A TRIBUTE.
TO THE MEMORY OF MKS ADDIE L. EEASOTfER.
Dead ! Dead I Dead !
Where never a word of mine
Can reach her soul, through those deafen'd
ears.
On the desolate shores of Time ;
Oh ' If I had but known
How short her life would be,
How many kind words those ears had heard
That never were said by me.
Sweet, Sweet, Sweet,
Is the breath of the dj ingrose,
But sweeter the mem'ry left in the heart,
When such a life must close,
Bright eyes, and golden hair
Come to augment our weeping;
Of what avail, that she was so lair,
When " under the willow she's sleeping?"
Crone ! Gone ! Gone !
To the saint's sweet rest above,
"Where the pure in heart shall see their God,
And their daily food in love.
'Ti3 hard to bear alone,
The darkness, and the pain,
But oh ! it were harder still to wish
That blest one ba&c again. L.
Oregon Citt, June 3d, 18H7.
IHrojlictic Ireass
The death, by falling between the cars,
of freight conductor William Lilliraan, on
the Day ton and Michigan road, a few days
since has been announced, says an Indiana
exchange. lie left a wife and two chil
dren at Lima, where he resided. The Ga
zette, of that place, says the wife had been
unwell for some time, and early Monday
morning she had a dream in which her
husband appeared to be lying in a coffin
at home, while friends were also present.
The idea started her, when she awoke and
struck a light. Realizing that it was but
a fancy she again retired, but no sooner
had she slept than the dream was repeat
ed, again awakening her. After this she
slept no more. After breakfast one or
two of the neighbors called in. when she
remarked that she expected to hear bad
news, and was telling them the dream,
when a messenger called and reported
that her husband was badly injured; she
stated she was prepared for the worst, and
if her husband was dead to tell her af
once. She was then informed of his death,
which gave her no surprise, so impressed
had she been by the viv.dness of the vis
ion. The occasional premonitions or prophe
cies communicated hi dreams, " in visions
of the night ; when deep sleep falleth upoji
man." are a mystery which philosophy has
so far failed to explain.
Even sacred history affords some illus
trations. The most notable, perhaps, is
con.ained in the history of our Saviour du
ring his last trial. When he Pilate was
set down upon the judgment seat, his wife
sent unto him. saving : ' IIav th-,n noth
ing to do with that just man ; for I have
suliered many things this day in a dream
because of him."
The night before the assassination of
Julius Ctesar, his wile, Ca'phurnia. dream
ed, that her husband fell bleeding across
her knees.
The following case, quoted from the
Memoirs of Lady Fanshawe, shows a re
markable coincidence between the dream
and the succeeding calamity :
My mother being sick to death of a fever
three months alter I was born, her friends
and servants thought to ail outward ap
pearance that she was dead, and so lay al
most two days and a night ; but Dr. Wins
low, coming to comfort" my lather, went
into my mothers"s room, and looking earn
estly into her face, said ; " She was so
handsome and now looks so lovely, I can
not think that she is dead :'? and suddenly
took a lancet out of bis pocket and with
it cut the sole of her foot. whiclFTjled.
Upon this he immediately caused her to
be laid upon the bed aerain. and to be
rubbed, and such means used ; when she
came to life, and opening her eyes, saw
two of her kinswomen stand bv her, my
Lady Knollys and my Lady Russell, both
with wide sleeves, as the fashion then was,
and said : i: Did you not promise me fif
teen years, and are you come again ?"'
which they, not understanding, persuaded
her to keep her spirits quiet in that great
weakness wherein she was. But some
hours after, she desired that my father and
Dr. Howlsworth might be left alone with
her, to whom she said : '; I will acquaint
you that during my trance I was in great
quiet, but in a place I could neither dis
tinguish nor describe ; but the sense of
leaving my girl, who is dearer to me than
all my children, remained a trouble upon,
my spirits. Suddenly I saw two by me
clothed in long white garments, and me
thought I fell down upon my face upon
the dust ; and they asked me why I was so
troubled in so great happiness ? "l replied,
Oh let me have the same great grant given
to Hezekiah. that I ma live fifteen years,
to see my daughter a woman;' to which
they answered, ' It is done and then at
that instant I awoke out of my trance."
