Tim following Ktrong letter was writ
ten to thn Chicago Tribune ly one of
the aiost dihtinguiahed Republicans m
the country:
Chicago, Jan. 27, 1836
I that Hon. Wm. A. J. Sparks,
Commissioner of tho Ceneral Land
OfTite at Washington, ia the nuhject of
ninny violent attack by certain news
papers, as well as by the stipendiaries
of the land grant railroads. I have no
personal acquaintance with Mr. Sparks,
mu have never seen him, and we are
lis far apart politically as it is possible
for two pien to he. T.ut I desire to
say that in all that I have read in res
pect to his administration of the Gen
eral Land Olllce, I seo nothing which
justifies the attaiks which have beer,
made upon him, so far as t can judge.
In respect to his decisions, they are
8u'is':antially just, and ill accordance
with law.
If persons slFectt-d by such' decisions
are dissatisfied, t would he far better
for tlieni to exercise their right of ap
peal to have sUch decisions reviewed
than to bo assailing the Commissioner
through '.ho newspapers. They can be
heard if they are dissatisfied before the
Secretary of the Interior, Mr. Lamar,
whom I have known since some years
previous to the breaking out of the
war, as a mt'inber of Congress from
Mississippi and a member of the Com
mittee of Commerce of the House of
representatives, of which I was she
chairman; and I can state that he is
not only a very able man, hut a very
just and conscientious man, who can be
trusted in any manner of appeal that
nay come before him. And then, on
law questions, the opinion of the At.
tomey General could be had, who is an
able lawyer and, I believe, an honest
man.
The nenfral kind office for the last
fifteen or tweniy years has, according
to my judgement,, been the , most cor
nipt department on the face of the
i-nrth. For years and years the laud
jobbers and kind grabbers seem lo
have lind full sway there, and it is
quite time they were rooted nut. And
1 am glad to find that an Illinois man
like Mr. Sparks bus had the courage to
attack these etupeiidous abuses and to
attempt to recover for the benefit of
the people at large some portion of the
public lands which had been obtained
from the government by the railroad
companies. J hope that his hands may
be strengthened and that he will com
tinue in the course which he has laid
out for himself. Some say that a
pressure has been made upon (ho Presi
dent and Mr. Lamar, and that it will
he necessary for him to be removed. It
is impossible to believe that such can
be the ease; thit an honest, faithful and
incorruptible public officer should lie
hounded out of his place by the men
whose action he has exposed,and who is
making such laudable efiortH, as I think
he is, to get back for the government
hundreds of millions of acres of public
lands which have been literally filched
from it by the land grant railroads.
In respect to these railroad grants
Mr. Sparks' seems to be traveling in
the 8 nne direction with Judge Payson,
the able Republican- representative
from this State, who is making a repu
tatjon before the country for the oner'
getic action he has taken in the House
of Representatives to get back for the
benefit of the settlers and for tho pub
lie Generally a portion of the lands
which the railroads have grabbed
through the connivance and corruption
of the general land office. Mr. Sparks
deserves to be commended for his
action rather than denounced, and for
one I wish to bear toward him as well
as toward Judge Payson, ny sincere
thanks for the course which Ihey have
taken.

