' "According to the Statesman the
only Interest which the people of Ma
rion county have In tbe next Legisla
ture is the "Senatorial question.' The
ole business ot our members in that
body wilt be, in its view, to vote for
fceiuttor" -, ,
Not quite. We have mentioned the
Senatorial question as one of the im
portant matters to come before the
next Legislature, and as one ot the
question hi which tbe Republicans of
Marlon county as well as of the whole
State, will have a deep political in
terest. But that is not all that the
Legislature, if it have commou hon
esty, will have to do.
; : It will have in hand the business of
defeating: the scheme which the Lock
and Dam swindle Co., together with
the leading Democrats of the State,
are preparing, to sell tbe works to the
State at the "cost of construction,
thereby consummating a &t job tor
Miller, Teal, Goldsmith A Co. The
law proposes that the State may take
possession of the works at their "actual
value ;M the Lock and Dam swindle
Co. are proposing to sell at the "cost
of construction," and tbe Democratic
newspapers and stumpers are express
ing their approval of that proposition..
Tbe "cost of construction" may be
any fat figure that the company may
choose to write. It will be tbe busi
ness of tbe Legislature, 11 a Republican
majority be elected, to see that there
shall be no further swindle by the
Lock and Dam Swindle Co.
Another bit of business which an
honest Legislature will have to dots
to undo the villainy of the robbing
litigant law. That law robs every-
Ixxly upon whom It operates of more
than half; nearly two thirds, of all the
money now paid for legal advertising.
There is not an honest man in the
State but knows It is unjust, wrong in
principle, and outrageously thieving
in its operation. An honest Republi
can Legislature would repeal tbe law,
and allow litigants to choose their own
organs and make their own terms tor
advertising, just as other advertisers
do.
An honest Legislature would have
in hand the business of saving tbe
swamp and other lands belonging to
the State, from being wasted divided
out among gangs of political partisans,
jobbers and grabbers.
; It would have in hand tbe business
xt defeating the numerous hordes of
mythical military . and wagon road,
canal and! drainage Jobbers who
warmed around the last Legislature,
like flies of summer around a molasses
cask, who will swarm again in aug
mented numbers next (all, It a Demo
cratic Legislature shall be chosen.
It would have in hand tbe business
of lopping off needless and unconstitu
tlonal expenditures of tho State's mon
ey now given to fatten the purses of
' State officers, and uumerous occupants
of places sinecures unknown to the
Constitution.
It would have In hand the business
of making a fair and equal apportion-
ment of members of the Legislative As
sembly, according to the mandate ot
the Constitution, so that the people of
the various counties and districts may
be represented fairly according to pop
ulation a measure corruptly withlicld
by the late Democratic Legislature.
We might enumerate further ; but
we have mentioned a sufficient num
ber of subjects demanding attention to
show even tbe stolid Mercury that Re
publicans have important interests in
the next Legislature above and be
yond the election of an IT. S. Senator.
. Aurantox HORACE.
Tbe utterances of Horace Greeley,are
tbe classics of American political litera
ture. There are thousands of young
men in this country who have been
educated by tbe Tribune, and still
look to Horace as tlie Oracle of the
age. A late number of his paper con
tains a letter from one of these grateful
and confiding protege, who probably
lives, upon some rural creek at tbe
bead of a hollow, In which political
information and guidance is tbe sub
ject of tbe most respectful interroga
tory. To this nattering letter the sage
of tbe white hat may It never be of
the White House ! responds at length
with what be knows about tbe duties
of young men in tbe present crisis.
We extract :
The Republican party has thus ac-1
compiunea its original object, wltn
very much more. It will soon be
transformed or disintegrated by reason
of Its complete, conclusive successes.
A party with tisi name may outlast
tbe century : but It must contemplate
other objects and work to other ends
than tnose which united and animated
tbe Republicans of 1856-60. Your I
present duty, young men, is to read.
observe, and think.- The party called
Republican may be the beat In exist
ence, ami it may be your duty to sus
tain It ; but It Is so, if at all. for differ
ent reasons from those which called
that party into being.
If the Democratic party, untaught
by disaster, should Insist on fighting
over again the struggles of I860, 1864,
1888. of course tbe Republicans must
stand to their arms and fall Into line.
But of this there Is no more prospect
that ot re-flghtlng the battle of Bunker
This was written before the Conven
tion at Cincinnati, and. fully explains
the petition -tf the redoubtable Horace
at tliat time; hut does it not also
answer some of the queries that float
in tbe political atmosphere now? It
will be noticed In the first place that
Greeley, with whom candor is religion,
expresses liunselt very ranch after the
manner of Jack Bunsby, the Delphic
Idol of Captain Cuttle, but there Is a

