FJohn Miller Murphy, did you ePer
have any little hatcnet when you was a
boy? and did you hack cherry tree.
and own up, because you could not tell
a lie? Because, il you did, your politi-
cal changes have not been the only
changes you have manifested since ear
ly manhood. Or perhaps your unap-
preciative parent, unlike Georges, gave
you a tremendous fogging for telling
the truth, and cured you of that habit
for al time to come; and by practice
havt come to regard avasion the better
poHcy, though your natural instincts
re9blt at open falsehood, as, for in
st9cne, your ill:disguised malice under a
jtular demeaner, of associating US, on
SEVERAL occasions, with matter with
Which you know we never had any
connection or sympathy

TRIBUNE SUSPENDED We read with
unfeigned sorrow the following an
nouncement in the last issueof the TazV
coma Daily Tribune:
"sUspENs1oN.--With this issne the
publication of the Daily Pacific Tribune
is indefinitely postponed. 1t has never
more than paid-expenses. ana for sorre
months past has not done that. By
pinching economy and untiring industry
on the part of its publisher (who has
received no wages for his is-iaher} Only
has its, existence been protracted so
long; and. after fair trial. he,ooes not
feel justified in continuing further tie

limited means. the patronage bestowed
upon the paper by the citizens Of Taco
ma has been very generous and We thank
them for it. BIT it was quite insnffi-
cint, and hence this suepension. If in
future the7impreyed condition of things
should warrant us in resuming the PUB,
lication of tile Daily, we shall be only
too happy to take upon ourself the labor
and responsibility.
Poor Prosch is another melancholy
victim of misplaced confidence in the
Land Ring. No dog could have shown
greater fidelity or more hu nble servility
to brutal and thankless master than
he has exhibited to that idelectable or
ganization of sharpsrs operating under
the shield of the Northern Pacific Rail
road. He has been ready endorser OF
all their schemes to defraud the public,
swift witness to bear testimony in their
defence against all accusations published
whatever they suggested without cues
ton, and sacrificed all character he may
have heretofore had for truth orlhonest
intention, in their service, and az might
have been anticipated, the heartless and
soulless gang of eormofants he Served.
leave him to starve when they have no
further use for his services. The editor
of the other Ring organ. starved out of
Kalama some weeks since, was about
Portland recently, in rags and filth,
begging for money to pay his passage to
San Francisco. Thus ends the newspa-
per representatives of the two great
speculative. railroad towns founded by
the Land Rings of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, and newspapers are invaria-
bly, the most reliable index of the condi-
ton Of the towns they represent. a9i's
1t is due to Mr.. Prosch to say in this
connection, that be is no hummer or
loafer; his paper always exhibited un-
mistakable evidence of industry and
close application to his calling, giving
TO it more local intelligence than to any
other journal upon Puget Sound, though
not always of an important or very reli-
able character. Mr.. Prosch will con-
tinue the publication of his Weekly and
we heartily wish him better success
than the circumstances of his present
location warrant US in hoping for him.,

EFFECT OF IMAGINATION - The
Troy Times relates the following,
which may, strike the reader as the
enects of the Imagination of the boy,
or Of the writer: "a lad named
Cummings fell from a car at White
nall, Wednesday, and the train
passed over his arm, severingit. The
iad, with great presence of mind, lay
until the train had passed, and thus
escaped further injury When the
,ad was taken home, his arm was
brought after him. 1t was thrown
INTO a pail, when the poor little fel-
low screamed with pain. The sew
ered limb was then placed in box
ana buried in the garden. Shortly
al1er he said that something was
", u,nl,awllng in the inside of the hand.
tne limb was exhumed, when q
.alge worm was discovered in the
pam OF his hand. A large jar was
saen obtained, and it became neces-
sa[y TO crowd the arm in, when the
sanerer fsirly went into peroxysms
=, pain. The limb was placed in a
M ,sr partly filled with alcohol, and
,;,s ,aen replaced In the ground. The
ans ,e Fellow complained that his arm
anu a hngers were in q terrible
s,a'hped position, and that the little
haser and the next one were grow

FOR THE TIMES.
To +. EN-.
'Tis sweet ct evenings pensive hours
To muse on joys of other days,
When sweetly bloomed youths fair bower.
Illumed by fancy's golden rays.
oh! then hope flew on gilded wings,
And flowers around our pathway strsW'd,
And ours was all that romance brings
To cheerful make life's future roads.
But though those days have passed away.
Like pleasant dreams at morning light.
Yet it is sweet by memory's ray
To gaze upon the vision bright:
To hear again the converse sweet
The ringing laugh. the merry tone;
To see the smile to hear the jest
OF valued friend now from us gone.
How dear should then each token be;
How priced the gift from loves own hand;
Since 1t can aid fond memory
To lead us mid the friendly band.
How sweet 10 sit and look them DER
To feel we have their pledge Of love;
And thankful prize the goodly store
OF prayers sent up to God above
Dear F*x.s*., though feeble pen
These lines on memory's pleasures trace;
Though often thy form have seen.
And you beheld my friendly face;
Yet Will breathe wish for thee
Warm, ardent, and no less sincere
That dark ming ills from thee may fee.
And ne'er be thine pale sorrows tear.
May virtues calm and steady light
Shine on your path and cheer your road;
May you ne'er know of moral night,
But ever love, and trust in God: r
May friendships balm console your breast,
And heavenly hope be ever nigh
And Death be but time of rest,
To lift your soul to joys on high.

