ASTORIA. OREGON:
f. C. IKEIiAXD Editor.
SUNDAY Not. 25, 1877
tSflf we trere abundantly supplied with coin
-ice should not ask patrons to remit, but one of
-ihe very hardest things to do in this world, is to
run a printing office on "promises." Our busi
ness isall in small amounts, and it is about as
easy to pay one time as another, hence we trust
that our patrons will freely respond to our calls
,for the sums due us on account.
'Sheridan's Report.
Alluding to Gen. Sheridan's re
port, and the army, a synopsis of
which has been published, tln Aha
says: it gives a verv clear idea of
the difficulties under which our lit
tle military force and Us officers
have laboied in their efforts to per
rforni the ddties 'devolved upon
itbetn by the indian wars, and the
troubles along the Rio Grande, in
'Texas. Without alluding here par
ticularly to the Sioux war, in which
-so many of our brave soldiers and
their accomplished officers were
slaughtered; the incidents resulting
from the outbreak of the Nez Per-
ueu uuuer uoreDii, are sucn as
should satisfy a rational and honest
legislator that our arm' has already
been reduced by law, and more by
other causes desertion, sickles
and deaths lo a force not ade
quate to the performance of duties
not devolving upon them. The
public know that when Chief Jo.
seph burst forth upon his raid or
purpose to fight his way through
the country ai)d soin Sitiiusr Bull
to vanaaa, as has been charged was
- ' . i
m& unui, a not, original, purpose,
he had not over:35(i warriors, some
accounts make it considerably less.
Yet willi this .force, hindered aud
impeded by the .wives and children
oi hi warrior, and all their little
amount of goods, be, with his small
force, gave our pursuing soldiery a
chase of three or four thousand
miles, fought them on various oc
casions and kept the field for
months, despite all our efforts to
subdue them.
Between Oregon and Montana
for he travelled to aud fro, turning
and doubling like a fox sorely
pressed by the hounds, met by
turns by Howard, and Gibbons, and
Elites, and fighting each and all of
them m succession, and killing ac
cording to -General Howard's state
ment, 111 men during Ike cam
paignlie was forced at Sast to
surrender only because his animals
and amunition had given out. To
secure tbia hard-earned triumph
our Government had to gather
from distaut camps, and forts thou
sands of miles away, our skeleton
regiments and companies, some of
them Having a roll of from fifteet
to twenty-live men fit for duty. A
decent military force should have
stopped Joseph's career in one
third the time, and wi:h but -a
small part of the loss of brave iaen
which the campaign cost. Such
an altogether inadequate force as
the campaign had to be made with,
was a costly experiment lo the gov
ernment , and was a great wrong
upon the officers and men who were
made, because of their insufficient
force, to toil and suffer, and many
of them lose their lives in the' con
test. Gen. Sheridan's report ought
to let light into the minds ot some
of our Congressmen, and perhaps
has done so. It is seen that the
proposition to cut the army down
to 20,000 men has failed, a change
of opinion having evidently taken
place. There are other sources of
expenditures much more deserving
of reduction than is the army of the
Omted States.
A Remedy for Divorce.
Marry in your own religion.
Never both be angry at once.
Never taunt with a past mistake.
Let a kiss be a prelude of a re
biike. Let self-abnegation be the habit
of both.
"I forgot" is never an accepta
ble excuse.
Never allow a request to be re
peated. A good wife is the
earth iv blessing.

Marry lulo a family which

ISever make a remark at the ex
panse of the other.
Give your warmest sympathies
for each other's trials.
Never talk at nc another, tither
alone or in companj.
If one is angry, let the other
part the lips only for a kiss.
Let each strive to yield oftenest
to the wishes of the other.
Never seak loud to one another
unless the bouse is on tire.
Marry into different blood and
temperament from your own.
Always leave home with loving
words, for they may be the last.
Never deceive," for the heart,
once misled, can never trust wholly
again.
Never find fault unless it is per.
fectly certain a fault has been com
mitted. It is the mother who moulds the
character and fixes the destiny of
the child.
Let all your mutual accommo
dations be spontaneous, whole-soul-ed
and free as air.
A hesitating or gruni yielding to
the wishes ot the other always
grates upon a loving heart.
CoumiU one another m all that
comes within the experience, ob

Never reiiect on a patt action

To Borrowers. Do you live in
Oregon and borrow and read thij? paper?
If you do, do you think it is right? If
you like to read it, then is no reason why
3'ou thould not pay for it, and thus aid a
creditable enterprise. Juat imagine that
an were aoing as you are now doing at
this very moment reading a borrowed
paper bow long would there be Eucha
thing us a newpaper office? If 30 u are
too poor to pay for it, then we have nothing
to saj ; but that clats are very tcaree in this
country. A man who would read his
neighbor's paper week after week just
because it don't cost him a cent, would
