I have traveled and hoped to lay ray body down away from troubling my friends, but there Is uo other place go dear to me as the old place In Oregon. If I had killed myselt tive years ago when I was first tempted. It would have been better, as I then foresaw and predicted. Before I sold my land. I el lose death then rather than to sell. No one will ever know my feelings at that time. But I could not die, and could not then consent to take mv own life. But I am now past Ubor. I have spent nil I bad, and I choose dealh rather than to bt a burden to mv people. I wish to t as little trouble as possible. I will lav mv body hi the burying ground.

Swift, of bun Fran cisco, opened tho canvass for Hayes and Wheeler, In that place a few eve ningssince, in tin able tiud exhaustive speech, touching the subject of 'Dem ocratic principles" in the following style: "In the course of the present can vass, he said, you will hear a great deal of the so-called Democratic prin ciples. What are Miey? No one can tell you but myself. I have found them out by a legitimate system of induction or reasoning. The princi ples of the party consist of the posi tion It takes upon tde issues which bio bound to sprinir up and come bo fore the citizens of a country. Let us see what that purty agrees upon ami what it don't agree upon. Ask a Cal ifornia man what Its principles are, and he will say to tlie people: "You elect us to ofllee and you shall have hard money and contraction." Ask an Indiana man and what does he say: "Give us the otliees and you shall have soft money and inllit on." A Wiseoiisou man says: "Give us the olllces and you shall have free trade with all the world." A Pennsylvania man will say: "Give- us tde offices and you shall have protection for your manufactures." A Massachusetts man says: "(live us the olllces and tde public debt shall lie paid in gold." The Ohio man wiys: "Give us tlie of fices and the public debt hIiuII bo paid in greenbacks." Tlie Mississippi man lakes a diU'crcrit view altogether and says: ''Give tin the otliees and the public debt sliuli not be paid at all." Tlio New York Democrat simply says: "Give us tde otliees." Tdey tliH'nr on hard and soft money, emit ruction and inflation, free I rude and protection; but they are ununituous In tho ques tion oi ine onices. The editor of a Democratic paper in Kentucky answers till '-iiKiuii ies for iiifnniifilion," Willi one word v hich sp tils damlil.r. In tlie "brief mention" column of ths San Francisco Bulletin wo find tills: Four sticks or sawn timber, each 134 feet long and 24 Inches wide bv UO thick, have lately arrived here from tho Port Bhikoly wtw- mlll, Washington Territory, and are afloat now d the (lock at pier 3, Stuart street. They are to be used In strengthening the ship Blue Jacket. Tlinv are the longest timbers ever sawn In Pugnt Sound, and presumably the longest ever sawn any where.

Tlie tw big threshing machines one steam and the other horse, are ut work near hacannar, moving from farm to farm, and threshing dally In the neighborhood of 2,500 bush els Barley Is being cut first."
