Mr. Spargeon says of tho manner in which true religion manifests itself in daily life : I have no faith in that woman who talks of grace and glory abroad, and uses no soap at home. Let the buttons be on the shirts, let the children's socks be mended, let the roast routtoo be done to a turn, let the houso be neat as a new pin, let the husband's buttons bo sewed on, aud the home be happy as home can be j aud thon, when the eauaon balls, and the marbles, and even the gra'iQS of sand, arc ail ip the bog, even then there will be room for those little deeds of love and faith which, n my Master's naroe, Iseek of you who' lovp his appearing. Serve God by doing common actions in heaveu ly spirit, and then, if your daily calling only leaves you - craeka and crevioes .of times,' fill these up with holy services. To uxe the Apostle's words, "As we have opportunity le.,us do good unto all meD." ' j I, irfa i ii r i . Almost everywhere in Ohio where par ty lines were diawn the, Democracy have carried the municipal and township elec A Big Hani of Snakes. By verbal reports from different par ties, wc gather the following particulars of the capture of a large baud of Snake Indians, and a prospect of peace ia the upper country. Sotn timo about tho latter part of last week, a party of soldiers that had been sent to Chcort a tuau and his family to Shasta, on their return to their camp, came unon a band of Indtnrs, some 4U to CO miles IVom Shasta on the Malheur river, surrounded them and immediately dispatched a messenger for rcenforcn mcnts to Camp Waruer, some CO miles distaut. They promptly arrived and the chief of the several baods of that region surrendered the camp, some 72 in num ber, including Indians and mjuuws, old and young. Tho chief stipulated that they should not be bound nor taken to Fort Hoie. They delivered up I heir arms, and about 10U head of stolen horse. Tho chief signified his willingness to take his people upon a reservation in the region of liar ney Lake, and on hit promise to bring in to camp all of his followers, ho was fur nished a horpe by John C'rcightoii, and given ten day.- in which to gather them. Ho said he had a band near Canyon City ; another ou the Wcicr river and another of u5 wen in the Owyhee country. This last i propably the band the killing of which wn published in our last, and of which the chief was probably ignorant. Crcighton says the chief had Souther land's rifle, the man who was recently killed. Word was pent into Shasta for owners of lost stock to cento out to camp and get it. It is reported that an Indian, who claimed to have killed Mrs. Denotlle guided some man to the spot, and showed them her hones, and the manner of kill ing her. Her head was laid upon a rock and smashed with another. It was too much for the men to bear, and tho Indian was abut on the sfot. Wo thai) undoubtedly have more full and interesting particulars next week. It is a grcit relief to feci that Burnt Hirer. Rye Valley, Shasta, the Owyhee country and all the region above, is safe for resi dence and travel. All prate to the sol diers and Capt. Kellcy'a company in par ticular. Blue' Mountain Time . Aneedofe of Autoluctte Drown. While Antoinette Brown was studying theology at Oberlin, Profeor Morgan, who improved every opportunity to per suade her that there was more congenial, as well a more effective and scriptural employment for a young lady than preach ing, once gave brr this subject for a dis sertation : ' It is a shame for women to speak iu the church." (I Cor. xtv. 35.) Antoinette read an esay of. half an hour's length, learnedly discussing the Greek word lalcin there ud, quoting the chaste, and proving to her own sat isfaction that it is one of these words in which the sound resembles the sense, like rattle, rin. etc., and that it ought Ij be translated LuLlAc. Professor Morgan heard her patiently to the cud, and then smiling archly, ask ed, "Ia it not rattier a poor compliment to the sex ? 'Let the women hold their tongues; for it ia a ahame for them to be bubbling in the church But" he con tinued, "let us look a little at tho New Testament uage of this word." So turning to John vt. G3, he read as fol lows ; "The words that I babble to you, they are spirit, and they are life abw John vit. 40 : Never man babbled like this a an and 2 Peter i. 21 "Holy men of God babbled as they were moved by the Holy Ghost," aud many other pas sages. Poor Antoinette blushed scarlet, for she was possessed of much maidenly modesty and beauty; but convinced against her will, concluded to let that pass age stand as one in which she and St. Paul differed. Grant Exploded. The result of the elections that have taken place since Grant hecamo a candid ate for Prcsidcut has shown that whatev er else may happen, he stands no chance of being elected unless the negroes vote for him. i Yfbite men have already deci ded the contest against him. The N. W. World, in an article summing up the re sult of tho recent elections and the pros neeta of Grant, savs : f " y " In good truth, the fancied prestige of Gen. Grant is pretty well exploded, lie .., ..., lias never been popular eitncr wttn tno army or the people. When he travels no crowd throng the stations to see him.