WHY VOTE FOR GREELEY.

There are many reasons why we should
vote for Horace Greeley, and there are very
many reasons why we should not vote Tor
Ulysses S. Grant The best evidence that
Greeley is true to his country and honest to
the people, and a gool reason why honest
men should vote for him, is, because every
man impure in principle, defed in person and
corrupt in politics, is against him. For
many years there has been cherished in The
breasts Of the people Of the North and South
bitter animosity toward one another, and
that this may be quenched is another reason
why we should vote for Greeley. Our
country for some years past has been deeIn-
ing from the high standard Of political purity
which characterized the earlier years OF
its existence, and with the cherished hope OF
again restoring it to its pristine purity let us
vote ior Horace Greeley. Different nations
across the sea are boasting that America Is
becoming corrupt, anl that her political I'M
purity must ere long cause her downfall; to
show these nations that we still respect abd-
ity, integrity, honesty and capacity, let us
vote for Greeley. The revenue Of our coun-
try has for some time been used 10 eXhAIi
personal interest, and thus has been pow
erful agent in bringing about the corruption
now extent; lhat they may be shared alike
by all, and used for the promotion OF TIE
general welfare Of iha whole country, let ns
vote for Greeley. Ills opponent is compw-
lively destitute of either brains or principle,
and because the God Of mercy has bestowed
on Greeley powerful brain, and has turned
It's efforts to the amcHor4tinS Of hamaniiy,
whenever or wherever found suffering, let Us
vote for hin. That strength, unity, wisdom,
respect, honor virtue and purity may once
more be ours 20 boast and oilers to respect,
let US in the name Of ra'h, justice and ma
t;onh integrity vote for Honest Horace

ORrcoS la our last issue We expressed
felr lhat the influence of she corruptioniss
would be sufficient to cause The election Of the
monoqoly's candidate for Senator by The Or
egon Lcgisiature What was then only a
Conjecture is now a reality. Last Saturday
tha election was held, and railroad Holiday
man, Mitchell, was tue successful candidate.
This is another triunph Of monopoly over
the people. It seems our sister State has
failed to profit by our dear experience; when
The grinding teeth Of their oppressor shall be-
gin to gnaw at their yitas, then will they
repent their present folly; then with then
eyes opened to the true intent of their de-

enormously as the people of California are

Republican organization Of California, as
Ben HaHaday docs that Of Oregon, and atler
he has named and nominated its candidates
Why Should lie rot also own newspapers to

well Informed man in the State knows and
admits that Stanford & Co. owned the late
State and Congressional Conventions, and
named and nominated all the Electors and
Congressmen, the Argus says there Is no

have been discussed by all the newspapers
candidates and nearly ever voterm tie state,
the Argus says virtually these people are all
fools; there is no railroad in the fight. After
Grant has signed bill giving railroad an
empire of land, and has positively refused to
pledge himself to veto the $40, ,000, ,OOu
Goat Island grab, the .4rgus procaims that
there is no railroad at issue. After kepu0-

The Lg@ Unlimited thAt tie publisher Of

this the Stripes says, IN substance, in th's
and former article, as we understand il:
The insnuatioa tbatitwou!d or offered to sch
10 Page Is IN unmitisated He That Page
sought il ana offered it $1,000 to support
him; that afterwards Page heard th4t mcm-

then offered to take upll.s mortgage orhavo
it cancelled and pay the same 5000 mpfefcr-

all these Offers were rejected. The Inference
follows ;lat Stamford IS 60. were to give tho

and that Page woald pay The other 5000 and
tlaa save 500. These facts the editor oI

Greeley and the Sacramento Unioa both
coutcndcd in 1851 that Tie ordinances Of se-
cessiou were being forced to adoption by the
people Of the Southern States by terrorism,
ana that if the people there were free to vote
their sentiments that secession would be
largely beaten. This we can prove by The

this Union forgor the direct lie in his speech
next day at Cincinnati. Here is his Ian
guage: He said lis Pittsburg speech had
been misntcpretod. The remark be referred
to was what he had said in explanation o.
circumstances under which he was impeIIed,
in the Winter of 60 and 81, to offer, in good
faith, to submit the whole question Of union
or disuuion to fair vote Of the Southern
people He heliyed then, as now, that il
such could have been had the Southern poo-

Familiar Love.

