A Night in the Country.

About IL o'clock the dogs take
tongue in. The faithful watch-dogs
generally form themselves into oranges,
each containing about seven hundred
dogs, for mutual aid and benefit in the
illicit distillation of mutton. Every
night one hundred dogs steal silently
away to kill sheep, while the
other six hundred bark furiously, to in
duce the owners to believe they are,
like the Hon. Elijah Pogram, "active
to their trust" and to cover the bloody
operations of their fellows.a Al mid
night the COW, whose calf has been reft
from her, having reflected on her loss,
lifts up her voice and laments. The
lament of sorrowful COW in a barn is
something sui ge1leris in the matter of
sounds. In the first place, 1T takes her
long time to become loud, and an
equally long time to fill the barn with
noise. But when the building is
crowded with "moo and it begins to
leak out at the windows and doors in
muffled and melancholy thunder, she
has a long interval of rest to prepare
another blast ere the first undulation
has been exhausted. About two in the
morning, she is drowned out and ST.
fenced by jackaas somewhere in the
country, who, having nerved himself for
the effort by silence of twenty-four
hours, delivers himself of bray that
makes the sky bright with responsive
shower of shooting stars. There is an
awful silence for about twenty minutes,
no animal daring to call his voice his
own then the jackass sings again. Just
as the country side is coAgratulating
itself that the infection is over, for an
other interval of twenty minutes, he
discharges third volley, AMI then is
heard no more. You, however, do not
know that he has broken a blood vessel
or gone to sleep but, with a dreadful
uncertainty as to when the next bray
will occur, put your head under the
clothes, and you thumbs in your ears,
and wait.
LAMM's fireless locomotive has been
in use for sometime on a section of tn
New Orleans and Carrollton railrosa
According TO Gen. Beauregard, presi-
dent of the railroad company, these
locomotives have resulted in gain over
horses of twenty minutes to the round
trip of six miles. They re more man
ageable than horses, being more readily
stopped and started. They set out
with 123 pounds pressure, make the
round trip, and get back to the starting
point with 40 to so pounds. One dunn
my is equal 70 nine mules.

To Clean Teeth.

If you will only keep your teeth clean
they won't decay. The wonderful dem
tifrices which are sold at fabulous prices
are greatly inferior to simple mixture
of soap and prepared chalk, with a little
something like orris root; but the
essential articles are soap and chalk.
The druggist will prepare you enough
for a quarter of dollar to last long
time. When you go to bed, with a
broad, soft-tooth-brush go through the
mouth thoroughly. If disposed to a
bad mouth, you may repeat the dose in
for keeping the teeth clean is a tooth
pick. a soft goose quill, which you mus
use after eating, no matter though it is
piece of apple, and. if convenient,
after the pick use mouthful of water
to rinse from the teeth what the tooth
pick may have left.

JUDGE NOT.

How do we know what hearts have yilest sin
How do we known
Many, like sepulchres, are foul within,
Whose outward garb is spotless rs the snow,
And many may be pure we think not so.
How near to God the souls OF such have been,
What mercy secret penitence may win
How do we know?
How can we tell who sinned more than we?
How can we tell?
We think our brother walked guiltily,
Judging him in self-righteousness. All, well
Perhaps had we been driven through the hell
OF his untold temptations, we might be
Less upright in our daily walk than he
How can we tell2
Dare we condemn the Ills that others do?
Dare We condemn
Their strength is small, their trials not few,
The tide Of wrong is difficult to STEM
and If to us more clearly than TO them
Is given knowledge of the good and true,
More do they need our help and pity too;
Dare we condemn2
God help us all, and lead US day by day,
God help us all
We cannot walk alone the perfect way,
Evil allures us, tempts us, and we fall,
We are but human and our power Is small
Not one of may boast, and not a day
Rolls DER our head but each one need TO say,
God bless us all

BRIGHAM Young's Utonia.

this way we will save our means for the

rage, the table was decorated by an
artist whose business is to attend to this
department alone. Lakes in minia-
ture, composed of glass, were filed

donna is said to have a passion for
horse-shoes, some remnant of a super
stition of her ancestry. and it is borne
out by the number of earrings and
charms which she possessed in this
shape. One of her latest acquisitions
was a watch in silver and black enamel,
made to represent oxidized silver (but
permanent, which oxidized silver is

worn suspended from the waist. Ii was

formed that an immense demand has
since sprung up for this quaint article
of jewelry, and that orders can hardly
be supplied for it. It is not very ex-
pensiye, and it is certainly useful and
pretty ornament, the work being of
guaranteed quality, which is not always
the case with fancy watches. The same
house has produced a novelty in neck
laces which consists of rows of small
zeal gold coins of any nationality. 1t is
very odd, and some ladies are having