And Dr. Howlesworth did there affirm that
that day she died, just fifteen years from
that time.
Lord Stanley relates a singular instance
of a premotion communicated in a dream :
A Lord of the Admiralty w ho was on a
visit to Mount Edgecombe, and who was
much troubled by dreaming, dreamed that,
walking on the sea-shore, be picked up a
book, which appeared to be a log book of
a ship of war of which his brother was the
captain. He opened it and read an entry
of the latitude, longitude, as well as of the
day and hour, to which was added. "Our
captain died." The company endeavored
to comfort him by laying a wager that the
dream would be falsified by the event ;
and a memorandum was made in writing
of what he had stated, which was after
ward confirmed in every particular.
An instance of a similar character is
given by Dr. Binns :
A young man. named John Gray, resid
ing it Cinderford, told his mother, before
be went to the Crump Meadow coal-pits,
at w bie-h he worked, that he dreamed the
preceeding night (January 14.1841) that
while at w:ork. a large stone fell upon and
killed him. The mother made light of the
dream. Not so the dreamer, who went
reluctantly to work, and not until ne nau
returned twice to bid her good-bye. The
dream was fulfilled. An immense block
nf tmw tell iinoa and crushed mm to
death.
The following singular dream of this
class is contained in the appendix to a
book .by the same author, and is now
quoted as presenting rather a different
phase. The statement is said to have
been communicated to the author, by the
Ron. Mr. Talbot, father of the late Countess
of Shrewsbury, and is given in his own
words and over his own signature :
In the vear 1763 my father, Matthew
Taibot of Castle Talbot, county Wexford,
was much surprised at the recurrence of a
dream three several times during the same
night, which caused him to repeat the
whole circumstance to his lady the next
morning. He dreamed that he had risen
as usual, and descended to his library, the
morning being lazy, lie then seated him
self at his secretary to write, when, hap
pening to look out upon a long avenue of
trees, opposite the window, he perceived
a man in a blue jacket, mounted on a
white horse, coming toward the house.
My father arose and opened the window ;
the man, advancing, presented, him with a
roll of papers, and told him they were the
invoices of a vessel that had been wrecked,
and had drifted in on his son-in-law's
(Lord Mount Morris) estate, hard by. and
signed by Bell & Stephenson. My father's
Attention was called to the dream only by
its trequent recurrence ; but when he
found himself seated at his desk on the
misty morning, and beheld the identical
person whom he bad seen in his dream
in the blue coat, riding on a gray horse,
he felt surprised, and. opening the w indow,
awaited the man's approach. He immedi
ately rode up. and drawing from his
pocket a packet of papers, gave them to
my father, stating that, they were invoices
belonging to an American vessel which
h id been wrecked and drifted upon his
lordship's estate : that there was no per
son on board to lay claim to the wreck,
but that the invoices were signed " Bell &
Stephenson." 1 assure vou, mv dear sir,
thf 'above actually occurred, and is most
faithfully given.
The last citation is really wonderful, and
is attested by many living witnesses ; by
which it may be setn that a farmer pre
vented a terrible railroad disaster, at
the time of the great freshet in October,
1866. The farmer a Pennsylvanian.) went
to bed during the heavy and protracted
storm, and dreaming that the filling across
a chasm, some hundred feet deep, had
given way under a passenger train, and
let it down into the abyss, he sprang up
to render assistance to the passengers, ran
to the door and was hastening from the
house, when his wife awakened him. He
related his dream, and again retired, but
slet little more during that night. The
dream made such an impression upon his
mind that he hastened to the chasm early
on the next morning to ascertain its con
dition. The road was apparently all right,
although the water was pouring through
the large culvert, as though it would wash
the earth away. On the following night
the farmer could not rest for thinking of
his dream of the preceding night, and
again arising, procured his lamp, and
proceeded to the chasm. When he arrived
there, he found, to his terror, that the fill
ing had been washed out, leaving nothing
but the unsupported ties and track over
the chasm ! Hearing the train thundering
toward destruction, the farmer clambered
across the dreadful break, and runni lg
down the road some distance, signalled
the approaching train to stop. And so
short was the time that w hen the engineer
was able to " hold up'' the engine was but
a few feet from the chasm. But for this
remarkable dream the train would have
plunged down the frightful precipice, car
upon car, crushing all to death in its ruins.
