occasion when voltaire was refused ad.
mittance, now led him through the
magnificent entrance Of the mansion
and ushered him, breathless with ia
tigue and emotion, into the presence Of
the Marquise de Gouvernet. For a
moment they stood before each other in
silence, when Voltaire lifted the hand
to his lips and kissed it.
"Ah, mon anil" she said with a
smile. "what have we done with our
sixty years?"
"Ah, how true!" sighed voltaire; zone

those who have l,ucd theml But in the
retrospect neither you nor ], Marquise,
has cause to commisserate ourselves.
NV life has been O romance easy to
read; but yours? what an eloquent and
desperate struggle. You took up the
war of the Titans"

Tue Democracy Of Oregon have made their
nominations of candidates for State Offices.
The ticket is composed. in the main, of men
we'll known throughout the State. and whose
records. so far "a we know. are pretty clear.
Governor Grover the present incumbent OF
the executive office Of Oregon, was renominated
by reclamation. which is but nst tribute 10 an
every way worthy man. George 4. La Dow,
III t-matilIa county. III. nominee for Repre-
SENTATIVE. TN Congress, seems to be- but little
known in tn. State. and owes his nomination
to the accident cf locality. and not to any per-
sonal popularity or fitness Of his for the office.
Mr. La Dow will be defeated unless the Repub
licans east of the Cascade mountains unite
with the Democrats in his support. Hon. :
r. Chadwick. for Secretary OF State, is good
nomination: Mart " Brown, nominee for
State Printer. ia good editor, and that IS all
we know about him a. G. Brown, the candl-
dat. for stat. Treasurer, is one Of Oregon's
best citizens. and occupies, and deserved'y,
too. n first place among her most estimable bust
nessmen-is the very best nomination that could
have been made The Platform adopted by the
convention reechoes the graveyard dogma OF
State sovereignty, and contains, generally more
sound than substance; though it sets forsh
some good principles Of craftsmanship.
