True Story.
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

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

It is said that the Oregon Pacific

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.

Shame and confusion and utter failuro

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. ,

between two Iteasts Campbell and

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 .

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

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'

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.