- When he appears in public places, no cheers break forth to testify the puMic en thusiasm. Nothing that he writes ia read with any interest. There is nothing in his military career , which awakens any warmth of personal admiration. , He has never been in the thick of a 6ght ; has never led a charge; has never chival rously exposed his person to danger; has never spoken a word of. sympathy to the wounded soldier, or sent a" feeling letter of condolence to a bereaved wife or moth er. He never made an electric address to his sol iers on the eve of battle. There is nothing noble or admirable ia hia 'per sonal appearance arid bearing. How should such a man inspire enthusiasm t The most that can bo said in his favor-sis that he won important successes by . a prodigal expenditure of life. But as he was a very commonplace, ungentat man in civil lite before ho went into the war, so he w a very commouplaco man when he shrinks back to his natural sizo now that the war is over. Is it any wonder that ho brings no strength to the repub lican ticket that nobody has followed hm into the republican party ?" A drunken fallow got out of his calcu lation, and was dozing in the street, when the bells roused him by their ringing for fire.

The Cleveland Ptaindealcr tells tho following remarkable story of a ease which it says happened in that city : Some six weeks ago a young lady was residing oo Lorain street, Mist Ellen II. White, was taken ill by what was regard ed by her physicians as typhoid fever For four weeks her condition alternated from better to worse, when about two weeks since si o had a severe relapse, siukitig gradually until it was thought she had died, and she was pronounced dead by her physicians, her mother alone refusing to bclievo her dead. Prepara tions were made for her funeral, the mother all tho timo insisting that her daughter was nlive. She was to have been buried ou Sunday Iat, and her nar row escape from the grave is thus relat cd : On Saturday, when one of the neighbors nnd the mother were standing by tho side of the supposed corpse, the door, which had been left open, blew shut with a loud noise, which had the ef fect of so acting upn tho girl as to ' or In nnd nt Iia Wftt litrwwl in brinj motion. She sprang up in bed, and throwing her arms around her mother's neck wept tears of joy over her escape from tho horrid Cith of being buried alive. Tho young lady described her feelings during her trance from which it appears ahe fully realized alt that was go ing on, but her will was powerless. Her situation appears to have been one of perfect happiness, except when the thought of be ug buried alive possessed her. The Humboldt Ilraneh. We Isarti by our Washington corres pondence that Mr. Petigra has become fitti-fied of the ini possibility of securing Congressional aid for a branch railroad to tap the great pacific trunk by the way of Diamond Peak, meeting with the opposi tion of our whole delegation, and with that other citizen in Washington, he has started back in disgust. Wo also have flic bill of Mr. Matlory, aking for assist ance fur a branch road to run through Rogue river and (Jmpqua valleys cross the cascade range bordering on the east of this valley, paas through the Link riv er settlements, and continue by Surprise valley to the line of the Pacific Railroad. As the typographical character of the country from Ashland to the head of the Wilhmctte valtcy is uf such a character, that the aid aaked for might conflict with the Oregon Central, the bill provides for the consolidation of the two companies from such point where conflict might en sue. The effvet of the bill will bo to grant additional aid to the Oregon Cen tral until it readies this valley, or per haps the Klamath Basin, and assist in tmthing the work f ojipeedy completion. The Oregon Central will end at the State boundary, and a lateral branch from it to the Pacific road would certaiuly force the completion of the California and Oregon road in order to reap some of the advantages that will certainly be gained by us. e bate strong hope that the bin wm uccomo a law, pernaps at toe present session, ana tt it docs, we may soon expect an inaiutnai activity not heretofore experienced in Oregon. If the Government can he induced to be stow half the sum per mile, necessary to build it, we candidly believe that in ten years it would save that