“ One leaped op with the light,
With the soaring of the lark;
One felt it ever night.
For his soul was ever dark,
One heart was hard as stone,
One heart was ever gay,
One worked with many a groan.
One whistled all the day.
“ One had a flower-el ad cot
Beside a merry mill.
Wife and ohildrpn near the spot,
Mntle it sweeter, fairer still;
One a wretched hovel hnd,
Full of discord, dirt, and din,—
No wonder he seemed mad,
Wife and children starved within.
“ Still they worked in the same field,
Toiling on from day to day.
Both had the same hard labor.
Both had the same small pay.
But they worked not with one will,
The reason let me tell.—
Lo! the one drank at the still,
And the other at the well.”

Miss Rachael Hoffman will com
mence a term of school the last
Monday in May. From Miss H off
man’s proficiency and experience as
a teacher o f youth, we h iv e no
doubt that her pupils as well as
their parents will be well pleased
at the result obtained at the expira
tion o f the term.
A friend o f ours lately went to
Empire City by the direct road
from Bandon. H e was never over
the road before, and although he
was warned o f what he would have
to contend with, he was determin
ed to persevere. H e thought he’d
easily overcome the Seven Devils,
but the fact is that the Seven Dev
ils easily overcom e him. H e says
it was a truly horrible and awful
job. H e had to lay hold o f every
thing and climb up one side on his
belly, and then lay a bold o f any
thing and clim b down the other
side on his back. H e declines to
give further particulars. H e came
home via Coquille City.
Albert and Mrs. Giromi gave a
musical soiree to a few select
friends at their hospitable resi
dence on Saturday evening last,
amoDgst whom were Mrs. Hoffman,
Geo. F. Williams, Miss Rachael
Hoffman, Robt. E. Shine, Messrs.
Truman, Anderson, etc., etc. After
spending a very agreeable evening
they all parted much pleased with
the aflibility and hospitality o f
their worthy host and hostess, and
with one another.
W e are all greatly pleased with
our road supervisor—Mr. J. Brad
ley. Although but a short time in
office he has already given great
satisfaction.
H e is an excellent
engineer, and his mechanical skill
and abilities are unquestionable.
H e has greatly and permanently
improved our highways and dis
pensed with unnecessary bridges,
the lumber of which he was able to
utilize by his own mechanical skill
for useful purposes, and all at an
expeuse so trifling as to meet the
approval o f all the rate payers
totally irrespective as to what po
litical or prohibition party they be
long* to.
It is rumored by soma that our
popular saloon keeper, Daniel M c
Rae, has gone to F risco to get a
good stock o f “ Old Kentucky.”
Others say that it is to get a “ B u f

Kildare.” W ell we hope that she
will prove to be as good a fellow as
Dao, and if she does we will give
them both a spirited, as well as a
cordial reception.

