T.ae F.i4tsc worm Pesatsier.

No trade is less honorable for being
odd. \ good many boys we know
would hardly have the courage to be
angle-worm merchants, but as long as
there is nothing better to do, it is as
good way as any to turn an honest
penny.
a gentleman who had been visiting
the White Mountains, on his way
down saw little boy get on the stage
with y box filled with earth.
:. What have you got there, my lit
tie boy 20
8 Worms.''
4" What are you going to do with
them -
''Sell them two for q cent The
fishermen can't get them in the lower
part of the mountains, and so L go
up the valley here and dig them, and
bring them down and sell them. .
But how do you pay for such q
long stage ride ?:'
II don't pay; [ shines his boots, :"
pointing to the driver.
$50 you have an occupation besides
peCdiing wOrms?'
: Yes, that is the way get my liv-
ing. | have fifteen dollars already laid
up, and it's only the beginning of the
! season.
8 You're a smart boy.'' said the
man, ''but is this all yoa are ever
going to do ?''
9 No, indeed. I go to school over
in Vermont during the winter-pay
two dollars II week for board.''

1sNo."
p g No mother?''
No-nobody. I make my own
way, and one of these days am going
to college"
s To college 2"
Yes, to one of the best in the
country"
A boy with such spirit can get an
education. He is not ashamed Of pow
erty, nor is he afraid to work. Some
boys would be too proud to sell worms
for a living. They would rather
starve or steal.

The New York Tribune, of the
Oath of Nov, states thatan express
wagon, loaded with trunks and
baggage, left Tweed's house on the
morning of Thursday preceding,
and that a Deputy United States
Marshal, who followed close, re-
ported that passages had been en-
gagged on the steamer "City of
Brussels for five of Tweed s family.
One extra berth had been engaged
which it was stated might not be
used. The supposition is, that
Tweed wishes to send away all OF
his valuables and then follow them.
1t is also stated that Tweed has ap-
piled to the Company in which his
life is insured for permission to trav-
ell beyond the seas. No one doubts
his intention of fleeing, and his
warmest friends are dropping away
from him and denouncing him bit
terly.

The winter climate of Oregon is
said to be misty, dampy, rainy, and
otherwise wetty. Oregoniaus are
nicknamed sWebteet," we suppose,
because they paddle around in the
water so much that their feet are
inclined to spread out, and possibly
some Of the toes may be joined to-
gether. The name is supposed to
be characteristic, anyhow, the same
that "Puke'' is of AIissourians, and
"Sucker'' is of Illinoisians. Our

stick to Principles.


The total decentralization of the
Democratic party renders it almost,
if not absolutely, certain, that the
next standard-bearer of the hepub-
lican party for President will be
elected. We say almost certain,
for a thing is never entirely sure so
lo,gg as it continues in the range Of
possibility. Present Indications,
based upon past experience, all III
dicate most glorious v:ctory to
the Republican ticket. \ possible
contingency, however, might arise,
which would imperil the success of
the party. The late elections have
demonstrated that the Republican
party is far in the ascendant. They
have also shown that the unity OF
the party remains intact, III spite of
the efforts ofcertain disaffected ones,
who have heretofore occupied the
position of leaders in the party.
This is the present position OF the
Republican party. Principle, in
stead of men, has been the secret of
Republican unity and success in the
past, and SO long as principle is adj
hered to in the future, the same re-
suits will follow. There are aspir-
ing men in every party, who hold
themselves in readiness 10 take any
step, however inconsistent or dis
honorable, to promote personal am
bition, or satisfy personal jealousy.
Such men are i'll the Republican
party. They occupy high positions,
and some are even now trying to
spread dissension and discord in the
party. In the dark hours Of the
rebellion, some Republican leaders
attempted the same thing, but most
signally failed in the end, though
their influence was bad for q time.
L he point is, to he guarded against
these demagoglles and traitors in
the van of the party. + Horace
Greeley, or Carl Sehurz, or any
other sore-head, proposes to get up
q coalition ticket of weakened Re
publicans and s'new departure" and
s'no nominating" Democrats, it is
only a scheme to promote selfish
purposes which they cannot carry
out in the Republican party. Let
us, then, as Republicans, continue
to look steadtastly to principles !;
let Us continue to estimate and be
influenced by our party leaders,
only in proportion as they remain
true and faithful to the doctrines Of
the party, and as they show willing
ness and ability to maintain them !;
thus continuing true to our position
and practice, no effort Of the opposi-
ton, Of the schen,ing demagogues in
the party, can prevent the great
Republican party ofthis nation from
achieving increased triumphs in the
future.

