A MOrsel from the HaSvkeye.

In commenting upon the proceedings of the
railroad meeting recently held at Iowa City, the
astute gentleman of the Burlington IIawkeye,
coughs out the following, touching the members
of the Supreme Court.
eve learn too, ,la their Honors, the Judges
OF the Supreme Court of iowa, upon special in
vita,ion, delivered themselves of several speech
es in favor OF procuring appropriations "tor the
too great Railroads Of the State, from Dubuque
to keokuk, and from Darenport to Council
BiuFs'' What the distinguished iursts said
on the occasion, we have not learned, nor shall
we be a, any pains to inquire. We think it
likely, however, that their arguments were much
like many of their decisions, and 50 confus ed and
mysterious as to be far beyond the comprehen
sion Of the unearned'
We presume this is the exclusive opinion of
the editor, which is worth Just about as much in
this instance, as in that few days since, when
he declared that our railroad Engineers of the
North knew nothing about their business
The editor gives our friends Carleton and By
ington of Iowa City blast in his peculiar style.
Our friends of the City and of the Supreme
Bench, will excuse us for noticing this subject.
We have not done it from any intrinsic merit,
or beauty in the paragraph above quoted. or be-
cause we regard their position in public estma-
ton, vulnerable to any such attacks; but simply
to illustrate the ierver of local ambition and the
aptness "f Burlington cntemporar es to iidicule
every one and everything, which cannot be
made slavishly subservient to the peculiar local
interests Of that town

The a owe is an emination characteristic Of

we are concerned we pronounce it base false

political and sectiona: neutrality to point to the
first thing in our actions or writings, to Justify
the above assertions. Because we are inclined
to condemn the course Of Morgan of the sBur-
lington Telegraph and his fe'iow-echo Of the

the public, we are not subject to such foul i.n
putatOns as are found in the above.
The people in this section of the state are in

well calculated to effect the dearest aims Of the
people, while it is almost universally believed
that the Herald would like to get somebody out

and also box of the best chocolate for me, to
send home in his name. He is the kindest-heart-
ed and most generously-disposed man ever met
with; but he will gamble and attend cock-fghts,
which seems to be the universal custom of the
country.
In some of the mines they are cutting out
pure silver, from veins six, eight and ten inches
thick At Chanocello there are about three
hundred mines in one mountain, which at dis
tance, is said to resemble huge Ant hill; there
are more than three thousand men burrowing on
it all the time, night and day. There is no wa
ter within fifteen miles, and it costs six hundred
dollars day to supply the miners with water,
and every thing else in proportion; ard yet the
miners tell me when tho mines are rich they
laugh at all expense.
We have a long ride to take by moonlight to
the place we came from this morning forty miles
distant; at this place we are about 5000 feet
above the sea, and the air is very light and ener-
vating. People in this country eat fruit all day
besides devouring a multitude of meats. Early
each morning we take coffee or chocolate; at 10
A. NJ we have breakfast commencing with soup,
which is called Casonea; the rest like our din
ners, except dessert. At P. NJ. We sat down
to a lunch of fruit, embracing all the kinds you
have at home, in the greatest abundance, and
very fine, besides all the different kinds of the
torrid zone, by every steamer. You would be
astonished to see the white grape, which grow
in large and solid punches; one kind of purple
grape, grows as large as green-gage, or Ban
tam's egg. have seen punches so large that
no two famished gormands could eat one The
price of all fruit is high; the ground they grow
in is all irrigated. 1t is good to have friends
with large gardens.

