HISTORIC PRINTING PRESS.

Hon. J. QUINN THORNTON Dear Sir:
Being in Salem, on business, and know
ing the regard you had for my late hus-
band the Rev. Henry II. Spaulding,
and knowing, moreover, the interest you
have ever felt in everything pertaining
to the Missionary and Pioneer History
Of Oregon, I hereby and herewith pre-
sent to you the first printing press, type
and other material and fixtures for
printing, that were brought to the
Northwest coast of America. I
This precious memorial of the early
history Of Oregon, and, indeed, of the
Western coast of America, I confde
trustingly to your hands, as q most
sacred legacy, with the request that you
make some appropriate disposition of
it; and until that shall be done, you will
store it in some place at least reasonably
secure from fire. And it is my further
request that the historic relic which I
thus commit to your present keeping,
shall always remain at the seat of the
State Government. as4 A15.s9
At another time may be able to give
you more detailed and accurate his
tory of this press, and the work it has
accomplished, than I now can. At
present, I can only say that it was sent
to my late husband by the Sandwich
Island Mission, to assist him in his work
among the Nez Perce Indians, and that
it was the first printing press brought
to Oregon, which at that time was
bounded by the latitude of $40 40 on
the North, the 42d parallel on the
South, the summit of the Rocky Noun
tains on the East, and the Pacific Ocean
on the West.
From this press was issued the first
book printed on the West coast of Am
erica In addition to other matter not
remembered by me. the Gospel of Mat
thew, in the Nez Perce language, was
printed on it, also Hymn book in En-
glish and Nez Perce. This last con-
tanned various translations from the
Scriptures, and some prayers. A Nez
Perce and English Dictionary. the joint
authorship of my late husband and some
one not known to me, was also issued
from this interesting relic of the history
of the great Northwest.
Some time after the massacre of the
missionaries at Wa-il-at-pu, November
18th, 1847, the pioneer press was
brought down to the Willamette Valley
and placed in the care Of the Rev. J.. s.
Griffin, near what is now Hillsboro,
where it still remains, ready for remov-
al by you to the Capital of the State.
I ought, perhaps, to add that after
this press had thus come into Mr.. Crit
fms possession, he issued from it q
monthly periodical entitled "The Am
erican and Unionist," and that this was
the first periodical pamphlet issued upon
this coast. ,.4..
have the honor to be yours, respect
fully, RACHEL J. SPALDINs.

THE GOLDEN SIDE.

There is many rest on the road of life,
If we only would stop to take it.;
And many tone from the better land, b.
If the querulous heart would wake it.
To the sunny soul that Is full of hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth,
The grass is green and the flowers are bright.
Though the wintry storm prevalent.
Better to hope, though the clouds hang low,
And to keep the eyes still lifted;
For the sweet blue sky will soon peep
through
When the ominous clouds are lifted.
There was never night without day,
Nor an evening without morning;
And the darkest hour. the proverb goes,
Is the hour before the dawning.
There is many gem in the path OF life.
Which we pass In our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the jeweled crown
Or the miser's boarded treasure;
1t may be the love of a little child,
Or a mothers prayer to heaven,
Or only beggars grateful thanks
For a cup of water given.
Better to weave in the web of life
A bright and golden filling,
And to do Gods will with q ready heart,
And hands that are swift and willing,
Than to snap the delicate silver threads
OF our curious lives asunder,
And then blame heaven for the tangled
ends,
And sit to grieve and wonder.

q At Winnemucca, a few evenings
ago, q party of loye-sick swains out on
q serenading expedition, halted under
the window OF a young iady's' boudols,
and with throats and instruments at
tuned to loves ditties beseeched the
fair one, whom they supposed was
dreaming those happy hours away, "to
awake while they touched their guitars" )"
but the lady not responding to their ap-
peal, they tried again and again to
arouse her with love-laden melodies,
until finally Celestial stuck his head
out of a window at the other end of the
house, and astonished the serenaders by
saying: Mclean women all gone to
lanch, and me no hkee Mclean mans
fiddle" This, the Slrer State says,
had cooling effect on the young mems
ardor, and they retired from tho scene
disguised, and drowned their remorse
at the nearest saloon. Hereafter they
intend to set watch on young ladies
whom they contemplate serenading, SO
that mistakes of that kind will not oc-
cur again. 1t is 80 disheartening to
learn that young lady is twelve miles
off in the country after an hours sing
ing under her chamber window.

