IS JHKHTIEIfTIIAX THE SWOUDr The Carson "Appeal" publishes the following: It was nearly twenty years ago when Dan De Quille and Mark Twain attempted to start a paper in Mendo cino County. They took the type and material of their recently defunct newspaper establishment in San Fran cisco, and, loading the stuff on a big wagon, struck: out into tlie country to retrieve their "fortune. They packed their type just as it stood in the forms, tied up the articles with stout cords by a process well known to printers, and packing them closely in boxes, vowed to establish a newspaper somewhere which would be the leading exponent of politics and history for the Pacific Coast. Had not an unfortunate cir cumstance taken place it is evident that the newspaper which they con templated founding would have been alive to-day. Their journey over the mountains was utterly uneventful un til they reached Simpson's Station a spot well known to old travelers on that route. Here they met a party of emigrants making for Lower Califor nia, and the later had with them a small mountain howitzer which they had brought with them across the plains. Twain took a great fancy to this gun, and offered fifty dollars for it, with two kegs of powder. The emi grants were glad enough to part with it, as they concluded the time for its use had passed. Dan thought the pur chase of the artillery and military sup plies was a reckless piece of extrava gance, and said as much, but Mark re plied : "When we start our paper we must fire a salute. A newspaper office with artillery has a big bulge on the busi ness. No well regulated olrice in Cal ifornia should be without aiiowitzer. Jf a. man comes in foravalraction-w can blow him into the next country. The howitzer goes." This silenced argument, and the next day the two journalists took the road with their printing outfit and ar tillery. The next night they camjed in a mountain ravine, fifteen miles from Simpson's, and after building the usual camp-fire, fell asleep. About eleven o'clock the horses wakened them by prancing about, and the two journal ists were led to the conclusion that a party of Indians were making arrange ments for a night attack. In the clear moonlight human forms could be dis tinguished about half a mile away at the foot of tho ravine. The idea of en countering Indians had never entered the heads of the two fortune-seekers, and thev had no arms. Suddenly Twain brightened up, remarking: "The howitzer?" "We've got nothing but powder,' said Dan. Well, powder'll scare 'em ; and we'll load her up." The piece was immediately loaded with a good big charge, and the two men felt quite certain that the Indians, hearing the roar of the gun, would beat an unconditional retreat. The piece was hardly loaded and placed in position when about forty of the red skins came charging up the ravine. Twain seized a brand from the camp- fire and was about to lay it on the touch-hole, when Dan veiled "Hold on 1" as he rammed something into the mouth of the piece and remarked : "Turn'er loose." The roar of the howitzer echoed through the lonely forest, and the sav ages, with frantic cries of pain, reeled down the ravine in wild confusion. "What in h 1 did you put in 1" ask ed Mark. "A column of solid nonpareil and a couple of sticks of your spring poetry." "The poetry did the business, Dan. Get out one of your geological articles for the next charge, and I guess it'll let the red devils out for the present campaign." The savages again advanced. Mark attending to the powder, and Dan as sorted the shot, so to speak. "Jeeras Pipes's song, 'My Mountain Home.' " "Good for three Indians sock'er "An accrostic by John B. Ridge, in long primer." "It'll paralize 'em." "Frank Pixley on the Constitution half a column of leaded brevier." "If it hits 'em the day is won." "TIIE TEX I JACKSONVILLE. OKEGON: MARCH ,10 1SS(. "Your leader onl'Law and Order.' " "Save it as a hyjresort" Dan pulled the type out of the box es, and stuffed colwnn after column in the howitzer's mouth as 'the savages came charging on. Another round from the gun;ancrthe red-skins rolled over and over each other, like boulders swept away by a mountain cloud burst. Mark, in an ecstary of delight pulled an American flagf out of his effects, nailed it to the taj'-board of the wag on,.and wajjJiSaciake a speech, when the duskv figures of the foes were once more seen moving to the at 7. tack. The piece was again loaded, and this time with a double charge. Mark's leader on the "Law and Order;" the puff of an auction house, by Fred Mc Crellish, "as a sickner," Dan said; Frank Groos'a verse on "The Rebel Yell;" an agricultural article by Sam Seabaugh, showing the chemical prop erties of corn juice as an educational lever; a maiden poetical effort by Oliv Harper, and some verses by Col. Cre mony and Frank Soule completed the load. "That poetry reaching 'em first will throw 'em into confusion, and my edi torial coming up on the heels of the rest will result in a lasting demoraliza tion. It will be like the last cavalry charge of the French troopers at the battle of Austerlitz." For the third ana last time the faith ful howitzer belched its typographical compliments to the advancing foe. The havoc was terrible. There was a wild yell from a score of savage throats and then the low groans of the dying floated up the ravine on the gentle wind. The two men walked over the field of slaughter and counted fifty-six aboriginals lying in heaps. The bod ies were horribly mutilated with non pareil, bourgeois, "cans," misery dash es, and unassorted pi. "My leader cooked that mans "goos,'''feaTd33Hrk,'pointing to a sav age hanging over the limb of a cedar. 