Volumo V of the history of Mexico, the latest of tho list in Bancroft's ''History of tho Pacific States," is received. It treats of an important epoch in the his tory of our southern sister republic, from 1824 to 1SG1, and is written with the same fidelity to historic detail and picturesquo verbiage that characterize tho earlier vol umes of his great work. The work is of great interest to American readers. The chapter on tho secession of Texas from Mexico and the history of the Mexican war, written from an impartial stand point, is a valuable contribution to tho current history of the times Tho great scope of the work, of which he volume in question isbut an integral part, makes it of abiding value to the public. The volume is elaborately gotten up, has ac curate maps and well executed illustra tions and takes its place beside the other volumes of tho scries on thousands of li brary shelves all over the coast.

Tho caso of Adair vs. W. T. Coleman cams up in tho D. S. circuit court yester day, says tho Orcgonian of the 7th, for hearing on a demurrer to tho complaint. It seems that in 18S1 Coleman bought fiOOO cases of snlmon of Adair Bros, nt their cannery in Astoria. The fish was shipped by direction of Coleman nnd went to Liverpool, England to the care of Bogers, Meyer &Co. On the 15th of Oc tober in that year Coleman received a dispatch stating that about 50 per cent of the fish was bad. He immediately for warded the dispatch to Adair iiros. nnd instructed his agent at Astoria, Mr. Brakke to ask the Adairs to assign their property to him ns secuntv for the loss, amounting to about $10,009 and in case they would not do so ho was to at tach the property. Adair Bros, convoj'ed their cannery and other property to Cole man ns security. Afterward Coleman re ceived another dispatch stating that tho fish were not so bad as at first thought. Ho sent this dispatch to tho Adairs also. In tho spring of 1SS2 tho Adairs wanted thoir cannery back, as tho fishing season was about to commence, and sought a settlement with Coleman. He furnished them with nn itemized account of losses nnd expenses, amounting to a little over $ 1,000 which they paid and took their property back. Sinco then they brought a suit in tho state circuit court at Astoria to recover the money paid Coleman, on tho ground that he took advantage of them and de ceived them. The suit was removed here by Coleman. Tho grounds of the de murrer to tho bill are that if the plaintiffs nrejentitted to recover anything they have a plain and adequate remedy at 1p w, nnd therefore cannot properly bring a suit in chancery; nnd that they are not entitleed to recover at all as there wasa stetlement by consent of both.partfes at the solicita tion of the -Adairs, each party being equally advised of the fact m the matter. Tho demurrer was argued b3 C. W. Ful ton for tho plaintiffs and Judge Kelly for the defendant, and the subject taken under advisement. Keeils Investigation. The matter on wheso head rests tho re sponsibility of the Oregon exhibit will soon be brought up. The first car load of goods sent, says the AVirs, were col lected by Messrs. Allen and Crawford to pay the expenses of which the stale voted 5,000. The exhibit was not suffi cient, nnd Mr. Allen wrote here asking that it bo replenished. The Oregon board of immigration collected 325 a. -ut another car load of stuff on to New r leans, including 10,000 pamphlet. Sinco that time tho Oregon board of im migration has become a state institution, and at the meeting Tuesday evening thoy refused to take any responsibility for tho oxhibit on their shoulders. What has become of the 5,000 voted to pay ex penses of the exhibit is a mystery. It is certain that J. W. Virtue, of Baker City got $1,000 for tho exhibition of a cabinet of minerals; it is stated that the cabinet was never sent to Now Or leans, but was sold in Chicago by Mr. Virtue. Other parties who mado them selves prominent at first havo dropped from public view since obtaining their salary. Governor Moody is credited with pronouncing the matter an outright swindle, and it would havo bsen investi gated by the legislature at the last ses sion, but for tho stubborn senatorial con test. If nn extra session is called, tho thing will be looked into. ItXtist bo Settled. All outstanding accounts of the late firm of Bergman & Berry remaining un paid on the llth inst will be placed in the hands of an attorney for collection. Please note this and save costs.

Hezekiah Gray, a paralytic patient at the Washington hospital for tho insane, at Steilacoom, fell into the lake near the asylum on Sunday and was drowned. Thero are nbont 45,000 head of sheep, and over 25,000 head of cattle, in Lake county. It is estimated that :140,000 pounds of wool were shipped out of the county last season. S. A. Clarke, of the Willamette Farm er, states that SI. McMasters of the Dun dee mortgage company, told him that 250 of tho Willamette farms were liable to foreclosure on account of 500,003 of ovsr-duo notes nnd that the company had collected 1,000,000 and removed it from the state, mostly from tho Willa mette vallej'. Bids aro called for by the Port Blakely Mill Company for tho construction of three miles of standard guage railroad from the head of the bound towards Gray's harbor, being the first section of a road thirty-three miles in length, to be built by that company, principally through its own lands, anil intended for lumbering and general trade. Tho tug Hunter arrived at North Bend Tuesday, says tho Coast Ji7, with John Kruse and the crow he took to Shonlwater bay to repair the schooner Mclanclhon, which they found water-logged on their arrival. Tho vessel was unloaded and beached, when tho leak was found to bo in tho casing of tho center-board, which wes taken off and supplanted by a ke6l. The Hunter is still at North Bend, where her deck is being caulked. The East Oregonian publishing com pany of Pendleton, sued an ex-subscriber for L5G claimed to bo due for newspa per subscription. Jury trial was had hist week before a justice. Defendant was represented by nttornies Tustin & Leis ure, Turner, Bailey & Balleray, Guyer & Fitz Gerald, nnd Beau & Fee, and tho plaintiffs by J.

