Az Oregon newspaper says that Joa-
quin Miller was once chief Of the Mo-
docs, and that the "dusky maiden" OF
whom he sings in the Songs of the
Sierras," was Modoe squaw. The same
paper asserts that the gentle Joaquin, -"
while at the head of the Modocs, con-
ceived the plan of attacking and sack
ing the town of Yreka, California. That
he did not carry out his plan was owing
to the fact that Yreka was nest of gam
blers, loafers and idlers, all well armed,
who would probably have given even the
Modocs fierce battle. The Modoes,
however, did not like Joaquin's failure
70 carry out the plan, aud he returned
% the white settlements. All Of this is
'elated as truth by the Albany (Oregon)
Register.

EXpreSS Sale.

The express sale advertised for some
weeks past came off yesterday, according
to announcement, and lively scene was
presented. From the result, it became ev-
dent that number of the packages had
been sent out on the first day of April +; for
instance, a gentlemen from neighboring
county bid lively on large box, and final
ly obtained it for the sum of $3.50. Upon
opening it he found it only contained a
number of wooden blocks. He became
rather excited, and threatened to touch a
match to it if it was not removed imme-
diately. Some of the boys relieved him of
his box. Another gentleman bought a
box for something over a dollar, and found
it contained nothing but two or three rocks.
A venerable Judge bought a package
marked G. o. d. $500, for 81 so, and found
that he had purchased nothing but small
bundle of old brown paper, too worthless
to even use for wrapping purposes. The
packages were all well sold, and so were
the crowd, at least good portion of those
who purchased anything, and it was only
pity that it was not the first day of April.

Sunday Services at the M. e. Church.

The nj. E. Church, on Clinch street, was
well crowded morning and evening on
Sabbath last, by anxious listeners to the
excellent sermons delivered by Rev. E. o.
Haven, of New York The subject of the
morning sermon was faith, taken from the
text found in Heb. XII chap, 6y.: But
without faith it is impossible to please God,
for he that cometh to God must be-
lieve that He is, and that He is rewarder
of them that diligently seek Him." He
handled the subject better than we have
ever had the pleasure of hearing before,
and showed plainly how the elements of
faith were in every man and needed only
to be cultivated in q proper manner to
bring forth abundant fruit to the glory of
God and the salvation of his soul. A man
in every business transaction, in fact, in
almost every act of his life exercised faith,
and why should he not in religion. Hewas
listened to throughout with marked atten-
ton, and we believe that the seed sown by
him in this sermon will bring forth abund-
ant fruit to the glory of God. After his
sermon the Sacrament of the Lords Sup
per was administered, and'many of the dis
ciples of the meek and lOwly Jesus COM
memorated His suffering and death.
In the evening Rev. DR.. Haven preached
an excellent sermon on determination
to large and appreciative congregation.
There has been but one general expression
in regard to the distinguished divine and
that was hope of being permitted to hear
him again.
