The Oregonian says that "it Is
burning disgrace to tho American press
that among its ts'numbers are 10 be found
those who manifest such hyena-like
instincts as have been exhibited in nu-
merous quarters since the death of Ed
win III. Stanton"
Please tell US your opinion of the
Republican press, in pouring out the
vials of its yituperation upon the dead
Chief Justice Taney and in heeping
its malignant abuse upon Sam Medary.
We deprecate the language quoted by
the Oregoniaa and attributed to Ten
nessee paper because it is not becom-
ing public print under any circum-
stances. Stanton should be spoken
Of however just as nc is. Those who
have Witnessed his awful crimes against
liberty, or have suffered his tyranny
can find enough to sag of him without
extenuating or setting down aught in
malice.
We are glad that the Oregonian has
learned that indecent reyilenlent of
the dead is burning disgrace 10 the
American press. We are only sorry
that the lesson has been deferred 60
long and only learned now by little
experience. And this remind Us of a
harsh adage, which we don't say has
any application - this matter.

SHALL WE NOMINATE A Sen.
ATOR :

We ask the attention of the Democ-
racy Of Oregon to the propriety of
nominating a candidate at the State
Convention for the United States SEN
ate Tho practice of thus designating
a candidate hes prevailed heretofore
in other States and was adopted in
this State in selecting the arst candid
ates for that Office.
The practice of selecting in o Legis-
lative caucus is open to many objeo-
hons. It decides the matter without
any direct expression of the people
and almost wholly independent OF
them. It has the effect to consume
much of the time of the Legislature
and to originate many of the disgrace
ful practices that are sometimes Incl
dent to Senatorial election.
The successful party should have its
choice, independent of pressuros end
lobby manipulations. There ID no
way Of ascertaining that choice 80
feasible as that adopted with reference
to candidates upon the State ticket
Our next contest involves the election
of Senator-the importance OF the
election eliminates in that Office. Up
on one side Judge Williams is tho con-
ceded standard-bearer. Into the scale
of issues that gentleman throws his
personal strength-if he has any-as
any candidate for such an Office should
be presumed to have; his ability, his
attainments, his character are all
brought to bear in securing votes for
the Legislative ticket.
In the important contest to ensue
we shall certainly make q better fight
If we know who our leaders are. A
matter of such consequence should be
taken now, at this opportune time, into
the primary conventions. The su-
preme importance of the question
seems to demand It. With all defer
ence to Legislative caucuses, we think
that the regularly chosen convention
is the higher and safer tribunal. We
all remember the great contest between
Douglas and Lincoln, in 1853, in Illi-
nois. wherein the candidacy in either
party was not left to Legislative eau
Gus. The impolicy of that method of
deciding the Senatorial question, we
think, was not there, nor has it been
since ever so remotely limited at.

We invite attention to the fact that
the Bill to yacate the Umatilla Reser-
yation and provide for its sale was not
introduced by Mr.. Williams, as is cur
rently reported. The Bill was intro
duced in the House instead of the
Senate, and from this circumstance we
suppose that Mr.. Smith was its intro
ducer. The Bill providing for the
Columbia River Branch Railroad is al
80 attributed to Mr.. Smith, although
Williams has the credit Of it.

How We Breathe.

Mrs. Walter c. Lyman, in lee
ture in New York recently, said:
Few persons know how to breathe
so as to promote perfect and thor
ough publication of the blood, and
still fewer suspect that the want OIL
lack of proper breathing is the prin-
cipal cause of the inactivity of the
liver. Men breathe more naturally
than women, having greater freedom
of action, and taking more regular
bodily exercise, the mode of dress
also giving them greater expansion
of the thoracic and abdominal Wis
cera. Hence fewer men than women
suffer from lung and liver complaints.
The lungs contain about six hun
dred millions of air cells, composed
of the most delicate tissues, which
shrink and expand according to the
action of heat and cold, exercise or
rest, thus making sudden change
from an over heated atmosphere to
sharp cold, dangerous and certain
ly trying experiment. Women, as a
general thing, breathe only with the
thoracie muscles, allowing the lower
and larger portions of the lungs to
collapse and harden, and thus weak
ening their power of resistance. This
breathing power may be restored
even at an advanced age, by judicious
muscular exercise and by admitting
to the pulmonary system the largest
amount possible of fresh air.

MLLERBURG, COUNTY, THURSDAY,

affiiction is submitting to proyl-
dence. What can't be cured must
endured. If we cannot get bacon,
let us bless God that there are still
some cabbages in the garden. Must
is hard nut to crack, but it has a
sweet kernel. "All things work to-
gether for good to them that love
God" Whatever falls from the
skies is, sooner orlater, good for the
land; whatever comes to US from
God is worth having, even though
it be a rod. We cannot by nature
like trouble any more than mouse
can fall in love with a cat, and yet
Paul by grace came to glory in trib-
ulations also. Losses and crosses
are heavy to bear, but when our
hearts are right with God, it is won
derful how easy the yoke becomes.
We must needs go to glory by the
way of Weeping Cross; and as We
were never promised that We should
ride to heaven in feather bed, we
must not be disappointed when we
see the road to be rough, as our ia
thers found it before us. All's well
that ends well; and, therefore, let us
plough the heaviest soil with our
eye on the sheaves of harvest, and
learn to sing at our labor while
Others murmur.

The Star Spangled Banner.

