HARD FIGHT.

The ST. Louis Democrat has the fol-
lowing in relation 10 Gen. Grant, and the
hard fight he will have with the Radical
corruptionists ia and out Of Washing
ton:
Grant has hard fight before him
He drove rebels out of Richmond, but to
drive plundcrcrs out Of Washington is an-
other job altogether. The entrench-
meuts are powerful-as Grant knows
But the people have chosen him TO pro-
iect their interests; to give Us an homes,
and economical administration. He will
do his best TO serve the people in Wash
ington, as he did before Richmond. Bet
the people must sustain him, or he will
fail. And to sustain him, they must be-
Gin TO understand that men who have
been most active or noisy for party are
not always the most disinterestcd when
they reach Washington. We have been
giving attention almost exclusively for
years to the rebellion and its conscqucn-
ces. We have elected many men almost
wholly because of their position on that
issue. Some Of them are statesmen, and
some are not. Some are honest men, and
gome-we may as well admit-care for
nothing but their own interests, 1t will
very soon happen that some Republican
Senators and members of Congress will
begin to fight Grant. And the people
will then know what strength the Wash
ington rings can command, aud mus. be
prepared to discard any man, of either
party, who tries to defeat the President
in his attempts to cleanse the Augean
Stables"

RADICAL SwISDLING.-Hon. Thos
Jenekes, of Rhode Island, says the
New York Herald, is one of those So
Der, cool and talented men of the
House of Representatives, who does
not make exaggerated statements
Well, in a lecture delivered on the
18th of January, at the University
building in New York, he stated that
from his own careful examination du.
ring the last four years the Govern
ment had been defrauded IN the public
service a hundred millions of dollars
year, and that Commissioner Welles
makes the sum still greater. Was
there ever such stupendous frau and
robbery before? A hundred millions
or more year stolen from the Gov
ernment and people, Is it not time
that the Tenure of Office Act should
be repealed and the responsibility OF
a faithful execution of the laws be
placed in the President =? This is an
other expose of Radical perfdy by
Radical hands. Taxpayers, do you
see the cause of your increasing bur
dens +?

THE LOST CHILD.-We mentioned on
Sunday morning that a small boy, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Stipp, in South Salem. had
been lost. The little fellow was not found
until , o'clock Sunday morning. He rer
ceiyed some severe injuries from the frost,
but is now considered out of danger. The
child is about two aud half years old,
and on Saturday afternoon, that being a
pleasant day, il was taken out 10 pay BY
some children older, who played at hide
and-seek until about 4 o'clock, when they
missed the little boy. The older children
ran home and gave the alarm, when the
parents started out to find the little wan.
derer. In this they failed, and abont
dark the alarm was sounded in the city,
and company of about one hundred per-
sons went over and beat about for several
hours, when the all got together aud
formed line, stretching over as much
ground as possible, and made a thorough
search. In this way the company secured
the whole country as far as they thought
possible that the little boy would go, but in
vain. Finally it came to the mind of Mr.
Miller, partner of Mr.. Wesoott, to try their
dog. A hat was shown to the dog which had
been worn by the boy. After smelling
the hat the dog was taken to where
the boy was last seen, when he struck
out, followed by Mr.. Miller. The dog
went much faster than his master, but
when too far ahead he returned again.
In this manner tho track was followed
for mile and half, to within a short
distance from Frebitas Smiths place.
where the dog went into thicket From
this it would not come although his mas
ter used both commands and entreaties.
Finally, Mr. Miller went into the brush
and there, on small pile of sticks, lay
the little wanderer, insensible from the
cold. Mr.. Miller was SO moved at the
suffering of the little fellow, that he
missed the way aud wandered about for
as much as two hours before he got out.
At first the physicians thought the boy
could not live, but by good treatment he
has recovered so that he can talk. His
feet are frosted considerably, and some Of
his muscles will probably slough off. In his
wanderings the boy had waded through
water waist deep. and getting wet contri.

