Ascent Of Mount Heed.

{ An Oregon correspondent of the Springfield
Republican gives An account of two recent as
ssnts of Mount Hood. A clergyman who
WAS with the Arst party writes: e
"The summit Of the mountain 10 q circular
ridge Of three or four hundred yards in length,
having its outward curve to the north On this
ridge there are three or four sminences rising
few feet above the average Of the ridge. The
highest Of these il the one to the east though
it il only few feet higher than the Others We
passed along the entire ridge and over all these
elevations. The snow upon them was from six
to ten feet in depth, and only in one place did
single rock project through it. This was the
extreme summit of the highest point of the
ridge. On this rock, covering them with .
large fragment broken from it, we left as me-
mentoes Of our visit two Pacific Christian Ad-
vocstes Of July n, 1866, with the names of the
parties written upon them, and some pieces of
0lyer. SAL + TJ1 EkJ JOE a-t
Professor A. Wood describes the second OK
opedition: AsssS ~ Ab&A
1--WE havs scaled tho summit ofNount Hood.
Owing to the warm weather and the advanced
season, immense chasns in the snow have
formed, rendering our journey exceedingly
psrilOus and difficult. The grand result Of this
expedition ID the measurement OF the noun
tain. Mount Hood stands unrivalled among
the mountains Of North America. BY an inn
proved method, viz: the boiling water and
thermometer, we ascertained its height to be
seventeen thousand six hundred and forty feet
shove the level Of the sea (for the thermometer
stood ut $50 degrees in hollow forty feet be-
low the pinnnacls.) Our two barometers
failed to indicate the enormous height, one for
its short graduations, the other for its short
spring. The former made an entire revolution
upon the dial, and its indications will be here
after computed. The mass of the mountain is
volcanic Lava and ashes. There is crater yet
open and constantly emitting sulphurous vap-
or. Glaciers are there also, as on Mount
Blanc, composed of clear blue ice, gradually
sliding down tho awful ravines. The fora is
exceedingly interesting, almost purely Alpine.
We gathered specimens Of more than thirty
species peculiar to the mountain, many Of
which are new to science" - Ilft

BEAUTIFUL PAINTHNa.--We desire to call the.
attention of lovers of Art in this city to the
fine painting now on exhibition at the apothe-
cary store of Messrs. A. G. Sch lotterbeck &
Co. SOB Congress street. 1t is the work OF our
townsman, Mr.. j. B. Hudson and represents
the view Of Mt. Desert as it is seen from Mount
Lookout. The most noticeable point in tho
picture is the combination Of the characteris-
tics of ocean and mountain scenery, the broad
expanse of water in the background cut sharp
ly by the interposition of the mountain in the
middle distance. 1t is an afternoon effect, and
all students Of nature know that the, water il
more deeply blue at that time. The scenery is
wild and romantic and has been very skillfully
managed, the foliage, and the peculiar color 81
tae rocks in that region are rendered with
much truthfulness, and the slant sunlight tall
ing on one side Of the picture, while the other
remains in deep shadow, produces striking
effect. No one should lose an opportunity Of
pausing to admire this fine work of art. q ia
Welearn with pleasure that Mr. .Hudsonis soon
to have a Lew and more commodious studio,
and that he will devote 80 much of his time as
he is able to spare from painting and designing
to the instruction of pupils in the 'serene and
silent art" .-- ...,,,.f.-l- --15l

THE SECOND LECTURE.

MR.. CAUDLE HAS BEEN AT A TAVERN WITH
FRIEND, AND ''Is ENOUGH TO POISON woMAN''
WITH ToBACCo-sMoKE.
'I'm sure don't know who'd be poor
woman! don't know who'd tie themselves
up to a man. if they knew only half they'd
have to bear. A wife must stay at home, and
be drudge, whilst a man can go anywhere.
It's enough for wife to sit like Cinderella by
the ashes, whilst her husband can go drinking
and singing at tavern. You neUer sing? How
do know you never sing It's very well for
you to say so; but if could hear you, | dare
say you're among the worst of 'em.
''And now, | suppose, it will be the tavern
every night If you think I'm going to sit up
for you, Mr.. Caudle, you're very much mis-
taken. No: and Pm not going to get out of
my warm bed to let you in, either. No: nor
Susan sha'n't sit up for you. No: nor you
sha'n't have a latch-key. Pm not going to
sleep with the door upon the latch, to be muir
dered before the morning
"Faugh Pahl Whewgh That filthy
tobacco-smolie It's enough to kill any decent
woman. You know | hate tobacco, and yet
you will do it. You don't smoke yoWSeJF What
OF that If you go among people who do
smoke, you're Just as bad, or worse. You
might as well smolle-indeed, better. Better
smoke yourself than come home with other
peoples smoke all in your hair and Whlskers'
81 never knew any good to come to a man
who went to tavern. Nice companions he
picks up there Yes people who make 1t a
boast to treat their wives like slaves, and rum
their families. There's that wretch, Harry
Prettyman. See what he's come to. He
doesn't now get home till two in the morning;
and then in what a state He begins quarrel
ing with the doOr-mat that his poor wife may
be afraid to speak to him. A mean wretch
But don't you think PIl be like Mrs. Pretty

best man that ever trod. You'll not make me
afraid to speak to you however you may

you won't.

