The subject of this sketch was honi in Henry County, Kentucky, ScpU 18, 1808. In 1820 the family emigrate to Missouri and settled near St. Louis, then a small French village. Educational advantages were poor and as a consequence young Lind say had received but little education up to his fifteenth year when, with a few young associates, he escaped from home nnd enlisted under Gen. Ashley of St. Louis for a trapping expedition to the Rocky mountains. One divis ion of the expedition with the heavy baggage, ascended the Missouri while the remainder with pack trains proceeded by land. At the Pawnee towns the river party was attacted and defeated by the Indians and wasdriven back M Council Bluffs.AIIerc young innlecate and soulWJHJCfs w sick and were sent with the founded back to St Louis. After this he return ed home but his restless spirit lorujed for a more adventurous life than was there afforded him and he followed tradincr on the river for a time then worked for a while in the newly dis covered lead mines of Illiois and after wards served as a volunteer in the Black Hawk war. In January, 1831 he was married, in Cole county, Mis souri, to Elizabeth Miller and soon af, ter removed to Southwestern Missouri where he built the first saw-mill erect ed in that part of the State. In 1843 he crossed the plains and became a settler in Polk County whore in 18-14, he served as a member of the first volunteer company organized to protect the new settlements against the Indians. In 1846 he was one of the fifteen men who hunted out the South Road from the Willamette valley to Fort Hall; in 1848 went to the newly discovered mines in Califor nia by land and returned by water; in 1849 raised a company and went with Gen. Lane in pursuit and to the caj ture of the deserting regulars from Oregon city; in 1850, removed to the Urapqua; served there as Special Indian Agent under Gen. Palmar; in 1853 -went to the Rogue River war as a Captain of volunteers and was with Gen. Lane at the treaty made by near Table Rock. In 1859, he removed to Jacksor ied for a time at 1 nnteers went to the plains for THCTBrtec- tion of emigrants; in 18G2 served in the Oregon Legislature as a member from Jackson county, acted under Superin tendent Rector as special Indian Agent for Southern Oregon; in 1864 was In terpreter at the Klamath and Moddc treaty and in the ensuing year was ap pointed sulvagent and served at Klam ath until 1869 when he removed to make room for a military agent. There are those who believed that had "Uncle Lindsay" Applegate remained in charge of tho Lake Indians all would have gone well and that the bloody drama of th.3 Modoc war would never have leen played. Mr. Apple gate, now in his 71st year, resides in Ashland in this county, ne is one of those strong and restless spirits who hew out the way for civilization in the wilderness and who are never theless willing to id liberally in pro moting the refining influences of an ad vancing civilization. He takes a deep interest in the success of our Pioneer society and was last year its President Mrs. Applegate, for nearly half a cen tury a generous, amiable and faithful helpmeet, still resides at the old home at Ashland. I'BACTICAIi EDUCATION. Last week we had something to say on the subject of female education. We held the educational training of women, under existing rules and the ideas now prevalent, to be more with a view to make her an attractive arti cle in the matrimonial market than to qualify her to stem, independently, the inevitable current of life. What shall we say in relation to the foolish, not to sav criminal, neglect in train ing boys to become practical bread-winners, It will not be denied, by any reasonable person that it is man's province to provide for his own house hold the necessaries of life. To do this requires labor, no matter what avo cation is selected in which to operate. The erronious idea is now inculcaated life he is exempted from toil. What a foolish delusion; whaf, a cruel decep tion upon the untrained mind of youth. F.DITOBIAL COttRESFO.NDEMX San Francisco, July 25. Sentinel: I wish I could tell you all about my splendid trip over the Siskiyou's, through by the Sacramento route, and all about this big city, but must wait till I am better able to write. The ride to Redding by the C. fc 0. Stage line, although a little tiresome, is splendid, and as you go whirling along at a swinging trot, past cliffs and curves, you wonder that accidents are not of ten recorded until you look at the quiet self-possessed drivers who know every inch of the road and then you know why. At Redding a sleeping car is provided, and after two nights without sleep it is more than a luxury, and you "et breakfast in Marysville after a re freshing rest I arrived here just in time to have the honor of witnessing an event long anticipated by your peo ple the happy union of Dr. Aiken and Miss Ida Martin.

In no department of professional life can there be found one in which success is attained without labor. The pro fessions are full, while in every other avenue of industry there is a, demand for workers. In the harvest field, the machine shop and on all the vast improvements that are going on in this country there is a demand for labor at wages which, thirty years ago, would have been taken with alacrity by the young men of that day. Why is it not o now Why do we see so many young men and boys sitting listless, on the street corners of all our towns and villages waiting for something to turn up by which they may make a dollar without labor?

The fact is as obser vable in Oregon as elsewhere. This is especially true in the case of the Dem ocratic brethren. Tlieirentral organ, the Salem VMercury," is relentless in its hatred and denunciation of Gover nor Thayer, for no other perceivable reason than that when elected, as he never should have been, his distribu tion of patronage was as distasteful as Jt was unprofitable to the friends and managers of that journal. The Govern or seems not at all disconcerted by the assaults of his heme paper nor the ti lence of the other Democratic -wipers .of-tkB State. He preserves a prudent silence and pursues his course with the most provoking indifference towards liia assailant or those who ignore him. The "Mercury" is to be commended be cause it is so bold as to kick when the party harness galls, if it has not suffi cient independence to go back and ex pose the last State administration, now on trial for high crimes and misde meanors. Such action is not to be expected however, of papers forced to run on the narrow gauge of partizan politics. They do not think for tliem selves, for the reason generally that they aro incapable of intelligent -thought We bhall watch, with in--tense interest, the result of the family broil now going on in the Democratic household of Oregon. Hut we shall sot be surprised before the next elect ion, to witness a happy re-union of the liscordant follow ers after the Demo- jcrat J uggernaut luere are no ties so as the bonds of mutual I an as and :rv mend ot tree government is con strained to advocate its continuance. Dut there is no 5fnying the fact that in many of the so called, higherinstitu tions of learning enough attention is not given to teaching boys the value and necessity of labor. Hence we say, while girls should be taught tho duties of the household, boys should be trained to labor in the fields and the workshops, no matter what their pros pects in life. There is no other safe guard against possible misfortune and consequent misery. Two thousand years ago this truth was taught and from that time until the present the men wno nave ruled the uestemes ot the world have been innured to toil and proud of their avocation whether it were humble or exalted. In a coun try like that in which we live there is no excuse for idleness. The young man who says he has nothing to do simply acknowledges that he is qualified to do nothing. Let us have a system of education teaching boys how to work, and not how to avoid it, and a great advance will have been made towards a higher state of virtue, prosperity and honor, both public and private. a Pres i j tan onuisterrwno oienuea witn ti rite of his church a part of the beauti ful Episcopalian service, the groom placing the ring on the bride's finger as a memorial of unending fidelity.

Jacksonville Lodge No. 10, O.l?. The "Statesman," referring to Whit eakers bill appropriating 3,000 to place a monument at the birth place of Washington, exclaims: "It has been one hundred and forty-seven years since Washington was born, and there has been no monument placed to mark the spot, How sad, then, to think what "might have been" had this all important work been deferred nine mouths longer." That's so. Good heavens: The Father of his coun tro might have been a girl. Storm at Linkville. On the 20th instant, Linkville and vicinity were visited by a terriffic thunder, rain and hail storm.

A tabulated statement of the offi cial returns of the representatives in Congress shows that tho Republicans in the House represent 257,000 more votes than the Democratic representa tives; hence the boast that the Demo crats represent a majority of the peo ple is not true.
