ITO OUR PATRONS AND THE PUBLIC
L Generally desiring to make SAFE and RE-
LIABLE INVESTMENTS IN REAL PROP
ERTI, We beg leave at this time TO call your
attention to this Desirable Tract, which has
been subdivided into Blocks and Lots, and is
now in the market TO be sold in Alternate Lots
and Blocks.
No one has ever visited this body OF land but
what will say that IL is the most eligible for
Suburban Residences OF any offered in this
market, the land having gradual slope from
the river back to Seventeenth St, there being
scarcely any Block in the entire tract but what a
Fair View Of the City Of Portland and the Will
lamette river can be had.
Another advantage this property will have
for residences: No high water will ever affect
the drainage of the city.

Touching Scene.

VIZ copy as follows from the Mem
phisl Avalanche: .
Many instances have been recorded
OF the affection and sagacity displayed
by dogs when their masters have dice
or been injured in any manner. Per.
haps as affecting an accident of this
KIND as ever witnessed was the action
OF the dog Pinch, owned by the late
Hod Morse, who was shot FRIDAY
night, upon being shown the body OF
his dead master, as it lay upon a board
Sunday morning, preparatory to being
placed in the coffin. Everybody who
knew Hod knew Pinch, for they were
lnseparable. An iron gray dog of the
Scotch terrier breed, he was noted for
his sagacity and fighting qualities
Sunday morning friend of Holds. for
the first time, took the dog into the
room where the remains were. Anum-
Der of Morse's friends were present at
the time and can vouch for the accura-
cy OF the story. When let in the room
Pinch let his head fall to the floor, and
with slow steps walked directly across
to where Holds body was lying. Stop
ping by the body he raised his head
and began a low, monotonous howl
While uttering these howls, Pin h
would from time to time look around
at the different men present as if MAX
ing a mute appeal to be allowed to
nave access to the body. Noticing
this, one of the men took chair and
placed it by Holds head. AS soon as it
was placed in position the dog jumped
upon the chair and with his forepaw
brushed the cloth from his masters
face. After he had removed the cloth
he threw one leg over Holds breast,
while he laid his face on that of his
master, and rubbing it over few times.
commenced licking it as if desirious of
awakening him. Seeing that this did
"oC nave the desired effect, Pinch stop
ped and looked into Holds face for a
moment, again commenced bowling or
rather whining in a pitiful manner
The whole scene, taking in the sur
roundings, was most sorrowful one.
and brought tears and sobs from the
men whom the world regard as social
Pariahs, but in whom, as this incident
proved, all the better feelings had not
been deadened. Pinch continued his
pantomlme until seemingly convinced
that he could not arouse his master.
when he jumped down, and with slow
steps left the room, never returning
until after the body had been conveyed
to its final resting place in Elmwood
Cemetery.

Evidence Of Radical Eu.Klux in
the South.

The press has referred to the organi-
cation of negroes and white men in
certain of the Southern States into
military companies, but we have
failed to find any explanation of the
matter until now. In Georgia. the

bryant, who, some years ago, melted
the riot and open hostility to the civil
authorities of Savannah, is the prime.
organizer; bnt IN that, as we'll as
other States, the end and aim of the
new organization have been guarded
with zealons care.
A correspondent Of the Atlanta Trne
Georgian throws light upon the move
ment in the following letter, to which
Governor Bard, the editor calls par
ticular attention
SIR: Having been approached to
join an organization now being imam
gurated in this State by Captain John
=. Bryant, the editor of the Georgia
Republican, and having been told that
the organization was no political. and
was calculated to do much good in fine
South. at once wrote to a friend in
Washington, requesting information
relative to the new order and its oh
jects.
In reply / received the following:
"Ihe National guard is the name of
the new organization at the South.
with headquarters in this city, for the
protection of Union men. It is pre-
paratory to self-defense, and possibly
retaliation after the Kn-Klux law
proves to be a failure. It is a secret,
sworn and armed organization.

ed to organize Georgia, and vii! be the
commander-in-chief for that State.

celebrated cred Strings" in North

attach themselves to it in your State.

this is"

head of this Order, who resides at

Officeholder.

duped by designing adventures into
an association that will bring them

Exaberant Health.

