SAD TRAGEDY.

A terrible tragedy occurred at
Drain station, Oregon, on the 2lst
inst. 1t is thought to be one Of
those cases of calamity resulting
from the careless use of firearms
A young man named Tracy, went
to the station, where two men
named Poland and Stewart were
at work. AS he approached, he
raised his gun in jocular manner
asking Stewart to hand over his
money. The latter responded he
had but little, when Tracy said
Poland always had plenty, and he
would give him a rattle, and rails
ing his gun, fired, and the ball en-
tered Poland's breast. Poland
cried, 'you have killed me-" and
started for the house, but fell before
reaching it. Stewart started for
the doctor, but coming up to Tracy
the latter proposed to go, when
Stewart went to Poland's assistance.
Being unable 20 move him, he Went
to neighbor's house for help. On
his return Tracy was found lying
dead, shot through the head. The
parties were OF good reputation,
and were friends. Poland is NOR
tally wounded. Will people never
quit fooling with firearms,

AWFUL SMART.

A little brief authority is too
much torsome men. They magnify
it into monstrous proportions, and
frequently come to grief, as did the
toad that tried to swell to the size
of an OK. One of these overly
smart fellows, occupying the exalted
position of Deputy Assessor in San
Benardino county Cal, went to
assess a widow lady's property, not
long since. He must count all her
articles of furniture. Wouldn't
take her word for the number Of
chickens she had, but got some corn,
called the chickens up and counted
them. The widow began to "bile"
then, and when the awful smart
Assessor went out to count the bee
hives, she just tipped her apron
over her head and gave one Of the
hives a kick that "cop-sot" it.
About three quarts Of bees struck
the selfimportaut Assessor. They
counted hiM out. He fled, and
there was no order about his lesv-
ing. He went energetically. So
did the bees after him, ard each
carried a red-hot "fnt" along. That
Assessor went home with a face
looking like an underdone plum
pudding. His "smart" now is
genuine.

EARTMQUAKE Ar SAN SALVADOR.

News from Aspinwall, via Ha-
vana, April 10th, states that the
city OF San Salvador, Central Amer
lea. was almost entirely destroyed
on the 4th inst, by an earthquake.
Eight hundred persons perished and
twelve millions Of dol worth Of
property are reported destroyed.
The ground heaved like a ship in a
gale. A terrific laundering burst
from under foot, walls tottered and
were rent, roofs sank to the ground.
Three violent shocks followed in
succession. The widest consterna-
ton prevailed. Servants began TO
scream, horses grew frantic, dogs
howled. Men, women and children
fled to the fields with their yalu-
sbles hastily collected. This was
followed by the ringing Of bells and
the beating OF drums, for the pur-
pose Of calling all soldiers under
arms, to protect the city against
murder and pillage, which always
accompany such events there. In
dians from the forest frequently
prowllng for rrey, and can only be
checked by bayonets Of troops.
San Salvador was founded in
1889. III 1854 it was a well built,
splendid city containing a popula-
tion of 1000; but on the night of
April 10Th, it was completely de-
stroyed by an earthquake, and
about one hundred lives lost. 1t
was then the seat of government.
In 1855, it again became the seat of
government, and its trade had re-
sumed its former tlounshing condi-
tion up to the late calamity. It's
population was some $4,000.

FUNERAL or GEN. CANBY.

The funeral obsequies of Gen.
Candy took place at Portland on
last Friday. In accordance with
the request Of Mrs. Canby, tie cere-
monies were conducted without dis
play. They were participated in
by a large number Of citizens, and
many Of the military. The burial
services were held in the presence
Of the widow and a few immediate
friends OF the family These were
conducted by Rev. 6. W. Izer, Of
the Methodist Church, DR.. A. J..
Lindsey, Of the Presbyterian
Church, and Rev 7. j.. Eliot, Of
the Unitarian Church. After these
ceremonies were finished the funeral
cortege was formed and proceeded
to the Amory, where the body was
exposed to public view from y
o'clock NJ. to 4 y NJ. Thousands
of persons availed themselves Of the
privilege thus furnished of looking
upon the countenance Of the mar
tyred soldier, for the last time on
earth. About FIVE o'clock P NJ.
the body was taken to the Lone
Fir Cemetery and deposited in a
vault, where they will remain until
the arrival Of the brotlerin-law Of
the deceased.

A MASSACRE IN GRANT PARISH.

\ dispatch from New orleans,
April 10Th, gives the particulars OF
the massacre ofone hundred negroes
by whites. The troubles arose out
ofthe filling of the parish officers.
The officers elected by the people
were ignored by the Lynch Return
ing Board. Then Gov. kellogg
filled the places with his appointees.
These failing to quality, the Cover
nor ordered the parties originally
elected to assume the offices. A
force of negroes then took possession
of tine Court House at Colfax. It
is said they were instigated by
members Of the Kellogg Leglsla-
ture. The negroes erected barri-
cades, from which they issued, plum
dering plantations, stopping steam
boats for provisions, etc. Meantime
the whites gathered at Coliax
Their numbers were increased by
accessions from other parishes, until
one hundred and fifty whites were
encamped around the Court House
The first fight occurred on Saturday
the 18th. The white leaders OF the
negroes had gone aboard passing
steamer and left for New Orleans
before this. The result of the first
fight was the defeat Of the whites,
who were commanded by Hadnet,
a member of the Fusionist Tegisla-
lure. No loss Of lite resulted from
this fight. The final battle took
place Saturday noon. The barri-
cades were stormed and the Court
House assailed, bat the whites be-
ing unable to oust the negroes set
fire to the Court House, and as the
terrified negroes ran out, shot them
down ore by one to the number Of
one hundred. Many were also
wounded and the rest escaped.
The whites lost two killed, includ-
ing l1adnet. Several were wound
ed. Such is the news in brief as it
comes by telegraph. 1t must strike
every one as a cold blooded, heart
less butchery. A butchery that
should cause humanity to be asham-
ed of It's species. The brutality is
heightened by a later dispatch; "Not
a single colored man was killed
until after they had surrendered"
These colored men were doubtless
guilty Of aggravating things; but
the strife and contention which
have ragged among parties there,
for 50 long, render it quite as proba-
ble that the mob of whites who
masSacred them on this occasion,
were just as guilty Of bad things.
These wanton acts Of cruelty and
blood are a disgrace to civilization,
and should be discountenanced in
every possible way.

will back the Legislature OF Mis-

Gen, Sherman has written a long
letter, dated the 18th inst, to his

should be entrusted to army officers

to compel the observance Of engage

the recent murders. ~ do not
think that tile murder Of General
Canby was the individual act Of
Captain Jack, and ifthey (the Mo-
docs) all be swept from the earth,
they themselves have invited it.
The whole matter must be left to
the officers on the spot. They must

Piegan attack aud General Custar

Of too much harm being done. 10

reached through persuasion or fear
we cannot hope for peace"
