OREeoN.-The Iowa Reporter says, "there
are some errors prevailing with the public
and the press in relation 10 something con>
nected with this country, and with the mat.
ter of emigration to it. Some persons have
an idea that its soil is exceedingly rich.-
This is not according to the most credible
representations oft. 1t is stated to be, for
the most part, only of moderate fertility
There are said to be some spots exceeding
productive, but there are some quite the re-
verse. The mineral formation and the
vegetation of the country, confirm this idea.
The formation is primitive, by some called
granite, by others basaltic. Perhaps partly
both. A granite soil has been known to be
very fertile. A basaltic is, we think, more
so. 1t is fine country, too, which is gen.
orally not fertile. There is another error
in relation to the disposition of the natives.
Some of the papers represent that there is
no danger from them. They have generally
been pacific, it is true, near the river, in
their intercourse with ships going there for
trade. But one instance, if we mistake not,
some years ago, though the time and par.
ticulars have escaped us, they murdered all
the persons belonging to ship, perhaps Mr..
Astor's, MIR. Thorn, the supercargo, only
living TO tell the tale. The Crow, on the
north and the Cumanches on the south to.
ward Texas, have also at times molested
travellers to that country. 1t will be well,
therefore, for emigrants to 60 in large COM
panies and well armed. The Black Feet,
too, large and hostile band from the North,
some times roam as far south as the Platte.
The agent for the company emigrating
from Pittsburg, recommends that they rem
devious at Fort Leavenworth. This would
be good point of starting for a small com.
pany. But from increasing indications, it
is probable there may be from 10 to 10000
emigrants thither. In the event of so great
number, it would be better to rendezvous
at st. Louis or some point east of it, as it
would no doubt be found necessary and e

The GREAT VALLEY OF THE MIssIssIP-

The GREAT VALLEY OF THE MIssIssIP-
Pin a report made By Mr.. Barrow, of
Louisiona, in the Senate of the United
States, some extraordinary facts are stated
in reference to the Great Valley Of the
Mississippi. This region comprises nine
States and two Territories, with popula-
ton of nearly seven millions. In 1912,
there were $50 steamers running upon the
Mississippi, and about 1000 flat boats. The
value of the downward trade to New Or
leans is estimated at sl2O,OOO,Ooo annual
ly--the upward trade at SlO0.ooo.OOO.-
The whole trade to the enormous amount
of two thousand and twenty millions of dol
lars per annum-only about thirty millions
less than the entire value of all the foreign
trade of the United States, exports and i'm.
ports, in lS41. Courier.

This important science IN the economy
of matrimony, is sensibly and philosophical

tell you whether the girl who refused

accepted. am speaking of verbal COM
munications only; as nobody ever writes
who can speak. 1t is usual in all cases of
refusal, for the lady to say that she is deep
ly grateful for the honor you have done her;
but feeling only friendship for you, she re-
grets that she cannot accept your proposal,
&c. have heard the words so often that
know them by heart. The words, how
ever varied, signify little; it is the tone and
manner in which they are pronounced that
must guide you in forming your estimate
of the crue! one. If they are pronounced
with evident marks of sorrow, instead of
triumph, showing unfeigned regret for hav-
ing caused pain which she could not allevi-
ate-if her voice is soft, broken, and trem-
ulous--her eye dimmed with half formed
tear, which it requires even an effort TO sub.
due--then, say you may share in her sor-
row, for you have probably lost prize
worth gaining but though you gricve, you
may also hope, if you are man of any pre-
tensions, for there is evidently good feeling
to build upon. Do not, therefore, fly out
and make an idiot of yourself On receiving
your refusal submit with a good grace !:

you have sustained. Take her hand at
parting, kiss it frequently, but quietly no
outre conduct of any kind--jest little al
the expense Of your own failure, without
however attempting to deprive her of the
honor of the victory. Rise in her estima-
ton by the manner in which you receive
your sentence; let her sorrow be mingled
with admiration, and there is no knowing
how soon things will change. These in.
structions, you will perceive, are not inten-

ANOTHER BREACH OF PROMISE CASE.


