"
0UR BEAUTIFUL RIVER."
Communicated.
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

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

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

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

"beautiful river." Let us have no

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

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.

"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.