and would doubtless support tbe Cin

himself. ... ...,Y '
But after all, iatiatates Horace, the

THE CAMPAieH IJT HARIOX.
Several of tbe candidates of tbe Re
publican and tbe Cayuse tickets, open
ed the campaign of discussion at Jeff
erson yesterday. The notice for this
meeting bad been very brief, but, not
withstanding, a considerable number
of people were out- Mr. Lawson, of
the fusion ticket, opened the dlsusslon.
He told what be knew about being a
bolter, nearly expired with anguish at
the corruption of the Republican Con
vention which had left him out in the
cold, distibuted a lot of tracts contain
ing his patent double-onder-siire-to4ilt-em-with-somethlng
platform, made a
feeble effort to excuse or palliate some
of tbe villanles of tbe last Legislature,
and tbe Lawson closed. He was fol
lowed by Mr. Pat ton who very thor
oughly ventilated the school fund steal
of $75,000 and more than answered
the Lawson on every material point.
Then John F. Miller appeared as at
torney for the Independent ticket,
G rover, tbe Lock and Dam Swindle
Co., etc. . He devoted most of his time
to telling what he knows about Lock
and Dam Swindling, Swamp Land
grabbing, etc., and lncleen tally be
wailed bitterly that the Republican
party had got so corrupt that he felt
himseU called upon to take a portion
ot it in out of tbe wet and to be its
dear protecting patient. Jonnef was
Immensely patronizing toward tbe Re
publican persuasion of tbe human im-
ily, and generously proposed to run the
machine for them, if they would only
just follow the example of Uncle Sara
Allen, O. J. Carr, J. B. Cole, Frank
Cooper and such lights as these.
' Mr. Murphy made a very sensible
and effective speech, in which he
cleared away a good many of the cob
webs tliat had been ingeniously woven
around the matter of his nomination
for Clerk, and showed that be was en
titled to the support of the Republican
party.
Ungle Sam Allen roared a sweet and
gentle roar all about his descent from
Revolutionary stock (which accounted
for his chronic habit of 'bout-facing in
politics) his remarkable purity as a
man, his unmatchable honesty as a po
litician, bis disinterestedness as a can
didate, and his horror of corruption
He informed his audience that like the
Incorruptible Carr, he had beeu "sent
for" to become a candidate, and that
he never, never wanted to be a mem
ber of the Legislature, and wouldn't
do it now, only Jonnef wanted him to,
He would ratlier be an angel, but was
willing to become a wicked "Legls-
laterman" just to please the boys and
to rebuke corruption. Incidentally
Uncle Sam told what be knows about
worms.
' Brief but telling speeches were made
by Capt. Scott arid J. 5T. Matheny,
who corrected a few misrepresenta
tions of the Caytffes and carried the
war right into the land of tbe Ethiop
Jake Conser made a bit of speech.
claiming to be the only independent
candidate in the field ; he had discov
ered the Independent route and claimed
it as his especial property. Tbe original
Dr. Jacobs, was Jacob C.
Our candidates unquestionably made
a good Impression in Jefferson.. The
Independent Cayuses will not get a
Republican vote in the precinct ; and
tbe straight Republican ticket Is strong
er tliere to-day by a number of votes
than it was the (.'ay before MUler.Dear-
born, Carr, Monroe, Watkinds & Co.
ltatched out the Independent hybrid
ticket. The Republicans who had in
tended to vote for Laughead while be
stood on his own merits, say they will
not touch him If he does not repudiate
that Cay use crowd iu which his name
now appears. They will neither vote
for Democrats themselves, nor support
other men who will. That's how tbe
Republicans of Jefferson stand.
DESOCBATIC THl-WBLE-RlUtilXe.
The other day we stated that the
Democratic managers over hi Polk
had doubled tbe taxes within tbe last
year. We cited the instances of two
men, residents of this county, who own
property in Polk and who paid lor tbe
past year more than double the taxes
of the year before. Whereat tbe Mer
cury charged that our statement was
untrue, and then went on to glorify
Polk county Democrats in particular,
and Democracy generally, upon the
fact that In Polk cornty the Democratic
managers had reduced the ratio of tax
ation; that Is they did not now raise
somany mills on tbe dollar as had
been done formerly. This was all
very fair upon its face, but very decep
tive in point of fact. The Dallas Re
publican of this week explains where
ine democratic utile Joker " so
cunningly hid under the Democratic
thimble by the Democratic "thimble-
rigger," may be found. It says :
. " Tbe Mercury is not tbe only Demo
cratic paper in the State which has
crowed over tbe glorious affairs of old
Polk. Tbe facts in the case are : Dur
ing the Republican administration,
eight or nine large bridges were built.

