MOTHER.
fFrom the Boone County vMo.) Journal.
Oh! magical name, was there ever another
So dear to the heart as the loved name of
Mother :
Was there ever another to comfort, to
cheer,
Tis the soul's dearest gift of all others
most dear.
'Tis the staff of the young, and the guide
of the youth ,
It? precepts are ever accompanied by truth ;
It clings around us all in sorrow and dread,
It lives iu the heart wheu all else is dead.
What a thrill of new joy this nane brings
'" to me,
Wl erever I wander, where e're I may be ;
Of all earthly treasures I know there's no
other.
Can make the heart throb like the loved
name of Mother.
Oh! faithful memory ever doth trace.
The angelic features of a fond mother's
lace ;
The soul lighted eyes, they haunt me with
love,
From their place in the skies, from their
bright home above.
She basgone from me now but her soul
rests with God.
The Casket alone sleeps beneath the green
sod ;
Above with the pure and sinless she waits.
The loved-ones who enter the white pear
ly gales.

JACKSON COUNTY.
This comity, like Douglas, situ
ated in an extensive basin of un
surpassed fertility and loveliness,
seems to have been supplied by
nature with all tlio.se inherent ele
ments that tend to render a com
munity independent of other local
ities, and capable of supplying a
dense agricultural, manufacturing
and mining. population with all the
luxuries of independence, content
ment and wealth. Bounded on the
north by the Rogue river moun
tains, which separate it from Doug
las and Grant, east by Grant
county on the lino of the 120th
parallel of west longitude, south
by the Siskiyou mountains, on the
42d parallel of north latitude,
dividing it from California, and
west bv the Coast Range moun
tains and Josephine county. This
county would seem to the casual
observer or stranger to be an al
most isolated location, cut off from
communication with the outer
world. But the energetic miner, the
industrious farmer, and the hardy
pioneer wore not to be intimidated
by any trivial obstacles in the way
of opening a communication with
a valley where nature has lavished
her wealth with so liberal a hand.
Bridges have been constructed,
passes surveyed and roads graded
through all of the different ranges
of mountains with wjiieh this love
ly valley is surrounded ; and Jack
son county is now provided with
good roads and means of commu
nication with Portland on the
north and Sacramento on the south,
by a daily line of stages -and mail
coaches running between these two
places. The enterprising citizens
of this county have also opened a
wagon road by which the immi
grant from the plains can come by
the way of Humboldt, Goose Lake
and Klamath Lake route from the
east. Pack trails and wagon roads
have also been opened westward,
through the Coast Range moun
tains to Port Orford and other
points along the Pacific coast.
This county has an assessable
property valuation of nearly one
and a haf million dollars, covers
an area of about 9,000,000 acres of
land, and has a population of be
tween 5,000 and 6,000. The min
eral resources of this county are too
celebrated throughout all parts of
the country to require an' lengthy
description in this place. The im
mense quantities of gold taken trom
the placer diggings annually for
the last eight-ears, with the nu
merous quartz'lodcs of inexhaust
ible wealth, give unmistakable
proof of the capacity of her gold
mines, and rciuler it a county of im
portance not only, to the State of
Oregon, but also worthy of high
consideration in the financial cir
cles of the whole United States.
These irold mines annually furnish
profitable employment to a great
number of men, yielding handsome
dividends on the amount of capital
invested and the number of men
empuneu. Aew discoveries of
gold are annually being made in
this count-, and" with the knowl
edge that iron, coal, silver, lead and
copper also exist here, it is but fair
to infer that mining in this locality
is but just in its infancy. Valuable
mineral springs also exist in this
county, from some of which a su
perior article of salt has been man
ufactured for a, number of years,
and is now taking precedence in
many of the markets of Southern
Oregon and Northern California.
These springs are capable of yield
ing an almost unlimited supply of
salt, if properly developed and
worked to their full capacity.
