4 D1RGE FOR KAMEHAMKHA.*

BYw. A. cRoFFUT.
AnD 90 our royal relative is dead;
ana 50 ne rests from gustatory labors:
The white man was his choice-but it is said
He sometimes would run down" his colored
he worshiped, as he growled his fee-fo-fum,,
Tne goddess OF the epigastrium.
And missionaries graced his festive hoard
Solemn andsucculent in twos and dozens, q
ana smoked before their hosptable lord
welcome as If they'd been his second cousins;
sWhen cold he warmed them, as he would his
They came as strangers, and he '.took them
He had hundred wives To makes things pleas
They found it quite judicious to adore him;
And when he dined the nymphs were always
Sometimes beside him, and sometimes before
When he was tired of one he called her
And told her she was s.good enough to eat"
He had good taste. Although no wars were rife
He fatted young men for his navy,
And when he cut them off in midst of 1ife
He furnished, not exactly grave-but gravy.
He had bed, but camped out on his shallot,
While other people occupied his palate.
But the deceased could never hold candle
Who gloat Der gossip and get fat on scandal
The cannibals of civilized society
They drink the blood of sisters with their
: rations,
And crunch the bones of living regulations,
They kill the soul; he only claimed the dwelling.
They take the sharpened scalpel of surmses, +
And cleayef the snews where the heart is swelling
And slaughter fame and honor fer their prizes;
They make the spirit in the body quiver;
They quench the lights; he only took the liver!
I've known some hardened customers, wot,
few tough fellows-Pagans beyond question
wish had got into his dinner-pot,
Although I'm certain they d defy digestion,
And break his jaws, and ruin his tesophagus,
Were he the chief of beings anthropophsg-

How fond he was of children to his breast
The tenderest nurslings gained free admission;
Rank he despised-ner if they came well dressed
Cared he If they were plebeian or patrician.

Another Small Withdrawal.

Iron. H.. Waia Walla Union. Nov. ~.
On the Eth inst. there was plat filed in
the Land Office at this place, showing the
line of tn" Northern Pacific COmpany's pro-
posed branch road leading from their main
line across the Cascade Mountains to Puget
Sound. 1t also shows the boundary Of the
land grants along it's line, extending forty
miles Oh either side Of the road. Accom-
panying the map came an order that the
land within this cishty-mile limit bc with
drawn from public entry and settlement,
and that this withdrawal should reach back
to the 18th Of August last. The line Of road
~ it appears on paper is q very crooked
one--it enters this Territory near Pen d.
Oreillc Lake, and thence bears southwest
crly until it crosses the Columbia near the
mouth Of the Grand C"ulce--tlIcncc it bears
in a general north-we>tcrly course, crosses
over the Skagit pass, and thence hears
so,,tl,erly. up the Sound. and terminates at
Tacoma. Tho land. grant is eighty miles
wide, and the nolthcn limit IL sup
posed to liz forty miles north Of the liae If
road rs nearly as may be. The northern
limit "f The section Of country withdrawn
enters our Territory near its northeastern
corner, and bears snltIl-westerly, and just
leaves Fort Colvillc out. After it crosses
tho Columbia river it then bears north
westerly and reaches salt water ut point
only six miles south Of the boundary line
bc,wcen the United States and British CO.
lnmbia. Nearly the whole Of that portion
Of our Territory lying north Of this grant is
included in Indian reservations, ard there
is not probably sufficient good land there,
now open to settlement, to furnish homes
for fifty settlers. 1t takes in nearly all Of
Stevens. Whitman. and Yakima counties, as
the southern boundary crosses the Columbia
near Priests Rapids and passes within a
mile of Yakima city. About the only por-
ton Of Yakima county that IL not included,
south Of the withdrawal. Is covered by the
Simcoc Indian Reservation.
1t is now safe to say that Dinctccn-twenti-
eths If Washington Territory lies within
the limits Of either this railroad grant or the
grant to the Company's main line, or else
il included in some Indian reservation.
From all these causes, and also because there
is great proportion Of land IN tine northern
portion Of this Territory that is not suited
to agricultural purposes, 1t il not going too
far to say that ut present for every acre that
is open to, and fit for settlement, there are
one hundred that cannot he occupied. This
is not very cheering spectacle for those
who are anxious to see the country settled
and improved, still it Is the plain, unvar-
nislIed truth.