FoHl the National Iateligc'lceI:
Northern Oregon and PcSct Sound

l propose saying a few words to your readers
about that portion Of Oregon Territory north of
the Columbia river, and particularly of that part
of the country bordering on, and in the vicinity
Of Puget Sound. Thinking that many of them
would be pleased to learn something of this new
and comparatively unknown country, [ have
ventured to attempt its description. | believe
that there are many persons, even those to whom
the thought has never occurred to change their
place of residence. who, nevertheless, feel deep
interest in the progress of civilization westward,
and in the development of new and more splen-
did fields for the activity, abode, and enjoyment
of their fellow-countrymen.
That portion of Oregon Territory bounded on
the north by the 49th parallel, on the south by
the Columbia river and on the west by the Pa
ciic ocean, is, in my opinion, the most desirable
part of the Territory for those who wish to Sc
iect home in the "far West" and is destined
at no very distant day to form an additional
State in the American Union.
- Although there is great deal of level land in
this part of Oregon, yet it is by no means desti-
tute of mountains and hills. 1t may be called a
mountainous country. We have the Cascade
Mountains and the Coast Rance, which are in
many places covered WIFI perpetual slo"' Iio'ii
these mountains numberess streams, OF greater
or less volume, supply the land with water
Perhaps no country is more equally supplied
with an abundance of pure, cool, and healthy
water. There are several districts of land in this
country highly priced by the farmer on account
Of their productiveness these are the valleys of
the Cowlitzi, the Chehalis, the Snohomus, the
soquamish, and others Of less extent. Whitbys
Island, in Puget Sound, is about eighty miles
long, averaging fifteen miles in width, and, from
the excellence Of its soil, has justly been styled
the "Garden of Oregon" Besides these, on the
east side of the Cascades and north of the Co.
lumbia, is the Yanamah country which for fer
tiEty of soil and salubrity of climate IS not sur
passed by any other portion of the Territory

THOU WILT NEVER MEET ME MORE.

Thou art gone, but am keeping
In my heart thy treasured name;
If Pm smiling if I'm weeping,
Thou art with me all the same.
Yes, the link at last is riven,
All cur pleasant dreams are Ger,
And, unless we meet in heaven,
Thou wilt never meet me more.
Once the summer sun Lighted
On the petals of rose,
And although her leaves he blighted,
Still he fingered till life's close.
Thus the heart has sometimes cherished
Thoughts that wear away the soul.
Gives pleasure while we perish
Meath this strange yet sweet control.
Thou art gone, yet love hath bound thee,
Thou may'st struggle to forget,
In the heartless crowd around thee:
All in vain !--thou'rt captive yet.
All, forgive the pain I've given,
And thine own deep wrong Of yore,
For unless we meet in heaven,
Thou wilt never meet me more.

that reeengeful disposition which characterized
the Indians of the States. They initiate our
habits, wear our clothing, endeavor to speak our
language, and are of great assistance to the pio-
neer settler. They cut down our trees, hew our
timber, make shingles, work on our farms, and,
in fact, under the direction of white man, can
do almost any kind of work. The abundance of
fish and wild fowl afford them so easy subsis-
tance that they are naturally indolent, and it is
only to be able to procure the luxures Of the
whites that they are induced to work. AS they
seldom, if ever, resort to the chase they are not
disposed to regard the rapid appropriation of
their "ilihee" Qand) by the "pale faces" as an en-
croachment upon their hunting grounds; on the
contrary, they court their emigration, and are
every day becoming more dependant.
The facility of reaching this country by the
overland emf grant will be greatly improved by
the opening Of a road across the Cascade Noun
tains north of the Columbia. 1t is proposed by
the people of Northern Oregon to open this road
during the coming summer, so that it may be
completed in time for the present years emigra-
ton, and preparations are now being made for
that purpose. The Importance of this road to
the overland emigrant can be appreciated but by
the few who have actually made the trip. All
who have reached Oregon by the overland route,
and have crossed the Cascade Mountains by the
old road, know that this portion of the road is
more to be dreaded than any other part of the
route. The loss of wagons, cattle, horses, &C.,
by the last years emigration, on these noun
tains, so near the termination of their journey,
and almost within sight of their future homes,
was greater than was experienced on the whole
of the preceding route taken together. Il

TIE OLD MAN TO HIS WIFE.

We are growing very old, Kate
feel it every day,
The hair upon our temples now
Is growing thin and grey.
We are not as we were Kate,
And yet our hearts are young.
AS when we roved the sunny hills,
And fowery dales among.
We are growing very old Kate,
But it is not age of heart
Though speedily the hour comes on,
When thou and I must part;
When thou and must part, Kate,
AS we have ne'er before,
Besides our cottage hearth to meet,
With words of love no more.
But we're growing very old, Kate,
And the parting won't be long,
Till we meet within better home,
Amid yon heavenly throng,
Till we sing the song together, Kate,
The angels sing above;
Where ne'er the fear Of parting takes
The blessedness from love.

