AND FKIEADS. BT SAMUEL WOODWOnTH. (Tbe late Samnel Woodworth, printer, was a literary man and one of Nature's Poeis. Tliougb hi? dujs are numbered and ended, bis productions remain us living monument!, to bis memory, and will bear republishing while time i-lmll endnrr. among the choicest of which are the ''Old Oaken Backet," nnd tbe following breathing a sentiment in every line:) When the black lettered list to tbe gods wa3 presented, The list of what fate fr each mortal in tends. At the Ion.; string of ilia tha kind goddess relintcd, And slipped in three blcsaioga wife, children and friend3. In vain surly Pluto declared he wa3 cheate , And .Tiitic divine could not nccompli'h her ends; The scheme of man's penanca lie snore was defeated, For earth became heaven, with children end friends. If the stocks of our bliss in stranger's hands rested. The fund ill eecored, oft in bmkruptcy . ends, But the heart issues bills which are never protested, hen drawn on the Cm of wife, children and friends. The soliliers, v!io;e tkeds live immortal iu fiory, When duly to fur dlHtitnt Inlitiidissriult With irjnporl would barttr whole ugea ot For one happy hour with wile, children ui.d trhlids.

Altltougli it tvas Itelievcd that the Great Eastern would be well-nigh use less after her value as a passenger steamer had been disproved, bho de- velops latent capacities every once in a while that shows her builders to have been wiser than they knew. Every body remembers the immense servico she rendered in laying the Atlantic cable, which, without her, it is highly probable could not have been success fully put down. She has laid a num ber of cables, and has in that way bepn a benefactor to the whole of civiliza tion. !Now she is to be employed m a new manner as a calue transport be tween England and Texas, making regular trips between London and Gal veston. She will carry, it is raid, 2300 head of cattle, and 2700 head of sheep, and will thus go far toward feeding the British metropolis. Not withstanding her first failure, she seems to be destined to be a sort of connecting link between the mother country and her Republican daughter. Bon Ixgersoll is in favor of infla tion, but it must be the right kind. He says, "I am in favor of inflation produced bv industry. I am in favor of-the country being inflated with our corn, with our wheat, good houses, booksj-pictures, and plenty of labor for everybody. I'm in favor of being in flated with gold and silver, but I do not believe in the inflation of promises, expectation and speculation." 1(Do you love me still?" Mrs. Brown asked, as husband was attempting to write an important letter. "Do you love me still?" "Yes, I do," said Brown; and It was the emphasis that broke her heart. Tle lc-sislattirc. S. A. Clarke, the Salem correspond ent of the Sacramento "Record-Union," under date of , Sept. 27th, furnishes that paper 'witE the following report of the proceedings of our Legislature: The session is now through the third week, an'd half through tho ses sion. Measures that take prominence up to this timev relate to assessment and collection of taxes, for which about a dozen bills are presented, lucre is. need of legislation here, for our taxa tion is unequal. But the probability is that the subject will provo so diffi cult and so many views will prevail, that no conclusion can be come to in tho short period of forty days allowed for the session. The worst of it al ways is that the time spent in consid ering such subjects is wasted in a great measure, because the wisdom gained ly the investigation of this Legislature! is of no profa to the next Important measures for the benefit of Portland relate to building a bridge across the Willamette at that place, and regulating tlie price of gas and water. The gas and water companies there have it all their own wav, and have put up prices until they weigh heavily on tho city, and then bills, crea ting a maxium rate, will undoubtedly pass. The Stato is asked to aid in the construction of a narrow guago rail road at the Dalles of tho Columbia, to be about fourteen miles long, and as this measure is of vital importance to the upper country and the commerce of the Northwest, and it will command tho united support of eastern members and ought to prevail on its merits, as well as because it is urged by all that section. Theroare many amendments' proposed to tho school law, and these wilPsiare the fate of amend ments and changes proposed for the assessment law. There -svill not be time to'reviso tho school law this