The FIRST PREss.-While looking
over file of the Missionary Herald for
1889, We found mention of the first print.
ing press brought to the northern Pacific
coast. Under date of the third of Nav.
1889, Hall, a missionary printer, writes
to the Herald that he had Just arrived at
Walla Walla from Honolula, with press.
types and small lot of printing paper.
He vas going to start in few days for the
Nez Perces tribe. Some of the edition of
the New Testament, printed on that press.
are ia existence yet. The press and type
were afterwards used by Griffin, of the
Tualatin Plains, in 1849, who during that,
year, published magazine of sixteen
pages every two weeks Uasionist.

We find the following in the Jacl

We find the following in the Jack
sonville Sentinel,
1.-THE Albany Democrat requests the editor
of the Commercial to keep his hands off the
Bible. We were not aware that Demo.
cratic editor ever got near enough to the sa.
cred Book to touch il.
The spirit that prompted the above
sentiment is akin TO that so often
manifested by leading Radicals since
their accession to power. They have
asserted, till their very tongues ought
to be blistered, that Democrats are an
Ignorant immoral, irreligious body of
men; while the Radical party are the
embodiment of all the virtue, and re-
finement and learning, and religion
in the land. They have asserted this
so long, and so vehemently, that many
of the rank and file of the Radical
party believe it is true.
These selfrighteous Radical leaders
arc the Pharisees of the present day.
They lay great claims to tervent piety
and godliness and yet large major
lty of them are guilty of adultery,
fornication, theft, lasciviousness, arson,
sodomy, drunkenness, forgery, covet
BUSINESS, profanity and hlasphemy;-
in short, every crime in the catalogue
of crime. Their religion is merely n
cloak to serve the devil in ;-they are
a generation of vipers ;-brazen-faced
hypocrites sand whited sepulchres
full of rottenness and dead mems
bones. They told tho soldier to 60 to
the war, and they would take care oi
his wife and children; and so they
did, in many instances, with ven.
geance. We know of scores of eases
in the States where, when tho soldier
returned home, MANNED and crippled
for life, he found his wife and daugh'
ters had been dishonorcd and disgraced
by these same red-mouthed, hypocriti'
cal Radical leaders. They boast of a
cock-eyed Butler who stole silver
spoons, and treasure till he is now q
millionaire of Sumner whose wife
left him because, as she alledged land
she ought to know he is lacking in the
chief essential of manhood-mado

A CHEAP BATH.-Sun baths cost
nothing and are the most refreshing,
baths which one can take,
whether sick or well. Every house
keeper knows the necessity Of giving
her woolens the benefit of the sun
from time to time, and especially after
a long rainy season or long absence
of the sun. Many will think of the
injury their clothes are liable to from
dampness, who will never reflect that
an occasional exposure of their own
bodies to the sunlight is equally nee,
essary to their own health. The sun
baths cost nothing, and that is a mis-
fortune; for the people are still delu-
ded with the idea that those things
can only be good or useful which cost
money. Let it not be forgotten that
three of Gods most munifcent gifts
to man-three things most necessary
to good health-sunlight, fresh air
and water-are free to all; you can
have them in abundance, without
money and without price, if you will,
If you would enjoy good health, then
see to it that you are supplied with
pure air to breathe all the time that
you battle for an hour or two in the
sunlight; and that you quench your
thirst with no other fluid than pure

VIOLATION OF THE STAMP ACT.


