IN MEBIOKIAM.
Mary B. Merritt, wife of Prof. J
W. Mtrri't, departed this life January
17th, 1884, at the residence of her
husband.
How strange, and mysterious is
death. Life buds and blossoms like
the rose and the leaves of the forest,
and how early is our existence some
times cut down, and we are shorn of
our strength, and how soon we fade
away, like the dews of heaven from
the land of our birth. Sometimes, how
arly in the morning of life is its "gold
snbowl broken," and the spirit takes its
flight to the God who cave it. The
dectated left a kind, loving and devot
ed husband to mourn her untimely loss,
which the world with all its wealth
and dazzling splendor, can never re
store. The good of the world mourn
'with the husband.
In the death of Mrs. Merritt, a
weet, pure and beautiful life went
out. Those who knew her best loved
her most. Across her brief and sunlit
path, the shadow of an enemy nbver
ML
"None knew her but to lore her,
None named her but to praise."
The life of Mary B. Merritt was a
striking example of a pure and well
Dpent life, and a beautiful character.
Her remains were born to the beauti
ful city of the dead, on the sunlit
tide of the beautiful hill that surround
the city, and there buried by the kind
hand of affection, beside the sweet
babe she luricd only some four short
months ago, araid the cedar, the pine
and the laurel, there to sleep the quiet
and peaceful sleep of death, until the
beautiful morning of the resurrection.
Blie is now happy and blessed, and if
vnjojing the smiles f Him she loved,
and has clasped to her bosom ber
angel bate, that met her at the golden
goto, with his little tiny hands ana
oat-stretched arms. Perhaps He will
give her special joy this day, because
the human love that aches to do some
thing for her is so powerless now.
"Her soul with all forms of the beauti
ful was teeming,
And drawing around the smiles of the
pure and true,"
My heart and sad feelings rush
back in thought to her long lost home,
and I sen her husband and beautiful
babe, and my mind asks, what will be
come of them? Oh! how sad is home
without the loved wife, who was the
choice of his youth, the very pulse of
his heat.
All in sad and gloomy now. The
y wind as they hurriedly whisper
tiiruugh the leaves that surround her
ninthly home, seem tD speak in mourn
ful language to the loved ones left be
hind. We knew her in "childhood, when
"her locks of gold were streaming o'er
a brow ho unny bright," whose smiles
were like the sunshine in the spring
timo of the year. She was l.ke the
.bright buds of summer, she has fallen
with the stem. But, oh it is a lovely
death to fade from earth like her.
These years come over me like the
breath of faded flowers upon the
withered roseleaf. Her life was a rich
sunlight blossomed in the air, and fan
cy, like a blessed rainbow spanned the
waves of time. Her thoughts were all
joy and happiness, and revelled in
cloud, and sun and sky.
She has gone to that mansion of
rest, where it is one perpetual summer,
and where sorrow never enters, to
meat those she loved, and whose
uauies ''have been long since carved
on the tomb."
Yes, sweet niece, thy gentle memory
will never grow dim, or be erased from
the cWr tablet of fond memory.
Although, three thousand miles
away from thy sweet resting plac, and
separated, by lakes, deserts, valleys,
and snow peaked mountains, still
weet gentle memory wanders back,
when so recently I met you, in love,
joy and happiness, and parted with a
sweet kjs of good bye. Little did we
then think it was our last a parting
farewell. But memory will cherish
you in the true hearts that loved thee.
We will with sorrowful remembrance
visit your silent home, and then plant
a sweet young rose-tree o'er thy
hallowed grave, and in silent prayer,
auk that the skies may shed their se
renest dews around it, that the summer
clouds may distill their gentle rains
upon it, that the fresh warm zephyrs
tnay fan it with their softest breath,
and daily that the bright ar-d holy
beams of morning greet it with their
warmest smiles,- that it may ware it
rosea o'er thy dust, that the sunshina
will caress it, that gentle zephyrs with
invisible fingers touch each leaf and
spray, and awake harmonies for their
requiem, sweeter than eolianM and
feathered choristers decked in holiday
plumage will come at morning and
evening, with their tribute song, to
dispel the gloom that is associated
with the city of the dead.
"Let her rest; come away, she has fallen
asleep,
And her slumber is holy, tranquil and
deep,
As her own little babe's, as it sleeps on
the breast
That the Muster lulls into infinite rest.
Touch the hands smooth the hair
kiss the brow, pure and white.
For the crown she shall wear is by the
river of light.
And iu patience arise and await.
Till she bcckonB us home through the
wide-open gate."

Gen. Buford, of Kentucky, frankly
declares himself in favor of any man
for the democratic nomination who
has $2,000,000 to spend. We doubt
very much whether all the democratic
editors in tne country couiu have con
densed the democratic idea into fewer
vords than this representative Ken
Xuuktan has done.

