There seems to be an erroneous impress
sion among some of the youths of our pres
cnt day IN 10 what constitutes manliness !;
and a practical illustration Of this was given
a few evenings since in one of the street
cars by party of young men, who, notwith-
standing tho Inconsistencies OF the driver,
continued to fill the car with the fragrant
fumes Of their Havanas, to the intense an
noyance Of tho other passengers. However
the patisuce If car-drivers, like that of other
mortals, has it's bounds, and our Jehu in
question proved this; for, slan'ming open
the door with herculean force, he hOwled in
a voice OF thunder, "Dont l was already
before once told you you can't shmoke in
herei Well, l show you. Now put right
away ont dat cigar. If you don't, | show
you somebody dat will" The language was
not the e.l'st eloquent or grammatical, but it
had tho desired effect

In the death OF Mr.. Charles Briggs our
city has lost one Of its most valuable, en-
terprizing and honorable citizens. Although
he had passed the age assigned by the
Psalm'st to man, yet he possessed to a re-
markahle degree all the trsits and charac-
teristics Of youth. All Of his energies
seemed To be devoted to the advancement
of the material and commercial interests Of
his adopted city, and, by long life Of vir-
tue and exemplary conduct, justly earned
the lovc aud respect Of the entire com.
mnnity. During his long residence in New
Orleans he has filled many responsible posi-
tions, aud all with distinguished credit to
himself Whether a. citizen, merchant,
or Christian gentleman, Mr.. Briggs stood
pre-eminent, and his memory will long be
cherished 10y those who knew him to be, in
all thu walks Of life, one Of Gods noblest
creaturcs-an honest man."

Oh the S'eriff's office, it is only fair to state
that it xaS not the intention of our inform
ant to convey such an impression.
The Slcriff's flee has not been implicated
in any way with the Irregularities at the
Hall, aud the remark attributed to the
cashier Of that Office was misunderstood
ing on the part of our informant. The pur-
port Of the remark was that the Sheriff.
Office desired to keep clear Of any City Hall

OREGON INDEPENDENT CONVENTION
The Independents of Oregon held a
Convention at Salem on Thursday, the
10th inst, which was fully as respeota-
BILE in numbers and personal ch lracter
as either of the party conventions here
tofore held in that State. The following
ticket was nominated: For Congress,
Timothy w. Davenport. Of Marion
county; for Governor, T. F. Campbell,
of Polk county; for Secretary of State,
J. H. Douthitt. of Wssco county; for
Treasurer, Demas Beach, of Linn coun-
ty: for State Printer, VIM. H. Hand, of
The Dalles Mountaineer: for Superin-
tendent of Public instruction, M. NJ.
Oglesby, of Douglas county.
This ticket has the support of th7
Oregonian, the Mountaineer, the Cor~
Wallis Democrat. and the new paper just
started in Douglas county by I. M.
Gale. This triangular fight makes the
victory very uncertain.

T An honest deacon in a Connecti-
cut parish was sorely troubled about the
Copernican system of the universe. He
believed it to be unscriptural and untrue,
and he carried his doubts to his minis
ter. The latter beng, in his own eyes,
a scientific man, and also believer IN
Copernicus, said the sun was station
ary body, not revolving, as the deacon
maintained, around the earth. But the
latter pointed with an air of triumph to
to the story of Joshua when he COM
manded the "sun to stand still. " Every

passage Of Scripture where it said Josh
ua ever commanded the sun to move
