STARVING IN THE ~ Woops.—The
Portland Oregonian gives an account
ofa mat who started some time since
to go from Astoria to Monticello. He
got lost in the woods, his commissary
stores gave out, and for twenty days
he traveled living on berries and roots,
At the end of that time he arrived at
the mouth of the Klaskanine river»
about thirty miles from Astoria. Having lived so long almost exclusively on
berties, he was very nearly in a condition to be buried when found. Hither
from exposure or fright. the poor fellow’s hair and beard had got loose, so
that upon the mere touch they would}
fall out. Altogether, he was the sorriest specimen of whom we have any
account smncethe days when Nebuchadnezér went out to grass.
ImporTANT TRADS.—The announce
mentthat a large quantity of California blankets have been ordered from
the East is important. If they can be
made here at a cost that will afford
them shipment East, the effect will be
te build up a large manufacturing interest. on this coast, The California
blankets are the best. manofactured,
and ot course will bring the best price ;
go that if the difference is not too great,
a market may be found for them
throughout all the Northern States.
Wool-is cheaper here than at the East,
which makes up the difference in the
cost of labor ; and it would be an im¢
mense advantage to this State if our
wool product could all be manufactured
at home, instead of shipping the raw
material East.
CaLivoRNiaA BLANKETS. A San
Francisco dispatch to the Record, says
A. T. Stewart, the dry goods king of
New York, has ordered from the Mission and Pacific Woolen Mills a, large
quantity of the best make of California
blankets. The order is expected te-taxing at least two and a half or three
the capacity of both the mills, from
now until January next, to the utmost.
W.hen shipped in bales, there will be
about sixty car, loads, of 600 tons. It
ig -expected that this contract will
make the wool market more lively, as
the necessary Stock’ ismotinhand. It
is rumored on thé streets that the Capital Woolen Mills will be leased, ip order to carry out the agreement in time.

is confirmed: ‘The excitement in Euemploy thirty-six hands, of whoin half
are Chinamen and the others whites.
The cost* of running the mills, with
this force, is about five thousand dollars more than would be the costof running mills of the same capacity at the
East, but the lower price of wool enables the owners to offset the cheaper
labor at the East, and léave them a
small margin for profit.
Mrxonity REPRESENTATION— The
majority in Ulinois. for that clause of
the Constitution providing for minority
representation is said to be 20,000. Considering that the question is new, and
that the American people are slow to
make radical changes, it is a matter of
surprise that it was adopted. We attribute its adoption to the fact that the
question wes not made a party issue,
and was decided on its merits, according to the best judgment of the voters,

PARTMENT.—The Secretary of the Interior perpetrated a huge joke the other day on that sagacious Sioux warrior—Red Cloud. They had been dis.
cussing the relative tempora) advantages aud well being of the white and

expressed some surprise at the wealth
of the whites, wondering what inducement the plunder of a few Indians
could be toa nation so -rich and prospressed himself as anxious to enjoy a
little of that prosperity he saw aroun
him. Said he. “The Great Spirit sent
the Indians into the prairies naked ;
He raised them just as ‘they are, but

put wealth into your hands; bat i am

when young was left possessed by his

circumstances of the period favored the
development of his revolutionary disposition. He became an active: member
and underwent a year’s imprisonment
for privately manuiactaring gunpowder.
in 1889 he made, in company wish
other daring associates, an audacious
attempt at insarrection. They first
attacked and carried a police station.
During the conflict Lieut. Drouineau,
who commanded the post, fell mortally
wounded; Barbes, who was. also
-wounded, was arrested, tried, and convieted -of murder, and sentenced to
death. At the last moment, and when
he bad already taken leave of his
friends, his-eepience was commuted by

Government was condemned to banisbment for life. When the Russian war