It is proposed to build pontoons at the crossing of the Columbia river by tho Cascade- branch. These pontoons will bo 135 feet long and each provided with a gallows frame 12 feet high, and a hinged lever and a block and tackle. Thirty-five feet of timber resting on tho lower track will servo as a brake. Tho variation of tho river from low to high water at thi- point is 27 feet lho lowest stage being generally during tho latter part of De cember, when the level is 1527 feet above the mean sea level. Tho 0. 11. and N. Co. recently proposed to take the steamer Olympian, which has "been lying at Tacoma for a year past, to San Francisco, where bIio was to be placed on tho dry dock and repaired. All preparations were made for tho jour ney, but the scheme was knocked in the head by tho receipt of a telegram from San Francisco announcing that tho insurance companies in which the vessel is insured for 200,000 would cancel tho policy if tho guards wero not removed bo fore making tho trip. Tho removal and replacing of tho guards will cost nt least 1,00;. The crow engaged for the passage to San Francisco havo been discharged, and it is doubtful if the Olympian will bo repaired, at least for somo time to come. !Iiicli!eii?.s Arnica Salic.

Co's., the most ob jectionable features may be abandoned. Oregon, lite Ireland under control of English landlords, may suffer the blood sucking process the give-me-cvery thmg-and-, et-uothing-iu-reiuru programme for a sciuson, withont doing anything more s-erious than to show its teeth: but when it begins to feel that the niggardly injustico is to ba kept up forever, and that its very life is to be squeezed out by degrees, by a set or foreign financiers who care for nothing but their "pound of flesh," it may possiblv bite. In the days of tho old O. S. N. Co., when t he basinesi was not nearly as large as now, the stock was owned almost ex clusively in this city, and good salaries were paid good men, and reciprocation was tho order of the day. These men didn't 'want the world," yet they grow rich, says the Welcome, as did many of their employes, and Portland flourished. In those days newspapers were paid ca.ih for advertising, and would no more have been insulted with a proposition to publish time cards and "locals" for free rides than a competent employe would have been given tho alternative in his old age and after long and faithful service, of seeking other occupation or accepting a twenty psr cent reduction in his wage3. It wouldn't have been anything of a surprise during this New England su premacy to have heard that an order had reached here from tho economical men of the hub that henceforth clerks must save ink by not crossing t's and dotting i's, and that deck hands must don slip pers to save wear and tear on tho differ ent steamboats; in fact such instructions mav yet come, as the leaso of tho O.

Morgan, tho English engraver of the standard or "buzzard" dollar, animated doubtless by an ambition similar to that of -the youth who fired the Ephesiau dome smuggled into his work in two places tho initial letter of his surname, Although microscopic in size, these "Ms" are plainly discernible on the coin even to the naked eye after a careful search. An eagle-eyed Wall Btreet man recently discovered one cf these letters, nnd started among his acquaintances the fol lowing puzzle: "Find three letter 'Ms' on the standard dollar." Two aro readi ly found ono in the word "unuin" and another in tho word "America," but tho third is not so easily found. An inter view with chief Drummondof the Uni ted States secret service showed that there aro four "Ms" instead of three, and the fourth, hitherto unnoticed even by Wall street men, was pointed out to the reporter. Mr. Drummond laughed when his attention was called to tho matter, and 83id: "Tho presence of these extra letters on tho standard dollar was first brought to my notice by one of my clerks. They were, of course, cut in the die" by Morgan." The chief of tho secret servico acknowl edged that they hid not escaped tho at tention of tho counterfeiter, who hnd placed them on tho falso coins. Similar instances of tho mutilation of dies aro recalled in tho case of English and French engravers' work. Wyon, the ar tist to the English mint, many years ago. placed on tho plate of a postage stamp a "W" of so minuto a character that for years tho stamp circulated without a doubt of its perfection. Tho eventual discovery of the blemish created a sensa tion in England. Tho objectionable ad dition to tho work was promptly erased, and a stringent law passed against tho commission of a like offense In the reign of Napoleon HI nn engraver placed the initial letter of his surnamo on tho plate for a stamp. This also was of such microscopic dimensions that it escaped detection for a long time. Tho discovery of the fact led to the samo result as in tho English case.

If any one is sick in the house Mrs blump has the ability to pull over her face an expression of more woe-begone-ness than ever, shakes her head and won ders why they don't send for n doctor. She gels tho well boarders into corners and groans out premonition of death and disaster. "It's no use tryin',"' says Mrs. Slump. "The luck's nlways again me and always will be. I've buried four children, and had a scalawag of a husband, lost all my property, and hero I am."
