the Sbenfi 'of Coos county, was put
under arrest by order of tbe. County
Judge, on a charge of embezzlement.
The April terra of the County, Court
opened on tbe. 7ih and went through
its regular business during 'the wetk
until Saturday, when the Court called
upon the Sheriff to make bin ex
After overhauling bis books
napcre it was discovered that'hVfi
to aocfjqjit(for $3,200 that he ha'debl
lected from tax-payers. Judge Lowe
asked him what he had done with it.
Tli en for the first time Mr. Sleeper
showed a little excitement, and plac
ing his bands in his pockets, said he
had used it, but he thought there was
Eoine mistake, for he didn't think he
was so much behind. The Jndge
asked him what he had expended the
money lor, and be answered that be
had bought a rnule. The Court asked
him it lie paid three thousand dollars
for a mule. He answered "No; he
had improved his place some."
The Judge then fixed his bonds at
$3,500 for bis appearance at the next
Circuit Court, but as he failed to give
such bond he now lies in jail.
The writer of this was in company
with Mr. Sleeper much during the
term of Court, and he seemed as
lively and pleasant as usual, attending
to his business with alacrity, as was
his wont to do, and no one would hat e
thought he bad any forebodings of ap
proaching trouble.
Mr. Sleeper came to this counly
some six or seven years ago, from
Jackson county. He had lived at
Willow Springs a short lime, I think,
and kept a saloon at that place. He
is a man ol about medium bight, black
hair and dark eyes, which are rather
small and generally on the move from
one object to another. In fact, he is
rather quick in all bis moemt'nis, and
his general deportment indicates fit m
ness and energy, and many supposed
that he was making a good officer.
Soon after be came to this county he
was nominated by tbe Democratic
party for County Clerk and was dc
feated. Two years ago last June he
was elected Assessor by the same
party, aud last June he as elected to
the office he has now fallen from an
office he had long witbed for.
Although the unfortunate man is
possessed with a large amount of in
telligence, yet it seems that he feels
unconscious of hat ing committed any
crime, for he says he used the money
to liquidate some of his liabilities and
expected to hae been able to refund
the money, but the people don't see it
in that light, and more especially his
bondsmen, who have no sympathy for
him. There are ten of them, and they
now evpect to pay the county the
thirty-two hundred dollars, as he has
no property, or anything that can be
found to pay with.
Your writer having been acquainted
with Sleeper for a number ol years,
and he being a congenial, "hale fellow,
well met," naturally feels a sympathy
for him, and during Court week called
on him and his family, which consists
of a wile and two bright little children.
They Eeemed to be living in what you
might call luxury for this country, and
appeared to be happy and enjoying
domestic bliss. But now how things
have changed. On the hill in that
cozy cottage is a weeping, broken
hearted wile, who but yesterday was so
happy, and a lew paces from her,
within those iron bars, sits her once
ambitious husband, with liberty
snatched from him, hopes that were
once so strong scatteied to the winds,
and that once peaceful mind in tor
ment. What a change J

the jail ,He was silting with bis
back toward the door, his elbow rest
ing on the lack of the chair, and his
bead leaning upon his hand. He did
not seem to heed us as we passed un

started up in bewilderment, as it
seemed. I extended my hand, saying
"How do you do, George?" His
countenance changed, and it appeared
as though be would nearly sink. In

