THE PARTING HOUR. .
The following exquisite poem, isys tbe Port
land Binning Cammtrcial, was wrltton ty Ed
ward Pollock, tbe gifted California poet, oa the
8th of January, 18J7, and ha never been pub
lished. It wa glvon by th post to a friend who
was about to depart on a steamer fur Oregon'
Pollock saying, "Take this; yon may, perhaps,
read and appreciate the sentiment lung after I
have ceased to be among the living
There's something In the " parting hoar"
Will chill the warmest heart
Yet kindred, comrades, lovers, friends,
Are fated all to partj
But this I've seen and many a pang
Has pressed it to my mind
Tbe oue who goes is happier
Than those be leaves behind.
No matter what tbe Jturoey be,
Adventurous, dangerous, lar.
To tbe wild deep or bleak frontier,
To solitude or war
Si.il! soinulbiog ebeurs the heart that (fares
In all of human kind,
And tbvy who go are happier
Thau those they leave behind.
Tbe bride goes to tbe bridegroom' home
With doublings and with tears.
But does not Hope ber rainbow spread
Across the tbe eloudy fears;
Alas! lb mother abo remaius,
What comfort can sbe Bud,
But this the guu are happier
Tbaa one sbe leaves behind t
Have yon a friend a comrade dear.
An old and valued friend ?
Bo sure your term of sweet concourse
Al length will have au end I
And wbeu you pari as part you will

If be wbo goes is happier

Under this title tbe Oakland Tran
script contains a very remarkable arti
cle from a correspondent, from which
we make tbe following quotations.
We are persuaded that his views ac
cord with the sentiments of a large
majority of California, upon whom
they have been impressed by disas
trous experience. The brilliant wri
ter says :
The above is the concluding clause
the newspapers use in publishing tbe
list of passengers from China by the
last steamer. Only twelve hundred
Aye, send them along !
Send on the locusts from the Flow
ery Kingdom. Subsidize lines of
steamships to disembogue millions of
the valuable vermin upon our shores.
Fill the land with temples erected to
the great Joss. Are not tbe footprints
of the higher civilization traceable
throughout every branch of our Gov
ernment? Does he not rejoice in our
success and mourn at our calamities?
Do they not run our sewing ma
chines? Do they not manufacture our
cigars? Do they not make our boots
and shoes? Do they not preside in
our kitchens? Do they not swartn in
our orchards and gardens? Do they
not ban est our crops? Have they not
driven our poor white women from the
wash tub to the bagnio?
Are not their women ready to teach
tbe incalculable value of their love?
And are not the procurers of this
wholesale system of prostitution lion
ized wherever they go as moral Mo
seses who are to lead our people to the
promised land?
Twelve hundred more! a mere
bagatelle. Do they not furnish em
ployment to our carpenters, black
smiths, tanners, masons, plasterers,
stone-cutters, plumbers, and ship
wrights? Docs not his custom make glad our
merchant, fruitmen and farmers ? Is
his presence not a blessing to our ho
tels, banks and nsurance companies?
Is he not a god-send to the locality
he inhabits? Does he not improve
and beautify his home, embellish his
gardens, and make a paradise of his
neighborhood? Does ho not cheer
fully contribute to our schools and
academies, our churches and chari
ties?
Only twelve hundred more 1 Twelve
hundred white men to be thrown out
of employment. But then they can
beg, steal and starve. Twelve hun
dred white women, pure as tbe snow
flakes from heaven, driven to barter
their virtue for a crust of bread 1 In
the name of God, what age do : we
live in? what land is being thus crush
ed? and, ever and above all, what peo
ple is permitting its consummation?
Millions can be voted to enable com
panies, bloated with wealth, to , over
run our country with these people
hundreds of millions can be donated
to millionaires to protect their manu
factures. But nothing, nothing, nothing cah
be done in the interest of the toiling
classes of tbe country wuom this in
flux of pauper labor is ruining.
Twelve hundred more 1
Everyday a suicide; some poor
devil of a white man, out of money,
too proud to beg. too honest to steal.
too noble to starve, blows his brains
out. Allrierbt: white blood is at a
discount, and coffins are cheap. The
potter's leld is large ; starving white
people are welcome to its gates.
Fellow-laborers of California, a
fearful duty rests upon your shoul
ders. Wisdom, firmness, honor and
courage are demanded at your hands.
The security of yourselves, the future
welfare of your Government depends
upon your course.
