SOLDIERS HOMESTEAD Law.

There seems to be some misunder-
standing regarding the amendments
which passed Congress last session
in regard to the Soldiers Homestead
law. The ame ndments proposed were
various and important, but they all
failed to pass except the following,
which embodies all the change that
has been made in the Homestead law:
THAT any person entitled, under the
provisions of the foregoing sections,
to enter homestead, who may have
heretofore entered under the Home
stead laws a quantity of land less
than 160 acres. shall be permitted
to enter so much land as when added
to the quantity previously entered,
shall not exceed 160 acres" That
it, that whereas the law of 1872 per-
mits soldiers to enter homesteads on
what are called "double minimum
lands" or lands within the limits of
railroan grants, and whereas many
soldiers had entered so acres each,
they are now permitted to enter q
whole quarter section, or 160 acres of
such lands. The amendments sim
ply double the quantity of land that
may be entered under the law

DESTINY AND CHARACTER.


There is no law in human affairs
more immutable and potent than that
which connects, by indissoluble bonds,
d stiny with character. If we would
know what is to befall US, in the
truest sense of the phrase, we must
correctly appreciate our inmost char
acter. This gives the key to all our
future, and unlocks secrets which no
oracle can reveal. 1t is not merely
the events and circumstances of our
lives that are SO largely controlled by
our inmost dispositions, though this
Is true to an extent that we rarely
appreciate. What are the great
events that mark the life of the indul-
gent pleasure seekers? Sickness, dis
ease and premature decay. OF the
81 iendtkrift? Poverty. Of the self
ish and miserly? Dissolution and
loneliness. OF the faithless and dis
honest. The finger of seorn and the
life of disgrace. On the other hand,
integrity, economy, and energy lead
inevitably to the most permanent sue
cess; benevolepce and good will bring
friends; temperance and good habits
are accompanied by health and long
life. Even the most external sur
roundings of life are thus more close
ly allied to character, and more de-
pendent upon it, than we ever imag-
inc. But life is not made up of
events; man is not "the creature of
circumstances, as is so often assert
ed. The great results of life flow
from character, not from condition.
Different characters bring out of the
same outward events totally opposite
issues. The cheerful and the mel
ancholy man look upon the same
scene in nature. but how differently
are they impressed! to the one all is
beauty and delight, to the other all
is gloom and sadness.
The world without reflects that
which is within. So in social life, we
reap that which we sow, and society
is often to us but reflection of our
own nature. The selfish or proud, !,
or cold or jealous disposition suffers
annoyance, disappointment and pain.
from the same sources which bring
love and JOY to the heart of the gem
tie and kind. Every characteristic
has magnetism by which it draws
its like to itself, unfolding from 9TH
ers that which is in sympathy with it
self. perpetuating and recreating it.
There are no blessings which may
not be changed into evils, no trials
or sufferings that may not be trans
formed into blessings. Temptation
brings ruin to one, and strength to
another; not by innate power, but
by simply evolving the character that
is tried. Pleasure is a poison to one,
and healthful ,refreshment to an
other. The same privileges, the same
discipline will cause one to rise to
heights of virtue, aud another to sink
into weakness and shame.

replied that such horses would be
exempt from surrender, and the
paper was then handed to Col.
Baneau Grants secretary, and
copies in ink made by him and Col.
Marshall. While this was being
done there were inquiries after the
health of mutual acquaintances, but
nothing bearing on the surrender,
except that Gen. Lee said that he
had on. his hands some two or three
thousand prisoners, for which he had
no rations. Sheridan at once said,
II have rations for 25, 900 men,"
Gen. Grant having signed bis note,
Gen. Lee conferred with Col. Mar
shall, who wrote his brief note of ac-
ceptance OF the terms of surrender
offered. Gen. Lee striking out the
sentence, IT have the honor to reply
to your communication, and substi-
tuting, 81 have received your letter
Of this date"
This terminated the interview, and
Gen. Lee rode back to his headquar-
ters, which were three-quarters of a
mile northeast of the Court House.
] have thus given the substance,
and for the most part the exact Ian
guage, OF Gen. Lees own account Of
the surrender. It will appear from
this that great deal has been said
about
"cgAxr's MAGsASIMfTY"
In proposing terms of surrender, and
Lees warm thanks for the liberal
terms accorded" originated simply
in the Imagination of the writer's. -
The truth is Grant only proposed the
only terms which Lee would have nc
cepted; and he knew too we'll the
mettle Of that great captain and the
heroic remnant OF the army which
had so often defeated him, not to re-
joice at an opportunity of covering
himself with glory by accepting al
most any terms of surrender.