"PEAnE IN THE FAMILY"

We have frequently heard it said (and
who has not p that giving the ballot TO
woman would be fruitful source of do
mestic discord; that in case wife
should see fit TO vote differently from
her husband, there would surely be a
"fuss on hand" Husbands who would
Indignantly repel an accusation oil tyr
amy, confess themselves petty tyrants
by this and similar declarations.
Men have for so long been accustomed
to exercise the sole perogative Of gov
ernment, through all Its gradations, that
it is not surprising that many OF them
cling with such obstinacy to the old or
der of things, which makes sex head
ship. But it has always seemed to US
that the objection under consideration
is the last one that any man should
make. In point of fact, such declara-
ton amounts TO a confession that only
while he can have his own will and
way may there be peace in the family.
Even the strongest minded Of the terri
BILE "shrieking sisterhOod' have never
charged upon him more than this. In
reading an argument OF Gen. n. c.
Voris, in the Constitutional Convention
on the 18th of April, We find this Objec-
ton mentioned and commented upon in
language that accords so fully with our
own views, that we submit an extract
from the speech, hoping that those who
read it, will hereafter not be guilty OF
declaring that when women vote there
will be trouble in families:
The peace OF the family IS not secured by al
bitrary rules that are abhorrent To natural JUS
tice. Its unity is only justly secured by the
reasonable enjoyment Of the full rights Of both
husband and wife, ss equals, rs persons pos
sessing i0 the fullest extent the independent
attribute oi humanity, where. ii the husband
does wrong he Is restrained, II the wife, She j.
restrained.
Can the conscientious, intelligent exercise OF
the ballot by woman ever be properly charged
with creating family diriurbances The churl-
i,h husband who would thus destroy ihe har
mony OF his family, would much more prop
erly fnd the cause OF his family Inharmony In
his ugly temper and selfish disposition.
The despot who would not let his wife exer.
else the powers of equal citizenship, without
making trouble Ia his family, would rob hi.
wife Of her property, deny her the prerogaiIve,
ol her conscience In regard to spiritual matters
and make a slave OF her 10 hls passions, ~ re-
m0rSeleSSly ~ II she were his ciiattel. Iwould
never sacrifice her human rights for the sake
nf peace In the family. There can b. no true
love or Gnity them. Peace secured on such
humilatins terms would be pt the loss Of every
ennobling quality that makes the family r..
iatl0n worth preserving.
The improper exercise OF a power that i'm
pairs the sacredness Of the family relation may
be prohibited, but this class OF eases can never
be used Rs an excuse for denying the proper
enjoyment Of any right.

OREGON CITY LIBRARY.

IL was our pleasant fortune TO pay
flying visit to the Lowell OF the Pa
citic" short time since, and while
there We accepted an invitation to visit
the library rooms that have been re-
cently opened under the auspices of the
Clackamas County Equal Rights Club.
The rooms are in Myers building, are
quite cOmmOdious, and for the time and
means that our indefatigable friends
have been able to give to the work, are
we'll supplied.
We did not learn the exact number Of
volumes upon the shelves, but they
have the nucleus of noble library.
In the collection we noticed works Of
poetry, history, theology and fiction,
while numerous periodicals and news
papers lay upon the tables. The walls
are tastefully decorated with miniature
flags of every nation, and interspersed
with evergreens, and an occasional pic
ture.
The rooms are open on Tuesday and
Friday evenings of each week, and on
sun lay afternoons from three until six.
4 stage, suitable for the display OF
tableaus, theatricals and other enter
tainments for the benefit OF the Club, is
is conveniently fitted up at the farther
end of the room.
We hope our citizens and others
whom business or pleasure calls to Ore
gon City will not fail TO visit this
library, where at the times mentioned
they may count upon having social
chat, game Of chess, or quiet read,
just us they choose.
The object and intention Of those who
have worked 50 untiringly in establish
ing this place of resort, instruction and
innocent amusement, is most praise
worthy, and should, and we doubt not
will, be sustained by the good people of
the city.
\ lady remarked TO us that she could
now with some conscience exhort the
boys and young men of the place to STAY
away from the saloons, for TO the ever
ready question, "Wfiere shall we 90 TO
spend our spare time ?" she could read
lily reply, "To the library"
We feel and know that the efforts our
Clackamas county friends have made
and are making in this direction will
eventually bear fruit an hundred fold,
and we are assured that such action of
prominent and declared Woman Suf-
ffagists is sufficient TO silence many of
the groundless charges that ignorance
makes and prejudice keeps alive against
them. For it is written, 'by their
fruits shall ye know them"