'My geological article did the busi ness for him," rejoined Dan, nodding carelessly at an Indian whose head was lying twenty yards away. "The pen is mightier than the sword." "You bet Hurrah for Faust and Gutenburg!" "Is there any type left?" "Not a pound." Ten days later the two journalistic tramps reached Virginia City weary, discouraged, and footsore, and secured places on the "Enterprise." Fine Tuorooghbred Horses. The Yreka "Jonrnal" of the 3d says: Jay Beach of Linkville, Ogn., arrived here yesterday from Lexington, Ky., with another lot of fine blooded horses, comprising two stallions and five fil lies, accompanied by a colored Ken tuckian who knows considerable, by long experience, about fast stock. One of the stallions, a light bay of Hambletonian stock, is three years old this spring, and stands 15 hands high, strong muscled jet active, and the oth er, a dark bay of Cassius M. Clay stock, is also about the same age and ! size, both making a splendid team. Four of the fillies are Hambletonians and one Cassius M. Clay stock. Mr. Beach brought them up from Reading by thtr Sacramento river road 4-and intends taking them this morning to Linkville, via. Bogus road up the Klamath river. Mr. Beach is one of the most enterprising horse men in Southern Oregon, having about two years ago brought seven head of thor oughbreds from the East, among them the celebrated stallion Altamont. This last lot is generally acknowledged at the East, for the number, as one of the best bands of horses that has ever left Kentucky, and in a few years Mr. Beach will have some of the finest to be procured on this coast, or in the Eastern States. He has already a large stock of fine horses of noted breed, and by mixture with the lot, will still further improve the stock at his horse farm. A little more than forty years ago all the table cutlery used in the Uni ted States came"from England. At present out of an annual consumption of nearly 3,000,000, worth, England supplies but eight per cent, and this country not only manufacture near ly all that' is needed at home, but ships large quantities to .South America, Australia and "Europe. I'EKCIIERO't HOUSES. The "Rural Spirit published inPort land, has a long article on the Per cheron stock introduced by W. G Myer into Oregon and after refemng to the unaccountable death of JMr. Myers' fine stallions, concludes; "that parties jealous of the growing popu larity of the Percheron stock, have dealt foully with them. Indeed, from the singular circumstances surrounding the death of these animals, Mr. Myer, has-tbe -bestreasnntouJ)(li.ye.w,that they were poisoned, as there is no rea son for them not doing as well in the climate of Oregon as in their nature Normally, or in tho colder climates of the eastern States. Mr. Myer is one of the most enterprising slock men in Oregon, having spent large sums in introducing this and other valuable stock and he should be treat ed fairly. The "National Live Stock Journal," which will be conceded by all as high authority, has an an arti cle on this stock, in which the editor says, after expressing his surprise that a rumor of such a natuu should have gained credence: "Turning to the first volume of the Percheron-Normal-Stud-Book for data with which to satisfy ourselves as to the facts in the case, we found that, of the six importations made to Ohio prior to 1860, the average term of life has been 24 j ears, with ono still living. The earliest age at which any of them died was in the case of Rollin (418 of the Stud-Book), foalded in 1852, imported 1856, who died June, 1869, aged 17 years. Old Louis Na poleon (281 of the Stud-Book), foalded 1848, imported 1851, died August, 1871, in his 24th year. All the oth ers live to be 25, and one mare is yet living in her 28th year. (This is the dam of Myer's White Rose and Doll, 18 and 20 in the Spring.) When it is considered that those French draft ve culiany uniavoiriiis showing of longevitBHemarka- ble and speak volumes in favor of their constitutional vigor. The editor of the "Spirit" adds: The above article so clearly estab lished the reputation of the Percheron breed ot horses that there need be no more quibble as to their being healthy and long-lived. But few horses, if any, in this or other countries have more clearly established their own reputation than White Prince and Pride