came back to her domain With the old
weary look on her' face, and resumed

week's ironing in the forenoon, owing
to a few little hinderances, such as the
skimming of a hundred pans of milk,
and the washing of the milk pans, the
working an4 packing of a tub of golden
butter (Mrs. Grey's butter, was ; excel

so much of her life away in its produc

children for school, the chamber work
and washing of dishes for a large house

little trifles sandwiched' between1,' each
with its complement of a dozen steps or

THE ;IVJ OF UIKMWf.
Tbeebaw, the king of Burr-nib, is ono
of tho most depraved wretches on the
fitco of the earth.' Ilis recent saerilicH
ot seven hundred beings, to propitiate
tho gods and save himself from deal h, is
only efpiale.d by the terrible butchery
which' followed his ' accession' to the
throne in 187P1 He is only twenty
years of ogt and is thus d;hcrilud :
When the ministers of the old king
pronounced Thef haw his successor and
seated him tion tho throne, he was a
tall, well-built, personable young man,
of i.mooth, olive complexion, withu
good forehead, - clear, n'.wfly, blight,
black f,ii", a,fir:n, but pleiHaut mouth,
a full, setiNual chin, and a will of bis
own. Of this lost charurteriHtie, Theo
haw as we may . b pardoned for call
ing him fur short -sj-ecdily gave nnmis
tuk.iblo proofs The ministers who had
odvaiirod bim, among tho ; youngisfc of
Mindune, Mill's sons, over his elder
brothers, wero within three weeks im
prisoncd in the royal stableK, there to
meditate tixm the facts that ' coiixtitu
tioiiril reform is a ticklish and rixky
undertaking when nil tho traditions of
the throne ate thoo't of aLi-oliit-isut,and
that a very slight taste of iowr is
strftjcimit, under such cireiiiimtiincci, to
t raiifcfyi in a branlless, pliiilil.; boy into
tho worst typfi of an hIi1uIm monarch.
Instead of llnse nilvi--r of his father,
he surrounded himself with iiiee, or

close to his head. ' -:
"I think, parson, that it refers to

lips when th-i glass fell, shattered by a

During the htte war Gen. McLaws,
now postmaster at Savannah,was riding
down the picket line and encountored a
genuine son of tho old Pine Tree State
on duty, who had taken his gun "apart
with the intention of giving it a jthor
ough cleaning. The General halted in
front of him when tho following con
versation ensued : ;
"Look here, my man, are you notr a
sentinel on duty V
"Well, y-a-s, a bit of a one !" '
"Don't you know it is wrong to take
your gun apart while on duty Y'
"Well, now, who the d I are yon !"
The General saw bis cbaree,and with
a sly twinkle of the eye, replied; "I'm
a bit of a general." , '
"Well, Gineral, you must excuse me.
You see thar is so many d n fools a

vii. tnuiiiiui, ininoin, rtporieu
to the house from the select eoiiirail
teo on pension", bounty, and back

mldier of the war of th rebellion.
The jslnt of order was raised that the
bill had been Improperly referred, a.i
the committee named had ti3 Juris
diction over tho ul jct matter of the
bill. The speaker pro-teinporo, Mr.
Ul'iekburn, ruled that as the reference
was the order of the houne it wax

tho public oalendar, and when it wa
reached In the howe if it had leen
Improjerly referred a motion wuld

Tho bill, however, was not projerly
reiwrred, a Mr. Thomas did not ac-
cotipany it with a report In -writing. ,
which under the rules, he la required
in do. The bill provides that there
shall be allowed tu ami paid to each
and every r on-commissioned officer,
muHieian, artificer, wagoner, and pri
vate soldier or enlisted man who en
listed in the service of the United
States in the war of the rebellion. and
who was honorably di-tcharged from
such service, tbhe sum of 3.33 per

actually served- -In cae he has been
discharired before tlm aixnlratlon nf

the tturgcons certificate of disability or
wounds receired In action with the
enemy in line of bis duty, such
bounty shall be paid hlra for the.
whole term enlisted. In computing
and ascertaining the amount of mon
ey due to any person under this act,
there shall be deducted therefrom
any and all bounties already paid
for such services nnder any law
of the United States. No bounty,
however, ii to be paid to or .on ac
count of any person for serving as a
sulx-titute in the army, or who was

It seemed, theiefore, that when tbe
men had been caught in the act and
sentence passed upon them, that a heal
thy reaction had set in and we were
about to see the end of it. Instead of
this, however? the board of pardons
weakens at the eleventh hour and the
Governor appioved their recommenda

contempt in which all good men hit

that Governor and that boa id fathoms

The tiorf vary sensibly conclude!
that the. construction of a harbor of

will be charged to Oregon, and it will
be next to impossible to get any Con
