INQRATITVJJE. The person that made the proverb that "republics' 'are ungrateful" did not cover the entire ground. All gov ernments are ungratelui, aim all peo- !oqually ungrateful. . ThtO.rof P.us- sia freed forty millions of human be ings from slavery, and . died by tho hand of an aasacsin. Lincoln, like Wllberforce, ascended iuto lieuveu with ,the shackles of five millions of slaves in i j . i i .. ...t.i ... . i... ma uumis, uia rtti iuiv unii tunni uy the murderer's bullet. Iom Pedro .made nearly three millions of slaves - freemen and lost his kingdom through their acts. The history of the world has on. every page a lesson of heartless ;aod criminal ingratitude. Columbus gave to mankind a rtew world and died in nhaina ' Rnhnrr. TVTnrri fnllirhr, ihu financial battles of the revolution and - won them. He contributed his private fortune to the cause of freedom, and j spent the last years of his life In prison for debt'. Fate i irontea1$ humanity ungrateful. Wherefore, is better that a man deserve not well of hia fel low man, for the iron is sharp for the ; souls of the upright and the generous. Wherefore, again, it is plainly prefer able to gather in the shekels, no 'matter how, than to do generous deeds or at tempt to benefit your fellow man. Unearned increment, and lots of it, is he only earthly thing aboMeithe reach ,of ingratitude AN APPRENTICE. Mrs. Lease, the Kansas populist, cli'ims to be a Mason and says hut she, .like "Tom of Coventry," neeped. Sr.e ;adds that she hag given her husband 1 II 3 i ,1 J . 1. . i l. ..J signs anu portents, snu itiat tie ad mits that "she knows something about Masonry." We believe the good lady is sincere, and that whiie she is not a MnaJer Mason, nnr ninvhnn ('osrinwi nt , of the- mysteries of Fellow Craft, that she really is acquainted with the secret work appertaining to the first degree. NOT THIS YE A. 11. We have frequently been asked by Dalles citizens If we'uus down this way intended to make another attempt to .divide Wasco county and create Cas . cade county. We cannot, answer for .everybody, but feel justified in uayiug that no such effort will be made. The .establishing of the Cascade Forest Ite- HprvA nwined an rrmc.h . ferrif.opv ihrtf. it. .does not leave enough outside to make ttc ftrrKf n Tliam In .lu i I . , P Mi'.t ... ,erty and plenty of acreage, but tlie average legislator, could not be con vinced of that fact until our, assessment roll gets bigger. Cascade county will not be in the political fight this year, hence axes ground for Hood Itiver can didates, regardless of . politics or pre vious condition of political servitude, .can be laid away for yat another two years. ' ' ' . Fish and Game. It is to be hoped that when the next legislature metts the first bill passed will be to repeal each and every one of the innumerable acts now in the books .concerning the protection of fish and ;game. A Philadelphia lawyer, assist ed by a Scappoose justice of the peace, .couldn't, to save his life, tell what the present game laws are. When the .slate is cleaned, then leta brief, sensi ble act be passed-defining the close sea sons, providing the punishment and .making it the duty of every nonstable and peace officer to enforce the law. jama protection it true to name, pro tecting nothing, not even the pro tector, MeGuire. The laws are a delu-eio-i and a farce, a shield to the lawless jind destruction Jo - the game. We should either have protection for the birds and fishes that protects them, or .else free trade in allowing the law abiding to compete with the lawless in exterminating them. ; t The Bland bill to coin the seignorage has passed the bouse. It will not get through the senate, but should it do so by any unforseen accident, the presi dent will kill it. Every congressman and senator kjiows this, as well as he knows that jfc cannot be passed over the president veto. The diaeussion of Jhe bill is simply done to kill time, and fhe whole gang, regardless of politics, are in the ob. Congress is thoroughly rogued and unfortunately cannot be prorogued. An exchange suys: "The engage ment is announced of Mhg Clea Bull to Henry Vaughn of Cambridge. Miss Plea Bull is the daughter pf Olo JUul), he great violinist." We suggest that, according to the eternal fitness of things, that upon her 'marriage her husband gives the lady'a middle name Margarine because he won't luie' any but her. ,eur List. The following is a list of the letters jremaining unclaimed in this office Uarch 1st 1894. JCeilen Ed Ilurlman J. T. ) , Y89$eR A. Stackhouse L. D. cv ..TThey supposed liie'county court-would con- 'Cftr'iu'air judgment superior, and be- causie . they' fell short were , deeply grieved. Let mu assure, these poor un fortunate people that they have my heartfelt sympathy. The Hawaiian question, the