The Bore.

The bore proper is rather an uncommon
specimen of humanity. There are plenty
of dull fellows and dogmatic egotists who
are usually accounted bores, but who bear
no more resemblance to the actual article
than soap does to cheese The perfect bore
is a man after his own fashion having no
point of agreement in character, with the
balance of his race. He is a man who al
ways says and does the wrong thing at the
wrong time, in the wrong place, just when
you are in the worst frame of mind to hear
or>witness it. The perfect type of this
species is invariably an amiable fellow
whose disposition to be complacent is so
plain that it initiates when it is really in
tended to soothe. Disagreeable men are
not properly bores; it is the too affection
ate friend that trespasses upon our time and
wounds our feelings by freezing on to us
just when We don't want him to do it, or
tells something intended to be to our ad-
vantage when we know that it will not turn
out SO, who is the perfect bore. tits troub-
lesOme to part with perfect lore. He
meets you affectionately, indulges in some
disagreeabe reminisence, to show by-stan-
ders that he is intimate with you, invites
you to call and see him, proposes to visit
you, hunts you up at your hotel and way
lays you on the street. He excites your
by fixing a time for private in
terview, at which he has nothing to tell );
and discourses volubly on dozen different
subjects without coming to the point on
any. Thus awkward, voluble and intru-
sive, he afflicts us more by his amiability
than he would by his animosity and in
ficts mental torture by his oficious kind
ness. compared to which the actual borngs
of cork-serews and augers into our bodies
would be bliss. Unconsciously the perfect
bore gals his victim by his Internal nom
sense, and watches his writings with the
comfortable conviction that he is highly
amusing and instructive. Puncture us
with bodkins, bring on your cork-screws
ard augers, touch us on the sensitive spot
with hot iron, but deliver us from bores.
Printers and editors are much afflicted by
perfect bores.

Small Shruhherv


Who does not like curants, goosberries and
blackberries? We envy those who have these
fruits in abundance. Why do we not have them
ourselves
1t is just because we will not give our attention
to obtaining plants and planting them out in the
proper season.
A few plants well taken care of will increase
your number in year or two to all you may need
or desire.
Get dozen Red Dutch currant and dozen
white grape currant plants, from Ritz or any one
else and you will have enough to make good
beginning.
Half dozen Lawton Blackberry plants planted
six feet apart, will originate all the stock you
want When one year DID, go about them with
a spade and cut off the latte al roots one foot
from the stool, and next year you will have plants
enough.
After all that has been said about foreign vari-
cites of the Raspberry, | like the native
Black-cap of the Willamette valley as well as
any.
l think-for can't say that understand the
climate of this valley to say l know-I say
think that the Blackberry and Raspberry will
grow best here on the black bottom lands of our
streams aud where they can be slightly protect,
by trees from burning heat of the SUM- Every
boy knows that the largest sweetest black berries
grow in the shade; and the same fact but to
less extent can be said of the Raspberry.
Don't the recollections of most of our readers
carry them back to places where they enjoyed
good saucer of rich currants with sugar; and
raspberres with sugar-and don't the reco lee
ton make you desirous of enjoying, with your
families and friends, these desirable fruits again
We can have them. Shall we?

KILLING, NO MURDER.-In the times
of the English Commonw ealth, pamphlet
was written to prove that the assassination
of the Lord Protector, Oliver Cromwell,
would not only be no ofense but virlu-
Gus action. The title of this interesting
treatise was, "Killing, no Murder" The
student of English history will perhaps re-
member that, in his day, Cromwell stood
somewhat in the way of monarchists hence
the propriety of killing him. A new adap-
tation of this humane doctrine has been or
iginated on the Sound in the case of Horace
Howe, Jr, who killed B. F. Kendall last
winter The Grand Jury of Thurston
county found an indictment against young
Howe for manslaughter, and he has been
dismissed on bail A new treatise might
now be written, entitled Murder is Man
slaughter and manslaughter should not be
punished This document would doubt
less meet the appreciation Of a large circle
of persons who instigated the killing of
Kendall-we say "killing," for who will
dare say murder when Grand Jury call it
''manslaus hter' We suggest the propri-
ETY. of the publication of pamphlet justi-
flying the seven capital sins, and other little
peccadilloes-such as arson, rape, public
and private robbery, horse-stealing, ETC.,
by some person interested in the Staying of
Kendall. Nobody could do such subject
so much justice as one who was connected
with that affair.

