Wen we asked whit we comiiler a hard t i.il, we ihould promptly reply : To drew line lor the average Portland publisher, wherj hit diehooeit greed (or money will ttop. The greatest fraud run hire himself editorially lauded an honest, ntimable citiaen, by paying the required blood money to theae journalistic parasite. A moat un scrupulous, ignorant quack doctor, whose drunken orgies have made him rather notoriuus and a fa vorite with hie stripe, found his patronage drop ping off, the direct result of our repeated attacks on that elans of vampires. The doctor (.) wan about to emigrate to fresher tields and pastures new, and fortunately for bin) found here in Port land, the metropolis of Oregon, corrupt Journals, who for the consideration of a few paltry dollars, willfully polluU their columns by editorially en dorsing this fallow as "a distinguished aud skillful physician and eminent leoturer." They also si press regret at his leaving us, how much we'll miss him, and print a lot of stuff In his favor, which is not seconded by a single respectable reel dent of this city. These notices will, of course, be reprinted In the local Journals wherever this quack may locate, and be the means of deceiving people as to bU true character. If any one of the publisher of the Journals that contained these no licea has any conscience left, he will rue the day when he became party to a fraud, which may be the means of sending thousands of innoeeut peo ple to untimely graves. (Juackery and Ignorance go together, llefore us lias a circular, in which the so-called Doctor pro teases U cure all diisasaa at a charge of from to) cents up to 14. Of course some show of education must be made, so this quack opeua his remarks with, "Nihil deaperandum," which he uses instead of "nil deeperaadum," which means "never U epeir." Again, k wind, up hie advertisement with "L'Eavoy," which he use Instead of "L Envoi." In his oomp siUon, also, this party how. ig not a in He writ that he -should of answered before" bad b not been "so unfortunate as to loos ail his circulars by fire." We need not speak farther of this or any other quack; MM of them should be allowed to tamper with human bodies, lor ami of them are not at to doc lor a sick male.

The yard, which, before that tar-mash was poured over the walks, and before dandelions aud other weeds crowded out a growth of besuliful grass, was known as the lawn, will especially please Ton Ming to dry lineu on. Ton Ming ought lo be given a ohanre. He pays road and other Usee, is quite an inoffensive rltisen, doee'nt afflict us with 4th of July and other ora tions, minds his own business and has no otAer help from the (inverument. He owns no real es tate, and the Custom House basement would be Just thecbeeaa for him.

The an oied oharming piece of sarcasm, laksu from Thf .4 runnou', is a just rebuke to that class of siokly sentimeuUlists who "slobber over" avary criminal and Anally have the impudence to assure us, as iu th ease of one Cook, hung at the Hellas a fi-w month, ago, thai having declared repen tance, he thereby secured a through ticket for heaven, with a reserved front seat. In fact, under penally of being by them looked upon es an atheist, we are aipscted to believe that Ihe sprmit. ing of ih angel's wings takes plsne simulta neously with the tightening of the hangman's knot about the neck : "Mr. Anderson, lbs gentlema who rendered important service to Mr. Troy llye in performing ties Tullls murder, Is reported by his "spiritual ad viser" as having given evidence of "deep religious conviction" Just before "dylug a triumphant and Christian death" tangled In a rope.
