Peoria,' Ul.,vOct. 23d, 1870.
Little Itijun still exir.t!, and the peo
ple of Oregon, perhaps, are not aware that
he bid his' tilicums a sad, sad, good-bye
in last July, and, after Mrs. Injun had
cried whole pints of bitter tars (which
rolled down her dirty cheeks and drop
ped on the floor like beans') he mounted
a one-eyed cay use horse, took a last look
at the dear old mountains, where, as
uiot of 3our readers are aware, lie fought
the bloodthirsty savages, and in his liap
pier hours amused himself by sharpen
ing his scalping knife where the new
country which my pen has so often aN
tempted to describe, sleeps in beauty,
with here and there a Pioneer's cabin to
relieve the eye a country yet destined
to be filled with the sound of hammer and
the whittle of the locomotive and the
noise of ever alvancmg civilization.
I arrived at the Dalles and changed
my horse for the steamer to Portland.
I have often ridden up and down the
Columbia river, yet the knowledge of the
fact that I should soon be separated from
our grand scenery, caused mc to gaze
with sublime and tender feelinss on the
grindncss of the scenery. Mount Hood,

The Oregon Leglalatarc Aoroad.
Says the Euzene Journal: "While
the Oregon Legislature, which has just
closed its session, was not passing upon
partisan legislation in the interests ot the
Democratic party, or voting away "the
people's money to hungry Democratic
office-seekers, it was trying, it would
seem, to gain the displeasure of the ad
ministration by insulting the bravest and
truest of its supporters and defenders.
The insult attempted by this Legislature
to General Sherman is commented on by
many Eastern papers. The following
from the Philadelphia Enquirer, of Sept.
2Gth, is a specimen of these comments:
On the ground that the members of
the Legislature of the far-away State of
Oregon have .not heard of the European
war, they must be forgiven the stupid
assertion that "a civil power is under no
obligations to the military." This
extraordinary language was evoked by a
resolution inviting "Geperal Sherman to
visit the capital of Oregon. In their
assumed wisdom, dignity and courage,
the Solous of Oregon disgraced their
State, insulted a tried, true and talented
servant of the Union, and wrote them
selves down as dunces by their preposter
ous assertion, which all the world knows
is untrue. The civil authority of Qregon
is under obligations, aye, and great ones,
too, to no less a person than that selfsame
General whom, in its pitiful littleness,
it sought to slight. We believe that
the brave and strong men of the far
Northwest will, at the earliest possible
moment, dispense with the public services
of the men who, in their official capacity,
did tl.eir best to insult so talented a sol
dier and valuable a citizen as William T.
Sherman.

the feeble and debilitated. As a
tonic and cordial for the aged

among stomachics. As a remedy
for the nervous weakness to
which women are especiay jr snb

then leave
was just opening aud go down into
; French G u'.ch, where ! tlic thcruiotneter
stood at 110 in the shade, and harvest
; had been over a month. Soon Chico was
; reached ; then we took the cars, aud Lit
tic Injun must say that when in the
! mountains after Indians he had experi
i euced some roujh life, yet, a stage ride
i from Portlaud to Chico is the worst thing
j he ever tried. As I was so tired and
! sleepy I could not keepawjke going into
Sacramento, but 1 jl lintr asleep awoke to
fiud my hat gone. San Ftaucisco was at
last gained, I went to my room ; thought
I would lie down on the bed and rest
I until supper-time, but awoke just in time
for .supper the next day. I staid in San
Francisco five-days. It is by far the
prettiest City I saw on my route. The
i.iy is covered with vessels. The masts
of the ships seem so thick as to remind
me of the timber in the mountains. I
might have found a Ccar, but from the fact
I hadn't lost any, and was not armed.
Left San Francisco Mouday, Aug. 4 h,
and passing over the Sierra Nevada's,
was soon rushiug with lightning speed
down the long eastern slope. Arriving
at Salt Lake, we rueutioned the matter of
the iuhtuess of hamrinir Iriham. The
Mormous advised Little Injun to "dry
up," which he did till the cars started,
and then he called them mile, and was
lappy '
From Salt Lake to Omaha there's noth

antelope. From Omaha to Chicago,
passed thousands ot acres Dt coin. Iowa
is a very pretty country. From Chicago
Jio Titusville, Fa. Hero we found "ila."
Iitusville is a place of about nine thous
and inhabitants a very pretty place by
the way. The wells are gcucrally about
900 feet deep, and some of them will
yield as much as 400 gallons of oil pcrday.
The cars, streets, churches, and stores
smell of "ile;"the air is impregnated
with if, and the people talk of it, think
of tiothiug else, aud dream of it. Thous
ands of derricks are to be seen. The oil
comes up with about equal quantities of
very Fait water. It is a thick, muddy
looking: fluid, in its crude state. The
fires for the boilers arc kept going by the
tras from off the oil.
From Titusville, wc came to this city-
At Smithville we found many friends