LOCATION OF BOISE MINEs.-I notice
peculiar statement in the Washington
Statesman, about the position of the Boise
mines, to-wit: that they are south of that
place. The fact is, they are over two de-
grees east of the meridian of Walla Walla,
and nearly 1-2o south of that meridian.
True, they are south of the parallel of that
town, but much more to the east than to
the south, according to all reports of men
who have visited these mines which have
come to my knowledge. Most persons fix
them on about the same meridian with
Florence. Some say they are due south of
Warren's diggings, which are further eest
than Florence. Hence to claim that they
are south from Walla Walla would also re-
quire that Florence and Warrens were Ell
ther south or north of that point, colocal
with Walla Walla. The assumption Of the
Statesman is evidently mistake, not in
tended, but accidental. al.-Mr. Leland, in
the Times. ... ...
The Statesman said that the Boise mines
were in ''southerly" direction from Walla
Walla, and the context shows that we
placed them east as well as south of this
place. This form of describing localities is
very common and very proper; being easi7'
ly understood by those who wish to under
stand it. The military map of the Depart
ment of Oregon, compiled in 1859, proves
that Boise is more south than east from
Walla Walla, and we prefer believing that
authentic source o. Information rather
than the high-toned speculatons of Don
Scrautio or even Mr. Leland himself
Having gone this far in explanation, we
would like Mr.. Leland, the critic, to ex-
plain how he proposes t. get ''south of that
meridian Does he intend to follow it to
the south pole and then climb UP the pole?
or does he intend to reverse the present
system of determining latitude and long-
tude In any case when he does get
south of that meridian" we hope he will
take Don Scrantio with him to testify to
the fact, and then everybody will believe
it

To the Captains and Owners of the Oregon
Steam Navigation Company's Steamers of the
Upper Columbia River, Greeting This is to
notify you, that the steamer Kiyus owners have
wood at various places on the banks of the Co
lumhia, Snake and Clearwater Rivers.
This wood is not for SALE nor has any person
authority from this company to sell. dispose of,
or loan any part or portions of said wood except
in case Of real necessity.
Should you, from any accident, or unavoidable,
unforeseen cause be obliged to take any wood be-
longing to this company, the same must be re-
turned by the very first trip of said steamer, other
wise you will be charged for each and every cord
so taken, twenty dollars $500, besides any ard
all real damages sustained by this company in
consequence of having the wood so taken.

Idaho Territorial Convention.


The Union Democratic Central Commit
tee of Nez Perces county, propose to hold
a Convention" in Lewiston on the goth of
May next for the purpose of nominating a
delegate to represent the Territory of Ida
no in Congress
We notice that the Committee in their
apportioment of delegates, not only assume
that Lev iston is in the new Territory, but
that Walla Walla is also. This, seems to
US like counting chickens before they are
hatched;" for we have seen nothing yet to
lead to the belief that either of these pla-
ces are in the new Territory. Another no
ticeable feature in the apportionment is a
mGgnanimity manifested by the Committee
la the Puget Sound members of the late
Legislature, in giving Nez Perces county
eight members in the Convention and Walla
Walla only five. However, as this ar
rangement is altogether premature ard
mere assumption on the part of the afore-
said committee, we will not enter further
protest now than to say, il we are correctly
informed as to the population of the two
counties, and if Walla Walla Is really in
the new Territory, the Union Democrats of
this county will never go into Convention
with them under such an apportionment
Leaving out Of the question the appOrtion-
ment, the county committeeman of Nez
Perces county have no authority to call a
Convention for the entire Territory. That
power rests in the various county commit
tees, and by their action alone can Demo
matter as an unwarranted assumption of
power.

Thorn Hedge.

EDS. STATESMAN: In your issue of the 18th were
remarks recommending a trial of our native thorn
for hedging Since these remarks were intro
duced, very respectable gentleman has told me
that the thorn of this valley will grow from
slips. l believe he is mistaken but would be
glad if our farmers would make the trial. Obtain
thrifty slips of the thorn cut them in lengths of
say ten inches cut them square off, and smooth
at the bottom, without iniuiing the bark set
them out a few inches apart, in well prepared
ground and fspaded little, all the better. 1t
is possible they may grow; if they do, plants thus
started will be a ycat in advance of those that
grow from seed.
l am apprehensive that the gentleman to whom
have referred, saw the thorn plants from cut
tings in June, and he might, perhaps, if he had
examined the plants in July, or August found
them dried up. But the experiment, which may
cost an hours labor, is worth trying.
Ihave an abiding conviction that the thorn of
this region will make a valuable hedge fence
more safe than a rail fence-far cheaper than
either rail fence or bitches and embank-
ments,
If hedges can be ebeapiy and expeditiously
made here, they will be worth millions to the
farmers who are here and others who will settle
with them in this charming valley.
The experiments of which have shown should
be attended to now. A.

EscAPE-Crow, alias Powell, who has
been confined in the Jail in this city, since
last fall, under sentence of five years i'm
prisonment in the Penitentiary, escaped
on Thursday last One of the keepers
went to the prison to give the prisoners
their supper, and Crow was allowed, as
usual, to go outside for a short time, to at
tend to some duty in regard to his cell.
Not returning Immediately, the keeper
went out to look for him, and found that
he had taken off his shackles at the door
and was running away. The keeper was
unarmed, and bad the care of several other
prisoners, and could not pursue him, but
gave the alarm as soon as possible. The
Sheriff, with others, started in pursuit, but
Crow had gained the brush, and their search
was unsuccessful. Upon an examination
of Crows shackles, it was found that he had
sawed the rivets off so that he could re-
move them at will. He is an old offender
an escaped convict from both Oregon
and California, and frequently boasted that
he would not remain in prison here longer
than the present spring A reward of 5000
has been offered Cor his apprehension.