amount in trans portation of supplies, munitions of war. and mails, besides having aided our young State to population and wealth. With out such aid wo cannot expect but littlo prosperity; and we believe that Congress ts called upon, not only by duty, but by Interest, to give it speedily. Jachion uUle Sentinel. Things a Woman Can't Do. A lady writer who is slightly disposed to turn traitor to her sex, states that there are thrco things women can't do the roost important admission that has been extorted from her sex since Madame Kve ate the apple. Hear the following open confession. First, she can't sharpen a lead pencil. Give her one and see. Mark how jag- gedly she hacks away every particle of wood around the lead, leaving an unsup ported spike of the latter, which breaks immediately when used. You can almost forgive the male creaturo his compassion ate contempt of chucking her under the chin, as he twitches it from her awkward little paw, and rouuds and tapers it in the most . ravishing manner, for durable use. I wih to hear no more on that point, becauso when I once make up my mind " all the King's men " can't change Well, then, secondly A woman can't do .up a bundle. . She takes a whole newspaper to do up a paper of pins, and a coil of rope to tie it, and it will come undone at that. When I go shopping, I look ; on with the i fascinating gaze of a bird in the neighborhood of a magnetic serpent, to watch clerks do ' up bundles. How the i paper falls just into the right crease, how deftly they turn it over, tuck it under, and tio it up, throw it down up upon the counter as if they had done the most common thing in the world, instead of a deed which might, and if faith does task ingenuity of " angels ?" It is per fectly astonishing." ; 1 N . Thirdly I may allude to the fact that a woman can't carry an umbrella, or rath er to the very peculiar manner in which they perform that 'duty ; but, I wont. Whau they unfurl . the parachute alluded to.' they put it down over their noses, take the middle of the - sidewalk, raking off men's hats, aud women's, bonnets as they tro. and walking right into tho breakfast of 80tn6 "wight, with that disregard "of consequent disgust which to be under stood must bo felt, as the offender crooks up one corner of the parachute and looks de&i&tly at the victim who has tho effron tery to corao into' tho world and hazard the whalebono aad handle cf her " uia- birilH" . - - : . NO. 47 A Kemarkable Prisoner. Jhe prisoners confined at Mobile, made an attempt to escape lately, but were dis covered in time to prevent aoy of them getting off. The two ringleaders, Hud son and Boone, were put in irons. Capt, Hetty, Chief of the Mobile Police and the reporter of the Jlegitter, paid the jail a visit on learning that Boone could not be kept ironed. The Register thus tells the story: In ono of the corner cells, on the first floor, is confined the noted Younjr Boone aliat ' Monroe," a handsome lad of about 15 years. He was the first one released bv Ilusdon on Monday night, aod took the keys, after which he opened all the cells on the first aod second floors. After the prisoners had been secured and their efforts thwarted, the Sheriff at once placed them to irons, hands and feet. It was soon afterwards discovered that young Boone had thrown off his irons. lie was then taken out and heavily ironed again, the shackfes and chains having been in creased. In less than five minutes after wards the jailor peeped into his cell and saw all the cuffs, shackles aod chains ly- loir un mo uoor oi tue ecu ana vouncr uoone sitting oo tits bed as if he had done nothing. Six different times did they place his limbs iu irons, and the strongest and most intricate wero called into requisition, but all to no nurnoee. When Capt. Petty was told of the extra ordinary feats performed by young Boone in inrowing ou ins irons, tie expressed a desire to be permitted to select the irons tiimseii, ana dress the young man " ac cording to his stvlc. The iailor cheer. fully complied with Capt. Pctty's request, and after the cuffs, shackles and chains had been procured, and' we repaired to young Boone's cell. He is a bright, in telligent and very handsome boy, with large blue eyes, effeminate features and complexion as fair as a lady. He rose from his bed as we ncared the cell, aod came to the window with a cheerful smile beaming on hi handsome face. We were accompanied by the Sheriff, jailor, Capt. Petty aod two turn ke vs. The Sheriff opened the door and invited young Boone to step out. ne was then told that Capt. Pnty had come to place him in irons so that he would stay in them. This did not seem to move him in the least. He smiled pleasantly, aod remarked that " such a thing could no doubt be did," but hoped no further ef forts would be