,slAff was eaught In the whirl7pool and
drawn with terrible velocity toward the
WATERFALL Brown, who was rowing,
saw that the boat must Inevitably be
drawn into the mad torrent, and he or
dered young Humphrey, who was in
the stern of the boat, to jump out and
swim for his life Humphrey obeyed,
and leaping into the water, attempted
to swim to shore. In the, meantime
the boat, containing Mr.. Brown, shot
swiftly under the dam, and both were
lost to view beneath the .surging tor
rent. In q moment, however, the boat
came to the surface Of the water, and
then again disappeared, coming up
again, presently, in fifty pieces, having
been dashed to atoms on the rocks be-
meath the water. Brown appeared at
the top Of the water two or three times,
but the ,madly-lashing waves as quick
~ hurled him beneath again, aud for
almost minute he was entirely lost to
view, when he appeared again about
forty feet down stream from the dam,
and completely out of reach of the
maelstrom. y AS soon as he came to the
surface Of the water he, saw, young
Humphrey still floating about in the
water near the dam, apparently unable
to get out, and calling to him to float
down stream, Humphrey obeycd. and
was soon lifted upon terra .fsrma by Mr..
Brown, who is large, strong man,
and who was but slightly fatigued after
his desperate battle with the mad
waves. He was, however, considera-

been dashed several times against the
rocks under the dam, while at the mer-

manning in its bed of flesh until DIR.

r CoNPFTrTIoN.-Wea are credibIy in
formed that the p. T. Company design
cutting down the prices Of freight on
their boats to much lower figure than
the present rates, in order TO bring the
railroad to task for some rather under
handed games which it is asserted the
latter has played to secure a monopoly
of freight in certain quarters. Also,
the Company will probably carry pas
sengers on their boats for little or moth
ing, which we imagine will make quite
a hole In the receipts of the railroad
company from that source. The rail-
road company charges entirely toe
high for passenger fare. and we will be
glad to see some measures adopted to
bring them down to something Ike
reasonable rates. eli sss. :.5ssa zaa

We hear of . lamento-
BILE tragedy (which occurred at Philo-
meth College, Benton county, last
Tuesday. A couple of students-one
of whom was son of Luther White of
Brownsville, this county, and tho 9TH
er's name to US not known--became
engaged in a quarrel which eliminated
in rough-and-tumble fight. While
they were scuifiing away, a black
smith, who was working In his shop
near by, and who was a brother of the
boy whose name we did not learn, ran
out of his shop and hurled an iron pick
ct pin at White which struck him in
the head and penetrated the brain two
or three inches, causing instant death.
The two brothers are now In irons ut
Corvallis awaiting a legal investigation,
while their unfortunate victim was ta-
ken to his fathers home for interment.

MEETING AT HARRIsBUR0.-Ar rail-

We understand that the Harrisburgers
are bent on makingsup their s20, 900,
and IL that is the case we know they
will do 1t, as there is no more enter
prising or plucky community any,
where than that comprising Harris
burg. They know they will have to
buy the railroad If they get It; but they
want it and are going to have it If they
have to sell their shirts to .'raise the
wind" Go in, boys, We'll hold your
hats!
LATER-As we so to press VIC learn

Harrisburg met Ben. Holladay, at the
depot in this city, to ascertain his terms
for running the East Side railroad
through those places; and we are told
that he demanded of them $60,00O as a
consideration of complying with their
wishes $40, 900 from Eugene and $780,
600 from Harrisburg This is heavy
subsidy, but the railroad belongs to
Ben. and he has "a right to charge his
own price for slice of it. The people
of Harrisburg and Eugene are anxious
for railroad, and are as justly entitled
to it as any other localities-but wheth-
er they can stand this enormous de-
mand is dubious question and one
which they alone are able to determine.

NAVIGATING THE SASrIAN.-S- II.
Claughton, ESD, of Lebanon, dropped
into our Office last Monday and told us
that the navigation of the Santiam riv-
er is bound to prove a success. The
4iCaliope'' was several days going down
the river last week. owing to her lodg-
ment on the bar at Crabtree Ford, but
steps will be immediately taken to cut
a channel through this bar. and this
being the only obstruction, there will
hereafter be no further difficulty. The
ttCaliope" has carrying capacity of
40 tons-rather too much for that
stream-but Capt. Biddie designs hav-
ing her Immediately overhauled and
invested with about 75-horse power,
which will be sufficient to propel her
up the stream with excellent speed
She will only run between jefferson
and Lebanon, connecting with the
railroad at the former place The Leb-

most certain success of the enterprise,
and are determined to render itsau the

sand Persons.

