natl; but it would seem hardly safe to
nominate a man for President whose
brain may have been seriously affected
by apoplectic effusion. Still there can
be no doubt that Blaind's illness has
had the effect to create to create great
sympathy for him, even among his po-
litical enemies, and the kilograms
from Cincinnati give assurance that
none Of his friends have yet deserted
him on account of it. Blaine is not a
man whom the Democratic party need
fear if he is nominated He has very
great ability, and has more personal
popularity than any other man named
In connection with the Cincinnati nom
ination. He is a general favorite with
the members of the Press, to which
fact he owes much of his political
advancement. But he is SO involved,
even by his own statements, in ques-
tionable, if not positively corrupt, trans
actions, as member of Congress; that,
whatever may have been the temporary
effect of his darling coup de main (e) in
the House, the sober second thought Of
the people will condemn him, and he
will, if nominated, prove an unfortun,
ate choice,

gives general satisfaction here. The
report of the House Committee fully
exonerated him from the charge OF
bribery brought against him by Harvey
and was signed by all the members Of
the committee, including the two
Republican members. The latter made
speeches expressing their confidence in
the integrity of Mr.. Kerr, and the
House unanimously accepted the report
of the committee. Altogether, it was a
pleasant scene to witness, in these times
when party spirit is so rife.

TRUE PIETY.

Piety should make none of Gods
reasoning creatures sad; it should not
draw down the corners of the mouth
or give the eyes an upward slant, or
thicken the membrane of the ear, or
make the creature anything else than
what the Maker intended-a free, JOY
Gus and happy being. Piety should
make its possessor love his fellow man;
make him obey the Golden Rule; make
him infuse some of the sunlight Of his
being into the hearts of others, that
their burdens may be lightened, their
pathways made brighter, and their love
for the Infinite increased by NANTES
tattoo of His power through His people.
Those who believe that to be pious, it
is necessary to renounce all worldly
pleasures, possess but an imperfect idea
of the attributes of divine wisdom. If
this had been the intent of the Creator,
there would have been no singing birds
and frisking lambs, no joyous sunshine,
no Aeecy clouds. If it had been intend
ed as place of lamentation, through
which the soul must pass to enjoy regal
bliss on the other shore, it would have
been draped in sombre colors, to have
preserved the congruity which Nature
observes in all her works.
The number of over-righteous people,
let it he said to the credit of human in
telligence, is small, and even they are
entitled to sympathy rather than con-
tempt. for such views can be traced di-
rectly to mental OR physical infirmity, If
their ailment is subjected to careful d.
asnosis. The anecdote of the old lady,
who when asked if she had religion, re-
piled that she had religion or worms
she did not know which, although it
may seem irrelevant, illustrates the pre-
else idea we would impress upon our
readers.
We hold that no creed or ritual will
''save" anybody. The acts which flow
from the promptings of the heart are the
index of the soul. When we view the
animal economy, and consider the close
relationship existing between the bodily
and mental functions, the Narrow Road
does not appear near as tortuous or diff
ficult of ascent. Those who obey Ma
lures laws can scale the heights with lit
tie difficulty, but those who neglect them
may dwell in sackcloth and ashes, and
still, when the dark river is reached, ind
that they will fare no better than
those who they had always consigned
to eternal perdition.

capital thus afforded, the business was
at once materially extended.
A new frame So by ITO feet was i'm.

with the sash-saw, increased the daily
product to about 20 900 feet, when run
ming full time, "a hours. The firm
likewise leased the Lincoln Flour Mill,
at the lower falls, and for several
months, supplied the local demand for
-four and feed. They likewise estab-
lish.d general variety store in
Olympia, on the corner of Main and
Third streets, which for time did a
thriving business. The site, with inn
provements, at Tumwatel, was valued
ut about $4,000, and the store and
stock here at $4,000 more. During
the succeeding year, sash and door
factory, 40 by so feet, was built, adj

agement of Messrs. Ward L. Mitchell
employing on an average seven men
the year round. The mill is supplied
with sash-saw, an edger which cuts r.
inch " cants"-cut-off saws, slabs saw
and 24-inch Putnam planer. The fac
tory has all the improved machinery
usually found in such establishments
including lathes for turning wood and
iron. All styles of doors and windows
are made, and constantly kept in stock
at the salesroom in this place, as well
as every variety of lumber at the extern
sion yards on Columbus and Fourth
Streets. Here likewise may be found O
general assortment of hardwood tim
ber- oak, ash, alder and maple-s
speciality which, we believe, is peculiar
to this yard. Hardwood lumber sells
at from 5 to 10 cents per foot.
The machinery is driven by four Ken
dali turbine wheels, one of which is &
horse power, and another As, which
run the athinery of the mill, ant
two of smaller capacity, which supply
power for the factory. The head O
water used is IL feet.
The property now owned by the firm
including that already enumerated
the Excelsior grist-mill, and the upre
and middle falls-embracing tract O
land across the stream 700 feet i.
length, with fall of 40 feet-is 29(
acres of fine timber land lying contig
ious to the mill site, 800 acres in tn
Walker claim, and 120 acres of TIN
We1lman claim, all situated in clos
proximity to the Deschutes, in which
logs can be foated to the mill at an,
stage of water.
The annual product of this mill is
about 2, GOO, 900 feet, all of which is uset
in the local trade. The prices rang
from s. to $40 for rough lumber ant
$40 to $25 for dressed, such as sidini
nooring, etc. these hgures indicate /
slight decline from the quotations o
former years, when competition was les
and many new buildings were construc
ted under the stimulus incident to rail
road expectations. The growth is nov
slower, but of better class of build
ings, denoting sure and steady advance
ment.

Blue AND GRAY.

"Oh, mother, what do they mean by

And what do tley Ineaa by gray

As she bounded in from play.
The mothers eyes filed mp with tears;
She turned to her darling fair,
And smoothed away from the sunny
brow
Its treasures of golden hair
"Why, mothers eyes are blue, my sweet,
And grandpa's hair is gray,
And the love we bare our darling child
Grows stronger every day"
'But what did they meanP persisted the
child;
''For saw two cripples to-day,
And cne of them said he fought for the
The %Ii other, he fought for the gray"
'sNow. he of the blue had lost one leg,
The other had but one arm,
And both seemed worn and weary and
sad,
Yet their greeting was kind and warm.
They told of battles in days gone by,
Til it made my young blood thrill;
The leg was lost at the Wilderness fight,
And the arm on Malvern Hill.
''They sat on the stone at the farmyard
gate
And talked for an hour or more,

hearts seemed warm,
With fighting their battles DER:

their backs, and otherwise endaugering
their limbs or sen l have now IN

rendered a cripple for life through his
fathers carelessness IN lifting him by
the ankles, while he was small child,
