A FEATHER FOR Oscro1A.-The Wall

A FEATHER FOR OscEoLA. Wnlla-
walla Union of the 9th inst. says:
f" Foster, the horse that SO much una
vailing effort was made to bring to the
scratch in a race against Osceola, is
now down in California, and is being
trained for the great $4,000 race that
has been SO much postponed, and is now
set for Feb. 22d. If Foster dares to go
against such horses as Wildidle, Ruth
erford end Springbok, and dared not go
against Osceola, his owners certainly
must estimate those horses very low, or
Osceola very high.

The RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT PLACE
The New York World says of General
Morrison, the new chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee, that he
"bears name new to the public ear,
but widely known among the most sag
acious and trusted counselors of the
Democracy. Never an orator, either
upon the stump or upon the floor
of popular conventions or legislative
bodies, be is in better repute as man
whose solid judgment and weighty and
trusted good sense have many time in
such bodies forecast and determined
the final decisions which orators have
commended and approving ballots have
registered. To-day no is without ex-
ception the most influential man in the
councils of the Democracy of Illinois. :"
After reciting Mr.. Morrison's services
to the party, the World concludes: ga
hard-money Democrat, revenue-tariff
Democrat, o home-rule Democrat-to
his hands the shaping of new issues
and the furtherance of wise reforms, in
the face of hostile Senate and o hostile
President, can assuredly be most safely
intrusted."

RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION IN COMMON
SoHooIs.-Henry Ward Beecher don't
think the Bible should be read in pub
lie schools. "There is no reason" he
argues in his Thanksgiving Day sermon,
"why the Jew should be compelled to
listen to or pay for the reading of the
New Testament, which he did not be-
lieve; why the Roman Catholic should
be forced to have his children read or
listen to the reading of the Protestant
version of the Bible, which he did not
think correct; or why, in localities
where the majority was the other way,
the Protestant children should be
forced, in the same way, to read the
Duoay Bible"

1t is rumored that ii. is Inc intention OF

Government, taking one-half in cash

The UNION Gas MACHINE. After q fair
trial, we believe this machine to be SUI
perior to any other portable means OF
illumination in the market. 1t gives q
bright, clear and steady light, safe from
explosion, and is always ready for OPP
Grafton without filing, cleaning or trim
ming. The expense is about the same
as for the same number of lights OF
coal-oil, but one gas-jet gives almost
double the light Of a large kerosene
fame. The first cost OF the machine is
rather heavy, but we believe the amount
will be saved in a couple of years by
the saving of time and the expense OF
breakage always attending the use Of
lamps. The public is respectly invited
to inspect the machine in use at our
Office.

A BEAUTIFUL SENT1MENT.-Dr. Chal-
mers beautifully says:-"The little
that have seen in the world and know
of mankind teaches me to look upon
their errors in sorrow, not in anger.
When take the history of one poor
heart that has sinned and suffered, and
represent to myself the struggles and
temptations it passed through-the
brief pulsations of Joy, the tears of re-
greet, the feebleness of purpose, the
scorn of the world that has little char
ity, the desolation of the souls sanctuary
and threatening voices within, health
gone, happiness gone-I would fain
leave the erring soul of my fellow being
with him from whose hands it CAME"

a VEEnSe ARoUND.-Mr. Curtis, editor
OF Harpers Weekly, speaks of the "per-
sonal, selfish and intensely,.partisan char
acter Of the Administration" While we
rejoice at this evidently sincere express
sion of opinion at time when the pub
iic sentiment should be directed to-
ward reform, We cannot obliterate the
remembrance of how personal, selfish
and intensely partisan in character, /"
Harpers publications were at the close
OF the war. We do not know of any
Journal better qualified to express an
unbiased Judgment upon this subject.