ses bidn, aud no very thiportant changes will take place. A general fund for internal improvements is proposed, and us many schemes are on hand that need assistance, it is very probable that the swaniD nnd overflowed lauds will bo made the basis of such a fund, and the proceeds divided among the applicants. Rogue river valley de mands aid for a narrow track road, to be ninety or a hundred miles long, rcachiug from Jacksonville to Ellens burg, at the mouth of Rogue river. Such a"road will be of inestimable ad vantage to the people of Jackson, Jose phine and Lake counties and it should receive all possible aid. Another road is projected down the Umpqua, from Roseburg to C003 Ray, and that has peculiar merits. Tho people of the west side of this valley already have a narrow track road in operation, and wish to extend it from Yamhill to Corvallis. Besides which there is the Willamette Valley and Yaquina Bay road that is a standing applicant for aid. This portion of Oregon can turn out numerous other deserving objects, and no doubt Eastern Oregon will come in for a full share of the proceeds of any swamp land lunutne otato may be willing to expend for internal improve ments, but the chances aro that Wes tern Oregon will want aid for the Dalles portage and take tho lion's share for the coast valleys. There are a multitude of bills intro duced for everybody has bills that must be ruthlessly swept away to give time for more important measures. Tho unfinished Capitol building must ba at least preserved from decay, and the House, afier a lively debate in Committeo of the Whole, decided up on $20,000 as the amount it was likely to agreo upon for that purpose, and that will barely do enough to protect the structure. That building will re main an eyesore for years to come, un til tho State gets out of debt aud more prosperous. A Constitutional Convention is talk ed of, and one should bo held to give us longer sessions, raise salaries of Stato officers and Judges to a reasona ble figure, and adapt tho fundamental law to the needs of a growing and reasonably prosperous State. Our Constitution has worked well for twenty years, but our circumstances have outgrown it, and Oregon resem bles a lank boy grown like a weed, trying to wear the clothes that cannot pan his girth or hide his extremities. There has yet been no occasion for partisanship, and such occasion may not arise during tho session, unless it be that tho Democrats shall attempt to interfere with tho status of the of fices of Secretary and Treasurer, as some bills propose to do. Even then I doubt if such" interference will be al lowed, as somo of them seem to think it would be ungenerous to take away from Republican officials the honors and privileges their Democratic prede cessors have enjoyed for eight years past Partnerships For the benefit of some of our busi ness men and the public generally, we call attention to the following tection of tho Ciyil Code: Sec. 2479. Persons desirous of forming a special partnership, must severally sign a certificate, stating: 1. The name under which the part nership is to bo conducted; 2d. The general nature of the business intended to bo transacted; 4th, Tho names of all tho partners, and their residences specifying which are general and which are special partners; 4th, The amount of capital which each special partner has contributed to tho common stock; 5th, The periods at which such part nership - ill begin and end. Sr.c. 24S0. Certificates under the I last section must bo acknowledged by all the partners, before some officer au thorized to take acknowledgment of deeds, one to bo filed in tho clerks of fice, and the other recorded in the of fice of the recorder of tho county in which the principal place of business of the partnership is situated, in a book to be kept for that purpose, open to the public inspection; and if the partnership has places of business situ ated in different counties, a copy of the certificate, certified by the reconler in whose office it is recorded, must be filed in the clerk's office, and reconled in like manner in the office of the re corder in every such county. If any false statement is mado in any such certificate, all the persons interested in the partnership are liable, as general partners, for all tho engagements thereof. Sr.c. 2 132. No special partnership is formed until the provisions of the lost five sections are complied with. Sec. 2483. The certificate mcntibiNJ ed in this article, or a statement of its substance, must be published in a