from which we infer that httle or nothing will be
appropriated this year for extending the surveys
and unless something is done that will enable the
Treasury to realize money from the lands, nothing

The above is another Of Henry's openings to

and saying, "See me big Indian" "big Indian

failure to receive large appropriations during his
term Of Office will not be surprising.
FREScH RoNANCE.-A law case, recently
tried in Paris, has brought to light q bit Of very
Frenchy romance. A married man, the father
Of family, and rich widow fell desperately in
love, and as they could not be married, decided
that the next best thing was to commit suicide
They then had another bright idea They would
make sort Of "eternGl marriage" out Of II, and
die on the bridal bed Of DEATH" So madame
dressed herself in superb marriage robe, and
monsieur had his hair curlcd to perfection and
wore enameCd boots and broadcloth clothes
They signed document stating, Eve will at
least be married in eternity, since we cannot be
on earth" and then closed the room, lighted q
brazier Of charcoal Joined hands over il, inhaled
the fumes and soon became insensible. The lady
soon died, but the gentleman fell on the burning
charcoal, which caused bis clothes to catch fire.
The neighbors smelt the odor Of the burning gar
ments, broke into the room and saved his life,
but not ill he was severely burned. On recoV.
ering, he was tried for the murder Of madame,
and on the trial these facts were ELECTED.
WANT OF HARMoSY AT FuSERAL-A dis
erediIable affair recently took place at Cam.
bridgeport, Vt, in the meeting house there, at q
funeral Two ehOirs took their places in the
seats allotted to singers, and, when the hymns
were announced, each struck up tune. Thus
two tunes were sung at the same time, making
the most discordant sounds. and entirely des-
troyi g all the solemnity that usually invests
such occasions The difficulty originated in some
trouble about rival preachers ~.

The complaccncy with which DR.. Henry pa.
radss himself before the public, through the
Standard, must be truly refreshing to the read.
ers and supporters Of that sheet He, through
q system Of tOadyism, receives letter from the
President, and then, from behind bis mask, speaks
thus:
We had the pleasure few days ago, Of read.
ing letter from President Lincoln to an old
friend in Olympia. The sentiments Of the letter
show that place and power has not caused him
to loose sight Of friend, although three thousand
miles away"
Both the grammar and orthography Of tho
above are admirable, and we hope President Lin.
coin will fully appreciate them.
Who ever did lose sight Of borsI No man
could, BY any possibility, lose sight Of Doctor
Henry, any more than be could Of "Old Turf

Wherever chicanery, lying. Misrepresentation,
hypocrisy, or stealing Of other mems characters,
form any part Of public transactions, he ought
to be fully remembered, at least in this Territory.
ThS fact, however, Of President Lincoln writing
to him as friend can add little weight to the
esteem Of the public, for public men are not
always to blame for noticing scamps and other
wise disreputable characters. We ercgrst, never.
theless, that in bestOwing Offices upon such men,
he had not retained DR.. Henry within the limits
Of Oregon, where his character had become thor.
Oughly understood. This Territory did not de
serve such curse; and when the public mind
Is fully awakened to . sense Of justice, we think
relief will be sought and obtained.
The public should be slow to believe that the
President recognizes Henry as bis friend, since
Henry Is 50 forward to proclaim Il himself; and
how much dependence ought to Ls placed on
any statement Of Henry's. the public by this
time can judge. Why don't the Doctor mention

lie, especially On stocks, have increased. 70
10 known sfat the immense development of
stock speculation Ia November enabled the banks
to use their deposits quite proftably in lend
ing on fancy stocks and gold. u has been
argued that decline in government stocks, which
would ensue from the negotiation Of new ioans
would operate very preiudcially on the banks, as
they are such heavy holders of public securities
Eut this is one OF those deluslons which everybody
seems to be corspring with his nejghbor to keep
up. United States si1es, which are selling at the
Board OF Brokers at the nominal price OF l0l, are
in reality only worth IS cents on the dollar,
gold--the only true standard Of value-bcng
worth l3o.. The banks bought them at 9o11ss, and
they have consequently lost about@ per cent on
the investment. But tho loss has been realized,
and win not probably be repeated. If the
Secretary issues new six per cent loan
at 80, and tho change Of policy causes gold
to fall TO u.s. as it seems calculated to
do, the price Of the new loan win in
reality be 8 per cent higher than the
present price Of United States sixes; and the
banks win realize the benefit Of this advance on
the $40, 900 900 of public securities which they
hold. II ia their real interest IL is the interest
Of every one who has any hing at stake in the
country, to the price Of gold to fall as soon
as possible. s ,4

Per cent The financial prospect is not encourag-
ing TO borrowers. All the signs Of the times indi
cate the propriety Of unusual caution and q CON-
mencoment of contraction by the banks, with o
view to prepare for new financial regime. The

government would menace their stability. Well
