TO WEEKLY fclBSfRIBERS.
All tlxtse knowing themselves in
debted lor the Statesman are request
ed to act promptly on that knowledge
and remit the amount due, as news
per8 are institutions that deserve
more credit thin they get, but cannot
give credit as a regular thing and keep
alive at it. We want wliat is due us
as soon us convenient.
TO AGENTS.
If you have cash on hand for us
please remit and much oblige, yours
truly.
To the Republicans of Marion
County.
I present my name, to the Republi
cans of Marion oounty as a Candidate
lor nomination as County Clerk.
I have secured the success of tlie
Statesman heretofore by performing
very arduous personal service myself,
which I am no longer able to render
and my condition of health causes an
increase in expense which tlie business
cannot afford. Few persons are aware
of tlie great labor and expense attend
ing tlie publication of a daily and
weekly newspaper, labors which ex
tend throtitrh the day and far into the
night.
If the course of the Statesman un
der my control Is approved, as a gen
erous patronage cheerfully extended
leads me to hope, the Republican jr
ty may perhaps feel some interest in
seeing it placed on an independent
footing.
Tlie duties of the Clerkship, in
which I have experience, will be easier
than my -present duties, and I could
employ a competent deputy and still
write lcadiug articles for my iwper,
without looking to it for support, and
the income of the offlee, if placed at
my disposal, shall be used to make the
Statesman more valuable to the peo
ple. My only ambition is to build up
here a journal which the people sliall
literally feel to l)e their own and iden
tified with their interests. I have no
ambition for office, save as a present
aid to tliat end and tliat I may be more
able to do the Republican party ser
vice in the future.
Whatever your decision may be I
shall continue to fight for the suprem
acy of Republican principles while I
live. S. A. Clarke.
Tlie Primaries.
Next Saturday is set for the Repub
lican precinct meetings to be held
throughout Marion county, and as
this is the last issue before the Weekly
goes to press, we would improve the
opportunity to urge upon tne nepuon
cans throughout tlie county the neces
sity of attending the primaries in full
force so as to have the feeling of the
people fully represented at the com
mencemeiit of the campaijm. We
want a proper and satisfactory organi
zation, an earnest contest, and then
the victory will be sure. Few appre
elate how- important it is tliat tlie pre
cinct meetings sliould be numerously
attended, and we hope our suggestions
will be well received ami generally
acted upon.

Haku Hit. a Quaker and :i Bap

count of hla religious pmfoidou. At
' length they came to a lien where the
body of a malefactor, lately executed,
was hanging In chains on a gibbet!

