The subject of this biographical sketch is one of the first permanent set tlers in thin valley. Born in Campbell county, Kentncky, he inherited" the ad venturous Bpirit of the early emigrants that "dark and bloody ground," made famous in history by the daring ex ploits, of. Daniel Boone and' his heroic cotemporaries. leaving the State of his nativity in 1839 ho -went to Texas and remained' ten years, when the fame of California attracted his attention, and in 1849 he, -with a company of neventv-five others, started overland for the New Eldorado. The meanB of conveyance frere inula teams and the expedition iras named "The Company of Equal Rights," with Smith as Cap tain. 3QgF came- by T?ay of Cook's trail -whidhled by El Pasga and up tba Rio Gqinde. Aftw innumerable pri vations, dangers and hardsWps, they arrived in California lata in the Tall in small companies, the original com pany having separated on the route, Captain Smith's first mining was done on Dry creek forty miles from Sacra mento city. Thence in tho Spring of 1850 he came to Beading and in a short time returned to Hamilton, a small town near Marysville, where he took up a settler's claim whioh he sold the following Spring and came to Yre ka, then a new camp. Now mines had been struck in what is now Josephine county, Oregon, and the Captain start ed hither after a short sojourn in Yre ka, In the Fall he returned to Jackson county and located on a donation claim near Ashland, where he remained until the Fall of 1878, when he sold out and removed to a neat residence in Ash land, which he had constructed some years previous. Captain Smith being the first settler in Oregon, south of "Wagner creek, had much trouble with the Indians whom he controlled by dealing firmly but justly with them. He was frequently threatened by them and took part in several engagements in which numbers of the settlers were killed and wounded. As the country Bettled up and society's organized rep resentative men rre required and Cank Thos Smith was soon placed at "Therront, by nis pariy tneroia" Veflbr- aonian Democratic organization, to rep resent them in the Legislature. He was elected once under the Territorial and twice under the State organization. He always acted according to his best convictions of right and won the res pect of all who came in contact with him in his legislative career. Capt. Smith is a widower with but one liv ing child, a daughter now grown to womanhood, with whom he lives in his village home respected by all who know them. KEET lent CHILDREN ON THE FABH, Oneof the gravest andmostserious mis takes of the day is the desire of par ents to elevate their children as they imagine they do, above the labor of farm life by pushing them into towns and cities. It is a fatal error. It is said the age is fast, that our children must keep pace with it, but it is only the people that are fast, all else is as it always was. The cycles of time are the same; natural laws unchanged; it takes,an oak as long to grow as it did a million years since; bone, muscle and character just as long to davelope and mature as it eve did; but, unfor tunately, not half so long to decay. "We say to those who are fortunate en ough to own farms keep your children on them and save them from the fast life and the degrading influence of -tawjij crs tha a. .leach your sons and daught- tnat lanor is, whether ol brain or muscle, all alike, none more noble than another. Show them that agriculture, the first and legitimate pursuit of man kind, makes men and women with J healthy phisique, self poise and character. Observe the lesson that nature herself teaches. Look at child hood in its simple purity, eager for a day even among the flowers and fields of the country, and breathing in the pure air like a new life. Again look at the youth with hesitating, unformed vacillating character, yearning for the gilded pleasures of towns and cities, yielding to the desire for fast life and finding it when too late only a feverish dream. Thought will follow tho plow and grow broader and stronger til man ly character is developed and matured and the names of the many great men who have lwen called from agricultural pursuits to shape our national policy hpar witness to this truth. Do not push your children into over crowded trades or professions; if the Creator has so willed it they will find their way there as water finds its level. Only be too happy to have a farm on which to keep and educate your children, and where they will bo ree from the con tact of vice and frivolity, till as men nnd women they can resist the world s temptations. V . ass. BcxiwArs lkctckbbV The course, of lectures announced by MWAhigailScott Duniwayended Wed nesday evening, at all except one the at tendance was very good, and on that par ticular evening there seemed to be a I universal fear on the part of the men that they might hear something" un pleasant, and coMfcquently they staid away. Perhaps they expected to hear enough at home, and worn with the business cares of the day had no desire to anticipate. At all events the supe rior sex seem willing to show the white feather and by unmanly capitulation left her the miatress of the field. When a lady