(From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, May 16th, 1887.
The past ^eek was full o f inter
est to the people o f Washington as
well as to the hundreds o f strangers
who came hither through interests
scientific, business and social.
I
may say there were four national
conventions. First came the hotel
proprietors, representing all the
leading cities and all the leading
hotels o f the United States, who
talked over matterwof mutual inter
est, exchanged ideas and experi
ences and had a good time general
ly. Then there was the American
Surgical Association, which was in
session here, and the society o f the
Army o f the Cumberland, which
held its anuual reunion and unveil
ed the statue it had erected to G ar
field with much impressive pomp
and ceremony.
And Saturday
morning saw an assemblage o f gen
tlemen such as the world has rare
ly witnessed. This was the forty-
niners— the men
who
crossed
mountain and plain, braved the ice
fields o f the Antarctic seas, or the
fervid suns and fevers o f the torrid
zone, and founded a new empire on
the shores o f the Pacific. A num
ber o f these California pioneers,
probably a hundred or more, met
here and spent the day iogether.
They boarded a Potom ac steamer
and had a sail down the river, dur
ing which they organized a Califor
nia Pioneer’s association. A plank
shail dinner followed, and then re
citals o f incidents, adventures, and
reminiscences o f their earlier days,
which showed that these “ Jasons”
o f the new world are still young
enough to enjoy themselves.
On last Friday, President Cleve
land, for the first time in his life,
made a pilgrimage to the tomb o f
George Washington. It was at the
invitation o f the widow o f General
Logan, who is now regent o f the
Mount Yernon association.
The
president,
Mrs. Cleveland and
about a dozen other invited guests
embarked on the steamer Corcoran
late in the afternoon.
Arriving
there they spent an hour or so
rambling about the historic spot
and returned to the city after night
Two days hence eoldier boys
from all over the United States will
be pouring into Washington for
the National Drill. The first com
pany to arrive will be the Vicks
burg Southrons, then the Indian
apolis Light Infantry, the Louisana
Ritles, and the Muscatine Rides.
Sunday will be the busiest day for
arrivals, however, and before mid
night it is expected that every
company will be quartered on the
camp ground.
Miss Clara Barton, president of
the Red Cross society, will have
charge o f the hospital o f the en
campment, and a dozen local phys
icians and surgeons will be on her
staff, as also veteran army nurses
and a number o f volunteers from
the Training school for nurses.
Temporary hospital barracks are
being erected, and the soldiers will
be well cared for when they get
sick.
T o the majority o f the people o f
this city, the necessity o f a hospit
al department to the National Drill
seemed to be a surprise.
Prepa
rations by the Red Cross society
seemed to be the drst suggestion to
them that the com ing week o f m il
itary display was likely to place
among ns sick and suffering men,
strangers and soldiers who would
need treatment and care.
Until
then probably not one person in a
hundred had realized that there
could he a serious feature connect
ed with the great holiday week, or
that so much display could develop
as a part o f itself, an actual neces
sity, demanding the same means o f
relief, the same watchful care, ten
der sympathy, wise provision aild
firm control that an equal number
o f soldiers might .require in a ver
itable camp or actual campaigo.

makes it apparent that it would be
impossible to bring thousands of
men here under any form o f enlist
ment,from their wide spread homes,
subject to change o f all habits of
life, food, water, climate, occupa
tion and rest, and place them in
competitive action, every man at
his most and best, for the space o f
nine days, without any of them
falling ill or needing care or treat
ment. It will be wonderful, in-
dee« l, it there be not some who will
never return to their homes.

Ed. H erald : A s you have no
correspondent from this place I
will endeavor to write a few items.
A large crowd attended the May
party at Bandon the 14th, from
Parkersburg— all enjoyed them
selves nicely.
Messrs. Lowe & Hammerberg
are building the steamer for
Mess. Morgan & Fredrick. They are
both good workmen— are getting
along nicely. It will be a fine little
boat when finished. W e hope they
may do well with it and we have
no reason to think any other way,
for Mr. Morgan is an excellent en
gineer and can handle a boat in
good shape. Messrs. Morgan &
Fredricks are the style of young
men, that everylxxly likes to see.
How many young men in this
country that work for wages, can
show enough money to build a
steamboat. Very few. Any o f
them could, if they would only
take care o f their money, but they
do not do it.
W e have organized a literary so
ciety at Parkersburg.
Quite a
number o f members, constituting
also a “ Prohi club.” W e think if
some good worker would give us a
call or two, we would have a prohi
bition town o f Parkersburg which
had ought to be as well as every
other town in Oregon.
I think it
the duty of every voter in Oregon
to vote for the amendment. W e
all are aware that it’s a curse to our
country. Look at those states that
have the prohibitory laws; look at
the class o f people that was in the
habit o f spending their Saturday
nights and Sundays in the grog
shops, witli their families at home
without bread or clothes.
Now
you see them going to prayer meet
ing or to Sunday school.
G o to
their houses and see plenty on
their tables which were empty o f
even dishes before! that will prove
to any sensible, thinking person
what prohibition means. There is
one thing we need at this place
very much for literary and other
societies and that is a good hall.
We think when Capt. Parker gets
everything adjusted just right, he
will put up a good hall.
H e has
been talking o f it, hot we can’t ex
pect the Captain to do everything
at ODce, as he has so much busi
ness to see after, and has no time
for building halls. The Captain is
ranching this year, as well as saw
milling. H e has Messrs Lam b and
Alexander running the ranch.
They have grubbed about forty
acres o f bottom land, and are plow
ing some for barley.
The Katie Cook made a trip to
the bay last week to get the ma
chinery for the new steamer. W e
d o not know yet what the name o f
the new steamer will be, but En
gineer Morgan will give it a good
one, I assure you.
Parkersburg’s boys anticipate
organizing a base ball club.
Rum or says, the Coquille will
have another cannery this year.
W e only hope it will be true.