Temperance.
Foremast among the great moral
efforts of the day U the cause of Tem
perance, which seeks to rescue those
enslaved by appetite and to educate
the young to understand and shun- the
dangers of Intemperance. Men may
differ as to what means can be best
improved to save the tempted and res
cue threatened homes from absolute
destruction and ruin, but none can
deny the fact that the evil exists aud
tliat some remedy Is needed. Even
the liquor seller Is often a temperance
lecturer, in his way, for he remon
strates occasionally with the man who
ceases to be a moderate drinker to be
come a drunkard. He may believe, or
assert, tliat human independence
consists in being able to drink with
discretion, if tliat i3 possible, but he
knows wliat evils follow when men
drink with indiscretion. The drunk
ard is nowliere honored, and that of
Itself is a temperance argument that
should carry great weight.
Since becoming a resident of this
city, in 1852, we liave seen many
wrecked hopes follow the use of intox
icating liquors. Men brave and proud,
possessing ability and influence, re
spected and possessing happy homes
liave occasionally gone down the
stream, and it has continually been
thronged with the promiscuous crowd
of those who forget manhood and even
honesty in love of drink, aud spend
tbeir lives to acquire means to feed an
ignoble aud destructive appetite.
Every vice, besides, is nourished and
fed by intemperance. Both the game
ster and the prostitute depend upon it
as allies In their calling. It would
seem, then, that to establish temper
ance is to strike at the root of the most
gigantic evils that alllict society and
also to encourage every useful art and
furnish labors tor every industry by
making useful members of society of
the millions lost to themselves, to their
friends and to society by the cursed
habit of intemperance.
Reforms are proverbially impracti
cable because they seek to directly es
tablish a code of morals or ethics based
on the most advanced ideas of right.
They are impatient of evil and seek its
abolition or its prohibition when the
world is not educated to grant it. The
true way to promote reforms is to ed
ucate tlie masses. Legislation is
scarcely necessary when correct moral
sentiment prevails, and it cannot be
attained until it does become a major
ity. But even with intemperance
only as an exception to the rule, legis
lation would be as necessary to pre
vent it as to prevent such other excep
tional crimes as theft and murder. We
look upon the organization of the State
Temperance Alliance as a valuable
means of education by agitating and
discussing the subject and spreading
among tlie people an interest in a
movement second to none in behalf of
suffering humanity.
Tlie resolutions passed by tlie Alli
ance at its late convention are in ad
vance of present public sentiment in
Oregon, but that does not detract from
their value and justice. A demand is
made tliat citizens over the are of
twenty-one in each precinct shall de
cide upon the applications for license,
which includes the ladies, and while
we hope to see such progress made in
the cause by the next Legislature that
the voters ot each community can de
cide the question lor themselves, we
hardly believe' tliat the Legislature
will extend the decision of the ques
tion to the arbitration of the ladies.
But for all that the women of Oregon
are vitally interested in that question
and for self-protection might be justly
entitled to aid tlie decision. We sliall
do well if we succeed in liaving it left
at first to the legal voters and may
hope for broader reforms to follow at
no distant day if we can accomplish
that as a commencement.
One of the most telling blows at
liquor selling or at least against the
evils which follow it will be to make
the liquor seller responsible for his
work and require good bonds as se
curity. There is great argument to be
urged hi favor ol that, and we hope
tliat as the plan has worked so bene
ficially where it has been established
our next Legislature will look favora
bly upon tliat idea.
The Convention iust adjourned has
been attended with nr.ich interest, and
while some criticism may be leveled
at it the best features remain para
mount and will be generally approved
by the true moral sentiment of our
State. The Alliance, in connection
with the Good Templar organization,
has a good work in hand and if it is
earnestly and judiciously urged we
may look for an educating idea to
spread through Oregon which sliall
prevail in time to secure the best aims
of the friends of Temperance.
Clackamas Bridgk Gone. About
11 o'clock last Sunday morning, the
Clackamas bridge on the public road,
tlie largest and most exjiensive bridge
in tlie county, took its departure for
Carts unknown. This was anticipated
y all who were familiar with the
condition of the structure. This
bridge was built ten years ago, and
List summer the Road Supervisor fin
the District examined it and found ihat
some of tlie lower tenons and braces
had rotted away, which required re
pairing. He made report to the Coun
ty Commissioners, and rccoin mended
tliat the bridge be immediately repair
ed before high water, which could then
have been done at small cost, and thus
saved from floating away. But the
Court paid no attention to tho recom
mendations of the Supervisor, and our
people are now compelled to travel by
one or the other of Ben. Holliday's
lines until another bridge is erected at
much expense to tlie county and lon;
aud vexatious delay. All this could
have been saved by mi outlay of not
more tlian $400 or $."00, if our Com
missioners had heeded the advh ol
the Supervisor, and have had the Inter
ests ot the county at heart more than
the thought of how l)et to promote
the interest of party managers. We
are informed that other parties, besides
tlie Supervisor, called the attention of
tlie Court to this matter, but all warn
ing went unheeded. If wliat we have
len informed is correct, there lias
been a criminal negligence on the part
of tlie County Court, and we call iqioii
the next Grand Jury to investigate tlie
subject for the benefit of an injured
K'ople. This wastlic most Important
idge In tlie county, and its loss can
not be replaced short of $4,000 or
(5,000. Such action should ijot go 1111
rcbtiked, and if tlicrc is any way to
punish the recreant members of the
Court it should be done. We slmll re
fer to this subject agaiii.-Ore0! City

