When Gains wasouce making a can
vas of our State tor Congress, lie used
to relate an amusing story of an old
hen that was trying to set on more
eggs than she could- cover. ."Old
.Speck" spread herself out as broadly
- as poiuie, but there- would be always
a n egg or so on each side which could
not be got under cover. So the whole
brood was spoilt because each in turn

much in the same condition as this oth
er old hen and fails to cover and suf
ficiently hatch out its bantlings. , They
charge ferociously that the former Sec
retary drew warrants when there was
no appropriation, and so did the present
Secretary until there came a judicial
, decision from a Republican Judge to
correct 'the" error.' It Is evident that
egg wont hatch and if it does the pres
ent Secretary will have the same sin
to answer for.
The Penitentiary had to go on and
hc ir y 'fo keeper the .institu
tion was for the Superintendent to
make it, in a measure, self supporting
by using tbe labor of convicts to ad
vantage and keeping the produce of
tl.it labor as part payment of running
expenses, lie had to assume some re
sponsibility In doing this, and did as
sume it, and by Judicious management
kr-pt the convicts safely, but those
'wlseacffi tae ar$cpvered that 11 wookl
have been better tint tbe convicts had
been let loose than that the strict letter
of the law had not been complied with.
The record of the last Legislature
shows that the success of the Lite Su
perintendent in making the Peniten
tiary in great part self-supporting.
made such an impression that they
gave the same power to tbe building
commission, of whom tlie present So
perintenrVat Is one, that they-severely
condemn blm for proving was both ju
dicious and profitable.
These two specimen spoilt ,pggs will
show that for all the caukle inade by
this high okl commission, the old hens
did not sufficiently spread themselves.

Tbe Convention.
Yesterday our city was a busy scene
of political canvassing and Intrigue,
there being an nnusual number of can
didates in Ae-field Tor the "various
offices. Tbe Convention was very
I fully attended and the prospect seemed
i exceeding uncertain as to the result,
until afternoon, wlien the balloting
commenced. The .'work proceeded
earnestly, attended with considerable
excitement, and some of the combina
tions were a trifle liicongnibtis but no
one can doubt tie qualifications and
efficiency of the nominees and having
our ticket in tlie field all we have to
do. is to pull off our coats and wade in
to fight for them. , We believe they
will give satisfaction to tlie people and
at the June election poll a much larger
vote than was ever given for any ticket
nominated in Marion county.

A Graduated Tax.
( A, Convention of Reformers lately
met at New York, Gerritt Smith being
. one of tlie number, and took into con
sideration all the evils of government
and of society, and came generally to
tbe couclosiotr' that tlw remedy most
convenient and proper to curtail those
evils would be a graduated tax. They
considered that great individual wealth
is a fountain of evil ind corruption,
aud while they realized that men are
so different in inclination as well as in
capacity that tbe equalizing of interests
must be impossible, they still proposed
to devise some remedy by which rich
men shall not become too rich nor poot
men to poor.
- Tlie remedy of a graduated tax will
commence at a small levy say half of
one per rant. on men worth from one
to five thousand dollars; a still greater
but. not excessive, tax on those worth
tea than ten tlamsand dollars, and
gradually increasing until the man
worth five millions shall be made to go
halves with the" government, ft was
claimed tliat this would prevent exces-
aHre riches lu any one individual,
make capital more active aud product
ive, and result In greater benefit to tbe
middle and working classes. ' , The idea
is not without ingenuity, and if once
in operation and accomplishing what
its advocates claim for it would bring
blessed times upon the people.
, -This is a practical aud progressive
' age, mod yet It is also fall of the most
nitra and Utopian schemes given to tbe
, world In the name , of Reform. , Tlmt
many of these schemes possess merit
is probable, and this one of taxing ex
1 ce3ive wealth out of existence will
present Itself forcibly to the minds of
.many who realize that capital la full of
encroachments and threatens to com -
sbine' to effect Its'oWTj aggrandizement. I
The '. difficulty will .be to educate the J
people up to the, Reformer's standard j
. and make tbem strong and firm enough
to resist both the encroachments of cap
ital and the corruption it works Iu leg-
, hJation. i v., v'f
in Theories which look well in print
and sound well from the rostrum, are
frequently Impracticable, and it will
never be easy to tax tlie clianccs and
boDcs all ' entertain of some time or
other being successful iu acquiring