GooD NATuRE.-Good nature is a gem which
shines brightly wherever it is found 1t cheers
the darkness of misfortune, and warns the heart
that is callous and cold. In social life who has
not seen and felt its influence! Don't let mat
ters rufae you. Nobody gains anything by being
cross and grabbed. If friend has injured you;
if the world goes hard; if you want employment
and can't get it; or can't get your honest dues;
or fire has consumed, or water swallowed up the
fruits of many years hard toll or your faults
magnifed, Or enemies have traduced, or friends
deceived, never mind don't get mad with any
body; don't abuse the world or any of its crea-
lures keep good natured and our word for it,
all things will come right. The soft south wind
and the genial sun are not moro effectual in
clothing the earth with verdure and sweet flow
ers of spring, than is good nature in adorning
the heart of men and women with blossoms of
kindness, happiness amp afiection-thoSe flowers
the fragrance OF which ascend to Heaven.

THE WoMEN.-Here is a "Tribute to Wo-
man," from a note to an Editor, the justice of
which few will dispute There is something
about woman that is curious, isn't there ? This
morning swept the schoolhouse. l thought it
was nicely done-telt proud. Presently some
girls came in, and one, true to the instructive
sense of neatness characteristic of her sex, took
the broom She swept after me, and good gra-
cous what's change! 1t seems as if-well,
can't telI-but when she was done, 1 had very
poor opinion of my house keeping powers, I as
sure you. The stove hearth, the wood by the
stove-all everything-put on that look which
only woman can give. What in creation is it
that makes them give such an air to things"

MIS- DELLA N EO u s
Anecdotes Of Monkeys.

During short stay on the Essequibo,
writes q traveller) little monkey of
the JackoWai Ris tribe, in return for
some slight attention had shown him,
permitted me so far to gain his favor
and confidence that he was seldom
away from my person indeed he treat
ed me like one mentioned by dis
tinguished traveller, which every MORN
ing seized on pig belonging to mis-
sion on the Orinoco, and rode on its
back during the whole day. while it
wandered about the savannahs search
ing for food. Nothing pleased him
more than to perch upon my shoulder,
when he would encircle my neck with
his long hairy tail, and accompany me
in all my rambles His tail formed no
very agreeable neckcloth, with the
thermometer above 1909; but he seem
ed 90 disappointed when i refused to
carry him, that it was impossible 10
leave him behind. In appearance he
was particularly engaging-sqairrel-
like Id form-with light brown coat,
slightly tingad with yellow, and arms
and legs of d reddish cast, pleasingly
contrasting with pale face and small
black muzzle,. the expressive and merry
twinkle Of his sparkling black eye be-
tokened fun, roguery and intelligence.
The Jackowai Ris are fierce tribe,
and approach the carnivora in their
habits and dispositions. One reason of
our intimacy was the sameness of our
pursuits, both being entonologists; but
he.was a far more indefatigable insect
hunter than myself He would sit mo-
stionl6ss for hours among fhe branches
of . towering shrub or tree, the resort
of bees and butterflies, and suddenly
seize them when they little expected
danger. Timid in the presence of
strangers, he would usually fly to the
branches Of d neighboring tree at their
,approach, utiering plaintive cry more
resembling bird than an animal. He
was apt to be troublesome even to me,
unless found him some amusement;
this, fortunately, was. not difficult, for
his whole attention was soon engrossed
by . fiowersor leaf from my notebook,
which he would ;ndustriously pull to
pieces and. throw on the surface of the
wate5 earnestly watching the frag-
znents with his quick black eye as they
glided away ~ =
At other times, when sitting on my
shoulder he was an ineessant plague,
.kwitchiug the hairs from NV head by
tWos and threesr filling my ears with
fragments of plants and other rubbish,
and taking malicious pleasure in
holding on to those members when the
boat lurched and he was in danger of
falling think it was one of the same
family that Humboldt found capable of
recognising, IS resemblances. Of their
originals, even uncolored geological
drawings, and would stretch out its
hand to endeavof to catch the bees and
eFasshoppers. I was unable to test the
saeacity of my little comrade, as the
only accessible work with engravings |
was . copy OF Schomburgk's Fishes
Of GUIANA and when ! showed him |
the plates, he manifested no signs Of
knowlsdgs Of his fnny compatriots;