By every consideration of honor snd
of manhood ; by every tie of family
and of country ; by every impulse of
justice snd patriotism, I' conjure you
to rise, as one man, in tho majesty of
youf power, as freemen, ana throw
back the tide of heathen patrpef s from
our shores.- Unless this be , done,: as
sure as light shines, and God reigns,

THAT SLANDER AUAIBT.
Wood's slander against Mr. Grover,
that the latter gentleman had at one
time mode overtures for the employ
ment of Chinese operatives in the
Woolen Mills at Salem, hat already
been successfully refuted. The only
evidence that was ever given in favor
of the charge was tbe affidavit of one
Jacobs, that he had beard Mr. Doland,
the Democratic Treasurer of Multno
mah county, say that Mr. Grover had
some years ago spoken or written to
him (Doland), making a proposition to
hire some Chinamen. This affidavit
was supplemented by affidavits from
L. E. Pratt and W. C. Johnson, that
they had heard Mr. Doland say that
the Salem Company h id written to
him about employing Chinese, though
these latter affidavits do not mention
Mr. Grover's name at all. This the
Orr-fOKum called "proof" of tbe
charge against MA ' Grover, though
Mr. Doland wrote a letter, which we
Eublished, denying that Mr. Grover
ad ever made such a proposition, and
stating that ho always thought that
gentleman to le opposed to the em
ployment of Chinamen.
Wo could very well rest the case
here, but in order to overwhelm these
baso slanderers, who have been ped
dling thU calumny, we print to-day
the affidavits of four as honorable
men as there aro in all Oregon, men
too, who fpeak from knowledge and not
from hearmay, to the effect that neither
the Willamette Woolen Mamuaciur
ing Company nor Mr. Grover have ev
er offerod to employ Chinamen, and
that Mr. Grover has on all occasions
opposed their employment in the
Company's mills. To these affidavits
we append another letter from Mr.
DoIaDtt, moro explicit even than his
first one.
Wo commend this testimony to tbe
attention of all, as a triumphant vindi
cation of Mr. Grover from the foul as
persion cast upon him :

From tb St. Louis Reoubliesa.
NUFF-DIPPINO AMOIWU THE
LADIES THEIR MODESTY.
Tho facts presented bolow, which arc
forwarded from Texts by a ludy residing
there, will not be road with aoy plcusurs
ble emotions :
There ia as much passion for display
and dress, perhsps, as anywhere elso ; for
tight lacing and piochiug shoes; for
beauty ia form aod features, but general
ly the ''belle of the village" is regarded,
by one from the North, as remarkably
plain and unattractive. There is do real
beauty here, though this is do fault of
nature. 1 have seen young ladies ol
tweuty, whose features sod symmetry of
form! would tnt le New Kogland ladies
tho admired of all admirers, who absolute
ly are repulsive to tbe lover of true beau
ty, ho expressionless and lifeless are they.
This it ouo of the products of excessive
snuff "dipp'og," to which every native
Tessa woman it enslaved. Go where you
will and thi disgutting custom greets
you. Young girls of tea years njnke a
broom of one end of a stick, by chawing,
dip it ioto tbe family snuff-box which
is of no mean site restore it to its place
in one corner of tbe mouth, then chew
and spit, and there it uo cessation of this
vile practice till the end of life. After
continued and careful obseration, I am
convinced that this wholly forbids the
existence of beauty io a woman indulging
in it; the akin is made unoatural ; .the
1 ps aol mouth are injured, aod the whole
constitution of the woman is undetermin
ed. This practice it so universal that
there is no attempt at eoucealmcnt; after
each meal tho women of the household
repsir to their ''dipping," whoever may
be present. Oa one occasion my hosteas
sat at the tabic, chewing with consumatc
seal upon her old snuff stick, until verily,
'for the stomach's sake," I was forced to
leave my coffee, 'corn-bread aod bacon,
and quit the Louae. ThU does not lead
one to presume much upon the modesty
ot these Texan woruco. However, be
U likely to be deceived in this; they are
over modest than otherwise, unlet mod
esty unit necessitate the lost of their
'dip;" yet, iodeed, some are cveo modest
in this. Let them have their doe. Their
modesty is often painful to a stranger,
audi excessive reserve and di? taocy does
it produce. 1 know a young man of un
questioned integrity aod purity, who, at
tending a party, invited several young
ladica whom be had met several time
before, to join in the dance with him, but
was refused wholly on the ground that
tbey were not sufficiently acquainted with
bim.

