There are few of the Stetes or Territories of the Union attracting more m.fgnlion than Oraga.n 1a doing. Prior to 1868, little was kmown of this Stato by the outeide world. The general impres- sions were unfavorsble. Itsremote and isolated ition rendered a correct knowledge difficult to be obtained. The prevailing opinions were, thstit rained nine months outof tho twelve; that the sun seldom made his appearance; thet the Indizns and wild beasts made life and prop- .erty unsafe; that tho peopls wore semi-savage .and web-footed; that it was s God-foreaken Iand. - Notwithstanding theso erroneous opin- jong, the population increased; farmers grew rich: merchants and bankers made forfunes; -manufsctures made progress; schools, colleges, pniversities, and churches multiplied; doctors; Iswyers, judges, statesmen, patriots, and sol- diers adorned all the walks of lifo. Brave men, feir women, and beautiful children sre the gon- .eal characteristics of the inhebitants. The Provisional Government, formed in 1845, he Territorial Government organized in 1848, “and the Constitution adopted in 1859, were founded on the strictest principles of . civil and religious liberty, and the sacred rights of “life and property, by men who knew how to approci- ato trus liberty, and how to defend it. . Froedom, fesod-on intelligence and virtue, justice and equity, is favorable to stability and growth, pro- gross and prosperity. This has been the histo- 1y of Oregon—slow, surs, and permanent. In 1848, when the Provisional Government was started, the population was about 4,000. In 1848, when the Territorial Govornment was or- ganized, tho population numbered about 12,465. 1859, when Orcgon was received into the Tnion" 85 atate, the population counted 52,000. And in 1870, the census returns made the popu- 90,878. It is now incressing at the rate of 5,000 ayear. & ZLand has advanced during the last two years from 50 to 100 per cent. Real estate, in the cities £nd lsrge towns, haa advanced an average of 100 per cent during tho seme time, with & steady tendencyupward. From those facts, it can bo excily inferred that the farmers and business in- terests of tho State generally arejn a prosperons condition, and the prospects ahead aro 8s en- . couraging aa the past two yearshave beeri profit- able. None but thoso who have travelled over the Btste can form any conception of its present ‘prosperity and future progress. 3 A brisk business was driven in the Columbia RBiver in 1872 by the ealmon-catchers. There were taken between April 1 and Aug. 1, for can- ning purposes, 170,000 fish, weighing when dressed 2,700,000 pounds, . meking 56,250 boxes of 48 pounds each, and worth, st wholesale market-prices, $£432,000. The salmon taken for curing purposes, during the samo sesson, amounted in number to 162,500, weiching when dressed 2,600,000 ponnds, mak.. ing 13,000 barrels of 200 pounds each, and worth £117,000. The total number of salmon taken on the Lower Columbia River, during the sezaon of four months, amounted to 832,600, weighing 5,300,000 pounds, and- worth £549,000. Thers were slso largo numbors secat to merkot for sslo fresh. - BATLROADS. 1In the fall of 1808, Mr. Holladay made ample prepirations for commencing to build the Oregon & California Railrosd, which were put into sctive operation in the spring of 1969. In September, 1570, the railroad was completed to Salem, the _Capital of tho State,—51 miles. In October, 1871, it was built to Eugene City, at the head of the Willamette Valley,—125 miles. It is now finished a8 far s Roseburgh, (198 miles from Portland. - The Oregon & Central Railroad, that runs on the West side of the Willamette Valley, wes commenced in 1871, and is built as far asthe Town of St. Joseph, on the Yamhill River,—40 miles from Portland. It will be continued to Junction City,—120 miles,—whonce it will join the East Side Road going south, at the head of the Willamette Vnfiey. A branch line is to be built from McMinnville to Astoria, near the moath of tho. Columbis River,—78 miles Ing:that will run though the xich beautifal Nehalem Valley.” When these liea are completed, it will give 578 mniles of rail- | rordtothoe State, 340 miles of which aro now completed and in good running order.

S — ‘Tho Faults of Dogs. From Cornhill, Bat of all tho current mistakes sbout dogs, the most oxasperating is the vulgar ono that they have no faulis, that ll their virtues are mere matters of course, and that we may expect every dog to be magnanimous and courageous, as wo expect a table' to be firm, or a drawer to open snd shut, ' The grand Wattsian aphorism, It is_thoir nature to," oxhausts the popular phtiloso hy iflt tbu‘ suh{iecl, lmidtha mess- est cad w a dog ' condescending] on the 'hoad “for o suck - of - horotm ‘which he could not himseif perform to save a drowning universe. To understand how good are dogs, it is absolately necessary (as- Hegol would toll us) to recognize slso their badness. We must se that the “‘best of dogs has his faults,” if wa would appreciato the merita which. redeem from absolute contempt even the most pusillanimous _cur. I have used the word *fanlts,” but I am not sure that we might not oqually properly speak of the ‘crimes of dogs, for the turpitude of some of their actions cer- tainly suspasses mere failuroin Justico or boney- olence. cre ere traitor dogs who have basely accepted bribes of raw meat end re- mainedsilent when it was their imgemfive duty a8 sentinels t6 challengo tho intruder with the londest of barks.

