This State U unsurpassed In educational
zeal and practical effort, and, considering.
tile many disadvantages incident to so new
a State, ber progress is remarkable. U'lie
people seem lull alive to the advantages
of the coramou school system, and they con
tribute to its support with a degree of good
will and liberality seldom equaled. -Fine
school buildings are springing up all over
tlie State, first class teacliers are being call
ed to tiie field from otber Suites, aud the
indications every wbere give, promise sot
continued progress and 'ultimate honor to
the State. "
, .To obviate the necessity of sending abroad
for teachers, normal schools are very much
needed. Cut thU want can not long be
felt, as such scltools will soou be established.
All the larger towns, and even those ot the
most recently settled portions of the State,
arc supplied with elegant and commodious
school buildings and etHcient teaehers. The
State Superintendent spends a large pro
portion of Ms time visiting schools, labor
ing in institutes, and lecturing to the people,
and- Is everywhere infusing new life into
the system, and stimulating the people to
more cJTrnest 'effort. Oregon is destined
soou to occupy a very high educational

Georre Tavlor of the New York City
Press Association and Ed Cahill, went to
fish for trout. 1 hey were joiued there by
Ed tjmck and But ells, two protessicnal
rod-s wingers. On the way Taylor tried
his revolver on every chipmunk he saw.
Pretty soon Cahill shouted : "Blazes ! see
that ground hog! I.ict him have it Taylor!"
He's a beauty J-' said ells, and outck
cried, 4 "Sweet Christmas, but ain't he fat?"
1 he animal was jogging along leisurely
aera-s a field. - Taylor acted upon Cahill's
suggestion and got out ot the wagon to
snoot it. in ins imrry lie iorgot to put
down Ins fish pole and carried It in tis band
lu his other hand was his revolver, ready
cocked, lie gave chase to the ground nog.
Uis companions sat watching him from the
wagon, waiting to see mm Kin t lie annual.
It was a pretty one, all oven white and
black spots. .-.Xaj-lor was bound to Lave-iU
hide. When he get within shooting dis
tance, he stepped in a bog hole, and down
he went. His lih pole ran about a foot hi
the ground and broke off. His pistol went
oil aud blew the whole roof out of a brand
new straw hat that he had purchased for
the occasion. ,
He was sooif on his feet again, but the
ground hog had got clear to the other side
ot the field and sat by the side of a hole,
evidently waiting for the anxious Fports
man. Taylor caught up to within a few
feet of his game and raised up to fire. The
ground hog suddenly turned his white tail
toward Taylor and tiisappeard tn his hole.
Taylor that instant knew he hadn't brought
enough Florida waterwith him from the
city. He knew he hadn't struck a mint patch
nor yet a patch of roses, lie felt tliat it
wasn't good lor him to -be there,- aud he
wanted to go home. In short, It came
across him by degrees that tlie boys had
played a skuuk off on him for a ground hog.
He returned to the wagon, ana remarking
that the ground hog was too quick for him
got in. Ed. Cahill put his handkerchief
to hU nose. Ed. Quick said he guessed
he'd get out and walk a way. Bob said be
guessed he would too. Cahill said, he
promised to bring his wife' some elecam
pane root, and as tnat was a good place to
find it, he thought he'd get out and look
for some. Taylor wouldn't ride aloue, and
made up his mind to walk with the rest.
Cahill couldn't finl any elecampane root,
and got back into tlie wagon. - Quick and
Wells got tired, and jumped in again. Tay
lor then1 thought he would, rule awhile.
The boys began to think the Joke was as
much ou them as it was on Taylor.
When they got to the creek Tavlor ob
jected to going into the woods alone -for
tear ne might get lost. Cahill told bun to
keep half a mile to the windward ot them
and they would be sure to know wbere to
find him. Taylor fished Spring Brook.
The trout wouldn't bite. They came to
tlie surface aud looked at his. fly; but as
soon as they got their noses out ofthe wa
ter, they dove down and rubbed t hern In
the gravel. Tayloc got disgusted and went
to find his. comrades." 'He, came up - to
them- near Mother Jaggex's : where they
stopped lor dinner. Cahill, took .Taylor
aside and said : ; " - -! ; ' ; -;
'Say, Taylor, we want to get something
to eat here. Yon musn't go In with us, or
yon'll kill the whole thing. We'll eat first
tnen you come in. see' - ."--.
Taylor was hungry, and had to submit.
Mother Jaeger cot the bovs Un a nice
dinner.--They ate it. at leisure. Taylor
sat on a log about a bundl ed yards from the
house and whistled "Bury tna under the
violeU.' The boys finished their meal and
went out, Thev told Tavlor to trn wet hi
dinner. He entered Mother Jamrer's kitch
en aud sat down to " the table. , The old
lady began to sniff, and kicking the old
hound that lay bv tlie stove, ejaculated :