LITTLE INJUX.
A correspondent of the Uostou 7 rant
iript has heard from an old resident at
Xahant a queer rat story. The inform
ant was for a long time a resident upon
the most aristocratic portion of the
peninsula ; and, in the good old days,
when the big Xathau hotel was consider
ed the resort, jtar exrelcnee, for the ton
in the region, as well as fiom abroad, he
noticed ou one occasion that rquads . of
rats, old aud young, uiade their way
early in the season over from ' Lyon,
across the beach, shortly after the tide
of fashiou set in, in good earnest at tbc
hotel, lie watched them, and saw other
squads of these vermin following after
ward, in the footsteps of their predeces
sors, until, at length, from their coming
as the wave come, they accumulated in
numbers, until, during the later season,
their name was legion there. As soon
as the season was over, in the cold Fall
months, the more singular fact was ob
served that this army of rats were retir-
injr from the vicinity of the well
larders of the hotel, and scamperin
in platoons, from Nahant to Lyim again
until the fcnmtner inlesteu premises
became entirely deserted by them. But
only when the last visitors had departed
from the house. This turious migration
of the Lyun rats continued for several
years. Once he beheld the remarkable
spectacle of a bi, old rat, cairying a
long straw in his mouth, gripped ia the
center ; and on each side of the venerablo
checsp- cater were young rats holding the
Miss Pbebe Coushks, Esq. Miss
Phebe Cousins Esq., of St Louis. This
young woman, who is studying .Is ia
Missouri, is I should say, looking at her
through my opera glass, aboat twetity
one years of age. Sm U tall, well formed
and possessed of strikingly hsnasosne
face. The chin rouuds Bt little to
much, but makes the bsse to necessary
to a determined character. Tbe'tawwthy
expressive enough, suffers from the chin,
and inclines to dish- The face oval, r
ther long, and the nose like General
lremont, fails to assert itself sufficiently.
But a woman, with a delicate complex
ion and a glorious f air of eye, such as
Miss Couzin has, is beautiful. Her hair
is of the raven hue, and her heary eye
brows and lashes give force to one of the
most iutellcctoa) faees I ever looked on.
She approached the stand with tifsid
gracefulness, that won all hearts before
she said a wcrd and then assuming ap
parently without design, an exquisite
pose, elie opened her lips, and the sweet
voice came ringing out like coins dropped
down a many-fathomed well.
By Jove, there is no use ia attemptinc
to criticise that address. All knowledge;

StoM'INO N ewsi'APKBS. 1 here is a
right way and a wrong way to do every
thing to stop a newspaper or anything
else. One of our exchanges has the right
idea when it says :
Vou have an undoubted right to -stop
a newspaper whenever you are disposed
upon payment of all arrearages. lo not
hesitate to Uo so on account oi any - icu

ho n-milil stnn bu vintr. suzar of Tou, or
meat, clothing or dry goods, etc , u ue
thought he was not getting his money s
worth: And when you discontinue a
paper do it manfully. Don't be so pitiful
as to throw it back to the postmaster
with a contemptuous "I don t want it
aiiy Jonscr," and have "refused written
ou the margin and have tne paper return

stopped a paper in that way, n .'matter !
if his head is covered wun gray nairs j
that should be honorable. If you do not
longer wish to receive a newspaper, write
a note to the editor, like a man, saying
so and be sure that arrearages are paid.
This is the way to stop a newspaper.
Why Do Animals Need Salt.
Professor James K. Johnson, of Scot
land, says that half the saline matter of
the' blood (57 per cent.) consists of
coiLtnon salt, and th:s is partly dissolved
every day through the skin and kidneys ;
the necessity ot continued supplies of it
to the healthy body is sufficiently obvious.
The bile also contains (one of the ingred
ients ot salt) as a special and indispensa
ble constituent, and so donall tho cartil

naturally waste. It is better to place salt
where stock can have free access to it
than to give it occasionally in small
quantities. They will help themelves

at pleasure, otherwise, when they become

A great discovery is said to have beer
recently inado by a surgeon of the British
army in China, in the way of an effectual
remedy for small pox The mode of treat
uient is as follows: When the preceeding
fever is at its hight, and just before it
eruption appears, the chest is rubbed
with croton oil and tartario ointment.
This causes the whole of the eruption to
i sppear on that part of the body to the
relief ot the rest. Jt also secures a luir
and complete eruption, snd this prevents
the disease from attacking the internal
organs. .This is now the established mode
of treatment in the English army in China
and is regarded as a perfect cure.

A surgeon writes : The greatest everat
of tho war, in the matter ol saving life,
was, perhaps, the tying of the eared id
artery in the case ot a wounded soldier
bleeding to death oo the hideous day . ot
Sedan, by a surgeon amidst a horriciine
of bullets that was an American volun
teer surgeon. The soldier has recovered r

American was helped by an Irish sur

operations in surgery, requiring the
