HOT OH THE PBOGBA2I21E. r.i A SATURDAY NIGHT BATHING SCENE. amaSJSMM It is not exactly right to laugh at our fellows' misfortunes, and yet, like the wag who saw another squirming under J tne pangs of a jumping toothache, the thing wis so ludicrously comical that we had to laugn or Dust. a party oi jony chaps, in order to cool off after the sweltering heat of Saturday afternoon, hied to tho Monongahela River, just above the Smithficld street bridge, for an old-fashioned bath and.switn.. They went divested of all superfluous gear, and at once plunged into the inviting waters. The pioneer of the party yellea out, " My God, Frank but the bottom is muddy and sticky !" But in thev went, wading out as far as the depth rwouli permit, one, unfortunate wight .who was as hairy as Esau, stooping down and grasping haudfulls of the bottom 'deposits and tubbing it over his body Tho discovery was soon made that .ibe material was coal tar, the refuse of the gasworks, that had been dumped thera to bo got nd of. The whole party were black as Africans in certain spots, and their feet were thoroughly encased in the adhesive material- Bathing was eooo brought to an end, and as their bodies were so coated as to preclude Mhe possibility of donning their gar xnents, they took up their line oLmarch ' for the Merchants' Hotel, with noteren the dignity of a Georgia summer costume a shirt collar and a pair of spurs. Fortunately at that hour there were no ' peeping Johns" or prying members , of the Sorosis, to impede their sorrowful pace, and with their crumpled linen and outside duds" in baud, they made rapid time." Arrived at the Merchants' " a tub of water was speedily provided in the saloon, and, with a firkin of lard and box of soap, the scrubbing process . commenced. The tarry substance wan tenacious; and as the victims greased and scrubbed, washed and swore, the seeoe, as witnessed by an outsider, was ,om to make even a dog split his sides with laughter, and would hive furnished to a Hogarth or Cruik shank material ' for one of the most ridiculous sketches that ever employed their graphic and ready pencils. The next morning the whole party were as me-ancholly as if they had just witnessed the destruction of a still-boose sore from rubbing, and whether at table to enjoy the ordinary to, reap in the reading room, striving repast, or the benefit ol the cooling breeze, visions of the past night would rise up before them, and they emphaU ically declared that the odor of tar was in', everything around them. "We deal not now with the indus trial or economic view of the question, but'with the far broader and grandei one of its high political aspects. Lei us not by any means binder or prohibit the voluntary coining to this count r of all men who choose to add their la bor, their energies and their industry in aid of our own, No one ever com plained of the negro who cauio here ol r his own free will. From his so coniinp arose neither wrong nor danger to free dom or the perpetuity of free institu tions; but the negro, brought here as a commercial speculation, wrought ibi so great difficulties from which th country has so suffered " The above is from the masterbraii. itt Ben Butler. Does the Oregoniai endorse the doctrine ? and if it 3oe what will it say about the right of tin Chinamen to become citizens ? Will it . not admit that if those people com here for the purposes named by iButlo in the above extract, they ought to be made citizens for the purpose of pro tection to both person' and property, and if so will it still contend for the political heresy, that by virtue of their becoming citizens the ballot ought to pass into their -hands? Side by aide standi Bntfer and Morton. The former sayst "Let us not hinder by any means the voluntary coming to this country of all men who choose to iden tify themselves with us." The latter t says: "Universal citizenship and the Oregonian says, "that all citizens should have the ballot," and Williams " says, "put the ballot in the hands of theso ignorant hordes, and our party, yea our country is gone. What bar- xnony 1 Gentlemen, as you have pro grossed so rapidly, would itvnot be wise to stop and consult? SBMBBSMBBBJSWaBSBBBSHI XXAHEI27G A FOBTTXJIE. Samuel McFadden was a watchman in a bank. He was poor, but honest, and his life was without reproach. The trouble with him was; that he felt that frt ,was ; not; appreciated. His salary was only $4 a week, and when ho asked : to have It raised, the President, kthe - Cashier, and the Board of Directors jj'aredat him through ; their spectacles and frowned on him told him to go out and stop his insolenoe, when he knew business was dull and the bank could not meet its expenses now,, let alone lavish one dollar a week more upon such a miserable worm as Sam uel McFadden. And then Saml. McFad- den felt depressed and sad, and the haughty scorn of the President and Cashier cut him to the soul. He would often go into the side yard and bow his venerable twenty-four inch head and weep gallons and gallons of tears over his insignificance, and pray that no migt oe maac worthy ot the Uashier and the President's polite attention. One night a happy thought struck him; a gleam of light burst upon his soul, and gaziog down the dim vista of years with his eyes all blind with joyous tears, he saw himself riah hon ored, and respected. So Saml. McFad den fooled around and got a Jimmy, a monkey wrnch, a cross-cut saw, a cold chisel, a drill, and about a half a ton of gun powder and nitro-glycerioe, and all those things. Then in the dead of night he went to the fire proof safe, and, after working at it for a while,1 burst the door and brick into an immortal smash with such perfect success that there was not enough of that safe left to make a caret tack. Mr, McFadden then proceeded to load up with coupons, greenbacks, currency and specie, and to nail all the odd change that was lying anywhere, so that he pranced out of the bank with over one million dollars on him. He then retired to an uuassuming residence out of town, sent word to tho detectives where he was. A detective called on him next day with a soothing note from the Cashier. McFdden treated it with lofty scorn. Detectives called on him every day with humble notes from .the Prsidcnt, Cash ier and Board of Directors. At last the bank officers got up a magnificent private supper, tohich Mr. Mcradden was invited. He came, and, as the bank officers bowed down in the dust before him, he pondered Over the bitter past, and his soul was filled with wild exultation. ! Before he drove away in his carriage that nigth it was all fixed that Mr. McFadden was to keep half a million of that money and to be unmolested if he returned the other half. He fulfilled his contract like an honest man. but re fused, with haughty disdain, the offer of the Cash er to marry his daughter Mac is now honored and respected. Fie moves in purple and fine linen and other good clothes, and enjoys himsell first rate. And often now he take? his infant son on his knee and tells him of his early life, and instils holy princi pies into tho child's mind, and shows him how, by industry and perseverance, and frugality, and nitro-glycerioe, and monkey wrenches, and cross cut saws, and familiarity with the detective sys tem, even the poor may rise to afHucncc and respectapility. ; ..i -- A green academy student being re quired to write a composition in his re corse of study, commenced thus: "It i. rather di.Tictilt and pretty near impossi blc to communicate to others -those ideas whereof we ourselves are not pos sessed."