Yamhill county last weekv wheu a resi
dent of - that county, a man ' ot high
standing, told us that he had a piece of
propert v in I'oik county, toe usual tax
upon which bad been nineteen dollars
and a few cents. A short time since be
sent twenty dollars over to pay his tax.
A note came In return stating that a
balance of fourteen dollars was yet' due.
He did not understand it and requested
us so ascertain the facts. We inaulred
and was told that his land had been as
sessed and taxed at the regular rate.
and the tax which was formerly nine
teen dollars,' was now thirty-four.

L. F. Grover, tbe most prominent
Democratic candidate for the U.S.Sen
ate, has of late, been doing much tar
get practice with bis mouth. He has, in
tact, .been declaiming that Woods, the
Sneezer, signed a Canal and Locks
bill which was, in the main, identical
with that signed by tbe Grover himself.
At Dallas, the other day, Grover en
deavored to make a point by declaring
in his usual candid style tliat the Sneez
er was equally culpable in that regard,
and tliat the Republican party had,
therefore, nothing upon which to hinge
an argument. Let iw see : The Canal
and Locks bill of 1808, provided tliat
150,000 sliould be paid to tlie compa
ny undertaking the work, npOn fcVe com
pletion of tAe work, as follows : tlie
company was to be paid f 23,000 at
that time, and tbe same amount each
succeeding year until the 1150,000 was
paid. . Now, notice the difference ; the
Lock bill signed by Grover, provides
that the State shall issue gold bonds
for $300,000. to be paid to said compa
ny within ten years bearing interest
from the time the bonds of tbe compa
ny should be filed. To say nothing
about the P. T. Co' offering to con
tract for the same work, . under like
conditions, for $75,000 less than Gro
ver, Teal & Co. offered to do it for,
there was no similarity between the
two bills. In Graver's bill tbe Canal
and Locks Company are to receive in
terest from the date their bonds were
filed 14,000 Interest was to be paid
annually until tlie principal, $200,000,
was lifted. Doesn't every one see that
Grover Is a demagogue and a hypocrite
when be claims that the Lock bills of
1868 and 1870 are similar?
MEItClKT A.D 6AM.
Tlie Mercury made a blow yesterday
morning about the Gas extension Into
South Salem and proceeds in the fol
lowing dolorous strain : "Gas pipes
were laid across the bridge at an im
mense, expense to the city, all to no
benefit except to increase taxation and
to give a few pets of our city fat jobs."
Our Mercurial friend must have for
gotten tliat tbe Gas Company ex
tend their pipes at pleasure, and folks
are not required to use it unless they
choose to do so. The Company Is a
private one, and have the right to run
their pipes over the hill if they see fit,
and do not depend upon the city to
recompense them lor it. And if Mr.
Jones or any one else as private citi
zens choose to pay for gas we see no
reason why they should not. In re
gard to the lamp post referred to it is
of no more benefit to Mr. Jones than
it is to Mr. Bush or Gov. Miller's Gro
ver, who are both Democrats. In con
clusion we might add that were the
gas of tbe Mercury editor of tbe illu
minating sort it would more than sup
ply the lamp that worries him so.
JUST AS WE EXPECTED.
We learn from Mr. P. S. Knight, as
we expected, that the conspirators in
the Thursday evening caucus of cay
uses, used his name without ills knowl
edge or consent. He Is a candidate 011
tbe regular Republican ticket for the
same office School Superintendent.
He accepted the nomination because
tlie duties of the office would not re
quire hhn to mix in politics, and with
the understanding that ho would not
take any part in the campaign except
to quietly vote on electlou day. He
desired not to be embroiled in any of
the squabbles incident to the cam
paign. Tbe use of his name, there
fore, by the Cayuse conspirators vu
improper and unjust not only because
it was unauthorized, but because of his
attitude ant! of hi calling as a minis
ter. His name ha vine been used, he
was not willing to remain in the false
position in which it placed him, and he
appears in a card in this morning's
Statesman, by which it will be seen
he is no manner involved in the schemes
of tbe bolters and disorganizes. We
are condflent that Thos. C. Shaw's
name was also used without authority.
Whoever votes the Cayuse-Demo-
cratic ticket In this couuty will vote,
practically, not only to elect a Demo
crat to the United States Senate but to