of Perche as pure-bloods. They have so generally stamped the progeny with their own color, kith and kin, that we are not wondering from due justice to the memory of these truly celebrated stallions to say that they have estabilshed a well-pronounced fam ily in the northwest. The circumstan ces of crossing the blood on the Indian pony mare weighing 800 pounds and producing colts at two years weighing 1,200 pounds, is well known here and so important an event tuat we now see cuts of Indian dam and Percheron colt in the Percheron Stud-Book. We feel satisfied of two things, that with this explanation prejudices, if there has been any against Mr. Myer's stock will be removed and that to Mr. My er belongs the credit of introducing the first and as pure blood as has ever crossed the Rocky mountains. His love for good stock is praiseworthy, and 'in order to benefit the public of Oregon, he went to the purest foun tain for his supply. And in closing this article we say, may the good judg ment of the people say, as we have said, 'let no guilty animal murderer escape. Evidence points, as we are informed, to certain things and places, but many a dark deed has gone un punished for the want of jiositive proof." From au excellent article upon the Percheron horse, in the February num ber of the Harpers Monthly Magazine we make the following extract. The Percheron horse is undoubtedly the moit symmetrical and owerful for his size, and possesses the finest action and greatest widurance, of all tho large breeds in Europe. His gen eral type is also the most ancient of any of which we have record or tradi tion, and this is the principal reason why he is more prepotent than others in transmitting his superior qualities to his offspring. Virgil, in the third book of his Georgics, gives us a brief description of something like the Pet cheron, which was probably a type of V,nmr"i nr nlmncf win many horses that had been imported in his time from Northern Gaul into Italy, as better able to perform the harder and heavier work of the Ro mans than any of their own native and lighter breeds. Of the Normans, one of the lest de scriptions I have met of them by for eigners was given by a celebrated writer on horses, the late Mr. Apple by, of England, while travelling in France about the year 1830, repre sented them as particularly excelling hr -tough feet, strong legs, compact, powerful form, free action, good wind and endurance. Their average pace on the road, drawing the great heavy lumbering diligence of that day, was eight miles per hour. They performed their prescribed stages with such ease to themselves that, so far from appear ing fatigued at the end, when unhar nessed and being led back to their stable they displayed all the spirit and gajety of colts, rearing up nnd launch ing out in the most playful manner. The "Maison Rustique, Du Huys, Gayot, Villeroy, aud tho Encyclopedia de 1' Agriculture" have given their history, and fuller details of their per formances on the road, and the varied work of town and country. Tradition asserts that the first great improvement in refining the large horses of France was made by Barb stallions captured from the Moors. In 713 they crossed the Pyrenees from Spain to France with a counties cav alry host, led by tho fiery Abd-er-Raham. The following year they ad vanced to the broad plains between Tours and Poitiers. Here they were met by the sturdy Charles Martel, well surnamed the "Hammer," at tho head of his French horse, which being of so much heavier weight than those of the Moors, he was able to rido down the latter in repeated charces. and thus completely overwhelmed them. Thous ands of these fine Barb stnllions were clirttl"(for inarvs), and dis tributed among the French soldiers, who on returning to their farms bred them to their own large native mares. The best most uniform of this produce were then selected and coupled among themselves the result of which, togeth er with other well-made crosses from time to time since that period, gives us the improved Percheron and Nor mans of the preset day. A STUINCE HALLIC'IMTIOV, Rev Henry F. Williams, tho evan gelist, had an extremely annoying episode in St. Louis the first week in February, and the affair having creat ed considerable stir in church circles we condense the following statement from late St. Louis pajiers; We presume it is generally known to our readers that Moody, the evan gelist, (of Moody and Sankey fame), has been holding nightly meeting in St Louis for the past two months. Mr. Williams has been assisting him as leader of the choir. Among the thousands who attended the meetings was a lady, past the prime of life, named, Mrs. Williams, who is a mem ber of the congregation presided over by Rev. Dr. Marshall of the Central Church, and who is vouched for by that gentleman as a very sincere and devout Christian. The first time she attended the meetings kJio was accom panied by a lady friend, and, as soon as the singing' commenced and the clear musical tones of