The fact is that men and women die
too soon. As far as the Creator could
provide, and be true to the laws of life,
he has provided for human beings to
hvo to a good old age until they shall
see their children's children playing at
their knees. Adam lived 930 years;
Methuselah 969 years. As far down as
the sixteenth century Peter Zartan
died at 185 years of age. 1 do not say
that tho race can ever get back to ante
diluvian longevity, but I do say the
length of human life will be greatly
improved. Isaiah says in the 65th
chapter and 20th Verse: "Tho child
shall die at a hundred years old." No,
according to the scripture the child is
to be a hundred years old, may not the
men and women reach 15T and even
175 yeara We know that among the
ancient Jews tho patriarchs attained a
Century and over; among tho Greeks
and Romans were many instances of
centenarians, and in modern times ; the
reports cf countries, especially thoso
lying in tho colder regions, show the
attainment of various ages between 100
and 150 by numerous person. Over
2,000 such instances in Russia alone.
These are enough to justify a fair pre
sumption that human life might endure
much longer than it usually does, if
nifii and women wouM study more
accurately their own physical forma
tion, and attend to tho laws of health
and not hurry so fust to get rich. They
would undoubtedly attain ut least their
three score and ten, and in many cases
a much greater age. In tho shire in
which 1 was born, Henry Jenkins, of
Yorkshire," England, died at the oge
of 169, having lived on very plain and
spare diet. Again, Thomas Parr, of
Shropshire, England, at the age of 120
married a second wife, by whom lie
had at child, and iu his 152 year he
died. He lived on milk, coarse bread,
buttermilk and whey. A son in law of
Daniel Boone died in California aged
12) years. 1 James Zyelof has just died
at Odessa, aged 147 years, He has a
grand sou of 85, and a great grandson
of 40 years. He nev.r drank intoxi
cating liquors or smoked tobacco.
Old Mrs. Peak, of our own county.who
lived three miles below Eugene, died
at , the ngo of 103. Dona Eulalla died
in California nt the 9ge of 143. Geo
Lahan, of Monroe county, Pa., died at
the nge of 112. After passing his
hundredth birth dny he sometimes
slept in the woods on tho coldest Win
ter Tiiirhts, Ho voted for Washington
in 1779, and a few weeks before his
death walked three miles to cast his
final vote for Horace Greeley. Lord
Bacon savs t ie sitrrts of lona lite are
slow growth, coarse hair, freckled skin,
deep furrows in the forehead, veins full
and lying high, wide nostrils, large
mouth. Oh, how many people we have
known who hare 'ived out only half
their days- because of their dissipation
and indulgence, God says to the
Christian man in the Bible, Psaln.s, 91
chapter, 16 verse: "With long life
will I satisfy hnn." "When the laws
of health shall receive all needed at
tention, we shflll not only enjoy health
and happiness, but also a good long
life. Health is the outcome of tho
riglft conditions of living.

It will probably be an interesting
fact to a good many readers to be told
that a Chinaman and an Indian squaw
have s lowered eajh his or her self to
Ixi married to the other; yet the Snoho
mish, W, T , Eye, gives the following
statement: "On lhursday morning the
last cf our Chinamen shook SnohumisS
City dirt from their shoe, and depart
ed hence for tlie Flowery Kingdom'.
During the past week they hare lieen
quietly disposing of their effects, aad
they were enabled to go with but little
loss and plenty of fund There were
but four Chinamen in the party; and
there is lit one hi this end of the
county -one that some tiire since mar.
i-ied an Indiutv woman, and is quite
civilized."

Word was received at the ShorifF
office this Saturday evening that mur
der and suicide had been committed in
East Portland. Sheriff Jordon and
Deputies Witherell and Powell hasten
ed to the scene and the following facts
were elicited: Charles Burgess, ait
employe of tho box factory on thaf
side, has for some time past been pay
ing attentions to a Mrs, Siroius,
young widow about 21 yeara old, em
ployed as a waitress in the Depot.
Hotel. The affection displayed by
Burgess had not been reciprocated ort
the part of the lady, and it ia surmised
that upon some pretense or other hej,
gained admission to her room anof
awaited her arrival. As she was in
the habit of repairing to her nora each,
evening bout 6 o'clock, to prepare horj
toilet previous to her time to wait o'rf
the table, it is supposed that upon en
tering he again pressed his suit,' and.
was again repulsed, when he shot her
through the head, and then sent a
bullet on th? same errand into hit own1
brain. A young man named Jones, air,
employe of Geo. Beck, the livery stable
keeper, who applied for supper at
quarter after six, was the first to miss
her, and going to her room found iV
locked. He burst tho door open and
there, upon the bed, both lay, Burgesrf,
having his arm around her and a pistols
firmly clenched in his left hand. The
coroner will hold an inquest Sunday.

The Cultured Democracy.
"ii,x-Uovernor John V. lxingj ol
Massachusetts, was very mtlcH Buf-
prised," said one of his friends the
ether day, "when, duriftg one of his
gubernatorial campaigns) Ben Butler"
mado a very lively attack - on him in
regard to his translation of one of the
standard classical work A strong
Democratic addienco was listening in
tently, when Butler stopped in hi
argument ' and asked rery earnestly:
'Who is this John D. Long, anyhow,
and what did he ever do for the peo
ple' 'I have enderstcod,' he went oni
answering his own question, 'that he
made a translation of Horace, but what
good was a translation of Horace to .
the Democracyl'"
The silence for a moment was pro
found, and tho question was evidently
unanswerable. "Tho Democracy," the
old statesman ended suddenly, are ao-
customed to read Horace in the origi
nal. "
