An IteR - ear DevolueloooFy
History.


On the occasion of an extraor1in
ry levy Of British Soldiers being
called for to crush the American
Rebellion Of 1777, the beneit which
the Ftstsrnity's patriotism took,
may be gathered from the rebuks
that was conveyed through the
following Grand Lodge circular:
EDmBuRaH, Febuary IL, 1778.
At . Quarterly Meeting Of tho
Grand Lodge of Scotland, held here
the I'd instant, I received charge
to acquaint all the Lodges In Scot
land, holding Of the Grand Lodge,
that the Grand Lodge has seen
with concern, advertisements in the
public newspapers from different
Lodges in Scotland, not only offer
ing . bounty to recruits who may
enlist in the new levies, but with
the addition, that all such recruits
shall be admitted to the freedom Of
Masonry. The first Of these they
consider az an improper alienation
of the funds of the Lodge from the
support Of their poor and distress
ed Brethern; and the second they
regard - . prostitution Of our Or
der, which, demands the reprehen-
SION Of the Grand Lodge. What
ever share the Brethren may take,
a. individuals, in aiding these lev
ics, out Of zeal to serve their pri.
vate friends or to promote the
public service, the Grand Lodge
considered it to be repugnant to
the spirit Of our Graft that any
Lodge should take . part in such .
business, a. . collective body.
For Masonry Is an Order of Peace,
and it looks on all mankind 10 be
Brethern a. Masons, whether they
be at peace or war with each other
| as subjects Of contending countries.
The Grand Lodge therefore, strong
" enioins that the practice may Be
forthwith discontinued. By order
OF the Grand Lodge Of Scotland.

A correspondent Of the R,tral
World gives the following directions:
construct large box, aud in the
bottom of this put weli-packed cut
straw and sawdust to the depth Of
twelve inches; upon this set a water
tight box enough smaller to leave a
space Of twelve inches at the ends
and sides, and an equal space be-
tween the top and cover Of the first
named box; fill the space at the
ends and sides with the material
already mentioned. The cover of
the inside box should he lined with
some non-conducting material, as
well as the cover of the outside one.
There is sufficient heat in the boiling
water when confined in this way, to
cook whatever ID placed in the box.
The advocates of feeding cooked
feed will find this method much
more economical and convenient
than any other plan equally mex

1.-THE Negro votes he must vote
as his Master does.
j. A. VAUGHN.

One or two things regarding the
negro. Either he must be made to
keep away from the polls, or, If he
must go through with the farce of
voting, lie must be made by the con-
trolling influence Of capital, to vote
with his employers. We must labor
to this end Increasingly, and at all
temporary sacrifices pecuniarily.
The political salvation Of the state
il above all other considerations. AS
for these so-called white men who
have acted in concert to the negro
masses, white men must avoid such
political lepers as they would shun
physical lepers. Total ostracism is
the word.
We are sick of these tomfoolery
efforts on the part Of white men to
conciIiate the so-called colored pop
ulation." We are tired Of the mean
ingless word colored." The proper
word for the inferior race is negro,
and no olfensiveness need be taken
thereat by negroes. As for the
fright Of suffrage" we believe the
day is not far distant when that
wrong shall be withheld from the
race. They are incapable of voting
intelligently, or sitting on juries
with Judgment, and of witnessing
against white people with truth and
fairness. Therefore we shall hail
with delight the good time
coming when they (the negroes)
will be put back to their normal
condition--not Of slavery, but simply
of inferior freeman. --Itsscdioosa

He Will Come to 1t.

A new editor of An Iowa daily, who
acknowledges he Is inexperienced At
the business, among his first articles
very emphaticalIy rebukes the habit
of personal abuse SO freely INDUCED
in by editors. He is shocked at it,
and intends something very different.
Judging from the example of many
other editors who started out in the
same way, and speedily fell from
Christian grace, we shall expect the
editor, when he gets properly riled,
to break out something like that lii
nois contemporary who pitched into
the gentleman swinging the other
paper, as "a blear-eyed hitching-
post, a goat faced gunny-sack, wart-
cared bung-hole for cider-barrel,

Another great railroad meeting
was held In Chicago on the I'd inst,
to take into consideration the ques-
ton Of abolishing railroad passes,
and as usual they all solemnly pledg-
ed themselves to firmly adhere to
the agreement, and as usual every
one of them will violate this arrange
ment in less than six months. Cor
porations have no souls, SO they fear
no hereafter, and having no souls
they can have no conscience, so there
is no risk to run, in every one of
them going back on its pledge. AS
the railroads have held almost reg
ular monthly meeting for the past
eighteen months simply to re-affirm
this same contract, wouldn't it be a
good idea for them to institute a
railroad Congress, to hold perpetu-
al session for the exclusive purpose
of resolving query day, that the pass
system as positively, hereby abolish
ed. Those called meetings are ex-
pensive, besides very monotonous.--

