Mrs. Conway's house was decorated

MRS. HAWK, NEE DOVE.

A uaWli once cOurtcd little white dove,
With the sOltCst of wings ana voice tull OF
love,
And the hawke yes, as other hawks go
Was well enough hawk for aught chat
know.
Wen, she married the hawk; the groom was
delighted,
A feast was prepared, and the friends all in
yited.
Then he flew to his nest, with the dove at his
side,
And soon all the rest took squint at the bride.
A hawk for his father, Il hawk for his mother,
4 hawk for his sister, and one for his brother,
And unclcs and aunts there were by the
dozens,
And oh, such IA number of hawks for his
cousins!
If athought of her peaceful, far away most
Ever haunted her dreams, or thrObbcd in her
breast,
No bird ever knew; each hour of her lie
Kind gentle and true, was the hawks dove
wife.
But the delicate nature too soreiy was tried ;
With no visible sickness the dove dropped
Then loud @ was was their grief, and the wish all
To call the learned birds and hold an inquest.
SO all the birds came, but each shook his
head;
No disease could he name why the dove should
lie dead.
Till a wise old owl, with knowing look,
Stated this: "1ho case is as clear as II book
ono disease do | find, or accidents shock;
The cause of her death was-tOO much hawk!
Hawk for her father and hawk for her mother,
Hawk for her sister and hawk for her brother! |!
"She was nurtured n dove too hard the
hawks litc
Void of kindness aud love, full of barshness
and strife"
And when he had told them, the other birds
knew
That this was the cause, and the verdict was
true!

Why Stiles Went Back on Grover
One Decent Democrat.
PORTLAND, Ore, July

OhibhND3 OIS', JulH q.
W. 81. W. Stiles, the witness who testi-
fed so pointedly against Grover Saturday,
publishes this morning a long statement in
the Oregonian in which he says he has d.
vulRed these things because he, as a dem
ocrat, repudiates the action of Grover in
trying to cheat the republican party out of
the electoral vote in Oregon. He says the
democratic party does not and cannot ap-
prove such desperate expedient, and will
repudiate the man responsible for it. Stiles
made an affidavit last winter to the same
statement respecting Grover that he has
now made under oath before the investi-
eating committee, and claims, therefore,
that he has done all he could from the first
TO show up this affair to the country.

wood. 1t is bold stroke Of Joseph and
his band and is reported by signal to the In
dams north and east and will stir them up to
the offensive. Accounts from parties just
from Spokeape county report that all the
settlers except FIVE men between Spokeane
lower bridge and Palouse landing, have
left their homes and fled to Walla Walla.
The indians have destroyed the fields and
gardena, and riAed dwellings. There were
reports at Almata last light that Colfax is
quiet and the first excitement has cooled.
The news here this morning indicates the
purpose of Joseph to meet or act with them
with Spokeane. Such move will imperil
all the upper settlements on the Palouse.
1t is evident that volunteer cavalry in large
force ought to be put in the field to REIN
force Gen. Howard and stop this uprising
before it assumes larger proportions.
