MARRIED IN ErF1ey.-People have
been hung in effigy, time and again,
but who ever heard of anybody
being married in efigy, until the
merry maidens of one of the towns
in Southern Oregon took it into
their heads to punish ceibate,
who had sinned away his days Of
grace in single blessedness.? A cor
respondent of the Portland Stand
ard says that while the groom elect
was attending to business down
town, these damsels repaired to his
home, set fine dinner, and placed a
straw woman at the head of the table,
and then followed the unsuspecting
victim to his bachelor abode. He
took the joke in good part, and all
partook of the sumptuous repast,
and in mock solemnity wished the
welded pair a long life Of domestic
bliss. Probably that old batch will
take the hint, and become a bene-
dict indeed before another visit of
his prosecutors becomes necessary.

miles long, and about four wide. The
green fertile borders, of some parts
of the lake shore, are in striking
contrast with the appearance pre-
sented by other parts. which are
hemmed in by rugged mountains,
sloping down to the very edge of
the water. Some portions of the
lake present very deceptive aspect,
so you are inclined to doubt its real
size. This is owing to the height of
the mountains ON each side, which
has the effect of dimishing the view
to more than one-half its real mag
nitude.
This is tho land of Tell, and
the locality bordering on the lake
is noted as the scene of his terrible
exploits.
Reader, was you ever disappointed?
If SC you can appreciate our situation.
Just here, partly through careless

@The floating saw-mill, recently
built by Mr.. Perkins on Lewis river,
is doubtless the first movable struc-

* The Unitarian Sociable, held
in Unity Hall, lass Wednesday even
ing, was attended by the Customary
happy throng, and everything passed
off in the usual enjoyable manner.
The literary exercises closed before
nine o'clock and the dancing before
twelve, so that there was no tagging
of interest, and everybody got home
at a seasonable hour. The popu-
larity OF these gatherings is owing in
q great degree to the sensible plan
upon which they are based.

REVIVAL WoRK.-The M. E. church
of this city has been enjoying a re-
freshing revival during the past
two weeks. Nightly meetings, of
two or three hours duration, are
held, and will continue for an in
definite period. The remarkable
feature of these meetings is the
earnestness of participants in preach
ing, praying, exhorting, &c. Al
ready tho number of conversions has
reached moro than q dozen, and the
prospect is fair for still more ex-
tended work of this kind, as the in
terest and power ore increasing.

The Russians have crossed the Dau-

A CONFEDERATE TORPEDO.
An Incident in the War Without a
Parallel.
Letter 10 The Richmond Wl.g.T


< :; = But Of all the boasts in
all the tide Of time, and of all the
daring deeds OF mankind in the history
Of wars, that Of Lieutenant Dixon,
Twenty-frst Alabama Volunteers, IN
the submarine torpedo boat in the
Charleston harbor, in 1864, stands I'M
paralleled,
This boat operated under water.
She could take the bearing Of her
enemy more than a mile away, then
settle down under the surface Of the
water, head for the hostile ship, and
strike her at any depth below the water
line. She required a crew Of nine
men, all told-a captain, or pilot, and
eight men to pTopel her.
She was built in Mobile by Hundley
& McClintock, who took her by rail to
Beauregard at Charleston. He called
for volunteers from the feet to man
her and use her against the ironsides.
Lieutenant Payne, Confederate navy
Ga Nirginian), and eight seamcn vol
unteered to take her out. She was
made ready one evening, and lying
alongside Il steamer. The crew were
all at their posts inside the boat. Payne
was standing in the round hatchway,
Just about to stood down into his place
and filsten the hatch down when the
wave Of a passing steamboat swept
over and into her, sinking her instant
ly. Payne caught by the guards of
the steamer and sprang out; the other
eight men went down with the boat
and persisted.
In few days she was again raised,
and HUndley and crew took her into
Stone river, where she divcd and swan
on the water and under it, showing all
her powers, until presently she dived
and carried her haplcss owner and
crew with her to the bottom. When
they were found a week after her noz-
zle was down deep into the mud Of the
bottom, ahd the boat was inclining
forty-five degrees to the surface. Her
ballast had shifted and her crew were
unable to relieve her, and they all per
ished.
Again she was made ready for action,
and though they had seen the fate of
the three crews, a fourth, led by Lieu
tenant Dixon, Of the Twenty-first Ala
bama Infantry, volunteered to take
her out and attack Housatonic, new
corvette, which had just arrived on
the station, and was lying outside Il
few miles off Charleston harbor.
Brave Dixon steered his boat with
the certainty Of Fate, struck the Hous-
atomic fairly, and blew her whole stern
off The ship sunk III two minutes
and half, and the torpedo boat dis
appeared forever. Six years after
ward men in submarine armor went
down to the wreck Of the Housatonic,
and they report the Torpcdian lying
on the bottom, 100 feet from where
her great victim lies. Undoubtedly
the conclusion produced by the explo-
sion Of the torpedo destroyed instantly
the lives of Dixon and his crew.

THE RIGHT VIEW.

Gen, s. L. Woodford of New York
Lieutenant Governor under Dix, and a
strong Republican, delivered an adj
dress ON the 9th ult, before the lit
crary societies of the University of
Mississippi, at Oxford. The speaker
reviewed the political condition of the
country, and showed that his party
erred Immediately after the war in
prescribing the Southern States. Pro
scription was not the remedy Con-
ciliatiOn should have been tried. He
urged that liberation should be prac-
ticcl by the people of all sections.
Mutual regard for the rights and i'm
munities Of all classes should be en-
Outraged The North had its labor
troubles in the case of the "MOIlie
Maguires" of Pennsylvania, and the
South its troubles through politics and
race prejudice. He claimed that all
these disturbances amounted to law
lessncss bidding defiance to establish
ed social and legal Safeguards. This
must cease.