ED. JOURNAL: MANY OF your
Marion county readers doubtless
think as / did Of the Pacific States
before coming here--that they are a
paradise on earth In the matters of
climate, and luxuriant vegetable
growth. Permit me to give them a
brief description of this part of the
country as see 1t.
The Willamette Valley, or Cen
trail Oregon, Is the principal agricul-
tural district. 1t is generally quite
level, and has rich loamy soil,
which, when properly cultivated
produces abundantly of wheat, rye,
oats, barley, ilax aud vegetables, and
fruits in great variety. It's timber
consists mainly In oak, maple, ash,
alder and cottonwood. The north
rrn sections are mainly timbered,
the southern mainly prairie.
The lands are nearly all owned
and occupied except along the foot
hills and In the mountain ranges,
Fast and west, which are heavily
wooded, but in many localities rich
I'm soil and susceptible of cultivation
when cleared Of the timber. I'm
proved lands are worth from five to
fifty dollars per acre; unimproved
lauds ara worth from $l.25 to S15. 90,
according to location and local all
vantages.
There Is one railroad in operation
the entire length of the valley; and
the river Is navigable one half the
year through the main part of 1t.
The rainy season begins In No.
vember and continues into April
and 1t rains in earnest when 1t rains.
The remainder of the year we have
clear, warm and pleasant days, cool
nights, and a Healthy sea breeze.
While 1t rains here six months in
the year, they never have any rain
In Eastern Oregon. The high
mountain range appears to absorb all
the moisture there is in the atmos.
phere, and the breezes which come
from the Pacific ocean laden with
spray leave the mountains dry, cool,
and invigorating.
This section Is generally much
colder than the other In winter, the
snow fall being quite heavy. This
also seems to be the. more desirable
section to those who have not become
web-footed. There is no particular
portion of Oregon in which j would
advise Immigrants to locate. l
should rather counsel each individ-
unl to examine and CHI Dose for him
self. To those Who are doing we'll
should say stay where you are.
Better not come to Oregon with the
expectation of settling in comforta-
bic homes on the day Of arrival.
Time and labor are required to secure
here as well as elsewhere.
Dss there is no danger of starving.

/ know a farmer who bought a
lumber wagon now almost thirty
years ago, and to-day it is nearly as
as good as new. 1t has been in con-
slant use, but always kept under
shelter when not behind his team, in
the field or on the road. A Deighbor
of his bought one at the same time,
and made at the same shop, but In
consequence Of always leaving II out
Of doors it went to ruin years ago,
and now he has bought new one
for the third time. This Is a fact,
and the men are living to-day, one a
successful farmer, with plenty OF
money, to use and to loan, the other
an example of the worst effects OF the
opposite system. This one instance
alone is sufficient to "point a moral"
1t should teach lesson to every man
engaged in the pursuit of agrlcul-
ture. To be constantly buying farm
tools is more than farmer can al
ford. Every farmer should have a
Toulouse, and when tool is not in
use it should stand or hang in its
place. A careful inventory Of such
tools occasionally would do much to-
ward Keeping themi i'm their place
and good repair. Industry, econo-
my and system will be Of as much
service to farmers as to any other

had fulfilled in some Of the great de-
partments of intellectual effort! What
lofty poetic thoughts and imagery
might have been forged in the boiling
caldron Of his ever restless Imagination!
With mind so capacious and penetrat-
ing he might have equaled the most
learned in Jurisprudence. A soldier by
nature, he was fitted to be the peer of
the most renowned in arms. And into
what lofty walks of oratory his proud
and soaring spirit might have led him
his comparatively few efforts fully at
test.
But, alas with natures royal signet
OF intellect enstamped upon his brow,
and with more than the lion courage
enthroned within his fiery heart, he
became the slave of intemperance. And
there were oft-times, when thus inhu-
enced, that his perturbed spirit ssdwelt
apart" ''For his load stars had gone
out one by one; and as the darkness
fell the strong and steady wind had
changed into fierce and aimless tor.
nado, and he was without object, vet
without rest. His vehement, keen and
stormful nature was stung into fury
he brooded in gloomy meditation, and
eat up his own heart" :"
Yes, intemperance was the ''Iliad Of
all his woes With spirit that never
blanched before mortal foe, victorious
in every personal conflict beside, with a
brow bedecked to some extent with
both the civic and military wreath, he
yielded to this insatiate demon, and the
star of poor McClung plunged into
darkest night.
The spirit of death did not heed his
fervid innovation. It came not ''soon,
but alas! too surely. Into what un-
known realm it waited his spirit Of un-
rest We know not, ''For every human
soul stands between a hemisphere of
light and one of darkness-on the con-
fines Of two evcrlastingly hostile en-
pires, Necessity and Free-will."
Whether his otherwise intractable
soul was impelled by the one soul or
the other. who can say He, and he
alone, who so wonderfully fashioned it.,
and who implanted in his bosom the
mighty energies and the wayword i'm

Ia VOICE FROM THE CHERRY
TREE. t
By GEORGE W. BUNGAH.

"You are little thiefI' 1 said
To robin red-breast blithe and fat;
: "You stole my cherries ripe and red
Now, what have you to say to that!
You need not say you must be fed
nBegone, oryou'll get 'tit for tat"
In sonsf,l speech he softly said,
His bosom glowing with the morn:
'' ssI taks my pay in cherries red
For working in your vines and corn !;
Thzt is the way earn my bread;
Pray drive me not away with scorn.
: HMy sweetest strain sing for you,
Morning and evening from my croft. :"
And then his brown wings shook the
In showers from his green organ-loft.
"Before you sing your last adieu,"
said, in accents slow and soft,
"Sweet robin, eat my cherries red;
will not call you thief again
. You fairly earn your daily bread;
Long as you please, blithe bird, re-
main;
Unless our chorister is fed
He will not cheer us with his strain
Now, every year, when sping returns,
He perches on the tallest tree,
And there his tinted bosom burns
While he sings songs of cheer for me.
He works and sings, and well he earns
The fruit he picks in ecstasy.
!, Under the porch above the door,
Unframed he built his cabin nest,
Aud there his callOw nestlings four
Are sheltered under his red breast.
Soon they will sing, for they encore
His solo when he sings his best.