The London correspondent of the
Boston Advertiser says:
81 once heard Mr.. Spurgeon preach
in the Crystal Palace to twenty thous-
and persons. Whichever way you look
ed you saw q mass Of human beings.
His wife sat Immediately below his
pulpit. She grew frightened and began
10 shed tears. Mr. Spurgeon observed
her, and calling some one to him, sent
. message asking her to sit where she
could not look at him, and after she
had moved, her nervousness passed
away. So little did he exert himself
that / could not believe the people at
the rim Of the circle could hear, but !
was wrong.
"When the doxology after the ser
mon had been sung, the great Bap-
tist preacher, with the familiarity
which seems to be allowed to particu-
lar men, said: No, no; that will not
do. Not half of you sung then. Let
us have the words again, and let
every one join. Mr.. Organist, please
play the verse once more The organ
was at the extreme end, scarcely in
sight. The organist looked like .
black dot. But he heari the little
stout man in the pulpit, and turning
to the keys cent forth q glorious vol
ume of music. And the people heard
as well; the five thousand singers bc-
came twenty thousand. II was won
derful to find those enormous regi-
ments of singers suddenly joining the
rest"

A Maiden's Love.

Human nature has no essence more
pure-the world knows nothing more
chaste - heaven has endowed the
mortal heart with none holicr, than the
nascent affection Of a young virgins
soul.-The warmest language of the
sunny South is too cold to shadow
forth even faint outline of the en-
thusiastic sentiment. And Provi-
dence has made the richest language
poor in the same respect, because
the depths of hearts that thrill with
loves emotions are too sacred for the
common contemplation. The musi-
cal voice of love stirs the source OF
the sweetest thoughts within the
human breast, and steals into the pro-
found recesses of the soul, touching
cords that never vibrated before,
and calling into gentle companion
ship delicious hopes until then un-
known. Yes, the light of a young
maiden's first love breaks dimly but
beautifully upon her, as the silver
lustre of star glimmers through a
thickly woven bower: and the first
blush that mantles her cheek, as she
feels the primal influence, is faint
and pure as that which rose leaf
might cast upon marble. But how
rapidly does that light grow stronger,
and tpat flush deeper until the pow
erfrl efulgence of the one graduates
every conner of her heart, and the
crimson glow of the other suffuses
every feature Of her counteDancc.

The Origin ef Dancing.

Egypt claims to be the inventor Of
dancing, rs well ~ of the science of
geometry. The legend ascribes the
honor to Alethus, the Egyptian Mer-
curry, who observing that music at
sacrafice naturally moved the body,
reduced the motions Of the feet as the
Apollo did the speech. One Of the
most famous Of their dances was the
Astronomical Dance round IN altar,
which was supposed to represent the
sun, whilst the priests around il were
the individual planets; their move
ments were, as befltted the sacred oc-
casion, solemn and stately. In later
and more civilized times, the govern
ment. dreading the effect Of public and
self-practiced dancing upon q people
naturally much given to licentious-
ness and immortality, forbade the high
er classes to learn the art, and permit
ted persons Of the lowest caste to take
it up as q regular and recognized pro-
fession. Grace Of posture and move
ment was the chief end attained, and
they danced 20 tne s0Qn0 OF the carp,
Tyre, pipe, and tamborine, and in the
streets even to the drum. According
to Wilkerson, q primitive form of the
modern ballad, and especially the step
ofthe pirouette, delighted an Egyptian
party upwards Of three thousand five
hundred years ago. Their dresses
were transparent, and sometimes they
appear to have danced entirely naked.
The dance was often supplemented by
gymnastics, and, among the interior
order of performers, tended toward the
species Of pantomims and dumb

Wise WoRDs.-FOOlish spending

Compel the selfish body to spare
something for the profits saved. Be

merciful to others necessities. Help
others, and ask not help for yourself.