Nationalism versus ScctionaIism.

louisville Courier-Journal, June 81
The editor Of the Princeton, Banner,
responding to the address of welcome
to the Kentucky Press at Frankfort
the other day, took occasion to utter
some well-timed and wcll-cOnsidered
words in behalf of Nationalism. As
usually happens when one rises above
the atmosphere of the precinct into the
upper and purer air Of his whole
country, Mr.. Allen has encountered
criticism. Our colleague, however,
shall not be left to fight his battle by
by himself. If this be contest for
patriotic h0nOrs, count us in.
In using the word Nationalism, 5"
Mr.. Allen did not mean, and did not
convey to any reasonable, intelligent
mind the Idle Of "Ccntralism," as OPP
posed to the idea home-rule, or State
rights. His meaning was clear from
the context. He sought to inculcate
an all-cmbracing love of country and
to stigmatize over-wecning parWism
and sectiOnalism.
To sectionaliSm and partyism we
owe our undoing; we shall owe Our
restoration to Nationalism, and to Ma
tionaliSm alone.
As Il section, the South is no more a
power. 1t is only by raising sectional
standards, by arraying the North as a
section against the South as a section,
that the Radical leaders Of the Rcpub-
lican party hope to maintain their pO-
sitjoH. They have everything to gain
by scctionalizing the politics of the
country. Nationalize it, break up its
scctioRality, and they are lost. BY
this very token, rhe South has every
motive of interest which can prompt a
people to insist upon the application of
the largest and most generous national
sentiment to governmental affairs. Its
future depends upon so natioualiziHg
the spirit of the North as VIII admit
the South into Il complete sentimental,
as physical, fellowship. Otherwise,
We should never have done with dCma-
goSues like Blaine, Butler and Morton,
with their bloody shirt. Otherwise,
we should hang pcrpctiIally upon the
passions of 4 section strong enough
when consolidated 70 overwhclm Us.
We should thus become Il penSioner
upon the caprice Of the times. Sec
tionalism in the South Is campaign
capital for RadicaliSm in the North.
1t Is just the preteXt which the Radi-
cal leaders want. Nationalism, on the
other hand, love Of country, devotion its
free Institutions, constitutes an irrcsisti-
bic appeal to elements Of patriotic
desire which are common in every see
ton. The hope Of CentraliSm Is sec
tionalisrn- The hope Of home rule Is
NatiOnaliSm
Mr.. Allen can afford to fly his flag
As long as it bears nothing but national
embIems. Those Southern men who
carp ut such expressions as his have
not learned the lesson Of their day and
generation. Doubtless they never will.
But the American people, North and
South. are cminently practical and

WHERE ARE THEY!

Where are our real true statesmen?
Some contend that We have none.
That those who prcteEI to wear that
high honor arc an enlGsculation Of the
former class Of men who shaped and
directed national events. There has
been SO much heated, acrimonious,
,scctionalism in this country for the
past ten years that the political atmos-
phcrc has been unf1vOrable to the pro-
duction Of statesmen whose personal
purity and power could unite all hearts
in an ardent devotion to the union.
Henry Clay once said, whatever
Others may do, for myself, l am firmly

such noble sentiment at this dav?
is Iset this the case: that we will not

THE DRIFT.

Iowa und New Hampshire Rcpub-
licans have substantially declared
against endorsing the conciliatory
course of Mr.. Hayes. We agree with
the Nashville american that ''the
Southern policy of the President has
acen commended by the Democrats
and few Republicans" 1t is becom-
ing evident that the leaders of the Re
publican party are resolved to break
with Mr.. Hayes, and make war on his
administration. They claim that he
has proven false to party VOWS.
Let us analyze this opposition. They
Oppose Hayes because he withdrew the
troops from the South, and gave that
section the blessings of local sclf-gov-
crnmcnt. En- ether words, because he
enforced the Democratic doctrine of
States Rights they oppose him be
cause he favors peace, sectional recon-
citation and a guarantee Of protection
and equality TO all races and sections.

The political situation in Ohio is be-
coming interesting. The declaration
Of Judge Taft and Governor Young to
allow th..r names to he used in con-
nection with the Gubcrnatorial Con
vcntioH has narrowed the Republican
list Of candidates materially. Both
are pronounced silver men, and it Is
apparent that no candidate holding
different financial views viii have any
chance Of success. The entire Demo
cratic party Of Ohio and two-thilds Of
the Republican party are without
doubt in favor Of the reconciliation Of
silver, and there can be no issue be
tween parties on the main question.
There Is, however, q great variety Of
opinions on minor financial points, and
ii is likely that the platforms will he

The Democrats are 50 confident Of sue
cess in the campaign that they are al
ready quarreling over the nominations.
George Fl. Converse, the late Demo
cratic Speaker Of the State House Of
Representatives, and George II. Pen
dleton are working together, the for
mer for the Governorship and the lat
ter for the United States Senatorship.
Since the withdrawal Of General Ew-
ing as candidate for Governor they
form the strongest combination in the
field. An effort by the executive COM
mittee Of Hamilton county to abolish
the primaries and fix up a delegation
to Columbus in favor Of PcndIeton
and Converse has produced much cN-
element in this city. General Ewing,
for the Senatorship, has strong back
ing, but he finds himself seriously Grip
pied by a heavy suit, brought against
him by Col. Thomas a. Scott and II.

1t is worthy Of note that nearly all the
Democratic candidates are pronounced
inflationists.
