A young lady, who is of a very nervous, excitable temperament, and who hears much of the cruel treatment of animals by railroad emphn'ees and others, while being transported to market was one day visiting with others, at the hous3 of a friend, when she discovered a wagon load of calves being hauld toward the slaughter house. When nearly in front of the house one of the unfortunate calves man aged to jump from the cart, when he was roughly seized by the ex tremities by the cruel driver, and lifted unceremoniously in again, whereupon she, blazing with ex citement, exclaimed: 'Look! See that wretch! He has got that calf right by the ears and tail! I wish I had him the same way; I'd let him know how good it was!"' Which little speech brought down the house. A pun upon a slang phrase, per petrated in a material form, is trav eling around the country It is simply a dilapidated shoe, fastened between two old book covers, on which is pasted a picture of a prom inent public man driving off flies with a broom. This curious mis sive travels from post-office to post ofllce. It is stamped with the post-marks of cities in Illinois, in Oregon, on Pacific .Railroad, on the Panama steamship route. When last heard of it was on the way from Cincinnati to New Orleans. Each recipient, after studying out the enigma, posts it to a new sta tion, and prolongs the waudcrings of the "shoo fly." One of the witnesses before Gen eral Hutler's Cuban Investigation Committee, testifies that he had 127,000 worth of Cuban bonds, for " preparing pamphlets for the Cuban Junta," and that a fellow correspondent of a New York pa per had $3,000 worth for his "in fluence" in behalf of Cuba in his dispatches. . ine lievoiution asks,- are women naturally liars?" and re plies that ; they are, " in conse quence of their common humani ty;" and it excuses the trait on the ground that if the truth only should be told for one day, it would destroy households, rupture business relations, sunder friend ships, and come various games of that sort. The Willamette Locks Bill. An act to appropriate funds for the construction of a steamboat canal at the Willamette Falls. Whereas, "The ' Willamette Falls Canal and Lock Cmpany" was duly incorporated under the laws of Oregon, on the 14th day of September" 1868, for the pur pose of constructing a canal and locks at, and on the west side of the Willamette Falls; aud, fc Whereas, It is of great im portance to the people of Oregon that the obstructions to the free navigation of the Willamette river at that place should be removed, and freights carried on said river should be cheapened; therefore, De it enacted by the Legislative Assembly of the State of Ore joji: Section 1. That the State of Oregon herel agrees and pledges its faith to pay the Willamette Falls Canal and Lock Company the sum of money in gold coin as hereinaftei' set forth, out of the funds donated by the United States to Oregon for the-purpose of internal improvement. Sec. 2. In order to entitle the said corporation to receive the sum of money hereby agreed to be paid, it shall be the duty of said corporation to construct a canal and locks at and on the AVest side of the Willamette falls; the said locks to be not less than one hun dred and sixty feet in lenght, and forty feet in width, and to be con structed chiefly of stone cement and iron, and otherwise built in a durable manner. The said canal and locks to be completed on or before the 1st day of January, 1873. And after the completion of the same, the said corporation shall pass without delay, through the said canal and locks, all steam, boats, flatboats, barges and other water craft, in the order in which they shall arrive at either terminus of said canal. Sec. 3. The State of Oregon agrees to pay the said sum of money upon the express condition that the said corporation, after the completion of the said canal and locks as hereinafter set forth, slmll not charge a greater rate of tolls than fift7 cents per ton for freight, and ten cents for each passenger going through said canal and locks in steamboats and other water craft. And at the expiration of" twenty years from the time said canal and locks are completed, the State of Oregon shall have the right to take and appropriate to its own use forever, the said canal and locks, upon the payment to the said corporation the actual value thereof at the time of taking and appropriating the same, which value shall be ascertained in such manner as the Legislative Assem bly of Oregon may hereafter pre scribe. Sec. 4. Within ninety days af ter the approval of the Act, the Willamette Falls Canal and Lock Company shall execute and deliver to the Secretary of the State a good and sufficient bond, with sureties, payable to the State of Oregon, in the sum of three hun died thousand dollars in gold coin of the LTnited States; said bond to be approved by the Governor of this State, conditioned that the said company slmll, on or before the first day of January, 1873, construct and complete said canal and locks in accordance with the provisions of this Act. Upon the delivery and approval of said bond the Governor and Secretary of State shall issue and deliver to the said Willamette Falls Canal and Lock Company gold bonds of the State of Oregon