"Well, sir," continued the young lad', "the grief aud indignation of the gentleman was unbounded at the behavior of the doghehnd petted so much.

It being admitted that there can be no prosperity for "our young and i growing ?tatc until the name of our beautiful river" is settled, it j i.i ci.iiic u uutj i ueiiiu ii, uiju beautiful river, both in orthogra- thoress, and other learned persons have shown their zeal, while a host of others, some annouymous, and others that Ovight to have been, h ive shown their .something else. Now, I assert that the name of -'our beau tiful river," is neither Willamette, Wallamet, Multnomah nor Ugh-au-la mut pthzz, but they are, one aud all, vulgarisms or dialctical corrup- tions of the correct and proper came. I further asseit that the ancient.and therefore proper, name of "our beautiful river" is "Long-tom"-pro-nounced in two syllables, with the accent equally divided. "Long-torn" in all the different languages I have examined over one hundred and seventy in number, some living and dead means, "beautiful river." To the learned I will suggest that it is only necessary to Latinize a word in order to recognize in its radicals the elements entering into corruptions and dialects growing out of it. Let us apply this rulo to "Long-tom" and observe the facts: Isonfiminus lumbigabusf No one can fail to dis- j COver in this compound word, which i , possesses so much euphony, the rad icals of all the names he ever heard for "our beautiful river." I know not, nor care not, what that stream which discharges itself into Long torn a few miles aboveCorvalis ought to be called; with that I have noth ing to do; but I do declare that Long-torn should bear its own prop- ! ate auu slow1)' typtioiu lever sets in or name until robbed of it by old ond cftrrie8 the Patient to a prema oceau. It is admitted that when I tufe Srave- Whenever walking or Capt. Gray visited the piesent site of ! Astoria he heard no other name for the river than that of Chinook. Now any one can see that Chinook is a corruption of Long-corn, and that the river below where it mouths into Long-tom should be called Long- tum.which must Rottje its name from ! it source to the -ocean. My re-j searches have convinced me that all the different tongues we hear spoken among the Abregoins, as P. S. would say, are mere dialects of ths elegant Calapooia language. It has evident ly crossed the mountains from west to east, and its identity is recognizi ble in the name of an Alabama riv er, the Tombigee, which, when free ly rendered into English means "beautiful river." Let us have no more Pcrtland-on-Wallamet. 'U9 that steal my purse steals trash," tic. Kurpnc Guard. Farming tnd Manufacturing. The total number of persons, male and female, engaged in agricultural pursuits in this country in 1870 was 5,922,503, and the total wages paid them was $310,286,000, or about $55 each. It is to be remembered, how ever, that agricultural laborers usu ally receive their board in addition to their wages. If we estimate this at $100 a year, it would raise the per capita of wages to $150 a year. The whole numier of persons, male and and female, engaged in mnnufactur- jing was 2,053,99(5, and the total Wage paid them was 775,588,000, or about $ 3S7 per capita. This shows ; that the wages of a manufacturing j hand were two and a half times as : large ns those of a farm har.d on the ' average. auo capital invested in lanning, is no show of reason in the tariff The following resolutions were j unanimously adopted by Salem Grange: - Hesolved, That we, as Patrons.de cline to join ourselves to or in any way aid the formation of the North western Commercial Company at this time, and we would respectfully cau tion the membership of otherG rang es from being induced hastily to en ter into combinations with this or any other busiuess scheme. liesolved.

Dr. Hall says that the Aest medi cine in the worlds more efficient in the cure of disease than all the pota tions of the materia medica, are warmth, rest cleanliness and pure air. Some persons make it a virtue to brave disease, to keep up as long as they can move a foot or crook a finger, and it sometimes succeeds; but in others the powers of life are so completely exhausted that the system has lost all ability to recuper- work ls au effort a warm bed and a cool room arc the first indispensable steps to a sum and speed recovery.

