Aged 68 year, 8 months and 5 days, Mother, thou hast gone and left ui, Left us here on earth to dwell; Thon hast gone to meet th dear ones, Who have joined the angel throng. Thou hast gon to meet thy savior, In the home beyond the ski, There to await th oomiug Of th loved nae. left behing. Thnq hfcat crowed th mystic river With th boatman pal and eold Thou hast anchored safe with Jesus i Where th white robed angel dwell, ( Mother, thou hast gon and left us And our heart ar sad to-night A we meet around the fireside And behold the vacant chair. 1 V can hear thy last words, mother ' A around thy chair w knelt, Meet, O, meet me, up in heaven. Glory to God! then, breathed thy last Teareat mother, w will meet you When th fleeting life is o'er. Mother, father, sisters, brother! all In that happy home above. Then, farewell, mother, farewell, dear one. Till we meet above the skies Wrhere no death can ever enter. Where the loved one never part. Llncoio and Hooker. A few evenings ago we had the pleasure of hearing the following remi ninence from MVdorum Crawford. "I was at Washington when General Hooker v. as in command of the army of the Potomac, and, President Lin coin, who seemed to harlior misgiving as to his ability to handle fto manj men, asked me if I had known 'Fight' ing Joe when in Oregon, and if ro, what I thought of I im. I told the President that when he was in our country he was engaged in building a military road, and of course, in that line of tiusinPS.H had to develop more muscle than drain. "Is that all you know about himl" asked Mr. Lincoln. "No," I replied, "there is one other thing. When he left Oregon he started a chicken ranch in Sonoma, county, California afterwards bought by Qeorge Watrous, the old landlord ef the famous Oriental hotel in San Fran oisca' 'Nothing very curious about that' aid Mr Liucoln. 'No,' I re plied, 'hut when he went to stock the ranch v aforesaid the San Francisco poultry man sold him nothing h(lt roosters.' Th next week I accompa nied Mr. Ljucolu to the front, and in a large tent we met Gen. Hooker and his stair in full uniform at dinner. It was a stiff impressive, unconiforU He affair, and conversation was stiltN fied, wIihh the Prepident with a merry twinkle in his eye, broke into tliecon- rrrsatinn with, 'General, I hear you stared a chicken . ranch once, when you lived on the Paoific slope.' 'Yes sir, I had that experience,' replied the soldier in a tone expressive of fear of whut was to follow: 'Did you do welll" 'Not very.' 'Why?' 'Inex perienco, I supp aV 'Inexperience, sure enough,' said the President, as a broad smile lit up his face, 'any men who would buy roosters to run a chicken farm on, I have my opinion of.' 'Yes,' said Hoeoker, 'thai Oregonian, there Medorum Crawford, tcld you that -1 have a great notion to have him shot for a spy.' Then a roar of laughter went up from the strait laced oflicers and the table from then on was one of the most sociable I ever put my feet under." A horrible story is in circulation at Seattle It is to this effect: An Italian hoatiran left Victoria one day last Summer with seven Chinamen for the American side of the Strait of Fuca. When almost across he saw United States cutter Oliver Waloott cojuing towards him, with the evident intent of examining his craft. U became alarmed, and to avoid the penalties at taching to the offense of smuggling Chinese into the United States, re solved to make way with the evidence of his guilt. He called the Chin mien out of the cabin, one by one and as they came Btruf k tUeiu on the head with a cluli, ai;4 pitched tlu-m over board. In this way Im sot rid of the whole number, and whn boarded from the cutter no evidiiftoe of a criminal nature was found. An investigation will be :nade with a view of ascertain ing the truth or falsity of the story. A recently convicted smuggler now in the United folates penitentiary tells this story. Miss Matlie Mitchell, youncest daughter of Senator J. If. Mitchell of Oregon, is reported as about to marry a trench duke, tier sister married a government cleric." i P1ELESS COLCBCL'S. Bill Kje Lamcnlt (ha Mtagra Reward of i C eat Pioneer. Probably few people have been more successful in the discovery line than Christopher Columbus. Living as he did in a day when a great ui' ny things were still in an undiscovered state, the horizon was filled with golden oppor tunities for a man possessed of Mr. C.'s pluck and ambition. His life at first was filled with rebuffs and disap pointments, but at last he grew to be a man of iinportanoo in his own profess ion, and people who wanted anything discovered would always bring it to him rather than take it elsewhere. And yet the life of Columbus was a stormy one. Though he discovered a continent wherein a millionaire at tracts no attention, he himself was very poor. Though he rescued from barbarism a broad and beautiful land in whose metropolis the theft of less than half a million of dollars is re garded as petty larceny, Chris, himself often went to bed hungry. It is not singular that the gray-eyed and gentle Columbus should have added a hemis phere to the history of our globe, a hemisphere, too, where pie is a common thing, not only on Sunday,but through out the week, and yet