Timber of all kinds known to
Oregon, and of the finest quality
for fuel, fencing, building, and gen
eral lumbering purposes,, is con
veniently distributed through all
sections of the county, with water
power and mill sites of sufficient
capacity to drive the machinery
for the milling and manufacturing
purposes of an entire State.
The face of the country in this
county is diversified with lofty
mountains and extended ranges of
hills, from whose summits may be
seen extensive valleys, through
which Rogue River and its numer
ous tributaries, like silver threads,
seem interwoven in a maze of wild,
enchanting loveliness. These val
leys, as they roll back from the
centre in gentle, undulating swells,
or break into abrupt elevations, ex
tending their long lines in either
direction toward lofty mountain
ranges in the distance, covered
with immense forests, form a basin
apparently encircled with moun
tains, and known as the Rogue
River Valley.
The general geological charac
ter of the county bears strong in
dications of volcanic action, sco
riaceous and trapean masses occur
ring in many places in the eastern
part. Still there 4s often found in
this valley a sort of conglomerate
siheious composition, which often
contains shells and other indica
tions of sedimentary formation.
At the intersection of the Coast
Range mountains by Rogue river,
sand stone prevails, and the strata
remains uninterrupted, except at
long intervals. The soil along the
crooks and river bottoms and thro'
the valley is very fertile, being an
alluvial deposit of sediment, de
composed earth and vegetable
mold. These valleys, when cul
tivated, produce all kinds of cere
als in perfection ; also, roots, veg
etables, Indian corn, tobacco, and
all the varieties of fruit known to
the climate of Oregon. The
plateau, or more elevated portions,
have a moderately rich soil, whose
chief component parts are silica
and a brownish grav mixture of
decomposed vegetable, clay and
sand loam. These lands, where
cultivated, have proven very pro
ductive, and are nowhere excelled
for their capacity to raise wheat.
This entire valley seems particu
larly adapted to stock-raisings its
hills, prairies and valleys affording
an almost unlimited supply of pas
turage, where stock of all kinds
fatten and thrive with but little
care, seldom requiring extra feed,
and in those instances not more
than two or three months in the
vear. The climate, similar to that
ml '
of the same altitude in other por
tions of the State, is mild, even
and temperate, but not so humid
as in the Willamette valley, the
extremes of cold seldom falling be
low zero or that of heat rising to
one hundred degrees above.
The water is pure, soft and abun
dant, being supplied by springs,
brooks and rivulets from the moun
tains, while the numerous cascades
along Rogue river and its tribu
taries furnish motive power in
abundance for every variety of ma
chinery. In regard to the health of this
county, there can be but one con
clusion formed. A locality with
pure running w ater, and the facil
ities for enjoying a climate in sum
mer fanned by a gentle sea breeze,
or by altitude to inhale the brac
ing air of perpetual snow, must im
part strength and vigor to the in
valid and insure to the man of
health a hale old age. The facil
ities for marketing are confined
principally to the various mining
camps in this portion of Oregon
and Northern California, where
fruit vegetables, flour, bacon, beef,
butter and cheese find a ready
market at remunerative prices.
Liberal provisions for schools
and religious instruction hav e been
made the generous hearted and
industrious "miner being generally
ready to contribute to the estab
lishment of good society as lib
erally as any other class of men
within the State. Flouring mills,
lumber mills and all kinds of me
chanical industry are established
and carried on in the various set
tlements in this valley. Also,
stores, well supplied with agricul
tural implements, miners' and me
chanics' tools, and with a general
assortment of merchandise, where
the immigrant or new settlers can
obtain supplies ol all kinds at
reasonable rates.