The City and County.
From Saturday's Daily.
GREEK met Greek. At the Good Tem
plar's festival on Thursday eventng Mies
Carrie F. Young being called upon, made a
very pretty speech on Tern penance, which
was received with great applause and was
deservedly appreciated. She spoke of the
home Influence of woman and alluded to her
power in that sphere. She remarked that
sister Dunlway wouldn't agree with her 011
some things. That lady came in afterwards
and as some boys called for her she took the
rostrum and made, in reply to Mrs. Young, a
woman's rights speech. She was called to
order on tlie question, and being informed
that the question was Temperance said she
uuderxtood it, but proceeded wllh some more
of woman's rights. Tlie contrast Iwtwecn
her manner and Mrs. Young's win so marked
that It caused much comment not altogether
fevorable to Mrs. D. We suggest that If her
ladyship Is toapiiear In public continually
ami vehemently, with soch profuse gestures
and bodily gyrations, that he take off those
ear-rings, if they were an ordinary sized
pair they could be worn wit h less observation,
but as the wearer evidently wishes to atone
for lack of personal charms by profuse dis
play her ear-bobs are quite sizeable, and the
sudden and erratic movements of the head
which carries them, makes them rear and
plunge most fearfully.
Good Templar's Sociable. The largest
crowd tliat ever assembled in Salem, on the
occasion of a sociable, was ou last Thnralay
night at the Opera House. The affair was
gotten up by the mcmlwrs of Capital Lodge
and was pleasing in every particular. At an
early hour the crowd began to assemble, and
continued to increase until as Into as ten
o'clock, when It was estimated there were full
five hundred persons present. For all to ob
tain seats was impossible. Along the sides of
the vast hall was arranged a triple row or
seats, whk-h were all occupied, as well as a
vast array of twitches In tlie body of the room
wit ha moving body of promenader In the
aisles. The band was out In full force, and
the excellent music offered added greatly to
lhe fesiiriMeo ot iho evening. A uuartette,
'The Beautiful Ullls,"vas snug with great
acceptance by Messrs. Cook & (Jray, and
Misses Taylor and Ford. Mrs. Carrie F.
Young and Mrs. A. J. iMniiway favored tlie
assemblage with short addresses, of which
mention has been made elsewhere. The sup
per prepared by the ladies wn splendid.
L'pon the whole, the affair was a brilliant
succss, anil much creilu- Is due to the Commit

Correction. Iy a misprint in nor trs
terday's report of Mr. Knhjht'ii lecture, we
represented that a Inlure lecture miijlit !
exjiected on the "Lungs" of birds. The
word should have been Sings. There are
peculiarities In the bresithing apinratus of
binU tliat are interesting to the critical stu
dents of the science, but for the present Mr.
Knight will devote his attention to more gen
eral topics.
To WnoM it may CoNCKitN. As there
seems to be some misunderstanding about the
dance at the Opera House on the evening of
the 22d, Inst., I will state that the same took
place after the adjournment of the Festival of
the Good Templars, and as a Society they had
nothing to do with it.

A Ciiixa WF.unrso. Twenty years
ago this week the Oregon St'ttesmim,
then published at Oregon City, con
tained the following: "Married, at
the residence ofCnpt. Hirain Smith, in
Portland, Oregon Territory, Feb. 21,
1852, by llev. Mr. Lyman, Samuel A.
Clarke, Esq., to Miss Harriet T. Buck
ingham, both of Portland. Compli
ments of parties received." Friday
evening last being the twentieth anni
versary ot the da, another wedding
were celebrated, and the way we (local)
was remembered, makes us wish that
somebody's china wedding would liap
pen every day. Xuua-rons friends ot
the parties marched ou the hill where
their home is, took the premises by a
storm of pleasure and added a delight
ful memory to the lives of those they
visited. An elegant set of china was a
joint contribution from their many
friends. Those who imagine that the
pleasures of life are all for youth and
that old married folks cannot lie jolly,
could have been very easily disabused of
tliat idea. We blush to mention how
the sedate old folks played leap-frog
in the yard and made trilling excuses
go a great ways towards slight free
doms, "and if we are not mistaken, all
were exceedingly happy, save, per
liaps, our friend Elder Adams, of
whom the ladies were shy, on account
of his recent declaration in the State
Temperance Alliance, tliat he would
be willing "to embrace nil thesisters."
The instrumental music was particu
larly fine, but tlie lire shovel, the fami
ly alllrms, is missing, antl the great
American broiler was knocked into a
cocked hat in attempting to pass itself
tor n tambourine ; the dipper lost its
handle, and the broom-stick, after be
ing 'jumped.' put in a strange disap
pearance. Tlie party was in every
way highly pleasing to all present.
There are some episodes in life that
make the heart feel so glad and grate
ful that words liave not meaning
enough to relate them.