origin OF THE ROSES. On a
certain time, at Bethlehem, there
was a beautiful young girl who was
charged with crime, and sentenced
to be burned to death. They led
her into a field and piled fagots
around her, and set them on fire.
But she being innocent, prayed
while they were burning, that some
wonderful thing might take place
to show that she was innocent. And
this is what happened: all the fag-
OTIS which were already on fire were
changed into bushes full of red ros-
es, and those which had not kindled
turned to white ones, also full of
flowers. s"And these" says an
ancient writer, sswere the first rose
tree and roses, both red and white,
that man ever saw" And the
country where this was done
abounds with them to this day.

Suspension of tr.e Writ of Habeas
Corpus.

The act of the President in sus-
pending the writ ofhabeas corpus
in nine counties of South Carolina,
for the purpose of suppresslng
the outrages Of the rebellious ku-
Klux, is drawing from Democrat
ie quiil-drivers that accusation and
abuse which was anticipated. No
words in the vocabulary OF aecusa-
ton and condemnation are strong
enough to express the intensity OF
their aversion to this act of the
President. The President ard Re
publican party would have been as
tonished beyond measure, if such
storm of invective and abuse had
been withheld by the Democracy.
Every step of the Republican party
in throttling treason in the late re-
bellion, was met by just such storm
of condemnation. Every step of
the Republicans at reconstruction
has been attended by the like De
mocratic music. Misrepresentation,
tault-finding and abuse, seem to
be the s'lock, stock and bar
rep of a Democratic editors out
fit. They have numerous songs,
but they seem all to be pitched to
one or the other of these three tunes.
These are the instruments, though
there may be many strings. Any
measure of reconstruction, or correc-
ton Of abuses and crimes, which
have been, and are now being per-
petrated in the South by the late
rebels, sets these instruments to go
ing. They fill the whole land with
their discordant notes of rage and
false statement. They sing out now
that the President has placed.these
counties under martial law. This
is notso; he has simply suspended
the writ Of ha6eas corpus, which is
altogether different thing. Mar
tial law is substituting the will of
tine military commander in the place
of all other law. The suspension
OF the writ Of ha5eas corpus, en-
powers the civil officers, the sheriff;s
OF those rebellious counties, to en-
ploy the military to assist them in
enforcing the civil laws, by arrest
ing these ku klux murderers and
robbers. An armed resistance to
law and the Government, however.
which Ku Kluxism is, falls with
IN the character Of rebellion, and
becomes amenable to the laws ofthe
United States. The writ of Ia5eos
coq7oass, therefore, will not release a
man to State authority, who has
committed an otfense against a
United States statute, and has been
arrested by a United States officer.
The Federal courts instituted an
inquiry into the character of the Ku
Klux order and the crimes COM
mitted by it. They found it
a secret band of cowardly thieves
and cut-throats, endeayoring by in
tifnidation and outrage, to force Re-
publicans to vote the Democratic
ticket, leave the country, or die.
They found the sheritfs and civil
functionaries In these counties un-
able, without i1nperiling their lives,
to arrest these yiolators oflaw. The
anti-Ku Klux law was the result.
which authorizes, in such cases as
we have indicated, the President to
suspend the writ of hu5eos corpus.
thus empowering the civil author
tiles to use the military as a posse
conaat0tus to assist them In enforc-
ing the laws and arresting crirni-
mails.