he held the silver dollar before his

Letter from Monmouth.
Ed. Statesm an : Our village was
yesterday thrown into a fever of ex
citement by tlie discovery ot a bur
glary and the trace of the stolen prop
erty.
On last Saturday morning Mr. Lind
say after entering his store, in this
place, found that there had been some
goods stolen.,. It was not noised around
much and on Monday a little quiet
search was made and tlie goods found.
A mse was then planned by which to I
find out the guilty parties. The prem
ises were watched after dark by four
persons aud after remaining tlierc a
short time, two young men came, wlio
were recognized as Ab. Hcmbrec and
John Burnett, and attempted to re
move tlie goods to a more secure place.
They were assailed, or confronted, and
made to droD their prize, but succeed
ed In setting awav. They were, how
ever, arrested Tuesday morning, Hem-
bree In this place ana liurnett in uai-

at which about 300 persons were pres

leader) wealthy, and It Is very strange
that he, esi)ecially, should stoop to
such a degrading thing as breaking
into a store aud stealing thirty or forty
dollars' worth of zoods that were so
easily identified, but the only conclu
sion we can come at is uiac tney must
have hat! ' the bead for it.
This being tlie only case of the kind
ever perpetrated in this place, accounts
somewhat for the deep interest ieit, DUt
tlie age and respectability or tlie
parents, who are nearly heart-broken,
caused people to hope that tliey might
bring evidence oi their innocence, mit
inat was not toe case.

A Toon; Somnambulist.
' A lew days ago a gentleman and his
wife, one of our most respected citi
zens, alter tea concluded to make a
call upon a neighbor in another street,
some two blocks distant. Before leav
ing: the house the wife put her little
girl, aged about three rear to bed.
Tbe mother left a servant to watch
over the little sleeper, and departed.
The rain was foiling qnite fast, and
the wind blew coS and searching.
After tlie parents had gone ten or fif
teen mi mites, the servant went into tbe
basement on some errand, leaving the
child sleeping sweetly. On her return
to the lieu-room slie found tbe bed va
cant, aud the little sleeper gone. She
looked everywhere, but no trace of tbe
child could" be lound.Slie searched
the house from garrctt to cellar, with
lio better success.. The girl became
frightened, and started to alarm tlie
neighbors, and as she passed to tlie
front door, found it ajar. . Knowing
that it was securely closed a few min
utes before, Ihe thought came into her
mind tliat tlie child had gone into Il.e
street and she directed , ber steps
in that direction. By tlie dim
light of tlie street lamp she
. saw the chlliL winch slie soon
I reached, and wrapping lier iu a sliawl.
1 took ber back to tlie bouse. The child
was in us Dare leet, with no clothing
ou but a night dress. Tbe servant re
moved its wet garments aud again
placed it In bed, thinking all the time
tlie child was then awake, and tliat
she hod awakened from her sleep and
not finding any oue in the room had
started out to find ber mother. The
servant after putting tbe child in bed
and watching it till it was again asleep,
slipped down stairs to get some flan
neb iu which to wrap its little feet.
Siie was. not gone over miuutu or
two, eo her returning to tlie room
found the chikl gone a second time.
She at once weut to tbe front door,
which, she found again open, and
stepping- back to get an umbrella to
protect herself from tbe rain, heard
voices on the front eteps. . It was tlie
parents, tbe motlier bearing tbe little
somnambulist iu ber arms. The child
had got almost a block away from
borne, and was trudging along iu the
heavy rain, bare footed and in her
night-dress, when the parents, who
were returning nome, discovered some-
thing white, f them,, and w
on-
dered what it could be. Their sur
prise, on coming up to tlie child, can
be better imagined than described.
The motlier was almost overcome.
Tlie child, a delicate one, was taken
home and a 1 physician called, and
every thing done to care for the little
sleep-walker. New Have Register.