Fkigiitfcl Accident. Yesterday,
a lad about sixteen years of age, sou
of Mr. Frank Glover, while in the en
gine room of the ferry boat, had his
band caught in some of tho machinery
and literally crushed to pieces. Dr.
Carpenter was willed, who, with the
assistance ot Dr. Belt, performed the
necessary surgical operation by ampu
tating at the wrist joint. Tho oiiera
tion was skillfully performed and late
List evening the unfortunate lad was as
comfortable as could be expected.
This young man seems to be unusually
unfortunate, for it will Ik- remeniliered
that this uper chronicled the fact,
about two years ago, of his getting a
leg badly mashed in tlie gearing of a
sawmill. We hoMi that his life 111 the
future will lie void of such unhappy
incidents.
Almost a Fire. On Friday night
the residence of Mrs. Nichols caine
near being distroyed py fire. One of
her boys got up in the night with the
tooth aclie, lit a match and tlicn threw
it down on a table where other matches
were and got back to bed. The spark
ou the burned match must have Ignited
tlie other matches for after a while
Mrs. Nichols who slept on the other
side of the board partition in the ad
joining room, was waked by her foot
being uncomfortably warm and found
a hole burned through the partition
and the stand on the other side par
tially consumed. The boys slept
through the smoke and fire very
comfortably but it was fortunately dis
wvered in time to prevent disaster.

Probably Damaged. It was re
ported yesterday, that the late flood
had washed away a huge drift on tlie
Linn county side of the Santiam, op
posite the head of the W. W. Mfg.
Company's ditch, thus causing the riv
er to seek out a new channel. This
opinion was formed by a person who
took observations when the river was
at its highest, and therefore the report
cannot be considered as reliable.
AVhatever damages are sustained, re
pairs will be made before Mill Creek
gets too low to furnish the necessary
supply of water.

Turkey Shooting. Souie shootists
over in Yamhill have lately enjoyed
themselves at turkey shooting. . This
amusement is quite popular in certain
localities. A turkey (a small one gen
erally), is set up and for the trilling
sum of four bits, the shootist is allow
ed to shixtt at it once, off hand, at
seventy-five yards distant, or if he pre
fer he can go back titty yards further
and take a rest. If the shootist draws
blood the turkey is his meat, but if be
misses, which he generally does, then
for another four bitsj he or some other
man can try his Land. Sometimes
the llrst shot is a lucky one, but as a
general thing half a dozen or more
shots before the bird is touclied, and in
this manner it is not an unfreqnent oc
currence lor one gobble to bring his
owner five or six dollars. Those who
have tried it say that it is splendid
sport, still, turkeys gotten in this way
are purchased at a high price. They
say, too, that getting them in this way
gives one a peculiar relish lor turkeys.
Close of Term. The regular year
ly term of the Medical Dcitfirtnient of
Willamette University closes with
this week. Tlie examination of candi
dates for graduation began yesterday
morning and will continue to-d-iy, to
morrow anil Thursday. These exam
inations are rigid enough, perhaps
more so than in an- other medical
school, as each candidate for gradua
tion is required to pass a satisfactory
'examination in each chair. The Com
mencement Exercises will take place
at the chattel of tlie University oil
Monday evening at. 7 o'clock. An in
teresting programme has been arrang
ed, which will apiear in due time.
The Medical Society for the third Ju
dical District meets on next Monday
also, at 10 o'clock A. M.
From Y.vQUINA. Hon. Ben. Simp
son, who came over from Yaqtiiua a
few days since, tells us that the new
steamer Oneatta, of which mention
has already been made, made her trial
trip on tlie 10th inst. She made the
distance from her moorings at Pioneer,
to Xewjiort, a distance of four and a
half miles, in twenty-eight minutes
against a strong tide. She is a beauti
ful craft, double deck, high liet.weeti
decks, nice cabins, both for ladies and
gentlemen, and well arranged general
ly to. suit the traveling public. Per
sons seeking pleasure "by the seashore
will find themselves comfortably situ
ated when 011 board the Oneatta.
Spring. On Sunday last we were
made to think that the advent of Spring
was actually at hand. The clear sky
overhead, the genial sunshine, gentle
breezes, the unfolding of buds, the
fresh grass everywhere springing up,
we thought were surely heralds ol the
gladdest season of the year. We even
saw a Hour, a crocus we wouldn't
have known what it was had not a
fair young lady brought her knowledge
ot botany to our aid and from tlie
fact that tlie time for flowers was at
hand, we couldn't well help thinking
that Spring was somewhere around.
RoiuiKRY. Some daring fellow
made a very successful attempt ou last
Sunday morning about 4 o'clock, to
tap the tiil of the Belvedere saloon.
He climlicd on top of the building, re
moved a jiane of glass from the sky
window, and made fast a rope by
which he let himself down into the bar
room, lie took from tlie drawer its
contents only about $2 50 and in
his search for more, displaced several
articles, Init tailed to find the object of
his mission. He made his exit by
climbing the rope, which he had let
down for that purpose. The thief will
probably go uiiuiiipped of justice.
Leap Year Ball. That's just
what's the matter now. The ladies
Hying about iu making arrangements
for the Leap Year Ball, which they
propose to give at the Chemeketa
House on Thursday evening next.
We understand that the party is to be
gotten up strictly in the reverse order,
the ladies managing thea!iairthrniigh
out. It is a mutter of record that
what Salem ladies utt'-wjit to do, they
generally !'. We wish them abun
dant suo-ess in the attempt to assert
their rights and make good use ol
their privilege.
Penitentiary Convict. Hairy
Keithly, the famous strap gamist, was
brought up on the train yesterday by

