By :iocidnt we received a Walla Wallu Stiitni'in this week and in it we find an article in which the base as-tute editor thereof goes after us in the manner of hi dai'y life, by say ing that we questioned his military liile. We ni'ver knew that he had a 'military title," and knowing him as we do, Ave would not believe it even if we won to sec his commission, unless be brought proof, undeniable, that it, was not a forgery. He also Fays he dors not know who or what we arc. Well, Frank, we arc the one whom you could not frightnn into telling vou who our correspondent was that pot his re port of the Camp Curry fight into the Bcdr:ck Democrat before you got yours into the Chronicle, ami al?o the one who refused to drink several time.-? with you in Baker City, for the reason that Ave never drink with any persons but gentlemen. Perhaps it is on ac count of his barbarous mind that he does not recollect us. No, the truth of the matter is that he is '-hostile'' be cause we do not see fit to vilify honest men, like Major llinchart, and liplap such :inmills Frank Packer, acting editor of the Walla Walla P,reeh Clout. The Postmaster General has issued orders that no money order shall he paid and no regis ered letter delivered to any of the following named firms: Sunbeam Publishing Co., Russell & Co., Leavitt & Co., New Bedford, Mas; II. A. Burknett, New York City; Royal, Man dr. Co., Brooklyn, N. Y.; Arizona Lottery. Prescott, Arizona: Edward A. Eggleston, Rossi fa, Colorado; Kentucky Land Co., New Bedford, Mass.; Rev. Jo. T. Inman, Alison & Ilearn, Fran cis H. Ilearn, K". Y.; Michael Gold- water, Prescort, Arizona; A. Jones &, Son, Hopkenton, Mas5?. Reader, cat out the above and paste it in your hat. On Leave of Absence. Lieut. R. P. Wainwrigth came in on the Thursday morning stage from Walla Walla. The Lieutenant is on a four month's leave of absence, and will visit friends in the East during that time. He has heen on this coast four years and has spent a great portion of his time either on duty it some one of our frontier posts or in tho field. Pull of courage, energy and ambition, he is a very useful man in this part of the service. During the last campaign he bore his share of the fatigues and hard ships of long marches by day or night, and whether riding in dust under a burning sun, or making a nignt march to sui round a wily foe. h; was ahvavs the sain ' genial pleasant gentleman. He deserves great credit for the cool ness and bravery displayed in the charge which closed the battle at Uma tilla Agency a year ago this month. Idaho Democrat. The Indian fighter of the Breech Clout, Walla Walla, says he will come over here some time and get more sub scribers in a half day than we have on our entire list. If vou do. Frankie. you can start a daily paper through which to slander honorable men that aie best liked where best known. You have seen fit to open a fight on us without the least provocation, or we would not have disgraced our columns to notice you. thereby giving you prominence throughout the state. Ak Apology. We hope our read ers will excuse us for devoting so much space to a ninny this wc?K The peo ple h-re all know Maj Rinehart, our-5-olf, nnd .-ire sorry that they know Kranlc larker. This is the first time that we have mentioned his name in the News and hope it will be the last. It is our rule that when a person lies about ua we do not feel easv till we tell them our mind. Adieu. THE SCAVENGER, Eiank Parker, now of the Walla Walla Statesman, prior to his employ ment by the military last summer seems to have been playing the ro.'c of scav enger around the Malheur Agency slaughter pen. And while engaged in this laudable livalry with crows, blow flies, and maggots, he got into his pos session about one hundred beef-hides. Thoj-o not being putrid enough to suit his cess-pool appi-tito, l o xrdd them, and then refused to account for the price thereof. The agent made him pay for the-o hides, at which he he come very wra thy, and iruc t- his carri on crow instincts he is now pt rchrd on a three logged stool in Walla Walla trying to blow his foul breuth upon the agent who made him pay. A Quaker Printer's Proverbs. Never scud an article for publication without giving the editor thv name, for thy name often hccureu publication to worthless articles. Never do thou loaf about, nor kn ck down the typ', or the b'ys will lve thee as they do the shade trees when thou leavet. Thou shouldst never read the copy on the printer's case or the sharp and hooked container thereof, or he may knock thee into pi. Never enquire of the editor for the news, for behold it is l is business to give it tv) then at the appointed time without thou asking for it. It is not right that thou should! ak him who is tho author of an arti cle, for it his duty to keep such things unto himself. Prefer thine own tovn paper to any other, and subscribe for it immediate- Pay for it in advance, and it shall be well with thee and thine. Military Hotes. Col. Granvil'c 0. Hallor, IT. S.