L TBI Beef Bcsinfss. Tbe people of
folk county allow bridges to get lit of repair
so that cattle get crippled thereby, whereup
on the Injured party brings salt for damages
which the county pays, and then claims the
'bones" of contention. All this actually
happened. A man was goincto mill a few
days ago,and in crossing the EUemlale bridge
the timbers gave way, and the man, wagon
and oxen went down with a crash.! These-
iincl showed that the wagon was knocked
Intojt cocked hat, or something of that kind,
one ox killed and tbe other badly mnulated.
This he considered no small matter, and as
the afhrcsaid bridge, the property of the conn
ty, had been sadly neglected, he saw no good
rcaion why the .wnnty should not pay such
sum as would iwer the los. AoconlliigW to
the court he went and presented bis claims,
which were a ljumcl by the court award
ing the damaged party tbe sum of M. This
was the eatlmalo placed upon the life of one
ox, together with the Usuries sustained by the
other. Ho thought the sum too trifling, but
wzL8 content with naif aloof, rather than none
at alL With his l0 In his pocket, be started
borne, with the Idea of curing up tbe Hot her
ox his back was broken and thus make the
dead one bring tbe amount paid as damages
sustained. But no, the County Cummlsskmers
decided tliat tlie crippled ox belonged to the
county, but the Court itself heM differently.
The Court didn't Want a broken-backed ex,
but the Commhstonera said - It mo and shall
belcng to the Court." Tbe Commissioners
gained the day, as tbey were two and tbe
tteurt was only one; so he It known that tbe
County Court ol Polk County now bolds In fee
oue ox with one broken back, which Is for
sale on reasonable terms.
CowKtrc at Albany. We see by tbe Al
bany papers that a concert will be given at the
M. K. Cnarch of that city on this evening, un
der charge of Prof. Rogers and lady, assisted
by Miss Ellen Chamberlain, Hiss Blanche
Gray and Mr. George Strong, all of whom are
of Salem. Our stork ol flattery has about
run out, and therelore cannot be accused of
violating that branch of etiquette when we
express the opinion that one of the best con
certs ever given In Albany will come o-thls
evening.
Taxidermy. Rev. P. 8. Knight has late
ly received as a present from abroad, a bald
eagle and a swan. These were alive when
sent, but the swan had been wounded and
did not live. The eagle is alive, much to his
rejrret, as he wants to nave him Anally stuffed
and keep him In his museum and not keep
stuffing him alive, which Is expensive. Mr.
Kuight intends to teach a class la taxidermy
and they will meet at Cabinet Hall on Satur
day afternoons. Tbe expense will not be
great and a number have already offered.
Xew Si'BCIMkks. Rev. Mr. Knight Is pre
paring some very nice specimens, both of
birds and animals, which will be plaoed In
Cabinet Hall as soon as finished. Among his
now specimens we noticed a swan whose
snowy whiteuess gave it great beauty. This
bird was captured a few days ago by the deck
hnnds on a steamer, between this place and
Oregon City. To see a swan hereabout Is an
occurrence very rare. II r. Knight has also a
very flue specimen of the deera a antlered
buck.
Fob Sax Fka-N-cmco. Mr. W. F. Bootbby,

for the stone work, to J. C. Joseph. Mr.
lloothby will not be gone very long and the
intention Is to prosecute Uie work actively as
early as possible.
Ot'T ok Lcck. Our friend, J. C. Brown,
concluded to get out of the way of the rail
road so he purchased tbe Baruum place,

In peace one of these days. Tbe last line rua

Concert. The advanced class m music,
under tbe leadership of Prof. Prentice, will
give a concert at Reed's tlpera House on