mado io that direction. The Sheriff ordered the irons to be put on him. Capt. Petty commenced by drawing the young man's wrists together behind bis back, after which he put on a pair of tight-fitttog patent handcuffs. He then drew hU arms close behind him and put on a pair of cuff attached by a short chaio, above his elbows. A chain was then attached to the cuffs at the wrist, which extended down to the shackles which were closelj fitted and locked oo his ankles. During the operation, his large blue eyes were keenly fixed on eve ry article of his iron dress, as each was being adjusted. After Capt. Petty had pronounced him secure, ycung Boone's eyes fell, and a look of despair overshad owed his heretofore bright countenance. We could not help but pitj one so young ind piuuitaiug iu uis pamiui situation. Capt. Petty remarked to him : "Now. Boone, if vou can wrisrgle voursclf out of that dress, I will guaranteo that the Sheriff here will give you tho freedom of your cell, and so long as you behave yourself you will never again be ironed in this jail." As these words were spo ken Boone's face was fairly illuminated with joy, and asked the Sheriff " if it was a bargain ?" That ofScial assented, believing, with Captain Petty and all present, that it was out of his power to accomplish such a feat. Young Boone wished to know if tho agreement would he fulfilled as soon as the work was done. He was told that it would. He then asked that the Sheriff and Capt. Petty . m mm go away irora the cell while he was at work. They went off to tho other Bide of the hall to iron some prisoners, and had not been gone two minutes before young Boono announced that his arms were free, and in less than three minutes longer the shackles were off his legs, and he stood without an iron upon him. He will have no more irons put upon him, hut a close watch will bo kept over him. Ho was put in for larceny about one month ago, and his trial takes place in June. He is a native of New York City, and has graduated from the Tombs in that great metropolis of sin and crimts.

Angling for a Dog. ; " Brick " Pomeroy tells the 'following good dog story : , One time we wero traveling on grounds wo had no right to tramp over. The only excuse was like that of military ne cessity it was better fishing through farms where tho; trout had been preserv ed than in the open lot where - all could fish, ' ' :,,if; ' It was early morning, we had risen at three, ridden ten miles, and struck the creek as the trout were ready for break fast. Lcokiog carefully for a sheltered place to hitch our horses, we slyly crept on behind fences, etc., till wo reached that part of the- stream not generally fished. A farm house stood a quarter of a milo away, . We saw the morning smoke curling lightly from a stove pipe j saw a man and two boys come out to do chores; saw a woman busy about the door, and a ferocious bull dog wandering- about , the yard , " . , ; . . If we ever fished close, it Tras then not a whisper to disturb the birds or the owners of the land.

No sooner would the hook touch the wa ter thaa we had a trout. Wo forgot the house, the boys, aod the dog. , f Suddenly there was a rushing through, an oat field, as if a mad hull were coming. We looked toward the house, and saw the. farmer and his two hoys on the fence, the woman in tho door, and the bull dog comV iog toward us. We saw it all we had been discovered. The well trained dog had been sent to hunt ns out, and as the matter appeared, it was safe to bet he was doing that thing right lively, To outrun a dog was not to ho thought of. There was no time to lose, ne clear cd a fence and came for us just as wo reached a tree, and, hy great activity, took a front scat on a limb above his reach. ' :;":-;- Here was a precious go.

It is the wild Sow ers of a land that outlive its devastations ; it is these that outlive the disasters of tho extermination of its people ; it is thess that outlive misrule, and that survive tho desolations of war. It is the "witnesses of God' low of stature as they are, and bright and gay, and odoriferous that be cause they are infructuous and spared hy marauding bands. These gems of the plain and the hillside outlast the loftiest of a country; they live on to witness tho disappearance of gigantic forests; i they live to sec the extinction of the cedar, and of the palm, and of the ilex, and of the olive, and of the cacta, and of tho vine and the fig tree, etc.; they live to see fulfilled in themselves the word "ev ery high thiDg shall be brought low, and the humble shall rejoice." So has it been in Palestine ; once it was a land of denso timber growths and of frequent graceful clusters of t smaller trees, and of orchards, and vineyards, which retains now only here and thera a remnant of these adornments.
