confer a favor on us and possibly benefit

A FOREIGN BIRTH NO DISHONOR.
When the editor of the East Oregonian
seriously advises his readers that it is
wrong to kill bed bugs and lice, they
may well laugh at his childishness.
When he fills his editorial column with
the crude fancies of a disordered imagi
nation, they may smile at his folly.
When he treats witn lofty scorn and
hitter contempt every one who cannot
, follow his mental vagaries but' who may
be intellectually and educationally as
much his superior as a giant is of a
pigmy, men may contemn hisinordinate
vanity ; but when he labels all who
visits Europe in the character of tourists
in the one category of "Snobs, idlers,
' parasites and slave owners;" when he
solemnly advises the members of the
Louisana legislature to vote for the
accursed lottery swindle that has so
long cast its withering blight over that
state and has been a stench in the
nostrils of all right minded . American
citizens ; when he advocates a system of
political economy that is subversive of
human rights, destructive of human so
society and human, government, men
have a right to protest and it is the re
tort of a dastardly poltroon, a retort that
no man with the instincts of a gentle
man would stoop to, to cast up to his as
sailant the accident of his foreign birth
or the fact that necessity may have com
pelled him to accept, wages in an honest
and honorable employment. If it were
dishonorable to be born in a foreign
country a residence of four and twenty
years in the United States and a hearty
adoption of American principles, Ameri
can ideas, and American justice should
shield one from this dishonor. But it Is
no dishonor. The country that gave the
writer birth gave thousands of her sons
to defend with their life's blood the flag
that the southern compeers of the editor
of the Eaut Oregonian sought to ruth
lessly trample in the dust, while in
very field and bivouac in American
history Irishmen have been first' to
share the glory and the fight. No
country ever yet dishonored the man
who was born in it, and the man
who, in the prime ' of intellectual and
physicial manhood renounces his alleg
iance to a foreign monarchy and adopts
the principles and obligations of Ameri
can citizenship, bus something to boast
of that the degenerate scion of a south
ern slave owner never knew. It is more
honorable to be an Irishman, true as
steel to 'the' Aiuurican government and
American institutions, as Irishmen in
.variably are, than to have the glory that
attaches to u birth beneath the stars and
stripe? and yet be the "defender and ad
vocate of political anarchy and. social
death. It is ten thousand times better
to be an Irishman than to 'be a fool,"

was felt Wednesday afternoon at Mon

forty tons of hay, which was consumed,
with all other contents of the building.

THE DRUNKARD'S BARREL.
A barrel of headaches, of heartaches, of woes:
A barrel of curses, a barrel of blows ;
A barrel of tears from a world-weary wife;
A barrel of sorrows, a barrel of strife;
A barrel of oil-unavailing regret;
A barrel of cares and a barrel of debt;
A barrel of crime and a barrel of pain;
A barrel of hopes ever blasted and vain ;
A barrel of falsehoods, a barrel of cries
That fall from the maniac's lips as he dies,
A barrel of poison of this nearly full ;
A barrel of poverty, ruin and blight;
A barrel of terrors that grow with the night;
A barrel of hunger, a barrel of groans;
A barrel of orphans' most pitiful moans;
A barrel of serpents that hiss as they pass
From the bead on the liquor that glows in the
glass. '
At a recent meeting in Chicago Mr.
Powderly said :
"I believe in Sunday rest. So do the
Knights of Labor. I believe the time
will come when enough can be done in
five days to give the laboring man two
days in the week one for God and one
for humanity. Disconnect me from all
organizations ; consider me as an Ameri
can citizen, and I have to say, speaking
for myself, that I have fault to find with
the saloons. Against the mere useless
thing I have nothing to say, but when
the saloon, is open on Sunday, some
workingmen's homes are closed: The
dry goods man closes his place, hut on
the door of, the saloon which has its
curtain down and the front entrance
shut, you will find a legend directing
you to the door that is open. If the dry
goods man is compelled to close on Sun
clay, the saloon ought to be closed. I
believe that in five years the sun will
shine on a country whose saloons are
closed on Sunday. If I had my way the
saloons would be closed until the next
Sunday." ,
Mrs. Margaret Bottome, who, in con
nection with 'Mrs. Mary Lowe Dickin
son, founded the order of King's Daugh
ters, is an imposing-looking woman,
with handsome gray hair, strong features
and beautiful expression. For many
years she has given bible readings or
talks in parlors of her friends in New
York and Brooklyn. These are always
crowded by women, though they are
given in the morning. In Brooklyn,
especially, it has been found that no
drawing-room is large enough to hold
the throngs that wish to hear her, and
this season, for the first time, the talks
are given in chapels and lecture-rooms
of the largest churches in different parts
of the city, and even with these increased
accommodations many ladies are not
able to get seats, but stand throughout
the execrcises. The King's Daughters
now number over two hundred thousand.

