This illustrious warrior has gone
to an early gruve, as ho had not
completed his 68th year. Failure of
the heart is L'ivcn as the cuu&c of
IiIh death, but it is probable his en.
durance was impaired by indiscre
tion at tho table. Grant died of too
groat fondness for his cigar; Presi
dent Arthur of his love of good liv
ing ; and this latter victim of gen
erous conviviality. Bolomon says:
"Jletter is n morsel of herbs than a
stalled ox," but men prominent in
arms and stutcmauship cannot prac
tice frugality.
A great man has fallen in our
midst; a successful soldier, a de
voted patriot and n worthy citizen.
Jlis fellow-countrymen mourn his
loss.niid ids name will bo inscribed In
enduring characters on our annals.

The I'-ast Orcgonian has told a
sentiiiK'nlal story about an Indian
lad, nnnied lied Moccasin, who lived
near the Umatilla agency, but who
committed suicide a week ago. The
slory told of him is that his Hlster,
who lives In Idaho, left two or three
horses in his care, which lie sold for
n good price. This moved a half
brother lo charge him with stealing
tlio horses and appropriating the
money obtained from the Mile. This
was a new view of the case to lied
Moccasin, and lo relieve himself of
the Imputation of crime, lie bought
the horses back and sent them to his
sister. "Hut," says the narrator,
"even this did not settle his lacera
ted feelings, and the knowledge that
he, an honest Indian, had been sus
pected or thievery, so worked on his
mind that ho committed suicide."
Tills Ih very touching, but It does
not Justify tho conclusion of the
writer that the story shows, "that
poor I.o, contrary to nearly nil opin
ions regarding him, sometimes pos
sesses n sensitive nature, n conscience,
and a feeling or seir respect which
cannot bear Insinuations against
character." To our nppielieiision It
shows that persons Irregularly train
ed result to desperate deeds on very
slight occasion. If this Indian boy
had poessed tho "self lesiK'et" at
tributed to him by his eulogist, ho
would huvo lived down the suspic
ion cast on him by his relative and
Hhown he was "honest Injun." lie
had done a dishonest act; ills pride
was stung at Its merited reproof,
and lie resorted ton desperate shift
to rid himself of a painful unpleas
antness. It would be hard to make
any moral heroism out of snob an
act.

Tho puro food bill of Mr. l.eeof
Virginia, which thehou-ecoinnilttee
on agriculture- has agreed to report
favorably, substantially applies the
principle of the Interstate commerce
act to tho prevention of transporta
tion U'twcen stall's, or exportation
from the United States of any adul
terated or wrongfully branded arti
cles of food, drink or medicine. The
bill makes violation of Its provisions
a lulMlciucHiinr, and provide for a
line of not lew than $KH), nor more
than fl.iKH) for each otleiite, and for
Imprisonment on a ocdnd convic
tion. In order to carry out this
HtHtute, a "food division" Is to Ih
oronted In tho detriment of agri
culture, with chemists loonled In the
prlui'lpMt el tied, and inspectors to
test gissls alleged to Ih tmusHirted
In violation of law. The mcuro Is
a sweeping one, Hint will, If enacted,
utll'Ct all that federal authoilty can
properly do toward tho prevention
of thtfwlti of hdurlous articles of AhhI.

How tbe Slang I'hrase Is Said to Hare
Originated.
This crj'i Hke many another that
was afterward made popular, la said
to have originated as a term of deris
ion for the Prohibitionists and St.
John, the candidate of that party for
President in 1884. It had its origin
in the West, and in about this way:
Governor St. John had been a Repub
lican party leader, as is well known,
and when ho accepted the Prohibi
tion nomination for the Presidency
he was roundly denounced by the
Ilepublicnns. They stnrted the cry,
"What Is thematter with St. John?"
The answer to this was, "Oil he's all
right!" Tills was accompanied by a
significant shake or the head, which
was meant to imply that tho Dem
ocratic barrel had been tapped for St.
John and that he was abundantly
supplied with lucre and liquid re
freshments. The Prohis adopt
ed the cry and ti'-cd it during the
canvass in 1881. When their con
vention met at Indianapolis in May
last, with more than 1,000 delegates
and three times that number of
their party friends in attendance,
St. John was one of the strong men
and ho was mado the permanent
chairman. At his Ilrst appearance
upon the crowded convention plat
form n chorus of voices cried out,
.'What's the matter witli St. John?"
The answering shout from the mul
titude came like a tornado. "He's
all right!" and Hint was St. John's
welcome by tho Prohibitionists.

The village of Henton will be prac
tically deserted to-day ns tho bulk or
tho population will pay a visit to
Seattle. The cause of tho exodus is
a dog suit, which has been convulsing
the town for some time and which
has caused so much bitter feeling
that it lias made friends mortal en
emies and turned husband against
wife. 1 1 appears that George Shear
er had a valuablo dog wnich devel
oped a fondness for running out into
tho street and snapping at horses'
fetlocks. This went along foe some
lime until some person finally got
mud unit laid Hie canine out stark
and still' with a heavy charge of
buckshot. This made Mr. Shearer
very angry. The dog was his idol
and pet and he straightway began
suit for .)0 damages. The matter
became at once tho exciting topic of
conversation in tho town and as
usual in caecs of excitement, more
or less ill feeling was created. This
growuiitil every ono in llenton had
taken sides either for or against
GeorgoSnearor's dog. Society is dis
rupted and will not settle down Into
its normal condition until long after
the case has been decided in the
courts.

A Minneapolis Bible.
"What abeautlfully bound Bible!"
said the new minister, calling on a
Minneapolis family.
"Yes," said tho lady of the house,
"my husband don't do things in any
nlnin-sheon manner. Tho best calf
with red Morocco trimmings, ain't
none too good for us. He had this
bound especially.for our own use."
"Ah! very good. Very good. By
the way, let me call your particular
attention to a passage of Scripture
this morning. Let me see: "Why,
w hat does this mean? This is an
imperfect copy. The entire book of
St. Paul is left out."
Certainly; that is my husband's
idea."
Your husband's idea! Why, that
is sacrilege!"
"Oh, not at all. This is an age of
reason. My husband is a strong
Minneapolis man, and got this bible
up for homo reading in a Minneapo
lis family. This St Paul racket has
been running a little too strong late
ly." "Well, I'm amazed."