TRIBUTE, TO GENEIIAL CANBY.
'Wherr'lov eel1 ones die and especially
when; ties are severed by sudden and
appalling calamity, it is an impulse ot
surviving friendship to interpose its
humble tribute to stay thcT march of
that inevitable oblivion, which awaits
without exception all the' inhabitants
of earth. Soon or late, in years or cen-
turif or ages, ;it must come alike to
the-jowly or great , Char's i two thou-
sand years and Homer's three thou
sand years are but moments in the past
and poets as great who have never
heard tieir name," will stand upon
their unremembered graves. Tlut Friend
ship still brings its evanescent offerings
to the tomb.
Ou Good Friday, the eighth anniver
sary of the assassination of the illustri
ous Lincoln, Edward R. S. Canby fell
by the hand of a beastly and treacher
ous slvage. Neither the pages of his
tory nor the legends of tradition can
furnish a parallel to this cowardly and
treacherous murder. In all future aqes
let us hope it will stand alone in its
enormity, and unapproachable in the
relative costliness ot the sacrifice.
An eagle towering in his pnu(-of place
Was by a mousing owl hawked at and killed.
He has fallen in the height ot his
usefulness, in the early autumn, of his
years, and in the full vigor of his un
wasted manhood. It is hard to realize
that we shall no mote listen to his
counsels nor bo cheered by his,' pres
ence. He has passed away forev'er, but
ho has left to us a valuable inheritance
in the memory ot his virtues and the
benefits lhat may grow out of his ex
ample.
It 1 write nothing in his praise, which
I have not spoken in his life, I shall be
acquitted of' any affectation of rcnti
inent. A little while ago he stood among
ns, grand m stature, peerless in form,
cultured in mind and hiffli in station.
vet shrinkingly modest in demeanor;
truthful, brave and generous ; just and
merciful ; spotless in character and
pure in heart, 'without fear and with
out reproach." an intellectual andmor
al giant among his feliow men. Ordi
nary business integrity looked like
dross beside the gold of his refined and
sensitive honor. Home, in her purest
and brightest davs, could boast no
braver soldier nor better citizen. It
seldom falls to tho lot of bereaved
friendship to describe a character at
once so strong and beautiful. There
lives not on earth to day a man who can
point to a stain upon his name. In the
writer's half century of life he has nev
er met a truer, justrr, nobler mtn. He
was a living retulation ot the damnable
heresy of knaves, that "every man has
hi price." None but a- stranger or
fool would have ventured to cost mark
his honor. In him were blended all
the best attributes of manhood. Fear
less of danger, yet he feared to inflict
piin or wrong upon any human heart.
Regardless ot self, he was ever watch
ful for others. He curtailed his own
wants that he might minister to the
needs of the poor ; and their blessings
will follow him to the grave.
To little children, though himself
childless, he was more gentle than a
mother. His great heart went out to
the poor and helpless of every race and
color; even the vile wretches who
slew him had no more patient, charita
ble friend. If he had enemies, they
must have hated him for his virtues.
He bore upon his manly front the im
press of a featless and honorable soul,
and no one who knew him will say it
was a talso index to his character.
Among his friends and associates there
is no recollection that is bitter but the
thought lhat they 6hall see him no
more. He will be laid in a patriot
soldier's honored grave, regretted by
all who knew him, and regretted most
by those who know him best.
11 our grief is great what must be
hers, who now broods in lonely sorrow
too deep far tears, at her woe stricken
hearth, io her, who for more than
thirty years has been the worthy com
plement of his grand and noble life,
and the sharer ot his trials and tri
umphs, it is useless to offer the condo
lence of our natural aud most earnest
sympathy; it cannot reach her crushed
and broken heart. "Alas! not for the
dead, but lor the mourner whom ho has
left 1 In death even love is forgotten,
but in life there is no bitterness so ut
ter as to leel that everything is un
changed except the one being, who
was the soul of all to know the world
is the same, but that Us sunshine has
departed." D. T.

Why is Lvce Costly. Tho manu
facture of lace is carried toiits-highcst
perfection in Belgium. The finest
specimen of Brussels lace is so compli- ,
cated as to requiro the labor of seven .
persons on one piece, and each 'opera- '
tivo is employed at distinct features of
the work. The thread used is of ex
quisite fineness, which is spun in dark,
underground room, where it is suffi
ciently moist to prevent the thread
from separating. It is so delicate as
scarcely to be seen, and tho room is so
arranged that all the light admitted
shall fall upon the work. It is such
material lhat renders the genuine Brus
sels ground so costly. On a piece of
Valenciennes, 'hot -two inches widCJ "
from two to three hundred bobbins are
sometimes used, and for the larger
widthas many as eight hundred on the
same pillow. The most valuable Val
enciennes is determined by the number
of times the bobbins have been twisted
in making the ground, the more fre
quent the twists the clearer and more
beau'.iful will be the lace. Belgium
annually sells of this lace alone to the
value ot over 84,000,000. Chantilly
lace is always black, and is used chiefly
for veils and flounces. It is very fine
aud is extensively worn. Mechlin laco
is made at Mechlin, Antwerp and other
localities.

How Not to Do It. Did you ever
see a woman throw a stone at a hen ?
It is tho most ludicrous scene in every,
day life. We recently observed tho
process. The predatory fowl had in
vaded the precincts of the flower-bed,
and was industriously pecking and
scratching the nutritious seed or the
early worm, blissfully unconscious ot
impending danger. The lady now
appears upon the scene "with a broom.
This she drops and picks up a rocky
fragment ot the Silurian ages, and then
makes her first mistake they all do it
of seizing the projectile with tho
wrong hand. Then with malice afore
thought, the further blunder of swing
ing her arm perpendicularly, instead of
horizontally thereupon the stone flics
into the air, describing an irregular el
liptical curve, and strikes the surface
ot the earth as far from the hen as tho
thrower stood at the time. At tho
second attempt the stone narrowly
missed the head of the thrower herself,
w ho, seeing that any further attempt of
the kind would bo suicidal, did what
she might have done at first started
after the hen with her old and familiar
weapon. Exchange.

Newspapers. They credit wider
and longer, get oftener cheated,
suffer more pecuniary losses, aro
oftener the victim of misplaced con
fidence than any other people in
the community. People pay a print
er's bill with more reluctance than any
other. It goes harder with them to
expend a dollar on a valuable newspa
per than ten on a gewgaw. This is
wrong and unjust. Yet every one
avails himself ot the editor's pen and
the printer's ink. How many profes
sional and political reputations and for
tunes have been made and sustained by
the friendly though unrequited act of
the editor? How many embryo towns
and cities have been brought into no

press? How many railroads now in