assumes a public position she invites criticism, and the examination of her theories should be fair,- without reference to sex or "previous condition of servitude," and to say that her lec tures were the mere twaddle of a dis contented woman would be unfair. To say they had na. IjAhfeon many of the abuses of eKould be oujvotj thailixvy weRrEoiTunuuusrf with common sensoand truth would f b falsa. Indeoi they were a strange, grotesfUfinoael) of philosophy andphys ics, plain commoA sense and things cal culated to excite the mirth of tho audi ence, all grouped round the "central idea" of woman suffrage. Mrs. LDuniway has achieved prominence among those who hope to redress woman's wrongs and reform the abuses of society, but we do not think that her zeal is controlled by the calm sober judgment taught by .history and expe rience. Universal, complete, unlimited female enfranchisement political and! social, all embodied in the right to vote, is to be the panacea to cure the civil, polit ical and social ilia of life. In this we differ. Reform to be lasting must be gradual, and life bears burdens that no legislation may lighten; society itself inflicts wrongs that only the slow growth of pure and sound sentiment can redress. In our opinion this sud den, full enfranchisement would only increase the cares and responsibilities of female existence. Let us grow wise slowly. Let us observe the les sons of nature and not try to quicken an oak into a mushroom growth at the expense of fibre and strength and dur ability. Let us try partial suffrage, first the right to vote on all educational and moral questions, the right to say whether saloons should be opened on Sunday or opened at all. and we do will be successful. Mrs. Daniway is hardly fair to the sterner sex; hardly fair to her own in asserting that wom an is weak and, powerless. She with holds history and forgets to tell of the notaplo instances of woman s, tyranny y and by what subtle, gentle power she governs. She might have told us of many a Cleopatra who, with a wave of her jewelled finger, ruled all the nations of half the earth through a weak and doting Antony, and hava added that lore rules the world to-day but it suited hr better to mako us shoulder all tho Bins of omission and commission. As a lecturess Mrs. Duniway is bright, spirited, witty, cultured, modest and thoughtful and shows strong will and extraordinary ability. Some of her theories are extravagantly Utopian, seme of her pictures of life sadly and truthfully real, others overdrawn and extravagant. Let us be fair to Mrs. Duniway and listen to her as gentle men. If we are afraid she will say something unpalatable, then there is something wrong. If we are as we claim to be, guiltless, surely w,e need not fear to fane a woman. Hot lec tures will ba found very entertaining, and as we have all learned something from our own it would be singular if we derive no instruction from some body else's mother. li m Several papers having copied our item announcing the fact of a. turkey gob- lernatohmgbnTi5d-i56Vi)pCTir-m- . brood of Borne 16 young turkeys, ap pear to doubt the truth of our state ment This fact can ba substantiated by a larg number of citizen as well as oursalf, wip witnessed the gobbler tak ing care of his young flock and gather ing them under his wings as, carefully as any old hen All the neighbors on Main street, near Mrs. Smith's residence and at the gas works close by, as well as others who called to see the strange freak of a turkey gobbler, can furnish the documents to Sustain the truth of the turkey gobbler's motherly care, if any one will put up a stake that our sUtement was not correct "Yreka Journal" m The Pacific Coast Board of Engi neers have chartered a steamer and will examine the various ports north of San Francisco with a view of ascer taining which is the proper point for (the location of the harbor of refuge. It is supposed a decision will be made by the middle of September. Dr. Glenn, of Colusa, New Constitu tion candidate for Governor of Cali fornia, has been endorsed bv the Dem ocratic convention, & The 'Ores;onW and "Standard," both ready tor denounce Conkling and Lamar for disgracing the senate by foul language, seem to have caught the infection. "Thief," "liar," scoundrel," "puppy," "cur," and similar expressive adjectives are bandied freely, and it is quite humiliating to know that men proved by each other to be only fit for the Penitentiary should hold the posi tion of educators of public opinion and morals. It is not flattering to the dig nity of the editorial profession and will not increase the. influence of the press when it is known that it can be guided by "thieves and liars" just as well as by gentlemen. Judge Rosborougb, of Yreka, a bit ter anti-constitution man, now wants an office under the new constitution, having accepted the Democratic nomi nation for Superior Judge of Shasta county. It is astonishint; that the Judge would accept office mixed with anything objectionable, but chronic of co uoefreM aniluacu like ss. old toper' who swallows a- cocktail in which the wrong bitters have been put They only want the cocktailthe bitters don't make much difference. 19TH ANNIVERSARY.
