THE WEST SHORE.
The current number of the West
S'tore'is accompanied by a large, tinted
supplement, Showing the famous Shos
hone Falls, of Snake river, a cataract
superior to Niagara iu many respects,
though carrying smaller volume of
water. These monthly supplements
will continue a feature of the maga
zine for 188H, and will make a valuable
collection of large and spirited engrav
ings of the most famous beetles of the
Pacific Northwest. The illustrations
of the number are devoted to the cities
of East Portland and Albina, and the
Quaker settlement "f Newberg, in the
Chehalem valley. The literary fea
tures are especially entertaining, con
sisting of stories, sketches, poetry, and
much valuable descriptive matter. In
the March number will a-. p?ar the
opeuing chapters of a highly interest
nig story of thegreat civil war, written
by James P. Shaw, whose service in
the array during the entire period of
the rebellion qualifies him to write en
tertainingly of the scenes he witnessed.
It is a romance of deep interest, as well
to the younger generation as to those
who participated in the stirring events
of that period. The following note
from a conspicuous writer of the Press
will instance to readers how much the
Went nShorc is praised :

Dear Sir : I spent this evening
looking over the magazine you were so

Mitt hew Louden Cnrothers was born
February 22, 1810, in Carlisle, Pennsyl

lawyer, and a man of wealth and Influ
ence, he hud every Advantage of society
and education. Of Rcotch-Irlsh' de

ness of purpose and upright honesty;
together with a gentleness and purity
of heart, which made him lieloved by
all who knew him. He wan a consci
entious and devout Chrlstaln ; though
he tnmle no public profession of faith
until he was about forty years of apre,
when he united with the Presbyterian
church, of which he has ever since been
a sincerj and faithful member ; having
at the same time, a broad and univers
al love for all vhristains and for hu
manity In general with a cheering
word of encouragement for all with
whom he came In contact. Ho had a
perfect understanding of Masonry, in
its highest sense, with pure ami exalt
ed principles, though he made little
pretention. Wing nearly all his life a
member of that organisation. Through
life, he acquired a thorough lyiow ledge
of the law ; though he never made It n
profession. A profound reader and
thinker, though unassuming in man
ners, his general knowledge was great.
In ls;5S, he was united In marriage to
Miss Elizabeth Wilson, also of Carlisle,
Pa. ; and, in 1840, removed to Hhelby
vllle, Missouri, where he engaged In
the mercantile business. In the midst
of success ami p"isperlty, came the ter
rible war of the relellion ; during
which, as a strong Union man, In a
state where feeling ran high, as It did,
most particularly, in the border states,
and even the warmest friends lieeame
the most bitter enemies, his position
was rendered exceedingly Irving. Be-

20. The bill has occupied mueh valua
ble time during three Congresses, and
and has gained no convert iu tlie Sen
ate, wing. A comparison of this last
voKj With that of two years ap shows
that the longer the measure ha la-en
thought of and talked of the weaker it
has grown. Every Senator who voted
against before, voted against It on this
last oooasHion, while some, including
'Senators, Kenna, Blackburn, Vortices
and Spootier, who voted were iu favor
of it two years ago, voted against it oil
Wednesday. It is believed by many
the bill will stand no chance of getting
safely through the House.
Senator Blair himself made tho clos
ing speech on his cherished measure,
and in it attacked the Jesuits for their
opposition to the common school sys
