ind the tar which he liad removed

these burglaries with only his
underclothing andj stockings on," so as
to lie able to plead that he had made a
mistake or was sleep-walking, if ar
rested. A further investigation shows
that he is one of a gang recently ar
rived, and that he has been driving
around with a milk wagon, ostensibly
tilled w ith cans of milk, in which the
plunder could lie packed and driven
right under the iiolieeinen's noses

Of Vice President. Wilson says, when
Colfax was announced as a candidate
for re-election, many prominent lie
publicans urged him (Wilson) to be
come n candidate for nomination.
After ascertaining the Vice President's
decision not to run again, he finally
yielded to the request of his friends,

After his return, and before the meet

from more than a do.en States assured
him anil the Kepublicaus that their
States were in favor of his nomination.
He concludes as follows: "The dec
laration of the Vict- President was to
me a surprise, and placed me in an
unpli-as.-int position. My first impulse
was to withdraw from the contest ; but
by the advice of some of the Ix-st Kc
pnblicans of the laud, east and west, I
leave the question to my personal and
political friends. Whatever may In-tin-
result. I shall lie content with
what I do for the unity and success of

been a defaulter and a receiver of

Godbe then' in the Mormon Church
was a inomlier. It Is further shown
that Jsrigliani l oung caused the re

Clinton as Jieing although dishorn
peculiarly fitted for hisollice. Godbe
is present "leader of the Mormon Ke

ultimately his aposfacy. I he exjiose

We sleep and. wake and sleep, but all things
move :
The mi Hies forward to his brother sun ;
The dark earth follows wheeled in her

And human things returning on themselves
Move onward, leading up the golden year.
Ah, though the times when some new thought
can bud
Are but a poets' te.tsons when they flower,
Yet seas dial dally gain upon the shore
Have ebb and flow conditioning their march.
And tlowand sure canes up the gulden year.
The wealth no more slia'.l rest in mounded

Ttiit sunt with freer light shall slowly melt
In many streams to fatten lower linids.
And light shall spread, and man lie Ukcr

Through all the seasons of the golden year.
Shall eagles not be eagles ? wren not wrens?
If all tlie world were tu'cou, what of that?
The wonder of I he eagle were the less.
But lie not less the eagle. Happy days.
Roll onward, leading up the golden years.
Fly, happy, happy sails and bear the Press :
Fly, happv with die mission of the Cross ;
hiiit laud to Intnl. and blowing heavenward.
W illi silks, mid lruils, and spices, clear of

But we trow old. Ah ! w hen shall all men's

lie each man's rule, and universal peace
Lie like a shaft ol light aore-w the laud.
And like a lane of beams atliwart the sea.
Through all the circles ofllie golden year.
The Insane Asylum.
A resident of East Portland sends
us the following concerning the Insane
Asylum :
The entire building is divided into
live distinct wards over each one of
which two wardens preside. These
wards seemed to consist of long lialls,
lined on both sides with bedrooms.
Tlie bedrooms were small, but plenty
large enough lor one lied, and ail ex
cept one or two, contained but one.
Tlie light and ventilation in all parts
of the house were good, particularly in
the bedrooms, there being at least one
window in each. Their furniture, as
might Ik" expected, consists only of the
bedstead and clothing; the wearing
apparel being left in the hall. The
doors to thee rooms stood open, to
give the air free passage, and each one
was furnished with a padlock ; these,
we were told, tire not locked at night,
only slipped through the staples.
One feature struck us particularly
throughout the house, this was the
great cleanliness that, everywhere a
pcared. not only of the house, but also
of the inmates ; this we think deserves
special attention, .and for ii, all who
are connected with the place, much
praise.
The patients were variously occu
pied, most of them however la-ing en
gaged in walking back and forth in
tlie nails or sitting ny tlie stoves kecji-
ing warm ; hen; another noticeable,
feature presented itself, this was the
lattice work surroundim: the stoves.
All the stoves were protected by an
iron lattice work, the holes in which
wen; not large enough to let oik
hand through.
I After visiting the patients and their
i rooms we took a look at the yard, the
I kitchen, tlx; bakery, the pump room.
! the grocery store, ic. !fcc. The yard
i is a larirc one. almost tilled with small
I lir trees, scattered among which are
swings, walks, tables, lienches, itc.
the whole surrounded by a high board
i fence. Hen tlie patients stay in the
slimmer, w hile in the winter they have
to stay in the house, excel it those who
! can work and who can lie trusted
! these, some seven or eight at present.
a man takes out, with him and tin y
chop wood, or do anything else that
presents itself. Indeed, much of the
work lu re is done by the inmates, for
there are only till ecu emiiloves hired,
and one can easily imagine what there
s to do in taking care of a family of
over one hundred and sixty. This
work, of course, does not hurt them,
unless they are overworked and this is
sea rely ever done.
Their oven is a brick one, made and
heated like auv other one, and con
sumes about a barrel of llour at a
baking, wliich takes place four or live
times a week.
Tla- building is supplied with water
from :i spring several hundred yards
distant, raised by :i pump into a res
ervoir higher than the house ; thus
furnishing fresh water constantly ready
for use wherever the pipes are laid.
The reservoir is fourteen feet sipiare
and four feet deep, having a capactty
of more than five thousand gallons.
At present there are one hundred
and sixty-seven patients in the Asylum,
and at the foreuoinjl rates, would cause

l.avj.
On the whole, we were very much
pleased with the visit ; the appearance
of everything indicates much system
and regularity in the arrangements
and reflects great credit both on Dr.
Haw thorne, the manager, and all the
employees.

Joanuin Miller, the "Poet of the

evening, in the Mercantile Library
Hall. We have seldom seen a better
audience in that building than the
assemblage that greeted Mr. Miller in
the heartiest manner on his appearance
on the platform. The lecturer, dressed
simply in black, with his long yellow
hair flowing on his shoulders, aiid his
hands in his pockets, paced up and

And in this sea you perceive a swarm

The dhdng place of Dr. Johnson,

I was introduced once to a celebrated
painter (titisfave Dure) in the Savage
Club. I could not understand a word
of his language nor he of mine, there
tore our greeting was more cordial
than intelligent. The waiter placed
wine lietwoen us. He addressed me
in French; 1 said. "N'n salie." He
then spoke (ieriuau ; I said. "Xokuin

Thanking the audience for their at
tention, the lecturer concluded one of
the most interesting lectures that has
ever lieen delivered ln-fore a Sin Fran
cisco audience. His enunciation had
the fault of lieing indistinct at times,
but his delivery was pleasant and alto
gether out ot the mouthing style of the
stenntvix'd lecturer. He wished to
excuse" himself lroin the promised
reading of a oeni. but the audience
wonld'iiot liave it. so he read the "Ari
zonian" from a volume of his own po
ems. The result of Mr. Miller's first
exerimei)t in the lecture-hall was em
