6 A HAPPY JEHU. A runny Story of lovo In and out of n Kltchon. It is pretty generally admitted, so much bo, in fact, that it i reganlcil alnmjt as a rule, that when a man gets into a quarrel with o woman ho can never do any more than come .... i i1Pt. Women seem to ho fully IHlt ovw I'll! nwnro of this, for when they enter upon a little military expedition thoy carry Uionwolvcii m iw .. .t I.,, in twlliiviats fullv roiifidcnt to return fiom it with n captive to tliwrcliaii-rt wheels. Now im1 then, however, tho rule h reversed, nml fnir fcmininityfiiHls out to itisur. row that even to it auoli a word as fail is iui. ,lc MUb Ilobolta Wetzor, a coy Hebrew maiden, is one who has oxpoiloncoil tliis. A f.w months ago she was in tho house of Mr. Jlyinan, in West Twenty. third street, as a cook, and if the fact is taken into consideration that she did not hum tho meat or use- more Ball than tho ordinary human being likes too so often, she was a very fair cook, neaiuy "- . ., ..i.. ..i... liatl nono to spare. She consoled herself, how- ever, with thu adage that, "handsome s ilia' handsome dots," anil ilcvoteu all ner mum .. i i energy to her art of cookery. Now fato wouiu have it that a young man named David Kuycs alao entered tho hotuohold of Mrs. Hyman in Hit capaicity of coachman. Ho was two years younger than Habotta, not ill-looking, and tho consequence was that Uabotta was smitten. To while away tho tlmo which now and then hung heavily on his hands, David paid her some at tention. This increased llabctta's love, nnd in an evil moment sho so far foruot herself aa to grant him favors which sho soon regretted, for Hit Jehu positively refused to return good for goo I by mairyhn; her. It must bo added that David was supposed to bo possessed of come money, nml this fact, perhaps, had tho oiled to ttrongthcntlio passion of the kitchen goddess Itabctta used prayers and entreaties. Noavail. Threats follow cd. No use. Dismal pictures of eternal imprisonment in a gloomy dilution wtro drawn for him. Ho heeded not. Tear.s, the hint rtwmreo of ft woman, were equally fruitless. "Italian was not willin','' and noth ing was ablo to make him willin'. About two uel(H ago ll.ibetta carried her threats into ex ecution and tho iingallunt D.ivid was wifely landed in I.tnllow-strcot Jail, there to think owrtliu enormity of his crime. Strange to siy, however, a few days nfter David's arrest, Isabella called on him with another woman and proposed to givo up nil claims to his person and ti her lights of legally being mado his uifo on piyment of .?I2."i net cash. At least this is David's slory, as told to tho INproes reports r this morning. Hut strange is tho perversity of man. David said winner than pay so much money ho would marry her. It was llabctta's t iru to refine, and tho twain parted in no bet- It spiritH than thoy mot. Koyes engaged counsel, and yesterday thu o ic was before Judge Doimhue. Tho Judgo givu tho Solomonic decision that tho woman should go to Jail, to bo married there. If she did not call on or before I o'clock yesterday, then David was to bo released freed from prirou nnd from all obligations with Miss Ha. bcttu Witrcr. David's counsel hurried to tho Jail and informed his client of tho decision. On Sunday a friend of his hnil brought him in a clean shirt. Me had laid it aside for an ei tra in ilinary occasion. The extraordinary occa. sion, ho thought, had arrived. Ho donned it ycitcntay afternoon. Ho nnd his counsel waited until t o'clock jestenlay. No Habetta arrived. Perhaps the street-car had broken down or an nceident had happened on tho HI cvnted Hiiail, thought counselor and client, nnd waited another hour. At .') the lawyer left anil David took off bis clean shut. There is a happy man in l.udlow-street jail to-day. He will soon I mi relnmcd, and no woman has n claim on him. His name is D.id Keym. Tlioutro Hnturttay Night. Tho Union Comedy Company gave their closing poifiirmaucoof their two weeks engage. mint in this city, at which time they icptnted 'Oliver Twist.'tho play was rendered in a credi ble manor. After the play was concluded,.!. M. Martin and Jann; Owens, were iutiolueod to the audience, nnd had their collar and elbow wristling match, in which Mr. Martin came oil' with the two best out of throe. At I 1. 'clock iv special train took tho company to Portland so as to tako jusnago on the tln.it licpublic.which left Portland for San Francisco at l o'clock yes tenlay morning. The manager, In fact the whole company made in.iny friends during their shod stay in Salem, ami we trust that they may lind itconvicnt to iiit tho capital citv acuin nml that if they do, they may bo faM'ifd with butter weather and a more protit .iMc eiiu-wemviit, .ln.yri'c.ible weather haling iiiUifcred very materially in the attendance duiiiis their stay with us.

Af.er being detained a short tlmo, however, ho was Informed that there was homo misunderstanding in tho matter, and Iho wedding was "de clared oil'." Now Iho question will be asked, "What was the matter'."' Simply this: It had been aseertalnuil by the min isters applied to that Peek had a divorced wile and two children living In St. houis that tho woman ho was about to marry had a husband living In Kalem, Oregon, from whom sho had been recently ill voided 011 technical gnmmls, In oiderto Join Peek; that Peck had told conlllctlut; stories regarding his domestic allalrs, and that he had no moral right to as sume newmaiilal powerc Mr. Pcekmlu tors lo Micred tlilugi at Merced.