that he should have gone down to his grave pitiless. Such w the hictory of progress in all ages and in. all lines of thought and investigation. Such is the meagre re ward of the pioneer in new fields of action. I presume that America to day has a larger pie area than any other land in which the Cockney English language is spoken. Ritdit here where millions of native born Americans dwell, many of whom are ashamed of the fact that they were born here, and which shame is entirely mutual between the Goddess of Liberty and themselves, we have a style of pie that no other land can IkmuU of. ' ' ' ' From the bleak and acid dried apple pie of Maine to the irrigated mince pie of the blue Pacific, all along down the long line of ingneoux, volcanic and stratified pie, America, the land of the freedon bird with the high instep to his nose, leads the world. Other lands may point with undis sembled pride to their polygamy and their cholera, but we reck not. Our polygamy hern is still in its infancy, and our leprosy has had the disadvan tageofa cold backward Spring, but look to our piel Throughout a long and disastrous war, sometiim a referred to as a fratri cidal war, during which this fair land was drenched in blood, and also during which aforesaid war numerons fright ful blunders were niade which are fast coming to the surface through the courtesy of participants in said war, who have patiently waited for those who blundered to die off, and now admit that said participants who are dead did blunder exceedingly through out all this long and deadly struggle for the supremacy of liberty and right as I was about to say when my mind began to wubble, the American pie has shone forth' resplendent in the full glare of a noonday sun or beneath the pale green of the electrio light, and she stands forth proudly to-day with her undying loyalty to. dyspesia untram melled and her deep and deadly gastric- antipathy still fiercely buraini; in her breast That is the proud history of Ameri can pie. Powers, principalities, king doms and handjnade dynasties may crumble, but the republican form of pie does not crumble. Tyranny- may totter on its throne, but the Aiufiican, pie dors not totter. Not a tot. No foreign threat has ever been able to make our common chicken pie quail. I do not say this because it is smart; I simply say it to fill up. But would it not do Columbus good to come among us to day and look over our free institutions? Would it not please him to . ride over this continent which has been rescued by his presence of mind fronthe thraldom of barbarism and forked over to the genial and re fining influences of prohibition and pie, America tills no mean niche in the great history of nations, and if you listen carefully for a few moments vnu 1 wilt hoar some American, - with his The American is always frank and per fectly free to state that no other coun try nn approach this one. We allow no little two for-a-quarter monarchy t excel us in the size of our failures or in the calm tndi self poised deliberation with which we erect a monument to the glory of a worthy citizen who la dead, and therefore politically vaeleas. The careful student of the canter of Columbus will find much in these line, mouth full of pie, make that remark, that he has not yet seen. He will realize when he comes to read thislittla sketch the pains and the trouble and the research necessary before such art article on the life and work of Colunv bus could be written, and will thank me for it; but it is not for that that I have done it. It is a pleasure for me to hunt up and arrange historical and biographical data in a pleasing manner for the student and savant. I am only too glad to please and gratify the student and the savant. t I( was that way myself once and I know how to, sympathize with them. Bill Nib. P. & I neglected to say that Co. lumbus was a married man. Still he i did not murmur or repine. B..N, i Strnnge Death. A few days ago, in the town of Mir-, ton, this State, Robert Elliott was passing the store of J. B. Williamson and as he passed he poke to William, son, who was standing on the walk in front: "Hello! Old Fatty." Williamson said: "Co away from, here; don't want any trouble with you," and went into the store for a pick-handle. He came out to the front again and punched Elliott away from the door; then laid the implement aeainst the building and went into, the i tire. Elliott said, "Come out here," with, an oath. I can lick youl" Thereupon Williamsom stepped out and slapped him u the face. Elliot grabbed the pick-handle, and struck, at Williamsau's head. Williamson' threw up his hand to ward off the.' blow, and was hit across the haiuV which resulted in the breaking of two,' finders. Williamson went into the store, sat.' down a moment; then went into tWa house, back of the storey and had Dr. Weston called to dress his hand. Soon after he felt worse, and in half an hour died A Gaston correspondent furnishes, the Hillsboro Independent with the following horrible report: "Alfred Poteet has fled the country after having ruined a 16-year old sister, who has, been left to suffer the shamo and dis grace of having fallen, and more terri ble yet, an infant daughter to curse, him through all his days." .