Only three months now before the New Jersey women can go bare- footed. "If you intend to hug m$, don't do it suddenly, because the chair you are Kitting on has a broken leg, and you might geia tumble." The young man who resolved to commit suicide because his sweet heart married an undertaker owes his life to the second sober thought that: he might be furnishing his rival a job. An Ohio woman succeeded in putting 23,000 pieces in a bed-quilt, and was as mad as a setting hen when a pawnbroker refused to ad vance her more than $3 on it. After a fellow has been carrying a young lady' glove pinned over his heart for 13 months no one can im agine his feelings as he sees her dash by in a cutter with a clerk's arm i around her. j -I'd like to give something to the poor," remarked a Toledo lady. "It's hard times and tboy lmisPoe suffering, but I've got to uekT:. to buy another switch." Vermont clergymen aro never permitted to kiss tha ladiei t'ley have just made brides. The dear c eat u res put up their hands with ; the remark. "There, that'll do. I've ' seen votl fellows uforo." When a young man in Putigo nia falls in love with a girl ho lassoes her, drags her homo behind his t horse, and that's all the marriage ! ceremony necessary. ' fib doesn't 1 even have to buy the lasso. Jewell has earned tho further adoration of the feminine clerks. He gives the lady employes half an hour at noon to browse around, cither in the building or outside. This priv ilege has heretofore only been ac corded the male employes. The fe male clerks arc inherent grumblers, and ibis tub to the whale of their discontent will divert the dear things but temporarily. Jewell will never CONNUBIALITIES. "Here's another dougbmestic dif- ! ficulty," said a Brooklyn woman as she found her bread heavy. A New Haven man confessed thot he married his wife because she was a good carver. That's the kiud of a help-meat every man wants. A Newark chap who, on short acquaintance, married a widow, ran away when ho discovered that she was the mother of twenty-two child ren. ' A female lawyer in Wyoming was obliged to suspend her argu ments before a justice in order to administer to the wants of her baby. who was bawling for its dinner in an adjoining room. "O I've loved before," said a Detroit woman to her fourth hus band, as she took a handful of hair from his head beeauso he objected to hang out the week's washing. A constable attempted to levy on a Rhode Island woman's sewing machine a mouth ago, and he isn't out of bed yet. hhe struck with her foot. "Helen was proud," said an In diana widower of his hito wife, "aud she was a great worker worker. You ought to havo stood by and see her jerk a bedstead down and go for bugs!" A Maryland man whose wife dropped dead, a few days ago, had the funeral put off one day longer to get the balance of his corn husked. He said it wouldn't mako any differ ence to her, as she was always good natured. A Berlin man's bouse is blocka ded with a bank of snow twenty rod long and twenty-nine feet deep, but his mother-in-law, who is visiting lmu wants to get home, and the dear man shovels from roy, morn to dewy eve.

"JOKING GOING QN," A Scnool house Episode. TtiisJU0 story, it is necdlens to iu a Western paper. Old Uncle Jim my, as ho was called was a strong and devout MhthodUt. He always tookj a leading part us one of the congregation, and omo- j times the "boys" thought he intor- I ested himself a little raore-than nec- essarr r.bout their a airs and doings, for ho was always lecturing some one about their "morals, "and exposing their bad deeds to tho public. So they, tho boys, concluded ' they would break him of this very bad habit. r The school-room iu which the sr vicesjwere conducted was arranged iu their old style tho scats running around the sides of the room. Now Uncle Jimmy had one particular seat whiib be always claimed and occu pied during services. 4 ' Now for tho plan of attack, which was thus: A small hole was mado through the scat, aud a common darning-needle rection it would cause the needle to pai-s up through tho seat, and whoever happened to be on it would receivo the full benefit of the situa tion. . , Will, the time came for trial; the boys were all there carl v. At least Uncle Jimmy came in and dropped into the accustomed seat. No sooner bad bo touched,' how ever, than be bounded up again, with a yell that might easily have been mistaken for that of a mad bull. On looking around for tha cause of his sudden discomfort ha could find nothing and soon all was quiet again. After services had bfgun soma ona gave the string another pull,' when Uncle Jimmy shouted out: , "Joking going on here!" Tho minister nnd loago?10 looked At him, and soroo of them arose in their seats; but, as befors, everything quieted down and servi ces proceeded. After a whilo Uncle Jimmy grad ually went off into the'.' and ofuod," when the string was ' again jerkfd, more resolutely than before. IZocla Jimmy jumped up again rubbing the afflicted part, and exclaimed: "Joking joking go on hera?" This time the parsons and deacons gathered around hioi, and tb boys being no longer able to bold in, burst out buighing, in' which tha rest of tho congregation soon fol lowed suit. A more thorough search waa oade and the needle was found, but not boys. ' ' The mayor of Cincinnati refused to license tho can-can girls becauaa he thought they had too mucli li aense Iready, and a rod-faced 'irl kicked up a leg as big as a parrot gun, and called him an cldazura bowled Presbyterian. f i :