. - From tb Round Table
TRUE WOJIANUOOD.
Miss Logan contends that the Wild
Woman's Itights Women are the
models of true womanhood. We are
growing very sick of this phrase,
"True Womanhood," and in its per
verted sense we loathe it. We despiso
the true womanhood which vaunts jt
self on the platform and proclaims
aloud its intention of " choosing the
Father of its Child." It is spurious,
and its scrofulous doctrines are far too
progressive for our understanding,
and too filthy for our touch. Let it
seethe. But of the Womanly Women,
who happily exist in reality outside
the feverish pale of political humbug
anu poisonous socialism, wbo never
parade themselves in print, we would
speak a word. There are hundreds of
Womanly Women who are the salt of
this city. There are brirrht. cheorv.
gentle creatures going about like living
prayers among the sick and poor and
the forsaken, and tbe impure, into
foetid alleys where Olive Iogan's vel
vet skirt never trailed and Susan An
thony's vapid thunder never echoed.
They are womanly enough, God
knows, although their white Lands
rest on sores and horrors, and their
pure breaths mingle with contagion,
and their gentle eyes seo grossness
unutterable, and their soft tones
parley with monstrous infamy. God
bless them 1 they take to themselves
the woman's Heaven ordained right
to console and solace and succor the
need and heartsore, the sick and the
sorrowful, although they dream not of
asking the right of mixing in the sinful
maelstrom at the polls.
Ave would invite Mrs. Blakcr. or
Mrs. Livermore to go and spend one
uiguk iu a uo&piuu in ims or any omer
a . .a
cuy in cnnsienaom managea by the
Sisters of Mercy, and then to come
back and repeat to us whether they or
the silken-clad members of the Sorosis
effect most honest work; to tell us
candily.and in good faith where we
shall find the present sample of a Wo
manly Woman.
Ihere is a little Sister, bright, active,
helpful, forseeing. She is a young
thing; not yet twenty-one. but al
though she nas never stamped up and
down tho platform at Cooper Insti
tute, or made believe to weep into a
twenty-uollar lace handkerchief, fe-he
has more brains than Olive Logan,
and moro wisdom than tbe whole
mouthing pack of female reformers.
It is her night to stay up and watch.
Look at her little bright figure flitting
around the hospital ward. See her
small, cool hand resting on tho scar
let forehead of some poor sufferer.
See her smoothing the pilow of one,
asd giving drink to another. See her
abode the light from the one who fol
lows her every movement with great
wide, wakeful eyes having the fire of
deadly lever m them. See her mouth
quiver when hhe hears the mortal
groans of tbe big strong man who was
brought in to-day with his nether
limbs crushed. See her go and help
him, and look at him with such mute
eloquent sympathy that he forgets for
an instant his pangs. See her take
the death message of another and
speak to him of mercy, and close his
rigid eyes and pray over him.
Ah, it is beautiful, all this, and no
ble, and womanly, and full of courage;
and to our minds it is a nobler " mis-
sion" than edititing the Revolution or
yelling at suffrage meetings or calling
our dissentient . neighbors " White
Sepulchers," or even wearing a velvet
dress and ambusing one s sex to the
tune of fifty ceuts per head.
Outside the Order of Mercy there
are also thousands of Womanly Wo
men. We do not mean to say that
this little Sister whose night it is to
watch and who has to call up the oth
er sisters at half post four in the morn-'
ing, and who does not go to bed her
self after her toilful night, becauso the
following day it is her turn to do the
cooking for the establishment, and
who is bright and cheerful and happy
as a lark we do not mean to say that
she is the onlv Womanly Woman in
the whole world. Oh, no, she is but
one of a class; and thank God, there
are many classes; and thank God, the
Wonftnly Woman is the rule and the
abnormal woman who scolds and
threatens, and shows herself with
"brazen front," is the exception,
There are actresses, and singers, and
ballet girls, and policemen's wives,
and washer women, and slop Workers
even boarding-house mistresses
who are real and true and hardwork
ing and womanly to their heart's core,
although they may not read the Revo
lution and have never heard of Olive
Logan. Aye, there are even literary
women, who make bread out of their
brains, and who use a pen, and " who
weep for the press and wipe their eyes
with the public," and yet are Worn
anly Women. .
EDWIN FORREST.