endorse all of the corrupt measures of
the last Legislature, including the
school fund steal ; the thieving litigant
law ; the Infamous police bill by which
the domestic government of a neigh
boring city was placed in tbe hands ofJ
one mau ; tbe law by which all the
valuable swamp lands of the State were
practically given to a central ring of
grabbers; tbe laws by which salaries
ot officers were corruptly and uncon
stitutionally increased, etc, etc. Not
only that, but they will vote, practi
cally, to continue tbe same line ot leg
islation for the future. You Republi
cans who talk about "correc-tlng
anuses" now uo you lucetnat phase
of tbe matter? -
Mr. O. J. Carr who has acted as one
of too principal conspirators in getting
up a fusion with the Democracy of this
county, attempts to excuse his presence
In tbe final caucus in Curl's office
Thursday evening by saying he was
"sent for." Of course then he went
like a puppet; and a puppet is just
what he is, In the hands of such men
as Bill Watkinds, John F. Miller, R.
H. Dearborn, C G. Curl, etc The
fact Is, however, Mr. Carr, with Frank
Cooper, A.J. Monroe and a few other,
have worked for a fusion ticket ever
since tbe meeting of the Repnblicaii
Central Committee of the conntv.if not
from a time "anterior to Wat"mectlnsr :
and they have had frequent conferences
with Democrats, and frequent over
tures have passed between them. Mr.
Carr was waiting to he "seut for.'?
I ' AS OPE PROSPECT.
, The dispatches inform us that the
bolting Democrats of Jackson county
have issued a call for a Democratic
convention to be held at Jacksonville,
to-morrow J and that everything indi
cates that tliere will be three tickets in
tbe field. In that case, the Republican
ticket will be, almost certainly, elected
This makes an open prospect for a Re
publican majority In the Legislature,
and the repeal of some of the corrupt
and extravagant legislation of 1870.
; A Republican majority will prevent
the cousummution of tbe fat job which
the Lock and Dam Swindle Co. have
in band, in selling the works to tbe
State at ' "cost Of construction," with
out refunding the $200,000 obtained of
tho State ; it will insure tbe repeal of
the infamous litigautlaw which robs
the estates of dead men ; It will insure
tin repeal of the law which raised the
constitutional compensation of the
State Treasurer from $800 to upwards
of $3,000 a year; It will insure the re
peal of the law which gives the Secre-
retary of State similar fat plcklnga,and
it will undo generally the extra vgances
of the last Legislature. A Republican
majority of the Legislature will be
elected. If Republicans, everywhere in
the State, will close up their ranks and
move upon the enemy. w .,
As tlie "stumping" campaign is
nbotit to open in this coonty, we. .up-
pose Uncle Sam Allen will teu "what
be knows about 'worm?." '
THE LOCK AXD BAJE 8WIHDEE. '
Grover has repeatedly said in his
l leeches that the Willamette Falls
Canal and Lock Company is bound by
law to eoasurwet their work at Ore
gon City, otMtome, iron and oswient,
meaning thereby to convey the idea
thatao wood is to be used. This is
one of Graver's "cliaracterlstic" at
tempts at deception. The law pro
vides that tbe works shall be built
chiefly of stone, Irau and cement, and
it does not forbid the use of wood in
minor proportion to other material.
To snow, now, that G rover's repre
nentations in regard to what tlie com
pany is doing, arc false, we will quote
a little from die Willamette " Farmer.
The last issne of that paper contained
tlie following j
Are we going to have these locks
const meted according to contract?
Are the builders going to use Hone,
iron awl cement t We understand tliat
they are not ! We learn that they have
already contracted for a large amount
of lumber to be used in tlie coustrution
of these works, by which betweeu
7,000aad $100,000 wUl be cwid by
the company ! This is according to our
Information, and if it be true, the
"stone, iron and cement" dodge falls
to tlie ground, and so for as the peo
ple are concerned, tlie canal and locks
might as well be construed of mud and
fir brush. There will be but a few
years difference in durability between
such works and those that are being
constructed.
Iu the name of the Great Eternal can
we not have some honesty in this State."
Are tlie people so many hewers of
wood and drawers or water, placed
here merely to work for tlie few bloat
ed lazaroni that hover over them, vul
ture like, aud swoop down upon their
pr.y wlien they see a fortune at a sin