L Partv Prejudice. A good anecdote is
told of a countryman from New York
who was visiting the capital at the time
Van Buren was Vice President. Our
friend was a red-hot Democrat, and of
course held Mr. Van Buren in the highest
reverence. He sat in the circular gallery
of the Senate, gazing at the Vice President
with a mingled feeling of awe and State
pride, when suddenly a tall and manly
form appeared at the side of the hall and
beckoned to Mr. Van Buren. There was
little business doing, and the Vice Presi
dent, calling a Senator to the chair, joined
the person mentioned, when both seated
themselves on the sofa, both snuffed from
the same box the hnd of the Vice Pres
ident was laid playfully upon the knee of
his companion, and ever and anon a hearty
laugh would escape them, showing that
whatever might be the topic, it was agree
able to both.
" Is that Mr. Calhoun with the Vice
President?" said his country friend to a
person near him.
" No, sir."
" Is it Mr. Benton?'
' No, sir."
"Is it Gen. Wall?"
" No, sir."
May 1 ask who it is.'
"That is Mr. Clay."
" Mr. Clay!" almost shrieked the man ;
" and does Mr. Van Buren speak to him ?
Rot me if ever I vote for him again !"ml
the fellow stalked from the hall, firmly be
lieving that the country was lost.
Sharp Retort. "According to Milton,
Eve kept silent in Eden to hear her hus
band talk," said a gentleman to a lady
friend, and then added, in a melancholy
tone. Alas ! there have been no Eves
since." "Because there have been no
husbands worth listening to," was the quick
retort
Wedding lity' Disasters.
Concluded.)
Bammel had scarcely seated himself to I
finish shaving, when there was another tap I
at he door.
This is not to be borne,'' grumbled
Bammel. fretfully ; then he cried out, in a
loud voice, I am not at home 1 you must
come again !-?
The last words were scarcely uttered,
however, before a young "man entered the venge myself; at all hazards, I must know
room, who evidently seemed rather green what is going on here.
and rustic looking.
" Pardon me," he began, politely. Have
I the honor to speak to Herr Bammel V
" JNo ! shouted that individual, witnout
turning round.
" I am very sorry for that' continued
the stranger, "I wanted to summon Herr
Bamrnel to the church I am Dumnibart
his cousin."
" You are my cousin," exclaimed the
bridegroom, rising : " I am delighted to
see you."
" Then you are, after all, Herr Bam
mel," said Dumnibart ; " I am also charm
ed permit me to embrace you."
Dumnibart kissed Bammel in the midst
of the lather ; then, making a wry face, he
carefully wiped his lips
" Now go. dear cousin," said Bammel,
pushing his new relation out of the door
" give my compliments to my mother-in-law,
and assure her that I shall be with
her in five minutes, at latest !"
"It is dreadful," he continued when
Dummbart had left the room, " to arrive
so late at one's wedding. That cursed
trumpeter is. to blame, and only be!"
Scarcely had he finished speaking, and
seated himself once more before the small
looking glass, when the door was thrown
violently open, and the boots, Johann,
rushed into the chamber quite out of
breath.
" I 'err Bammel !" he panted.
The bridegroom started violently,
" What is the matter now," he cried
" What do yon want ?"
" A lady from Berlin has just arrived,
who demands to speak with you instantly;
Miss Susanne Triller is her name !"
" Susanne Triller !" exclaimed Bammel
in a state of painful excitement. " The
Lord have mercy on me! I'm lost! No.
I'm not lost yet ? An idea has just struck
me. I am ill very ill. Po 'r some water
into the teapot yonder quick, quick!"
The boots in his haste seized the small
white jug with the water that had been
used for shaving, and poured it into the
teapot.
" Good gracious ! what have you done ?
that's my shaving water !" screamed Bam
mel. " Run off to the church, and tell my
mother-in-law that I shall be there in five
minutes."
