EloQuent Extract,

The following is an extract from the
speech of Hon. George II. Pendletcn at
fiemingsburg, Ky:
Il stood the other day in that beautiful
cemetery which overlooks the valley Of The
Kentucky river and the capital of your State;
| wandered among its beautiful trees, and
looked upon the inscription upon It's many
tombs. | saw there the heroes of civil strife
i mean civil, as distinguished from militia,
ry- had died with their harness Oh
saw the graves of the immortal dead who
had died in the Indian wars, in the war of
1912, in the war with Mexico, and those
who died in our late unhappy aud wretched
civil strife. Old aud young, all bore testi.
mony to the courage and vaor and herois IN
and loyalty Of Kentucky. There they Law
altogether, those who had died fifty wears
ago and those who had died this wear. Con-
federates and FederaIs lay side by side, their
battles over their struggles past-tbere they
lay in the calm and silent repose of com
mon death. Their spirits had ascended upon
eternal wings to perform in concurrent bar
mony the duties assigned them by the di-
vine appointment of their Almighty Makor.
And why Is 1t, gentlemen, that we, the liy~
ing, feeling the necessity of harmony, must
wait until a common death shall SEIZE us.
and until it shall be too late, before wo
agree to strike hands together, bury oar diff
terences at the foot of our counlry's altar,
and swear by the Eternal God to her, and
to her alone, he will be true forever"

TINS SIDE Up.-We saw Jake mailing up
a box the other day, containing some articles
which he Intended sending by express.
From the nature of the contents we knew it
was essential that the box soud not be nvert,

ton to Jake to place tho much abused

"IIopE WE DoN'r INrRuDE." We heartily
concur with the Butte Record in the follow
ing views: The true interest of publishers
of newspapers requires the adoption of the
system of advance payment, and yet it is
unpleasant for the publisher to enforce such a
rule against names that have been on his
books for years. The only proper way to
do it, is for the subscribers to adopt the
rule themselves, and they will thereby enable
the publisher to give them better paper, and
have the satisfaction of knowing that they
are not in debt for it. There are many
good names upon our boks, some of which
have been familiar for the past thirteen years.
that have fallen somewhat in arrears. We
make these suggestions because it is bad for
both parties, to let such accounts run too
long. In point OF fact this is a dun to deln-
quents, and we hope they will take it kindly,
and enable US 10 issue double sheet for the

BLACK RrcoRD.-The Oregon Legislature

LAUGHING AT THE FENIANs.-The Radi-
Gals already are making fun Of the Fenians
says the Sonoma Democrat, for having plac
ed any confidence in their empty professions
OF love for Irish liberty. Thad. Stevens said
in his late Bedford speech: 81 admit Con-
gress became demagogical in the last hot
days, when all manhood was melted out of
everybody. They did something's to seduce
the Fenians into our ranks" This is plain
enough for all to understand 1t was only,
according to this faceious Darebones of the
Radical Rump, after Congress became dem
agogical,' when "al manhood was melted
cut of every body" that they made bum
combe speeches to "seduce the Fenians." In
other words, if Corgressmen had retained
their manhood and not become demagogues,
they would have scorned to bother their
heads or their mouths about Ireland or Irish
men, So says Thad. Stevens.

A LAKE WITH HOLE IN THE BorToM-Ot-
tawa Lake, in Wbiceford, Monroe county.
Michigan, is about two miles long, half mile
wide, and about forty feat deep, when full in
the deepest part. 1t discharges a largo a.
mount of water in the spring, through its out
let, which forms the north branch of the OF.
tawa creek at Sylvania. This lake has been
nearly dry three or four times within the last
thirty years. At such times a whirlpool is
seen in the centre ioto which cakes of ice and
other floating articlesare drawn in and disap-

A CERTAIN CURE.-Corns are such an

such of our readers as are afflicted by them
will object to our copying the following

and morning. 1t will cause no pain and
produce a certain cure. In five days the
