it calls beautiful American Eagle. -
We looked for it long time, the editor
having excited our curiosity, by saying
f.but few such" had been seen in the South
.sfor the last six years. At last we found
it. but we couldn't see the s.beauty." The
thing looks sickly, has its wings spread
out over pole, with something Ikea dish

and its general appearance indicates dis

not account for the difference between the
Eagles actual appearance and the editors

TO the Farmers of the Valley.

The undersigned appeals in behalf of the
starving people Of South Carelina-his native
State-to the farmers and all other persons
having corn for sale in the Valley and the adj
iacent country, to sell and deliver to him their
surplus corn at the earlest praetaea6le moment;
1t is imperitively necessary that corn should
be gotten to these people at once in order that
thew NAV be saved from actual starvation, as
they failed almost entirely in corn crop them
selves and supplies from other sources are cut
off by the almost unprecedented condition Of
country roads and the interruption of Rail
road communication by the washing away Of
bridges, &c.
This appeal is not for contributions: Ipre-
pose to pay the market price in cash upon the
delivery of the corn, and will hope that a
humane people will not horde up the necessa-
ries of life from their furnishing countrymen.
Much good may be done by the immediate de-
livery Of SO bushels by each farmer, if he
cannot deliver more.

OregoRida asks:
Who would believe the story that Mrs. Lin
coin or any other woman would sell her hus-
bands clothing while his yet unburied body
waslying in the heuse2 Or who believes that
she stoleaand removed the plate belonging to
the White House, and numberless other arti-
Giles of value which had been there ''since the
days of Jeffersen?"
Inasmuch as Thurlow Weed, the Ulysses of
the Radical party, is the author Of the ''cloth-
ing sale story, and it was Thad. Stevens, the
Ajax of that party, who first made public
statement, in Congress, too, of Mrs. Lincoln's
having removed the plate and other articles of
value from the White House, it would seem
thas the 0regonian is not very complimentary
to the conspicuous leaders Of its own party, in
the matter of belief in their statements. It
is imPeaching the vefacity of the Presidents
impeachers.

"Itissno small triumph for Catholics TO note
week by week the progress of the old faith

Whilst the clergy of the Established Church
are disputing whether or not they should wear
vestments, and making public all their internal
sources of sdiscord, the Catholic Church is ex-
tending her influence, and gaining ground in
every part of the country This is no empty
boast. Unaided, save. by resources of her faith
full children, and with nothing whatever in the
way Of funds except the purely voluntary con-
tributions of Catholics already oYertaxed to
support our existing institutions, every week
we have to record either the opening Of some
new church, or the laying of the foundation
stone of what will ere long BIZ a place of
worship of the true faith. Thus, merely look
ing over the files for the past month, we find
1t recorded that new church was opened at
Egton Bridge, in Yorkshire; another at Bur-
w-in-Furness Lancashire; third at DON
caster; fourth at st. Heher's, Jersey; and a
fifth at KilcOck in Ireland. During the same
period new missions have been opened at Hoo
tan, Chesire; at Maidenhead; at Chelsea and
in Cover street, London; whilst the corner
stone Of new church has been laid at Ac-
crington, near Stafford, in Lancashire. Prepa-
ratlOns for building a new cathedral at Sligo
have been commenced, new schools have been
opened at Bradford, new community of nuns
have taken up their residence at Albion Hill,
near Glasgow, the foundation stone for new
Honae for Penitents has been laid.'

gor Wig gives reported the trial and de-
cision of a case before The Supreme Court in
Auburn, Me-, Judge Walton presiding, declar-
ing drinking clubs illegal The party charged
was indicted as common seller, and it APP
peared in evidence that the drinking club, of
which he was the agent, was organized only a
few days before the police fell upon it, and in
that time its members had increased to some
thing over twenty. The club was governed
by constitution, the terms of membership
being these: By paying one dollar or five dol
lars o. person became recipient of ticket
which admitted him by private key to. the
club room, and to the privileges of the same,
and entitled him in the former case to seven
and the latter to thirtY-seven drinks, indicated
By that number of figures on the ticket. When
a person holding card visited the room the
figures were punched to the extent OF his
drinks BY the ersOn having the room in charge.
When the ticket was used up, another one was
obtained of the person In charge by paying the
ticket fee A clerk or agent was employed to
sell the tickets and receive the pay therefor.
with the proceeds of which he was to keep the
stock of whiskey, ale, cigars and tobacco re-
plenished Judge Walton charged the jury
that if they should find the state of facts adj
mitted by the respondent it would constitute
him, and every one associated with him in the
club, common seHeri under the act Of 1885,
and the jury promptly returned verdict off
guilty.
