Too Coon TO BE LosT-Our German
friends, we trust, can appreciate a joke,
even if it is against themselves, aud we
therefore give place to the following ancc-
dotc, which they no doubt will agree with
us is too good to sink into oblivion: Mr..
Mcllroy, an old gentleman residing in
Lewis county, recently called upon his
neighbor, Judge McFadden. at his resi-.
dencc, to have talk about railroads and
general Improvements, when he incident,
ally remarked that the day previous he
had seen six wagons of emgrants pass his
house, who appeared to be travelling in
better than usual style, with spring wag-
ons, and in fine spirits, and judging from
their conversation, he believed them to be
Il PARTON Of Governor Salomon's German
emigration. The Judge, amused beyond
measure, explained to the old gentleman,
that the six wagons contained the insane
patients of the Territory, who were being
removed to their new quarters at Stella
COON, and that iftheir mode of travel was
superior to the usual style, the credit was
due to the enterprising prorrietors of the
United States mail line from this place to
Monticello. "Well," persisted the old
gentleman, q thought they didn't act
like other people,"

Why the Promise Failed.

Why the Promise Failed.
A correspondent educators to account
for the failure OfGsrfelie's eloquence to
impress the people East with the grandeur
OF our Territory. He does this by showing
no" absurd were some Of the promises
made by "our Delegate" We do not be.

there is more truth than poetry in the eff.

sELUCloUs LECTURE IN VERSE.
When Seucius lectured in the East,
The people gathered round,
To hear the many mighty truths
lie told of Puget Sound.
First he spoke of bays and harbors,
OF railroads then he talked;
Then of the cattle running wild,
AS fat as they could walk
He talked about the forest trees
Whose tops reached to the sun
Corn, cabbages and pumpkins grew
On every stalk n ton.
liz Spohc VI lTUltS ana mowers,
And wide extended plains,
Covered full ten feet high
With wheat and other grain.
lie pictured the snow-capped mountains.
Their fower-dottcd coves,
The sparkling brooks and fountains
Among the orange groves.
Then he spoke of the seasons,
But little snow or rain
climate far surprising that
OF Italy or Spain.
There's no pain nor sickness there
That folks grow old It's true
But the country seems to work a change,
1t makes them good as new.
Now, those who want good homes,
There soon can be supplied
There are millions Of broad acres,
Still unoccupied.
His remarks excite only smiles. So he
leaves the stand and proceeds to harransue
them in groups.
lie now invites the Yankees ALL
Describes the pleasant scenes;
Theatres fairs and pumpkin pies.
And hills of pork and beans.
The. Yankee SAID they guessed" they
wouldn't 60.
He invited then the Irishmen,
A nation tall of fun;
Said he, You'll find good whisky there,
In all the brooks that run;
Potatoes grow spontaneously
In eyry hill and mound,
There you may eat and drink until
Your bellies drag the ground"
The Irish said, " BE jabcrs, l don't be.
lave him. I'll not go"
To the Dutch he said, Now you just
There's nothing You need fer, leone,
The rivers flow delicious soups,
And lakes of lager beer.
There's plenty room for all who come,
Large caves of sour krout;
The country's always craving there,
It's sides are stretching out"
But the Dutch only said, II losh not
pclievc him. jusht shtay we're ish."
He said to group of Englishmcn,
Ifyou would like to go,
When you acknowledge Uncle Sam,
You too can hive show;
We've plenty there to cnt and drink,
For all there is enough,
Plnm-pnddings grow on every tree,
And mountains are made of duff
Said they
{. Your hoifcrs we disdain,
We're going to Salt Lake,
There's beauty and hold IIiuslish hale
We go for 'eavcn's sake
He thus ad lrcsscd the darl,ies,
your presence we crave there
For the pleasure of your company
Wen pay all bills of fare.
There you may sit in palaces,
BE numbered with the great,
And all we wish that you should do
Is to keep the white folks straight"
They answered with offended pride,
% We wish you shct dat mOuf,
We's gwine to keep dc white trash straight
In dis place and lie Souf."

ANOTHER MURDER IN PIERCE County.
SO common have become the scenes of
outrage in our sister county, that the an
nounccmcnt of another murder to add to
long list of crimes perpctrated there occa-
sions no surprise. The circumstances at.
tending this last horror We condensc from
correspondents letter: 1t appears that
the crime was committed some time last
Saturday, the news reaching Steilacoom
on the evening Of that day, dcccased's farm
being situated about six miles from town.
Mr.. Pincus, the Coroner, Immediately
summoned jury and proceeded to the
scene of blood. The body was found lying
about one hundred yards from the house,
in the open prairie, and was first discov-
cred by his nearest neighbor, Mr.. Walker,
who it seems had arrived before Cawley
had expired, but not before he had become
unconscious. The body was perforated by
twenty-four buckshot, mostly about the
abdomen. 1t appeared to have RENAME |
in the immediate vicinity where it had
fallen. a piece of wadding, fired from a
gun, was found about sixty feet from the
corpse, and tracks were discovered in a
fence corner near, where undoubte lily the
murderer had laid in ambush. Hopes arc
entertained of ascertaining the author of
the crime. Cawlcy has had more or less
difficulty with his neighbors, but no
threats have yet been proven as used by

The steamship Saxon, from the Cape OF Good
Hope arrived at Plymouth, England, December 30.
She brought nine passengers and seven sacks Of
mails; large general cargo, including SIX pack
ages OF diamonds ,349 bales OF wool 2.297 bags
OF rice. Her dates were-The Cape, 2sth November;
Ascension, 10th December.
The diamond discoveries on the banks OF the Vaal

OF persons were cmigrating to the diamond fields.
revolution had taken place among the rulers of
the Diamond Provisional republic, formed on the
west side or Kip Drift side OF the Vaal. Taxation
had been raised from half a crown to half a sove-
reign per digger per month by the last government.
THIS unpopular step had caused their dismissal and
the appointment OF new Ministry, under President
Parker. Further dispatches had passed between
the Colonial government and that or the Free State
President Parker still persisng In his claim TO the
Territory.
1t was reported that the gold discoveries at Beau

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT.

Question Of Practice in Banlkruptcy-Edward
benjamin., Assignee, Appcllant, VS.. JuIins
Hart, Appellee.
Before Judge Blatchford.
This was question aifecing proceedings upon an
appeal In equity from a decree OF the District Court
in Bankruptcy to the Circuit Court. The decree
was granted on the Goth OF December last, and ac-
corling to the rules under the Bankruptcy act the
appeal should have been taken within ten days from
the granting Of the decree and bond given at the
same time. The ten days elapsed on Monday last,
and up TO that time no appeal mad been taken or
bond given. Yesterday the parties appeared before
Commissioner Osborn and justified on bond be-
fore him; but counsel for the appellee objected to
the form OF the bona, 1t being headed District
Court OF the United States" instead OF Circuit Court
The bond was, therefore, entirely invalid
8Counsel for the appellant claimed that four days.
notice OF the appeal had been given and that on the
10th Of January one OF the parties TO the bond ap
peared before the Commissioner and justified, while
the other was unable TO do so until yesterday.
Counsel claimed that he had followed the rules and
he had received from the officials, to whom this
practice OF appeal was new.
The Judge said tnat counsel was mistaken as to
the practice He must issue the appeal, stay and
bond within ten days from the granting OF the
appeal exclusive OF Sundays, if he wished that
stay. The Court had no power to dispense with
practice on appeals which was regulated by statute.

might lay before HIM.
