The Spirit Of the West, which, by the
way, will hereafter appear under the
name of the Walla Walla Wdtchnadr1,
makes mention of young wife, aged IS
years, who drowned herself in fit of
dependency. If, instead of grieving
after husband who chad peremptorily
requested her, in a harsh note, not to
write to him again." she had gone
bravely to work and to make something
of herself, she would not have left
behind her the cowardly record of sui
cide's death, nor by the ill-considered
act have gone stained with crime into
the land of souls. Any coward can die;
it takes a brave man or woman to live
when assailed by outrageous fortune.

PLEASE EXCUSE Us.

We are in receipt of a short communi-
tion to which is appended the somewhat
familiar monosyllable "Kate," and
which we are very modestly asked to
"allow space for'' in our columns. Now,
we would say to 'Kate" that it would
be a gross violation of a long-estab-
lished rule of journalism for US to pub
lish ever so meritorious an article with
out being first made acquainted with
the authors name. But candidly,
''Kate," after a careful consideration of
your curious contribution, we are COM
PEELED to conclude that we could not, in
justice to our patrons, cumber our col
umns with it even had the above
prerequisite been complied with. You
have attempted poetry, but you would
probably have been better understood
had you been content to follow the
homely highway of prose. At-any rate,
we have ignominiously failed to under
stand what your subject is, or which
side of the same you assume to cham
pion, but that our readers may have an
opportunity of seeing that there is an
ineipieut Hemans or Sigourney even
in isolated Oregon, we submit the fol-
lowing stanza from your manuscript:
." Not like the blessed master
Ne'er taught such doctrines here
But called the poor and needy
And heeled them by his word"
We have often read of malignant per-
sons sending Internal machines through
the mails carefully packed, and directed
to some one against whom they held a
grudge, and since your package is pro-
found mystery to US, we dare not tamper
with it, from fear of its being moral in
fernal machine, designed to injure US or
some of our unsuspectiDg patrons.
Please excuse us.

DECISION INA OWL RIGHTS CASE.
Orange, n. J., May l, 1876.

Judge Sawyer, of the United States
District Court, San Francisco, rendered
of Green VS.. Mcguire, the plaintiff be-
ing the colored man who was refused
admission by Mcguire into his theater
some months ago, and who brought ac-
ton under the civil rights act in conse-
quence. The decision was oral, and in
it the Judge declared that the portion of
the act of Congress providing that any
manager of theater or similar institu-
ton should be guilty of misdemeanor
who should refuse admission to any col
ored person was unconstitutional and
void. Notice of appeal was given by
plaintiffs counsel.

Miss Genevisye Rogers will an
pear before a Memphis audience for the
last time, there being no performance
tonight. Miss Rogers aud the Aiken
Dramatic Troupe having to leave this
evening for New Orleans. The play,
Maud Muller. has been presented nightly
during the Week, but not to large houses,
except on last night, when tie theater
contained a large and fashionable audi
ence Miss Rogers came here a stran-
ger, but she has made a great number of
friends while here, aud has established
herself as q favorite. 1t was unfortunate
thatt the same piece was produced nightly,
but we believe Miss Rogers confines her
self entirely to the presentation Of that
play. People like a change, and Mem
phis is too small a place to run a play an
entire week with success; even the cele-
brated Kurdish troupe could not do it.
We trust Mr.. Aiken and his excellent
company will favor Memphis with an.
other visit before the season closes.

In the editorial correspondence of
Noore'S Rural Nesc Yorker the writer
speaks of the Kansas display of fruits
in the following manner:
''The apples of Kansas are remark
able in size and in every way sugges-
tive of the adaptation of the soil and
climate of that State for their success
fnl cultivation. Alexander, Rhode
Island Greening, Fallawater, Yellow
Bellefleur, Fulton, Northern Spy,
Tompkins County King of which
first rate specimens are SNOWFALL do
well in Kansas. Ben Davis, Willow
Twig, Winesap aud Jonathan are, how
ever, among their most profitable
winter sorts, while Early Harvest,
Carolina Red June and Cooper's Early
White are their staple apples for sum-
mer.
''Mr. Ricketts, celebrated hybrid
grapes excite deal of notice and
wondering comment. We can give
them at present but this passing no.

Fruits at the Centennial.

The following is the report of the
judges on genealogical products for
the week ending August 18th:
"Since our last report an exhibition
Of remarkably large apples has been
made by citizens of Bourbon county,
Kansas. Among them were Summer
Bellefleur twelve and half ounces in
weight, and ten and one-half inches in
circumference; Early Pennock ten and
a half ounces, and eleven and one
fourth inches in circumference; Low
ell nine and half ounces, and ten and
a half inches in circumference; Sum-
mer Queen twelve ounces, and ten
and half inches in circumference.
There were also some excellent apples
Incorrectly marked Gloria Mundi, and
Holly. The quality of the fruit was
good in every respect, and spoke well
of the soil and climate of Kansas as
favorable to apple culture"

Centennial Tres Planting.

Al the fall approaches, the subject
OF planting Centennial trees is again
revived. II will be the last opportu-
nifty to do work that win stand a
living monument TO the planter long
after every thing else fashioned with
his hands shall have passed away.
Every boy, especially, should plant,
this year, one or more thrifty elms or
oaks by the roadside, on the old home
stead The girls, too, should each
plant Centennial tree" And the
fathers and mothers, all over the land,
should join in the work of erecting
these living monuments to themselves
that ''may stand in stately beauty"
when the more costly marble erected
by other hands over their remains
shall have crumbled to the ground.
But selfish objects should not alone
prompt this work. Every person
ought to do something in his lifetime
for the benefit of those who come after
him-something for which future gen
erations would "rise up and call him
blessed" Who can estimate the good
that would result if every person old
enough TO do the work, could be in
duced to plant one tree by the road
side this year? One writer on this
subject says il would "convert dreary
roads into beautiful avenues, modify
our climate, protect our fields frcm
killing frosts and blasting winds, in
crease our crops, elevate the mind,and
make men better" Washington Irv-
ING says of tree planting: "There is
a grandeur of thought connected with
this heroic line of husbandry. Ii is
worthy of liberal, free-born, aspiring
men. He who plants an oak looks
forward to future ages and plants for
posterity, exulting in the idea that the
acorn which he has buried in the
earth shall grow up into a lofty pile.
and shall keep on flourishing aud in
creasing and beneflting mankind long
after he has ceased 10 tread his pater-
nal fields" We have said nothing
about the economic bearings, the Pc
euniary benefits of judicious tree
planting. These are patent to all, and
are not the least among the motives
that should prompt this work. Our
limits forbid charging upon the sub
ject, and we close by urging every one
not to let this historic year pass with
out painting at least one Centennial
tree"