Our readers have already been in
formed that suits have been commenc-
ed against several of our merchants
for an alledged violation of the Reve-
nue. Law, in selling canned articles in
sufficiently stamped, or not stamped
at oil. Senders, Sternberg & Co., it
is aIledged, are liable to pay penalty
of 1880; J. Gradwohl 5000; Benz.
Brenner 81, 900; L. Fox & Bro, Cor
Wallis, 81 800; A. Lewis 5000; Levy
tE Bros. $500; Friendly & Co.
$1,000; Senders 81 Co. s4,loo; NJ.
Abrams $3.50; Z. Fox & Bro, Al
bany, 81, 200; E. a. Foot & Co. 500.
We have no doubt that in most, if not
all the cases above, the parties were
ignorant of the law relative to the
subject. 1t bothers a lawyer even to
keep pace with the changes made in
the Revenue laws; and if the mer-
chants above named have sold canned
fruits without being properly stamped
they did it through ignorance and not
design. 1t will be very hard if, under
such circumstances, they shall be
made to pay the several penalties
claimed by the informers.
What shall be said of men who
make their living by being spies and
informers ?-men who travel over the
country setting traps for those who
violate the stamp act from sheer igno-
rance? If there is one character in
community whom all good men more
heartily despise than another, it is the
one who gees round as a spy, pimp,
and informer. Many man has re-
oeiyed coat of tar and feathers for
acts far less reprehensible.
But these pimps, these earwIgs,
these vampires, are not the only par
ties at fault in this matter The law
itself is a nuisance. Our Revolution
ary fathers rose in arms against Great
Britain-staking their lives, their for
tunes and their sacred honor upon
the result-princlpally because the
mother country stamped the tea they
drank; and yet we, their descendants,
quietly submit to a stamp law an hun
dred fold more annoying and onerous.
The articles which the law requires
should be stamped are almost innu-
merable. A man never knows when
he is safe. Mortgages, agreements,
contracts, deeds, wills, notes, receipts,
bills of lading, drafts, orders, bonds,
assignments, ambrotypes, checks,
cards, certificates, anodynes, snuffs,
bitters, chemical preparations, cor
dials, cosmetics. dentrifces, glycerine,
lotions, perfumery, pills, tonics, YER
mifuges, ointments, pastes, drops, wa
teFs, essences, spirits, hair oil, pomade,
extracts, powders, tinctures, troches,
lozenges, syrups, plasters, liniments,
salves, letters of administration, let
tiers of credit, power of attorney, pro-
bate of wills, and thousand and one
other things, each and all have to be
stamped; and the stamps, when used,
must be Cancelled By the person afix-
ing them, by writing the initials of
his name and the date thereon, or by
such other method as the Commission
er of internal Revenue may, in his
wisdom, prescribe.
We repeat: the law itself is nui-
sance and ought to be repealed.

The extensive use Of these watches for the lass

respects is to decide the question a. 70 the real
value Of these time-kscpeTs.
More than 100000 Of these watches arc
now speaking for themselves in the pockets Of the
peoples proof Of their superiority over all others
The superior organization and great extent Of
the CompanJ's Works at Walthnm, enable them
TO produce watches al price which renders com
petition futile, sod those who buy any other
watch, merely pay from rs 10 50 per cent. more
for their watches than is necessary.
We are now selling waltham Watches .. Less
prices in grecnbAeks, than the gold prices before
the var. There il no other manufacture Of apv
kind Ia the United States Of which this can bs
said.
These time pieces combine every improvemsr,
that long experience has proved Of real praetI-
cal use. Having had the refusal Of nearly every
invention Of Matchmaking originating in this
country. or in Europe. only those were finally
adopted which severe testing by most skiIIful AZ
tizans in our works, and long use on the part Of
the public demonstrated TO be essential TO correct

UNION AND AMERICAN.
THE VOICE OF GRIRF.

rugged, toilsome path Of thorns and briers.
OF weary. bleeding feet
peopled with shadows of unreaped desires.
And pleasures incomplete
Land Of unchanging sorrow for the dead,
And bitterness Of life,
Where noble lives by cruel hands are shed,
To win the field Of strife;
Where Pain eternal. like the Alpine SHOWS,
Crowned above men and kings,
Broods dark as night, and from her bosom throws
Her arrows and her stings!
Shall the sweet breath of Summer sweep the
earth,
And make ii smile with flowers.
\ OF leave to man the pestilentiai dearth
OF Overwhelming powers
Behold how Sorrow, wandering through the
world.
Weeps passionate tears Of blood,
And Charity upon the stones is hurled.
Crying aloud for COED
The voice Of Grief piefces the Silent Land,
Where victory is won
Is there no haven past Times dangerous strand,
No 10y beyond the sun