Duowxku. AVe learn from Mr.
Win- Ruble tliat just at noon yester
day, as he was crossing from tlie Polk
county side with his team, he saw a
canoe abreast of tlie wharf boat, in
which were two boys one of whom
was rowlnsr tin stream against a stiff
current while, the. other sat in the
stem. The waves made by the ferry
boat swept the canoe agaiu4the wharf
boat and probably threatened to upset
it. He saw one boy hanging to the
fender pole against which the canoe
swept and tlien tlie canoe and the loy
rowing were swept down stream and
around the stem of the wharf boat.
The boy hanging to tlie fender pole
soon let go awl fell into tlie river, but
he struck out and swam two-thirds of
the way towards the stern of the wharf
boat and then went nnoer water anu
Mr. Ruble did not see him again. By
this time the ferry boat was a hundred
and fifty yards off and could not ren
der assistance ana tnougn tne men on
kahouted to those ashore, they could
not make them understand what was
the matter as they could not see tlie
bovs in tlie boat. It seems tliat the
drowned lad was about fourteen years
of ace. and son of Mr. Frank Yocum
and was named Lonah Yocum. At
last accounts the body was not recov
ered. It was a sad sight to see tlie
motlier and sisters of the poor boy,
weeping lor his loss, and the family
nave tne symparuy ot many ineuus.

Auoit Sikewalks. In walking
vlown Comnicrcial street, ilow Front
street, the need of a good sidewalk to
wards the river is very evident, and
the query, " Why can t Evans nave a
sidewalk f " comes up with lorce. We
learn tkit tlie city council ordered a
walk to be built on tbe south side,
along Cnnuingliam's property, to cross
the ravine which is the chief impedi
ment there, but in consideration of
his intention to build largely there, In
aildition to hi wagon factory, immedi
ately, and that a sidewalk constructed
now would be a hinde ranee to tlie
work, the council has extended the
time in which tho sidewalk shall be
bnilt. So it seems that the construc
tion of tliat sidewalk U provided for.
and we concur with Hie council in
granting more time under the circum
stances, i

Concert at Albany. Tlie Musical
Concert given at Albany on last Sat
urday evening by Prof. L. L. Rogers
and lady assisted by Miss Ellen Cliam-
berlln, Miss Blanclie Gray and Mr.
Geo. Strong was a charming success.
We, local, took a "departure" on Sun
day afternoon and when the shades of I
evening came tumbling down, as did
the raiu also, we found ourself com
fortably situated among the good peo
ple of Albany, and that's how we come
to know so much about the aforesaid
concert. We learned while there that
tlie M. E. Church was crowded to
overflowing, and the rendition ot the
various solos, quartettes and choruses
was grand. Not caring to appear
invidious, we forbear making mention
of any of the singers in particular. We
are pleased to know tliat the Albany
people were so highly delighted over
tbe evening s entertainment.
A Business Opektsq. Our atten
tion is called by a practical workman
to the fact that Oregon purchases im
ported carriage and wagon bolts, which
are scarcely ever of superior quality,
while lie believes they could be manu
factured here to advantage, of best
quality of iron, and of sizes and styles
to suit our trade. He adduces many
reasons for Un belief, anu It requires
but J glance to show that tliere is an
oniri here ior stien a nianiiiacture
and tliat the demand, which is already
large, la steJdiJv increasing. We learn
tliat no great amount of cattal will be
necc!;iry, and ne huiem u aDuuuaiiiiy
(supplied wilh water power we suggest
that thi-t would le a good point for tlie
uiaiiiitiicture to be e-tuoustiec:. .
Etcetera Tlie weather lathe only
item we don't lutve to hunt up, and
we would be glad to learn anything
new of it, but it liolds to tbe game old
tune 6t more rain than shine.
Vegetation is coining up finely, and
pa-dires are already revived enougli
to insure plenty of grass for stock.-
The early buds and blossoms are com
ing out and soon tlie orchards will be
gin to nloom.
Now Is tlie time to procure your
fruit tre and trim your vines and also
to set out shade trees. Many persons
should employ some time and means
in planting out ornamental trees around
their premises, anu tne sooner tne Det-
ter.
Recorder's Cocrt. Tlie Record-1
er administered on a drunk yesterday,
Michael Bowen being the unfortunate.
He also had Ijelore him three l;tds con
victed of disorderly conduct, wlioe pa
rents paid Pi 00 each for the lesson
they received in favor of good behavior.
In case It does not answer, the next les
son will prove more effectual. We
suggest that such hoys sliould be kept
at home more and taught good behav
ior oy ua;ir own parents. , . .
Waqon Making. We. call atten
tion to tlie notice of Wm. England's
wagon factory. Ho has received a
large amount Of stock of superior qual-1
ity and Is already turning out some
very superior wagons. It is his inten-1
tlon to make a large number the coin-1
Ing season and he has a full number of
nanus empioyen. air. r.ugiana is wen
known as an old citizen and an excel
lent mechanic. His work compares
witn any maue in tne country.
Operation for Cataract. Yes-1
terday Dr. ' Wilson,' assisted by Dr. J.
W. Van Den Bergli, performed an op
eration for cataract, ou Mr. Goble, a
citizen of bt. Helens, who bad not
seen for several years out of that eye,
previous to the operation. We are in
formed that tbe operation was success
ful in restoring the sight of the dis
eased eye. and tliere is good reason to
oeiieve mat the cure is perfect and his
stgut oe permanently henentted.
vom;ejkx Ai-jiHiHT. e nave re
ceived a programme for a Concert to
lie given at the Opera House this eve
ning under tlie direction of Prof, i
Prentice. There will be a grand cho
rus of fifty voices, aud tlie selection of i
pieces la admirable. We insure an
excellent entertainment and suggest
tliat our vitizens can afford to give
their support and -encouragement to
sustain sucn excellent uonie talent.
Xot to Blame. No blame cau at
tach to tlie ferry boat for the drown
ing of young Yocum on Saturday. Mr.
Leabo desires us to state that the boat
was not so near as was stated in our I
item concerning it. We have heard
no blame expressed and Mr. Ruble
seemed to think that the persons on
tbe boat could not have rendered as-!
sistauice. . -: . .
PlASOSTcsED. Mr.H.Slnshlemer,
of Portland, a very excellent tuner of I
pianos, having bad long experience,
writes us tliat he will be here In Salem
on Wednesday on his return to Port
land from above, and will be ready to
tuno any Instruments in this city.
Those needing his services can leave
word at the book store of II. D. Boon j
and their wants will be attended to.
The Overland Store has a new half

