When cargo OF women arrive within hall
ing distance of the wharf IN Oregon, the en-
tire male population rushes down and proposes
marriage through speaking-trumpets. When
school ma'am arrives, she is waited upon by the
entire male community and proposed for by
each. OF course there is row, which ends by
the p arson and the justice OF the peace play
ing euchre for her, whilst the rest adjourn to
the open prairie to swear. The legislature of
that State proposes to reno 1y all this, and pro-
duce a rush Of female immigration by enact
ing law that the volun tary separation OF hus-
band and wife shall work the legal effect Of

The citizens along the line Of the Territorial
road, east Of Paw Paw, have just completed q
very msritorious enterprise, Of grading
and graveng the road-bed from Robert Morri-
sons to the corporation line. distance of two
miles. The gravel is OF the very best quality
for the work. and Is taken from the farm Of
Robert Morrison, who has shown great liberal
ity in removing his fence and allowing the
gravel to be taken from his field. Several of
the liberal citizens of this town have contributed
to the fund raised to employ lsoorers to shovel.
The public spirit Of the farmers living along
the road is shown IN the number OF days work
with team, each has voluntarily gwen, which
is from three to six. The benefit resulting
from the enterprise is public one, as all are
Interested in having pleasant drives and hard
roads.

And nothing will suffice us now
But slang that Is red hot.

But nov they say, the old sardine
Has got level head"
Once angry words would lead to blows;
But now, when "galloot'
g" Gives too much chin" or "puts on frills,
We "paste him on the snoot."
In sorrow then they spoke of death.
With pale and trembling lip;
But now, " les handed IN his checks
Or, the duffer slipped hls grip"
Then, as they grasped a f-isndly hand,
They said, How do you do ?"
But now. "what have you got that's fresh p
Or, We'll, old chap what's new?"
Then, He plays billiards we'll, we said,
OF one excelled by few;
But now, "Well he's not SLOUGH;
He shoves healthy cue."
Once on time man danced we'll
Alas tis so no more;
s. He's just the boy can shake himself
When you BOOST him on the floor"
A man once used TO 60 to lunch
When eating time drew near
And now ' he'll wrestle with his hash,''
Or tackle his daily beer"
Old friends at meeting used to pledge
Each other in cup;
But now it is, Here's to yer, Bill !"
And, " gorge, just hang that up
Oh, give me back those goo' old days,
When both the old and young
Used none but true old fashioned words,
And slang was never elung.