A DISGRACE TO OREGON.

If any of our readers will go into
one of the ordinary markets of Salem
or Portland where vegetables are sold,
they will find on sale there articles
raised in California and imported to
supply the Oregon trade. We can
raise pie plant abundantly, but our
dealers import it from California be-
cause there is no reliable supply at
home; We can raise caulifower as
we'll as it can be raised anywhere,
but we do not 90 it, preferring to
send to California for ii. We even
find barrels of cucumber pickles for
sale in the stores here, brought from
California, and also canned fruit,
that we can supply at home, is foi
sale in every grocery store. All this
while our people are complaining oi
hard times and money is SO scarce
that we can hardly do business. There
is good reason why Oregon should
be scarce of money, when we send
abroad for our wagons, agricultural
implements and most of our wooden
ware.
tits simply discredit to our State
If we cannot supply our own markets
with vegetables in the proper season.
There is a constant drain of money
out of Oregon, to purchase things we
could we'll raise at home if we had
common sense ideas of economy
This valley could support twenty-five
thousand more inhabitants on th.
money we send abroad for article,
that we ought to raise at home
There seems to be good opening il
this country for more market gar
dens. Wai. Farmer

General Sherman, in conversation
on Modoc offairs, shows he fully ap-
preciates the situation. He has entered
upon the subject with his characteristic
energy. All reinforcements requir-
ed will be sent to Schofeld without
delay, to the last man that can be
spared. A regiment will be convey
ed to Omaha, to be in readiness for
prompt movement. A body of 400
Indian scouts will be raised. Sena-
tor Casserly has had several inter.
views with General Sherman, and is
satisfied no effort will be spared al
headquarters to enable General Scho-
field to infiict on Captain Jack and
his fellow savages blow that will
not soon be forgotten by them or the
tribes on the Pacific Coast. General
Sherman has no fears of a general
Indian war.

THE PARTING HOUR.

The following exquisite poem was vritten BIZ
Edward Pollock, the gifted California poet, on
the 9Th OF Jannary, 1857. 1t was given by the
poet to o friend who was about to depart on a
steamer for Oregon. Pollock said: Take
this; you may, perhaps, read and appreciate
the sentiment long after have ceased to be
among the living"
There'ssomething In the parting hour

Yet kindred, comrades. lovers, friends.
Are fated all TO part;
Eut this I've seen-and many q psng

Tnan those he leaves behind.
No matter what the Journey be.
Adventurous. dangerous. far.
To the wild deep OR bleak frontier,
TO solitude or war
Still something cheersthe heart that derss
In all OF human kind,
And they who go are happier
Than those they leave behind.
The bride goes TO the bridegroom's homo
With doubtings and with tears;
But does not Hope her rainbow spread
Across the cloudy fcars;
Alas, the mother who remains,
What comfort can she find.
But this-the gone are happier

Have you friend-a comrads dear.

A dispatch from New Orleans
dated last Saturday, says: The citi-
zens of Iberia Parish organized q
Tax-resisting Association to-day. The
meeting was very enthusiastic and
was addressed by several members
of the bar, who offered their services
free of charge. Resolutions were
adopted endorsing Governor McEne-
re, repudiating Kellogg and urging
resistance TO his usurpation of the
collection of taxes. One hundred
and thirty Metropolitans with piece
of artillery went to ST. Martinsville,
st. Martins Parish, to install Kellogg
officers.

WHERE THE Sun DOES Nor SER
A scene witnessed by some travellers
IN the North Of Norway, from a cliff
1000 feet above the sea, is thus de-
scribed:
The ocean stretched away in silent
vastness at our feet; the sound of
waves scarcely reached our airy look
out; away in the north the huge old
sun swung low along the horizon, like
the slow beat of the pendulum in the
tall clock of our grandfather's parlor
corner. We all stood silent, looking
at our watches. When both hands
came together at twelve, midnight, the
full round orb hung triumphantly above
the waves, bridge of gold running
due north, spanning the water between
us and him. There he shone in silent
majesty, which knew no setting. We
involuntary took off our hats no word
was said Combine, if you can, the
most brilliant sunrise and sunset you
ever saw, and the beauties will pale be
fore the gorgeous coloring which now
lit up ocean, heaven, and mountain. In
half an hour the sun had swung up
perceptibly on his beat, the eolors
changing to those of morning, fresh
breeze rippled over the floor, one song
ster after another piped up in the grove
behind us-we had slid into another
day.