Exuberant health is blessing vouch-
safed to few. Even those who have
been favored by nature with strong
constitutions and vigorous frames are
apt to neglect the precautions necessa-
~ to preserve these precious endow-
ments. Indeed, as a rule, the more
healthy and robust a man is, the more
liberties he is inclined to take with his
own physique. 1t is some consolation
to the naturally weak and feeble to
know that they can be so invigorated
and built up, by a proper use of the
means which science has placed at
their disposal, as to have u much bet
ter chance of long life, and exemptions
from disease and pain, than the most
athletic of their fellows who are foolish
enough to suppose themselves invul-
nerable, and act accordingly.
1t is not too much to say that more
than half, the people of the civilized
world need an occasional tonic, to ena-
bic them to support the strain upon
their bodies and minds, which the fast
life of this restless age occasions. In
fact, q pure, wholesome, unexciting
tonic is the grand disideratum of the
busy millions, and they have the arti-

LEE CRANDALL.

e@ Respectfully we announce the
death of George L. Clapp, the lead
ing member of the mercantile firm of
Clapp Brothers & Co., of New Or.
leans. We knew intimately the de-
ceased for nearly twenty-five years
and can attest to his worth as a man
and good citizen, He was for MANY
years previous to the war engaged in
mercantile pursuits, and Post Master
at Sabine Town, Texas, where he
was well and universally esteemed.
Since the war he had made New Or
leans his home, where he had added
to'his previous well earned reputation
as good and honest merchant. He
has invested largely in our Parish,
and was perfecting immense improve
ments on his large estate. The death
OF such a man, at such a time, will be
sadly missed.
From the Pittsfeld, (sIass.) Sun,
we extract the following particulars
of his death:
George L. Clapp, ESQ, of the house Of
Ciapp Brothers g. Co ,'of New Orleans. La.
and who was for many years resident of
pittsfield; arrived in Town, at>.he house
OF his mother on Friday, from European
trip, and in feeble health. We regret to
say that.our esteemed friend died on We'd
nesday morning, ats o'clock There will
be services at the residence of Mrs. Aliens.
on Fomeroy Avenue, at p NJ, on Thurs.
Day and on Friday the remains will be
taken to Belehertown, for interment.

Flowers at Funerals.

One of those customs which, beau
tiful in their inception, run into ex
travagance and are abused by BAG
taste and misapplication, has reach
ed it's elimination of absurdity, and
is about ready to die natural death
We allude to the use of flowers al
funerals. It was q delicate fancy
which first suggested the idea O.
putting between the waxen fingers O.
the dead babe the simple honey flow.
er, scarcely more fresh and lovely
than the human blossom it seemed
to symbolic. The light wreath that
retted, a virgin cornal, upon the
brow of the maiden on her bier, OF
the modest bunch of rose buds and
geranium leaves that pressed her bo-
som, presented no incongruity to the
mind, "Sweets to the Sweets" we
said, with Shakspeare's Danish queen
or added with mourning brother.
"Lay her j. the earth :
And from her fair and unpolluted hesh
May violets spring. s7
But soon these touching tokens
began to be used without reference
to appropriateness. The remains of
old people began to be adorned with
these emblems of youth and fresh
Mesa hideous discrepancy. Had
autumn leaves been used instead, the
decoration would have had a better
significance. Flowers as a funeral
accompaniment now became "the
fashion," and were employed without
discrimination and without taste.
What had been the graceful tributes
of friendly sympathy were exposed
for sale by the florist, and furnished
by the undertaken, to be "put in the
bill" Great numbering crosses, and
of hope, and crowns of i'm
mortality encountered the bier, in
mockery, but bo often, of the char
acter of it's occupant, and served as
voluminous testimony to his social
standing-like the silver nails and
handles of his coffin or the number of
carriages in the funeral co,5ege. But
when, one day. the body of the bloat-
ed ruffian who had been sent to his
account by Reddy the blacksmith, in
a drunken brawl, went along the
street to its burial, enveloped in ex-
quisite white flowers, wrought into
symbols of purity and heavenly bless.
edness, and followed by admiring
thousands of the vilest creature on
this burdened earth, the horrible alb
surdity had indeed attained it's eli
max, and we were justified in looking
sor a reaction to prosaic common
sense. tfa
We were not surprised to hear, the
'ther day, that judicious lady had
,efused to allow the many floral gifts
which she had received as funeral of
'erings at the obsequies of her son to
% used about his bier, with the ex-
'eption of q sprig or two, far down
beneath the cofin-lid. For ourselves,
We are ready now to return to the Sc
'ere simplicity of our fathers, and to
ay our dead quietly away, accepting
he stern fact of their mortality, with
10 other alienation than such as NAV
'e furnished by a trust in the power
# the cross, and the hope Of q blessed
esurection.- Exchange.