Legend of tiie WaLlowa. We shall
locate the scene of our, brief narrative in
Eastern Oregon, in Wallowa Valley. The
valley here mentioned surpasses the finest
conceptions of the imagination in native
beauty and elemental grandeur. It would
seem as though some powerful subterrane
an force had tossed up huge mountains,
Inclosing a most beautiful valley within
solid wails of rock of massive formation.
Cold streams leaning irom cleft -to cleft,
rush into the Valley, forming a magnificant
lake near tlie center ; and from this lake a
stream winds its devious way through the
valley, like a sheet ot sliver, glistening, m
the sorsreous sunlight. Far up the moun
tain side, beneath the protecting shadows
of giant pines, and by the side of a crystal
soring, dwelt an Indian family, one mem
ber of which sra3 a dusky maiden. An In
dian chief paid his addresses toiler, which
were received with favor, one day wnue
her lover was on the chase the maiden
chanced to strav from her father's home.
when she was attacked by a fierce monster;
she fled to the borders "of the lake, still
pursued by the monster, ahd being an ex
cellent swimmer, swam to the center or tne
lake tlie monster following,, where they
both were drowned. The Indian chief re
turned, and ascertaining tlie end of his be
trothed, went to the lake, where, it is saw,
his own bodv assumed the form of a spirit,
and was seen no more. To-day the Indi
ans of the valley refuse to esiter the water
ofthe lake, aa they claim it is sacrea to me
two Indian spirits who hover around its
surface. '
A short time since in Ohio, a number
ot farmers, infuriated at the murder of a
young girl in the woods, broke. open a
jail, took out of it the man accused ot
the murder, and hanged him. -The poor
creatine was accused by his , wile. ; He
solemnly denied in bis last moments bav
ins committed the murder, aud asserted
that bis wife charged him because she
was insanely iealous of him. Now it
turns out that the man was innocent.
Unfortunately be is dead. Unfortunate
ly the men who, in violation ot the. law,
hanged him, are all murderers, who
ough to be hanged in their tnrn. Un
fortunately they willall have the unpleas
ant consciousness for the rest ot their
lives tliat thev are murderers not a com
tollable thought to most of them, prob
ab'y. It is scarcely necessary to pursue
the thought further. Lynch law is
always wrong ; but this is not all ; nine
times out ot ten the men who take the
law. into their own hands hang the
wrong man. v
It lias puzzled many people to decide
why the dark wood so highly valued for
furniture should be called rosewood. Its
color does not look much like o rose, so
we must look lorsome other reason.
Upon asking, "we are told that whente
tree is first cut the fresh wood possesses
a very strong, rose-like fragrance; hence
the name. There are half a dozen or
more different , kinds of rosewood trees.
The varieties are found in South America
and the East Indies and neighboring
islands. ' Sometimes the trees grow so
large tliat plonks four ieet broad and ten
in lencrhti can be cut from one of them.
These broad planks are principally used
to make tops of piantortes. When grow
in" in the forest, the rosewood tree is
remarkable for its beauty, bat such is its
value m manufacures as an ornamental
wood, that some of the forest where it
once grew abundantly now have scarcely
a single specimen. In Madras, the Gov
ernment has prudently had great planta-
lions oi tins tree &ei out, m oruer 10

Colonies fob the South. The
Washington Chronicle suggests to the
North to immigrate to the South in
colonies. , We think this a good plan, as
it will enable them to have congenial
companionship troiii the time they reach
the South. As to the superior civiliza
tion accorded to the North, especially
tlie agricultural element, tliat is all bosh.
Hut, we are perfectly willing for them
to thiuk so. Gradually these Northern
immigrants, whose social , position and
general good conduct entitle them tore
cognition." will be welcomed J to our
hearths and tables, and they will soon
lose their Northern identity, ; without
ever having cause to apologize for, or re
gret thier Northern antecedents. .The
truth is, there is a deal of narrow-minded
prejudice on both sides, which time and
travel ' alone will eradicate, liut the
same difficulty which, prevails all over,
the world, and none other, will at first'
keep people who have been educated
differently, apart. Inter-communication
will break down these social - barriers.
and the people of the North, will tiud

Alphonso, King of Naples, had in his
court a iool who usea to write aown in
a book all the" follies of the great men
in his- time that were at court. The
King having a Moor in bis household,
sent him to the Levant to buy bon cs,
with ten thousai d dutats. This the
fool marked in his book as a pure piece
of folly. Some time after, tho King
called for the bock, aud found at last
his own name,, with the story ofthe ten
thousand ducats. The King, being
somewhat moved, asked the reason why
his name was . there. "Hecause, said
the jester, "you have committed a piece
ot folly to give your money to one yon
are never, likely to eee again." "llut
it he does come back again," said the
Kins, "and brings me the horses, what
folly is that in me?". "Why, if ever lie
does come back again," replied the fool,
'I'll blot ont your name, and pat in his."