there's no doubt of that; yes, sweet little
angel! Tve made up my mind to lose her,
noD. The child might have been saved but
people can't save their children and throw
away their five pounds too.
81 wonder where poor little Nopsy is?
While you were lending that five pounds, the
dog ran cut Of the shop. You know | never
let it go into the street, for fear it should be
bit by some mad dog, and come home and bite
all the children. 1t wouldn't now at all
astonish me if the animal was to come back
with the hydrophObia, and give it to all the
family. However, what's your family to you,
so you can play the liberal creature with five
poundsl
'Do you hear that shntter, how it's banging
to and fro? Yes, | know what it wants as well
as you; it wants new fastening. / was
going to send for the blacksmith to-day, but
now it's out of the question:: Ro1D it must bang
of nights, since you've thrown away five
pounds.
'Hal there's the SCOT falling down the Chin
ney. If hate the smell of anything, it's the
smell of SCOT. And you know it; but what are
my feelings to you! ,Stoeep the chimney! Yes,
it's all very fine to say sweep the chimney;
but how are chimneys to be swept--how are
they to be paid for by people who don't take
care of their five pounds!
"Do you hear the mice running about the
room! hear them. If they were to drag only
you out of bed it would be no matter. Set a
trap for them! Yes, it's easy enough to say set
trap for 'em. But how are people to afford

pounds?

stairs. 1t wouldn't at all surprise me if there
were thieves i'll the house. Well, it may be
the cat, but thieves are pretty sure to come in
some night. There's wretched fastening to
the back door; but these are not times to
afford bolts and bars, when people won't take
care of their five pounds.
''Mary Anne ought'to have gone to the den
lists tomorrow. She wants three teeth taken
out. Now, it can't be done. Three teeth that
quite disfgure the child's mouth. But there
they must stop, and spoil the sweetest face
that ever was made. Otherwise, she'd have
been a wife for a lord. Now, when she grows
up, who'll have her? Nobody. We shall die,
and leave her alone and unprotected in the
world. But what do you care for that?
Nothing; so you can squander away five
pounds"
"And thus comments Caudle, according
to my wife, she-dear sOul!--couldn't have a
satin gown; the girls couldn't have new bon
nets; the water-rate must stand Over Jack
must get his death through a broken window;
our fire insurance couldn't be paid, so that we
should all fall victims to the devouring ele-
ment; we couldn't 60 to Margate, and Caroline
would go to an early grave; the dog would
come home and bite us all mad; the shutter
would go banging forever; the SCOT would
always fall; the mice never let us have wink
Of sleep; thieves be always breaking in the
house, our dear Mary Anne be forever left an
unprotected mad--and with other evils falling
upon us, all, all because would go on lending
five pounds!"

MRS. CAUDLES CURTAIN LECTURES.

We to-day commence the republication of
the famous "Caudle Lectures" These humor-
Ous papers originally appeared in the London
Punch, about the year 1S4S, and were begun
by Laman Blanchard one of the first and most
prolific writers to that humorous and satirical
periodical. Blanchard worked on Punch in its
infancy, close and hard, along with its manag-
ing editor, Mark Lemon, assisted by Gilbert
A'Beckett and the Brothers Mayhem, with the
additional assistance of an occasional outside
contribution. After Punch was able to extend
the Midas wand Of fS. and d., the genii sprang
to its assistance without stint. Among the
favored of the second class were Douglas Jer-
rold, Tom Hood, Angus B. Reach, Albert
Smith, and others.
OF the originator of the Curtain Lectures"
Laman Blanchard, little is recorded. His
literary life was as short as brilliant-con-
densing into dozen working years the labor
of an ordinary lifetime. Of his private char
acter we can say that he lived life wholly
unlike his "Mr. Caudle )" for in his family
Blanchard was peculiarly blessed. His ''wife
and children three" were the centre of his
attraction, as he was of theirs. The antithess
is continued in the fact that, while he made
his thousands laugh, he himself seldom smiled.
Like Cowper, though he wrote his "JOhn Gil
pins' every week, at so much column, he
went through the world as though he owed an
apology for being in it.
One Sabbath evening, after talking with his
family as he was wont, he retired to his library
to end his life by suicide.
The "Caudle Lectures had become so
popular that Punch could not afford to lose
them, and Blanchard's friend and fellow
laborer Douglas Jerrold took them up and
continued them until, by common consent,
they were reckoned finished. How well the
task was done by Jerrold, the reader himself
will determine.
We may add, as regards Punch, that, with
the exception of Mark Lemon, its founders,
Blanchard, Hood, JOrrold, Smith, and Leech
(he artist), are all gone.

''You ought to be very rich, Mr.. Caudle. /

it is; a wife may work and may slave! Ha,

done with five pounds. As if people picked