The price of farming land is from
five to ten dollars per acre, and
there are now about ,15,000 acres
under cultivation. Good govern
ment land for grazing or agricul
tural purposes can be obtained in
many portions of the county. -
A woolen mill is now in success
ful operation at Ashland, making
up the products of the flock into
articles for bedding and clothing,
suitable to the wants of the com
munity. The water-power at Ash
land is splendid. There are at this
place a flouring mill, machine shop,
marble factory, a woolen mill, and
two lumbering mills. The char
acter of the goods manufactured
here does credit to our manufactur
ing establishments. The marble
is of excellent quality, and is found
near by.
Jacksonville, the county seat, is
a flourishing town, with good pub
lic and private schools, a number
of churches belong to the various
religious denominations, mechanic
shops, stores, hotels, a postoflice,
fine private residences, and all the
different business establishments,
sufficient to render the town pleas
ant and prosperous. There is a
number of other thriring towns in
this valley, with stores, posteftices,
and other business operations.
Among them are Ashland, Wil
low Springs, Applcgate, Grant's
Pass, Pock Point ami Phoenix.
The creeks and rivers abound
with fish, among which are the
salmon, chub, sucker, and moun
tain trout. Bear, elk, antelope,
doer, and many kinds of small game
are found in this locality; also a
great variety of wild birds and
water fowls, peculiar to the west
ern slope of the Rocky mountains.

COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY,
Romantic Episode.
During thc. storm 'f yesterday
there occurred in th'n city, one of
those episodes in human life, the
circumstances and , particulars of
which' make it appear more like a
stage production than a living re
ality the meeting of two sisters
after long years of separation one
of them for a few years past a res
ident of one pf our most fashion
able thorougfares, and the wife of
a successful and respectable busi
ness hian ; the other unmarried,
and .forsomcears past a play
thing j,fpr 4he freaks of fortune.
The meeting tookplace on the
pavement, in front of a well known
dry goods establishment, and was
witnessed by a number of passers
by, who, seeing the lady in silks,
satins and furs, in commune with
one whose bonnet was old and tat
tered, -whose shawl was faded,
whose dress "was travel-soiled, and
whose shoes illy protected her
tired feet from the snow that lay
beneath them, paused to; observe
the (to them) strange spectacle.
The facts, as hastily gleaned
from the porter and an imtimate
friend of the family, are as fol
lows: Years ago, the wife of whom we
speak lived with her parents in the
in the State of New York, where
she was courted and won, but in
opposition to the will of her par
ents, by the man who is now her
husband. For a time the marriage
was delayed, in hope that her par
ents would finally give their con
sent, but the hope was vain. An
elopement was planned and suc
cessfully: carried out, and from that
day forward no tidings of her par
ents, brother or sister, were ever
had by the eloping daughter.
The couple came West, and by
judicious and careful management,
industry and econiny, a nice com
petence was accumulated, and a
few years ago this city was select
ed as their future and permanent
home.
After the elopement came the
war, and the two brothers respond
ing to their country's call, went
forth4o return t.o their homes no
more. They fell "in the battle of
Pittsburg Landing. Sickness came
to their father, mother and only
child a daughter and with sick
ness and disease, other misfortunes
that oat up the substance and
estate of the parents, and, with a
hope to recover, in some measure,
their lost competence, they joined
a colony that was organizing for
settlement on some of the tributa
ries of the Republican river iu
Kansas. The fate of that colony
is well known to those who are
familiar with the numerous Indian
massacres on the western bodcrs
within the last two years. The
aged father and mother -were
among those who were murdtred,
and the daughter, was lefl without
home or shelter, or the knowledge
of the existence of a relation west of
her birth place, and to her friends
there she determined to appeal for
a home. Letter after letter was
written, but no reply ever came to
greet her expectant yearning, and
after months of waiting, she de
termined to attempt the journey
and make her way back to the
place where she was born. With
this intention she gatheredtogcth
er her scanty wardrobe,v3nd, in
company with a returning family,
started on her long journey. Their
means were scanty, and by the
time they had reached the State
line in Kansas city, they were
pcnnilness. The family with whom
she was stopping concluded to
stop there, but the girl decided to
prosecute her journey to a termi
nation. Out of money and desti
tute, she frankly made known her
condition and the circumstances
attending her checkered life to Col.