was handed over by him to the tender

The Late Flood. The roaring
Santiam seems to have vented its fury
considerable of late. G. P. Terrell,
Esri., received a letter yesterday from
his friends residing ou the banks of
that classic stream, stating that the
river had found a new channel half a
mile to the south, and that Statensville
was " busted " thereby. The mill at
that place is the principal part of the
town, and its supply of water being so
suddenly shut on, has given it quite a
set back.
Display of Wagons. We called
yesterday at the Bowie Wagon Manu
factory, where we saw one hundred
wagons in process completion. As
soon as spring opens they will all make
their appearance in good style. The
Bowiu wagon has the name, deserved
ly too, of being the best iu the State,
and far superior to those of Eastern
make.
At the Depot. We are glad to
make the announcement that the trick
is clear of obstructions and that the
cars are again running regularly and
on time. The pay train, passenger
train, aud a freight train were all at
the depot yesterday morning, which
gave to the premises a business-like
appearance.
Select School. Miss Boise re
opened her select schoolat the Bennett
House yesterday morning. As a teach
er she Is well known, and her long ex
perience qualifies her for the position
she occupies. Parents wishing to give
their children the advantages of a select
school education should make use of
the present opportunity.
Police Court. Recorder Patterson
had one jierson brought before him
yesterday morning on a charge of
drunkenness. The case was disjiosed
of by imposing the usual fine of five
dollars and -costs.
On the River. The steamers Alice
and Shoo Fly put in an apieaniiiee

started for Corvallis and intermediate

Cruelty to Animals. The latest

man rode his horse down street, hitch
ed him where the mud was knee deep.
and allowed him to stand there for

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.
The Claims Presented by the Ameri
can Commissioner.
The following is a list of the claim
ants for damages from the piracies of
the Alabama and other Confederate
privateers. The statement conies from
I-fcivis Assistant Secretary of State of
the United States :
Claims stated by tlie American Com
missioners may Ik? classified as follows:
First the claims for direct losses grow
ing out of the destruction of vessels
and their cargoes by the insurgent
cruisers ; second, the national exH'ii
iliturcs in the pursuit of these cruisers;
third, the loss iu the transfer of the
American couiinerci.-il marine to the
British flag; fourth, th" enlianeed pay
ments of insurance ; lilt I k. the prolong
ation of the war and the addition of
a large sum to the cost of the war and
the suppression of the rchelliitn. No
summary in figures for the claim un
der either of these heads is presented
in the statement, but reference is made
to such of the papers presented in evi
dence as will enahle the tribunal to ar
rive at a just estimate. The statement
adds: To the amount tints shown
should be added interest upon the
claims to the day when the award is
payable by the terms of the treaty
namely, twelve months after the ii;ite
of the award. The usual legal rate of
inti-rest in the. city of Xew York is
seven per cent, iter annum. Income
of the States it is greater; in a lew of
them less. The United States make a
claim for interest at that nite. Tlie,
computation of interest should lie m.-uftt
from an average day to 1m; determined.
The United Suites suggest the 1st Ihv
of July. ISti:), as the niot equitable
day. Tlie statement sets forth in con
clusion the expediency of an award by
the tribunal of a gross sinn to he paid
by Great Britain to the I'nited States.
The statement itself is contained in
printed volume of 500 pages, aud for
lhe greater convenience of t he arbitra
tors it ha been translated Into French.
It is accompanied by seven printed vol
umes containing the documents, offi
cial correspondence and other evidence
011 which the United States rely, the
right being reserved to present liere
atler additional documents, corre
spondence aud evidence.

