Gen. Joseph Lane whose death last week In 
Oregon was chronicled by a line In the dispatches, 
was a candidate for the Vice-Presidency In i 860 , 
on the ticket headed by Breckenrldge and nom¬ 
inated at Baltimore, a senator from Oregon from 
1859 to 1861 , governor or the State In 1863, and a 
major-general In the Mexican war. 
Mr. Walklns Is a Sacremento artist. His most 
ambitious painting, a landscape with cows, was 
sold at auction for $530, and he was elated at the 
price. The purchaser was the proprietor of a 
dairy farm, and he placed the picture In his win¬ 
dow with a sign painted on each of the pictur¬ 
esque cows: “ Morgan's pure milk producer.” 
The artist sought to stop this use of his work, but 
was advised that the present owner could do as he 
pleased with It. 
As a test of the personal concern which mem¬ 
bers of the British Government have In land laws, 
we may note the possessions of some of them. 
Mr. Gladstone Is the possessor of T.000 acres: the 
Marquis of Hartlngton Is heir to 200,060 acres; 
Earl Spencer owns 27,ooo; Earl Kimberley, 11,000 ; 
Lord Northbrook, 10.000; Mr. Dodson, 30,000; Lord 
Huntley. 90,000; other members have lesser es¬ 
tates, and Mr. Bright Is tho only prominent, man 
in the Cabinet wbo has no landed possessions in 
fee worth mentioning. The Duke of Argyl. who 
has retired, owns 175,ooo acres, but hla rental Is a 
little more than a fourth of the Duke of Devon¬ 
shire’s.

Upon being spoken to concerning St. Jacobs oil, 
our fellow townsman Mr. Theodore Wakelee, said: 
I had been suffering with rheumattsm, and ob¬ 
tained the greatest relief from tho use of St. Ja¬ 
cobs Oil. It has already been used In my family 
for some time, and hits never been found to fall In 
giving prompt relief.
