Death of a Herculean Old Man.
Isaac Eaton, aged 95 years, died on
'Christmas, at his residence near South
Send, Indiana. He was a soldier of the
war of 1812, and was at Washington
when that city was captured by the Brit
ish. In his younger days Mr. Eaton was
a man of great strength. The South
Bend Register, in speaking of this char
acteristic of his, says :
In the war of 1812 Eaton served with
the Virginia militia, under tho command
of General Mason, a Virginian, born in
the same county with Eaton, about twelve
years his junior, and the most popular
man in the army. It is very probable
.that military discipline was very lax in
those times, and one day, at a general re
view, Mason rode up and down the lines,
proclaiming that he had a man in his
command who could whip anything in
the whole army. This challenge, several
times repeated, was at length respond
.ed to; by a perfect giant of a fellow
from a Pennsylvania regiment, who
came. stalking down the lines, and
asked General Mason to bring out his
man. The General ordered Eaton out of
the ranks. He was eyed by the Penn
Bjlvaaian with about as much scorn as
Goliath was supposed to have looked up
on David.' Word was given to begin the
battle, and there, before the whole Amer
ican, army, formed in a holL w square,
the two men stripped to the waist and
began the combat j but, in less time than
it takes to tell it, Eaton lifted his hercu
lean opponent from the ground, and,
twirling him over with apparently as
much ease as a dandy would a cane, held
him np before the whole army in this in
verted position, until the giant Pennsyl
vaman begged for quarter. At another
time, in, Kentucky, Eaton was forced to
accept a challenge to fight, and on the
first encounter threw his opponent to the
' ground with such force as to break nearly
au ma nos.
A Blind Senator. George C. Pea

Oregon, the Poor Man's Country.
The follow mz remarks, under the
above caption, are from that spicy litjtfe'
journal, the San Francisco Figaro ; 1
Since the scarcity of work and high
rents must unavoidably compel thousands
to leave the city, - the serious question
arises, Where are they to go ? The Bul
letin advises them to "go to the country,"
but to what quarter? Where can - they
find lands for settlement t What portion
of the productive domain is not already
occupied and improved, or in possession
of the grabbers, who demand more than
the poor settler can afford to pay ? Where
can he find rest and establish for himself
a home ?
We answer, to Oregon, to Washington
Territory, while there are vast areas of
unoccupied lands as fertile as the richest
valleys of California, and which are still
available to the settler at Government
prices. The tourist who ascends Mount
Hood ean overlook a territory of bewil
dering magnitude, of prodigious fertili
ty, capable of sustaining ten millions of
people, and still comparatively nninhab
ited. We will refer only to the valley of
the Willamette, 2U0 miles long, 50 miles
wide, seven-eighths of the whole expanse
susceptible of cultivation, and not more
than one-fifth has ever been disturbed by
the plow, ibis great valley, as fertile as
the lands bordering the Nile, is inhabited
by some 30,000 people: it would sustain
a million. And this is only one of the
great agricultural regions that invite the
settler to the North, and which in the
lifetime of some now living, will comprise
one of the richest agricultural communi
ties in the Union.
It is a short-sighted policy that would
over-crowd our own State with landless
inhabitants, who must exist merely as
tenants at the will of great land-owners,
while there is a vast empire of latent
wealth inviting them to a sister State.

iKEsus ob .Munchausen f An im
aginative or unusually well-informed
advocate of a deflection of the Union
Pacific railroad southward to the thirty
second parallel, gives the Missouri i?e-
publican a most glowing account of the
wealth of the Mexican States of Du
rango and Chihuahua. He tells of t
citizen of the latter State who has a sil
ver mine of fabulous richness, for which
a California company have vainly offered
him two million dollars. I his wealthy
Cbihuahuan is called Don Cordero. He
lives in a style of extravagant magnifi
cence, but even to supply all the luxuries
which he has habituated himself to use,
he only works his mine a few days at odd
times. His suite of rooms in his mag
nincent establishment are described as
splendid beyond comparison. They are
said by this correspondent to be support
ed by columns of pure silver -one and a
half feet in diameter and twenty-five feet
in hight ! The same correspondent ac
credits Zombrano, Governor of Durango,
with a mine from which he has skimmed
fifty millions and paid eleven millions
royalty. These and other asserted facts
are related as reasons why the govern
ment should aid a southern l'acihc Kail
road. Would not it seem, if we accept
the correspondents statements as true
that Messrs. Cordero, Zombrano, and
their co-crcesus of Durango and Chihua

ment to aid in the enterprise. Would it
be impertinent to inquire how much those

Mining Under the. SA--There is

shafts extend many hundred yards under
the sea. The moaning or the waves as
they dash against the rock is forever
sounding in those gloomy aisles. , When

