A Lima letter to the Chicago 'Inler
Ocean says: No man can see Peru
without wondering at the grandeur, the
industry and intelligence of the Ineaa,
Empire. They had arts which the
world has forgotten; knowledge which
the world never know; thr;ft which
their conquerors could never imitate,
and wealth which made them thejiey
of every adventurer of the sixteenth
century. Their temples and palaces
were built of hewed stone from quar
ries that the Spanish have not been
able to discover, and the means by
which they lifted ' blocks of granite
weighing hundreds of tons is a rroldm
no antiquarian has been able to solve.
Thy knew how to harden copper
until it Lad an edge as keen arid endur
ing as the finest of modern steel; 'they
had ornaments of gold and sifVP'' and
cut jewels as skillfully as the lapidaries
of to-day, and their fabrics of woolen
and cotton are spun and woven as
smoothly as modern looms, can make.
They surpassed modern civilization in
many tilings and had a system of gov
ernment under which millions of people
lived and labored as a single family,
with every thing in common, knowing
all ai ts but those of war, and worship
ing a deity whose attributes were al
most pat allel to those of the Christian
Gob "
Hemmed in on one side by the im
passable snows of the Andes, and on
the other by a desert, lifted above the
rest of the world unknown to them, in
spirit as well as fact, 'S peaceful and
as elm a the Andean stars, they es
tablished a system of civilization in
which, for the first time since creation,
the equal rights of every human baing
wt're recognized by theoi as a symbol
of the infinite, the omnipotence, whose
force and majesty their simple logic"
could not understand; while the sun,
'whose. heat and light made existence
possible, was recognized as the source
of all good. Hence these two elements
the s.m and the ocean, were personified
and were the objects of the Incas' wor
ship. V .... .

A Good Appcmtment-
A Corvalhs exchange says: Rev.

p intment was made at the instigation !
of Mr. Nickvrson. the present xirenf.

account of failing health. Mr Nicker-
son will continue to act as asrent until
October, when Mr. Emery will take
charjre and continue the aood work"

ter climate. The .appointment of Mr.
Emery meets with universal satisfac
tion but is a sad blow to his many ad
mirers in the Stat3 Agricultural college.

the last eighteen years as one of the
principal educators, has endeared him
to a host of friends, who will regret to
see him sever his connection wi,h the
same, but are confident ho will fill his
new position efficiently.

"Was It -a Mistake?
The vouncr ai'l at the Thirteenth
street crossing, wore a saucy litlle fea
ther in her hat that seemed to take the
conductor's eye at once as he helped
her on his Madison avenue car. All
through the tnnml the feather nod ied
at him in a jolly way that argued a
friendly interest in the new blue uni
form he had i:ot yet paid for.' lie
glanced at her two or three times out
of the corner of his eye ami seemed
really hurt when she motioned him to
come and take her fare. Willi a care
less grace of one accustomed to handle
large sums of money, he glanced at the
quarter the young Lidy dropped into
his hand to see that it was not plugged.
Then his hand closed tightly! over it.
It was a loz 'iige, not a quarter, lie
took it out u posi the platform, where
hc cidd read its message .away from
the cold eyes of the- other passengers.
The candy simply asked: "Will you
marry me," in warm, red letters.
"Sue" was looking earnestly at him,
and ho forgot to stop at Foiticth street
for an old lady with a green veil. AH
his energies were concentrated in fram
ing a proper answer to. the sweet mess
age. She beckoned him to come to
her, .and as he bent above the friendly
feather the soft voice s id;;
"I will trouble you for my change."
Four nickels came sadly out of the
blue pocket and dropped into a white
palrn. He was a quarter out that tiip.

EniTon Review: Your paper seems
to be taking quite an interest in the
Josephine County Court House and
also in the proposed extra session of
the Legislature. The former issue will
be settled by the courts and I trust
the eonnty officials ' will be upheld as

was the best one made. ith regard
to the extra session the Review has

that there has as yet been no session of

acts may be called to tho- attention of
the" people as worthy of their ,. indorse
ment: The amendment of Teller's order is

of the lands were saved to tho govern

Jackson county, called upon the Jack
sonville Times Tuesday, He had just
returned, from the J osepbine county
caves, which he had visited in company
with L. B. Hall, of Josephine. Mr.
B. reports a new Uistovery in the in
terior of the cave, being a chamber 364 ;
feet long and about 50 feet wide, ita
vaulted roof rising to a hight of from
50 to 75 feet. The entraco to this great
chamber is so narrow that only one
person of medium size can enter at a
time, but preparations are being made
to widen the passage, so that the new
wonder can letvisited by all who desire.
Besides this large chamber others of
great beauty have been discovered this

acts as guide to sight-seers, is continu
ally making new discoveries, and when
a good road1 is secured thousands of
people will doubtless visit these -won
dors of natute every season.
