Az EDITOR IN A TIGHT PLAcE.-"Old Tom
Dryer" editor of the OrYonidn and member of the
Oregon Legislature, has at last got what his abu-
sive tongue has earned long ago The account
of his suilerin's is peculiarly graphic
"Lasater Immediately repeated and rerepeqted
that we were liar and blackguard, whereupon
we did take our inkstand from the desk and
hurled it in his face, intending it as a rebuke for
his gross insults More than half an hour had
intcrvened, when, as we were quietly passing
down the principal street, Lasater seized us by
the throat, at the same time planting a heavy
blow upon our forehead, and rushed us into the
door of a store, where we both fell upon some
opened shoe boxes, Lasater on top still graspng
our throat. After few blows he inserted the
thumb of his right hand into our left eye, and
forced it almost entirely from its socket. At this
time, by desperate or superhuman effort, we
released his grasp from the throat, and his thumb
from the eye and fell dat upon the floor. Lasater
then seized us by the hair, and attempted to
gouge our other eye out, which we prevented by
turning our face close to the floor and locking
our fingers and pressing our hands close to our
eyes After several fruitless efforts to insert his
thumb into our right eye, he then commenced
pounding us on the back Of the bead with his
fists. The only aid and comfort we had were the
vociferous yells Of Give him HE'LL Dig his
damned eyes out Go in, Lasater' &c"

VERY PECULIAR DEMOCRACY" The above
choice extract, combining ignorance, narrowness
of mind, and petty prejudice, is from the TRINITY
Journal. paper notorious for lis unfarness and
illiberality towards the Administration and the
democratic party. 1t doubtless emanated from
the added brain of that would be-thought great
man, c. B. Mcdonald, editor of that sheet."-
Sonora Democrat.
Able, truthful and manly Journalists who have
influence in the democratic party, will be sorry
TO find paragraph so disreputable as the above
In profcssedly democratic paper. They all know
that the fellow whe so remarked about us is a
liar, and is unsupported by a single reputable
journal; they also know that such abomnable
stuff is " "pizera" to the party, giving abundance
of timber for its enemies TO work on. 1t has been
said that portion of the party press is unscru-
lous and servile. Here, now, are two polywog
democrats industriously rolling a scavenger-cart
after Senator Gwin. If the old mans belly aches,
they both cross their fippers on their stomachs
and grunt; if the Doctor be politically afflicted
they stick their knuckles in the corners of their
eyes. gouge and blubber like louts; if the Doctor
expectorates they dip their fingers in the spittle
aud cross themselves, for a charm; no menal
service is, with them, impracticable; they drag
their flexible and undainty tongues over the
soles of his boots, and hug bis unshod foot in
amorous transports-get down on their knees
and palms and swear that the Doctor is bigger
than General Jackson, and wish that they were
four-footed asses, that they might carry him into
some political Jerusalem. Let anybody tread on
the tail of the Doctors coat, and out como their
pasteboard swords in annihating ferocity
Is that the province Of democratic journalist?
Are toad consumers reputable and respected by
high minded editors whose massive and dgnGed
articles we read with admiration We suppose
not. In politics as well as citizenship helots are
sometimes necessary, to work in pestilent places,
where valuable lives are not imperiled.

ANTIQuuY OF ST. VALENTINES DAY.-The
following interesting and elegantly constructed
article is from the San Juan Press:
"St. Valentine day, which ism the carnival
season Of lovers, dedicated 20 the interchange of
soft VOWS and amorous protcstatons, is directly
derived by antiquarians from the old Roman
festival Of the Lupercalia, which itself was older
than the imperial city,
"This festival was celebrated by the Romans
in honor Of Pan, the rural divinity, half man and
half goat, who presided over fiocks and herds
and protected them from wolves; hence the name
of the festival, from the Latin Lupus, wolf
To this divinity, who has been used, in latter
days as the symbol of universal nature, was ded-
icated an order of priests, termed the Luperci.
On the occasion Of the Lupercalia, which was
about the middle of February, these priests ran
naked through the city, having around their
waists goat-skin girdles only, and bearing in
their hands thongs of the same material, with
which they struck at passers by, and particularly
married women, who were thus supposed to be
endowed with fecundity. According to Gibbon,
a goat was sacrificed at this festival; the flesh
was roasted on willow spits, and the riotous
youths who crowded to the feast ran about naked,
striking with leather thongs the women whom
they met, in the same manner as the priests
This ridiculous and indecent custom was
observed even after the introduction of Christi.
nominally such, clung lovingly to the traditions
and festivals Of their ancestors, and the Fathers
of the church were forced to tolerate and to
sanctify what they could not abolish The Lu-
percalia they ingeniously chrisianized, by giving
il the name of St. Valentine, martyr of the
third century, whose birthday fortunately hap
pened or was made to happen, about the time
of the pagan festival 1t must by this time have
become more decent One of its chief attractions
consisted in the choosing by lot of lovers for the
slips Of paper being the medium by which this
was accomplished, the Roman youths drawing
from this at random. Doubtless they were often
dissatisfied at the chance-directed result. The
same custom Of choosing lovers by lot still exists
in some of the rural districts Of England, and
perhaps in other European countries, and the
persons thus chosen are called Valentines.
Ever since the above lucky thought Of the
early Fathers, Saint Valentine has enjoyed a
happy Immortality in the memory of lovers"
