ANNEXATION MEETING.-Pursuani to the
call in last weeks issue, number of our
citizens met at the court house on Thursday
evening, 26th ult., for the purpose of con-
side-ing the proposed annexation of North>
ern Idaho to Washington Territory. The
meeting was organized by electing DR.. Kel>
ley Chairman, and s. NJ Gillingham Secre,
tary. Mr.. DugAn, of Walla Walla, was
called for, and in an able manner addressed
the audience at some length. In the course
Of his remarks Mr.. D. produced some very
plausible reasons in favor of annexation.
The people of Washington Territory were
in favor of annexation, and the advantages
to be obtained from such a union would be
immense. The taxes could be materially
lessened by such result He thought that
new territory formed out of Northern Ida>
ho and Eastern Washington Territory would
be good Territory geographically, but the
question would be whether the population
and resources would support it. The meets
ing was also ably addressed by Messrs. j.
W. Anderson, S. S. Fem and W. W. Thsyer,
all of whom presented sound arguments in
favor of annexation, but only as means
to finally becoming, (n connection with
Eastern Washington Territory,} territory
of ourselves. Messrs. f. P Dugan, w W.
Thayer, S. S. Fem, of Idaho county, and
VIM. Fl. Hudson, of Shoshone county, were
appointed committee to confer with the
people of Washington Territory in regard
to the matter.-LeWiSton. Journal

Editorial Paragraphs.

THE GRAIN MARKEr.-A fair article OF
spring wheat is now quoted in the San Francis
co market at So 2o@$2 80 per hundred pounds
equal to ST. 35 per bushel. In this market it
is difficult to find sale for the very best wheat at
IS cents per bushel. This is paid in the way of
trade, but when cash is demanded wheat goes off
slowly. If we had any good means of communi,
cation whereby our wheat could reach naviga-
ton at any reasonable cost, this condition of af-
fairs would not obtain; but cut-of as we are,
we are unable to reap any of the advantages from
the high price now ruling in the San Francisco
market. railroad to Wallula would at once
remove all our disabilities, and make Walla
Walla the most prosperous settlement on the
coast Even a macadamized road would serve q
temporary purpose, but with neither of these we
find our graineries stored with grain, for which
there is great demand, and yet unable to get
it to market it is left upon our hands compara-
lively valusless. We cannot conceive of a more
unfortunate condition of affairs, or better cal
cuated to try the patience of people. For q
Pacific Railroad Company as likely to supply
this means of communication, but the slowness
characterizing the movements of that Company
has had depressing effect. Tired of await
ing for others to come to our assistance, it is
possible we may yet take the matter 10 onr own
hands, and make at least good wagon road to
the Columbia. The Greeks had maxim, that
God only aided those who endeavored to help
themselves and on this principle, it might be
we'll to commence the Railroad movement at
home, trusting to foreign capitalists to come to
our assistance. With Railroad to Wallula, this
Valley would blossom like garden, and no peo-
pie under heaven would be more prosperous.

IMPORTANT ELECTIoNs.-The great States of
Pennsylvania and Ohio held their elections on
Tuesday last, and upon the result of the vote
then cast depends, not only the fate Of the rad,
ical party, but the fate of the country. In Ohio,
full State ticket, from Governor down, was to
be chosen. In Pennsylvania, the only State Of
fcer to be elected, was a Supreme Court Judge,
and hence the election will scarcely afford fair
test of party strength. The result of the election
in those two States is looked for with interest,
as upon it will mainly depend the course to be
pursued at the next meeting of Congress. Should
the radicals be sustained we may expect the
impeachment fthe President, and the enforce
ment of all tne extreme measures which have
been foreshadowed by the radical leaders.

FATAL ACCIDENTAL young man named
Allen T. Park, who for the last two years has
been engaged in driving team for H. ]. Cady,
Esq, met with accident on Wednesday morn
ing, the 9th inst, about eleven o'clock, which
cost him his life. The particulars of the acci-
dent, as we obtained them from DR.. ]. W. Hun
ter, the attending physician, are as follows: The
unfortunate man was driving four horse, team
loaded with the running gear of threshing ma
chine, and in turning into lane leading to Mr..
Cady's premises, one of the hind wheels of the
wagon struck against the gate-post, the jar of
which frightened the horses, causing them to
jump forward. With this sudden movement the
coupling of the wagon gave way, letting Mr..
Parks, who was riding in front of the wagon
fall to the ground. As he fell, be was struck
by the "hounds" of the wagon on the back part
of the head, and the whole base of his skull frac>
tured. He also sustained severe injuries about
the breast Two or three men who had been
aiding him in removing the machine, and who
were near by, at once went to his assistance.
On being taken up he was insensible, and sup
posed TO be dying. On being removed to Mr..
Cady's house, DR.. Hunter was Immediately called,
aud after applying the proper restoratives be was
restored to consciousness. On examination, DR..
H. found his head terribly injured, and also in
dications that he had sustained severe inteEpaI
injuries The unfortunate man lived unM 81
o'clock, Thursday morning. at which houFka
breathed his last. As already stated the unfor
tunate man has been in the employ of mr..
Cady for some years. during which time he bad
sustained an excellent character. Mr.. Parks is
single man, aged about 40 years, and is under.
stood to have emigrated from Indiana His fu-
Ieral took place from Mr.. Cady's residence, this
friday morning, escorted by his numerous
friends, whose sad and fearful countenAuces ex-
pressed how deeply they felt their loss

