ANOREGoN CouRTsHIp.-.A char

AN OREGON CoURTsHIP.--A char
acter in a well-known play says :
-"I never respect a man halt so
much as after 1 have fought with
him." There is a good deal Of
human nature in the remark. An
incident, illustrating the same
principle, occurred lately in Ore
gon. A country schoolmaster
near Corvallis undertook to chas-
tise one Of his pupils, a large girl,
endowed with good health and
plenty of muscle. A long and
spirited contest ensued, the result
Of which was awaited with breath
less interest by the entire school.
The teacher finally reduced the
spunky girl to subjection, but on
ly after a gallant struggle on her
part. The conflict, however, in
spired them with such a mutual
respect for each other, that few
days after they were married.
We don't admire the Oregon style
of courtship.

Of the Bellefontaine and Indian

sank with it.. All the trains have
been obliged to stop, and the track

That day so long ago,

The waves sang ON the shore;
Such suns will shine, such waves will sing
Forever, evermore.

And so in earnest play
The hours few past, until at last
The twilight kissed the shore; trt..-.
Wesaid '.Such days shall come again
Forever, evermore."
One day again, no cloud of pain !,
A shadow o'er US cast, ~
And we sirove in vain, in vain,
To conjure up The past;
Like, but tunli Ike the sun that shone,
The waves that beat the shore,
The words we said. the songs we sung,
unlike--eyermore
For ghosts unseen crcp. in between,
Aud, when ouI songs flowed free,
Sang diseords III an undertone,
And ,marrcd the harmony.

Though like the same are not the same,

Man Choked under Start.
ling Circumstances.

Yesterday, a German named Ca
dell was engaged to do some work
in a butcher shop in Market
square. While SO engaged, o
neighbor came and asked why he
had not returned a hatchet be had
borrowed from him d few days be-
fore. Cadell replied that he had
returned it. This the neighbor
denied, Notwithstanding Cadeh's
protestations that he had done so-
Cadell grew considerably excited
over the accusation, and after some
words with the neighboF, said very
loudly: "Ildid bring it back to
you the very night got it, and 1
hope God will choke me with this
piece of meat If | didn't AT the
same time he placed in his mouth
a piece of raw beef, which with
out chewing he bolted. The beef
evidently lodged in the mans
windplpe, Tor at once he began to
gasp, as if for breath, and to grow
black in the face. A number of
people gathered about, but none
Of them seemed able to render the
man any assistance, and it seemed
as though he would die in earnest.
Somebody had the presence of
mind to run to the Police Station,
and officer Mcdonald went down.
He opened the mans mouth, using
considerable force to 90 SO, and
running his fingers down his throat
pulled out the meat. A showerEef
cold water brought him to, but he
had about as close an escape from
death as one would wish for. AS,
he came to his senses again, Cadell
looked at his neighbor, and in
most sorrowfui tone said, II did
bring back your hatchet.p The
neighbors concluded that he had,
done so.-Mtl,cauhee Wisconsin,.

A crazy man placed an iron bar
across the track Of the New Ha-
ven Railroad a few days ago, in
obedience, as he said, to the Lord,
who told him the train would stop.
The next day he stood on the
track and let the engine strike
him. He was injured but not
killed. Again he asserted that
the Lord told him that if he stood
in front Of the engine it would
stop.

"Them" Sardines.

Not a great while ago, a Wes,
tern landlord, somewhat noted for
his blunders, took it into his head
to get up ball at his tavern"
AS he intended to do the thing up
brown, and have everything on the
big augur plan, he fancied that a
few ..Store fixtures" would be a
great addition to the bill of fare of
pork and turkey. He therefore
made inquiry OF his friends and
found that the only delicacy in
market at that season OF the year
was sardines. His chirography,
however, was SO bad as tc make it
read, '-two dozen boxes syringes.p !
The night of the party came, and
as supper time drew near, the land
lord looked anxiously down the
street for the appearance OF the
stage which was to bring the prln-
cipal dish on the bill. At Inst 1t
arrived and with it package for
the expectant landlord. Directly
there was a great outcry, and a
sound of cursingin the bar room.
The entire party rushed out to see
what was the matter, and there
stood boniface, as mad as a turkey
cock, putting and blowing with
rare. "See there" said he, ''see
there!' Isent to Dubuque for two
dozen boxes of sardines Tor supper,
TO night, and the cussed fool sent me
twenty-three boxes OF them pew
Ter squirt guns, and says that's
all there was in the market"