CENTENNIAL H1sToRY.-The United

CENTENNIAL HIsToRY.--The United
States Centennial Commission have rec
commended the following: It seems
proper that the local celebrations of the
Fourth of July, 1876, which will be held
throughout the land, should be made
to contribute to permanent historical
memorial of the Centennial Celebration.
In each county, provision should be
made for the delivery of an address
tracing the history of that community
for the past century, or from the time
OF its settlement, and including q
sketch of its growth, its resources, in
dustries, prospects, etc. These address,
es should he published in a uniform
size,-that of the Congressional docu-
ment for instance,-in order that they
be bound together by States. To COM
petent persons the preparation of such
addresses would not be an unduly bur-
densome task; but in the aggregate they
would constitute an invaluable histori-
cal repository such as no nation has
ever had the opportunity to collect.
Designation of the historians ought
to be made without delay, in order
that they may have time to accomplish
their work. 1t is to be hoped that the
press will give general circulation to the
project, and that each journal will see
to its contamination in its own locality,
and that the slightest expense involved
be assumed by the town or county au-
thorities.

s@ 1t is said that the new post-ofice
regulations require the stamp to be
placed on the upper right-hand corner
of the envelope, or else the letter will
be sent to the Dead Letter Office.
While We can't understand why people
are SO slow to fall into customs which
usage sanctions, still the action lof the
postal department must be regarded as
arbitrary and unjust. If the rule is to
be enforced it should require envelope
makers to designate, by printing or 9TH
wise, the precise spot where the stamp
must be affixed.

The TEMPERANCE CAusE.-A New York
dispatch says that the National Tenn
perance Society has issued call for On
international temperance conference in
Philadelphia on June 18th, as fitting
occasion to consider the relations of
temperance reform in its scientific, econ
omical, intellectual, social moral and re-
ligious aspects to individual and ma
tional life; its progress and needs, and
to invite to our deliberations represen-
tatives of the cause of temperance from
foreign countries.

ANOTHER Wreck IN THE COLUMBIA R1v-
ERA correspondent of one OF the Port
land papers writing from Astoria, under
date of the IL inst, says: The bark
Rical, Capt. Clements, from San Fran
cisco, endeavoring to beat over the
Columbia bar. yesterday, had narrow
escape from total destruction. Capt.
g. safely steered his bark over the bar,
but after crossing--a stiff north-easter
blowing-.was not able, it appears, to
hold her. Three times he attempted,
Intellectually, to wear his ship. Losing
his foretopgallant sail, he was compelled
to drop anchor, after which she was
dragged over Clatsop spit into deep
water, but not without one or two heavy
thumps on the sands 1.-THE breakers run
ming very high all around herr, which
started some of her bolts and caused
her to leak considerably. The tugs
Gen. Candy and astoria went to her
assistance, and by continual pumping
she was kept afoat until they beached
her, little below the unfortunate Gus
sic Issfair, where she now lies. .,

RESCUED FROM DEATH. Alaska
Herald of the 9Th says: "While the
California was at Wrangle, a man named
Travers brought a squaw in q canoe
alongside and aboard. he then started
to return to the shore with his canoe, in
which he had another squaw. But tide
and wind were against him, and instead
of making land he drifted farther from
it. When the people on board the
steamer became aware of this fact, the
canoe was some nine miles from the
shore. Captain John Hayes at once
called on his passengers, among whom
were forty miners, TO help heave the
anchor. All worked with will, and
in very few minutes the vessel was
under way to rescue the man and the
squaw. When the steamer came up
with the canoe, Travers was already in
capable Of motion, both his hands being
badly frozen. The garments of the
squaw were q mere mass of ice. Both
were hoisted on board. The squaw has
not suffered any evil effects, but Ira
vers is liable to loose both his hands.
They were brought''on to Sitka, where
the surgeon, DIR. Fitzgerald, attended
the unfortunate man at once. Great
praise is due Captain Hayes for his
prompt assistance.

Relic OF THE Asron Exprprnos.-A

RELIC OF THE AsroR ExpEpr1oS.-A
Portland exchange says: ga little be-
low Columbia City, on the beach, is a
sandstone rock, visible at low tide, with
the water at its present stage. bearing in
several places the inscription, 1872.
1t also has engraved upon it the letter
v and the engraving Of ship. In
Franchere's Narrative an account is
given of an expedition being made up
the river in the early part of May, 1911,
(the Fur Company arrived at Astoria
the last of March), and of making va
rious landings on either side Of the riv-
er. Among the gentlemen of the par
ty were none whose name began with
V. But as one of the sailors of the
Tonquin was namel Peter Verbel, and
as sailors are much given to engraving
on ivory, shell, stone or wood, it is
more than probable that Peter Verbel
was one of the boats crew on this oc-
casion, and that he and none other left
this inscription on the rock 65 years
ago. AS all of the Tonquin's crew were
murdered by Indians of the North Coast
in the following month, this stone is
the only and lasting memorial of that
ships company in Oregon"
