Tlif vu'um of ilm United States to a poor boy itt that it pmniU liim to m just as fast a.s liu can chuili. Xo pult lio opinion, class jealousy, nor licri'ili (ary aristocracy intorposcs the sliylitcst o'istacle to his ascciit lfi may reach tho top, if ho can, no matter how low down he may Ktart. Sixty years ai;o, says tho Youth's Companion, a poor man, a tliirtl ratu schoolmaster, canio from England to St. Louis. Ho hud a largo family, and ouo of his boys, IS years old, was made, a ltrof.d viunnr. Ono day, as tho hoy was driving a dirt cart, which, wilh tho old horse that hauled it, his father had managed to buy, he passed a Baptist church whero the circuit court was holding its ses sions. The hoy, hearing a voice, as of some one speaking, stopped his horse by tho sidewalk and entered. The young cartman had never before been in court, and it happened that Edward Dates, the orator of the St. Louis bar, was addressing the jury. Tlie boy listened with ull his oars and was so fascinated by tho advocate's elo quence that ho stood there until tho speech was ended. Then ho went out a changed boy. Driving home, he look the hnrso out of tho cart, put him into the stable, and sought an inter, view with his father. "Father," said the excited boy, upon uhem tlie vision of another life had dawned, "I don't intend to drive a cart any more.'' "What are you going to dol" asked the futlmr, in a tone which showed his iiv.utiuii at the boy's solf-assertioii. "I am going to be a lawyer." "Lawyer!" exclaimed the old gentle mini, as much astonished as if his son hint aiinnuiiced his determination to bi'conie President of the republic. "Yi s, sir. I'm going to hi: a lawyer," repented tho boy. 1 ' Ina few months the liny was over in niiiidis .teaching in a log school house. Jim. "kveping school'' in those days, though a little more profitable than driving n jirt cart, was not a paying liUiiii'vis. In two or three years the youth stepped out of the school hou:-e into un office whose lettered "shiii"h" announced that "Edward V. linker, Tliomsonian Doctor", was expectantly waiting inside for cafls from patients. When ho had earned a little money he left off prescribing herbs and began preparing himself for administering the law. Entering a lawyer'H office, p studied hard, and was admitted at Isngth (o tho bar of Illinois. The people of Illinois sent him fo Connss, and the Mexican war put him into the field, whero ho distin guished himself as the colonel of a reg i.neiii. Subsequently lie removed to On .: nnd in 18C1 returned to Wash- iutm : 'United States Senator. When the war broke out he raised a regiment of volunteers, and leaving tho Senate chamber, whero he had shown himself tho equal of tho elo quent Benjamin, led them to Ball's BlulT. "Lio down, boys! lio down!" lie shouted to his men, on seeing their ranks decimated by the enemy's bul lets. They obeyed, but ho Htood erect, a target for the slurp shooters. "Why don't you lie down yourself, colonel?" shouted a prostrate soldier. "My boy!" he replied, "a senator of the United States can't afford to' lie down before the enemy." In a few minutes ho fell to the ground, dead, with a bullet through his brain. The cart-driver had become a hero. The strength of his purpose had be come tho measurement of his attain ment We see by our California exchanges that organizations and conventions are being held all over the State nienor alizing the Central Pacific Itailroad Company to continue the California & Gregon branch to a connection with the Oregon & California road at Ash land. . . . It is said that the Oregon Pacific Railroad will continue its line through Eastern Oregon as fast as possible, In the bright lexicon of Mr. XUach's cruisers there is no other word but fail The Orrunn TariNc. Rumors have been afloat for some time regarding the intention of the Oregon Pacific ta extend its line from Corvallis on over to Eastern Oregon and to make a connection with tho Oregon Short Line. . But the financial difficulties of tho company as evidenced in its tardiness in paying ofF its em ployes tended to discourage the idea of such a design on the part of that com pany. But the rumor received some confirmation in last Saturday's dis patches, which stated that Manager Iloag, in an interview at San "Fran cisco, declared that tho road "will. he at once extended from Corvallis into Idaho." There will be no trouble or delay about surveys. Three different routes from Corvallis to the summit havo been surveyed and platted. The first crosses the Willamette river at Corvallis, passes through Tangent, Lob. anon, Sweet Home, and on up the South Santiam river along the line of the W. V. it C. Mt. W. R. The sec ond line surveyed crosses the river at Corvallis, curves to the left and crosses the Q. it C. H. 11. about two miles and a half south of Albany, passes on near Knox Butte, crosses tho South Santiam just below the mouth of Crabtree creek, thence to Scio, crosses Thomas creek abovo Scio, and on in a general north easterly direction until it crosses the North Santiam some distance above Mehama; thence up the North Santiam to the summit. Tlie third lino begins at Corvallis and follows down on the west side cf the Willamette to Albany, whero it crosses the river ami curves somewhat to tho left, passes in north of Knox ltutte, crosses the South San tiam below tho mouth' rf Thomas creek, passes on in north of Scio and comes to tho North fr-autiam at tho same point where the second line crosses. From this point the second and third lines arn the same. 