gle grasp? Are the people created for
no higher purpose than to labor from
one year's end to another for enough
to pay taxes to enrich these virtuous
robbers? Can a few sanctimonious
scoundrels engraft themselves upon our
legislature, buy votes enougn 10 give
themselves a contract with tlie State,
and tlien fulfill that contract to just the
extent they wish, and no turtber?"
We are informed by parties who
have tbe means of knowing, that the
Company lias already used 400,000 feet
of lumber, and that a second bill of
400,000 feet lias been sent to the mill.
The Grover and his "pauper litigant
organs" have sedulously labored to jus
tify the steal of $75,000, on the ground
tliat the permanent nature of locks
constructed of "stone, iron and ce
ment," would more than make up to
tlie people ot the State the difference
between $200,000 and $125,000. It
can now be seen more plainly than
ever, how corrupt was the bargain with
tlie Lock aud Dam Swindle Co.
" A TICKET OP TME1B OWH."
A day or two siuce, the Mercury
said :
" For the first time in ten years tlie
people of Marion county, ' irrespective
of party, have a cliauce to elect a ticket
of their own."
" Ticket of their own," indeed! The
people made the ticket, didn't they?
Who are the people? John F. Miller,
R. H. Dearborn, O. J. Carr, A.J.Mon
roe, Frank Cooper (a resident of Clack
amas county), C. G. Curl, and one or
two other conspirators meeting in a se
cret caucus with fastened doors, are
the people, are tliey ? They are tlie
persons who dug up the "Independent
ticket." It Is impudence sublimated
to call this dark-lantern caucus hodge
podge a ticket of the people's own. It
is a ticket incubated by le than a doz
en men sorebeads,defcated candidates
and disorganizes on tbe one side, aud
Democratic wire-pullers ou tlie other.
Tbe Republicans engaged in it signally
failed in an effort to get up a call
among Republicans for a People's
Convention ; and the Democrats en
gaged in it were afraid to go into a
People's Convention, because they
were not sure that they omild in such a
convention, nominate men who would
be mere puppets and creatures In the
liands of Miller and G rover in the
Legislature. Tliese are lAe reasons
why a few conspirators met In aecrrt
caucus and concocted the "Independ
ent Ticket" which the Mercury Is
pleased to call a ticket of the people's
own. Impudence aud assurance could
no further go.
Among the resolutions adopted by
the Republican Convention ot Mult
nomah county we find the following
Ilesolved, Tliat we pledge our Sena
tors and Representatives to tlie LeeL
lature to use tlielr best endeavors to
procure the repeal of tbe law known
as the act to protect litigants.
Tbe resolution was adopted amid
prolonged applause. There will be
prolonged applause from the entire
people wlieu the robbing law shall be
repealed.
Mr. Laughead has not answered
whether he Is In favor of electing the
candidates 011 tbe Independent ticket
for the Legislature ; but it is under
stood he is iu with the entire ticket.
We have heard scores of Republicans
declare that, it lie goes with and sus
tains tho Independent ticket, includ
ing tbe Democrats on it, they will not
vote for him ; and we believe that is
and ought to be, the sentiment of the
main body of tlie Republicans of tlie
county.
The Fusion-Grecley-Buniett-Inde-pendent-Democra
tic-Aid ticket of this
Couuty is the result of an intrigue be
tween Grover wire-pullers on one side
and a few soreheads and disappointed
Republican offlce-bunters on tbe other.
Tbe ticket was not made by any re
sponsible authority, and It is a bastard
iu every sense ot tbe word. What Re
publican fuels called upon to support
st? It was conceived aud brought
forth iu corruption. How will its suc
cess rebuke corruption t Will not its
success be the triumph of corruption ?
Mr. Mallory went to Eugene City
last Saturday, In answer to an invita
tion, to address the people on political
topics, in reply to Gov. Miller's Gro
ver. He liad tbe pleasure of talking to
Grover'i own crowd, and refuting that
orator's political misrepresentations.
Hereafter Mr. Mallory will be present
at tbe candidate's appointments lu this
county.
Sam Allen says be won't vote for
Giover for United States Senator.
Sam Allen will, however, vote for F.
. Eldridge and Geo. S. Downing, two
Democrats who will vote for Grover or
any other Democrat. Sensible people
will want to know what is the dlffer
. ence between voting direct for a mau
and voting for another to do it.