And while Johann went,shuffling out of
the door. Herr Bammel hastily wiped the
lather from his face, put on a night cap.
sprang with one leap into bed and drew
the coverlet over his ears. He had scarce
ly accomplished this manoeuvre, when the
door leading into the corridor was impet
uously opened, and a woman entered who
was no longer in the fresh and rosy bloom
of youth, but still good looking.
" Where is the traitor?" she said, care
fully scanning the apartment. " If what
the people down stairs have been telling
me be true, his conduct will be scandal
ous to run away secretly from me to
marry another. No. I never can believe
that he would do such a thing. Julius,
where are you ?" she continued in a louder
voice, as she approached nearer to the
bed.
A timid, whining groan issued from
thence.
" Julius ! what's the matter with you ?"
cried the girl, drawing back the bed
curtains.
" What !" groaned a feeble voice, " is it
you. Susanne ? I am ill very ill !"
" Poor fellow !" said the damsel, com
passionately ; "but what's the reason of
your being here, pray ?"
I wanted to have the pleasure of catch
ing you a dish of carp, which are said to
be so fine in Copenick, and while out fish
ing I caught the measles," whimpered
Bammel.
" The measles while fishing ?" asked the
girl in astonishment.
" Alas, yes," again moaned Bammel.
" Are you not afraid of the infection ?"
" How can you fancy such a thing,
Julius?" said Susanne. "I shall not stir
from your side, but will attend upon you
until you are restored to health. In the
first place, however, you must drink a cup
of tea, for you seem to be in a fever," she
added, pouriug the contents of the teapot
into a cup, and offering it to her Julius.
"Thank you, thank you; I I am not
thirsty," whined Bammel, shuddering as
he recognized his shaving water.
"Nonsense ; whether you are thirsty or
not," said the energetic damsel, forcibly
holding the soapy water to his lips, " you
must drink some, it is good for you."
The poor tormented poulterer made
fearful grimaces, but obeyed.
" Will vou be so good as to fetch my
doctor, dear Susanne ?" he said, after a
short pause.
" Yes, with the greatest pleasure," an
swered the young woman ; " where does
your doctor live?"
" In Potsdam, at the back of the Hussar
barracks," replied Bammel. -The nearest
way is by Berlin make haste, make haste,
ere it is too late to-morrow morning
early you can be her gi3."
A dark shade passed over Snsanne's :
pretty- countenance. The traitor, she
thought to herself, he wishes to get rid of
me, perhaps, in order that he may niarrv
that other girl. Just then her eves fell
upon the black dress clothes which lav
carefully spread out upon a couple of
chairs. Ah! there can be no doubt of itl
she went on to think ; w hat the people be
low stairs were telling me is true indeed.
What atrocious conduct! but wait. I'll re-
" Make haste, dear Susanne, ere it is too
late,"' whimpered Bammel.
"I will fly, my beloved," exclaimed the
girl. " Adieu for the present! Early to-
morninc I will be with von anrain'? i?n
I W rwv
saying, she gave her Julius a hearty kiss.
diw the bed curtains closely together,
took the whole suit of black dress clothes
from the two chairs, hastily deposited
upon them instead her mantle and bonnet.
opened and closed the door leading to the
corridor, without, however, going out her
self, then noiselessly slipped behind Bam
mel's bed.
When the poulterer heard the door
slammed to, he cautiously stretched forth
hfs head beyond the curtains, and glanced
round the room carefully. -She lias gone!"
he exclaimed exultingly, as he bounced
out of bed. "I'll finish my shaving nowr!"
He was just m the act of seating himself
once more before the small looking-glass
when there was another knock at the door,
and, without waiting for permission to en
ter, the boots, Johann, rushed breathlessly
into the room.
" Herr Bammel !" he shrieked, as if pur
sued by demons. your mother-in-law is
coining ; she is furious!"
"My mother-in-law is coming!" yelled
the wretched bridegroom springing up
May the Lord have mercy on me a
sinner !"
At this moment Madame Susemichel's
scolding voice was heard outside upon the
staircase.
"There she is!" cried Bammel. "Go
and meet her, Johann. Detain her, if
only one moment run run!"
While Johann, the boots, bounded out
at the door. Bammel searched in every di
rection for h s c ollies.
