WHEN WILL THE END Gomez

When Legislators keep the law,
When banks dispense with locks and bolts;
When berries, whortle, rasp and straw,
Grow bigger downward through the bo1i
When he that selleth house or land
Shows leak i'll roof or flaw in right;
When harberdashes choose the stand
Whose window has the broadest light;
When preachers tell us all they think,
And party leaders all they mean;
When what we pay for that we drink,
From real grape to coffee bean;
When lawyers take what they wo~ld give.
And doctors give what they would take;
When city fathers eat to live,
Save when they feast for conscience sake;
When one that hath horse on sale,
Shall bring his merits to the proof,
Without a lie for every nail,
That holds the iron on the hoof;
When in the usual place for rips
Our gloves are stitched with special care,
And guarded with the whalebone tips,
Where first umbrellas need repair;
When Cubas weeds have quite forgot
The power of suction to resist,
And claret bottles harbor not
Such dimples as would hold your fist;
When publishers no longer steal,
And pay for what they stole before;
When the first locomotive wheel
Rolls through the Hoosac tunnels bore;
TIL then let Cumming blaze away,
And Milier's saints blow up the globe;
But when you see that blessed day,
Then order your ascension robe.

and shouts "Janer' at the top Of bis voice,
under the impression that you are up stairs,
an impression that is speedily removed. To
cover the confusion Of his retreat, he steps

THE DIVORCED WIFE OF SENATOR
MITCHELL.

There is now employed in this city as q
house servant,a woman who was a few years
ago the wife Of rising young lawyer in But
Ter county. After her marriage there was
short year of welded love and the birth of
daughter Then came estrangement and
aversion on the part of the husband, ending
in his desertion Of wife and child Left PEN
ness and broken-hearted, the poor mother
struggled 10 support herself and offspring,
doing whatever her hands found to do, aud
in the course of a few years she applied for
and obtained divorce. The husband went
to California, and finally settled in Oregon.
He had talent, ambition and assurance
three great requisites for success in life.
Dabbling in politics, he awoke one morning
to find that the Legislature Of Oregon had
elected him Senator of the United States.
He had left the wilds of Butler county only
some six years before, going, he cared not
where, to escape the silken bonds of his mar
riage, which had become calling fetters Of
iron. Then his name was John Mitchell
Nipple, but the Senator, when the ayes and
noes are called will answer to the name of
John II. Mitchell. The Mitchell Of Oregon
is the Hipple of Butler county. He will sit
in the Chamber that once echoed to the ring
ing periods Of Webster and Clay, courted
hattered and honored as rising-perhaps a
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ALI that man could
ask Of promise for the future will be bis.
His lines have fallen in pleasant places.
Surely, the mutations of life are beyond
our comprehension. Fiction presents, in I'll
its range, no greater contrast Of fate or for
tune than that between Nipple or Mitchell,
in the Senate of the United States, and tho
once cherished wife Of bis bosom, meniai
in Franklin Hotel. He is the guest Of tho
earsh's great ones; the peer, as the world
goes, Of men of historic fame; she toiliug
slave, who dimes from off the plate she late
ly washed. with no hope Of a brighter day
this side the grave. Yet who can say that
her lot, dark and gloomy as it seems. is less
happy than bis Who knows that there is
not constantly before him torturing visions of
deserted woman and little child ?-phan-
toms that will not down at his biddidg.--

WITH reference to the report of the
salmon take for the past season in the
Columbia River, Oregon, the accounts
given by trustworthy travellers of the
myriads of salmon that swarm III the
waters of that region are simply mar
Yellous. The writer once saw in the
studio of Paul Kane, Canadian artist
who had wandered for many years
through the wilds of Oregon,a picture
representing rainbow formed by an
immense shoal of salmon leaping up
a acascade onlthe Columbia River. The
arch formed by the fish was perfectly
regular, and the effect of light upon
their scaly sides reaIly gave the idea
of rainbow. The picture, the artist
asserted, was perfectly true TO nature,
having been sketched by him at the
moment. He further said-and other
explorers corrobofate his statement
that when the fish are running up the
Walla Walla they are pressed so close
together that the Iudians merely drive
their spears among them at random,
often bringing up three or four at one
drive. sizlil saF8 4&hfaA 10