silver bill and low tariff, together -with the scarcity of money and approaching starvation already in view, are nothing hi comparison with this irreparable in-j jury which has been so rashly hurled i upon this poor ill-fated little b ind of ; complainants wlio most assuredly j ought to have a prerogative especially j in this case, sad as it. is, Jo command j our honorable county court to mind j their racket. - - - ! "Every signer on this petition is a 1 taxpayer if called out, by the super- j visor,", according to this statement. Here let me remark, from my own ex perience, that a road laborer is like a lieu you are not quite sure of him if you have him already under your thumb, tuidyou my have your eye on him and attempt to put your llnjre.r on him, and he just ain't there. There are exceptional cases, however. , COM PI, A I .NTS. lt. David Wishart makes a state ment. Now, I think the old man is a real good old soul, . means, or would like to be good; but still, I am inclined to think he is just a little like .old Davy Crockett's cider Jarrel; as lie walked up to it and gave it a rap, he said, "There is something good in there, but can't get it out;" audi am of the opinion there is something good in him, but lam fearful. . The old man says, in his complaint, something like this: "ThatJinklns told Uncle Jake, and he told another man, and he told me (Uncle Dave Wishart) that 8. M. Baldwin was noti fied of obstructions in the road, and he Uncle Dave ktiowjs it is so." That is all there is of that . , It I am supervisor and am informed that there are obstructions in the road, and I order a man to-appear' at that place to remove the same,' that is my business but in this case the man did not respond, however. But if I ever have occasion to call him again, lie Will be very apt to take something beside a hint. ' , ' A word or two .more in the way of advice. People that live in glass houses should not throw stones. This is an old and true saying; and whiie I mean no offense, and ask pardon if it be so considered, while it occurs to me that my old friend Dave Wishart seems "to be iuclli ed to rest heavily on my shoulj ders in rather a disparaging manner, and what I term a kind of a bite, or a slight nip at the back, I will, as lie sayB, just to let the people in general kuow'what is going on up here, call his attention to the style he unloaded himself at a prayer meeting, a few weeks ago, near my place, when he had audacity to gel down on his knees before uis God, as he supposed, and jtaid: "Lord, look down on this, your j poor humble servant. 1 have come be- ! i'ore Thee to usk Thee to be merciful unto me, aud do Thou now, O Lord! relieve me of all and every thought or deed, in malice, strife, en vy, back-biting," and, of course, included hypoc risy. " ' What a sentiment! What a glorious thought! But where, oh! where is his God to-day? And where was He that memorable night? Too Tar away to give relief. Now, my old friend Dave, go meud your ways, practice what you preach, for, "while the lamp holds out to burn the vilest sinner may return." The next is Mr. Bak6r, and I do not think he made assertioij meaningly, for I ean prove by Mr. iCnight and Mr, Neely that I was up there on duty as road supervisor; " and as to the- com plaint, Mr. Baker lias a very poor ex cuse and is the first' man I have met that grieved because the supervisor failed to fipd him. I will put him down and be kind to him when I come again. Next, A. Fredeuburg complains of obstructions in the road. Mr. Fredeu burg is over fifty years of age; he claims he is exempt from road labor on that account. He has one hundred and iixty acres of land with fair Improve ments. The reader can judgj of the correctness of his statement. If tuuh was the law there would be very little labor performed on. the road! All I have to say to him is t come out likj a man and work his road tax when the supervisor calls on him. Next comes Cooper David. I do not refer to that David that we read about in the Bible; not the one that kiiled Goliah with three little pebbles which he selected from that beautiful liUle brook, but the one whose last act in gouging a mote from' his neighbor's eye before removing the beam from his own, and who still lives in that happy state, oroud with the all-absorbing hope that the duv is uot far distant when he will reign king over all his tribe. Then the roud will be worked in time and the money collected from taxable property throughout, his land will be spent, as he says, that is if he gets as much as I did, which was $1.C0. Now, gen ;le render, I hope you may soie time lie gladdened ' with the kuowledge that you are that particular .vxuied upon aik.,- as supervisor or pay your flheyvwASuu'i V , - ! may oe euaoiea 10 Dewer uuueisuiuu and enter into its joys.