'ilm Hartford Courant, General Joo Hawley's paper, a paper which may be Hi to have grown old in tho Repub lican party, snys: "We are bno people, North und Smith. The oli root of bit terness is now, thank God, only a re membrance. Tlie Union is infinitely stronger in 18So than it was in 1 8Ci, or iu 179."), for that matter. The Hug in as d-'ar in South Carolina as it is in Connecticut. Wo are ono people. Shame and confusion and utter failuro lo the unworthy American, North or South, who in this now day, and with Grant's words to Buckner before his eyes, seeks to rekindle the embers of old strife!" General llawley is ono of tho mon who got "warmud up" during tho war. He, and his father before him, a good Congregational clergyman, were abolitionists before tho war, but they never allowed tlieir hearts to be gangrened with hate to the Southern people. In tho northern part of Nebraska an Irish colony called Jackson has been settled for twenty-nino years, six of the colonists of which are worth from M 0,000 to 90,000 each. They were very poor when they arrived there, and wero so discouraged by the desolate appearance of the prairie and the loneliness and desolation,' which affected the Irish so much, that if they had had money they would have left. Fortunately they had not. Ihey had come up by steamers from tho South ern States, where they had been dig ging ditches. , An exchange ay.';; "You piay hive all the stars in a nail ko, hang the ocean on a rail' fence to dry, put the sky in a gourd to soak, unbuckle the bcllyband of eternity, and let out the sun and moon, but never delude your- celf with the idea that you can escape the plaeo on the other side of purga tory unless you pay the printer," Oregon is making progress in civili zation. A genuine bare-fist prize fight between two Iteasts Campbell and Reilly is to take place somewhere on the Columbia September 12th, and the animals are now in training.

Dexi'or Ite'ma, It Fcemft that some ol thn hoys who went a few days ago to tho springs had quite an adventure. Two of therri wero quietly fishing along tlie hanjks of ! the ever placid Middle Fork, when they espied what seemed to them- a ! terrible monster with tail erect and jaws agape ready to take thorn in out of the cold. To say that their hair stood on end like "quills on the fretful porcupine," is putting it too mild. They at onco concluded that it was not a good timo to fish, and thinking "dis cretion tho better part bt valor," they fired a shot from a revolver at this (they didn't hardly know what to call it), wounding it slightly, and then skeedaddled for camp, the animal doing the same. After procuring: reinforce ments and J. W.Hill's dop, they re turned tn tho attack ami had tlie satis faction of placing hers du combat a little starved panther. . i . P. S By grapo vino tolpgrnph from Kitson's Springs, Aug. 24.--Lucien Parker and Al Keeny, who had thn en counter with one of the wikl leasts of tho forest, recently, are reported to be out of danger, and their many friends need feci no fear on thir account. Tho outrageous reports that their, hair had turned white and that they liad shed then too nails, we believe were startud for political effect. ;- r Billy Button. tftbsitr'i Furtwtll. i The following is an extract from Mr! Webster's nocturnal speech after his defeat for the Presidential nomination. at tho Whig National Convention in- June, 1852, and is full of mournful pathos. It was his farewoll .to public lifo and to all hopes of reachim? thi goal of his ambition: - i "Gentlemen, this is a oerene ana-, beautiful nisht. Ten thousand of th lights of heaven illuminate the firma ment. A fow hours honce their glory will bo extinguished. . 'Yt atnni that glitter in the akiea, And daily dance befnr my yn, i What are ye when the iuu ahull rieef "Gentlemen, there is not one .among you wlio will sleep better to night than 1 shall. If I wake, I shall learn the constellations; and I shall , rise in tho. morning, God willing, with the lark; and though the lark is a Imtter song ster than I am, yet he will not leave, the dew and the daisies' and spring up to greet tho purpling earth with a more hli'.ho and jocund spirit." ' Somebody 1ms calculated that the' advertisements in a recent Saturday issue or tno jLonuon lintes brought In about $11,000. This would rti'ake $00,000 a week, 8261,000 a month,' and $3,108,000 a year. Tho number consisted of twenty four pages, and of these fourteen were filled with adver tisements. This is larger than tho av. erage number, and the total income for a year from tho advertising U probably not more than threo-fourths the above sum. or near v 82.500.00O a vear. - s ' What the expenses tf the paper are, nobody but tho proprietors and two or three others know. The highest sti niates have, nowever, never exceeded S'2iJ,0p0 u week, or one-half the proln- ablo receipts. The once popular and puissant Wil- liam Mahone has shrunk away to such en extent ss to be almost - invisible to the naked eye. The present adminis tration seems to regard him with the same haughty indifference with which a well-bred gentleman views a half- smoked cigaretto in the gutter. Chi cago News (Ind.)