THE VALUE OF ADVERTISING -
The value Of a liberal system of
advertisingis strikingly illustrated
in the results Of the annual meet
ings of the admiration societies
in honor OF the Pilgrim Fathers
of Plymouth Rock. They have
thus become known all over the
world as the first settlers of every
State in the Union, Sir Walter
Raleigh, Captain John Smith, and
all other anti Puritan pioneers to
the contrary Notwithstanding
Nothing like leather, says the

tising says thes Pilgrim Fathers,
and we respond nothing like ad-
vertising. s t5t-leE1 lss 7a1i

There has recently been a new

medical science, whereby, the ad-
vsrlisements say, a diseased organ
dis made to assume its natural po-
sition by vibrative positive forces,
magnetically supplied from two
powerful magnetic -moters, causing
the muscles and ligaments to con
tract or expand, or hold in equili-

of life after man ought to have
been dead. In one ofthe hydraul-

then turned round and invested
them with the power to legislate

A Paris paper tells a funny sto-

u ~
ry about the Siamese twins. 1t is
totbe effect that they lived together
in great happiness until the war
broke out, when Chang declared
himself a Unionist, Eng a Seces-
sionist, and the quarrels between
them became SO violent that the
twins were at one time on the
point of fighting duel. And
this is supposed to be the reason
of their desire to- find a surgeon
with nerve and skill enough to
dissolve the partnership between
them.

Saved from Death.

Tn General Hills magazine,
"The Land We Love-" the follow.
ing incident is published, commu-
nicated by surgeon in the rebel
army, now residing at st. Louis
Gin December, 1864, when a
part of the army of the Potomac
was in quarters at and around
Dumtries, DR.. Estell and myself,
surgeons of the "0ld Third Brig
ade," were requested by Capt. In
boden to visit his battery for the
purpose of examining young
man who had been convicted of
dpsertion on the battlefield of
Manassas. The youth, as stated,
belonged to a highly respectable
family, was well educated, and
had borne a fair character for
bravery and general good con-
duct. When we arrived at the
camp, the Captain remarked that
the penalty of being shot as de-
serter wonld have to be sunmari-
ly executed unless some very good
reason could be shown for his re-
prieve; and we were conducted
Immediately to a tent, i'll which
he was confined. The boys ap.
pearance was that OF a healthy,
Sine looking youth, about nineteen
years old, writhing under the pain
of disgrace. and greatly depressed
by the near approach of an awful
doom. We entered into conversa-
ton with him. and found him to
be very intelligent and perfectly
free in the confession of his guilt.
On being asked the reason OF his
desertion at so critical a time, he
remarked that while the battle
was going on, lie was suddenly
seized with such trepidation and
blindness that he fell unconsci-
ously to the ground, where be re-
mained till his comrades passed
on. Finding himself alone and
still so frightened that his heart
was painful and ready to burst, he
made his escape from the field as
best he could In reply to our
question, he stated that his heart
had never failed him before that
time, but that it had given him
much trouble since. We btred
his chest, and, on careful exam
ination, found his heart most pal
pably laboring under organic dis
ease, sufficient to incapacitate any
man to withstand the shock of
battle. tAe
''As we passed out through the
door of the tent, we observed,
sitting on camp stool near the
Captain, a well-dressed, delicate
lady in black, weeping, with her
head leaning forward and her
face covered by a large veil, ex-
hibiting all the signs of intense
grief. | knew at once who she
was, and | hastened to say to the
Captain,
"'This manis laboring underor-
ganic disease of the heart, and it
is well admitted that a man in that
cannot stand the shock
of BATTLE
"The Captain paused a. mo-