Yesterday, through, the politeness
of Mr. MoArdle, the business manager
of Mr. Holland's dramatic troupe, wt
were introduced and f pent a very
social and pleasant hour with Ameri
ca's greatest tragedian. Mr.- For
rest informed us that he had been
connected with the stage ever since
the age of thirteen, and he is now 63.
He is a native of the Keystone State,
and his residence is) at Philadelphia,
he having sold his pallatial residence
on the Hudson river j to the Sisters of
Charity. r The price paid was one hun
dred thousand dollars, and, after the
deed vras made and delivered, Mr.
Forrest made tbe Sisters a present of
five thousand dollars, a gift, he says,
the most . worthily,. bestowed of any
within his recollection, for he consid
ers theui the true angels of mercy.
Mr. Forrest belongs to no reJigiouB
denomination, is tv free thinker, and
believes it is the privilege of every
man and woman to do just as tbey
please in that respect. ' We were much
interested in his deaription of his trav
els, both in this country and in Eu- ,
rope, and especially where he visited
the insane asylums of France in search
ofknoweldgo particularly adapted to
his role of plays, and more especially
that of " King Lear," his masterpiece
for this evening. In one of them b
found an old man, aged about sixty .
years, and when not - aroused could
easily have pttsed him over with a gen
tle shove, but when he commenced
talking of tbe Kapolton dynasty he
became a lion, and before Mr. Forrest
was aware of what he was doing, h
hod lifted him up by the hips and
thrown him about ten feet over his
bead, and was in the act of crushing
him with his heel, when the keeper
entered and rescued him from all
harm. This little episode, Mr. For
rest says, paid him two-fold for his
trip across the Atlantic; for he there
hod an occular demonstration of tbe
power of loir-d over strength. He is
a fine scholai, and a master of three
or four languages; has been a hard
student in his profession, and consid
ers Sbakspeare one of the noblest
lights ever permitted to shine. He
has made his works a life study, and
even in his advanced years he says he
never plays " King Lear" without
finding new beauties he never saw be
fore. He is very much pleased with
the kind reception he has met in otrr
city, and will always remember his vis
it with pride.
Politically, Mr. Forrest is a Demo
crat of the Jackson stripe, he having
been a great admirer and personal
friend of that great champion of De
mocracy, and only regrets that we
have not a Jackson at the helm to
steer the old ship into a safe harbor,
for. to use his own expression. ' She
is lost on the rocks with the bottom
knocked out." He has some valuable
diamonds, but he does not " travel on
them." One ia particular a single
stone is worth five thousand dollars
in gold, with numerous others of lesser
value, all of which he prizes very
highly. Socially, Mr. Forrest is ft
genial and pleasant gentleman, fond
of company, when not otherwise en
gaged, and can tell and appreciate a
joke with a hearty good will. He is
strictly temperate in all his habits,
and he bids fair to live a number of
years longer. Peoria Xational Demo

Ooce upon a time a leaf was heard to
gigh and cry, and the twig said :
Whit is the matter little leaf V
The wind,' aaid the leaf, jdst told me
that one day he would pull me off, and
throw me down to tbe ground to die V -
Tbe twig told it to the branch on which
it grew, and tho branch told it to the
ti eo. And when the tree heard it, it rut
t ed all ovtr, and tent word back to the
leaf:
Do not be afraid, hold on tightly, sod
you tball not go until you want to.'
And to the leaf ttopped sighisg, snd went
on rustling and singing. And so it grew
all summer long till October. And whew
the bright dtys of August came, the lit
tie leaf taw all tbe leaves around becom
ing tery beautiful. Some were yellow
and some were scarlet, and - some were
striped with both colors. Then h asked
tbe tree what it mcatit. And tbe tree
said: -
'All these leaves aro getting ready to
fly away, and tbey have put on these
beautiful colors because of joy.'
Then tbe littlo leaf began to want to
go. and grew very beautiful iU tbiokiog
of it, and when it was very gay io colors,
it saw that the branches of the tree had
no color in tbem, and so the leaf said :
'Ob branch, why are you lead-eokrred
aod we golden V
'We must keep on our work clothes
aaid the tree, 'for our work is not done yet
but your clothes are for a holiday, because
your task is over.'
Just then a little puff of wind came,
and tbe leaf lM go without thinking of if j
and the wifid took it up aod turned it
over aod over,- and then whirled it like
a spark of fire iu the air and let it fall
gently down tinder the edge of tbe fence
among hundreds of other leaves, and it
fell into a dream tod fever waked up to
tell what it dreamed about H. WBccck