On Monday afternoon, just before
the executive session and reeess of the
Senate for the eveui&z session, Mr.
Corbett called up the bUl to make cit
izens ot persons born in uregon pre
vious to the treaty of 1848, 'the same
as if they liad been bom elsewhere iu
the United States. Jir. Trumbull said
be considered them citizens already,
but thought tbe pasago of the bill
could do no great barm, and would be
a great gratiflcation to the Senator
from Oregon, who informed him that
the courts in Oregon had decided that
such persons were not citizens, jar.
Thurman wanted to know what court
.had so decided, and, on being in
formed by Mr. Corbett that It was tbe
United States District court, be ex
claimed. Hely St. Partrick. what a
court!' He pronounced such a decis

and said tlie Judge who made It "did
not understand what be was about."
lie thought there must be some mis
take, anu time no longe nan maae sucn

it hardly possible for a United States
iodze to decide that we did not even
own up to 49 deg. and only acquired
that territory by treaty and had to nat
uralize people born on Its soli. At
this noint. Col. Kelly arose, and said
'With all due deference to the Sena

cision of toe court was correct. I will
state the point upon which tbe decision

(Erom the Milwaukee Sentinel.
Carl Sehurz's organ, the Westllche
Tost, pursued toward Lincoln in 1864
tlie same course which It Li now pursu
ing toward Grant. It then regularly
translated Cluserct's articles in the
Xew Nation, which represented Lin
coln as a blockhead and a despot, and
General Grant as an imbecile and in
human butcher. Then the Copper
head Press quoted tlie Post as it quotes
the same anti-administration paper
now. Senator Schurz's partner. Emil
Preetorlus, stumped Missouri against
Lincoln, even after the withdrawal of
Fremont. On the morning of the
Presidential election the Westliehe
rot hud on its first page, in very
large letters, the following appeal to
German voters : "Of two evils choose
neither t Vote neither for Lincoln nor
McClellan !" Notwithstanding its
boasted influence ; and circulation
among the Germans, the reu!t s
little inllueticed by it. The Liberals
boast tliat no German paper n the
West now determines the political
course of so many Germans. It has
less circulation and less influence to
day than either the Staats Zeitung ot
Chicago or the Volkstrvund of Cincin
nati, both of which supports the Ad
ministration. The boast that Sehurz
carries two hundred thousand German
votes in his' pocket is all bosh, and a
gross Insult to our Teutonic fellow citi
zens, who follow their sober convic
tions, and not the lead of any man.