Josh Billing on Choosing a Husband.
1. The man who iz jcllus ov every
little attenshun yu git from sum other
fellow, yu will find, after yu are married
tew him, luvs himself more than he duz
u, and what yu. mistook for sohssitude,
yu will diskover, has changed into indif
ference. Jellusy isn t a hart disease : it
iz a liver komplaint.
2. A mustash iz not indispensible : it
iz only a little more hair, and iz a good
deal like moss and other excresences
often duz the best on sile that won't raize
ennything else. Don't forgit that those
hings which yu admire in a leuow be
fore marriage, yu will probably hav tew
admire in a husband after, and a mustash
will git to be a very week diet after a
long time.
3. If husbands could be took on trial,
az Irish cooks are, tew-iniras oi tnem
would probably be returned ; but there
don't seem to be enny law fur this.
Tharefore, girls, yu will see that after yu
git a man, yu hav got tew keep him,
even if- yu lose on him. Consequently,
if yu bay got enny cold vittlcs in the
house, try him on them, once and awhile,
during scouring seeson, and if he swat
ters them well, and sez he will take some
more, he iz a man who, when blue Mon
dav cums, will wash well. '
- ... . .
4. Don t marry a pheller who iz aiwuz
a telling how hiz mother duz things. It
iz az hard to suit these men az it iz tew
wean a yung one. '
5. If a yung man can beat you playing
on a planner, and kant hear a nsn horn
playing in the street without turning a
back summersett on account ov the mu-
sick that is in him, he might answer to
tend tho babe, but if you set him a hoe
ing out the garden, yu will find that yu
hav got to do it yurself. A man wbos
whole heft lies in music (and not very
helfty at that), am t no better for a hus
band than a seedhtz powder, but it he
luvs tew listen while yu sing sum gentle
ballad, yu will find him mellow, and so
soft. But don't marry ennybody for jist
one virtew enny quicker than yu would
flop a man for list one fault.
b. It is one ot the most tunest things
fur a female to be an old maid success
fully. A grate menny haz tried it, and
made a bad job of it. Everybody seems
to look upon old maids just az they de
upon dried barbs in the garret, hand
for sickness and, tharefore, girls, it ain't
a mistake that yushood be willin to swop
yurself oph with sum troo phellow tur
troo husband. 1 he swop iz a good one,
but don't swop fur enny man who iz re
spectable iist because his father iz. Yu
had better be an old maid for 4 thousand
yeres, and then jine tho Shakers, thau to
bi repentance at this prise. JNo woman
ever made this trade whodidn't giteither
phool, a mean cuss, or a clown fur
husband.
7. In digging down into this subject I
find the digging grows harder the further
git. It iz mutch easier tew inform yu
who not tew marry, than who tew, fur
the reason thare is more ov them.
I don't think yu will foller mi advice,
if I giv it; and tharefore I will keep it;
for I look upon advice as I do upon cas
tor-rile a mean dose tew giv and a mean
dose tew take.
But I must say one thing, girls, or
spile : If yu can had a bright-eyed,
healthy and well-ballasted boy, who looks
upon poverty as sassy as a child looks
upon welth who had rutber sit down on
the curbstun, in front of the 5th avenue
hotel, and eat a ham sandwich, than tew
go inside and run in debt for his dinner
and toothpick one who iz armed with
that kind of pluck which mistakes a de
teat for a victory, my advice is to take
him body and sole snare him at wunst
for he iz a stray trout,- uv a breed very
skarse in our waters.
Take him, I say, and bild onto him, az
hornets bud onto a tree.