DAY OF AToSENESr.-Our principal business
street, on Wednesday wore a deserted appear
ance. This was owing to the fact that the stores
ofihe lsraelites were all closed in honor of the
day of atonement-the most holy day in the
Jewish calender. The law appointing this day
to be kept sacred, is recorded in Levitcus, chap
ter 23d, and 26th to the 33d verses, where we
read as follows:
"A And the Lord spake unto Moses saying, AL.
so, on the tenth day OF this seventh month there
shdH be a day of atonement; it shall be an holy
conyoeation unto you, and ye shall aflict yonr
souls, and offer an Offering made by fire unto the
Lord. And ye shall do no work in that same day;
Tor 1t IS day of atonement to make an atone
ment for you before the Lord your God For
whatsoever soul be that shall not be afflicted
10 that same day, he shall be cut off from among
his people. Aud whosoever soul 10 be that doeth
any work in that same day, the same soul will |
destroy from among his people Ye shall do no
manner of work; H shall be a statute for ever
throughout YOUR generations in all your dwell
hngs. II shall be unto you a sabbath Of rest, and
ye shall all ct your souls; in the ninth dan of the
month at even, from even to even, shall ye cele-
orate your Sabbath"

FUNDING THE NATIONAL DEBT.-The radicals
perceving that the country is growing restive
under burden of taxation, greater than ever
before was imposed upon any people, are casting
about for means Of relief. In this dilemma Har.
Per's Weekly, an illustrated journal of radical
ism, comes to the rescue, and proposes to fund
the entire debt Mt rate of interest not to exceed
FIVE per cent. 1t says that by making the rate of
interest five per cent, and giving the loan
long time to run, the holders of the present Sc.
curites would generally be willing to convert
their investments into the former. The financial
question is the rock on which the radical ship
is sure to wreck. Committed to a policy that
saddles all the burdens of the Government upon
the poorer classes, and leaves the rich bond
holder unta1ed, it is not strange that the masses
of the people turning their backs upon the
radical leaders and giving ear to the counsels
of wise statesmanship.

He was standing on the corner,

And he watched the dressy damsels,
AS they watlcd DER the street:
From his mouth came inuendoes,
And his eyes were opened wide, .
As on tiptoe they came dancing
Der the muddy, sloppy tide,
When a lady and her daughter,
Stepping carefully along,
Closely yelled from street inspection,
Heard his Shiny, venomed tongue;
Then the little wells were lifted,
And with shame his head he hung,
For his mother and his sister
Thus had struck the speaker dumb.

TESTIMONIALS FROM CELEBRATED La
DIES:
The sesret of identifying the skin being known
only to Nessrs. Jared d Rene, they honestly state
that it differs from all other preparations. 1t
gives to the most harsh and freckled skin both
the color and texture of polished ivory, removing
all discolorations whether appearing as freckles,
tan, morphew, moth, or black-worm specks, and
is especially successful in smoothing out the
marks left by Smallpox.
The agents of "l.'.Email de Paris" most con-
fidently submit to the public the earnest endorse
ments of such distinguished ladies as
Signora Ristori, Mile Felicia Vestva-
ii, Miss Maggie Mitchell, Mrs. ID. p.
Bowers, Lucille Western, Mad.
POnisl, Mrs. Emma Waller,
Lucy Rushton, Noemie de
Marguerrittes, Miss
49, Agnes Perry,
and many others, whose high standing in the
profession gives the stamp OF truthfulness to
their intelligent and genuine approval.
The Beautiful Lucille Western says:-
;. find that the "Email" y produces all the bril-
and peculiar advantages of perfect harmlessness.
1t really adds to the softness and beauty of the
skin. ---..-
The Magnificent Vcstyali says -
have suffered so much from the various white
lotions, &C., which my theatrical profession OBJ
lges me to use, that consider it perfect bene-
faction to find preparation which gives the ne
cessary whiteness to the slln and leaves the skin
cool and smooth.
Miss Maggie Mitchell says
I have tried the skin beautihcr, az Email de.
Paris" and found that it instantly imparts
natural bloom and freshness to the complexion.
''Jared Email de Paris is used as delicate
beautifer of the skin for Theatre, Saloon or Ball
Room by the most refined and scrupulous ladies;
producing all the Identifying effects of rouge and
white, without their vulgar glare or injury to
the skin.