newspaper printed in tho county whero the original certificate is filed, and if no newspaper is there printed, then in a newspaper printed in the Stite nearest thereto. Such publica tion must be mado onco a week for four successive weeks, beginning with in one week from the time of filing the certificate. In case such publication s not made, the partnership must h0 deemed general. The Supreme Court has decided that no debts duo a partnership who have not complied with the foregoing pro visions, (jan bo collected by action at law. Tho Third Murderer. It will bo with no small degree of satisfaction, .our readers will learn of tho capture of Johnson, tho last of the O'Shea robbers and murderers. The authorities at once after the affair promptly offered a reward, and took immediate step3 to prevent their es cape bv publishing complete descrip tions. Sward? and Avery were cap tured, a photograph of John&on was obtained and numerous copies taken from it, and distributed, together with his description, throughout the States and Territories. Timo passed and no Johnson turned up. Somo of the offi cials concluded that Johnson had wan dered back into the mountains, and be coming weak from want of food, had perished. Not so, however, he was too sharp for that. He must have mado his. way to some point on tho river and taken passage on steamer, and sailed for San Francisco. On Friday night last Captain Kolly, of the police force, was astonished to receive a tele gram from Emil Harris, chief of police of Los Angeles, saying: "I have James Johnson. Do you want him?" This answer went skipping along the wires: "Yes. Thcro is 330 roivard offered for his apprehension." Kely, to make sura of no mistake, sent an other as follows: "Are you certain he is tho right man. Look for '1 T.' on left leg." Chief Harris responded, "I am sure. IIo has acknowledged everything, and has the letters F. T. on left leg." Capt Kelly again telegraph ed, "Keep him safely. Wc will for ward a man with the necessary papers immediately, who will return with him to Portland." Tho uncertainty about Jolinson has now ended and the ruf fianly trio, Johnson, Brown and Swards will together answer the terri ble crime charged. An officer will leave for Los Angeles on tho next steamer. A moment lost is never gained. An Os'igiiiul Iiiclt. Among the many sharp and original tricks brought toPortland by San Fran cisco beats, to impose on innocent Ore gonians, wur .must mention ono that transpired yesterday. A couple of fel lows promenade tho city to form ac quaintences, and when successful, be gun a discussion on the definition of wrrds. Tho term "transpire" and "per spire" are quoted, and said by them to bo synonymous in meaning. Tho ma jority of men deny tho assertion, and a wager is the result. Webster's dic tionary decides tho bet in favor of the sharpers and to tho consternation of their victim1!, who supposed the words altogether different in meaning. George Collins contributeil 3 yesterday on tho issue, aud the bilks were about to swindle another gentleman out of $20 when Georgo interposed in time to pro- vent it. The fellows were then kicked out of the establishment, arrested for using -vulgar language and fined 610 at the afternoon matinee in the Police Court. We publish their little game for the benefit of those who may be in clined to lose money in tho samu way, as these sharpers are traveling on this lay-out. Portland "Bee." The Pennsylvania railroad runs its fast trains from West Philadephia to Jersey City, 89 miles in one hour and 5 1 min utes, making the return trip from Jer sey City to West Philadelphia in one hour and 50 minutes. Thoi.0 trains stop at .Trenton and for tho grade cross ing at Elizabeth, and are also obliged to reduce speed over tho Trenton bridge, and for nearly two miles pass ing through the city of Newark. And the officers of the road nro experiment ing with a new driving wheel on the engines of these trains by which a still greater speed is expected to bo attained. The new vL-ivc aiL'i, half feet iii diameter, miteadof five, t.n'tVn w' e gineer s estimate that it wiUgStuttSouT 10 miles upon tho old ones in the dis tance named, and mako it possible to reduce their time from Philadelphia to Jersey City to less than ono hour aud 45 minutes. sw- Mouchot exhibits at Paris an appara tus for utilizing tho sun's heat. It consists of a truncated cono mounted on a stand similar to tho tripod of a level, so constructed that the axis of the cone can be adjusted to suit the position of tho sun. Tho inner