John Stilea as stout as an ox.
And Susan fat as butter,
And there they sat and shelled tbe corn,' -
And raked and stirred the fire.
And talked of different kinds of care,
And hitched their chairs up nigher.

Then John be took tbe popper.

And shook and shook the popper.

Death or A Female Miser. A few days ego
a German woman, wife of John Hoffman, a fish
erman, died at her home, situated in tbe north
part of the city, in tho district formerly attached
to Mount Pleasant. Some ladies oi the Samari
tan nature, who ore eTer ready to help in
casa of distress, sickness or death, went to tbe
bouse to prepare the corpse for a Christian burial.
In the house everything bore the imprint of the
most abject squalor. In a cradle covered with an
old piece of oil-cloth lay the corpse of a baby but
two months old, on whose body, which was a mass
of filth, maggots were found crawling. On the
tea, composed of a pile of rags, was tne dead
mother, her bands fiercely clutched, as if she bad
died in great agony. Upon making tbe prepara
tions for laying out the body, tbe hands, by dint
of bard work, were opened or unclasped, when a
$5 greenback and a ten cent piece, postal curren
cy, were found therein, to the surprise of all pres
ent, even the deceased woman s husband ; nor
was that all: for, upon commencing to remove
her garments, upon almost every portion of her
body small amounts of money were found, even to
91 bill lving on her abdomen. About the bed
were found different amounts of money, rolled up
in rags, come of which must hare been boarded
for years, as bills on old State banks were found,
one ef which was so mutilated and obliterated
that it could not be discovered what bank had is
sued it : bow much more is hid awar abont the
house in out-of-tbe-way places is r.ot known, if
any, but the supposition is that more will yet be
discovered. About $300 was discovered Jiaeine

Mournings Drcaa.
When or whence did it arise, that -when one'
dies and rocs to Heaven all the familv should
shroud themselves in tbe deepest black, aad the
women be tbe especial victims 1 Somewhere the
custom must- have arisen, since the days of our
ancestor', the Saxons, or the Picta and Soots,
whose only clothing wae painted oa I Is it going
further, or will mere oe some reinHasee.l)a a re
turn te the right way T Some women-spend half
their lives under crape; a sort of self-ire nosed
penance, hot, heavy, unwholesome. Men may
wear a badge of mourning for a time, and then
resume light clothes? And very few dan to brave
Mrs. Grundy, ana follow out tbeir convictions bv
refusing to yield to this abaard demand of ens- .
torn. We think it is growing worse and worse.
A family will wear crape three years, and black- '
dresses three years mere, for a mother who went
straight to Heaven, and who would say to them,.
"Mourn not for me. And so strong is the
force of example that some one else must do the
same or it shows a "want of feeling." Now it in

A letter of tbe Eruprcrs F.ugcnieto the Czar, jus t
published, alludes to a friendly Power lhathad ex
pressed a desire to intervene in favor of France,
after the surrender of sedan. llmt Power was
Russia. Emperor
tbe Empress iuiinod
Sedan, offering to
teerity of French
same dispatch, informed the Empress that he had
earnestly recommended tbe King of Prussia to
open negotiations for peace, and not insist on a
cession of French territory, bs the disintegration
of France would be tlangerons to tbe peaee of
Europe. Tbe hope of Russian intervention, was,
however, spoiled t-y the outbreak of the revolu
tion of September 4th, and the flight of the Em
press which took place a few hours after the dis
patch has been received from Empeior Alexander.
Hearing tbe news that the Republie had been
proclaimed, the Emperor withdrew his proffered
intervention and notified the King of Prussia that
Russia would remain central. Jules Favre
and all former members of tbe Government of
September 4th knew of tho existence of the dis
patch. It is said to have been found after tbe
flight of tbe Empress among papers of the Em
peror, but withcld from publication by the Gov
ernment of National Bcfenee. Tho revelations
are apparently to be made public with tbe consent
of Empress Eugenie. ; Republicans, chiefly Jules
Favre and bis former colleagues, will probably
deny the proposed intervention of tbe Czar., but
tbe truth is the faets related can be completely
established. .
Tat Walla Walla Valley Graix Crops. :
The Real Ettate Jleeord for July gives this j To
write concerning the crop at present one cannot
give as close an ostimare at would le de-sirable, as
there is at this time but little that has been
threshed. In fact, we are now rieht in the midst
of harvest, and there is probably one half that is
not yet eut, end but little has been threshed com
pared with what is yet to come ; still, some of tbe
new crop of wheat is now in market. Farmers
tell us that Fall -sown wheat yields very large,
but that some of the later Spring-sown grain is
rather light, owing to the dry, hot weather in
June and a part of July. We have made in
quiries of several farmers whi have threshed their
grain, all of whom report very favorably. One
farmer informed us that his Fall wheat averaged
him 61 bushels to the acre. . Another bus seventy
five acres of Fall and Spring wheat and oats, and
this was the first crop raised on the land ; tho Fall
wheat yielded a little over 41 bushels to the acre
and tbe Spring wheat 31 bushels. We did not
learn the yield per acre of oats. ' Another farmer
informed ut that his Fall wheat yielded 40 bush
els to tho acre and his Spring wheat 30. - There is
now no doubt that the yield of grain throughout
this Valley will be a large ono. Take tbe whole
grain crop of both Spring and Fall sowing, the
above may be taken at about an average. Tbe
price, although too low, is better than it opens
after some harvests, and there Is a probability
that wheat will sell at from 7S to 80 cents per
bushel before W inter. , It is true that we bave to
sell at low prices at present, but then we ean raise
it cheaper than anywhere else, and ean, if neect
tarv. sell our products cheaper than sny other
valley on this coast. - S "'':,'r'

In an article entitled "More Radical Thievery,'
the Herald makes allusion to tbe management o

the Portland Custom House is conducted in a cor
rupt and extravagaut way, without das regard
fur the public interests, or the pnblie money is in.
any respect improperly used or unnecessarily ex
pended, he is a slanderer and a liar. Tbe eollec
tiocs at this port since tbe Custom House was es

thousand dollars, mostly coin, and the total ti.
peases of collection, including pay of employes,
rent, furniture and fitting np, bave been less than

A thieving operation on the part ef tbe Demo

raising funds, baa been brought to light. They,
bave employed a great many men to work on the
publie buildings at Sacramento, and it is directly
proven by the affidavits of a largo number of
these men that the managers engaged them at the
rate of $2.12 a day, and drew from the Treasury
$4.35 a day and pocketed tbe difference ! This is
following closely after the tactics of Tammany,
whereby seversl millions are drawn out of the
Treasury ostensibly for s job of repairs on ' the
publie buildings, and nine-tenths of it distributed,