" Where can my black suit have gone
to?" he exclaimed, in agony of mind. "It
is impossible forme to receive my mother
in law in my shirt. Good gracious ! she
has reached the top of the stairs already !
That wretch of a trumpeter must have
stolen my clothes 1"
At this critical moment a thump fell
upon the door.
" There she is, I declare I" moaned Bam
mel ia despair. " What am I to wrap
about me? I wish my hair would sud
denly grow down to the very ground, like
holy Snsanne's, or whatever her name may
be. Ah ! this substantial silk mantle will,
at any rate, spare my blushes," he added
suddenly, on perceiving Susanne's cloak ;
and hurriedly he fiung it over his shoulders.
The knocking became louder.
" Come in !" cried Bammel. and, within
a second, Madame Susemichel, his mother-in-law
elect, followed by Wermuth, the
trumpeter, entered the room.
" Well, what has become of you, son-in-law?"
said Madame Susemichel, thorough
ly out of breath. " Everybody is waiting
in the church ; the bride is waiting, the
clergyman is waiting-what is the mean
ing of this, pray? A pretty figure you
look," she continued, becoming more and
more enraged. What is that you have
got on ?"
" I am innocent, Madame Susemichel,"
vociferated Bammel ; "the ancient land-j.
lady lent me this to cover me. Do you
really suspect, Madame Susemichel do
you really believe that a young lady has
been with me?"
" Oh, fie," said the mother-in-law, indig
nantly turning away.
" Oh, fie," repeated the trumpeter, like
a doleful echo.
" Explain yourself more clearly, young
man." continued Madame Susemichel, "or,
in the name of "
" Do not sin in that manner, old woman,"
Bammel interrupted her. in a grave and
reproachful tone ; " I awear to you I am
alone in this chamber."
The last words had scarcely passed his
lips w hen Susanne Triller stepped from
behind the couch. Bammel gazed at her,
turned as white as a corpse, and then
seemed to fall into a state of stupor.
" It was true, after all," cried Madame
Susemichel, in a furious voice. " Ob, men,
men ! not even on the day of their wedding
can they be faithful ! What a blessing I
have found all this out in time ! Now you
shall have Therese, Herr Wermuth." she
continued, with an air of malicious tri
umph, as she seized the arm of the over
joyed trumpeter, and marched out of the
room with him, saying. you must abide
the consequences, Herr Bammel ; my com
pliments to you !"
" I am despised it is all over with me!"
whined the unfortunate poulterer, almost
upon his knees.
" Not yet." said Susanne, going to him
and holding him up by the arms, "for the
old love sticks to you still."
Two months subsequently Bammel act
ually married the fair one, of whose fidel
ity he was only too well assured, and was
very happy with her almost as happy as
the trumpeter Wermuth with Therese
Susemichel. in whose society he entirely
weaaed himself of sighing.
Orfgon'. Senators.
The arrival of Senators Williams and
Corbett on the morning of Sunday, pre
vented the public demonstration which,
otherwise would have been spontaneously
made by our citizens in honor of their re
turn, says the Oregonian. yet they were
warmly greeted in Portland, as they will
be by the people of the whole State. Th
Union party has given Oregon two Sena
tors who have raised the ate to an envi-"
able distinction in the eminent body of
which they are members. It is almost
three years since Senator Williams left for
the National Capital, and somethg over
two years since he took his seat in Ihe
Senate of the United States. It is not too
much to say that in this space of time he
has made for himself a national reputa
tion. He is one of the strong men of the
body to which his State has sent him, and
short as his term of service has been, there
are few in whom the country place a firmer
reliance, and certainly none who are more
deserving of the country's conGdence.QO
IPs fidelity has been tried and approved,
and the pledges he gave on the oc?asion
of his election, to stand by the Union par
ty, to assist it in its work, and to maintain
unflinchingly the principles upheld by the
loyal sentiment of the country, have been
full' redeemed. The Union party ot this
State fully endorse his public acts, and
warmly welcome him. as a faithful public
servant, to his home. It is sufficient to
say of Senator Williams that he has done
what he was sent to do. and the general
verdict of loyal men here anj throughout
the nation is that he has performed his
duty ably and well.
