The artist making the "cut" intended having Prim and Kelly ou their knees, the mule playing a lively tune with his heels upon the broadest portions of their bodies, but betore he could complete the work of engraving Prim and Kelly were so far behind the artist could not take tneir pictures. They were out of the field, and over the fence, and the mule is still kicking. And isn't the mule a splendid animal? Fink aud Gazley ami their oily tougued and pale-lacel Repullican allies were anxious to lift Prim's neth er garment that they might place tneir lips iu close proximity to Prim's per son. Well, they pueceeded. It would be a waste cf paper and ink to write all their names the names of those Republicans who would have kissed Prim's; but they are all known and will be remembered, and th mule lifted the tails of Kelly and Prim to that extent that every one of the trai torous crowd cannot now grumble be cause they have not a fair sltow. That mule's kicking was a mighty power in the campaigu. Its force was felt in Grant county, and the News of Can yon City made a gallant right In ita behalf. Its friends, in the person of Dr. Howard aud Mr. Clark and others, took good care of it, and the democrat ic county of Grant gave Lord, Waldo aud Watson heavy maj rities. The inule'woulu have kicked in favor of John Burnett; but as we have said be fore, Mr. Burnett was for the first time caught in bad company, and was defeated. Mr. Burnett is a lawyer; i unlike Prim, he can make his living j y practicing hiB profession, and he did not seek the office or ask for a free living at public expense because bis braiu aud his education were not suffi cient to give him a living. A flue lawyer and a gentlemau, John Bur nettcanlive without oilice;but had the democratic party nominated all men like him, to-day the party would not be weeptng in sackcloth aud ashes over an overwhelming defeat, nor would it be knocking sadly at the gates which open to tiie valley of des pair. John Burnett could not p :k even upon hi shoulders' the heavy weight made by the other candidates for judges. The public verdict was against Thayer, against Prim and Kelly, agaiuat a suprems court t"at could not be trusted, against the parly that could ami did ut such men forward for office. Unfortunately John Buruelt was 011 that ticket, and the people in their histe to end Prim and Kelly did not take time to discriminate between the ood and bad. John Burnett would have made a first-cUn supreme judge; but the people thought no one should be trust ed who was in the company of Prim and Kelly! But Hoi. and his mul dtserve a great deal of credit. Sol. was char-red, before election, with attempting to run the politics of the State Well, the returns show that he bus accoui plished bis purpose. He has made the fight of a skillful general, aud he has won his battle. But that battle was not made in the interest of any cor rupt man; altogether to the contrary he worked that the courts might be pretdded over by pure men, and thut if he had cause for an appeal to law simple justice would be done him. His mole kicked only that he migbt not be robbed of the property he bad worked years to accumulate through Prim and Kelly's derisions u 11 war rantedly in the sight of Truth, aud uot justified by the statutes. And Hon. Sidney Dell deserves great credit for the result that has come with the election. He wa ma litrned, lied about and abused, yet he was more th in a match ' for hU ene mien. His fine education in the law made him immeasurably greater than the supreme court and all the judges and all their friends, his pen was mightier thah the filth of his oppo I nents, and he is to day vindicated aud j bis worth established. The people of Oregon should applaud biiu for his "nerve'' in the attack he made, and give him due credit for for his bravery aud his brain. Personally we give Mr. Dell credit. While others worked faithfully, it iuuh'. be xitid that Mr Dell was the Wellington at the su pieme judges Waterloo. ! W. R. W'iliis was also a general. Talk of him as you please, but in the fightKitiewdidmoretlian.be. But. candidly, how do you like Sol's mule ?