Sam Lowe, of the State Line
House, and that gentleman, with
his Well known chivalry and lib
eral 'hearted ness, provided her
with. part of the funds to defray
her passage to St. Louis, and saw
that the lack of the balance should
not prevent her from reaching this
city. On Sunday afternoon last,
she took the evening express, and
on Monday morning found herself
here, without a single dollar, and
no clothes but those she wore.
Monday she spent in seeking em
ployment, but her garb was a poor
recommendation, and she was
turned away from every door at
which she applied for the means
of earning a subsistence. Where
she rested on Monday night is not
known to us, but yesterday morn
ing she wandered out in the storm
and snow, with, as may be sup
posed a heavy heart, and a cold
and, suffering body as well. In
her incandenngs she chanced to
3 .
f
-
pause in front of the palace of
fashion already indicated, and as
she paused she sobted and wept,
and who similarly situated would
not ? While weeping and sobbing,
a lady emerging from the store,
happened to see her tear-stained
face and hear her sobs, and
perhaps some old memory was
awakened, and though her car
riage was, in waiting, she turned
aside and engage the wanderer in
conversation. Question followed
question, the answers were frank
and candid, and in a few minutes
the gaily attired and fashionable
woman recognized in the weeping
girl the youngest of her parents'
once happy household, and not
withstanding the wondering gaze
of the spectators gathered around
them, she clasped her in a long,
fond embrace, and freely mingled
her tears with those of her sister.
The denouement may be easily
imagined. The carriage was called
and the two sisters entered, and
again clasped each other in sisterly
affection, were driven away to a
home of comfort and affluence.
This was as singular as happy, and
so long as she wills it, a home and
life of joy and contentment is open
to the one who has snffered so
long and endured such trials. St.
Trout's Republican Oct. 20.
Love at Eighty-three.
From the Milwaukee Wi.-consin, Feb. 3.
Last fall a well-known citizen of
La Crosse county, a venerable but
hale and hearty old gentleman, 83
years of age, met with a most ro
mantic incident while on an eastern
trip. By some "accident the train
was delayed, and the old gentle
man, Justin Jacobs, Esq., went to
a residence nearby. Judge of the
old man's surprise to find that the
lady of the house was one whom
he knew in early life. Indeed,
when both were young, in their
eastern home, they had loved each
other; but the fates, as the fates
will oftentimes do such cruel work,
seperatcd them. What more nat
ural than they should talk over
the olden time and revive the af
fectionate scenes of early life, and
what more natural than that there
should spring from this revival the
old love kindled anew, and that it
should burn into a bright flame?
Such was the case. Then again
the' plighted their troth and the
'squire came home a happy man,
and thanking Providence for the
railroad accident.
We learn from the La Crosse
Republican that in a few days
'Squire Jacobs loaves his home to
go east, that his happiness may be
made complete. Senator Ranncy
and Postmaster Lotteridge, of La
Crosse, were appointed a commit
tee to ask the old gentleman " At
what period in life does nuptial fe
licity become extinguished?" and
as the joke is too good to keep, we
must give the old veteran's an
swer: "Boys, you must ask some
man older than I am ;" whereupon
the committee adjourned sine die.
The good old 'squire is a hale
and vigorous old man, who walks
his four miles daily to the West Sa
lem post office for his " mail mat
ter." He is a great reader. A few
years ago while holding court as a
justice of the peace, he summarily
settled a sadly snarled quarrel be
tween two litigants, the conflicting
testimony of whose witnesses "bad
ly mixed " the court and audience,
about a spotted calf that was the
cause of litigation and strife.
'Squire Jacobs, with a look of un
utterable disgust for all concerned
decided thus: "I dismiss the suit,
and jay costs myself, if the parties
will cry quits." Amid rip-roarous
applause, no one appealed from the
decision of the court.