Report of Committeo on St&to Printing. To the Legislative Assembly of tho State of Oregon: Your committee appointed to c ammo tho work executed by the State Prin ter during the la jt two j oars, and his charges therefor, beg lc.no to ivjioit that they haie H't formed that duty as fares the short tune allotted tliuiu and the printed matter obtain able would puimit. Tlie appointed Mr. P. 11. D'Aivy, of this city, a piactieal printer, to mcnuiio the woik, mid his repoit is hercuith ti.iusmitted. To vuiify his measurement and estimates, we cAti-vd a p.nt of thewoiktu bo also measured by Mr. Keady, n pt-.1ctic.1l printer, heretofore and now cmplyed ujion thu utato woik, nnd hu mo.-uuromcut comspouds with uu.isurcinent made by Mr. D'Aivy.

Stiusen, feivmau of the State printing olllec, and others, priutera uiniuly, whiih te-itt-mony aveonip.iui this report. It u iir.be teen that Mr. D'Aivy iluds that, "for the work which he was able to obtain copies of printed between fcpt. 1, ISTd. and Sept. I, IS7S, the State pi inter was paid Sil.tM: S 10, and that he was entitled to tewio for the s.ime woik cor nt'tly nie.iuivd iflH.ii'.'-1 ll ihowiug that for that work the State printer nveiied t'T.S.'il IT 111010 tluu he was entitled tumid -e tlie liw." This measurement of Mr. D'Atey's w.u undo under the law exiitiug when Mr. Hrown was elected. In 1ST a now law was enacted, changing in some icipects the manner of ex ecuting the work. It is clear that it is in the power of tho louhtum to make 'such changes during the term of an elected printer, and that in these particuhra the work should have been done and tho measurement nude under the act of 1ST I Your committee an supported 111 tlur opinion by mcmlK'rs of the legal profession with whom thoy have t like ' The to.tiuuuy o( (10V, Chadwlck show that he has the same wuamette; viow of tho law. Computations under this law, Mr. D'Anoy estimates, uviulil still fur'Hatr rcduca the compensation to which rste fitatn printec waa entitled for 'snipomtion, nevaa work ami ppur on tho jouwaU fully t teven per cent. Mr. Wnito, a well known borlt and job printer, who is now do'tvr the state jchit iny, estimates that tho reduction woi.il lie greater than that for worlj. that Mr. U'Arcy did not lutasurc, not btlng ablo to obtain topics of tho name. It is presumable sh.it the overpayment upon this, work was not leu '.bin up.jii that Mtasud u:.l t.j.-rtwl by U'Arcy. House joint rczolutiou No. 40 of tho acHsioii of 187-, provi'lca that for pamphlots and journal, papur 21 by !!3 huttea in ci73 shall bo used. Tho testimony of Mr. Kcady, and also of Mr. f-tiiuon, whowss foreman of the state printing oih'co, show iliat the pa-KT of that size wan actually used, but tlw "Ufu was charged for paper only otw-iouith thai uro, the printer making four towns of onu. Thus, for -" " ll,ur for which the law albw-d ten dollars and which cost almut six dollars, tho printyr obtained from the htato about forty dolln.v. Picaswork was charged four pages to tho form or siuaturo. Tho law required that tiiero iihall lie eight pages, and tho testimony shows that nearly nil, or nil, wai pimv.w eyn., t!l0 iavilioti. The idea wai a good ono tj pageitotlio form. Composition on one lrt8a avo mu,iC nJ t and natural history in prox bills invariably charged two pages.

The law of 1ST 1 provides GOO copi-s of the sesiion lawn, by order of tho secretary of state, and 1,000 copies were printed. In IS70 the statu paid Sill fov printing as sessment rolls for nil the countici. There seems it be no authority for this. The state is charged with tlie covering of 1,000 each of the message and accompanying documents. Tho testimony of (loceruor Cliadwii-k shows that HOD were hound together in one volume, and therefore wera not covered at all. In cluding the governor's message there are 1 7 of these documents, which makes a rediutioii on this item of 370."- Tlie uic.uurcmeut of our ex pert, Mr. D'Arey, does not include this deduc tion. Having no evidence as to tho number actually furnished, wo therefore allowed for the full number which the law provides for and 011 which the state printer charged. These are but illustrations, and do not by any means cover nil the abuses discovered in the de partment. Mr. Noltuer, the state printing oxjiert, testilied that he did not inaasure a pige of the printing, though he certified to its cor rectness under oath nnd charged the state for six days' service in measuring the work. Ho was the ollicer of tho state supposed to stand l.utiiocn (In) t. 1 to .mil thu iiliiler, ami liiicon duct 111 certifying to the work, with or without examination, was most ivpiehensihlo and de serving the Koverest censure.

Had either of tlieso ollioers performed their duti-'s, the state would have been saved thousands of dollars unlawfully taken from its treasury. Under the held of "department riinting" all sot ts of work seem to have been done, even to the printing of oru imeiital programmes of the daily piocccdiugof the teavheis' institutes, and thu free circulation of the same .unotig tho eiti .ens of .the town) wIioi'J held.