for the sum of two hundred thousand dollars, in bonds of five hundred dollars each, payable to said Canal and Lock Company or its legal assignees in ten years, or sooner, rvt the option of the State bearing interest at the rate of seven per cent, per annum, payable semi-annually in gold. Principal and interest of said bonds shall be paid out of the fund arising from the five per cent, of the net proceeds of the sale of the public, lands of the United States, lying within this State, or out of the sale of the five hundred thousand acres of land donated to the State of Oregon by Act of Congress for the purpose of inter nal improvement, and not Other wise, or from both "of said funds, and not otherwise. Sec. 5. The faith of the State of Oregon is hereby pledged so to administer said funds as to make them available at the earliest pe riod for the payment of said bonds by this Act authorized to be issuer upon the express condition that said corporation shall construct said canal and locks in the manner before provided in this Act; arid not charge a greater rate of tolls than is herein set forth. And it is further provided that the issuance and payment of-said bondsshall be made upon the express condi tion that said corporation shallepav to the State of Oregon ten per centum of the net profits shall be paid into the common school funds of this State. ' Sec. 6. The ii ti'anai jina Lock Company, shall be. required to fully complete said canal and. locks according to the require ments of this Act, on or before tho first day of January 1873. And if the above condition is not com plied with, the bonds required bp this Act to be given by. said cor poration to the State of Oregon shall be deemed to be forfeited and broken, and all the rights given to said company by the State under this Act shall be deemed forfeited. Sec. 7. Upon the completion of the said canal and locks the Gov-., ernor shall appoint three Commis sioners to examine the works and report thereon; and if, from tho. report of the said Commissioners, or a majority of them, the woks. are declared to be .completed . as. hereinbefore specified, then said corporation shall be discharged from all liability on its bond exe cuted to the State of Oregon. Sec. 8. The sum of fifty thou sand dollars is hereby appropri ated out of any moneys in the treasury belonging to said funds hereinbefore specified, to be appli ed in payment of the interest on said bonds, and in payment of tho principal of said bonds, as far as the same will extend. Sec. 9. In case the State or Oregon :hall at any time take po session of said canal and locks as provided in this acfV the said smu of two hundred thousand dollars' shall be paid into the Common School Fund of this State by the State of Oregon. -y i .. Have you a Flan. We mean for the next year's op- erations on the farm. If not you have the long winter with its many s hours of leisure, to study aiut)ma ture one. Take an honest view of the last ten years of jour farming, and answer fairly to yourself, at least, if the result- thereof would , not have been more profitable, had you chosen a different course. Have you any more system now than ten years ago; or do you grow crops hap-hazard, such as you think will best hit the market? Is your land richer; IIiCq average product greater ; is it less weedy; smoother on the surface; better fenced, and supplied with more ample and convenient buildings? If not, your system of farming is unprofitable. Perhaps you have made a great deal of money, and have invested it in bank stock, oil stock, or Unit ed States Bonds; and you think this- accumulation an evidence of prosperity. Hut deduct a fair compensation for your labor and has not the remainder been taken from the intrinsic value of your land? If you sell the products of the farm now for the same prices they brought ten years ago, and incur the same expenses you did then, will your income be- as large? If the conclusion is forced upon you that the farm will not produce as abundantly as in for-' mer times, then you must own that the land has been robbed of this surplus money, and that it is not legitimate profit. Suppose that each year for tho past ten, you had built fifty rods of durable fence such as will last a lifetime; and each year had con structed one hundred rods of under drains; and instead of allowing thistles and other weeds to increase had annually diminished them ten per cents. Suppose you had pur sued a systematic rotation, sowing each year the same number of acres, and planting, mowing, ami pas turing an equal breadth annually, feeding all coarse grain, fodder, and turning off increasing quanti ties of meat and wool, as your high fed land yielded more, would not your purse be as full as at present? And more than would not your farm bear a r,eflrer resemblance to that icai your fan cy creates, when lt pictures the homestead yo1;, desire -should' shel ter and comfort you in old age, and which v,vould be a proud monument of your skill as an Agriculturist. It. is plain what results would- have been reached, if during the last ten years you had worked with a wise and well matured system. Waste no more time. Let tho success of the Future atone for the shortcomings of the Past. 0 o J ' o lii o o 0 o G Q O Q e e m