G.A.Dyke iiiau, druggist, Catskill, N.

"An instance of animal affection caT.a to tnv nnridft ' two vpn.ra sto " vorsity of Indiana, where I was then a student, to assume the presidency of the Lelcnd Stanford university at Pasadena, Cal. While president of the Indiana university Dr. Jordan se cured a fine St. Bernard pup and took good care to raise it property. The dog soon became proficient in many ways under the tutelage of Dr. Jor dan and seemed fairly to worship its master. Nightly the dog could be seen in the Bloomington postofEce waiting its turn when the mail for the president would be handetT out inclosed in a leathern pouch. With thics pouch the dog would trot away toward t"j.o residence of the presi dent, and woo to any one who at tempted to bar its progress. "Dr. Jordan on leaving presented the dog to Professor Hoffman of the college. At first the dog was disin clined to part with his master, and upon Electing Dr. Jordan in the street would turn away from Profess or Hoffman and follow after. Being driven away onco or twice, however, , it made no further attempts at fol lowing him. On the occasion of the doctor's departure Professor Hoff man, along with the other mem bers of the faculty, went to the depot. Thedog journeyed with him. It was here that Dr. Jordan stooped and patted the dog on the head and then entered the cars. The dog watched wistfully for the reappear ance of the good doctor, but in vain. "Soon after this Professor Hoff iman noticed that his dog was absent at a certain period in the day. The operator at the depot also noticed the daily visits of the dog to the station on the arrival and departure of the 2 Pi m. train. , Being informed -as to whom the dog belonged he sent word,' and Professor Hoffman next day watched the strange sight. The dog came, expecting the return of its former master, and waited patiently for. the approach of the train. As the train neared the depot, it would prick " up its ears and observe the ar rivals. It was only when - the : train had passed out of sight that the dog would depart. It was really a touch ing scene and shows the depth of an imal affection." St. Louis Globe Demoorat. The Last Days of Kosciusko Kosciusko, wounded and made prisoner at the battle of Maciejowice, j' was kept two years in the prisons of St. Petersburg, and, amnestied by Czar Paul 1, went 'first to England, thence to Italy and then to Paris. Here he struck great friendship with the charge d'affaires of the Swiss confederation.

The heart o j remained in the possessloi f the hero possession of Kos ciusko's goddaughter. Mile, de Zelt ner, and on her marriage with Count Morosini passed into the keeping of that family. The descendants of. those among whom the great Polish patriot passed away protest most anxiously, and on the best authority, against the phrase attributed to Kosciusko when falling wounded on his last battlefield, '"Finis Poloniie 1" This exclamation was nev er uttered by Kosciusko, who him self refuted the legend, saying in his last days, "These are the words of a self conceited braggart, and as far 1 m J161? as they are from my ; tJi'i3 uuuuuu wutuiuaj iwticw Wanted to- Send a Sample.
