Grant Exploded.

The result OF the elections that have
taken place since Grant became a candid
ate for President has shown that whatcy-
er else may happen, he stands no chance
of being elected unless the negroes vote
for him. White men have already deci-
ded the contest against him. The N. w.
World. in an article summing up the re-
suit of the recent elections and the pros
poets Of Grant, snys:
g In good truth, the iancied prestige of
Gen. Grant is pretty we'll exploded. He
has never been popular either with the
army or the people. When he travels no
crowds throng the stations to see him.
When he appears in public places, no
cheers break forth to testify the public en-
thusiasm. Nothing that he writes is read
with any interest There is nothing in
his military career which awakens any
warmth of personal admiration. He has
never been in the thick of a fight; has
never led a charge; has never chival-
rously exposed his person to danger; has
never spoken word of sympathy to the
wounded soldier, or sent a feeling letter
of coincidence to bcreaved wife or moth
err. He never made an electric address
to his sol .iers on the eve of battle. There
is nothing noble or admirable in his per-
sonal appearance and bearing. How
should such man inspire enthusiasm
The most that can be said in his favor is
that he won important successes by q
prodigal expenditure of life. But as he
was q very commonplace, ungenial man
in civil life before he went into the war,
so he is very commonplace man when
he shrinks back to his natural size now
that the war is over. Is It any wonder
that he brings no strength to the repub-
lican ticket THAT nobody has followed
him into the republican party p

BY verbal reports from different par.
ties. we gather the following particulars
OF the capture Of large baud Of Snake
Indians, and a prospect Of peace in the
upper country.
Som, time about tho latter part of last
week, party of soldiers that had been
sent TO escort man and his family to
Shasta, on their return to their camp,
came upon a band Of Indinrs, some 40
to 60 miles from Shasta ON the Malheur
river, surrounded thcm aud Immediately
dispatched a messenger for REINFORCE
ments to Camp Warner, some 60 miles
distant They promptly arrived aud the
chief of the several bands Of that region
surrendered the camp, some ~ ia mum.
Der, including Indians and squaws, old
and young
The chief stipulated that they should
not be bound nor taken to Fort Boise
They delivered up their arms, aud about
100 head of stolen horses. The chief
signifed his Willingness TO take his people
upon reservation in the region OF Har.
ney Lake, aud on his promise TO bring in
to camp all Of his followers, he was far
nished horse by John Creighton, and
given ten days in which to gather them.

another on the Weiscr river and another

last Is propably the band the killing Of
which was published iu our last, and Of
which the chief was probably ignorant.

killed. Word was sent into Shasta for
owners of lost stock to come out 10 camp
and get il.

claimed To have killed Mira. Denoillc

them her bones. mud the manner Of kill.
ing her. Tier head was laid upon rock
aud smashed with another. II was TOO
much for the men to bear. aud the Indian
was shot on the spot.

We learn By our Washington CORES.
pondence that Mr. Pengra has become
satisfied Of the impossibility Of securing
Congressional aid for branch railroad to
tap the great pacific trunk by the way of
Diamond Peak. meeting With the opposi-
ton OF our whole delegation, and with
that other citizen in Washington, he has
started back in disgust. We also have
the bill of Mr. Mallory, asking for assist
ance for branch road to run through
Rogue river and Umpqua valleys-cross
the cascade range bordering on the east
of this valley. pass through The Link riv-
or settlements, aud continue by Surprise
valley to the line of the Pacific Railroad.
As the typographical character of the
country from Ashland TO the head Of the
Willamette valley is Of such character,
that the aid asked for might conflict with
the Oregon Central, the bill provides fol
the consolidation Of the two companies
from such point where conflict might en-.
sue. The effect of the bill will be to
grant additional aid TO the Oregon Cen.
trail until it reaches this valley, or per.
haps the klamath Basin, and assist 10
pushing the work TO speedy completion
The Oregon Central will end at the State
boundary, and lateral branch from il
10 the Pacific road would certainly force
the completion Of the California and
Oregon road in order 20 reap some of the
advantages that will certainly be gained
by Us. We have strong hope that the
bill viii become q law, perhaps at the
present session, and if il does. We may
soon expect an industrial activity not
heretofore experienced in Oregon. II
the Government can be induced TO be
stow half the sum per mile, necessary tc
build il, We candidly believe that in ten
years il would save that amount in trans
portation Of supplies, munitions Of war
and mails, besides having aided our young
State to population and wealth. With.
out such aid we cannot expect but little
prosperity; and we believe that Congress
is called upon, not only by duty, but b,
interest. to give it speedily.-Jacksoa

Angling FOR q Dog.
]" Brick Pomeroy tells the followin

Brick " Pomeroy tells the following
good dog story:
One time We were travelling on grounds
We had no right to tramp over. The
only excuse was like that of military ne
cessity-it was better fishing through
farms where tho trout had been preserv-
cd than in the open lot where all could
fish,
It was carly morning, we had risen at
three, ridden ten miles, and struck the
creek as the trout were ready for break
fast. Locking carefully for sheltered
place to hitch our horses, We slyly crept
on behind fences, etc., till we reached
that part Of the stream not generally
fshed. a farm house stood a quarter Of a
milo away. We saw the morning smoke
curling lightly from stove pipe ; saw .
man and two boys Come out to do chores;
saw woman busy about the door, and q
ferocious bull dog wandering about the
yard.
IF we ever ished close, It mas then
not whisper to disturb the birds or the
owuers Of the land. We crawled through i
the grass and lodged behind dumps Of