The following conversation, or collo
quy, occurred Iietwecti a 'cute New
York " perforator " in real estate,
traveling by pocket-compass in one of"
the very last sections opened in tlie
Government land region between Go
tham and Alaska. "His interlocutor
was a woman, standing in scanty but
airy raiment, at the door of a log
shanty ; to whom he thus addressed
himself : " Io you like to live here in
tlie woods, these ilUtant woods, so far
away from any other human li.-ibiia-tions?"
"Woods! like to live In the
woods!" she ccliocd and rejiealed ;
"bless your lawful sakes, you don't
call this woods, do ye? There are 110
bears, nor wolves, nor catamounts, nor
iu'wuciwot around here not within
20 miles ! Why. we've got bedsteads
iu this cabin ; we don't sleep in big
hollow logs as wo used to. The
stumps are out of the middle of the
road, most of 'em ; and bless you,
don't you see we've got some fences ?
Iook over there ! VVe raise our own
good-sized pork ; we lay our own eggs;
we have tame hens and roosters, ami
pumpkin pies, and twisted-necked
squashes, and appetizin' cookiu'.

A Newly Invented Rail Let
ters patent liave been taken out for a
new rail for railroads, which promises
to do away with the continual rattle
aud jar of raliroad travel. It is a con
tinual T rail for which tlie inventor
and those wlio have examined it claim
important advantages over any rail
now in use. The rail is in two sec
tions, the upper sections lapping over
the lower and fastened there by hori
zontal bolts. Between the sections is
India rubber packing, five-eights of an
inch in thickness. It is thought the
use of this rail will prove important in
many respects and be much cheaper in
the end than tliose now in nse. Tlie
upper section may be made either of
iron or steel, anu wnen worn out can
be Laid without disturbing the under
section. A great exjiense will be saved
iu relaying tlie track. The india rob
ber Kicking will give the car an easy
and almost noiseless motion, and pre
vent tlie sliarp concussions which so
frequently result iu the breaking of the
axles. The saving to rolling stock will
be an item of very great inqtortance,
and will commend the use of tlie im
provement to all companies that study
economy as well as safety.

In bovhood's days, when lioyhood's ways
Were law without amieal.

Each Utile game had its own name ;
There was no king or clown.

The right In law Is made the flaw,

The biased judge is but a drudge,
The rich man's ready clown,
Who sees no virtue In the law
To make hiin knuckle down.

To step o'er what is true ?

Ami wealth be high renown.

The world of wealth it nerves in stealth,
Nor heeds the poor man's frown.

To make it knuckle down.

The old settlers on the Santiam say tliat

then- Is no work to ho had, yet they have
never endeavored lo obtain any, nnd would
more than likely refuse a good job if it was
offered to them, unless they could receive
enormous wages for very little work. In
truth they belong ton class tliat do not like
to work, and who are eternally cursing the
country and the people lecaue they arc not

goes, there Is 110 place 011 the Pacific Coast

The following Items we take from the Ore
goniam
A few days since, a female passenger on
board the Dixie Thompson, who was tin her
way to Cape Disappointment to give her
husband a surprise visit, gave birth to a
Imunctngglrl. The incident of course created
much scnmtlon, as such incidents generally
do, among the lady's fellow passengers, and
It was suggested, discussed and agreed npou
hat the new comer the passenger not upon
ibe purser's list should be called, in honor
of the boat, Dixie Thompson yulnn. The
mother, who was no sickly, sentimental
thing, all nerves ami the like of that, took
the child In her arms when the boat arrived
tit Astoria, and walked up to the hotel. It is
safe to say that tho father, with such a
helpmeet as that will be able to make his way
In the world. If lie don't his wife will do It
Jor hi in.
Tlie trains on the Oregon aud California
tallruul will run a usual on and after to
day. There waa, hi fact, a down train and
an tip train yesterday, but whether they
went through without transfer anywhere, we
do not know. We are compelled, therefore,
lo acknowledge that our friend of the Bid
Irtin is a prophet, and a full-fledged one.

