Well, my hero Kamiakin Was iu lovo ; you know such folly Must go in, or something's lacking In all great good rhymes emctie. Now, she dwelt in Walla Walla But her Ma was awful stuck up; And her pious dad, ascetic, 'Gainst our hero got his back up ; Aud he swore on stacks of bibles Higher thau the hay you stack up. He would sue for breeches, libels ; He would sue him, shoot him, boot him That iu fact ho didn't suit him Did'nt vote the proper ticket. Now it cost him like the nation Going from the land of cider, (You know how these Navigation Fellows charge a horse aud rider,) And, though bo was law-abiding, To be treated thus about her He declared was rather binding And that he wouldn't go without her. So ho strode a Cayuse charger With white eyes; and also whits as Foam of creamy, dreamy lager From her nostrils to her caudle ; W.th a wooly sheepskin lolding Back behind his jockey saddle WJiere tho girl could ride by holding ; Then while Dad on the piazza Read the latest act of Andy And the maid on her piana Trilled a ditty lor some dandy, "Chaco, chaco, cumtux, mike?" From afar in tones cayotc. "Ah, you bet you, cumtux, nika," Sang the maiden sotto vo-ce. With this sign the chieftain sought her For tho old man's bull-dog Touzer, Would have made it rather hut for Kamiakin, Thaue of Chowder. A Night and day they flew like arrows 'Till they passed by sweet Celilo ' Bully," ciicd the ehie, " tomolio's Sun will see us bias lolo." But tho old man missed his daughter, Vowing he would catch aud score them, Took the btcuiner, and by water Reached the Dalles the day before them. " Stop, you bummer," yelled the Daddy, While the chief lied to the river, And the Dad pursued and had a Henry rifle, bow and quiver. Then the chief wished him a beaver Big or little, didn't mind him But the gal, would you believe bcr, Stuck like wax, tight on behind him. Then she waved a wand of willow And behold the mighty river (For the inaider was a fairy) All did surge and shake and shiver. Till the bunks did kiss, or nearly. And confine the foaming billow, So they crossed without a ferry. Every column of a newspaper contains from five to twenty thousand aistmci pieces of metal, according to size of paper and type.

LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS. Them Lamps. Mr. Murray, of the "Overland," recently had manufactured a good sized lamp, to be bung in front of the hotel to afford travelers and pedes trians light in navigating the streets thereabouts these dark nights. The lamp is six feet in hiirht .and two feet wide at the bulge, and when painted and the glass put in ready fur use, will be a huge affair. It was manufactured by O. P. Tompkins & Co., and of course is well got up. Messrs. Ilauek & Mycr, of the new hotel directly opposite the "Over land," we understand, have given orders to the same firm to manufacture a lamp at least one-third larger than Murray's, and when the two are lighted npo nights people in that vicinity will have no trouble in navigating the streets, no matter bow dark it is. Bully for the lamps. Pic Is io on the Fourth op Jolt. This magnificent picture has been re ceived from the publisher of Demorest's Illustrated Magazine.

Under the heading " Spiritual Manifestation" the Salem Statesman tells the following : An engineer running a steamer on one of the tributaries of the Upper Willamette was Beizcd by the coat collar by some spirit ual influence and shook nearly out of his boots. The shaking up process ceased but to commence again, each time being more prolonged. Finally the engineer recognized the proceedings as " spiritual influence." and rushing to the boiler found it empty and an explosion immi nent. Of course the boat was run ashore, and all escaped, except those who remain ed to throw water.on the fire and hoist the safety-valve. The escape of the boat and nassensers- was most fortunate, and if spiritual manifestations always result as beneficially as iu this case, count us ia favor of " spiritual manifestations.

In Sweden the licensing of dramshops is controlled in this way : The public-house licenses for the sale of liquors are put up at auction, and are sold for cash to the highest bidder, thus becoming a consid erable source of revenue to the commu The hours or cloiirg ate nxea ana strictly adhered to. bo liquor may be sold to a child or a drunkard, and money cannot be recovered for liquor sold oa credit. The bars provide warm food, tea and coffee, and these to a certain extent supplant intoxicating drinks. This plan has been in operation for some years in different parts ef Sweden, with the following results : ; Twenty-five years ago the -annual consumption of home-made - brandy in Sweden was 25, 000,000 gallons ; now it is not more than 6,000,000. The purchases of licenses by companies began in Gottenburg in 1854, and in 1867. the Company Jiad se cured all the licenses in the city, with en tire control of the retail sales. Figures show the result in 1865, according to the polioe reports, 2,078 persons were fined for drunkenness ; in 1866, 1.423 . in 1867, , 1.375; and in 1868, 1,372. The eases of delirium tremens in the hospitals have diminished in proportion, and in this seaport of 60,000 inhabitant cases of intoxication are noW rarelj seen in the streets. .'