and $1,000 in donations of lots

WHAT ADTEBTIsHO DID.
Millaud, the banker and newspaper
speculator, who died recently fn Paris,
and who founded the Petite Journal.
which at one time hid a circulation of
half a million copies was an enthusi
astic believer in the advantages of lib
eral advertising. One day he had at
his table nearly all of tlie proprietors
of tlie leading Paris dailies. They
conversed about advertising. Millaull
asserted tliat the most worthless arti
cles could be sold in vast quantities if
liberally advertised. Emil de Girar
din, of La Pres.se, who was present
took isme with him on the subject.
"What will vou bet," exclaimed Mil
laud, "tliat I can't sell in one week
one hundred thousand Irancs worth of
tlie most common cabbage seed under
the pretext that it produces mammoth
cabbage lieads ? All I have to do is to
advertise it at once in a whole page in
sertion, iu tlie daily papers of the city:"
Girardin replied that he would cive
him a page In his pa)ier for nothing if
lie snonui win his wager. The other
newspaper publishers agreed to do the
same thing. At the expiration of tlie
week tliey inquired of Millaud how the
cabbage seed had flonrished. He
showed them that he had sold nearly
twice as much as he promised, while
orders were still coming In ; but he
said the joke mnt stop tliere, anil no
further orders would lie filled.
A Wise spouse A lady of Xew
York city, of French parentage, bright,
witty, and good, became the wife of
a gentlemen vhoe business called him
regularly every summer to Paris. In
his youth his pace had lieen rapid, and
the lady's relatives gave many slinkes
of tlie hend when talking of the mar
riage. He told her very frankly that
lie had been of naughty habits, but
promised to be proper. And he made
a verv good hu-baud. On each return
from Paris lie brought her some nice
little prencnfcj sometimes a bonnet,
tonietitnes a dozen of Alexnudre's,
sometimes a dress. But on his eighth
return, he surprised her by placing in
Imt liauds a magnificent lace shawl,
the cost of which could not hate been
les than $700 or $S00 Well might
lier bright eyes Rxirkle as tliey did,
over the exquisite goamer-like gift
Putting an arm .tenderly around his
neck and giving him a solt sweet kiss,
she said "Ah what a good, kind hus
band you are to bring me such a beau
ful pn"ent; but, Charley dear," with
a roguUli suillc "Aum- tml yiu tiuut

I land in hand on the beach we walked.
la a blissful dream last night ;
The wavaa came up and kissed the shore ;
Foaming' and silvery white ;
The moon looked down with tender eve,
The Stan shone out in the azure sky, ''
And the sweet south wind blew softly bv.
As hand in hand onthe beach we walked;
And of love's sweet Cinoies idlr talked ;
And the hours went floating br.
Ah 1 how the sweet, sweet words come back
As I think of mv last night's dream.
Strange, that a misty, shadow thing,
So woodronsry real can seem.
For love lsonlv'a Bower of June,
The waning light of an autumn moon,
The tender nous of a low sweet tune
That breaks in a dreamy afternoon, -Charming
tbe heart aud the senses away
Alluring us on with a childish play,
That endeth, ah me 1 so soon.
I have dreamed mydream,Iam now awake,
I will east the thing away ;
I never will touch the broken toy.
Nor ever with love will I plav.
For love is a bird that bat ouatM with the
spring;
When the cold winds blow plnmeth his
wing.
And flieih away : vet still will sing.
Through all an Hfc Ra echoing
And my heart will ache and I will sigh,
When the ghosts come back from the days
gone by.
Love is a sorrowful thing.