OUR FASHION ARTICLE.
/ EXPRESSLY FOR THE TIMES" u

EXPRESSLY FOR THE "TIMES.'
Fashion dictates now that ladies
must present long, lank appear
ance. They have discarded hoops
and bustles, giving only a suf-
fieient fullness to the back of their
skirts to prevent them from falling
flat and formless to the feet. Nine.
Demorest says:
"All the tendencies this season,
as the last, are to length wise designs.
Short, round little bodies have de-
cidedly the best of it, for the stripes,
the lengthwise puffings, the perpen-
dicular lines, increase their appar-
ent height, and add a touch of state
liness to even rOty-pOly figure"
There is greater demand than
ever for Jets, bugles, beads, etc., and
ladies who have never shone before,
are fairly dazzling this season. Tab
liers and over-skirts, cuirasses and
Dolmans, jackets and opera wraps,
all will be wholly or almost covered
with embroidery. Black fabrics will
be embroidered with black jet or
gray steel: gray fabrics with gray
steel; blue-gray and pale blue with
blue steel; very light colors and
white with white jet. Stuffs, laces,
and tulle, all will be embroidered,
and when the embroidery is not exc
cuted with beads, silk, chenille, or
worsted will be used. The cuirass,
or sleeveless jacket, promises to be
avery important addition to a toilet
for the coming Fall and Winter, al
though it has been "the rage" for
a season already. 1t is to be made
of velvet, of silk, or of cashmere,
and heavily beaded in clusters and in
stripes, like those now seen of lace
and grenadine, and will have an
apron over-skirt to match. The low
necked cuirass will be worn for
evening dresses. 1t will be made
OF colored silks for white muslin and
gauze dresses, and of dark velvet for
light silks. The long "apron over
skirt is quite as popular, and is
braided or embroidered and beaded,
same as the cuirasses, and generally
worn with them. The skirts of
dresses are still tied back by strings
placed inside the breadths at the
side, so that the fronts are quite
tight, leaving the backs long and
flowing. a E 10 z, &rH

Chickens want no food for many hours after
tbev are hatched, a. they are then digesting
the yolk of the egg, which constitutes their
first food, and acquiring strength to run
about. When they begin to peck they should
be fed with soft food and very small grain.
Unquestionably the best soft food is an egg
beaten up with tablespoonful OF milk aud
heated in the oven or by the side of the fire
until it sets into a soft custard. Chickens fed
or partially fed on this make wonderful prog
ress. II they are to make large fowls, they
must be fed soon after daylight; il, az is too
often the case, they are hungry for three
hours in the morning, they are always stunt

first thing, and, while they ara young, every
two or three hours during the day.-Raral

HORSE NOTES.

The Withers Stakes 1s74-a sweepstakes for
three ear-olds, 500 entrance, half forfeit, with
ST. 600 added the second horse to receive 5000 out
o. the stakes. to be run on the first day of the
spring meeting, not less than one week prior to
the Belmont Stakes, one mile-cOsed with 81
entries the 1st inst. Among the entries will be
found IS public performers during the year 1873.
This will be the first for three ods at the
spring meeting OF the American Jockey Club, and
the distance, being mile only, presents to turf
men very desirable opportunity to test their
colts and FLIES prior to starting them for the Bel
mont and Ladies' Stakes, and also gives the book
makers q basis for their ventures for the
eight horses in other engagements. OF the
Is colts aud FLIES that appeared last
year nearly all of them were winners in turn, and
1t VIII tax the ingenuity Of the most sagacious
wizard or soothsayer to tell which OF them will be
the best in June next. Mr.. BelmOnt's Beatrice,
Countess, Steel Eyes and King Amadeus were all
winners. Mr.. Puryear's Grnstead, Mr.. WiLhers
MacaroOn, Mr.. Chambcrlin's WeathercOck, Mr..
DOnahue's Dublin, Mr.. Crouse's Culpepper, Mr..
COttrill's Bay Rum and Mr.. Norris Battle Axe all
won capital races, and ought to be winners In
their three old FORMS The Withers Stakes for
1879 also closed the LIST inst. with 81 entries, ALL
of course, untried ones; but the majority OF them
will appear In the twO-yearOld events next sum-
mer, when some estimate OF their calibre may be
formed.