The Secretary of State, Hon. 'R. P.
Earhart, certifies to a table of statis
tics of Oregon, for 1883-4, similar to
the one we prepared a year ago from
the returns of the different counties
From this table we gather interesting
facts of a later date. The total prop
erty valuations reach $108,048,286;
money, notes and accounts, $20,760,
995; property exempt, $5,463,118.
Indebtedness, offset, $27,177,661. To
tal of taxable property, $75,306,953.
Amount of State tax for 1883, $412,-
719. Wealth per capita, $621. Tax
lew ot all counties Icr all purposes is
as follows: Baker, 19 3-5; Benton,
16 6-10; 'Clackamas, 22; Clatsop, 20;
Columbia, 19 1 10; Coos, 21; Crook,
16 6-12; Curry, 22; Douglas, 20; Grant,
19 6 10; Jackson, 20; Josephine, 25;
Klamath, 20; Lake, 20; Lane, 16; Linn,
15 6 12; Marion, 14; Tillamook, 22;
Umatilla, 19 6 10; Union, 21; Wasco,
17; Washington, 18 1 10; Yamhill,
17 6 12. Total school ch 1 lren, 69,
075. Number and value of stock, as
follows: Horses, 131,146, worth
$5,364,796; cattle, 284,647, worth
$5,215,82; sheep, " 1,083,978, worth
$,246,870; swine, 112,826, worth $293,
965.
Comparing this table with that of
1882, we find gross values have in
creased sixteen and a half millions;
not values increased a little over ten
millions; indebtedness increase is four
and a quarter millions; money, notes
and accounts are increased nearly five
millions of dollars; total of land acreage
is 200,000 acres more, and valuation
it increased just $6,000,000; town lots
grew in value $1,000,000; horses and
mules decrease 2,200, and increase
half a million in value; cattle increase
only a little over 12,000, and the
valuois more than $2,000,000 greater
than before; there are 75,000 more
sheep and the value has grown from
$1,714,099 to $2,246,870; swine in
crease 2,000 in number, and the value
about $25,000. The value of stock it
$3 000,000 greater than iu 1882, as a
total. Two notable facts impress
themselves, that is: Land values are
very near six millions more, with an
increase of less than a quarter of a
million of acres. Average valuation
$6 32 per acre in 1882, increased to
$7 25 in 1883. The general average
of lands is low enough, but has been
increased one eighth in value. News.
Senator Miller of New York in a
recent speech said: "the last two elec
tions in the- state of New York I re
gard as the brightest signs that have
appeared in politics for the last twenty
years. It means that the people of
this country are learning to free them
selves from old political bondage and
will vote against their party if they
think it wrong." The Albany "Jour
nal" is delighted with this recognition
of the condition of things in the Em
pire state, and thus enlarges on the
text: It is because these things are
true that the Republican party in this
state looks forward to its part in the
coming test of a national election wi'h
absolute confidence. It was not so in
January of 1880, or of 1876, or of
1872, or of any other presidential year
in the party's history. The year al
ways began in doubt often well
founded under the old system. But
to-day there is not a Republican in
New York who does not feel certain
that our electoral voles will be given
to the presidential nominee of the Re
publican party and there is scarcely
an intelligent democrat in the state
who does not agree with hiir.
A Washington letter says: "Ben.
Buttler was here a week and secured
his nomination for the presidency by
the gieenback organ of this city. He
expects this Hi tie move to lead to his
endorsement by the greenback and
labor parties of the whole United
States, and having secured that he
says the democratic party must accept
his candidacy or lose the presidency in
1884:"
Free trade will drive the working-
men all away from the democratic
party, except those to whom a word is
more than any living reality.
Senator Hoar has introduced a bill
in the Senate to increase Judge Deady's
salary from $4,000 to $5,000 per j ear.
A second bill has been introduced to
prevent the United States Judges from
employing their rela ives as Court
Commissioners, etc., and a third to
prevent United States Judges from
accepting presents from railroad com
panies or other corporations, All three
bills will probably pass.
John Kelly is not doing any talking
just now. He is letting that fresh
young Kentuckian, Henry Watterson,
out all the scallops and execute all the
pirouetting. But John knows, and
everybody else except Watterson
knows, that unless John Kelly says
the word next November the demo
cratic party will go hungry and bare
footed another tour vears.

Gen'.Irmen. I boughj one of the

laknjleasure in recommending it to
all farmers, for it gives perfect satin
faction in cutting and elevating the
jrain, and in binding it. It it thi

I like it. The fxitense of harvesting
with the 0borne No. 11 is less than
headine or reaping.

I bought one of your No. 8 Iude

harvest. It did the best of work I
erer saw done with any reaper. I cut
some green oats hay, which was the
heaviest work I ever saw done with a
reaper. I raked off bunches that
would weigh a hundred pounJs.
Yours, truly,

A SURE CURE FOUND
AT LAST!
NO ONE NEED SUFFER!
A sure Cure for Blind, Bleeding, Itching
and Ulcerated Piles has been discovered
by Dr. William, fan Indian llemcdy,'
called Dr. William's Indian Ointment A
sin;le box has cured the worst chronic
cases of 2T or 30 years standing. No one
need suffer five minutcsalter applying this
wonderful soothing medicine. J-otions in
struments and electuaries do more harm
than good. William's Ointment absorbs
the tumors, allays the intense itching,
(particularly at night after getting 'warm
in bed,) acts as a poultice, gives instant
relief, and is prepared onty for Piles, itch
ing of the private parts, and for nothing
else.
Read what the Hon. J. M. Cofllnberrj
of Cleveland rys about Dr. William's In
dian Pile Ointment: I have used scores
of Pile i uics, and it aflbids me pleasure
to say that I have never found anything
which gave such immediate and perma
nent relief as Dr. William's Indian Oint
ment. For 6ale by all druggists or mailed on