He Leaps into Eternity, and of His Own Accord. Solves the Problem of the Hereafter. Last Tuesday night Joseph Ackley, a painter, aged 50 years, committed suicide at Oakland. The act was delib erate and premeditated. He had been drinking for some time to excess; everyone refused him more. He said there was but little use in living long er, and put chafed a pocket-knife. With this knife he went t the old foundry building and there locked himself in. 'With the knife he cut a gash in the wrist of one of his arms, and in the same arm, near the shoul der, he severed an artery, and quietly bled to death. The body was discov ered next day, and from the peaceful expression upon the dead man's face, and the position of his hands, it is thought poor Joe's soul left the hotly without a struggle. It is said that he appeared as if he had simply go:ie to sleep. ' Joe died poor. Drink got the better of him. Sixteen years ago, when quite a boy, we knew Joe Ackley in Vfalla, Walla. He was then the only painter in that town, and he was mak ing money "hand over-fist," as the expression goes. But, like too many in this world, Joe could not stand prosperity. He then had aMiandsnme and accomplished lady for a wife. She is now living in Jackson county, again married But poor Joe! Drink made him forget his wife and - himself. Through its influence life to him was rendered miserable, aud finally he put an end to an existence that became a failure the moment he commenced drioking. But let us give poor Joe Ackley full credit. His only fault wis titat he drank too much. Under his rough shirt there once throbbed a warm and generous heart that caused the man to ever divide with a friend. When so ber he was a man, when otherwise he as not worse tbati other men more succ8sful in life, whom we have of ten seen respectably (?) druuk ! Per haps, had the Diviniiy shaped his ends different, and he had been while liv ing surrounded by prominent public relatives, the eoroner's jury would huve reported poor Joe's detith as resulting from heart disease. The jury would not have in that event told an untruth. Trace them up and three-fourths of the suicide-! are caused by heart ache, and the madden ing thought experienced by nearly every man when tie takes. a retrospective view of his life and sighs over "What might have been."

Matthew Loekhead Frozen to Death We have learned from Mr. Wm. M. Dlllard that it is about a foregone son elusion that Matthew Loekhead per ished in the mountains between Tip ton's mill aud the waters of Steam boat last winter. Mr- Loekhead was Mr. Dillard's partner in the mines discovered by the latter ou one of the tributaries of Steamboat, and left Tip ton's logging camp on the IStU of De cember !at. He was seen, at several places the next day. but was last spo ken to at tne house of a half-breed, who prepared a meal for him before be crossed the mountains, fcuow was then falling, but Loekhead would go ou, as he intended to make snow shoe's in the mountains. " Time passed ou. Those at Tipton's mill supposed that Lock wood was with Dillard, and the latter thought he was at Tiplon's. It was only until last week when he, Dillard, came to Tipton's, that it ivas discovered Loekhead had never reached the mines. There is no rea son to believe anythiug else than that iu the stonn aud cold of the 19th of December, poor Lucitheud became first bewildered aud finally froze to death. A p:rty was organized, includ ing Wm Tipton aud Air. DiH.ird, aud started out in search of the remains of the unfortunate Loekhead, Friday. It is thought by Mr. Dillard the romain will be found in the snow ou the moi.n tains, where Loekhead probably, stopped to make his snow shoes. If this conjecture proves to be true, the remains will tie well preserved, since there is yet considerable snow on the mountains; in that event, the body will be buried near this city. Should decomposition have reudured the body uuflt for transportation, it will bo buried wLere found. Mr. Loekhead was an old tnou'itaiu eer aud miner. He was born in Maine, and iu early life became a backwoods man. We know nothing of hi age at the time of his death, nothing of his relatives nothing more than that he was a good man aud beloved by all his friends. OAKLAND ITEMS. Haying has begun in this vicinity There are a few loads of ltirabar on proposed location of tha new academy. The people of Oakland are working the roads.

The F.nipJffs Elizabeth of Austria and Queen of Hungary made a public speech in Pcsth, tha other day, in aid of the red cross society, for the support of soldiers' widows, orphans and mothers. She is mentioned as look ing superb "thequoenllest of queens' iu a long, tight-fittiug black robe, trimmed with Bordeaux velvet, and a Gainsborough bat tiimmed with heavy feathers." Says the New York Tribune: "Tam many rises to remark to Hendricks that he is politically dead, and that 'he is too much of a remiuiecence to be revived and brought forward as the democratic candidate.'