A gentle Quaker had two horses,
a very good and a very poor one.
When seen riding the latter it
turned out that his better half had
taken the good one. " What !"
said a sneering bachelor, "how
comes it that you let your, wife
ride the better v horse " The" only
reply was: "Friend, when thee
get's married, thee'll know."
A correspondent of the Church
Union is looking carefully into
Bible chronology to ascertain
whether Methuselah was drowned
by the flood or whether he died in
his bed. The question is some
what mixed, but he expresses a
hope that he died a natural death,
" for it would have been awful to
live so long and be drowned after
all."
. Improve the man and his style
vill take care of itself.

Hiram R. Revels, t
Most people have heard that for
the first3 time in the history of the
United States," a colored Senator
has been returned to the halls of
Washington, and they have ? con
sequently wondered who and What
manner of man is ..Senator Hiram
R. Revels. Every one does not
know that lie is a Leavenworth
man. and that while here he was
a minister of such scandalous pro
clivities that his own brethren and
flock turned upon him and forced
him to seek other fieldsand pas
tures new. The outlines ofo) his
history we propose tot giv-an a
brief space as possible. ."
Mr. Hiram R. Revels was born
in the State og, Is orth Carolina,
and we first hear of him 'in St.
Louis, where he succeeded his
brother in the charge of a church,
and where he became involved in
a desperate church riot, wherein he
himself was knocked down by a G
bottle, and in consequence of
which about fifty arrests were
made. For this he was dismissed
from .the church, and took to
school teaching for a living.
In 1864 he was again admitted
into the church, and cametoLeav
worth in 1865.
In this-ity he speedily became,
as pastor of the M. E. Church, in
volved in a dispute with the elder
in regard to some alleged misap
appropriation of the funds of the
church. It was at this time that
Mr. John Morris, the barber who
now resides on Deleware Street,
and who is a man of much talent,
published a pamphlet entitled " A
Humbug," in which he., made
specific allegations that Revels had
plundered the church of the sum
of $1,150, and bringing forward
proof of the same. For this
Revels, in the month of June, 1867,
brought an action against Morris
for libel, which he lost, the jury
being convinced of the truth of the
allegation. This was noticed at
length in the Commercial of the
23d of June, and the-substance of it
is contained n the following para
graph cut from our edition to that
date :
" i timi"cu mat, ine iioei
consisted in charging Revels with
having appropriated funds of the
church. A large number of wit
4 ' ., i .0
in;n.n ic?iiueu, auu p;ipt"J account
books, and other documents were
offered in evidence. The case was
very ably conducted by th prose
cution and defense, and after able
and lengthy arguments to the jury
was submitted to them. The jury
retired, and after being out six
minutes, returned a verdict of nof
guilty, thus sustaining the charges
as made by the author of " A
Humbug," a little-book, the merits
of which, it seenr, consisted in its
being true."
Revels being thus acknowledged
as guilty by his own people left
Leavenworth in the fall of 1867,
and removed to Louisville, Ken
tucky, where, in consequence of a
pamphlet published in this place
by John Morris, calling attention
to his misdeeds, he removed in the
fall of 1868 to Natchoz, Missis
sippi. It must ha veQ been some
where about this time that we
hear of him at Memphis, but how
long he remained there we know
not. While in that city, however,
assisted in the character of cxhort
er at the hanging of a man named
Moody, who was executed for
murdering a Captain Perry. In
this, however, he only anticipated
Henry Wrard Beecher, Mrs. Stowe
and other remarkable radicals,
who have a sanctimonious relish
for the horrible, and his instincts in
this lespect can hardly be deemed
perverted but efeem to flow in the
legitimate channel.
The last we hear of the Rev. Mi;.
Revels is from Mississippi, of which.
State he is now elected Senator
to which high office he appears to
have been elevated undercpeculiar
circumstances. He obtained , no