Bachelors who pay scattering visits" to
the ladies, must look out; there is no
knowing what might take place. The other
day, at Barnstable, Mass, Miss Harriet
Curtis sued one Benjamin Baker for a
breach of promise of marriage, and recov-
cred verdict of 5000. The promise was
inferred from series of scattered visits, ex-
tending from 1924 to 1888, and the post
script Of letter in these words: "N. B.
As to matrimony, it doesn't bear with much
weight at present on my mind" The Pat
riot says that it was proved that he occa>
sionally visited the plaintiff, for eight or
ten years, commencing in 1924, during
which time he carried her to two weddings,
and one dedication, and once to his fathers,
where she made visit of four DAYS; that
then ne discontinued his visits for fire years,
ana then renewed them again, that the last
time he was there was in 1897 or 1888 !;
that in the spring of 1910, he wrote her a
letter, which was read To the Jury, and
which was very good in its way, being a
very proper epistle but not sword of
promise" 10 his fair correspondent But a
nOta bena was appended in the language
mentioned. 1t must be admitted that the
Jury construed matters very literally for
the fair one. Phil. Courier.

eminently qualified for the duty, will be the
grand marshal of the day. The program

and come down in the attitude of John of

pie cause to rejoice. If the lady snaps at
you, as much as to say. You are an impu>
dent fellow which may be sometimes true,
though it should not exactly be told-then

song:
'eIhere is in southern chimes breeze,
That sweeps with changeess course the seas;
Fixed to one point oh, faithful gale.
Thou art not for my wandering sail.''

she is an ill.bred hoyden, or a downright

THE FELL DEsTRoYER.-An incident
occurred in the neighborhood of our office
few days ago which reads a more impress
sive lecture on the brutalizing effects of in
toxicating fluids than Pollard himself could
deliver. In a small brick tenement dwelt,
rather, lone and SOLITARY couple, thus
band and wife) without any visible means
of support, yet giving themselves up to in
temperance. as if drinking was the sole end
and aim of their being. 1t was on Satur-
day night last, that physician was called
in great haste to this abode of wretchedness.
HIS visit was brief; it was to ascertain
whether there might not be remaining
spark Of life that could by his skill be made
to reanimate the wife, who lay corpse on
the bed; she had just committed suicide
The story of her death was told by her be-
sotted husband. He had tumbled down
upon the bed, early in the evening, over
come by liquor and fell asleep. About
eight o'clock he woke up, and the first OBJ
ject that presented itself to his view, was
his wife suspended from The top OF the'b
post by cord round her neck. He rose
from the bed. and, with as much haste as
one in his condition could exert, cut the
cord, laid her on the bed and went for doc
tor. The wretched woman had not drawn
sober breath for three weeks and the re-
action Of so much excitement, which ma
ture could no longer sustain, had produced
what is commonly called the horrors a
state in which existence is insupportable--
and she had committed suicide by hanging
herself. They were English people, who
had seen better days and moved in respec-
table society. The husband had followed
the sea as ship-master, but heavy misfor-
tunes, which he had not the moral stamina
to bear up against, overwhelmed him; he
abandoned himself TO the bottle, and his
hapless wife became his partner for woe, as
she had been for veal Norfolk Herald.

MISCELLANEOUS.
THE COURSE OF TIME.

Oh. let the soul its slumber break,
Arouse its senses and awake,
To see how soon
Life with its glOries, glides away,
And the stern footsteps of decay
Come stealing on.
How pleasure, like the passing wind.
Blows by, and leaves nought behind,
But grief at last;
So should our present happiness
Seem to the Maynard fancy less
Than what is past.
And while we eye the rolling tide
Down which our flying minutes glide
Away so fast,
Let us the present hour employ,
And deem each future dream of joy
Already past.
Lei no vain hope dece i've the mind
No happier let us hope to find
Tomorrow than to-day,
Our giIded dreams of yOre were bright;
Like them the present shall delight,
Like them decay.
Our lives but lasting streams must be,
That into one engulphing sea
Are doomed TO fall
Der king and kingdom, crown and throne,
The sea of death, whose waves roll on,
And swallow all.
Our birth is but starting place,
Life is the running of the race,
And death the goal,
There all our steps at last are brought;
That path alone Of all unsought,
Is found Of all.