Mr. Williams were heard throughout the room, she turned pale and, addressing her com panion, said; "That is my husband's voice." At the close of the service she returnd home in a slate of great agi tation, passed a sleepless night, was much preturbed all next day, and, when evening came, again attended service, and was again impressed with the conviction that the voice was that of her husband, who left her more than 20 years ago and who was su posed to be long since dead. To more fully tatisfy herself, she determined to see and speak to the singer, and, at the close of the service, while the congre gation was disjiersing, when Mr. Wil liams came down the aisle she instant ly recognized him and addressed him. As she was a total btranger to him, when she told him he was her long lost husband, he was astounded. Site persisted jiowever, and, said, in proof of her assertion, that he had a .scar on his face, concealed bv his whiskers. Mr. Williams assured her that she was mistaken as to his indentity and that he did not know her; whereupon bhe ADVERTISING RATES.

The next day she went to Mr. Moody and told him a long story, which may bo briefly surnmarrized aa follows: That she was married to Mr. Williams in 1851, at which time ho was twenty-two years old; that they removed to St. Louis in 1852, where he became clerk in an oyster Faloon; that in the courso of a few months ho took to drinking and gambling and then dcserted'Iier: tVat'nfter a year or two he returned to her, she having ia the mean time gone to her mother's home in Michigan; that they shortly afterwards engaged in the hotel busi ness in Illinois and did well until ha again fell into dissolute habits; and nbout this time she was taken sick with the small pox and when she ro covored was so badly marked that ho became disgusted with her and ab. sconded again, since which time she has never seen him. Mr. Moody questioned her closely, and suggested among other tilings, that she appeared to be much older than Mr. Williams. But sho declared her story was true in every particular and that Mr. Williams was much old er than he appeared to bo, Mr, Moody then told her he would thoroughly in vestigate the matter and if Mr. Wil. Hams was guilty he would not shield him. Meanwhile the matter was kept m quiet as possible, but the rejorter of tho "Globe-Democrat" got an inkling of it, aud after diligent search found the woman and interviewed her. What she told him was published, under startling headlines, in last Friday's is. sue of that paper, anil the matter thus became a subject of general comment. To a man of Mr. Williams' nervous temperament the publication of such charges was distressing m the extreme, but Fo'tunotgly, it to short time to conclusively demonstrate that the woman's story was false from beginning to end. Thus, ho had tho proof on hand to show that he was born near Hannibal, Mo., on the 4th of November, 1847, so that the tiijjs the woman claimed she was married he was only four years of age! There are hundreds of people in Hannibal who knew him as a little school-boy at the time the woman claimed ho was the drunken clerk of an oyster saloon in St. Louis, and scores of others, per sons of unimpeachable intgerity, who have known him every year of his life. According to the woman's story he is upwards of fifty years old; but to thcaa who know him as we and many of our roaders do this is simply preposterous. In short, the woman's story has not the shadow of a foundation to stand on, and Mr. Williams' innocence ia so palpable that it is conceeded by everybody. The strangest part connected with the affair is that tiio.se who know tha womau well, including her pastor, be lieve she is perfectly honest and sin. cere in her statements. That she is mistaken is beyond all question; but that she has made the charges for tho purpose of blackmail or for any other ulterior object is not believed. Sha senis to be simply laboring under 4 hallucination as .strange as it is unac countable. How excessively annoying it must be to Mr. Williams and hu excellent wife, those who are acquaint' ed with them and know how delicate sensitive they are, can readily imagine. They certainly have the sympathy of all their friends in the embarrassing situation in which, through no fault of their own, they find themselves. Origin of Familiar Phrases. The term "masterly inactivity" origin' ated with Sir Jos. Mcintosh. "God tempers the wind to tho shorn lamb," w hicli everybody, who did not? sup posed it was tlie Bible, credited to Sterne, was stolen by him from George Herbert, who translated it from tho French of Henry Etienne. "The cup that cheers but not inebriates" was convened by Cowper from Bishop Berkley, in his "Siris," Wodsworth'a "The child is tije father of the man" is traced from him to Milton, and from .Milton to Sir Thomas Moore. "Like ungels' visiu few and far between" is the offspring of Hooks; it is not Tho. Campbell's originated thought. Old John Norris (1659) originated it, and after him Robt.
