If he cannot be arraigned

It is needless to say that Cury
voted against the bill. A Washing
ton correspondent pertinently writes:
" Tbo logical force of these four
questions could not be dodged! They
told the whole story. Absolute des
potism ! nothing more, nothing leas.
Bingham, however, replied that Con
gress had made General Grant and
Congress could unmake him; and
that 4 Congress would take care that
lie faithfully executed the law,' thus
openly and boldly admitting that
Congress had already usurped the
Constitutional power of the Federal
Executive, who is sworn ' seo the
laws faithfully executed.' The ef
fect of this reply must be to open
wide the eyes of tho people, if tlisy
value their present forms of Consti
tutional government. The conserv
ative members and tho crowded
galleries, even his own Radical par
tisans, saw that Bingham was com
pletely ' cornered,' but no one
seemed to anticipate an open ac

usurpatiou."
DEPTIIS OF THE SKA. —(Jur liivesh
gations go to show that the roaring
waves and the mightiest billows of
the ocean repose, not upon hard and
troubled beds but upon cushions of
still water; that everywhere at the
the bottom of the deep sea the solid
ribs of the earth are protected as
with a garment from tilts abraiding
action of its currents; that the cradlo
of its restless waves is lined by a stra
tum of water at rest; or so nearly at
that it cau neither wear nor move
the lightest bit of drift that once
lodges there. The uniform appear
mice of these microscopic shells, and
the most total absence among them
of any sedimeut from the sea or for

the idea of perfect repose at the bot