surface of the cono is polished, -reflecting the rays of the sun toward the axis of the cono where a glass cylinder is placed, serving as a receptacle for the water to be distilled or the fowl to be cooked. With cones 16 inches in diameter and 10 inches high, Mouchot has succeeded in cooking beef in 3 houn; 30 minutes in France, while it took only 3 hours iu Algiers. Poultry was cooked iu 25 minutes in Franco and 20 minutes in Algiers. A largo apparatus having a cono several meters in diameter is to bo erected in Paris between thu Trocidcro and tho Seine. The Duke of Grammont ontercd ono day the closet of tho Cardinal Mazarin without being announced. His Emi nence was amusing himself by jumping against tho wall To surprise a Prime Minister in so boyish an occupation was dangorous. A less skillfull court ier might havo stammered excuses and retired. But the Duko entered briskly and cried. "I'll bet you a hun dred crowns that I jump higher than your Eminence." And tho Duke and the Cardinal began to jump for their lives. Grammont took care to jump a few inches lower than tho Cardinal, and six months afterwards was tho Marshal of France. Although the Chinese language con-tains-words for right and left, these are very seldom used. You will frequent ly hear "the north hand," "the south ear," etc. The packagos on a mule are "too heavy on the south side; thoy must bo shifted northward," and so on. Tho Scotchman who in church asks his neighbor "to sit a bit wast," would be quite at home in China. As curious a liquidation of an old bill as any is that of the young man of Sclbyville, (Ind.,) who has hauled wood to pay Dr. Robinson for attend ing his mother when lie was born, twenty years ago. Tho county hospital at. Sacramento, was burned on tho evening of t'.ie 5th. There were 107 patients in tin bud ding, 100 of whom were bedtildi-n All wcro safelv removed. - lloivartl's Indian i'olicv. Tho Cincinnati "Gazette," tho Id ing paper of Ohio, referring to Gen. Howard's Umatilla council, endorsed tho policy adopted by Gen. Howard nt that time. It very justly anil aptly says: Hcncuforth, individuals of tribes at peace - itli tho United States, who participate with hostile tribes in acts of war, aro to bo demanded of the tribos, to bo tried for crimo-"!? courts. This now policy ho then and thero instituted by demanding liosta ges for tho delivery of tho offenders, and by seizing chiefs upon tho spot, to be held until the hostages were given. That this astonished tho Indians may easily be imagined. Hitherto while the tribes wero upon the resnatiutis drawing their allowances, indiv idti il Indians, even chiefs, would take a turn with any hostile tribes for s-calps and plunder, anil at their leisure re sumo their occupation of drawing ra tions. Tho chiefs denied responsibili ty; said tlu-y could not restrain their young men, and soon. Tho govern ment, regarding these tribes as nations could not bring individuals to account, and w as too lenient to mako war on tho tribe for individual offenses which the chiefs disclaimed. And so tho young Indians had immunity in this attractive exercise. But Gen. Howard has surprised them v ith a new idea. Tho Indians are to be held subject to tho laws of the country, at least while the tribis aro by treaty at peace. At such times individuals who do hostile acs an to be treated as offenders against tin laws, and are to bo tried f or crim To require tho chiefs to seize and de liver these offenders is a justifiably adaption of this administration of ticc to the present conditions The policy i T ri w , aniLj JMjm-i'iWufrOliC of iwi "IT I ures of the reservati n and subsidy system has been that, while the tribo was protending to bo at peace, and ' was supported by tho government tho young braves of tho tribo would join tho hostilcs and take a turn at war. Gen. Howard has struck a blow at this practice as has been presented which holds tho Indians to just responsibili ty. Ellio Wilton, well known to out citizens, as a favorite actress, seems to havo been interested in tho career of Alexander Austin, lato tax collector of Sfln Francisco, who committed suicide in -v iew of his squandering public moil ey in his hands. Several letters from Ellic to Austin were obtained b) tlit- Probato Court, and aro expected to throw some light on what became of his wealth. It is reported that ?30, 000 to 510,000 has beentraced to her, and two policies of life insurance, al ued at 10,000, wore also assigned to iler. They were also to be married on Ellie'a return from Europe.