Yesterday a rash young man propounded
to us: "Why are the expenses of the Metro
politan Police like the town clock?" We
gave It op, when the daring fellow enlight
ened os thusly: "Because they ought to be
lighted up." The rash youth still lives to
gladden the hearts of his doting parents.
The passenger train left Kast Portland
yestenlay, at one o'clock, connecting at a
point between the Clackamas river and Ore
gon City. Tlie delay there in transferring
mails, express and iassengei-8,1)oth ways
delayed tlie down train several hours. The
train did not arrive at East Portland depot
until seven o'clock last evening, In conse
quence. As the river recedes, tho delay oc
casioned by the overflow below Oregon City
will be lessened.
From the JfuiMin ;
On Wednesday lasta young man arrived in
town and took lodglngsat the St. Charles ll.j
tel, w here he registered his name as C Moe,
and his residence at Cathlamet, W. T. Dur
ing the afternoon he visited tlie wholesale
drug store of Messrs. Hodge, Calef A Co.,
and pim-tiasod a small bill of goods, hut feel
ing unwell he proceeded to the hotel, and
went to his room, getting worse, he sent out
for a physician, and Dr. Watkins ami Itr.
Kellogg visited him. They found him in a
very precarious condition, and declared it
their belief that hecould not survive; and
dith look place on Krlilay afternoon at three
o'clock, llefore his death the young man
stated Dial his father mother and slxter re
sided at Cathlamet, and tliat he had left home
in good health, or rather, in as good health
asheusuall3" enjoyed. Coroner Dryer was
notiiled of the death of Moe, but as there
had been two physicians in attamlanco upon
him during his last illness, and they were en
abled to certify to the cause of his death, he
did not deem it necessary to hold an Inquest.
He, however took charge of the body and ef
fects of the deceased, ami will give it are
Stectuble burial, and communicate the sad
intelligence to the parents and relatives.

Hut be this as it may, the romance w hich is
now received Islictter, Insonietrespects. tlian
the blank mystery we liad at llr-t. This I:
the romance : John Clark, C-imillarly known
as "Johnny Clark," was some few years ago
a packer In I'laho. He was a bold, bud man.
and the Vigilantes marked him for llieirown
He was susjiected of being connected Willi,
and a leader of, a gang of road agenls. He
committed a murder at Idaho Cltv, ami '
arrested and cast intojail. While he remain
ed thus Implsoned, the road agenls were go
ing on badly and several murders were com
mitted by desjieradoes in various jvtrt s of the
Territory. lgi Unites were aroused to unus
ual wrath, and they commenced going for the
roughs anil suspected agents in the most de
cidedly lively style. John Clark lielng in jail
was a handy subject to practice on, and the
Vigilantes took him, tried, convicted and hung
him, in less thau two hours. The dead body
was then buried in a rude box. John Clark
had a sister, a respectable hidy residing some
where In California, who, hearing what had
been done toiler naughty brother, went to
Idaho, dug him u and hired a man named
Thomas tohring him down toOregon for shl
nient to California, where she purposed to
give hint Christian burial. Thomas did as he
wa hired to do; brought the body to I'ma
tlllii, where It was, as litis been heretofore
stated, shipped to this cltv. Before Its arri
val, however, the sister, who hail preceded
the corjise, left tlie city for her home In Cali
fornia, since when her brother noranv other
man has heard any word of her. The man
Thomas also departed to lands unknown, as
one emnon or the romance lias It, and lo

tlie Ooverument ".tays. In all the
range of country between tlie Rocky
Mountains and tlioM't.ssi-ippi, us high
up as British America, they receive
cattle from Texas. They arc driven
in immense droves through the Indian
country without molestation. As a
drove travels hut six or eight miles a
day wlien on a long journey, the cattle
improve and increase iu flesh w hen tlie
grass is good. Many cattle are driven