Worse than such ordinary traitorous acts was that of a dog of whom I have heard, whose hoart, previousty fall of “the milk besn turned to of camine kiudness, had tho caresses lavished on gall by belolding & toy-terrier nowly sequired by tho family in ‘whose affections the hardy mastiff had-hithorto reigned supreme and elone. ~ TFrom the reports furnished the of the judicial inquiry which fol- | Jowed the crimo (and to which only tho genius of AL, Gaborian could do - adequate _justice), it geems that-the little dog was missed for several days, and his absenco bewailed, whilo somethin, in the demenuor of the big dog suggestod to al edy hiad occur- ound woll-nigh buried under the uite awaro of what had befallen his rival, and that he Iacked the generosity to deliver him, or evon to draw attention to gm The old Egyptian law, which punished as mur- derers in the second degree men who witneased s murder and did nothing l:lrre\'anl it, would undoubtedly hava fallen heavily on such s dog ; nor can wo den: (thonfh itisa dreadful thing to say of-a dog) that the people who geo wives beaten to death and never call the police, much less stir a fisger ‘to help thom. 7y deplorablo cage. 00 was almost 23 bad as The Fashion of Perfumes, Perfumes are again in fashion.

In_ the reign_of Lonis XIV., the act of poisoning by this means had reached such perfection, and persons had become such adepts in their use, that it ¥as dan- gerous to partake of or use anything which did not come through trusty hands. Some of Louis’ nearest relations perished by poisons supposed tohave bsen i fruits, or perfumes. To mix & subtle poisan in a favorite perfumoe waa a common modo of re- moving one who had become obnoxions. Long ero Louig' time, Catharine de Medicis . was ac- cused of ‘(musmg the death of the Huguenot Queen, Jeanne d _of perfumed poisoned gloves, istered in emuffs, liquors, "Albret, by the present of & pair _Tho gtary goes that Anne of Austria, the ‘mother of Louis XIV., suffered from. an - offen- sive disease, and being fastidiously particalar not to be disagreeable to herself or others, she lived in alMost an artificial atmosphere, so heary was the air about her always with scents. The court followed her lead, and the lady of feshion of that dav revelled in swaata. Ona reasoa of o} amusement becomes a handmaig to education; Louis XIV.'s disliketo them is said to have béen their excessive use by his mother. They have always Leen more or less in favor. Our great-grandmothors used little'silver boxes which they wc-o attached to their girdles, called pomander boxea. Sometimes thase_boxes were round like a ball, perforated with holes, and hav- ing chains by which they wero swung.

From * Sea-faring Hen,” an vnpublished Talcof the Seu; by Hector 4. Gtuart, " We had now been three days in the harbor of Bombay, and in that time had made sevoral ox- cureions to points of interest in the vicinity. Among these wepaid a visit to n small island about six milés from the Mahratta shore, on which there stood the hugo figuro of an elephant cat out of & black rock. -The figure, when we £awit, wosmuch decayed, and I have since learned, has fallen—the jsland thus losing one of its chief monuments. . It was from_this image that the island received its name —Elophanta— from the Pnrtuguue, who, when landing, in tho dsys of Albuquerque, wore astounded’ at thia great, image, tho product of Hindoo skill and fenaticiem. It Lappened while we wero prowling round the.image that tho boatswain bade us listen, and Inid his hand on the lock of his, musket. We listened, and imitated his movement. After tho lapse of a minute we heard & shrill whistle, aud looking whence it camo, saw & largo groon lizard basking on & rock within.a few feet of theimage. -The boatawain saw it first, and raised his musket; but beforo he fired o Tonka man who was with us tried to frighten the animal by striking it with o switch he carried. It was a sorry blow for him. The creature turned, and running over his foet, which waro bare, bit him in the calf of his right leg, at tho samo instant the hoatswain's pieco was_discharged, the byl striking tho spot Iately ocenpied by the animal, which escaped in the jungle. The poor man who was bitten no soomer feli the fangs of the creature pierco hid flesh than ho uttored a cry of anguish, and immediately fell to_the ground i convulsions. - We at once harried to his aid end did all we could to ellay his suffering, but tho poigon had ontered his bldod, aud he diedin loss than twenty-five minutes after he had been bit~ ten. We were astonished at tho oxtraordinary virulence of the poison, which even excoeded the mosat venomous serpents ; but onr surprise was ended whon wo learned thet the creature whenco it proceeded was the Gecke so wall known in Egypt as s ‘deadly reptile. We were conversing about it over the corpae of the Tonka man when again an ominous cry warn- ed us of its presence. We started, seized our firelocks, and looked about for the enemy. Prosently it was secn issuing from tho junglo and Iookine upon us with eyes of fearful mal- evolence. We shuddered, for the remom- brance of its fatal vature was fresh in our minds ; but the boatswain called for a rally. We gave it with a will. Eighteen muskets opencd on the reptile, which rolled over on its sido | riddled with o shower of bullets. Its struggles wera short—aftor a few gasps it lay stark, dead. We then went up and took a look at the crea- tifre. It was about thirteen inches in length, shaped like a Balamander; its skin of a Bea- green color, dotted with spots of - deep crimson. Ita head was like that of & tortoise; the mouth straight; the eyes large and oven in death strangely brilliant, whence I believe that it 3808868 pOwer of charming not only animals, but man himself.

Its legs were armed with claws 8nid to be poisonons; in fact, the whole syatem of this hideous raptile 18 rife with yenom, end the Indians told us that wher- ever it passed itleft a track of death, Ithsunts ruine and the stems of cld troos, lives chiefly o2 ants, and is most active after rain. It then utters o cry liko gecko, from which it has derived its nate. Its bite is fatal, unless the wound be burnt with a red-hot iron orcat out, & proceeding which we neglected in tho caso of tho Tonks man, if indced it would havo done him any good. The reptile is very fond of £alt, and our boatswain told us in Grand Cairo, where the creature is_common, Mo knew of & whole houschold being killed from _eating o fow grains of salt on which the gecko had shed its vonom, Even its lood is poisonous ; the Javanese ns- ing it to tincturo their arrow-heads, the mero touch _of which produces a wound which, if un- cauterized, resultsin death.