PoLITENEss AT HoME.-Always speak
with the utmost politeness and defer
ence to your parents and friends.
Some children are polite and civil every
where else except at home; but there
they are coarse and rude enough.
Nothing sits so gracefully upon child
rem, and nothing makes them so lovely,
as habitual respect and dutiful doport-
ment towards their parents and supe-
riors. It makes the plainest face beau-
tiful, and gives to every common action
a nameless but peculiar charm.

The "PRIvnEaE TAX.
Ames of Mississippi, and the miscellan-
eous crowd of negro rascals and white
carpet -baggers and scalawags who are
in authority in that unfortunate State,
are evidently determined to use their
power to the utmost for the oppression
Of the people so long as they can main
tain themselves in Office. Some time
ago the New York Sun published tax
bills and other evidences of the extor-
tionate taxation which the property
owners in Mississippi are obliged to en-
dure under the rule of the black and
white plunderers who have been fas-
tened upon them, and now it seems that
Ames and his crew have invented new
process for wringing more money from
the impoverished people. It is called
q privilege tax land imposes an annual
contribution to the tax collector of sums
varying from few dollars to few
thousand for the privilege of pursuing q
reputable occupation. Almost every
imaginable mode of gaining liveli-
hood, except farming and preaching. is
included in the list of occupations which
render person liable to the payment
of the privilege tax; aud in order to
make its victims pay up promptly, it is
provided that any person exercising
any of the privileges enumerated in the
bill without first paying the tax shall be
fined, or imprisoned, or both, at the
discretion of the court. The law also
provides that the suit shall be main
tanned in any Court in the State TO en-
force the payment of any claim that
may accrue to any person on account of
any business subject to the privilege
tax if the person bringing the suit has
failed to pay this extortionate imposi-
ton. If Ames only lives long enough,
he will doubtless become as unpopular in
Mississippi as his iaihsr-in-iaw, Ben
Butler became in Louisiana. - Eran,i-

in New Brunswick, but several converts
to Christianity were sufficiently warmed
with faith to enable them to enter tho
portals OF tho colored Baptist church
through the turgid waters Of Grand

have been immersed on that day. He
lodged behind the crowd that stood on
the river bank, and hid until the cere-
mony was over. He afterward explained
his strange conduct by saying:

EXPERIMENTS WrfH FLOWERS.

The Journal d Horticulture de France
contains some interesting particulars On
the artificial coloring Of natural flowers.
Those that have -iolet hue will grad
ually change color and turn TO green
under the influence Of the smoke Of
cigar. This change is owing to the
ammonia contained in tobacco. STINT
ing from this circumstance the italian
professor, L. Gabba, has made aseries
of experiments on q variety of plants
with that alkali in its natural state. His
apparatus Is q very simple 0nes merely
consisting Of a plate into which he poars
liquid ammonia, covering IL Afterwards
with o reversed glass funnel. The
flower to be tested is inserted into the
tube. In this way he has seen violet,
blue, and purple turn to bright green;
intense carmino red (of the pink) be-
come black; white turn yellow, dc.
The most extraordinary results were
afforded by variegated flowers. When
the latter, Immediately after this expo
sme, are dipped into pure water, they
will retain their new colors for several
hours, after which they simply return
to their former state. Another curious
discovery of Professor Gabba's is that
the flowers OF aster, or starwort, that are
violet and have no smell, acquire de-
lightful fragrance and turn red under
the influence of ammonia. We know
that the Japanese, by means of injec-
tions which they keep secret can color
OF whiten flowers and obtain wonderful
variega,ion. The Chinese have also
secrets of their own, among which is
one for reducing large trees to a dwarf
size. The Garden of Acclimatization
has at this moment an orange tree, q
hundred years old, and imported from
China, no bigger than rose tree; It's
fruit scarcely attains the size of q cherry.

An unhealthy Trado

A physician Of Sheffield, England,
makes the statement that the forkerind.
ers' employment is probably more fatal
than any other pursued in England.
There are generally from eight to ten
individuals at work in each room where
the industry is carried on. The grinding
is always performed on a dry stone. and
the dust, composed of fine particles of
stone and metal, rises in clouds, and per-
vades the atmosphere to which the opera
tiyes are confined. The dust, which is
inhaled with every breath, gradually in
duces diseases of the lungs, and Under
mines the vigor of the constitution. Dit.
fculty of breathing, coughing, and a
wasting of the : frame are often expert
enced by the workmcn at the early age
OF 25. The ACREAGE longevity of mem.
oers Of the trade does not exceed 80
years.