The first American flag, according
to the design and approval of Con
gress, was made by Mrs. Elizabeth
Ross Three of her daughters still
live in this vicinity to confirm this
fact-founding their belief, not up
on what they saw, for it was made
many years before they were born,
but upon what their mother had of
ten told them. A niece of this lady,
Mrs. Margaret Boggs, aged ninety
five years, now lives in Germantown,
and is conversant with the fact. The
fact is not generally known that to
Philadelphia not only belongs the
honor of flinging the first star span
gled banner to the breeze, but to a
Philadelphia lady belongs the honor
of having made it.
The house in which it was made
still stands-No. 239 Acrh street
(the old number being so )-the last
of an old row. 1t is related that,
when Congress had decided on the
design, Col. Geo. Ross and General
Washington visited Mrs. Ross and
asked her to make it. She said: "I
don't know whether / can, but I'll
try it," and directly suggested to the
gentlemen that the design was
wrong, in that the stars were six
cornered, and not five-cornered, as
they should be. This was correct
ed; the flag was made; Congress ac-
cepted it, and for half a dozen years
this lady furnished the Government
with all its national flags, having, of
course large assistance. The lady
was also the wife of Claypole, one
of the lineal descendants of Oliver
Cromwell

Place young lady under the care
of a kind hearted, graceful woman,
and she, unconsciously to herself,
grows to be a graceful lady. Place
boy in the establishment of thor
ough going, straightfor ard bust
ness man, and the boy becomes a
self-reliant, practical business man.
Children are susceptible creatures,
and circumstances, scenes and ac-
tions always impress them. As you
influence them, not by arbitrary rules
not by stern example alone, but in
the thousand other ways that speak
through bright scenes, soft utteran-
ces and pretty scenes, so will they
grow. Teach your children to love
the beautiful. Give them a corner
in the garden for flowers, encourage
them to put in shape the hanging
baskets; allow them to have their
favorite trees; lead them to wander
in the prettiest woodlands; show
them where they can best view the
sunset; rouse them in the morning,
not with the stern ''time to work, !"
but with the gentle "see the beauti-
full sun rise;;" buy for them pretty
pictures, and encourage them to
decorate their rooms, each in his or
her childish way. This instinct is
in them. Allow them the opportu-
nifty and they will make your homes
lovely.

Sensible Admonition.

Don't buy piano for your daugh,
ters while your sons need plough.
Don't give merchant chance to
dun you. Prompt payment makes
independent men.
Keep good fences, especially line
fences. They promote good feel
ing between neighbors.
Decent, substantial clothing for
your children makes them think
better of themselves, and has a tend
ency to keep the doctor away.
Don't starve your land; if you dc
you will grow lean.
Teach your boys to look up and
forward, never down and backward.
When the labors of the day are
past let good books and newspapers
invite youngsters to the sitting
room.

A Scene in Beecher's Church.

A few Sundays ago,as Mr.. Beech
er was about commencing his ser
mon, stout, fatherly-looking man
was endeavoring to make his way
through the crowd, to get within a
better hearing distance of the dis
tinguished orator. At that moment
Mr.. Beecher's voice rang out the
words of the text: "Who art thou:"
who art thou?" again cried out
the dramatic preacher.
The stout party, thinking himself
in the wrong, perhaps, by pressing
forward, and believing to be person
ally addressed, startled the brethren
and nonplussed their reverend chief
tain by sedately replying:
I'm apig merchant from the west,
sir. l hope you amt mad. There
amt nary chair or else I'd sot
down."
Plymouth Church didn't recover
its serenity for ten minutes.

A Boy Weds His Guardian.

The New Orleans Picayune of the
18th inst. had the following:
A few days since a well-dressed
and handsome youth, of some eight.
cen years of age, appeared before
one of our city magistrates and
asked if he could engage his ser
vices to perform a marital ceremony.
The reply was in the affirmative, and
the young man left, but shortly af-
terward returned, accompanied by q
sombre-looking female. middle aged
and dressed in black.
is this lady your mother?' in
quired the magistrate.
"Oh, no, sir; this is the lady / de-
sire to marryr' replied the youth, as
the lady drew aside her veil, disclos-
ing a countenance wrinkled and sere.
but on which for the moment
cleaned a sort of icy smile.
Indeed!'
"Oh, yes, SIR"
Dut are YOU VI dSC.
"Not yet; but this is my guardian"
"And she gives her cOnsent?"
"Yes, sir"
The Magistrate was in a guam
Diary. He did not know exactly
what to do. He hated to sacrifice
the youth, and join the bright faced
May to the gloomy, icy December.
"Isn't this rather strange union"
he asked.
"Not at all, replied the expectant
bride. Il have large amount of
property which l desire to leave this
young man. As l have relatives
who might dispute the will were to
give it him as legacy, l prefer to
marry him."
"And you are content to marry
this woman for her money! asked
the justice.
"Well, l shouldn't marry her for
else~ frankly replied the
boy lover. "She amt pretty"
And without more ado the cere-
mony was concluded.

THE TWO MAiDENS.


One came with light and laughing air,
And cheek like opening blossom
Bright gems were twined amid her hair.
And glittered on her bosom;
And pearls and costly diamonds deck
Her round white arms and lovely neck
Like summers sky, with stars bedight,
The jeweled robe around her,
And dazzling as the noontide light
The radiant zone that bound her
And pride and joy were in her eye.
And mortals bowed as she passed by.
Another came: DER her sweet face
4 pensive shade was stealing;
Yet there no grief Of earth we trace
But the Heaven-hallowed feeling
Which mourns the heart should ever stra,
From the pure fount Of truth away.
Around her brow, as snow-drop fair,
The glossy tresses cluster,
Nor pearl nor ornament was there.
save the meek spirits lustre;
And faith and hope beamcd in her eye,
And angels bowed as she passed by.