forth that tbe proprietors have con
cluded to remain here permanently,
and wish to sell oft the stock on band
to make room tor new goods. ...
Chemeketa Hotel. The work of
refitting and completing this hotel lias
commenced, and it seems to be tbe in

: LIFE IXLTRAXCIU- ;
There are those who believe' thai mankind
Inconstantly degenurnUng, each generation
lieconiing more selfish lhau tlie preceillng one,
but tbe tacts seem to prove otherwise. Ma-
sonic. Old Fellows, Temperance ana ail oth
er benevolent societies were never so pros
perous as t v: lav. It is so with LU'o Insur
ance, while its blessingsa few years ago were
m-rcelv known today- millions of bereaved
wldowsami orphans throughout the lenetta
and tbreadib of the land are In comfort who.
but fur the provision 01 a me pouey maae
bv tlie fh'her and lnwlnnd when lu his health
and strength, would be thrown opon the cold
charities of the world. How a man having a
wile anu c hi Hire n depending ior tneir daily
bread upon his labors can refuse to insure bis
life, when from ii to 50 cents per week ac
cording to age will ray for a l.ouo policy, is a
nivntery. A man wi 1 1 Insure his house, furni
ture, ship, merctianiliHO, croji, anything the
loss til which will be a hardship to him In
dividually, then how can he refuse to Insure
his life, the loss of which will come with such
crushing weight upon bis helpless wife and
utile ones.
The F.mprre Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany of New York makes Its policies non
forfeitable, thus meeting tbe objection some
times urged against otlier companies, that an
Inability to continue the payments of premi
ises will entail a loss upon I be insured. It is
owing to this ami other exceedingly liberal
natures that the Empire owes us remarkable
success. Hon 8 F Chhadwlck, ewreiary of
State, Is the Manager of that company far
