THE DOVES UPON THE ROOF


The grooming doves
Along the eaFCs send covert looks at me
80 human eyes e'er looked 80 pityingly.
30 lone thou art" their Chances seem % say
So lone, so still, through al the weary day.
Sometimes athwart
window ledge they pass with whirring
The sound INTO my heart sweet solace brings;
And when In answer to my murmured call
pick the crumbs that from my table fall,
THANK thee, Christ,
still best winds Of Heaven are len to
With Sonly plumaged birds for company,
Whose wings may bear them to my garrett
While clicks my needle through the shining
wOoL
Ny tale is old;
A seamstress, tOiiing for her daily bread
For a frnil shelter 10 her ching head,
on silken sheen that mOeks a wretehed fate,
And makes a narrow room more desolate.
Poor and forIorn;
Yet Oft in dreams upo my pallet low
Forgotten all my poverty and woe
! float In fancy 10 the VtOls sound.
My braided hair with sweetest gariands
bound.
Fair, e0mely DANES
Around me press. and bearded knights so gay
With song and lutte the hours chase away:
The faded rose I ding upon the floor,
They cross their swords in fiery contest Ger.
Down TO the lees
Meanwhile drink from pleasures giddyc cup,
ON godlike viands nightly do l sup,
Till pleasure pals upOu my wearied sense.
Slckened I turn from all ~magnihcenee,
And bless my God,
Some happy morn when waking from my
sleep,
That ne'er for folly's sins my eyes need weep,
Content to simply sew the shining wool
And listen to the doves upOn the roof.

A SUBORDINATE clerk in a bank
ing establishment derw the grand
prize in the Russian lottery a month
ago. 1t amounted to $4,000.
IT is estimated that of the popu>
lation of France 100000 persons
are living in the cities, and about 2S,.
100000 in the country.
AMONG the agricultural implies
ments now manufactured in Great
Britain are large numbers of elephant
plows, which are forward by way of
the Mediterranean, the Isthmus of
Suez, and the Red Sea and Indian
Ocean, to Hindostan.
AN English correspondent of the
Revolution says of Mrs. Harriet
Martineau ave were grieved to
learn that severe attack of her
maladay in January last had brought
Mrs. Martineau very low, and that
she had scarcely yet recovered from
the effect of it. She had not this
summer been able, as yet, to go out
on the sunny terrace in front of her
house, but had occasionally sat in
the porch to enjoy the fragrant air,
and all the bird and insect lie around.
WEAKNESS and restlessuess, rather
than actual pain, are the character
istics of her complaint.

A GREAT WRoNo.-The bill pro-
viding for a special term of the Dis.
trict Court for Walla Walla county,
haspassed both Houses of the Legisla,
ture, and having received the sigma
ture Of the Governor, is now a law.
The Court will open on the first Mon>
day, in January, and is limited to a
session Of three weeks. Apart from
the Inconvenience of holding term
of Court in the dead of winter, at a
time when farmers more than any
other are required to be at home,
this special term will impose an addi-
Fional tax upon the county the aggre'
gate of which will not be a penny
less than $4,000. For years we have
been struggling to get the county out
of debt, but just at time when we
begin to see daylight ahead, here
comes the Legislature with an enact
ment that postpones the extinguish'
ment of the debt for at least another
year, and imposes an additional bur,
den upon the shoulders of tax pay
ers. What makes this action worse
is the fact that not a single request
had gone from the people of the First
Judicial District asking that spec
ial term be held. Without prompt
ing from the people, and in defiance
of their wishes, the law has been en-
acted, and all that remains for the
taxpayers is to foot the bill. The
men who father this outrage viii
find that they have hung milestone
around their necks that will sinh
them so low that line and plume
will never find them.