THINos A WOMAN CAN'T Do.-A
lady writer who is slightly disposed to
turn traitor TO her sex, states that there
arc three things women can't do--the
most important admission that has been
extorted from hor sex since Madame Eve
ate the apple. Hear the following open
confession.
First, she can't sharpen lead pencil.
Give her one and see. Mark how jag
gedIy she hacks away every particle Of
wood around the lead, leaving an unsup-
ported spike of the latter, which breaks
Immediately when used. You can almost
forgive the male creature his compassion
ate contempt of chucking her under the
chin, as he witches it from her awkward
little paw, and rounds and tapers il in
the most ravishing manner, for durable
use. I wish to hear no more on that
point, because when | once make up my
mind g oil the Kings men can't change
it.
Well, then, secondly-A woman can't
do up bundle She takes whole
newspaper to do up paper of pins, and

undone at that. When I go shopping, I
look on with the fascinating gaze of a
bird in the neighborhood of magnetic
serpent, to watch clerks do up bundles.
How the paper falls just into the right
crease, how deftly they turn it over, tuck
it under, and tic it up, throw it down up
upon the counter as if they had done the
most common thing in the world, instead
Of ! deed which might, and ii faith does
task ingenuity Of angels I" It is per-
fectly astonishing.
Thigdly-I may allude to the fact that
q woman can't carry an umbrella, or rath-
er to the very peculiar manner in which
they perform that duty but / wont.
When they unfurl the parachute alluded
to, they putt down over their noses, take
the middle of the sidewalk, raking off
mons hats and women's hunnets as they
20, and walking right into the breakfast
Of sone wight, with that disregard Of
consequent disgust, which to be under
stood must be felt, as the offender crooks
up one corner Of the parachute and looks
de6antly at the victim who has sthe effron-
terry TO come into tho world and hazard

( the water till our basket vas full.

Of the water till our basket was full.
This was the time to have gone, but
the trout bit 80 readily that We could not
Withstand the temptation, so We decided
to ssring and hide what we had, and take
~ her basket full. So at it We vent.
No sooner would the hook touch the wa
ter than We had trout. We forgot the
house, the boys, and the dog.
Suddenly there was rushing through
an oat Geld, as if mad bull were coming.
We looked toward the house, and saw the
farmer and his two boys on the fence, the
woman 10 the door, and the bull dog com.
ing toward Us. We saw it ALIVE had
been discovered. The we'll trained dog
had been sent to hunt rs out, and as the
matter appeared, it was safe to bet he was
doing that thing right lively,
To outrun dog was not to be thought
Of There was no time to lose. He clear
cd fence and came for us just as We
reached tree, and, by great activity,
took front seat on limb above his
reach.
Here was precious go. A vicious
bull dog under the tree, and farmer and
two big boys ready to move down upon
our works. 1t was fight, footrace, or
fangs.
The farmer yelled to his dog-"Watch
him, Tige."
Tige proposed to do that little thing,
and keeping his eye on us, seated him.
self under the tree.
Then spake this ugly farmer man
"Just hold on thar, stranger, till We
get breakfast then we'll come and see
you. II you arc in a hurry, however,
You can go now. Watch him, tige."
We surmised trouble, quite much; for
twice had that bold man Of bull dogs and
agriculture elegantly walIoped innocent
tourists for being seen on his suburban
premises. His reputation as peace man
was not good, and there arose large
heart toward our throat.
Time is the essence of contracts, and
the saving ordinance for those in trouble.
We had stout line in our pocket, and .
large hook intended for rock bass If We
failed to take trout. And as good luck
would have it, we had nice sandwich
and piece of boiled corn beef in our
pocket.
We called the dog pet names, but he
wasn't on it, Then we tried to move
down, when he'd move up. At last We
trebled our bass line, fastened the great
limerick to it, baited with corn beef, tied
the end Of the line to limb and angled
for dog.
Tige was in appetite. He smelt the
beef it was very nice. He swallowed
it, aud sot still with his eyes upon rs,
but with no friendly look beaming from
his countenance Not any.
Then We pulled gently on the line-it
was fast Tige yanked and pulled, but
twas no use The attention Of the can
inc was diverted from us-his business
was being done by another line
We quickly Slid down the tree-came
near blistefing our back in doing it,
seized our pole, and straightway left
thence somewhat lively.
We found our string of fish, and reach
ed the buggy and commanding spot in
the road in time to see the sturdy yeoman
| move forth.
We saw him and his cohorts, male and
female, move slowly, as if in no haste
We saw them look up the tree. We saw
an anxious group engaged about the dog.
We came quickly home and kindly left
the bass line aud hook to the farmer.