' Crisis." Hudson, of the California
Legislature, recently introduced a resolu
tion commencing, " Whereas, a crisis has
arrived in the American Government,"
etc., which gives Prentice Mulford occa
sion, to tkji"s'':T i ? 'iJ"K 'J'.'-ift
I believe . the American Government
has ever since its formation been in a
state of crisis. It has never been out of
one in my recollection. I first became
conscious ot politicsn Harrison, " Tippe-canoe-and-Tyler-too
' era. That was a
time of crisis. Well, sir, the crisis has
run on and on like a protracted meeting
ever since. There was once in my lite j
time a cessation ot the crisis. It was
hile I was out of the live world on a i
whaling voyage. But then, you see, that
was on account ot my getting out of the
country, and consequently out of the cri
sis. When I arrived home it was going
on just the same as ever. Indeed, they
said then it was worse, for the secession 1
ebulition had commenced. Well, when
that was settled, I did think it was over.
But no. Mr. Hudson, of Sonoma coun
ty, has received it, and says that his
particular crisis is of a more " acrid and
alarming nature than any preceeding
it." The crisis is an American institu
tion. It is necessary, inherent, national,
invetable. I welcome it. I like it. It
is to me familiar, time-honored and over
grown with old associations. '
Eccentric Prayers. Some very ec
centric expressions were used in the
prayers of the clergymen of the last cen
tury. An Edinburg minister was in
clined to grumble when he prayed, "Give
us not evil to think Thee neglectful of
Thine own, for we are Thine own family,
and we have been but scurvily provided
for this long time. ,
The following is a specimen of a bap
tismal prayer : "Lord, bless and preserve
this young calt, that be may grow an ox,
to draw in Christ s plough."
We wonder whether the municipal
gallery was occupied when Mr. .brskine
prayed thus : "Oh, Lord, have mercy
upon all fools and idiots, and particularly
on the Magistrates ot Hdinburg.
Mr. Dickson once indulged in the fol
lowing kitchen garden allegory : "Dibble 1
Thou the kail of Tby grace into our
hearts, and if we grow not up to the
stature of good kail, Lord make us good
sprouts at least.
Another ot something in the same
style was the following: "Unless our
heartsare mulched with the sham (dung)
ot grace we shall never thrive.

The Hon. Jno. E. Sanford, Insurance Commis
sioner of Massachusetts, in his Report for 1868, j
I speaking of Dividends In Life Insurance Compa
nies, say , f The sooner such guarantees cease
to be made, and such expectations created, the
sooner Life Insurance will come to rest on its true
motive, and men insure their lives for security.
and not for dividends. The best and the most
popular companies will then be those that prom
ise only equity, and render all that they promise,
and furnish the beet security, with tbe most up
right and judicious management. : :

GAY" PL.OWS,
Manufactured and sold for the very low price of
$65 and T.
THE simplicity and practicability of this new
Plow commends it favorably to the special
notice of every farmer. . It possesses a decided
superiority over all other plows now in use. Tbe
wbeels are four feet in diameter, and run en tbe
unplowed land. Its entire construction is ia no
way complicated. Tbe plow is managed in every
manner with ease, and requires only two lever
to be used in making any alteration. Tbe supe
riority ot the "Gay" Flow will be clearly shown
by the following certificate : ,
We, the undersigned, citisens of Linn eountv.
Oregon, having purchased and used upon our
farms the "Gay" Plow, hereby certify that tho
sa me has given us entire satisfaction. Its facility
for adjusting to suit tbe depth of furrow without
moving from the seat, is simple and easy. We
like the plow for its draught, because the same i
brought to bear directly upon the plow-beam in
stead of the carriage ; also, because it it strong
aad durable, all except the wood-work beiogreon-
strueiea oi wrougbt won no castings are used.
The wheels runniag upon the solid land i aa ad- '
vantage over other gang-plows, in striking onT'
land and in plowing, not baring to make the nec
essary changes in tho machinery, and the seat ia
always level, sot thr wing the driver forward or
sideways as in other plows. Better work and
more of it can be accomplished by the use of thsa
flow tnan by band.
rWe take pleasure in recommending the "Oir"
Ptow to our brother farmers, as one having o
superior in Oregon.
