THE TRUNDLE BED.

As il battered on the shingles,
And against the window pane,
Peeping over chests and boxes,

Where 1t had remained so long,
Hearing all the white the music

AS she sung her sweetest accents, rs

Came with all the gush of memory,
Rushing thronging to the spot,
AS [ wandered back to childhood,
10 those merry days of yore,
When knelt beside my mother,
BY this bed upon the floor. a-.rr
Then 1t was with hands so gently
Placed upon my infant head,
And she taught my lips to utter.
Carefully the words she SAID ...

This she taught me ; then she told me

After which learned to utter
"Now lay me down to sleep"
Then it was with hands upliited,
And in accents soft and mild,
That my mother asked "Our Father"
.Fatlier. do Thou bless my child"

And it comes with all its freshness

Thurman said the Vice President made
a mistake in asking for committee, as
he was not member of the Senate, and
that body could not expect to remove
him or otherwise punish him except upon
impeachment by the House; then as the
Senate had the trial of the impeachment,
it should not forestall the action of the
House.

THE NIODOC WAR.

The war now raging in the northern
part of California between a nation Of
forty million civilized inhabitants on one
side and about five hundred half naked,
half starved Modoc Indians on the other,
bids fair to become theme of absorbing
interest to the civilized world for an in
definite period Of time. 1t would appear
like utter madness on the part of this
small band of untutored children of the
desert to raise the standard of revolt and
defy the power of this great Government
by taking up arms against its sovereign
authority, but the result of the first en-
gagement in the deadly shock of battle
demonstrates that entrenched as they
are in their mountain fastness, amid cav
ernous rocks and deep defiles of an an
cient lava bed, in which they have shell
tered themselves, they are foe not
to be despised. The result of the first
engagement, which lasted all day and
until the deep shadows of night, enabled
the vanquished to make safe retreat,
was IA killed and 80 wounded on the
part of the whites, while the Modoc war
riors held the field without any known
loss on their side. This disastrous re-
pulse to the arms of our dear good Uncle
Samuel caused a profound sensation
throughout Northern California and
Southern Oregon, and from the note of
preparation in military circles through
out the Pacific Department it is evident
the Government forces intend to renew
the battle as speedily as circumstances
will admit. Troops have been ordered
to the front from all the neighboring
military posts, while several hundred
volunteers from Oregon have offered
their services and have been accepted.
The country will watch with breathless
impotence for the earliest tidin gs from
the seat of war, while the prayers of all
good praying Christians will be offered
up to the God of battles that he may be
constrained to favor our arms. There is
now fine opportunity presented for all
that large class of citizens who, in the
dark days of the late unpleasantness,
were in sympathy with the enemies of
the best Government the world ever saw
to demonstrate their loyalty and devo.
ton to their country by an open declara-
ton of fealty to the national arms in the
trying conflict now impending between
the nation and the hostile Modoc tribe.
By demonstrating their loyalty to the
Government at this perilous hour in its
fate they may in part condone for the
errors of the past, and be accepted as
faithful subjects and loyal citizens of the
great Republic in its future march to
greatness and national renown. As for
ourselves, We are for the Government
against the Modocs in this unholy re-
bellion of the latter, and will so continue
to the end, no matter what the conse-
quences may be to ourself or to posterity.