Perhaps there is no period so pleas
ant among all the pleasant periods of
love-making rs that in which the in
timacy between the lovers is so assured
and the coming event so near as to pro-
duce and endure conversation about
the ordinary little matters of life; what
can be done with the limited means at
their disposal; how that life shall. lead
together; what idea each has of the
others duties, what each can do for the
other; what each viii renounce for the
other. There was n true sense Of the
delight of intimacy in the girl who de-
clared that she had never loved her
lover as when she told him how many
pairs of stockings she had got. 1t is
very sweet to look at the stars together,
and it is sweet to sit out among the hay
cocks. The reading of poetry out Of
the same book, with brows all close and
arms all mingled, is very sweet; the
pouring out of the whole heart in writ
ten words, which the writer knows
would be ridiculous TO any one but the
dear one to whom they are sent, very
sweet; but for the girl who has made 4
shirt for the man she loves, there has
come moment in the last stitch of it
sweeter than any stars have produced.

Josh Billins as a Weather
Prophet.

When roosters are observed before
daylite in the morning, soreing among
the klouds, and uttering lamentations,
then look out for some sudden weather.
When you see thirteen gees walkin'
injun file, and toeing in, you can delib-
erately bet your last surviving dollar
on hard winter, and great fiuctious-
ness during the next season in the price
ov eowhide boots.
When spiders are seen climbing up
the wall backwards, and frogs cough
rs tho tha had the hickups, look our fur
rain; this liz a sure sign that children
will have the measles light.
If bees hang around their hives, and
m,iles are seen in a brown study, a
storm of some kind is cooking, and You
will notice the herring market is very
shifty.
Just before a heavy sno storm, ov
three foot deep, chimbly swallows are
uncommon skarce, and in the moral
world there is great lazyness in the
agitashun ov the temperance question.
If pigs squeal in the night, and grass
hoppers cum oph ov their roost, and
mingle in free fight, you may hope
for high winds in 4 few weeks, and also
the typus fever in your neighoorhood.

Heavens Roll-call.

A soldier, mortally wounded, was ly-
ing in hospital dying. All was still,
he had not spoken for some time. His
last moment was just at hand. Sud-
denly the silence was broken, and the
attending surgeon was startled by the
voice of the dying man uttering, clear
and strong, the single word, "Here 70
"What do you want'" asked the sur
geon, fastening to his cot. A moment
elapsed. There was seeming struggle
after recollection; then the lips Of the
dying soldier mumbled, "Nothing; but
it was roll-call in heaven, and / was
answering to my name"
These were his last words on earth.
At the roll-call in heaven will the read
er be ready to answer to his name?

All Mixed Up.

A certain witness in an assault and
battery suit we once heard, mixed up
things considerably in giving his ac-
count of the affair. After relating how
Dennis came to time and struck him, he
proceeded:
$50, yer honor, L just hauled off and
wiped his jaw. just then his dog cum
along, and hit him again."
"Hit the dog?" tIL"
''No, yer honor, hit Dennis. And
then / up with stun and throwed it al
him, and rolled him over and over"
"Threw stone at Dennis?" H
cat the dog, your honor. And he
got up and hit me again"
"The dog?'
"No, Dennis. And with that, stuck
his tail betwixt his legs and run off,"
"Dennis ?''
''No, the dog. And when he came
back at me he got me down, and then
pounded me, yer honor" .-- .-
"The dog came back at you?''
"No, Dennis yer honor, and he isn't
hurt any at ALL ..-....

Brooms and Sweeping.

If brooms are wet in boiling suds
once Il week they will become very
tough, will not cut the carpet, last
much longer, and always sweep like
new broom. A very dusty carpet may
be cleaned by setting pail of cold wa
ter out by the door; wet the broom in
it, knock it to get out all the drops,
sweep yard or so, then wash the broom
again as before, and sweep again, being
careful to shake all the drops off the
broom, and not sweep far at time.
The water may need to be changed once
or twice if the carpet is very dusty.
Snow sprinkled over carpet and swept
off before it has time to melt and dis
solve, is also nice for renovating soiled
carpet. Moistened Indian meal is used
with good effect by some housekeepers.

How to Judge of the Weather.

When you desire to know what the
weather is to be, go and select the small
lest cloud you see, keep your eyes uron
it, and if it decreases and disappears,
it shows state of the air which will
be sure to be followed by fine weather;
but if it increases in size take your coat
with you if you are going from home,
for falling weather will not be far of.
The season is this: When the air is be-
coming charged with electricity you
will see every cloud attracting all lesser
ones toward it, until it gathers into
shower; and, on the contrary, when the
fluid is passing off or difusing itself,
then large cloud will be seen breaking
to pieces and dissOlving. So weather
prophet tells us.