DIVISION OF THE CoUNTY.-A highly
respectable citizen, living on the Tou'
chet, informs US that not one in ten Of
the settlers living in that part OF the
county favor the division. He says that
the whole plan originated with Ander>
SOD Cox, who has been working at it for
months, and that its purpose is to SO.
cure political power. Cox calculates
that he can control the new county,
and with the influence thus obtained
he will be able TO secure the appoints
ment Of Governor; or, better still, a
Congressional nomination. Even the
radicals oppose the measure, but are de-
TERED from a free expression of opinion
by fear they have of Cox's dictation.
The great objection to the division is on
the score Of expense, and the fact that
there is no present necessity for the
separation. Ar present our taxes foot
up sixteen mills on the dollar for coun-
ty purposes, and with the proposed di.
vision they are most likely to double
up. The part that is cut off will have
TO bear the expense of erecting a new
court house and Jail, aud that which
remains will have to bear the whole
burden OF the present county lndebt>
edness, and also to meet current ex-
penses, which will not be materially re.
duced BY the creation of the new
county. Instead of sixteen mills on
the dollar for county purposes, we shall
have q tax Of twenty-five or thirty.
Against a measure of this kind good
men Of all parties can unite, and by
concert Of action defeat Cox and his sat
elites in their nefarious purpose.

GROSS OUTRAGE.-On Monday,
the 18th, a scene was enacted in the
Council, at Olympia, that may fairly
be chara cterized as one of the gross.
est outrages in the hi: tory of legis>
lation. The details of this outrage
are about as follows: To give the
radicals full control of the Legisla-
turc, it was necessary that they have
another member of the ConDcil. A.
]. Trip, the duly elected member
from Clark, Skamania and Clickitat
counties, was absent, but had not res
signed, and as a consequence there
was no vacancy. But this was a
small matter when the radicals had
purpose to accomplish, and accord.
ingly, without declaring Trips seat
vacant, and without ordering an elec>
tion, the radical President of the
Council ordered a man named Josslyn
to be sworn in as a member of that
body. Josslyn's credentials, if he
had any, were never referred to a
committee, he was sworn in without
a vote, and he holds his seat to-day
simply on the order of Mclean, who
had no authority whatever to make
the order. The radical rumps in
Congress have never hesitated about
outraging both law and precedent
when they had purpose 10 serve,
but it has been left to the rumps in
the Washington Territory Legislature
to improve upon even their bad ex>
ample. 1t is due Messrs. Blinn and
Clarke, republican members of the
Council, to say that they protested
against this outrage, but their hops
esty availed nothing against the ras-
cality of Mclean, Struve and Brad
shaw. In return for his share in this
dirty work it is rumored that Struve
has been promised a Judgeship, to
reach which it seems that he is viii,
ling to stoop to any degradation.

ASHLEY HAS FLoPPED. - An
alarming report comes from Montana
1t is to the effect that Impeacher
Ashley, the Territorial Governor, has
Topped" over to the democracy.
He made speech at Bozeuan City
a few days ago, and astonished the
audience by declaring that be was in
favor of making Montana white
mans government" Probably this
apostacy is due TO The fact that Ash
ley went to Montana to get himself
into the United States Senate, and
Montana has just gone democratic by
1000 majority.

ALASKA ITEMs.-The Alaska
Times urges the establishment of a
Territorial government for that coun-
Try, to take the place of the present
military rule. It urges that civil
would be cheaper than military rule,
and vastly more 10 accordance with
American ideas. Speaking of Alas,
ka, we add that Gen. Thomas reports
adversely to the country, and regards
it as a useless acquisition. He says
it always was an expensive outpost
for Russia, and thinks the United
States will find it little better. The
people in Alaska are suffering for
want of fresh beef. The editor of
the Times has not tasted fresh beef
for over six months, and says that
" it will seem like an angelic vision
of the happy land when he does get
taste of the delicious morsel. "
What would the fellow say to a
Walla Walla steak he would think
he was caught up to the seventh
heaven at once. The Government
buildings at Sitka have been i'm
proved and adorned until now the
place looks hundred years younger
than it did two years ago. Thirty
convict soldiers had arrived at Sit
ka, to serve out their terms of penal
service. The people of Sitka pro.
test against their settlement being
converted into a Botany Bay. The
general tone of the paper from which
we compile the above is despondiug,
aud the conclusion at which we ar.
rive is, that in purchasing Alaska
the goTsFnment got big thing on
ice.

No Discussion. - The World
says the Democratic State Convention
(New York. has assembled, conclud,
ed its labors, submitted a ticket and
a platform to the people for their
approval. The quarrel between the
different interests of the party, which

posed ofmen who have the confidence

MocKlNG RELIGIoN.- radicals lay

and yet when they have the power they
insult not only the decency but the re

member who listens to him knows that
his prayer is the sheerest mockery. This
insult to religion, offered too in the

four or FIVE ministers, any one of whom
would gladly take the position of Chap.