A SIX MILL TAX. From the earliest history of man he lias ever been aspiring to "get up a little higher," and now a six mill tax for the benefit of education is being discussed throughout this county, and evpry citizen and taxpayer who loves justice, who loves to see the cause of education advance, ill give it a hearty support. We arpleased to know, right here, that our present nominees for i he legislature are es pecially in favor of this tax, and we hope tbat when tboy shall fcave fin ished, without regard it j we may have the pleasure of knowing that an additional tax of six mills has been contributed to our present sctiooi luufis. ju oraer 10 nave suc cessful schools throughout the county teachers must be compensated for their labor, in order that the youth of our land be educated, we must have sufficient school funds for nliich this education is obtained, iu order that tin poor of our laud may be educated we must have a greater amount of school fuud; as there are patrons of schools in every district from which we have beaid who send their child ren to school only while tne public money lasts, thereby robbiug them of that which is due them from the pub lic, of that which justly belongs to them. A quotation from oue of Douglas county's best citizens would not bo out of place. Daring our pre sent sii erintendent's canvass through this county, thi? Veteran went to his district schoolhouse to listen to Prof. Heard deliver a lecture, to the school, and also speak of a six mill tax After the professor had done, he arose and said: "Professor,' you are wrong; it thould be a nine mill tax '' The ar gument produced by some, that we ure already taxed to death, will not "pan." If we have a sufficient sc'iiol fund and educate the rising genera tion, we will have ligiiter tax; we wilt have fewer cases of crime, be cause ignorauee breeds eriuie. Lei your attention be directed to the State prison, for a timei and we think you will see that the inmates thereof ap pear snd converse as if schools and the benefits therefrom were not extant iu our laud. Now, in condition, let us say. give to the people of Oregon a six null tax. W ith an additional tax of ' wiIi" everv district iu the State would be enabled not only to employ compefeut leicbers, but also Bucees fui ic-acneo; a better act could not pass the halls of our legislature than a six mill tax with a compulsory law. Tex. Ed. Indhependekt: Two weeks have elapsed since last f wrote you in behalf of the Douglas county schools. My first visit this time wus to d.s trict No. 3, which includes Elk head Valley. R J.

This it; Mr. Hanna's first school and I am pleaaed to say that he is very successful as a School teacher. I saw several of the patrons, and every one spoke in the highest terms of their teacher. A gentlemau with Horace's energy aud good common sense will always suc ceed iu the school room. From dis trict 2 and 4, I came to district No. 26. Mr A. W. Williams is teaching in this district. Mr. W. labors earnest ly fer the advancement of his pupils. The pupils were quite timid and con sequently farsfetcbed. The discipline is very good and Mr. Williams de serves much credit -for his manly ef forts in securing an education. Ho is a native of Tennessee, and like the majority of his noble couulrymen, possesses the will and energy that are so essential to the schoolroom. While in this district I visited the hospitable family of H. C. Underwood. Mr. U. is a practical granger and a good Jiver. He has a very fine orchard which yields an abuudance of fruit of great variety. Many of the citizens of this district favor a four mill tax for school purposes, lhe next district Is N. 27. The schoolroom is near the cinnabar mines. Mr. Wimberiy is teacher. Hi) enrollment is about forty. His school was quiet and very orderly. All of the patrons speak a good word for Mr. W. He is evidently the right teacher in the right place. From district No. 27 I adjourned to that of 24, now known as the Fair Oaks district. Mr. B. D. Smith is teaching at this place. His number registered Is about forty with a good average attendance. Mr Smith is oue of the best teacerv la the couuty and gets, as he justly tlcservs. th entire support of the district, jf all of our teachers were as well qualified as B D. Smith, our common schools would be good Indeed. May success ever at tend bis htuduMe efforts in the school room, aud .may district No. 24 give Mi. rt. employment for many years to Co rue. . - - . - - , From Deer creek we journeyed to south Oeer creek- Mr Parker teaches in this district. He has a small school, but the children were well be haved and seemed to take an interest in their studies. Mr. Parker bad no chalk, snd of course a school room ni ght as well be 'minus of a black board as to be without ojalk. Let the trustees see that tbe teachers are .11 . . . 1 1 ...

Mr. Smith is well prepared for entertaining his friends. He has a very genial family and a porson can't help enjoying a visit at his house.

At hiB house everything Is done that can be done to make his visitors pleasant Mr. B. and I will not fail in paying Mr. S. another visit, and that too before a great while.