SenateY Corbett has taken a high place
in the esteem of the Senate and of the pub
lic ; and the people "of his State have every
confidence in his faithfulness and capacity,
and in his fidelity to the j ri.iciplea which
have carried the country through a criP.s
as tremendous as any which his ory re
cords. During the very brief pe i d which
has elapsed since he took his seat, he has
had little opportunity5 to participate in
the business and deliberations of the Sen
ate ; but limited as have been his opro -tunities.
his acts already show that ti:o
people of Oregon have in him a faithful
and painstaking Senator. For the first
time since the Union party was formed by
the voluntary and instinctive association
of patriotic men in ?ttl. this State now
has two Senators who are in full sympa
thy with that party's purposes and objects,
and who will ns' their power and influ
ence to uphold tue cause and secure the
fruits of the victory for which the loyal
millions of the nation poured out their
wealth of gold and their treasures of
blood.

From the Corvallls Gazette.
A contemplated railroad through Ore
gon has been the subject of much c nd
eraiion and conversation, feeling, sparring
and newspaper criticism. All. we belief,
acknowledge its importance and necessity,
but the great questions seem now to be
first, who shall build (he road? Second,
where shall it run. and third, how shall it
be built? These are questions of vital
importance, and must be m 't ml satis
factorially disposed of before successful
progress can be made in its construe' io:.
And now, while the project is in its iacipi
ency. clouds have risen, and unpleasant
feelings exisit in certain quarters : two
companies now claim the- rights m l fran
chises" given by Congress an our Legisla
ture," which have a tendency. mo;c or
less, to throw a damper upon the enter
prfse. We, and all true friends of a rail
road through our State, feel sorry that
such a state of affairs exist. We do not
pretend to decide the question as to who
has the best right, but sincerely hope that
it may be speedily disposed of, and that
the work of construction may proceed at
once. We want a railroad. Of course,
we would rather have it through our
county and city we believe them to be
in the most direct and practicable line to
best subserve the interest of the State at
large but rather than see the project fail,
we would favor a road on the other side
of the river. O
The following resolutions and proceed
ings of a railroad meeting held at McMina-
ville on the 18th inst., were ordered pifb-
Fished in the Courier and Unionist only ;
but being deeply interested in the subject
and wishing to keep our readers posted, q
of the movements or counter movements
relative to the same, we quote frjun the
Courier, without expressing approbation
or disapprobation, leaviugthe 'people and
the proper tribunals to decide which is
the " legal"' company :
Whereas : the Congress of the United
States has granted several millions of acres
of land to aid in constructing a Railroad
through Oregon, and made it the duty of
the Oregon Legislature to designate the
Company which should receive such .Jand
grant ; and whereas, the last Legislature
did designate the " Oregon Central Rail
road Company," a Company then incorpo
rated' and whose Incorporators and Ar-Q
tides of Association were then before the
Legislature, and possessed its confidence :
and whereas, the said Legislature granted
further aid, in interest "pledged to sail
Company : therefore, be it resolved, by
this meeting :
1st. That we recognize in the said origi
nal organization of the " Oregon Central
Railroad Company." the Corporation
which is entitled to the rights and fran
chises given by Congress and our Legisla
ture, and the Company which should be
supported and sustained by the people.
2d. That we regret to see any citizen of
Oregon endeavoring to get up new or
ganizations in the original name, as any CD
such counter movements can have no
other effect than to produce d scord. fac
tion, litigation and embarPasinent to a
great public enterprise, in which the whole
State is interested.
3d. That while we freely accord to cap- O
italists and others located on the eastsidQo
of the Willamette river, the right fo hon
orably secure the location of the Railroad 3
upon their side of the river, we likewise
think that justice and fair play would give
us of the west side, at least.oan opportuni
ty to present our claims, advantages .nd
inducements before the road is located.
4th. That is the duty of every land
holder and citizen of Yamhill." Polk.
Washington, Benton, and Mult ion ah oQ
counties, to render all the aid and encour
agement ia their power to any overture cf
the Railroad Companv, looking to a possi
ble locatioa of the road through said
counties.
