THE COMING POET.

We wouldn't exchange our copy OF
the Morning Echo for Punch or Figaro.
As humorist, it is success. It's wit
is of the dry kind, it is true, which can
not be appreciated by everybody; but
then. its publisher does not intend to
furnish brains TO comprehend its mean
ing, for the small sum of two-bits a
week. Its poetry is especially fine, as
witness the following:
Echo signs upon the bridge,
Echo OH the bay;
Cheapest. liveliest and best,
Echo of to-day"
Now that is what we call literary
gem. 1t is unique. 1t possesses po-
etc fire combined with worldly wis
dom-a reliance upon the main chance
u plaster for the bump of self-esteem
"A manifestation of tho will-power of
its talented author. So general have
been the encomiums, so unreserved
the applause which has granted this
little byou of silvery cadence, that less
pretentious writers have tried their
hands-their wits, we mean-upon SIM
liar measure, with the most hnmiliat-
ing results. The following lines will
show what fools there are in the world i:
There are many fools upon the street,
And fools OF every form, sir;
But the biggest fool of all we meet,
Is the fool around the corner"
Pshaw! what doggerel compared with
the lines OF Shookum Contributor, which
came to us redolent with the perfume
of the true flowers of poetic life! Com
pare another beautiful stanza with the
one which succeeds it:
Children cry to read the news
The Echo does contain;
Sco1ding wives will it peruSe,
And ne'er complain again.
An elevating thought, beautifully OK
pressed; but as
"Fools rush in unware
Where angels fear to tread"
So aspiring scribblers endeavor to coun-
terfeit the pure coin of the gentle Echo.
Byron had his enemies, and Tennyson
has his tribulations; must we expect
that genus is ever exempt from the pen
alties which harrass for a time, but
eventually incites to action and lead to
fame? But here is the verse of dog
gerel:
Children cried for Soothing Syrup
Until the Echo came;
But now they love their foster-nurse
The Cook which serves the same"
But space will not admit of more
extended review of this latest and best
effort of Skookum Contributor. That
he will live-and grow-and rise-and
prosper--is as certain as that Olympia
will be metropolis in FIVE years from
this day. Might as we'll try to stay the
current of the majestic Deschutes, as to
bottle up the thoughts, the inspirations,
the objects which await our small but
penderous contemporary.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 23.-At the regular week.
ly meeting of Methodist preachers yesterday,
the Bishop Haven matter was under coneid-
Grafton One set of resolutions was offered
declining to express an opinion on the third
term and deploring, Ravens course. Another
set expressed amazement at the unnecessary
alarm over so little matter, denying Ravens
right to speak for the whole Church, and
utterly opposing any connection between
Church and state. A brief but lively discus
sion followed, and finally the entire matter
was laid on the table, which Is probably the
end Of the subject.

A MYSTERY PRoBs n X LIZ r I'd CP.-Nine
years ago woman named Mrs. Rays, residing
at Stewartsvillc, Warren county, in this State,
was brutality murdered. From the fact that
she lived very unhappily with her husband,
and that they had frequent quarrels, snspic-
ion pointed to him as the murderer, but the
authorities We're unable to gather sufficient
positive evidence to convict him. A few days
ago dispatch was received at Stewartsville
from the authorities Of Cleveland, Ohio stat
ing that there was a woman there who said her
husband had murdered his first wife in the
former place in 1866 or 1867. The name
given Is Cunningham, but 1t is thought that
he may be the same person, as Kays disap-
pea-ed shortly after the murder and went
West.

RELIGIOUS MOVEMENTS "A dispatch from
George Ii. Stuart, dated Philadelphia, Jan.
IA, says:
The last service of the eighth week of
Moody and Sankey's labors in this city was
attended this evening by over 13, 900 persons,
filling the great depot building to its utmost
capacity. Many thousands were turned away,
unable to obtain even standing room. The
interest in these services has, from the first,
steadily increased, and the labors of tho reyi-
absorbing topic Of conversation in every circle
of society, from the highest to the lowest.
Men holding the foremost positions in church
aud State, as well as the poorest and most de-
PRAYED, have been found daily and nightly at
these unprecedented religious gatherings. No
description viii convey the deep and rapt at
tention of the vast multitudes. Christians OF
all religious denominations have united their
efforts for the promotion of the glorious work.
Throngs of anxious seekers have crowded the
inquiry-rooms, many of whom have found
peace and joy in believing. Eternity alone
will reveal the full measure Of the results.
A Lancaster, Pa, despatch of the same
date, says:
The Hammond and Bentley revival meet
ings last night and tonight in the Opera
House were the largest ever held in this city.
Hundreds could not gain admission. This is
the thirteenth night, and, as near as can be as
certained, between five and six hundred per-
sons have been converted, and many more are
under conviction. The revyalists will remain
here at least one week longer. The agitation
is increasing throughout the city and the sur
rounding towns of the country.