- 8tru( Spirit Manifestations.
One of the best authenticated . in
stances of ghostly visitation is connected
with Dr. Kerner's so called Seeressof Pro
vost. Dr. Kerner for many years con
ducted an asylum for the insane at
Weinsburg, in Southern Germany.
There came to him for treatment a Mrs.
Hauffe, a lady in delicate health, of
great nervous irritability, and with a
mind which was, to say the least, not too
well balanced. Wherever this afflicted
woman went, and Dr. Justinus Kerner
is authority, she was pursued by a
variety of strange noises. China ware
and glassware, tables and chairs were
mysteriously moved in the presence of
witnesses. A medicine vial rose slowly
into the air and had to be brought back
by one of the bystanders.
On several occasions an easy chair was
lifted up to the ceiling by unseen power
and then returned slowly to the floor.
On one occasion the great skeptic. Dr.
Strausz, was one of her visitors, and
during his stay Mrs. Hauffe fell asleep
on her sofa when there immediately
arose long, fearful groanings close by
the doctor's side and in the vicinity of
bis amiable but remarkable hostess.
The strange suffering woman was the
only one who knew the cause of
these phenomena. She ascribed them
all to a dark spirit who appeared to her
as a black column of smoke with a hide
ous head, whose unseen approach op
pressed even the bystanders.
Dr. Kerner relates countless mysteri
ous phenomena which occurred in this
patient's bedroom. He beheld Mrs.
Hauffe's shoes pulled off by invisible
hands while she was lying almost inani
mate in a trance on her bed. She re
vealed seorets which, upon writing to
utterly unknown persons at a great dis
tance, Dr. Kerner proved to be correctly
stated. Philadelphia Press.

During the War of the Revolution,
while the American and British armies
were contending' in Pennsylvania, Gen?
era! Washington was in the neighbor
hood of Marietta, Lancaster county.
General Lee, with two or three aides-de-camp,
rode in advance, and' stopping
at a wayside inn, informed the landlord
that General Washington and his staff
officers would quarter at his house for
the night.
This news, of course, caused great con
fusion among the inmates of the estab
lishment. They wanted to do honor to
the beloved commander, and bustled
about to have all things in readiness
upon his arrival.
"Here, you," said the genius who
presided in the kitchen to General Lee,
ignorant of his rank in the army, "just
go out to that woodpile and split an
armful for me, I must hurry up this
fixe, or I cannot get a good supper for
General Washington."
The officer, enjoying the joke, obedi
ently took up the ax, and soon the chips
were flying in all directions. He was
busily working away when Washington
and his staff rode up to the tavern. -
"Why, General Lee," said the commander-in-chief,
"what in the world are
you doing?"
"Oh," replied Lee, lifting his head,
"I am helping the maids in the kitchen.
General Washington and his officers are
coming here for supper to-Bight."
Both generals burst into a hearty
laugh, in which their companions joined;
and even the landlady, who had set- the
general at work, enjoyed the joke after
she had recovered somewhat from her
mortification. Youth's Companion.
The .Bridegroom Had a Dog- License
People wbo have lived in cities where
marriage licenses are required often
have great difficulty in understanding
the system in vogue here. They cannot
realize that the services of a minister or
alderman are all that is necessary when
the parties have reached the proper age.
A German whose knowledge of the Eng
lish language is limited wished to get
married not long ago, and being under
the impression that a license was neces
sary he started out to secure one. He
wandered around the postoffi.ee and the
various municipal and county buildings
for an hour or two, unable to find- the
place where licenses were to be had.
Finally he managed to explain to a
policeman that he wanted a license, al
though he was unable to make it clear
what kind of a one he was after. The
officer directed him to the place where
dog licenses are issued, and the happy
suitor paid his fee and received the
precious paper. -
That evening the German and his
blushing affianced went to the house of
a minister to have the Gordian knot tied.
When the bridegroom proudly handed
over his dog license the worthy pastor
could hardly perform the ceremony for
suppressed laughter. The couple, how
ever, were none tho less firmly married
because the paper allowed the husband
to keep a dog instead of to wed a wife.
